Also I saw a lot of people talking shit in RT comments about the "fun" scenes in fights and how they ruin them. Like the whole team attack thing with (J)NPR not knowing about the moves, but I'd bet my level 100 paladin on that it's a setup to an episode where they will question Jaune's leadership and/or leading ability or NPR not taking J seriously enough. I think that it will be used for dramatic contrast in the final battle of the volume - After everyone being so overtly incompetent in places, JNPR and SSSN will suddenly be hyper-competent when the chips are down and it is all for real. Yes, that means that they'll remember what FlowerPower and ArKos are.

FWIW, I suspect that it was meant to be a meta-joke aimed at the fandom but that didn't make it any less funny.
