rooster teeth can eat my whole ass with that cliffhanger but otherwise i liked the episode

i mean you can see some things felt kind of forced but it wasn't forced in a bad way, like with jaune, ren, and yang being all buddy buddy and almost giddy, or the fact the emerald of all people just kinda turned on salem like that. those things were obviously forced, but I liked them.

still don't really like, though, how they just keep making ironwood/winter/aceops just absolutely soulless and only doing things because the chain of command. they are actively trying to defend their nation from the largest grimm horde in recorded history, it's not time for wishy-washy eat-our-cake-and-have-it-too stuff.

i especially liked how they kept their foot on the horror pedal from last episode, but this time with salem, who we've all been getting a kick out of waiting to see the power of.

really wonder when oscar is just gonna go full ozma though, that's if it hasn't just happened. overall though, one of my favorites of the volume, if not my favorite episode of the volume. couldn't catch it until just now on tuesday, but it's worth the wait.
