When do you think we'll get news on volume 9 and how long do you think the volume will be I remember someone telling me that volume 9 was going to be 10 episodes but I think that's just the rumor

I'm a month late on this ask, sorry! I would've said we'd get it at RTX, since that's a big event and people would be compelled to buy tickets and attend so as to be among the first to know. But here we are a month later and yup! They're gonna reveal it at RTX, surprise, surprise XD

As for the length, I've heard from several people (and one of the writers iirc?) that it'll be a short volume with fewer episodes, but I don't remember the actual number.

#quinanswer #rwby volume 9 news #PLEASE all I want to know is whether my boy will be in it at all #I need to know if I have to wait another year #he's a big part of why I actually watch the show lmao #the vacuo team is more interesting to me atm sorry rwbyj but you didn't have arcs set up the same way in v8 that all of olve did #if we timeskip past any of the following I will riot: #the merge; nora finding herself; the early refugee crisis and impact of atlas' fall; emerald integrating into the team; #oz finding his new role as peer; oscar/nora being team leader; whitley losing weiss & interacting w olve; grief; winter & maiden powers #did I mention the merge? #cause uh not just it finalizing but I need to see their identities mixing and getting confused before they fully become one #not just their mannerisms/demeanors and oz adopting oscar's morals and worldview (though that's all been fun to see too) #I am begging to stop reminding us THAT they're merging & show us what that is actually doing to them psychologically #the tags sound a bit rwde but listen #if vacuo isn't in v9 we'll either have to timeskip or spend early v10 catching up #and crwby won't likely wanna go long without rwbyj #it's gonna be a hard balance... tbh I feel like this is a weird time for them to implement this plan they've had pre-v1 airing #right after atlas' fall.... #but alas that's what we're workin with #whoops quin pulled a quin and no one is surprised
