Yeah but Jaune was set up from the begining as the most important side character. Honestly looking at him as an example for what they might do doesnt really fit in my opinion. Look at Sun, Nora and Ren. They were all established just fine without eclipsing anyone. THAT is probably what will see happen with these new characters.

If you want another example from Miles having to establish characters without taking focus I'd point you towards Season 9 and 10 of RVB which fleshes out ALL of the Freelancers without it being the focus. Or hell you could look at the teachers of Beacon. All were established well in a small amount of time and that is what will happen here

They wanted to set Jaune up in the first Volume because as they established from the begining he was the most important outside of the team and his development could be done in the school setting. Screwed pacing simply undercut it.

Besides that, watch his arc as it was meant to be seen, two 12ish minute episodes and it is much better paced. If his arc had been that originaly nobody would have complained. It simply suffered from the same thing most of the volume did. "Short cut up episodes causing audiance fatigue." But really his arc was shorter the Blake's but she has full 15 minute episodes to work with. This volume is 12 episodes, all of at least 12 minutes each so we won't be having this problem again.

Hell if they wanted they could do an episode each, establishing Sun, Velvet, Penny, and the Villians groups and we would still have 7 episodes to work with the main characters and Maybe one more focused on Pyyrha going by the opening.
