Tyrian: Yep but we don't know exactly what Tyrian's plans are with Jaune. I think he just has a feeling but can't explain why. Tyrian doesn't seem to want to kill Jaune but I could see him beating him to a pulp to test him. Maybe Tyrian will be the one to force Jaune's semblance out again. But if he is around Jaune why wouldn't he instead go after Ruby to try and please Salem and get revenge for her cutting off his stinger. I don't see RNJR splitting up any time soon unless Jaune heads to Pyrrha's parents alone and Tyrian doesn't feel up to fighting RNR and Qrow despite doing really well last time.

The thing about Tyrian and Jaune is that Jaune will always be around Ruby who is a priority to Salem so unless Salem specifically orders Tyrian to not go after Ruby I wonder how they will interact.

Ozpin did warn Oscar to be on guard implying that Hazel might know something but maybe Ozpin was just shocked to see Hazel.

True.

True. I guess Qrow didn't need any fancy moves and has probably had some experience with fist fights.

I would say it depends on how they decided to train. Ruby wanted to emulate Qrow so only knows how to use a scythe and gun. For example Jaune despite being trained by Pyrrha the invincible girl would probably be even more useless than Ruby without Crocea Mors as Ruby still has her semblance.

Eyes/Souls/Powers: Well I'd imagine that sometimes your Aura or semblance as it's a part of you would sometimes have a mind of its own and will act out as we've seen with Weiss, Yang, Jaune, Klein and Neo. From what we've seen it does look like your emotional state can activate or effect your powers without your consent.

Aura: Shield/Force field basically the San thing. Yeah I believe they said that the moment with Cardin was the first hint at Jaune's semblance.

One: True. We can't get a really good idea on what kind of place he lived in because he seems to have been away from every everything but he's close enough to get a famous cereal like you send and have a dependable mail system as that is how he got his hoodie. His family pretty wasn't the only protectors of where they lived, that would make it seem like they were the lords or knights of the town which I doubt. In outside settlements everyone would probably have to wait together. Also wherever Jaune is from he must have been decently protected considering he doesn't know much about Grimm. Its also odd that his parent(probably father) who is probably a huntsman didn't tell her about aura. Also how come he didn't find a way to unlock it before Beacon. I guess he Jaune really didn't know anything about Aura.

Two: Agreed. Jaune was thrust into a world that he barely understands.

I don't think that RT will follow the stories closely as from every other character we can see that they don't.

Qrow and Tai: Tai doesn't seem to be in the loop so he only has his suspicions so that could be why he isn't angry at either yet. The story does seem to imply that Salem's faction took care of Summer as she's the only SEW we know besides Ruby.

I do think Ironwood knew about Ruby being a SEW. Also he was saying that to everyone and not Ruby specifically. All the students were facing a losing battle so it would make sense to try and evacuate them as they are the future. Ozpin may not have left the tower but he really didn't help. I guess he stalled Cinder for a little while but that was it and she didn't seem likely she herself was going to go and actively hurt anyone. That was what the dragon Grimm was for. Maybe.

Raven's semblance: I would believe that the tribe can all turn into birds as it seems odd that both Raven and Qrow can do it. To me it seems more like it that the tribe isn't related to them by blood but took them in and raised them so maybe it's some kind of magic art they teach their members or they parents were part of the tribe but died when they were infants. I feel this as Raven mentions that the tribe raised them and are their family and Qrow responds that she has a messed up meaning of the word family. Why not mention it if the tribe was their flesh and blood.

Ozpin letting Jaune Sink or Swim: True.

Yeah judging by their character a few of them should have reacted.

Pyrrha: I guess that she's too nice so she wouldn't do something if Jaune says don't do it.

Nora: She did want to help which makes sense consider her past but I find it odd that she just didn't go and help instead of suggesting help.

Ren: Did nothing. I agree that him not doing anything is shocking because of what his father said and considering he was being bullied like Nora but not as severely. Considering what we learned about him I was think he would tolerate bullying the least. Maybe he wanted Jaune to learn to act instead of just letting it happen to him.

Weiss: Yep makes perfect sense and shows some good character growth with how she acts later on.

Blake: Yeah she would care much about what happens to Velvet than Jaune but you would still think that she wouldn't tolerate people because picked on wether Faunus or not. But like you said she probably won't do anything for fear of being bullied or letting her secret out. And she has no reason to care for Jaune. Also now humans stood up for Velvet a Faunus so why should Blake stand up for a human. I guess she could to be the bigger person though.

Yang: Well she doesn't really care for Jaune. Had it been someone she cared for then she would be over there in a heartbeat.

Ruby: I also feel that out of everybody present she she have been the one to do something. Not only is she all about helping people but Jaune was her first friend in Beacon. He literally picked her up what she was down. She did give him advice later though but I think she should have acted sooner. I do feel that Ruby should not have stood up to Cardin for Jaune though. How bad would it have made Jaune feel if someone else especially someone two years younger than him who shouldn't even be in Beacon came to fight his battles for him. Ruby would either go to Jaune and talk to him which she does or seek advice from Ozpin as he helped her out when she was questioning wether she should be leader or not. She could have went to see Ozpin offscreen but I think they would have showed us if she did.

Also the teams were just formed so I guess JNPR didn't form strong enough bonds yet for them to stand up for Jaune even if it goes against their character. The same could be said of RWBY as Ruby is the only one who is friends with Jaune but even then they did just become friends but it still kind of goes against Ruby's character. In all honesty since JNPR aren't the main focus we didn't really get to see them grow closer together like with RWBY. We also didn't see much of Ruby and Jaune interacting and in my opinion offscreen interactions usually aren't noteworthy or meaningful and personally I'm more a fan of show and don't tell.

Yeah it's definitely an interesting plot line and more information would tell us a lot more about how the characters think and feel. I remember hearing that there was a movie theater exclusive scene that helped bridge Jaundice and Forever Fall but I don't think it had anything too important in it.

I don't think that we're ever going to get more information or scenes about it though. That was way back in volume 1 so what's done is done I guess.

Oscar and Jaune: Jaune definitely had to get money somehow to pay for those fake transcripts. Maybe he helped out on a farm where he lived or tried training himself to get stronger before Beacon. He quite honestly did really good in Beacon considering his situation I'd imagine most people would do far worse. His family doesn't seem to have trained him so I don't know where he would have gotten his strength and stuff from. Maybe all he did was what is capable of a normal person with Aura? Most of his feats of strength were after Pyrrha started training him though.
