@Nocturne: Pretty sure this volume only has twelve episodes. I've watched the first five. Close enough.

And from the brief segments I've seen of the next few, especially the endgame... things look kinda stupid. Like, episode 2 stupid. I had to actually try not to wince at Jaune's voiceacting.

And I'm pretty sure Ruby does not "always" have a plan. She directed the team for the Nevermore fight and stopping Torchwick's mech, but that sort of analytical side to her never really meshed well with her personality, and outside of those two fights she really doesn't feel like she's doing much to earn her leadership title (although she certainly does better than Jaune). Hell, she's even the reason Vale took a Grimm train to the face in the last volume.

I dunno. Maybe she gets some actual focus in the next couple episodes? Like, actual episodes about her, developing her in general? Please say yes. I really want to have that entire paragraph I just wrote be for nothing.

Not really, wasn't it that the train was going to go there anyway, just later, in time for the festival?

That'd be Torchwick.

If anything, it's Oobleck's fault for not racing to the front of the train.

Yeah, the plan went off earlier than expected.

I should note that Nora and Ren are with Yang and Blake in the trailer. So, they could help.

If she hadn't wandered into Team Torchwick's hideout on her own and promptly gotten herself captured, he wouldn't have started the train early.

[up][up]But it still was going to start later anyway.Possibly at a worse time.

As for leadership.Thats probably because outside the fights the team becomes noting more that a group of teenagers hanging-out.

You know, with me joking at how Yang is very likely to become RWBY's equivalent of Edward Elric, I wonder what would happen if the Elrics wound up in Remnant.

Weiss would probably call Ed a pipsqueak, Ed would have the hots for Yang, and Ruby would wonder why Al isn't the Full Metal Alchemist.

So because she managed to make the bad guys spring their plan early rather than when it was supposed to and presumably would've been way more effective, it was her fault? Yeah, that sounds logical.

Yang: I may fall,
but not like this
it won't be-
Adam: Bye, your hand

Damn, Youtube comments.

Also, I thought there would be more shippers freaking out about Blake taking Yangs' hand.

Does Neo flee because it was Raven, or is it the sword? Is it Adam's Semblance that cuts through Aura, or his sword? Does Blush also have an Aura negating effect as well?

I'm still gunning for Adam's sword being made of Hihi'irokane. Or Remnant's equivalent. I'm also liking the idea that it is cursed in some way.

I'm going to bet it's the sword, more collusive that way. Not a cursed sword though, no.

Let's face it, giving Adam "f'ck the Aura police" as a Semblance would be too predictable. Making Neo scared of Raven, the secret government agent, solely through physical appearance? I mean, it adds to Raven's cred, but I don't like the sound of it.

.wild mass guessThe red sword is the mark of a warrior who has killed a lot of people. Seriously, you don't carry that kind of steel with you unless you are god's gift to blades. Raven has one because reasons - the moment Neo sees it, she knows to get the hell out of dodge because the person holding it is a bad mother. Adam killed the previous wielder of his sword.

Even if it's not that exactly, I'd rather it mainly be the swords. Guessing Semblances is getting a little tired, Plus, Adam has that "charge-up" attack from the Black trailer.

[up] If the red swords are Evil Weapons with a tendency to influence the minds of their wielders, that would also explain a lot about Raven.

Or... you know.

Raven is an ultra-bitch because she Took a Level in Jerkass after Yang was born for reasons unknown.

I always figured Yang was the result of an unplanned pregnancy, and Raven never intended to settle down with Taiyang. These things happen.

I'm for Adam's sword being cursed as in "eagerly wants to slice whatever it touches" and not "you will do as I say" cursed.

Also, Winry Rockbell goes to Atlas. Imagine it.
