She's not that good in an actual fight either, apparently.

I'll say she's black because it makes me feel.
Also Bland street rat, that's also important.

"Blake" would be chasing death, which makes sense...Emmy is evil, Evil = Death.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Did I seriously just read this chain of comments?
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!It still implied that. It showed us she could throw multiple attacks at him simultaneously and he could easily block every single one - in fact, not only did he block every single one, he shattered every single one to dust - or sand, depending on whether or not it was glass (I like to think it's obsidian - that whole volcanic theme she has going on has a volcanic glass to fit it).
Really, that scene was for the audience, not Cinder. It gives us a Matrix moment to give it a sort of "super-speed" vibe - which doesn't really work on this fandom because everyone speculated Ozpin was connected to time manipulation from the very beginning so automatically assumed he was time distorting instead of super-speeding when this scene happened.
I did notice that a large part of their fight happened several feet off the ground. We know Cinder can defy gravity (or she can since becoming the full Fall Maiden, that is). However, Ozpin seems able to do it as well. It was just done with him in a much more downplayed way.
The major theory is that the plague was caused by oriental flea species infecting black rats, and that the plague wiped out the European rat populations as well as human populations, which is why it didn't remain established in Europe and was reintroduced multiple times.
There are problems with the theory. There are other theories. There is no universally uncontroversial theory. It's still considered an unsolved mystery. However, rats do indirectly and directly transmit plenty of diseases.
Fun aside. The plague is believed to be the reason why modern north-western Europe lost the same cultural obsession with public baths that countries such as Japan still have. Leading Christian clergy used the plague to make public bathing illegal and strongly discourage communal private bathing - a decision that ended up helping increase the severity and spread of the plague. This is also an established, but not universally uncontroversial, theory.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.So many shipping jokes in the subtitles of Episode 10 this week.
Schneekos confirmed!
Renora officially more canon than canon!
And Zwei is officially the cutest thing in the universe (but Weiss is now totally over Ruby after that painting).
Oh, and the reason Weiss had two scrolls at the beginning is in case Jaune goes on another scroll-smashing spree. Or because she just needed to send that many tweets. It could go either way...

If a character in this series had a semblance similar to the Return By Death Ability, how would it go for him/her?

Watch SymphogearIt's the exact same dialogue...except they left out the bit about world domination.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

In direct combat it's not all that useful because it takes serious concentration. When fighting Amber the best she could manage was make them occasionally flicker. Against Coco she had to drop the illusion to actually hit her.
It was good for what they needed it for, to trick people who didn't know she was there and what she could do, but it's not that helpful in an actual fight.
