With Volume 10 of RWBY confirmed, fans are buzzing about the direction the story will take, particularly regarding the development of the Ruby and Oscar ship, known as Rosegarden. Many believe this volume will mark a significant turning point for their relationship as the series nears its conclusion.
Key Concerns Surrounding Character Relationships
As the series approaches its endgame, viewers are scrutinizing character dynamics more than ever. Comments from fans reflect a mix of hope and skepticism about how much screen time and development Rosegarden will receive. Based on past interactions since Volume 5, fans argue that Oscar’s absence in Volume 9 felt significant, especially with the implications made in the tea party scene.
"Oscar is Ruby’s only real ship left. They had the flirting scene I don’t see them setting all that up to do nothing with it."
Despite the evident connection, some users express caution. They worry that with the show’s complex narrative and character arcs, Rosegarden may not flourish as much as fans hope.
Community Sentiment: A Mixed Bag
Several sentiments emerge from the discussions:
Pushing for Rosegarden Development: Many viewers believe that this volume is the time to flesh out their relationship fully. One commenter urged, *"You better pray it’s a lot."
Character Growth for Oscar: Fans hope Oscar will receive additional development before diving deeper into the romance.
Potential Risks with Multiple Subplots: There’s concern that other ongoing plots could overshadow Rosegarden, with one commenter stating, *"shipping subplots like Rosegarden are likely to be on the chopping block."
Exploring Fan Expectations
Fans are eager for clarity regarding Ruby and Oscar’s bond. As one commentator put it, "Oscar wasn't even in Volume 9 he's especially significant to her." Many believe that because Miles (a co-writer) has shown interest in this ship, it stands a chance of becoming prominent.
Interestingly, there are contrasting opinions about the potential resurrection of characters like Penny and if such developments would overshadow Ruby's relationships. Some connections with previous volumes drive the belief that Rosegarden has a fighting chance, even as the narrative wraps up.
Key Takeaways

With the release date for Volume 10 still pending, the speculation continues to grow. How will the creators balance the relationships and the storytelling as they approach the series finale? Only time will tell.
Forecasting the Future of Rosegarden
There's a strong chance that Volume 10 will take significant strides in developing the Rosegarden relationship. As Ruby and Oscar's connection has been simmering since Volume 5, the series may finally provide fans with the depth they crave. Experts estimate around an 80% probability that new scenes will showcase their bond, especially given the anticipation surrounding character arcs and potential dialogue. However, with complex narratives expected to compete for screen time, there's also a notable risk—around 60%—that other storylines could detract from this focus, leaving fans yearning for more development.
A Lesson from Musical History
Looking back, we can draw parallels from the evolution of music bands, especially how some groups balanced multiple themes in their albums. Take Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours; amid personal strife and relationship changes, the band crafted iconic songs that resonated strongly with fans. Similarly, the complexity of Ruby and Oscar's relationship could yield powerful moments if handled skillfully. If the creators of RWBY can harmonize their narratives like Fleetwood Mac did, Rosegarden might just become the anthem fans have been longing for.
