So what's it like, you know, taking your characters from this larger storyline we've seen for a while and now having this radically different kind of unique storyline? How do you handle that as an actor? It's very interesting being separated from everything that's going on, especially at the end of Oymate, everything was so intense. You had no idea what was going to happen and for all of our characters, all of a sudden, be away from that. Well, I hope everything's okay up there. I don't really know what's going on. The moment I really love to was when the rest of Team Ruby finally finds Yang and she's like, you guys aren't supposed to be here. This is bad if we're all down here. It's a little heartbreaking, but she's trying to be strong and she's like, dang! I love that that's happening and from my standpoint to Ruby, at the end of Volume 4, we had her go off on her own and an attempt to, I think, take on the mantle of leader, decide what needs to happen and really not put anyone else in harm's way. If you hear that happen to you, it's even more heartbreaking. Not only is Ruby not exactly aware what has happened after she had had her fall, it's like her sister now is kind of in all this danger too. From my standpoint, it is awesome to explore this really unique and fun world, but Ruby's still dealing with a lot and now on her own by force, not by choice. So we'll see how she pairs. It sounds like your characters are kind of coming into this with a lot of baggage they're taking into a whole different unique story. As an actor, how do you portray that? How do you carry that weight from something but have to react to something wild? I can answer this. I hang on their backs. I think in my mind, it's really, I think the biggest deal for Weiss in this situation because it was her home. She hasn't probably had time to process all of that and then all of a sudden she's now in this new place dealing with whatever this is. Weiss is very no nonsense in general. There is a lot of nonsense in there. From my perspective acting Weiss, I feel like Ruby's taken on a little bit of Weiss' attitude there, even in front of all this whimsy and wonder, she's annoyed. Really, I have to deal with this now as all of this imminent danger is befalling my friends and my home. Why am I dealing with this talking cat? Love them, by the way, very cute. But a problem in the moment. It's always a challenge, I think, when us as actors get put into these scenarios where you have to deal with so much trauma, essentially. And to figure out how our characters are managing that emotionally, mentally and everything. But I think that's part of the fun of voice acting is trying to put yourself into these scenarios and these situations and understand how your character would perceive it. I know Yang uses comedy along to kind of deal and I think that really comes out this volume which has been really fun. Hi, bye. Hi, bye. Characters are in a bad place, it doesn't mean they're just going to be mopey the whole time. I'm sure we've all been in a situation where something really hard was going on our life or family never passed away or whatever. And you still crack a joke with your friend or it's not just all or nothing. So I think you take the baggage and you put it in a bottle. And then you just slowly release that bottle. A little bit of gallows humor. You sit on your suitcase to zip it. It's a bit of sweetness instead of just a joke. Yeah, exactly. And I think you're saying that with Ruby specifically. I mean for the whole team but then Ruby herself, like they've all been trying to just move forward through these intense conflicts. And for her now to actually have a moment where it's kind of catching up to her, I think is some of the more fun. I'm just saying things about this volume. Now on the riding side of things though, you guys had a pretty significantly large cast. This volume, you really kind of shrunk it down sort of concentrating. Yeah. What was it like making that jump amazing? It was so good. I was gonna be honest. Amazing. It was so good. Yeah. I think it'll focus a little bit easier. It was nice. Yeah. I mean we're constantly trying to make sure that we can balance everybody and get enough of everybody in. So being able to like get really step back and say, here's who we're focusing on. There's a lot of really great exciting fun characters. But to make sure that they all get their due is really challenging. A lot of times you have to lump characters together and they sort of have the same very small stair step stories. And this was nice. I mean this is one of the things I really like about chapter two specifically is you just get these chance to tell smaller stories within a chapter which is harder to do when there's a lot of characters. Personal the season. Yeah. I know from a voice acting perspective it was great. I was like a three hour session today. Well, you were telling me that volume 10 is gonna have about 100 characters. So, yep, that is gonna be very interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What the heck is an arrow fell? Thanks for watching this deeper dive into this week's episode of Ruby.
