Except that even in shonen anime, you can have a main character not give generic and cheap optimistic speeches for 3 episodes straight, especially when they're unnecesary even in context.

Or at the very least you can have them give the speech without interrupting the fight.

"Being part of the gig" is not an excuse. Tropes are tropes, and tropes are bad. Having Ruby give a speech once in a while is fine. Having Ruby give a speech per episode even when there's no reason or need for it, is not good writing. Especially when some of those speeches make another character look bad to work.
