Jaune needs practice and proper instruction, yes. But he also needs imagination. He's not stupid but he's so basic. If he wants to slash something, he just does a downward slash or a horizontal one. He would never think, the fake like her was going to rush in, stop at the last second, back step on a swing from a for and THEN horizontal slash. He would never thing to sweep behind someone and bowl them over with his shield. Or pretend he was going to block, but sidesteps and cleaves a foes legs. He's a straight forward generic fair play kinda Average Joe. And I guess people see a lot of themselves in him. But when you lie to get into the in-crowd because you wanna stomp with the big dogs like your family members, you gotta be reminded that this is a contact sport. He's got to step it up. Things are getting more dire and serious by the minute. He girl died. If that's not reason enough to go somewhere and get REAL training I don't know what is.

Sun's weapons being simplified is fine if that don't change the look of it without explaining in show. Call it an upgrade. But if they keep avoiding it until they finally make the new rig or whatever, then the time may come where Sun's in a fight and it would make perfect sense to shoot but he doesn't ONLY because they have the rig yet. Once this season is over there's no excuse. There's like a good 5 to 6 months between seasons. Plus he never used the guns since season 1 so I know they've had plenty of time. So fingers crossed for season 5.

Back to Oscar and Oz. If Oz is telling Oscar that what he learned and how he deals with Salem's assaults is something he inherited. Then maybe that fighting style we got a glimpse of against Cinder will be adopted by Oscar to some degree (minus the cane). Maybe as Oscar is merging with Oz he'll start to fight like him. Maybe Cinder thought Oz was dead but he really pulled his crippled body into the machine to transfer aura and released his aura into the air until it found Oscar. Something that may have happened to him.

Now my point for bringing this up is this: Maybe there's a certain set of techniques that have to be done to finish off Salem. Maybe it's like an exorcism. Certain fighting styles or aura strikes expell her for good. And only a line of scholars like Oz knew it.
