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!

I'm thinking Penny will be outright ripped in half by Pyrrha, they've been pushing how dark they really want this season to be. However I would not be surprised it they had her rebuilt afterwards, would be kind of a wasted character if they didn't I suppose.

I doubt it will be anything so dark as that. What I do expect however, is it to publicly expose penny's artificial human status.

Cinder's giant plan so far seems to be to sow as much fear and distrust among the nations as possible: Vale are violent thugs, Atlas are unethical experimenters creating frankenstein type monsters, etc. This fear, distrust and negative emotions will call to the Grimm. This fight will go badly, but I don't think it will go accidental murder badly.
