I personally thought the fight was hilarious, but taking that fight as an indicator for anything is a bad move since it was meant to be a joke and nothing else.

That's exactly the problem, though. The Joke of Jaune - Haha, it's funny how worthless he is in, like, every imaginable way! - keeps getting hammered out, while his actual Big Win moments like his conflict with Cardin or his tournament victory are constantly attributed to his teammates being awesome while he's...well, present. Usually getting humiliated for lulz.

By the end of season 2, Jaune gets a big moment of awesome where he drops a single Ursa by himself without Pyrrha needing to magnetically manipulate his weapons for him. An amazing point of development that can be summarized as, "He finally achieved the level of progress he SHOULD have had a season and a half ago."

I think Jaune must known Nora's semblance, saw the storm up there during that fight and was all like, "Yeah, let's call down the thunder, but first get her to the lightning."

Then he tried to be Ruby and failed miserably at that.

That's what I got.

"Wow, someone doesn't progress super-fast? Totally a terrible character and will forever be one."

That is what you sound like right now.

[up]Maybe. I dunno, Pyrrha seemed to have kept her Semblance on the down-low, and we still don't know Ren's yet.

We see when the gears turn in his head on that.

Nora gets shocked by the taser. The announcer announces her Semblance. Then Jaune suddenly looks back at the mountain, looks up at the peak, and sees the lightning storm. At that moment, he tells her to climb the mountain.

He does have a cool moment during the tournament where he has Pyrrha bounce off his shield so she can block a sniper shot at Nora. That's a good Jaune moment. But it's drowned out in all the terrible leadership and "LOL Jaune sucks so hard" comedy in the rest of the fight.

I think Jaune's gonna get action survivor by surviving some action and share leader duty with Ruby with Nora and Ren as their hapless pawns.

Yeah. Jaune's a quick tactical thinker. Honestly, he can probably direct teams of people easily, but doesn't yet have the self confidence to do so.

Anywhoo, I have work now, so I'll be back in a few hours.

Eh, it's not my fault the writers are so dedicated to Jaune being hilariously incompetent that they robbed him of a triumphant Character Development moment only to try and bring it back a season and a half later, expecting us to totes take it seriously this time.

Then immediately resumed shitting on him for lulz.

Jaune actually didn't get shit on that much in this volume all things considered.He only really made 2 actual mistakes.

The team meeting in the middle of a match.And to be honest considering the other team didnt take advantage he was hardly the only one given the idiot ball.Keep in mind that out of the 3 'main' teams in that tourament he was the one who came out of it look like the actual leader of his team the most

And the Amber thing.Which is highly debatable.All in all skills wise this Volume was pretty good to him

I wouldn't even call it a crush. Like, Sun's barely interacted with Blake at all since season one. Neptune and Weiss had a date that one time in season two but only because Jaune encouraged him to go talk to her, and they've barely interacted since.

Sun literally has a song about being in love with Blake.

I don't want to get into the likelihood of any ships, but the Ship Tease for both of them has been about as subtle as a brick to the face. There's not much point breaking it down further than that, because if a creator wants a ship to happen it will happen regardless of how much "evidence" it had.

Neither pairing is anywhere near Official Couple status right now, so the idea that Sun has to be horribly killed so that Blake can cry over his body, rage against the heavens, and be comforted for the loss of her EPIC LOVE by Yang is just silly.

The entire nature of Die for Our Ship is silly.

Sun literally has a song about being in love with Blake.

He does?

I admit, I can't make out the lyrics to a lot of the music in this show. That's a bit more blatant, yes.

[up]Volume 3 or 2's Soundtrack has a song called Not Fall In Love With You. It's Sun's viewpoint towards Blake.

Volume 3. The wiki says it plays after Team SSSN's victory in the tournament which, uh, is an awkward place for a love song. But the lyrics are pretty unambiguous.

Yeah.

Also, the reason why everyone says there's lot of Ship Tease between Blake/Yang: See here

It's the largest section on the page.

"Volume 3 also draws an explicit parallel between Yang and Adam, with whom Blake shared a canonically romantic (though unhealthy) relationship."

So im not the only one to see ether, funny.

Now, Yang X Adam would make one hell of a couple.
