I'm not really sure that putting two characters together will guarantee a romantic relationship. Nora and Ren were childhood friends (apparently, the longer you know someone, the less likely you are to fall in love with them), and Ruby may be a bit more focused on being a huntress than going out with anyone (though you may be right about Juanne and Pyrrha). Besides, we didn't come here for romance, we came for teenagers fighting monsters. And that is exactly what we got today.

Ruby and Weiss (maybe Juanne too) are probably going to be the focus, as they all end up learning their flaws, and overcome them in time for the season finale.

I'm not sure about team CRNL, I have no idea what their role is. They could be the beta team, red shirts, turncoats, actually pretty cool guys, I dunno.

As for the future, I'm thinking that Ruby and Juanne are both going to learn the trials of leadership, and Weiss is going to soften up in time. With an attack on Beacon being the focus on the tail end of the season.

Also, Nora is secretly Pinkie Pie. That is all.
