1. We have confirmation that Ruby can't use her semblence indefinitely. Both when she was falling and Weiss saves her and before she gets stuck on the cliff, her semblence runs out of juice. This is somewhat of a retcon because in V1, she was zooming through the Emerald forest for 38 seconds straight. https://youtu.be/1JZgPfbKbU4?t=102

We are told that Semblences can evolve over time but Ruby got straight up nerfed.

2. Blake's upgrade to Gamol Shroud was supposed to come a long LONG time ago. So we basically have confirmation that the current writers are stretching out Monty's content to give it more padding and make more volumes. 1. That may not have been her using her Semblance, though. She may have just been straightup running and they were trying to make everything move fast to show that she's running.

2. Actually... Volumes 1, 2, and half of 3 were all supposed to be Season 1. Monty specifically said season, not volume. Back in the day, they considered a Season to be multiple Volumes.

Also, it's not just Monty's content. He planned the story with​​​​​​​ Miles and Kerry, so the story is just as much theirs as it is his.
