I doubt the writers thought that far ahead. If that sounds like a dig at them, it's not supposed to, it's just an observation that often applies to situations like this.

I'm going Occam's razor on this one. Qrow doesn't like Ironwood and Winter, but that doesn't mean he mistrusts them. Compromised can mean that he was taken out of commision, not necessarily turned coat. And Qroe only saw team Evil for a second when saving Amber, so I don't fault him for not recognizing them in a different context where they just look like three normal students. Well, two normal students and a cougar.

Didn't RT say that Monty Oum left notes and outlines for eight seasons? Something like "Qrow is a secret traitor" would be a pretty big f*cking deal and would probably be included in the notes if, say, he's supposed to be the villain of Season 6 or somesuch.

"They haven't thought that far ahead" doesn't seem to apply when we know they have a set of guidelines for seasons to come. They're free to adjust it as needed, but a plan does exist.

[up][up] Well that's a spiffy look she's got there. Seems like she'll be back up to speed in this very volume yet.

Also, gotta hand it to her, she's not letting this handicap deter her too much.

@Tobias: Problem is compromised in that context doesn't mean "turned traitor". Compromised in that context means "found on stealth operation/killed".

Also Qrow's been hypercritical and spiteful towards Ironwood and Winter all season because he's anti-military. To use tabletop terms, Qrow is Chaotic on the Law/Chaos axis (and in all likelyhood Chaotic Good to Ironwood's Lawful Good). However, he knows Ironwood is a good man at heart and wants to do the right thing, even if he goes about it the wrong way (in Qrow's eyes). Randomly making all your robots start attacking everyone isn't something that would make sense for Ironwood.

And again: The flashback showed that Cinder's face was obscured by something whether it was the Maiden powers, or Qrow's booze, we don't know. But we do know that Qrow didn't properly see Cinder when he fought her.

Sorry for being late to the party, but I just woke up a little while ago and saw all this now [lol]

[up][up][up][up]That's...not a look I was expecting. I mean, it's cool and all, but I was actually looking forward to Yang in baggy pants.

So I guess we'll see Yang back in action relatively early in Volume 4. That's...ok, I guess?

I hope it won't be too soon. Relegating her dealing with her depression to an off-screen land is probably the worst way they could go about it.

Dang, that's a cool look on Punished Yang there. Especially digging the bronze cap on the stub, that's not something you see often. The split coattails are appropriately impractical.

Why are they impractical? I've seen plenty of coats with that design, and they're functional.

[up] I'm thinking they meant impractical for fighting.

On a different note; it looks like Gambol Shroud has been redesigned — I don't see the gun part any more, or perhaps the gun barrel becomes part of the sword now.

I'm not really digging the split coattails. Even if you discount the impracticality of fighting in it, I'm not sure what the point of the split is beyond ensuring the audience can still see her ass through the coat.

You know what else is impractical for fighting?

A cape. It's long, flowing and can get gr- Oh wait, that happened several times and yet no one complained about Ruby's choice of outfit.

Actually, looking at the picture of Yang again: That's doesn't look like a coat.

Those flaps are coming from her belt.

We have three days before the release of V4 trailer.

Now I'm really hoping for JNR official redesign artworks. Please RT?

Which is why I discounted the impracticality, but the point remains that the split seems to serve no purpose but to ensure that the audience still has a clear, unimpeded view of Yang's ass despite the loose, flowing clothing she's wearing around it.

It's an ass window. That's dumb.

Eh, after Emerald's outfit my standards for normality in RWBY outfits kinda dropped.

You would still have a good look of the butt with or without those flaps. With flaps, at least you get extra style points for fluttering cloth. >.>

Actually, now that I think of it: Yang's outfit kind of gives me an old-school cowboy vibe. And the flaps that may or may not be from a coat are like the duster's long flaps, which had a split down the center.

Yang's is just more stylized (and ass-tastic)

Though it does fit the character.The two previous outfits were designed to put focus on her chest after all.

Yang seem to like showing herself off .So..I guess this is her after she's returned to a state of badassaery
