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.
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.
I'd like to be the first man on the moon.
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.

Penny's death looked like an accident, and there was nobody around on whom Ruby could go berserk.
I'd like to be the first man on the moon.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, 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.

She is a Base Breaker right now. I would say every Arkos shipper is hating her BIG TIME right now.
Also, ouch, your avatar picture just hurted me a little inside

Uni catI 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.

I wonder if Neo, of all people, is going to have a change of heart?
I mean, Cinder did leave Roman to die.
