Cordo isn't a Mantle citizen, the guards at the base aren't Mantle citizens, they're all from Atlas, who everyone else in the world are already uneasy of because of Ironwoods robots turning against Vale, Nora, Ren and Jaune explained in an earlier episode that the military of Argus city are all from Atlas and helped Mantle civilians to colonise the area.

So fun~ The loss of Bumblebee (the bike) for the ship Bumblebee (Yang Blake = Bumblebee).
Also Adams scar says SDC = Schnee Dust Company

I'm so mad that they gave Adam, a character that I absolutely despise, one of the coolest fighting styles in the show. Like, the guy is a POS, but he's got moves. Also, I love how Yang has learned to control her Semblance so that, instead of using it during the whole fight and send back damage at a regular pace but with less power, she stores everything up until she can deal a massive blow. It allows her to keep her aura active longer, so she can last longer in the fight.

The fight scenes in this season and onward are back to Pre volume 3 levels imho and are just so damn cool. Doesnt feel nearly as floaty and its got its momentum back. I like the plot as a narrative, but the character writing drags it down for me. Cordovin as a stuck up old bitch who is unhelpful is great, cordovin randomly going off the deep end and pulling out a superweapon to murder children is less great. The team feeling betrayed by Ozpin is great, Ruby then placing all of those feelings on every other authority figure or mentor and refusing to see alternatives is less great.
Honestly, the second half of this season is kind of contrived, as they were given a perfectly valid choice with "send Weiss to atlas, have her send someone to pick them up", but nope, let's jump straight to "antagonize the military of the country we are trying to get to, commit grand theft fighter jet, disable the radar that protects the city, and fight the giant robot instead of just leaving and figuring out a new plan"
Of course, there still needs to be a conflict, and it could have been great even keeping the same characters with the same premise, but the out of left field, nuclear option decisions dont make a whole lot of sense.

I absolutely hate this way of thinking. I like Blacksun and Bumblebee about equally, but I think it's ridiculous to say that something "flies in the face of the already set up ship" like a person can't be attracted to multiple people but only enter a relationship with one, or that when it happens, they're obligated to be with the one they were attracted to first. Blake and Sun COULD have ended up together, but they didn't, and that happens in real life, too. As far as I am ware, a lot of people on the crew have said that Bumblebee was intended for a long time, and I'm inclined to believe them. They got shipping moments, too. This has absolutely not "come out of nowhere."

Ep. 12 was the episode that actually made me ship Blake and Yang. Like I had never disliked the ship before it, but I never bought it as being a thing. However, after this episode, and how they shared that moment with each other after the fight, I felt it. I knew it was meant to be.

Now that the bitch is dead I get to say some of the stupid shit Adam defenders were on. Some of them said that Blake slapping sun in volume 4 was the equivalent to Adam STABBING HER and criticized her for it. Adam fans are butthurt to this day that he's dead even though his abusive red flags could make a parade.

It’s amazing how toxic the FNDM was. In retrospect it’s clear to see how a lot of the hate the show gets is due to misogyny, and hate for LGBTQ like coco, or even jaune’s sister.

Some important things to note about this fight, Monty actually had a hand in it. Apparently there were originally plans to have an extended fight back in volume 3 when Adam cut Yang's arm off, and a lot of the stuff Adam does in this fight were from that unfinished animation. I think some clips of it leaked a while back. Now its also very important to note that as far as we can tell, the vast majority of the Blake and Yang vs Adam fight was done by the new animators. I just thought it was cool that this fight, which imo is probably the best in the whole show, is the collective effort of both Monty and the new team. I might be wrong about some of this stuff since its been years since this came out tho.

My love for the unique way they animate and choreograph Adam’s fighting style is cancelled out by his personality’s innate lack of likability after he murdered a bunch of White Fang members to sit in a chair for a while and become a stalker ex. He isn’t even fun to hate honestly.When he asked “What does she even see in you?!”, my first thought was “redeeming qualities”.

What atracted the Grimm is the mass panic the city had when seeing a giant Robot walk out of their Military base for unkown reasons
Cordovan, by using the robot for somthing so petty, caused unessecary panic and brough the Grimm to the city. This is litterally her fault for not only causing the panic but endagering the only tool they had against large grimm that come from the ocean depths. What's great is they set this up one episode earlier with Jaune saying "This thing is clearly designed to fight giant grimm that come from the ocean". This show does forshadowing great!

Blake and Yang vs Adam is quite literally one of my favorite fight scenes from RWBY. It feels so well choreographed and the genuine emotion and desperation during it feels so good.
Adam feeling jealous of Yangs closeness to Blake is also really significant here. He saw her as a threat to his relationship and essential "ownership" of Blake, and wanted to kill her to not only prevent Yang frpm "stealing her away", but also to punish Blake, who clearly cares for Yang (be it platonic or romantic)
So excited for when you guys get to 7 and 8, They're def some of my favorite seasons.

I wonder why so many reactors (at least the ones I've watched) struggle with reading Adam's scar as SDC, I read it just fine the first time, and within the context of the show and Adam's history, it's the only thing that makes sense. I guess if you can only read the S clearly, it might be a bit difficult to figure out SDC, but if you get at least two out of the three letters, I'd think it'd be fairly easy to fill in the gap.

I think it's cause the D in SDC with that font looks kind of like an O and also because a lot of people kind of don't think about the Schnee Dust Company regularly, I think also because a lot forget about the lore between faunus and the SDC.
