!New Challengers

!!This episode contains examples of:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is likely that the bartender knocking over the glass was a clue to Qrow's Semblance, [[TheJinx an aura of unluckiness]].

* SpoilerOpening: Spoiler closing credits, actually. Qrow's identity isn't revealed until Winter calls him by name in the next episode, obviously set up as a big reveal... except that the closing credits list Vic Mignogna as voicing Qrow Branwen (and not say, Crow Bar patron) in this episode.

It's team JNPR vs. team BRNZ and team SSSN vs. team NDGO.

!! This episode contains examples of:

* CrushBlush: ''Blake'' gets one when Sun smiles at her after the battle with NDGO.

* ElectrifiedBathtub: Non-lethal variant. Neptune dispatches of three members of NDGO by using his weapon's ShockAndAwe feature on the water when the three girls were standing in it.
* FeedItWithFire: Or rather, Feed It With Lightning. Nolan of Team BRNZ tries to shock Nora, [[OhCrap only for her to absorb it and get super-charged]].

* GroinAttack: Poor Scarlet... And this was ''after'' he narrowly avoided getting hit by a shuriken there, ''and'' Neptune asked for them to be avoided.

* HumanShield: Ren immobilizes and grabs a member of Team BRNZ to be this to his own team's sniper.

* KnifeOutline: Scarlet barely avoids a few dozen shuriken landing on him, creating this in the ground near him.

* NinjaRun: How Ren avoids sniper fire without a shield.

* OhCrap: Nora seems to inspire this. When Nolan shocks her only to learn that she can absorb and power up with electricity, you can see him realize how bad a decision that was. Then when Nora is told to attack BRNZ, the leader goes [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "Wait What?!"]].

* SlasherSmile: Nora sports one when told to attack.

--> '''Jaune:''' Uh... ehh... *sighs* Nora, just... hit 'em with the hammer.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Team BRNZ is non-plussed that their opponents informally stopped their fight to have a team meeting.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is likely that the bartender knocking over the glass was a clue to Qrow's semblance, an aura of unluckiness.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Team NDGO overhears Neptune and Sun yelling at each other about Neptune's hydrophobia, then tries to exploit it by standing in the water. Neptune then uses his trident to [[ElectrifiedBathtub electrify the water and all of them]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Neptune's excuse for scrambling up to higher ground to avoid his side's water biome is that this is the last thing the enemy will expect. His opponents are forced to admit that Neptune is right about that.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Subverted by Weiss. She goes from cheering Neptune on to rooting for the enemy the moment he tries flirting with them.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
--> '''Brawnz:''' WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A ''FIGHT!''
--> '''Jaune:''' ''AND'' '''WE'RE''' ''IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION! WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THAT?''

* DidntSeeThatComing: Neptune's excuse for scrambling up to higher ground to avoid his side's water biome is that this is the last thing the enemy will expect.
--> '''Sage:''' NEPTUNE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!\\
'''Neptune:''' OH YOU KNOW, JUST UHH, CLIMBING TO UPPER GROUND!\\
'''Sun:''' ON THE ''ENEMY SIDE?!''\\
'''Neptune:''' [[DidntSeeThatComing THEY WOULD NEVER EXPECT IT!]]\\
'''Gayl:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint He's not wrong.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** Team NDGO overhears Neptune and Sun yelling at each other about Neptune's hydrophobia, then tries to exploit it by standing in the water. Neptune then uses his trident to [[ElectrifiedBathtub electrify the water and all of them]].

* LamePunReaction:
-->'''Port:''' You know what I call that victory?\\
'''Oobleck:''' Shocking?\\
'''Port:''' No, well earned. [[SophisticatedAsHell What you said is stupid.]]

* PunnyName: The name of the bar that Qrow visits: The Crow Bar.

* SmurfettePrinciple: The sniper on team BRNZ is the only female on the team.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Nora is visibly upset when Ren gets shocked by Nolan and immediately goes after him in retaliation. [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend Except Nora insists that Ren and her are just friends]].

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Team JNPR's easiest solution.

--> '''Jaune:''' Uh... ehh... *sighs* Nora, just... hit 'em with a hammer.

--> '''Jaune:''' ''AND'' '''WE'RE''' ''IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION! WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THAT?

* AmazonBrigade: Team NDGO is all female.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Team BRNZ is non-plussed that their opponents informally stopped their fight to have a team meeting.

!Tropes:

-->'''Sun:''' [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Nuts.]]

* ClingyJealousGirl: Played for laughs. Weiss goes from cheering Neptune on to rooting for the enemy the moment he tries flirting with them.
