That seems very likely in season four, given that Ruby sets off for Haven with them.

Volume 4: Character Development for Ruby, Ren and Nora.

Because despite being one of the title characters Ruby seems to have gotten the short end of the stick in terms of Character Development in her team. Hell, Jaune's the leader of the Deuteragonist team and he had more than her [lol]

The reason Juane and Pyrrha got the focus they did was because Pyrrha was planned to die from the start and they wanted to establish their relationship and make someone die who had alot of focus.

If it was, say Ren or Nora that was going to die Vol 3 they'd have gotten the focus instead.

Which of course will now breed paranoia that anytime anyone is getting focus it means they're death is coming up.

Meanwhile Ruby was ignored because, well as the MC she's never gonna die (at least not until the very end of the story) or otherwise be sidelined so they gave focus to the people that needed it before the setting broke apart.

I kinda like Ren, so i guess a little spotlight won't hurt him. Plus, i like his new voice better.

It would'vs been kind of unfortunate if Ren died in vol. 3

I think that unless Monty specifically planned out Ren's death ahead of time, then Ren is effectively immortal now. They'll never kill him off if they have to pick a character to sacrifice because it would like Monty dying again.

You keeps your main character bland so that they can forever be...the?

Well usually that's the case because they help other characters with their development, but that's not happening here.

So maybe, Rewby will forever be the...loser fighter.

[up]kind off, Ren is a secondary chararter, being the quiet one contrast with Nora loud personality, he is sort bland but it add to is charm, also he way more line that in both season.

"her being based on a Greek hero who's DEATH is one of his most well-known aspects also didn't help her life expectancy."

All JRPN are like that, they are pretty much team death flags.

Speaking of Ren, I'm so peeved that we still haven't seen him using his Exploding Palm technique again. ):<

What are you talking about, Jovian? Blake scowls and looks sullen a lot, that must mean she's a deep character!

Anyway, what do you mean when you say they didn't follow through on Pyrrha's character arc?

They killed her off before she could become even more bland...by getting those super powers and bearing the responsibility of a not that OP figure.

Honestly, I never found her especially bland. More like understated. Only thing I didn't really like was her voice acting.

I never cared much about phyrra, because I never feel she was much of a chararter, existing so Jaune can have a love interest and as foldder so Cinder can be dangerous, her arc in season 2 was pretty cliche "Im awsome and people dosent aproach me so I like this guy who is nice to me" it make Jaune the typical shonen protagonist of today, she got better in volume 3 because she actually was the protagonist of the story.

[up]No, there was hint on how dangerous she was but nothign clear, when she go all azula to the tower ir give a hint and her fight with Phyrra show how powerfull a maiden can be.

[up] *Somewhere far in the distance, you hear Amber crying*

Maidens are only OP if they are evil. Or it happened that Pyrrha was One-on-One with Cinder and she was going to fail in the end.

Maybe it would've been better if they played up the more stressful side of Gladiator's skill...the side that is full of expectations to live up to.

Sure, having no friends is a real drag or whatever...but it's actually not as big of a deal.

[up]is not that she dosent have friend tbe issue, but she dosent because she is too good, it come across as the type of dilema a fan fiction chararter will make so people stop complaing about her being a mary sue.

It dosent help her romance with Jaune would be Otaku pandering have this show being japanise.

It would have been nice to have phyrra survive to see how she handles not fulfilling ones destiny and that failure leading to the school being overun by grim. That when she was needed the most to come through she failed.

That and she really could have used more interaction with other characters. Definitely more interaction with Ruby to give her demise that could have been used later more weight and draw a better conclusion for the character.

Sorry if I've asked this before, but who do you think should get the final blow in on Cinder? Jaune or Ruby or both?

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

[up][up]Yng already have that spot as "one who everything crash" so it dosent matter that much, but more interaction with other would be nice, on the other hand it would make her claim of having not friend more hollow.

[up]None, I think She will have all the power for moment...and them Salem with take them away

Jaune. And then he asks her if she believes in Destiny. As a result instead of sending the power to whoever, she thinks of Pyrrha who's dead, and thus the Maiden power goes to someone random and out of Salem's hands for the moment.

[up]which will make Salem to hunt the idiot in order to find out the next person.

Right now I will like to see how they handle the villians and hero, from one part I dont want to make them to strong or people will find grating the lack of sucess, on the other hand I dont want to become a revenge thing where the bad guy get curp stomp so for give the audience a good time, I really hope the writer are better than that.

[up]Gladiator's problem is that people think she's unapproachable because of reputation...that's just natural, but that's not the real stressful part of having a reputation, it's just unfortunate.
