[up] Any particular reason for thinking that beyond assuming Vale is going to be destroyed?

Even if it's not, it'd make a lot of sense to at least hear about Atlas a bit more significantly hereafter because of Ironwood and his forces' significant involvement in the battle. They could easily just off-screen it though.

Torchwick showed some concern for Neo after she got Mary Poppinsed. Makes me wonder, and I'm probably not the only one, wild mass guessNeo is Torchwick's daughter.wild mass guess Or... his ex-wife. surprised

[up][up]Due to some of the thing mentioned, at least Beacon will be destroyed to take down the global communication system. Otherwise they fed us a big, fat, Red Herring.

Neo's been guessed to be pretty much everything and anything to Torchwick save for a simple partner-in-crime. [lol]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I just hope it's something cute like being his daughter. Only if he survives, however. More orphans is never necessary.

.... Neo being Torchwick's daughter does make sense if you look at the height chart, she's shorter than even Nora.

Which would mean Roman is Younger Than He Looks or Neo is Older Than She Looks. Or maybe both, because Torchwick does not look old enough to have a teenaged daughter

But Cinder passes for an exchange student.

Heck, Mercury's dad was an assassin of some renown, and nobody recognized him.

I don't mind Neo's existence primarily because she gave a bit more weight to Torchwick's group, since she seemed to act as his second in command and aid Cinder due to their coalition. I'm kinda curious when she's coming back, since she at least is obviously gonna survive being launched off the airship.

I don't know who suggested everyone was gonna head to Atlas for the next season, but I actually really like that idea. Ironwood has proven to be a solid member of the heroic council so there's reason to believe he'd offer sanctuary to the main characters and others, Weiss has connections, it's the next most explored kingdom in terms of information, we have the whole Penny subplot going on, it'd be a good way to introduce a stronger sense of Faunus racism on a more systematic scale, it'd be the perfect place for Yang to get a new arm, we can see the Schnee Dust Company directly, see how the school works there, and explore the technological advancements of the country possibly leading to weapon upgrades. There's a lot just from what we know that could be explored throughout another season, and it'd be a way to sorta calm things down for a bit before ramping them back up again with Cinder's eventual advancement there.

[up][up]You can be related to someone incredibly well-known, but no one can tell you're related to them, even if you look a lot like them

The question is, will Cinder collect the other Maidens' powers, or is the Man Behind the Man planning on sending three others to collect them?

[up][up][up]A well known assassin might want to keep his son/apprentice secret from others to offer up a tactical advantage. Plus, assassins probably want to be well known to trusted individuals. Nothing screws over an assignment like having everyone gawk at the wold famous assassin buying a cheeseburger for lunch.

[up][up][up]If things do end up quite badly/pyrrhic after the next episode, everyone going to militarism-central would be a pretty logical self-preservation act.

[up][up]I wouldn't really expect an assassin to get renowned in an especially public manner either, because it's goddamn impossible to be one anymore then. It'd be in underworld circles at most.

[up]The Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper beg to differ. You can be incredibly well-known and not have anything known about you, as paradoxical as it may seem.

Maybe everyone knew Marcus Black is an extremely good assassin, but no one knows his appearance?

Doesn't he work for the exact same organization all the time? That fits perfectly for an assassin to get heard of while also managing to stay under largely unseen and "employed".

Dunno if that'd be the case for the late Black.

47 does, until he leaves.

He still remains an assassin though after leaving, so I dunno [lol]

Actually, seeing someone's fanart of Roman and Neo walking it off reminded me of something (because I looked at the tags)

Roman survived a train crash and point-blank explosions. Being eaten isn't anywhere near as bad as that

Furthermore, recall what happened to Yang during the food fight. Falls don't mean shit in this series.

Yang being thrown into the cinderblock support then?

Or how about any of the falls characters have taken that should have been lethal that they survived? Seriously, that launching thing for the first mission realistically, should have killed everyone involved.

Falling isn't lethal in RWBY.

Additionally: Roman was Swallowed Whole, no munching
