By the way Bagel, there is another character short with volume 6 for Adam. Even though you don't like Adam, I'd say it is important watch as it gives further backstory for him, Blake and the Whitefang.

If I remember rightly the Weiss X Yang ship name is FreezerBurn

Black Sun (the ship name for Blake and Sun) shippers have had a bitter rivalry with Bumbleby (Blake and Yang) shippers in the fandom for years. Some people get really passionate about it. Personally, I'm a Bumbleby shipper. I see Sun as a friend and kind of brother to Blake rather than a romantic interest. Also yes, Blake did give him a quick kiss on the cheek before they left.

I wouldn't say Blake's trying to fix the way everyone sees her, it's more her trying to fix her relationship with Yang specifically. She still blames herself for what happened to Yang and Yang still has complicated feelings towards Blake

That song is called Miracle, it's not the intro song tho.

Officially, the grimm on the train are called manticores, and the snake tailed grimm is a sphinx

The animation didn't completely change from volume 5 to 6 the same way it completely changed from 3 to 4, but yes they did do some minor improvements to the engine for this volume. Mostly though the thing is they just have more budget this volume. Also I know someone else told you already, but definitely watch the Adam short before you continue this volume! It's the final character short they made and it's definitely worth watching before you go any further as it was actually released and takes place before this episode. Looking forward to the rest of your reactions for this volume though! It's my favourite one.

Yeah it was pretty intense back in the day. One BlackSun shipper went to far as to create fanart of Blake and Yang, mutilated and sent that pic to the voice actresses Arryn (Blake) and Barbara (Yang). This is why we Bumbleby shippers have been on defense all these years because of the harassment that took place in the early days. And the huge amount of homophobia back then that, sadly haven't left this fandom completely. The amount of death threats back then was horrendous.

This volume aside from getting the relic to Atlas, is also about repairing relationships and dealing with trust issues. Blake and Yang for instance is one set of that. Blake still holds immense guilt for running away even after learning from Yang herself (back in Volume 2), that Yang has abandonment issues. So this is the part where Yang's Goldilocks allusion takes precedence in the her story development. After the Fall of Beacon, Yang's temperament was TOO HOT. Now that Blake is back, her temperament is TOO COLD. Her development journey was always about being JUST RIGHT (If you're familiar with the triad of metaphors from the story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.) As for Blake's story arc, not sure if you were informed but Blake's allusion is Beauty and the Beast. In fact her story arc borrows some of the story beats from Beauty and the Beast (the Disney version). As for Sun, his role in Blake's story is the equivalent of "Chip." Not sure if you remember but Chip is the one that "Stows away in Belle's bag in order to bring her back to the castle." Sun "stowed away in a boat in order to motivate Blake to go back to her team." So yeah, as his role as a "Chip" he's not necessarily meant to be a romantic interest (more like a Red Herring) but Mile Luna (the writer) did intentionally develop Blake into a "Belle" who has different people interested in her because of her beauty [Which is how we got (Adam (formerly), Yang, Ilia and Sun as people who are interested]. But for a hint to Blake's allusion and Yang's intertwining story, there's the song "Red like Roses" which is Ruby's theme song from the Red Trailer and it talks about her team but when it goes down to Blake and Yang, it describes them as this: (Excerpt lyrics from "Red like Roses") "Black the beast descends from shadows Yellow beauty burns Gold"

Oh, Blake and Ilia's shipname? It's Catmeleon. There's a RWBY shipname chart somewhere online and it's basically an EXCEL spreadsheet. But yeah ship anyone you want. The only parts of this RWBY fandom that take shipping to the extreme are the mentally unwell people who send death threats and they're usually either misogynists and/or homophobes (which was a problem we had in the early and mid days of the franchise...though they still exist to a degree). But whether something ends up canon or not, just ship who you want. We can all co-exist peacefully as a fandom if people didn't project their own personal issues into it. But you're completely fine so ship whoever you want.

I’ve never quite understood how people can get so defensive over fictional relationships of fictional characters in a show or story like the RWBY fandom can. Me personally, when this episode released I was strong on the idea of BlackSun. I thought they just had a bit more chemistry at the time than the Bumbleby pairing (as of the following seasons this belief changed). However, the idea of sending death threats over it is just unfathomable and wild to me.

Was sick, so I didn't get the chance to comment sooner. Only reason I mentioned being careful about ships was because the vtuber AliciaxDeath got harassed for shipping Blake and Sun, causing her to stop her RWBY reactions. It was a really stupid situation. But I agree that Black Sun is a good ship. Weiss x Yang (Freezerburn) is good too. Though I still say Ruby x Weiss (White Rose) is my favorite.
