Jaune, himself, displayed such action of irrationality. Remember Volume 1? He was able to stand up against the bully- one that he knew is a better fighter than he was, but did it because they would be targeting Pyrrha. High in anger, then adrenaline rush, he stopped them. Except this is extremely wrong.

First he was quite the beta towards Cardin. And sure, he tried to stand up to them when he was ordered to throw the jar at Pyrrha. But he got his face beaten up because of it, and he most definitely was not "high in anger, then adrenaline rush". He was at most faking a smile.

But then he got lucky with his Semblance, and a giant bear came out of nowhere and scared off RDL of CRDL before Jaune tried to take it on.

Now then he got high in adrenaline rush (not anger)....and constantly got punched around because he was too much of a zetta idiot to use the zetta shield he carries zetta everywhere. He only won thanks to Pyrrha.

......And then he acted all tough towards Cardin, but it was less "standing up to the Bully" and more "proving he's the one with actual balls and the other should leave his team alone". And even then, it was not in a "very angry" way.

Now, an example of him really being high in anger and adrenaline would be Haven. He screamed at Cinder, charged at her, almost got killed for it, and got Weiss penetrated by Cinder for it. All he achieved was make Cinder forget the reason she made her plan.
