Shadow at Morning wrote: No, you missed my point. Actually, I don't think you really have a point. Or rather, not a valid argument. Hunter Academies of any of the kingdoms are likely not small. Of course, I would guess that if any kingdom's Academies were small, it would be Atlas being as Mantle is arguably the smallest continent to bear a kingdom (apparently Menagerie isn't a "kingdom"). Besides which my point still trumps yours that no matter how strong Ren may be, he is still not at the level Pyrrha is. Everyone basically steered clear of Pyrrha due to her superior ability. Being in the same school, doesn't mean two people automatically will know each other. However, it's possible Ren (and Nora) very well may have known about Pyrrha. We've been given no indication that Ren and Nora never knew who Pyrrha was before meeting her at Beacon, and Ren hardly ever says anything to anyone. As interesting as we may think it would be to tap into that topic, RT may not have thought it to be very important up to now. Nora probably has been gabbing in Pyrrha's ear behind-the-scenes about how she always wished she could hang out with her, there's no way to know that she didn't until it is explicitly confirmed by RT.

Ozpin's name would not inherently mean that he was born before the war, though it is a possibility. Just because the custom exists does not mean it was strictly adhered to by everyone everywhere or that there are not special exceptions. However, Monty's naming rules and his own explicit and adamant remark that Ozpin is the only character to not follow the naming rules followed by the information from Ozpin's speech implies that everyone after Ozpin has been named according to this rule and therefore there is no one who does not adhere to it (as if it were a global rule).

Even if Jaune doesn't keep up with the famous people of the world, I find it pretty hard to believe that no one told him that the person on his cereal box is a home town celebrity. Especially if Pyrrha is loved and praised as much as she saids she is.
 * 1) Pyrrha is world famous.
 * 2) Pyrrha is loved and praised... in Mistral. Only recently leaving Mistral to attend Beacon.
 * 3) I for one certainly never batted an eye at any of the Olympic stars and basketball players to grace the boxed of my damned Wheaties, I don't see why anyone should give Jaune a hard time for being the same way.
 * 4) Jaune mentioned that Pumpkin Pete's only puts "celebrities and cartoon characters" on their boxes, implying that Pyrrha was not the only athlete to be given the "honor". Although Weiss and Jaune act like it's a big deal, CLEARLY IT ISN'T.
