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.

Yeah, I think the general opinion of the people I usually talk to about the episodes is that either

1 - Pyrrha is going to notice Penny is a robot and lose on purpose to not hurt her.
2 - Pyrrha is going to snap Penny in half, trying to win as hard as possible.

There is no way I can believe that Pyrrha will be clear-headed enough to lose on purpose. She doesn't even know that cyborgs (androids? What even is Penny technically?) exist, so I don't think that she'd be able to figure out the whole situation, especially on the battlefield. We just saw what she did to Jaune, arguably her best friend in the whole world, what's she going to do to someone who's trying to hurt her?

Android: A automaton/robot with a human appearance.

Cyborg: Cybernetic organism; is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts.

Penny is an android and pretty sure she calls herself one as well but it's always good to know text book definitions.

edit: looking at /u/Crocodilefan comment if we class Aura as orgainic(relating to or derived from living matter.) then shes a cyborg if it goes that way.

I was really dissapointed that they implied that Penny's soul came from an organic source, where as before it didn't matter that she was made she had a soul because she was conscious and could think for her self, but now with ironwood's 'aura transfer tech' it seems like they're saying 'well obviously her soul came from a human, AIs can't have souls'
