Personally, I think that there is a significant chance of Pyrrha dying a heroic death later on in the show to save Jaune and that is what triggers his transformation to all-out-badass. Ruby ends up picking up the many emotional pieces out of friendship and then romance stuff happens as a consequence.

Dark story possibility - Ozpin set up Pyrrha to meet Jaune to unlock his aura and start him along the path to being a warrior and then set her up to die when a final push was needed to make him willing to fight. I'm kind of afraid that will happen. Juane just wouldn't be the same if his motivation was his dead girlfriend. I don't know how I would feel about it if it happened, but if it did, who would fill in on the team for her? Maybe Adam after he turns good, or a new character entirely.
