This is one of my favorite episodes now. The identity and transformation conversation is very interesting. The one line I appreciated most in this episode was when Ruby went through her internal conflict and she gradually accepted Blake's worldview: 'Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.' They were literally parallel characters - they developed/deteriorated in parallel to each other. It's beautiful and incredibly rewarding, having all the set ups from Volume 1 pay off. Same with the foreshadowing of Ruby's deteriorating mental state after the Beacon arc. What a masterpiece, with such a sad and emotional moment.

Absolutely fantastic anime that has left a lasting impression on me. RWBY is an anime that stands firm in the testimony of time just for its art style and unique story alone. The show's narrative, world-building and power systems are stellar; it is very straightforward to understand and get hooked into. It has some of the finest fight scenes in all anime; the opening, ending, and songs are fantastic. The characters are very well developed, all with a genuine depth of mindset. This is a must-watch show for anyone that likes high fantasy, action-packed, and heartfelt moments with absolutely no filler.
