 * RNJR enters the blacksmith shop, blacksmith hands Jaune his armor and goes to get the weapon


 * Cue "Your hoodie has a cute wittle bunny on it!!!" scene


 * Moment that shows Jaune honored Pyrrha by putting her circlet in his shield


 * Walk out of the shop, somehow hear/found out about the Geist, agree to kill it


 * Cut to JNR waiting in the forest while discussing RNJR's team name


 * Ruby arrives with Geist chasing her, fight

They probably felt something like that wouldn't flow quite as well as the arrangement they went with.

They do have a problem with using Jaune and Sun as jokes, and they really need to stop doing that at the expense of those characters' personalities, likeability, and combat skills. "It would be funny" is not a justifiable excuse to ruin the writing.
