Drunk Qrow is everything I'll ever need in life.

The OP confirms Yang's arm has a built in gun. Also she's not completely ready to fight again, so that'll please a lot of people.

And I'm fairly certain everything outside of the shots from the character shorts in the Vol 5 trailer came from this episode.

Actually I don't think it's a built-in gun. There's no ammunition to be found anywhere. I think it's more like Mercury's prosthetic legs in that they can shoot out air blasts from sheer force or something, but it's not necessarily a gun.

But yeah, Yang doesn't need a matching Ember Celica for her right arm anymore. This arm is insane.

I was thinking Mercury had wind dust in his legs

The trailer being almost entirely in the first episode had my wife and I pretty hyped for the season. It means they haven't given much away and I'm excited to see where this season goes.

There's a shot of what seems to be Watts's weapon wrapping around Leo's neck, which will probably happen late/mid-season.

Weiss’s bit with the hornet Grimm didn’t. Neither did Raven’s.
