1-However a semblance is a permanent thing. I am going to guess Jaune is going to get more skilled over the volumes and that is where I am getting worried with giving him such a semblance.

2-Besides that I find it a bit cliché for the blonde knight guy to have a shield/reflect kind of ability. I want some originality.

3-Above that I don't trust the writers enough to keep the shield consistent. "Oh look there! Now he can block an artillery shell instead of just a grenade like two episodes ago (with no real reason), because plot convenience? I guess..."

4-I just don't trust the writers enough with such a semblance hence my flashbang idea. 1-Then you should worry about almost everyone. Ruby and her Speed/Rose-Petal Storm. Weiss and her Glyphs and Summons. Sun and his Clones. And so on.

2-Fun fact: Monty himself said that he didn't care much for originality when making RWBY. It was never their intention to be "original".

3-I doubt Miles and Kerry are that bad. Even with Ruby and her Semblance changing to something completely different, there were at least multiple months (in-universe) between the end of V3 and the start of V4.

4-And you trust the writers to not mess it up with a Flashbang idea?

Look, in any work where someone has power, all you can do is trust the writers. You literally have no other choice but wait and see if they actually do it well or not. You might have doubts, but you can't reject things just because of doubts.
