If it's written somewhere that you can't expand your aura to be a protective barrier around you, let me know. Jaune doesn't even have to make up new tech that really extensive, I'm just saying he should learn to do something that decidely his own. A signature move maybe or a signature fighting style. In every fight he's been in has there ever been a time when Jaune did something and we all cheered and was like "that's Jaune's style!" No. Because all he does is block and swing a sword and flail all over the place making jokes or saying "this is crazy". We get it. You're in an anime inspired show with super powers and scary monsters. Now be useful. Live up to all this hype and waiting we get from Tyrian and Nikos' words about him. Talking about him having a lot of aura. And Tyrian singling him out. He's basically the fairy tale Prince Charming. Useless, and only showing up at the end to sweep the princess off her feet. Rarely helping with the problem. It's annoying. To say the least. http://www.thewritersjourney.com/hero's_journey.htm

I agree. Here is one interpretation of the "Hero's Journey". It may or may not apply to Jaune. Personally, I believe that Juane is at stage 5 but I am interested in other opinions.
