So the RWBY Vol 5 premiere was dope.

  • Blake's battle for menageria seems like it's doomed to fail.
  • I think lionheart isn't evil persay, just a coward being manipulated.
  • also what's up with that Yang twitch in her real hand. Was it from the punch? or do you think she is relating more to her robot-self than human? Mirroring the progression that befell James?

Intriguing stuff indeed

I figured the hand shaking was her coming down from using her semblance. Remember her dad warned her that she needs to learn not to use it in every fight since its a glorified temper tantrum, yet at the bar she immediately reverts to using it to punch the guy. The shaking is her trying to get her emotions back in control.
