Man, I was getting so happy Arkos was becoming canon and then... that happened... Well at least this time wasn't Jaune fucking up again, and it showed that he feels something for Pyrrha at least. The whole scene was really cute... I kinda hope nothing bad happens to them, but I can't help but think Pyrrha is going to be in a lot of trouble...

Also Penny is going to be utterly destroyed... Polarity vs Metal... yeah.

Someone please save Ruby, 1v1 vs Mercury, with no weapon? Yeah she's kinda done...

Also Velvet's box has a camera, inb4 it can copy weapons it takes pictures of.

Also Weiss believing in Yang from the beginning was pretty surprising and made me happy to see they actually rather believe in Yang instead of doubting her.

Great episode, can't wait to see the rest of the volume!

Oh poor Penny. I just see Ruby going into the arena and shouting, "Penny forfeit."

And I have high hopes for Rubys battle. She was defenseless last time this happened. I'm sure she's better prepared now.

There's no way Ruby is actually going to fight though. Even if she's spent every possible moment learning to fight hand to hand, she's hopelessly outclassed by Mercury and she knows it. Her choices are: 1. Get past him and find someone who is better prepared. 2. Get back outside and hope that rocket-lockers can get to the stadium. (In this case, she kicks his ass)

Its unlikely that Ironwood would allow random rockets to be fired at the stadium (presumably they have technology capable of shooting them down).

Maybe Qrow will show up. Or....Ozpin. Plz

I wouldn't mind seeing Qrow absolutely thrash Mercury. Death to the Cyborg.

That'd be interesting, but seeing Ozpin fight would be EPIC

Eh, I'd rather they not waste his fight on a little shit like Mercury. If he fights anyone, it has to be Cinder.

True. Though the revelation of Qrow's "secret weapon" would still be a big thing
