Am I the only one who doesn't want Jaune and Pyrrha to get together? Like really doesn't? To be totally honest, I think that would it would be awful injustice to Pyrrha's character, and here's why: If you look over her introduction and role in the plot as a whole, all she has really done is kick ass and act as a love interest to Jaune. She has no interactions with any other characters (except Weiss, and that was to build for her meeting Jaune), little to no scenes where Jaune has no involvement whatsoever, little to no dialouge where Jaune has no involvement whatsoever, and all around seems like just a potential romantic pawn piece. And I really don't want to say that. I like Pyrrha a lot as a character and while I would love to see her and Jaune's relationship explored more just as much as anyone else, but I want them to become CLOSE PLATOINC FRIENDS, not boyfriend and girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, Nora and Ren have a very similar problem (hardly interacting with anyone, having litte involvement with the plot, etc; which is probably why I don't ship NoRen either), but the series has still treated Pyrrha like a simple potential girlfriend for Jaune.

And all general fanon aside, I don't believe that there's any real evidence that Pyrrha has a crush on Jaune. While I know that ALOT of you guys are against me on this, I have to admit that the whole 'huge crush' thing doesn't sit with me. I can't deny that Pyrrha has a strong liking towards Jaune, but what that strong liking specifically is, we really don't know. She could just find his goofball nature endearing and wants to see him suceed. I'm not saying that a crush is unlikely, but I just don't see any "real proof" of it. I know many of you would argue otherwise, but until there's direct, straightforward, painfully obvious evidence given to us, I'm not buying it. (This could just be my Asperger Syndrome and horrible non-verbal communication skills talking, but I still stand by my views)

Before I go, I just want to say that I mean no offense whatsoever towards Arkos shippers/supporters. If you ship it/support it, by all means do so. I just wanted to offer my personal opinions regarding this pairing and bring about some discussions (since that's kind of the point.)
