God, I can't wait to see how Salem reacts to the ongoing character arcs over the next few Volumes.
She has been fighting Ozpin for thousands of years. Their relationship is so personal: they were lovers, they were partners, they were parents.
This is her nemesis, her soulmate in a way, they know each better than they know themselves.
And now Ozpin is going to step back and let a teenage girl, a child in her eyes, take over.
She's probably gonna think it's some sort of scheme at first, that he's still pulling strings behind the scenes, but eventually it's going to become clear that Ruby Rose is now in charge of the forces of good, and Ozpin is following her lead.
Imagine the outrage! The shock! The anger! Does this mean so little to Ozpin, after all this time?
And then Ruby starts winning. She starts matching Salem. She starts turning Salem's forces, like Salem has done to Ozpin's time and time again. She inspires stronger loyalty in the people who follow her than Ozpin ever managed.
Imagine Salem realizing after all these years, after millennia of fighting, she's met her match? Her true Nemesis?
The person who might defeat her?
God, it's going to be amazing.
