Jaune feels to me like he could become The Paladin, minus religious things and faith.

Do you think someone else could get a power-up in the near future for our heroes?

Blake?

Blake!?

BLAKE!?

Monty said he'd upgrade Gambol Shroud in Season 3. I've been waiting to see that honestly.

@BSN Probably. Jaune has like that someone vague background of having a famous ancestor that fought in the war, and i thought that Crocea Mors could be magical in nature.

So Jaune could be the Paladin (if his semblance is related to healing Aura) and become a badass in the process.

Then he would befriend the murlocs and proceed to break the meta

It seems everyone likes to make Jaune OP as balls in fanfiction.

Honestly, I don't think they're that far off. We still haven't the faintest idea of what he can do. If it's something stupid like light flashes or something I'm gonna be pissed.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

[up]We might have seen Jaune's semblance already. In Forever Fall, Pt.2, when Cardin attempts to punch Jaune in the face, there is a bright flash of light and Jaune appears to have taken no damage. This could potentially be his Semblance asserting itself.

Maybe Jaune's Semblance is something along the lines of an Attack Reflector shield?

Wait, being a strategist means you can't be a legit badass?

Shit, I guess we need to tell Robin that [lol]

Jaune is the second main hero of RWBY - No doubt he will get a lot of devlopment and become a badass

[up](x6)

A really bullshit power.

Elongated version that really needs a Wiki cleanup: It's similar to what Magneto does, in that he has control over a scientific principle that governs a gigantic range of forces, actions, objects, etc, except instead of magnetism, Accelerator just says f'ck all and controls everything.

Doesn't want to get a tan? Block the vectors that allow sunlight to touch him.

Doesn't want a rocket to hit him? Bend the rocket out of the way, or form a shield around yourself to deflect the explosion.

Need to destroy a malignant tumor inside someone's brain? I'm still not entirely sure how he did that, but he did it for a little girl just by grabbing her forehead, and apparently it fixed her.

Wants to piss facing the opposite direction? Control the vectors of his urine so that it passes around him in a circle.

The only stated ways to get around this "block everything" power are A) the Anti-Magic that the main character has, which bypass Accelerator's reflection. Or B), to time your strikes carefully. If you go to swing at him and pull back at the last second, his power will reverse the action and the punch will connect.

"Only the plot tossing in her father randomly showing up because it wanted team RWBY seperated completely, is the only reason she didn't follow her home and join her on her new adventure. "

Actually is pretty fair, is her father after all and weiss still obey him, I actually enjoy this instead of the obvious rote in this show to bend parent figure to need of cast.

"It seems everyone likes to make Jaune OP as balls in fanfiction."

Ahhhhh the shinji fan fic syndrome, of course

"being a strategist means you can't be a legit badass?"

Nope, a legit badass is about feats, unless Jaune is a magnificent bastard, nobody care about strategy since everything will resume in "how awsome you are" just look batman.

Jaune already is a good fighter.

He doesn't seem like it because he lacks the air of badassry and confidence the other characters have but he holds his own in a fight just as well as the rest of them do. Look at him during Vol 2's finale. A far cry from the useless load he was in Vol 1.

Although considering how much he looks like Flynn from Tales of Vesperia I have expect him to start tossing Holy lances and Radiant Dragon Fangs around.

[up]Seconded.Jaune's current problem is that he doesn't get much opportunities to show his improvement.

Ren suffers from this too.So do CDRL now that I think about it

[up][up]the fact that it dosent have that air of badssery surronding him make him a poor fighter, at least by the standar of the show, in anime show(and even more by monty show) badssery become a law.

Lelouch and technically RWBY's not animoo. According to this wiki it's a "web animation". Now Corey in the house that's an animoo

[up][up]is a mecha series, b) he ham so much it create his own badass imagine and c) bad writing ether screw him(euphina incident) or saving him(geassing GOD?)

Thing is, this series is not that good with strategist as many shonen series, that only work for villians because they shame and shit, etheir power resolve the issue, or something unexpect it.

Also the correct term you are looking is japanimationevil grin
