Yes, from a mathematical perspective you are right. Although, a more meaningful metric would be to count the number of minutes of spent fighting in each volume.

Each volume has a longer run time than the last. I would be shocked if V4 had LESS minutes spent fighting while being a lot longer than V1 in totality.

What I think is happening....

FACT: Each Volume is longer than the last.

OPINION: The extra time is spent on exposition which lowers the potency of the show. Instead of 20% of the time spent fighting, in V1 we probably have 10% in V5. We still get the same number of minutes each year of our lives but we have to sit through more story.

I don't have facts to back up that last paragraph but I could do the math if I cared enough.
