A lot less to regenerate really; I mean with an arm you have to regrow bones, muscles, skin, nerves and blood vessels, and probably a lot more stuff. Plus, there's more surface area in that then a blade-sized hole in the gut.

@Gojira: Besides bone, all of that is present in a gut wound, and there's potential for damage to a number of tissues which aren't particularly good at healing. Either way, both injuries would require surgery in the real world, unlike say the scratches on Jaune's face.

Eh, you'd probably need a way better healing factor than anyone has shown, somewhere between Naruto's, which let him heal from a pierced lung in seconds, and Ulquiorra's, which lets him regenerate anything that isn't his brain or internal organs.

It's also possible/probable that Aura is just doing field dressings, keeping her from bleeding out and giving her enough mobility to get out of there, and she'll still need surgery. We also don't know how deep the stab was, or even where in the gut it was.

Maybe Aura can regenerate lost limbs, provided the nerves and such don't die. The reason it's never been seen? You normally won't have any Aura if a limb gets chopped off.

Welp. Guess this means we're headed toward a Downer Ending, there's really nothing I can see that would turn things around without it coming off as an Ass Pull at this point.

And given how badly everyone is getting their asses kicked, its time for a training arc :V Yang trains with Qrow, Weiss learns how to use her stand, Yang gets used to her inevitable Artificial limb, and Blake can probably learn how to fight.

As for Adam breaking past Yang's defenses I just kind of assumed that Aura can only cover so much damage, like if you have a mountain dropped on you it is probably going to squish you Aura or not. His big attacks seem to absorb tons of power to release with one big attack, cutting through all of Yang's remaining Aura.

So I take back what I said about the Nightmare Fuel page not getting a lot of bad examples. Fortunately despite some people's earlier pessimism specific examples of misuse don't ever come back, so the clean up has largely worked.

Fortunately there's only one more episode to go. Surely it couldn't be full of even more scary stuff. I mean we've only had Cinder get a massive power up through murdering another character on screen, Roman eaten alive (but probably not dead as there was no chewing and the Griffon got stomped by Ruby a few seconds later), a massive dragon that has yet to do anything directly, Grim from all sides carrying minor characters off, Ozpin facing down a full-powered Cinder by himself, Neo still around with the promise she's going to do something that'll make us hate her, Yang's lost an arm to Adam whose showed no hesitation in killing or torturing others and is still on the loose, and on top of all of that Cinder's recording everything and most likely going to release an edited version of the footage to start provoking strife across the planet.

Surely none of that could lead to something horrifying?

you really have to HAND it to Adam, he managed to find a way to DEARM Yang without activating he semblance.

Speaking on Ozpin, does anyone have any ideas on how Cinder and him are related?

[up] Not at all, given that Ozpin would have recognized her in the tournament if they knew each other. As far as the other person Cinder mentions ("she was right about you"), I'm going to guess that's Raven, who would presumably have been a Pupil of Ozpin's Before She Turned To Evil, and whatnot.

Wow, that was a dramatic episode. Say what you like about the plot, or the voice acting, or the pacing, but holy fuck the battles are cool. YASSS VELVET.

I'm not sure if I love to hate adam or I just hate him. He's definitely not my favourite antagonist.

Also I watched series 1 of red vs blue today. Roosterteeth have come a loooooong way in 13 years

I still think Volume 3 should be renamed "Wham Episode: The Series", because that's literally every episode since "Never Miss A Beat".

I honestly want Volume 4 to bring back the humor.

Also, FUCK ADAM!!! And I guess Yang joins Sesshomaru from Inu Yasha and Edward Elric from FMA in "older siblings that lose arms". She's more likely to end up like Ed or a Skywalker and get a mechanical limb. Sesshomaru, being from a time period where metal arms aren't a thing, simply became more badass and eventually regained it.

EDIT: Airman, I like your avatar!
