Tyrian: True Ruby was his objective so anything else comes second while he's on the job. Whatever he saw in Jaune either was not very important which I highly doubt or he just wasn't exactly sure what he was sensing from Jaune or seeing in him. It's possible that he felt or saw something different about Jaune or the way he reacted but couldn't put his finger on it. It is odd that he didn't mention anything to Salem though but maybe Tyrian believes that it wouldn't interest her but he could be wrong.

I would think that it's probably only a problem for Ruby and maybe a few huntsman. After all Ruby was put ahead and I would think that the academies and combat schools should have taught their students how to fight without their weapons either before they got them or after. But yeah maybe he just thought Qrow was useless without his weapon which would be a wrong assumption as we have seen hunters who have fought without their weapons or have weapons which aren't really useful like Ren and Glynda.

True. Maybe he could have even sensed that Jaune was the weakest link and wondered why he was the fiercest in spite of it.

Yeah that is definitely interesting.

Yeah eyes are important but I think it meant like with Ruby's silver eyes and Yang's eyes turning red.

Speaking of which you might have heard of this but Tyrian's eyes actually change color during the fight. At first they are yellow but after he poisons Qrow they are purple.

Relics: I would guess that each relic has a unique power and that not all are meant for combat.

Summer might have had a few capes for Ruby though and maybe the dyed one of Summer's old ones but yeah she can have gotten it from Qrow. Maybe she might replace it down the line. Maybe even for her mother's cape.

Agreed.

Aura: Agreed

Yeah white reflects all colors of light. I don't think that it's meant to be foreshadowing for his semblance though because the shield wasn't made for him and I'm assuming that he probably has a unique semblance. It's pretty a coincidence.

Yeah why in the world would the Arcs trust Ozpin so much and why suddenly decided to stop training with Jaune's generation. Unless they wanted to purposefully make Jaune less useful to Ozpin so he wouldn't be in danger but if that's the case then why let him go to Beacon. And what does Ozpin have to gain from Jaune being untrained.

I've never heard those theories before. They sound really interesting. Considering the pride Jaune has in his family I'm not sure if he'd use a fake sure name or take his mom's last name unless she is the Arc in the family. Jaune does also say that an Arc never goes back on his word but he could have been keeping up appearances when he said that to Pyrrha. And he did mention how his mom thought that girls would like his name but maybe he said Arc for the same reason or maybe he took his mom's name just for Beacon. Also his shield does have two golden "arcs" which seem to be a reference to the famous name but that could be a coincidence or maybe the source of his fake name. They might use fake names especially considering how sheltered Jaune was. That would be an interesting family. Where all the members have different surnames and only the members of the family truly know their relatives. Yeah it doesn't seem like Remnant has a lot of celebrities.

True. It probably is important but not extremely. They wouldn't mention it for no reason but they haven't made even a reference to it since then.

Ozpin choosing the leaders: True Qrow does seem to do everything that Tai would be against.

Making Ruby leave and be bait.

Telling Yang where Raven is.

Qrow does care for them all and their safety as seen from his talk with Raven though. They are his family but I guess Qrow was looking at the bigger picture and what Ozpin wanted.

Raven's semblance: I haven't heard of those theories even. They are quite interesting. The vision semblance definitely fills in a lot of dots like the train scene and Raven knowing the bar Qrow was at but I guess she could have been following him.

That does seem very interesting. I'll check it out.

Ozpin letting Jaune sink or swim: True. Actually now that I think about it by Ozpin letting Jaune in to Beacon he actually was giving Jaune the perfect environment to either confront his weakness. Jaune would never have been able to stay in Beacon unless he made a decision and by Jaune coming so far already Ozpin would of course believe that Jaune would persevere. I think Ozpin wanted something to happen to Jaune so that he could confront himself but I'm not sure he specifically wanted the bullying to happen because like you said what would have happened if Cardin told Glynda. Also Cardin bullied Velvet as well and got away with it.

True.

The hardest part about coming up with theories is the fact that even though we can see connections between the maidens and volumes 1 and 2 they are just coincidences even though they feel so right.

I agree completely. They just gave Pyrrha the illusion of choice and in the end the plan still failed. I blame Ozpin more for the shortcomings that led to that situation than what he did when it happened. There were a lot of ways he could have prevented it but failed. It was an unethical and hard choice but the only one they really had. But still it should never have got to that point and Jaune doesn't know that.

True. It was less we believe you are next in line to receive the Fall maiden's powers and more we want to make you the next Fall maiden so do you want to help us or risk the lives of everyone.

True. He was a bit harsh on Qrow with that remark about him being useless as Qrow really do everything he could.

Maybe. So far a lot of the stories seem to be true. Maybe the two were fighting over control at that most or maybe he was distracted and thinking up a plan because he has a SEW now. But more likely it was something to do with the whole soul thing. You could be right.

Oscar and Jaune: Agreed.
