I wonder if Neo, of all people, is going to have a change of heart?

I mean, Cinder did leave Roman to die.

Random thing I just thought of that would make a comeback from Yang really satisfying: after a bit of timeskip, she gets to Atlas and gets a fancy new robot arm. She has to practice with it to get back to her previous level of skill - maybe with some pointers from Ironwood, so far the only other cyborg seen onscreen, and who most likely has a lot of experience with relearning how to move lost body parts. Cue a rematch with Mercury down the line, who is smart enough to focus on her robot arm to cripple her again... only to find out that during the earlier timeskip, Taiyang taught her how to still fight effectively with just one arm - skills which she uses to destroy Mercury's robot legs and cripple him.

And Nora trained Yang in how to effectively break Merc's legs.

Not really. He was KIA during the plan, she didn't leave him.

Speaking of which, I hope that both Weiss and Ironwood are the ones to snap Yang out. Weiss would be the one to tell they can fix her and Ironwood is the one to show it can be done.

Frankly, I was surprised that Yang wasn't already sporting a robotic arm when we saw her. Between Ironwood and Mercury, they don't seem terribly uncommon. You'd think someone would've at least mentioned the possibility to her by now.

[up]Cost and facilities to install and/or maintain them may be a factor. Ironwood is Atlas military so it's easy to assume his parts' upkeep factors into their budget, while Mercury is a criminal - he could be stealing and/or extorting the parts he needs to fix his.

Wait...

You don't suppose that the reason Cinder wanted Mercury was because of his Silver Eyes?

I wonder why Penny dying didn't trigger Ruby's Silver Eyes? Her death was a lot more gruesome than being disintegrated.

Penny's death looked like an accident, and there was nobody around on whom Ruby could go berserk.

I might be mistaken, but wasn't Ruby tied up trying to get past Mercury at the time?

EDIT: No, she just got past him when that happened; still, she didn't see Penny's ...death... firsthand. Also, even if Ruby can't see Pyrrha's face, she knows quite well that whatever happened down on the arena wasn't intentional.

Cinder, on other hand, was most definitely killing for real, hence, the explosive reaction

You know, there was a bit more slight foreshadowing about Silver Eyes in "This Will Be The Day". To be specific about the part that is foreshadowed, the part that it comes from some ancient, powerful warriors.

So. What about the Papa Schnee?

You know, now that I'm thinking about it, bringing down Yang was probably a good idea. She had been built up as being so ridiculously powerful in the tournament. She was reaching OP-levels by the end, even with Mercury.

Oh, and something else did anyone else think Ruby's Silver Eyes power was done a little quickly? I feel like it would have been better if they lingered on Ruby taking in the event a bit longer. And if they made her outburst last a little bit longer, as well.

I think most of the current dislike for her concerns her killcount.

[up][up][up][up] She is a Base Breaker right now. I would say every Arkos shipper is hating her BIG TIME right now.

The reasoning behind the red herrings would be to make the fndm accept her death... Only to be surprised when the third time it actually is her. Reverse psychology at its finest.

I wasn't an Arkos shipper and I didn't have any affections for Pyrrha. So I was pretty okay with it. Especially since I saw it coming with all the Death Flags.

Though it is nice to see what people think of what REALLY happened to Pyrrha.

I don't hate her as in "she sucks". I am supposed to hate her because she's an evil villain, but that's a role she fills perfectly; a smug schemer that is that much more powerful than most of the protagonists.

She got what she wanted and established herself as an unrepentant murderer. If there was any greater good behind all this, it still doesn't matter to RNJR and everybody interested.
