[up][up]I dont think so, blakw was important to Adam, maybe as far he is concern one of his most trusted member run away from the fight and join a team of humans without caring about faunus.

[up] Calling her "my love", saying "all I wanted was you", swearing revenge for her betrayal above anything else? Totally something someone who totally wasn't a former lover.

[up]But also saying about his revolution and how they cant be peace with humanity and their only fate is destruction, clearly he is agains Blake ideas and since peace at the very prospect of equality between both.

but again, there is a lot missing between this two.

Fuck it, episode 4, let's do this.

Intro! Skipping that. Don't care.

Ohai Coco and Yatsu. I am interested in your existence. Goddamn they really went the extra mile for those arenas, I am liking this. VA work's okay, dialogue needs some work, Yatsu's voice sounds slightly garbled but it's pretty cool so I am forgiving :D.

"BEGIN!" Emmy and Merc step slowly into the bushes, Coco and Yatsu are all "whut" and then minigun happens. That was actually funny, I kinda liked that. Good thing the forcefields are there. Merc steps in and HOLY SHIT CQC into breakdancing missile hurricane. My god, Mercury is a joy to watch. Poor Yatsu. Coco vs Emmy's also pretty decent, although those trees are apparently tougher than Nevermores. That was a genuinely excellent fight, I had fun watching that. :D

Cut from CFVY being sad to Weiss and Winter bonding. It's actually a rather nice bonding scene, and the summoning exposition is relatively natural compared to the usual for this series (albeit with a few hiccups here and there). Also, spiritpuppy. Yey.

And then we have the other family reunion of the day. Yay Qrow! Game is extremely 2D, and Ruby is apparently still very easy to toss. Lead-in to Qrow's story could've used some work. Ruby's laugh kinda hurts, Yang seems oddly incensed about Qrow being a lecher when she's kind of a flirt herself. Relevant exposition starts up and I'm reminded of Ozpin's rhetorical question to Ironwood last episode about how bringing in a fleet might get people worried about why it's even there, and yet considering the Grimm invasion last season I'd say the reason why should be pretty evident to even random people on the street. Team STRQ is finally named, and I like it! Ruby has a point about the fashion sense, though.

Back to team Schnee! Weiss says she's trying, but she obviously doesn't give a damn anymore. I'd say she needed that whack. Papa Schnee gets mentioned again, and it's evident the sisters, or at least Weiss, consider him to be a bit of a necessary evil at times. Hell of a way to get your daughter to call home, by the by. That "choice" Winter was talking about at the end confused me, but the farewell itself I rather liked. Another pretty decent episode. Not perfect, but I liked it.

but HOW?

Yeah, RWBY is nowhere near bleak enough to qualify for Darkness Induced Audience Apathy.

I'm a bit surprised no one has taken down that entry yet. I'd do it but I don't have time right now because of food.

[up][up][up] They clearly had a significant relationship, whether its romantic or otherwise. A relationship intimate enough that it affected Adam negatively when she deserted him. That's all that really matters so far.

This show needs to be more gay. My craving for the gay won't be satisfied until there's several explicit homosexual couples. There's enough room for that, if they can already find room for heterosexual ship teasing.
From the YMMV on this very wiki for RWBY:

in interview about the show, Monty pointed out that there will be queer characters appearing in the show (if they aren't there already) and that practically the entire cast wants it to happen.

In all honesty though, yeah, I can see Bumblebee being a thing (also, can someone explain where the fuck the y version came from?)

[up][up][up]Yeah, that I can understand, for what I see Blake saw Adam as sort of a mentor, almost like a obi wan kind of deal(after all he fear for Yang going the same path) but Adam feelings for Blake since...strange.

Also, I dont it dosent have to do with anything but I find Adam in this episode like Kylo ren doing right: creepy and unstable but capable, is that hard to do? ughh

I just had a thought... Aren't Maidens' powers kind-of sentient? If so, could it be possible that unless Cinder can justify her actions as 'good' (at least to herself) the Fall Maiden's powers will tear her apart, in a gory fashion, before disappearing towards their new host. Of course, this will NOT happen before she beats Ozpin down hard.

Also, is it just a coincidence that the number of Maidens is 4. Just like there are 4 girls in team RWBY. I have a strong feeling that they all will end as the new Maidens. And probably the last ones ever. As in, there will be no more humans/faunus around to make the next generation even possible.

[up]Now THAT would send the series hardcore into Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. Seriously, even Drakengard is nowhere near that dark in the canon endings for the first two games.

Also, I just thought of something:

What if their relationship was platonic from Blake's viewpoint, but Adam wanted it to be something more?

[down]What if she didn't know Adam's real feelings until exactly the point when Adam said "my love" and "all I wanted was you"? Some people are very good at hiding their feelings if they know the other person just isn't into them like that (speaking from experience here)

Then Blake would probably have reacted him saying love constantly with outward disgust.

Even if that's the case, it's looking increasingly like Cinder see's her actions as a Necessary Evil. Which isn't a bad thing; the Well-Intentioned Extremist is, when executed well, one of the most realistic, and compelling villain archetypes in my opinion.

[up][up][up]Pretty much, also Adam have been cold toward everyone(including) cinder, so having him so pissed about Blake seen to much to be just lovers(as far he is concern) also reducing a pseudo revolutionary to a "nice guy".....no, please no.

Again, that depend of WHY she is so piss at him, my theory is that as far she can tell, Ozpin have been keping the maiden power for himself, after all "keeping" and "protecting" are almost the same thing.

You keep saying this and then don't provide any evidence to back up your claim.

Hmm.... Doesn't seem to be Jen Taylor [lol]

@unknowing: There's a difference between a "nice guy" and someone who wants a relationship, but remains Just Friends because they know the other person isn't into them. A pretty big fucking difference

"It's either going to be Raven or someone voiced by Jen Taylor. Hell, it could be both; did Raven even have a VA?"

I dont think is raven, I see her more conect to the white fang or something with that mask of her, anyway if she and taiyang see again, that would be VERY intersting to see...

@MEKristian Well, for one, there's the matter of the lyrics of Sacrifice (I think? It was the season 2 opening) strong implying that the (good) characters are going to be questioning their allegiances, and it or one of the other songs also included IIRC a line about "killing millions to save billions" (or something like that); that's not something that happens if your enemies are just flat out evil with no redeeming qualities or noble agendas.

Then there's the matter of her calling the Grimm invasion of Vale she orchestrated "horrific"; it's said in the same smug tone she's used the entire series, but one interpretation of it would imply she sees her actions as a Necessary Evil. We also have Roman saying "these people are going to change the world!", which implies a Visionary Villain is in charge of the whole operation.

Then there's the matter of the White Fang joining Cinder's cause; their stated cause would be sympathetic if we'd been shown significant discrimination against Faunus, and still could be if it turns out Vale is a major outlier in that regard, and while Adam was initially coerced into joining up, he seems pretty devoted to the cause at this point. Surprisingly so.

[up][up] Thank you for doing the google for me. So yeah, no Jen Taylor, but it could just be that they got her for the intro, but just couldn't get her often enough to do the voice of such a (presumably) important character, and decided on something else.
