The volume 4 is supposed to take place 6-8 months after the end of the volume 3 and during those months team RNJR has made it in Anima, Yang has been getting ovet the loss of her arm, Weiss spent the most of it in her room and Blake... was that whole time on a boat?

Honestly, only Yang's time skip makes properly sense since she has clearly learned to live without her right arm, and maybe team RNJR's too since they the most likely had to stop every now and then to earn more money for tickets over the sea and equpments.

Weiss... She acts a bit like someone who has just arrived back to Atlas. Or at least that what her interactions with both Klein and Whitley made me think.

And then there is Blake... The way how she talked with Sun on the boat made it seem like she had just jumped on the first ship to the Menagerie after the Fall of Beacon and that's it. Not mentioning that the boat trip from Vale to Menagerie can't possible take that long. Sailing around Africa takes only a month or so from real life CNV and distance between Vale and Menagerie can't be that much more. Plus... How Blake didn't ever notice Sun following her until before that sea serpent grimm attacked if he had been doing it 6-8 months?

My theory is that Blake is "living in past" compared to the other members of team RWBY. Weiss also might have lived "in past" but after she got "grounded" the time has moved faster and she is now part of the same timeline (or close) as Ruby and Yang.
