Note: absolutely no part of my post here has anything to do with whether or not people have the right to dislike Ruby\'s group\'s handling or storyline, and there may well be suitable YMMV options out there for people trope the dislike that parts of the fandom did feel towards it (and it\'s true that some fans did try and compare it to Volume 5). However, calling it ArcFatigue and misrepresenting it as the same thing that happened in Volume 5 isn\'t the way to do it.

So, there\'s actually no arc here to be fatigued. What there is, however, is an OutOfFocus example, where the main hero group for Episodes 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 is Yang\'s group rather than Ruby\'s group. Meanwhile, what we do see of Ruby\'s group makes much wider use of the Manor and its grounds than Volume 5 did, so even in that respect, it\'s not the same as Volume 5.

Volume 5 really did have the main plot being stuck in the house (in fact, just one room of the house (the kitchen-diner) -- the rest of the house wasn\'t seen except for two brief scenes in the courtyard), with the characters spending over a month there, allegedly training, but the audience only saw one brief scene of them training -- we only ever saw them sitting around talking. So, the vast majority of it occurred only in one room of the house, apart from two brief scenes in the courtyard, and one brief scene in Yang\'s bedroom. It\'s part of the reason why the volume is considered the show\'s SeasonalRot volume.

That\'s completely different to the situation in Volume 8, which occurs over the span of a couple of hours and cycles between the different groups of heroes (two), hero antagonists (one), and villains (two). Although the entry is technically correct to say Ruby\'s group is at the Manor for Episodes 4-12, that misrepresents the reality that the situation here is OutOfFocus... there\'s not an \

That\\\'s completely different to the situation in Volume 8, where the episodes in question occur over the span of just a couple of hours, and cycles between what the heroes (two groups), hero antagonists (one group), and villains (two groups) are all doing in those hours. While it\\\'s technically correct to say Ruby\\\'s group is at the Manor for Episodes 4-12, the reality is that they\\\'re mostly OutOfFocus: they\\\'re not in Episode 9 at all; they have no presence in Episodes 5 & 6 beyond a cameo during a montage sequence of the entire world reacting to Ruby\\\'s pre-recorded message (Episode 5) and the entire kingdom reacting to Salem\\\'s first attack on the kingdom (Episode 6); they have only a minor presence in Episode 10 for the reunification of the heroes back into one group. They have very large and plot heavy focus for Episodes 7 and 8.

So, there\\\'s actually no arc here to be fatigued. What there is, however, is an OutOfFocus example, where the main hero group for Episodes 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 is Yang\\\'s group rather than Ruby\\\'s group. Meanwhile, what we do see of Ruby\\\'s group makes much wider use of the Manor and its grounds than Volume 5 did, so even in that respect, it\\\'s not the same as Volume 5.

However, calling it ArcFatigue and misrepresenting it as the same thing that happened in Volume 5 isn\\\'t the way to do it.
