As many as can be fit into the show, I would imagine. Hopefully they won't be the whole of Jaune's arc (pun intended).
So...odds on who each of Salem's goons winds up going up against? Tyrian's coming for Ruby at the moment, but what about Watts and Hazel?

Hazel might intercept Blake and Watts seems like a Villain with Good Publicity so he might appear in the charity event.

Only sometimes postsGrief and remember all the good times each of them had together...the good times that don't really exist on-screen.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I expect that Tyrian's inevitable attack on team RWBY is going to be the first major turning point of the season. Being a member of the big evil council means he's almost assuredly going to be a match for the team together, and he also has the element of surprise and insanity making him unpredictable, so I expect the fight with him will be a wash. I do however expect that Jaune's semblance with manifest as the factor that enables them to fend him off, whether until help arrives from an outside source or until the group can regroup enough to fight back.
As for Ruby, she's been kinda bland but I'm hoping now that we've seen Jaune's reactions and coping mechanisms, we can more heavily focus on her when the main conflict inevitably comes barreling through, whether in the aftermath of Tyrian's attack or some other event occuring.
Just a slight touch upon the earlier stuff, I don't think Ruby was wrong to leave, insofar as Yang didn't seem to be improving and we have a minimum timespan of two months for her to have tried to help. Having the knowledge of whatever evil group that Cinder is apart of given to her by Qrow as well as knowing she has a power that could stop them would likely weigh on her for that time, and knowing that her friends died because she wasn't able to stop Cinder before would work as a strong motivater to prevent similar evil.
As for Cinder, I don't want any wangst, and I don't think anyone was arguing for that, just that once Ruby sees Cinder's condition, a wince and acknowledgment of her own lack of control with the power would be understandable. Although, I doubt Ruby's gonna see fucked up Cinder anytime soon, since Cinder is IIRC taking a staycation while the others go out and do work in the world. By the time they meet up, Ruby might be more used to seeing those kinds of things by then.

I mean, I can buy I suppose that this level of homicidal madness might come as a surprise to Ruby and her crew, since they haven't really encountered it before, but as an audience member I don't really expect to be caught off guard by anything he does.
I do want to see more of Ruby having to deal with the fact that there are traitors to their own race helping Salem bring about the fall of humanity for whatever their reasons are, because it outright clashes with her initial view of heroic or helpless humanity vs the evil Grimm and adding evil people into it complciates it immensely and I hope she has to deal with and accept a much more complciated world.
She doesn't have to turn edge or dark but becoming more mature and understanding of the world would be much better than her desperately trying to stick to her (clearly prove wrong at this point) fairy tail view of the world. Summer was implied to have done it, Ruby should too.
That said, I've never really been happy with the way RWBY handles the whole "semblance" thing. They're wildly varied in nature and power, which sort of annoys me, though not really for any good reason. I just prefer magic systems that are more consistent.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.I've actually been really happy.with way they handle jaune's combat skills.Show just enough to show him improving.While that the same time keeping him behind the rest of the cast.Lets not forget he had no combat training prior to Beacon.While the rest of cast have been training for most of there lives.They have already done the work he is doing.So him being behind makes sense.
Even with Pyrrha tutoring him its a miracle he was able to close the gap this much already.

You probably hate mutants and Stands then, seeing a show they're as varied as it gets.
Also, why are you instantly assuming that Ruby's knowledge of Jaune's training will amount to nothing? We're literally only three episodes into the volume. Anything could happen.

Especially when it's among a string of pointless moments.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.That's because it's not. It's an observation.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!That's fine, it wasn't my criticism anyway.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.People love jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst. You should have seen this place after episodes 6 and 7 of volume 3, some people legitimately seemed to think that Yang was about to be gunned down by Atlas soldiers.
Please wait until tomorrow before discussing the episode, even in spoiler tags.
