"This is up-there among some of my favourite rwby episodes, improving on many of my liking's from Episode 2, whilst giving me the style-of-scene I was hoping for, for Episode 3.The teams overwhelming praise aside (Excluding pair 'Thunder Thighs" of course), the evaluations of the Ace-ops & their dynamics in comparison to our hero's possibly sowed the seeds for some interesting plots points going forward, but it should be remembered that unlike RWBY/JNPR the Ops aren't a team brought together from training, their just an amalgamation of pro-huntsmen, not students living the learning to love each other, just professionals in their fields, with no prior experience together before Ironwood called them to action seemingly (Likely excluding Elm & Vine due to their inspiration & parallels to Renora). Whilst many will hate Jacque, others Love to hate Jacque, I thoroughly appreciate his role, performance & appearance this episode. I love the drama he creates, whilst he is scum, he does just want to run his business which you can't hate the man for that. One thing many will hate him for regardless is his guilt trip towards Weiss... Now yes there was no need & it was petty and messed up, but probably not a lie. I'm sure ""Willow"" was devastated & I'm curious to see if this mention will be expanded upon later. Blake & Yang after there experiences with Adam & his naive manipulation attempts, Raven & White fang history, Blake particularly steps up for Weiss or like Ruby perhaps they just stand by her side defending there fellow 'family member'.Having mentioned Adam, I thought I've had after seeing this episode, [These are just my thoughts, please don't take an action of fiction to heart] Adam to me never seemed like an intentional/aware manipulator, more just a naive man that didn't realize & couldn't comprehend that what he was doing to Blake was wrong, not that he would necessarily care, nor does it make any less wrong, just comparing Adam here to Jacque, that whilst it was far less harmful, Jacque's manipulation here was much more deliberate, petty & with malice, Thats my interpretation is all.The graduation was such a satisfying scene in ever aspect, more so because it caught me so of guard, Its something that deserved to happen for our heroes, yet was so trival to them, re-establishing there motivations from then-to-now, from Fighting Grimm to Fighting Salem. Also Penny / Winter is the new best pair, I never knew I wanted xD But More Pls. The Slice-of-life along with Slice-of-cake is more akin to the stuff I love in this show, especially this season. Full of fun & charming interactions, especially with Ruby's self-evaluation and comparison to Oz & talk she had with Qrow. Leading to her curiosity once again getting the best out of her, asking the question 'Was Oz responsible for her Mom's disappearance?" Qrow implication being... no, Summer had her own secrets those days, but he himself isn't totally convinced anymore. I've enjoyed Ruby in this scene more then I have since the beginning of Volume 6 & the middle of Volume 5. Now herself and the rest of the teams using there new position to contemplate taking some side gigs as Huntsmen, whilst the tower gets finished.So happy [again likely unlike most] to see Jacque and Whitley back in the Manor, but with a 3rd un-invited guest, the "Deadman" walking... Watts, the two former associates discussing how their mutual Roadblock in Ironwood... must be... dealt... with.Landing Strategy: Rwby - A5 Graphite Sketch 21cm x 14.5cm
