This volume is dark. And I mean really, REALLY dark. However, it's through this arc that really showcases some of the best out of characters like Penny, Nora, Ren, Yang, and Oscar and their journey as themselves. Some of the best in the music, and while I believe the fights are not as good as Volume 7's overall, it more than makes up for it in pure spectacle. This also is when Ruby starts to doubt herself as a leader, and as a person, and sets up one of the best character arcs I've ever watched. A beautiful volume that will break your heart, but one that will leave you wanting to watch more immediately.
