wild mass guess Salem is secretly summer after snorting a extremely large amount of dust. Her current appearance is a result of that dust she snorted.

wild mass guess Cinder is Summer from when she first started snorting Dust. Salem is just her future self travelled to the present, hence why Cinder is working for her.

You know what's great? The Grimm still aren't threatening. Even after having the odds heavily stacked in their favor at the end of Volume 3, the Hunters managed to reclaim everything except Beacon. The only threatening Grimm so far is the wyvern.

Non-threatening?

If they were, it'd take away from the actually villains of this series.

They're not weapons, they're just an annoyance.

They only seem to be a real threat when there is an endless horde and the are not attacking a heavily defended location.

They are still a threat to the average person with no huntsman training and Atlas grunt robots seem to have trouble also.

I wonder how robots can use guns, which use Dust bullets, when they don't have Aura, which is what Dust needs to work.

Is Dust really the only propellant on Remnant?

Is Dust a renewable resource? Is it made?

A world with literally one power source makes no sense.

Dust is mined, which makes it sound like a mineral. I suspect it's actually a fossil fuel, however.

I also suspect it's running out.

I could be mistaken, but I thought dust rounds did not require the use of aura.

Granted, a world where only a single resource is used is really dumb.

Other resources are probably used, but not to such an extent or by poorer societies, most likely.

That's what Em thinking.

Hopefully it's not much more significantly used than other resources...that's gonna be rough yet temporary time if they ever run out of Duss.

They said that humanity was just about finished off until they discovered how to harness Dust so that's presumably the only power source capable of creating and fueling things to kill Grimm. Whatever they used before it didn't cut it.

And it's not like they have the ability to experiment and look for other sources of energy. They can't even expand their cities without disaster.

They're kind of stuck at the status quo of using Dust.

Okay, now we've finally and actually seen what is most likely a Humanoid Grimm.

So...will we ever see a Humanoid Grimm with Hunter-like weapon?

[up] That rather depends on whether or not Salem is going to be an Orcus on His Throne type of villain.

Regarding dust, wild mass guess Dust is, in fact, the residue left over when one of Salems' people dies. Long ago, Ozpin lead humanity in a war of extermination against Salem's kind, succeeding in killing all but one of them, hence why she despises Ozpin and humans so much.wild mass guess

[up]her tone of voice dosen indicate hate against human, just minor annoying, she is piss at him for SOMETHING and aparenly for lying with the idea they can win

also I dont see Salem as the type who fight

so if Ozpin is Oz, Salem is the wicked witch of the east(and cinder the one of west)....who is dorothy?
