I know I'm a little late to the party here but in regards to the bully arc.It's pretty obvious that it sole purpose was to explain Jaune 's lack of badassrey.Why was it done then instead of later? Probably because RT was afraid that people would have lost patience with him if it was done later.

Considering Janue's situation if he where to go into the tournament without that development he would have been curstomped.BADLY.Keep in mind he's purpose to be the LEADER of team JNPR,a team that has three other much better combatants.You simply cannot have a character in that position without explaintion unleast you want said character to lose any and all likeably.

Additionly Volume 2 is were (at least we assume)the  plot is suppose to kick in.Having the arc there would have used up time that could have been used for plot.Also keep in mind that they probably weren't planning on lengthing the show running time at that point.

Look I'm not saying that a bully arc was the best way to address Janue's lack of combat skill.But I do think that they the right call in addressing a so early.
