FightSceneFailure entry:
** Volume 8 has the battle between Yang, Ren, Juane, versus the Hound. At first, they are shocked that the Hound is intelligent enough to use Oscar as a human shield, which makes it difficult for them to attack it. However, considering they outnumber the Hound 3 to 1, they can easily surround it and attack from multiple sides. Instead, they keep attacking the Hound one by one and getting thwarted. And even worse, when the Hound begins to evolve to grow its wings, it simply stands there doing nothing with Oscar at its feet and it doesn\'t occur to any of the heroes to attack the Hound while it\'s vulnerable or even attempt to rescue Oscar while he\'s out of its grasp. It makes the entire battle appear as a contrivance for Oscar to be captured by Salem.

This entry is currently written as complaining about something that fans don\'t like, and it misrepresents the scene to make its point.

For example: it was already established that Yang\'s group didn\'t have anything in their arsenal that could affect the Hound -- blades and bullets weren\'t injuring it or slowing it down. It also behaved so human that they couldn\'t mentally process what they were dealing with. Once they did give chase, they successfully caught up to it and even slowed it down. The reason they lost Oscar to the Hound was not them freezing up at the beginning, it was Jaune and Yang falling over a cliff, which forced Ren to sacrifice Oscar to save them.

The entry is therefore incorrect to claim they were standing around when it was vulnerable (the show had already shown us that it shrugged off bullets and blades), and it\'s incorrect about the event that cost them Oscar.

Later on, Ruby\'s group uses similar tactics that Yang\'s group used and also fail to harm it. It\'s only killed while completing its regeneration after being damaged by Ruby\'s silver eyes. The only time it was ever vulnerable was through the use of silver eyes.
