Plus, not the first time they did this. They included Oscar's scene's in Volume 4 despite him not impacting the plot until Volume 5. They had to introduce him so he wouldn't come absolutely out of the blue conveniently when he's important, slowly explain why Ozpin is in his head instead of doing a massive sudden info dump, and set up that there's a history between Ozpin and Hazel early on so that it also wouldn't be totally out of the blue.
