  • Chapters 28 & 29 - 'I Burn'
    • After Banesaw is defeated, Yang and Weiss see that his face has been branded. Even worse, he reacts to seeing Weiss by cowering in fear and begging her not to hurt him, his trauma from the SDC reducing him nearly to a little kid.
      Banesaw: Mountain Glenn! That's all I know! They made me stay here for recruitment and that's where they wanted the new meat sent! That's all I know, I swear! Please don't hurt me, Schnee! Please!
    • Keep in mind, Yang was the one Banesaw had dueled, blasted him through a cage, and then threatened him with Hot Red Dragon Archfiend to get the information Team RWBY wanted. Throughout all of it, Banesaw showed nothing but Villainous Valor, daring her to do her worst. But the moment he saw Weiss and her Blue-Eyes, who wasn't threatening him and had actually just stopped Yang from going too far, his bravery crumbled. No wonder Weiss is sent into a minor Heroic BSoD and temporarily Rage Quits Team RWBY's investigation.
