[up][up] That was more of a group effort but she dealt the killing blow.

It sucks that we only got only 2 fight scenes with JNPR as a team

Maybe, but they're like siblings.

Special sibs that doesn't hook up.

Unless it's anime.

They're more like childhood friends.

On the other topic, Nora has a decent track record against humans.

Where's their blue and white haired counterparts so they can hook up with people exactly like eachother?

[up]That's exactly what they are, not what they're like.

[up][up]These two are just the most obvious...yet they aren't already a couple at their age?

I never understood why anime likes to show incest so much. Is that a common thing in Japan?

Nora and Ren probably grew up together. They might be like siblings but they already outgrown that phase (Or at least Nora did, wink wink)

Crappy haremn leads aside, most people are conditioned to not have romantic feeling for their siblings. If Ren has been seeing Nora as a sister for the majority of his life, it's entirely possible he just can't imagine her as a girlfriend.

Ok, I liked we move past the whole shane deal but...can we talk about the thing he said about the show? like Raven fight with JNRP, Adam having a more prolonge fight with both Blake and Yang and so own? that would be something about the show for once

May have been a bit better than Yang getting one shot, but as long as they still lost...it could've been a good fight.

Until someone in the know releases more information about the changes there isn't much to discuss.

Though Raven's attack seemed like something important.

Raven attacking JNPR honestly doesn't seem like it'd be something that would happen. Maybe like a test or something, but the wording Shane used seemed that Raven would attack JNPR in an attempt to kill them. Like, Qrow implies Raven's ruthless but not that she's evil.

And Blake/Yang having a prolonged fight with Adam would have been cool. I mean, yeah, the Curb-Stomp Battle Adam gives them shows off how dangerous he is, but.... something about it seemed off to me, you know?

Apparently Barb got really depressed after the Shane stuff. She posted a snapchat of her crying with the caption "my reaction to today" or something. Given she's in charge of RT's social media, I feel really bad for her about this.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

[up][up][up]Wel, so far we dont do anything here in this thread more that speculation, now at least he have something.

In the case of Raven, Im wondering if they know what to do with her, the way shane speak seen they want to cut the whole thing, granted I can see why they take her out: having her atacking the group and them Qrow mention her.....erratic way would make her to much of a jerk.

Also If you see the "fight" between Blake and Adam it feel....cut, like something was going to happen but it didnt, it can give more credit ti the idea

@Bsn It felt a little rushed.

Or anything really? tongue

Well he'll have his chances in Volume 4, unless it's the Ruby and Jaune show, with Nora and Ren being mainly background.

Edit: Oops, somehow missed that there was a whole another page of comments. Was about seeing Ren doing palm explosion again.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Yeah, when I read the adam stuff was liked "Monty plz"

Granted is telling that Raven atacking JNRP is "foreshowing things to come" which make me ask a lot about her....

And Jaune killing Phyrra....damn, that would result in some glorious desapair in this thread, I can imagine the saltiness,bitterness and denial....that would be awsome, well such is life, also at least he confirmed that Cinder is indeed, OP to hilarious degree, granted is not madara "so OP is not even funny anymore" but is telling how much the rest of the team have to catch up

It occurs to me that despite Blake's "You had to fight to survive" childhood, she spent most of her White Fang time as a peaceful protester.

I've always taken that comment with a pinch of salt. I interpreted it as Blake using a very real truth of life outside the kingdoms to lie about her background. She wasn't going to admit to the headmaster that she was on the run from a terrorist organisation - at that point, she didn't even know that Ozpin knew she was faunus. So she lied about her back story. And Ozpin humoured her, but clearly didn't believe her.

like Raven fight with JNRP, Adam having a more prolonge fight with both Blake and Yang and so own? that would be something about the show for once

Ignoring Shane's letter as a whole and any reference to reasons for why we didn't see these scenes, I'm going to mention Raven versus JNPR because it meshes with thoughts I've had about Raven, and JNPR anyway. So, let's speculate about stories, and avoid politics.

I've said a few times that I believe Qrow and Raven work for Ozpin the way Hugin and Muninn worked for Odin. I doubt Qrow really knows what Raven does for Ozpin, but I expect her to have the more dangerous, morally questionable work. Also, Ozpin and Qrow discussed Ozpin's assessment of a suitable candidate for Guardian. He settled on Pyrrha but we never him assessing her.

I could easily see Ozpin ordering Raven to attack JNPR for assessment reasons. Killing intent to train up or awaken powers within heros is an anime/manga staple. Ozpin could be assessing a future Maiden, testing Jaune's hidden abilities, or because he knows something about that mysterious village in Ren and Nora's background. Hell, with those four in the same team, Raven could be assessing all of them with a single attack.

I believe Ozpin knows Jaune faked his transcripts; he may even be responsible for Jaune getting hold of those transcripts and he may even have had some secret talks with Jaune's parents for all we know. I think Jaune has a special ability; either passed down like Ruby's silver eyes, or an inherited Semblance like Weiss's. It's connected to his sword and shield, which can only manifest their full ability when his Semblance is in use. We know Jaune's Semblance has manifested, but Pyrrha never seemed to know that, so it might be an unusual ability and Raven could have been a stress test.

Raven can still target RNJR easily enough given their situation, and if it's relevant to do so. Qrow told Yang that Raven is dangerous, and usually dialogue like that is a precursor to something deeply controversial happening to the protagonists as if to prove the worst. So, I've been expecting something to happen regarding Raven.

Toss in things like Yang's furtive backwards glance towards Emerald and Mercury which still needs explaining and the hints in her conversation with Qrow that she wasn't sure if she was going insane from things like seeing her mother, and I've been thinking that we haven't seen more from the Stinger because - if it's a dream - Yang might not realise it's anything important. Yet.
