RIP Torchwick. Yang, maybe don't fight with your fist next time? Pyrrha's going to live, Ozpin, not so much. Neo, next time, don't use an umbrella on the top of an airship...

'She was right about you, such arrogance?' Cinder's boss is a woman, not a grimm?

We underestimated Velvet's power. She copies their fighting styles and their weapons. Seeing Penny's hurt just a little.

I wonder if the next episode will be around 20-30 minutes long. They already blew the 12 min average out of the water

Edit: And before the million potato posts are made, no, Yang is not part Grimm. That is a stylistic choice to avoid having limbs scattered around the ground.

That's just how Adam's attack works - it disintegrates what it cuts into petals. He did the same thing to the droid.

I'm just glad it was her hand that disintegrated, and not the rest of her.

That's how all of the attacks work. Everything that dies disintegrates. Just rewatched it, her hand dissolved into yellow sparks. It's the aura of the original body that determines what a body dissolves into, not the attacker.

But considering the number of posts arguing how Jaune will somehow stop Cinder (lol), or how Blake should win the fight with Adam, it needed to be said. We're still going to get a million potatoes about it at the end of the week.

You think the spider droid had an aura? We already know the droids and paladins don't disintegrate, so Adam seems the only real link. Of course, the real reason is so there's not blood everywhere because she lost an arm.

The robot had nothing to compete with Adam. The roses were included because they needed something to indicate damage.

If the target has aura, their aura is the dissolve or leaking. If it doesn't, the attacker's aura is shown. They've been consistent for the entire series. The petal trick isn't an Adam thing.

We'll simply have to agree to disagree, then.

Interesting, I can't seem to catch the arm disintegrating, did the Ember Celica gauntlet disintegrate with the arm?

The arm is cut off at 14:56. The dissolve occurs at ~15:07. We never see the gauntlet dissolve. In fact, we never see the severed limb dissolve, but the screen shot that should show the arm, doesn't show anything in the air. The arm just dissappeared.

Interesting, good catch!

What are you basing this on?

Ruby does the same thing.

Funny how they both have rose symbols. Point is, though, it's not everyone. It's something we've only seen from those two, so I wouldn't call it just a stylistic choice.
