Ozpin VS. Cinder: True. Unless RNJR demands he explain how he thinks they can fight her if he lost we'll probably not going to find out.

Raven and Qrow: Yeah, with those two I think they know how to dance around each other or know when the other won't say anything.

Tyrian: Depends on how disappointed she is in him and whether or not he'll be allowed to recover before going on a new missions. If he's on his own, training or finished his assignment I could see him messing with Jaune for fun. Given his state of mind I'm not sure if he needs a deep reason for being interested. I'd like one but who knows at this point.

If Tyrian is nearsighted he'll have more trouble seeing those farther away from him. Jaune seems to be the only one he really focuses on and gets closer to get a better view of. While the rest of RNJR were brave I don't think anyone else gave him anything close to that look.

Ren is normally cool and collected so I don't think his expression changed. Ruby looked a little scared when he first attacked her. Nora was either in "happy smashing" mode or really focusing on what she was doing. Jaune switches from surprised to "I want to throttle you" in a moment of seeing Tyrian up close.

Relics: I assume that the Wizard had the Relics for awhile and only used them as the King in the Great War. Since he was forced to reveal his hand that meant Salem would know he had them and be more alert so he had to hide them. I've seen it debated that the cape was a Relic and that meaning Ruby would get it.

If any of those are Relics they are all (except the cape which isn't mentioned) kind of obvious just because Qrow mentioned them. Good thought progress for what item might be what Relic. True. The two brothers might have made the Relics but who's to say they can't change appearances? If the scepter is the cane I would kind of expect that to be true.

Salem does think Cinder is the key to their victory and at the moment all we have is the fact she's the Fall Maiden. Her having all the powers would also mess up with the cycle as Qrow says that there's always four.

Aura: I did have a theory that when someone's born the parents usually name them after their aura color. It seems too coincidental that most of the characters have the same aura and name color. I suspect the Scnhees only have white names to go with the Snowflake icon because Jacques seems to value the name brand above such traditions. Jaune has the white armor to represent it, along with his weapons.

But why would they baby him if he's not special or the youngest? Jaune says that he wasn't good enough to be a hero like his family but how does he know that? He never went to Huntsmen school despite wanting to go. The only reason I can believe he thinks this is if his family refused to let him go and told him couldn't do it (i.e. fight.) They don't believe in him hence he has a low self esteem. Yet they decide to let him go to an advance school? Something isn't adding up and I'm wondering if their in on whatever Ozpin is planning.

There was this theory about Ozpin repeatedly trying to form the right teams over the years which kept on failing. Power and family connections aren't enough. Take STRQ for example, if they were as great as Qrow made them sound they should have been the perfect team. The problem was apparently Raven. Personality, intelligence, will and kindness all play a part in why he chooses people. He had a list of reasons why he wanted Pyrrha as the Fall Maiden too.

Ozpin Choosing Leaders: I think we need more information on Tai too because he doesn't try to stop his girls from being Huntresses despite what happened to Summer. He doesn't seem to hate Ozpin either judging by the way he mentioned him. We don't know everything Ozpin was doing over the years. He might have been making plans with other headmasters.

Getting into Beacon: I know, that was more or less a joke about his bad luck. Maybe Raven didn't want her brother to embarrass her and that happened? Just kidding.

You mean Ozpin didn't do anything to put Jaune in the position of making the decision? Maybe not but in general he seems to move with the flow. He had nothing to do with RWBY being involved with Torchwick/White Fang either and that worked out for him. Ruby gave them information and he let the team help Oobleck. Maybe he learned the hard way that being too involved makes things worse.

Pyrrha? Probably but she didn't question a lot of things. Until Jaune told her about the fake transcripts she had no idea he was untrained. He was someone that wasn't in awe of her so maybe she didn't want to scare him off by asking him questions.

I don't think of power in those terms. Jaune either is the most powerful Arc or he isn't. The problem is that he's the least skilled and without skill he can't properly wield that power.

Glynda was trying to help Jaune learn to improve after his fight with Cardin. She had no words of advise to Pyrrha when she took on Cardin and his team. While Pyrrha might be important she's not the one that needed improvement. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Jaune needed more help? Yes, I was saying that and that Glynda was trying to help him. I don't think Glynda would yell at Pyrrha or Ren. Jaune and Nora? Yes. Nora for being Nora and Jaune because he was the one that needed help.

Whatever he had planned Ozpin seemed very sure of himself when Jaune was launched. Either he was positive of the outcome or he is as cold as ice.

Even before Jaune is able to come up with a question Qrow seems concerned. Maybe he heard the Pyrrha video when he was watching them. I think he sympathizes although he seemed a little defensive about his part when he stresses it was her choice. Guilt maybe? He also makes sure Jaune knows that he was watching over all of them to show he does care about JNR too. Qrow might feel bad for insulting them with Pyrrha too.

Maybe. We can just guess that RWBY/JNPR were ones that he saw importance in.

Ozpin/King: I don't doubt for a moment that Ozpin has made questionable choices.

Step down sooner? Why? He stepped down after the war once he had the chance to change the whole world for the better by creating the schools. He couldn't have done that as just the king of Vale.

I think I want both of those theories to come true just to have Oscar tell Jaune he's his great great grandfather. The dynamic would be fun.
