2. Which I don't really see the relevance of as far as this theory goes since I know why people are frustrated.

3. But I'll briefly address it anyway. From what I've seen people always call out every little flaw of his character and are more forgiving of other characters.

4. I will say that I think his talk with Neptune hinted that he wasn't just talking about Neptune trying to be cool and questioning how he saw girls. Jaune thought he had to prove himself like he always has to then realized he wanted Weiss to be happy.

5. I never got the complaints about his skills because if he learned too fast everyone will accuse him of being a Gary Stu.

6. He is getting close to an aura slash but he'd get there faster if he had a teacher since aura has been hard for him to tap.

7. Honestly I feel like RT has always been saying Jaune is special.

8. RT are also making sure we know he has seven sisters by mentioning it twice so far. [...] Is there a reason the Arcs needed a boy ?

9. Now for seemingly no reason Tyrian is interested in Jaune and not the SEW his goddess ordered him to get. Jaune who previously did nothing but give him a dirty look. 1. Honestly, aside from some people, it's mostly that people dislike how the story treats Jaune, rather than Jaune himself. Many people who show so much hate actually like Jaune, but not how the story treats him.

2. It was basically just me going "A lot of people would flip and be upset if Jaune turns out to be the king's descendant and gets some awesome power out of that" and explaining why, for people who might write it off as "Haters gonna hate lol, why aren't they so pissed about Ruby's Silver Eyes, then?"

3. A lot of people call out his flaws because sometimes the story and characters don't. Though, some people do call out his flaws just because they don't like his flaws.

4. If that's what that was supposed to be, then Miles and Kerry could've done a better job at having the story actually tell us that. The way that scene was written came off as "You don't have to be cool all the time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go get with Pyrrha now that I know she likes me." for some people.

5. It needs to be a balance, and unfortunately, he's progressing too slow. I brought up Weiss' training because we were shown her making steps, while Jaune hasn't made clear steps. We're not asking for big improvement, just babysteps and signs of him actually making an effort to get better aside from just two brief training scenes. Even the little things help, like if he had been clearly studying in volume 2's library scene instead of reading a comic with Pyrrha having to take it away and give him a textbook.

6. I've really, sincerely been hoping that that's what that is, since that episode came out. I've been wondering if that training video is meant to teach him how to do an Aura slash so he has a ranged attack he can use.

7. Same. He has a lot of Aura, to the point where Pyrrha felt the need to make note of it, and they've been keeping his Semblance unknown for a while now. That said, I really wouldn't have a problem if one thing that makes Jaune special is his Semblance, and I think others would agree, provided he doesn't just instantly become a badass without having to work on getting good at using it.

8. That is strange, and I didn't really catch on to that until the second mention of his seven sisters because that seemed like it was written in with the purpose of it being significant. Miles and Kerry make sure to at least make mention of significant characters before they become important, so who's to say they're not also making mentions of Jaune's sisters because that'll be an important fact?

9. I'm pretty curious to see what that's about, but I get the feeling we won't find out anytime soon, unless we get a scene with Tyrian reporting in to Salem and saying something about Jaune.
