This is just the beginning, you guys are making it a big deal but it's really simple. Jaune had his own arc to explain his background: everybody was wondering how Jaune got accepted into Beacon since he is a complete amateur (the guy doesn't know what aura is). His arc explained some facts about him (his family, his obssesion about heroes) and introduced us Team CRDL, everyone was wondering who they were (bullies) but somethings are left unclear: Why was Jaune never trained? What are Team CRDL weapons and how they got accepted into Beacon when they don't have the b*lls to fight Grimms?

After Jaune arc (god dammit barb!), Blake's arc came in and explained us her past. They used the first half of volume 1 to introduce us the Characters, Beacon, Grimms, Aura, Weapons, etc. They used the other half for character development (Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Jaune) and now they have another 16 episodes to give us more Yang, Ren, Nora, Pyrrha, Velvet and her team. I'm sure this will be the first half of volume 2 and the second half will be the Vytal Festival and the tournament.
