Did Volume 3 save Yang, or does she still have "I'm the member of Team RWBY that's going to die" written all over her?

formatting, dude. Wall of text hurts.

He says, at the beginning of a wall of text. I used small quotes to more easily reply to - it's simple, it gets the point across, and there's no confusion as to what I'm talking about. Meanwhile, you have a monster.

Stating the obvious and repeating a fact put for by the CRWBY peeps, repeatedly is not being a dick, nor is it being an arsehole. It's stating fact.

Theoretically speaking, if you were being an asshole and I said you were an asshole, that'd be stating a fact. That does not excuse me to call you an asshole, however, just like you stating a fact does not excuse you to be a dick.

Yes, she was framed, but her confidence in combat is still there. She believes she can win, and being kicked out of the tournament provides added motivation to prove everyone who doubted her wrong. This false-sense of security is a big downfall.

How do you know her confidence was still intact? How do you know she believes she can win? How do you know that being kicked out provides added motivation? You're talking, as they say, out of your ass. Nothing indicates to us that Yang has a sense of security about the situation. The entire time we see her in Battle of Beacon and Heroes and Monsters, she's anything but secure. She's constantly worried about Ruby and then Blake.

Her semblance requires emotion and taking hits, yeah? She doesn't have to be close to her opponent to activate it. In saying this, rule no.1 of any form of martial arts is not to lose your cool. The minute you lose your cool, you lose the fight. Yes, there was an added amount of stress, but that could have easily been negated by walking up and challenging Adam. Remember, he isn't a stable individual, 'wants to destroy' everything Blake loves and I have no doubt would have taken up the challenge. "If she didn't charge in..." I'd use the statement conflict resolution, but nothing would ever be resolved. Conflict distraction to keep the enemy occupied? This absolutely exists. There is a reason why some people can talk absolute nutjobs out of killing or maiming someone. This would have been Yang's best shot regarding keeping both her and Blake safe.

All of this is you talking about thinking through the situation. There is no thinking through the situation. She had literally zero time to think. Was it ideal? No. Could anyone have done better? No.

As for your next—actually, no. Responding to this hypocritical, non sensical wall of text is not something I want to spend my day doing.
