* AdaptationalAbomination: [[spoiler:Salem canonically WasOnceAMan who was cursed with immortality and tried to escape it by jumping into the Pool of Destruction, being warped by it into her current state. Here, "Salem" is a Grimm who gained sentience after a human woman fell into a pool of Destruction and was subsequently possessed, starting life as confused and impressionable before the woman's family and fiancé treated her with fear and hatred [[ThenLetMeBeEvil which kickstarted the entire Grimm hivemind into their war on mankind]]. Salem wasn't even her original name until Ozpin's first incarnation named her, and she needs to periodically [[PossessionBurnout take new bodies to replace the failing ones]].]]

[[spoiler:Whereas canonically they were married lovers whose love was torn apart by their circumstances and failings into bitter enemies fighting for the world's fate, here that never happened. Salem instead is a [[AdaptationalAbomination Grimm who gained sentience from possessing a human woman]] that existed long before the cataclysm that destroyed Remnant, while Ozpin was born after the cataclysm and his original incarnation was the wizard (who was incidentially [[LastOfHisKind one of the last who could still use magic]]) who bestowed his magic on the original Four Maidens. Salem came to him after that seeking to fool him into undoing the magical seal keeping the Four Relics locked away from her grip, and in the struggle that followed after he did so and she fatally wounded him he managed to take the Relics away (and gaining his curse of ResurrectiveImmortality in the process of touching the divine objects) and hide them before he succumbed to injury and revived for the first time, starting his eternal mission of keeping the Relics safe.]]

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Once, there was a time that the Creatures of Grimm didn't hunt down humanity. [[spoiler:In their original state as beings born from the essence of Destruction that took form by absorbing and possessing unfortunate wildlife that fell into the pool, they were no different from animals that just wanted to live on their own, but the sheer ''wrongness'' of their presence and appearance made them feared and hated by humanity and even other animals as demons and monsters. The tipping point was when a human woman accidentally fell into the pool and emerged, the newly-sapient Grimm struggled to properly convey its confusing feelings and ended up killing its host's father who was a king, which caused an uproar that lead to horrible attacks and insults that tipped the woman, who in the future would be known as "Salem", over the edge and through her connection with the rest of the Grimm prompted them to begin their genocidal campaign against humanity.]]

* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: As the Remnant gang are beginning to be trained by the Z Fighters, Goku decides to confront Ruby's lack of hand-to-hand skills directly. When Ruby awkwardly tries to copy his fighting stance, he laughs and points out that she needs to use what comes naturally to ''her'', telling her she simply needs to take the instincts she developed from using Crescent Rose and apply them to fighting bare-handed. He uses their following spar to bait her into building her confidence, hesitating and leaving openings for her to exploit for dodging, throwing, blocking, and striking back. As Qrow notes watching from the sidelines, while Ruby's skill level is still novice, Goku's lesson has gotten over her biggest barrier of self-doubt and has left her ''eager'' to learn more rather than trying to deny its necessity.
