Only 13 minutes. I can accept this honestly, given the last episode was 26 minutes, and this is really just an aftermath chapter.
Poor Oscar. I know Qrow is angry, and rightfully so, but can we not take it out on the innocent boy who didn’t ask to be possessed?
I sincerely hope they don’t take their anger out on him, because it looks from the intro like Jaune very well might.
But wow, Qrow got further character depth and a bit of development. I’m happy they solidified he joined Oz’s cause because he needed a sense of purpose. We needed that in Volume 5.
Jeremy thought that Qrow might be kidnapped by Salem, which might prove good for the heroes if his bad luck Semblance kicks in around them.
However, he went a step further and suggested Qrow might turn to Salem’s side out of resentment for Oz and need of purpose. I don’t think he genuinely would want to given these guys likely murdered Summer and presumably tried to murder Ruby, but it’s possible. Just look at Hazel.
Or what if he joins Salem as a double agent in hopes his Semblance would stop her? Ooh, that’d be cool. It’d hurt me deeply inside but it’d be cool.
GOD BLESS YOU, GRANDMA CALAVERA. PUT THOSE BITCHES IN THEIR PLACE.
We at long last get to see Salem’s castle. Just kidding, we get to see the basic-ass landing strip and a basic-ass entrance. Oh well. It’s something. Interesting it seems to be based of dark crystals, though.
Tyrian’s back and damn he is still a psycho. Him cutting himself on Emerald’s weapon… ew. Just… ew.
I live for Mercury backing Emerald up. Coworkers that kinda hated each other turned best buds desperately trying to survive the hellscape.
Salem is now terrifying and actually threatening. She flips a table, summons the hands of imp Grimms to nearly strangle Hazel, and then derpily screams breaking all her nice-ass windows. Same, Salem. Same.
Interesting her next target was Shade Academy though. Yes it’s less fortified than Atlas, but I thought that was why it was going to be left for last. Atlas is so stressed and obsessed with strength it’d be easy to take them down from the inside.
When I saw the farm, I legitimately went “Oh no… NOT ANOTHER HOUSE.” But no seriously please don’t spend the next seven chapters chilling in this fucking farm please.
Though interesting it’s called Brunswick Farms. I wonder if it’s somehow related to a certain Mr. Torchwick. If Neo comes back, we might get to see her and Roman’s backstories. Given Mistral has a huge black market, perhaps Roman had his start on Anima.
Though it might also remind Oscar of home. Perhaps we’ll at long last see the decisive moment he left home and confronted his nameless, faceless, aunt?
$10 this fucking farm is haunted / home to some nasty Grimm.
