1-.....or his sword simply wasn't strong enough to cut thrugh the hide of a Grim alone.

2-Some more info on various families would have been nice. They could have shown a campsite of just the four o them where someone took watch, and Jaune could have shared stories of his sisters around the campfire. 1-Nah, we saw how Jaune in V1, even as a total pussy, was able to slice off a Major Ursa's head n a single slash with easy and no help. If it suddenly couldn't cut through a Grimm, unless that Grimm is a total tank, it would be rather bullshit.

...But on the other hand, they could've done something like this in their fight against Pedro de Geist (Petra Gigas): Have Jaune try to attack it, and his sword bounces back because it's fucking stone. Ren's slashes also fail, but he's at least agile enough to hit the mask, unlike Jaune. Thus Jaune ends up useless the whole fight, and once they get back to the village, they ask the blacksmith to improve Jaune's equipment as a favor.

So, instead of being useless because he decided to accompany his team to the fight despite not having a weapon or shield, he's useless because his sword simply did not work on the Grimm, thus giving a better reason to upgrade it.

2-Or his family in general. We only got a short mention of them going to Shion at times.

The worst part? We did get a scene with them sitting around a campfire. We could've had Ruby talking about her family, and expressing her now-apparently-lacking feelings for esentially ditching them without a word, even when her sister was traumatized. She literally left Yang (and Tai) like Blake had just left them.

Plus, they could've asked Ren and Nora about how they met, and then we get Ren's childhood scenes. More fluid that way.
