Oh that's what you meant. Yeah I could see the discrepancy of the power levels being solved that way but it raises another question.

Ozpin most likely had access to the relic that was hidden in the school. So why didn't he use it in his fight against Cinder? I guess he wasn't able to get to it during the fight and didn't want to risk loss it if he lost. But considering his intelligence he should have been able to manipulate the battle to get where he wants to be and get the relic. And the relic was just as much a viable option as using a maiden. Or maybe the relic in Vale isn't a combat oriented relic. Or maybe the relic for some extremely odd reason wasn't in Beacon because Qrow sure doesn't know where it is nor does it seem likely Salem has it.

Tyrian: Yep Tyrian was Salem's go to agent and he would be smart enough to know that Ruby would never travel unprotected. I'm not sure about him having bad eye sight though as that would be a disadvantage. I could see hand to hand combat surprising him though considering the world they live in. I think the whole way he leans in and everything is just his theatrical personality.

Maybe the transcripts were an excuse that his family made to try and prevent him from going to Beacon.

Interesting theory on the chess pieces. The people who picked them were the more dominant of the pair. Except in Ruby and Weiss' case. I don't think that those chess relics were the relics and there had to be more as we can assume that that is how all the teams were decided. Also I could see Ruby being the King piece as well considering how important her silver eyes are and that she still needs to learn how to use them she has to be protected. I don't know where that leaves Jaune though. Maybe a pawn considering he can be promoted as he still needs training before he can be useful to the team.

Yeah the number 4 comes up a lot.

About his family. We know that they are very loving towards Jaune so I could see them being overprotective of him.

I've heard of the theory that his sisters are a gender swapped versions of the seven ravens which would make sense considering that he is a gender swapped Joan of Arc. Maybe they are overprotective as he was born sickly as like in the story of the seven ravens. But maybe that would be too much borrowing from the original story as all the other characters don't have too much in common with the ones they are based on. That would mean Jaune would be the youngest while I could understand but I personally would like that he has some some older sisters and some younger.

I like the rainbow theory of his sisters better. That each of his sisters are named after colors of the rainbow in French and they are aged in the order of the colors. This was mean that Jaune would have a twin sister and be either tied for the third youngest or third oldest. If he has a twin maybe she's a huntsman prodigy as Jaune seems to act like he must be a hero/huntsman but from everything that we know of his family and what he has said they don't seem to want him to be a huntsman nor are pressuring him into continuing the family legacy.

Yeah that makes sense. He realized that mentioning his mom wasn't smooth.

I don't think that he would let his family think that he's dead as that would be torturous for them. But you are right in saying that he wouldn't want to leave his friends either after everything that happened.

I would say that he met them off screen or at least let them no that he was alright some how. But I don't think as overprotective as they seem to be that they would let him leave again considering everything that has happened and what he wants to do now.

Maybe he sent a letter or left a note if they lived in Vale.

What a shame though. It was have been a nice scene to see him writing a letter to his entire family kind of like how Ruby did to Yang. Or see him reunite with them but I guess RT is saving that for later. Maybe he'll write them once he is over Pyrrha's death.

There's no such thing as a sample size of one

It's an expression which means that you never base decisions on only one event or outcome or experiments or experience.

Ozpin making Jaune leader based on initiation would be considered using a sample size of one. Which is some that you should never do?

But then again maybe Ozpin knew better.

Also if anything the transcripts which are inconsistent with his performance is more suspect than having no transcripts. Blake didn't seem to have any true getting in but I'm guessing that that was Ozpin's as well.

Well he didn't really get in yet. There was still initiation. And his father probably knew about not needing transcripts. (Speaking of the transcripts I forgot to mention that one idea on Jaune being from Mistral is that it is pretty much the home of Remnant's black market so he called have got his transcripts from there. Personally I think it would be interesting if he got them from Roman but the transcripts does give him being from Mistral more credibility. But he technically could have gotten the faked transcripts from anywhere.) But he should have been interested in how Jaune got in. I would say that his family letting him go was more or less an empty gesture. They figured that by letting him go and telling him that no matter what he would be welcomed back Jaune would fail, get the hero thing out of his system and come back.

Getting in contact with Ruby: it had to be Qrow as JNR had no way of locating Ruby at all. And as seen in volume 4's teaser/trailer scrolls can still communicate but only over short distances. And Ruby was out of it for a while. If it was Ruby who got JNR together though after she left that would have been interesting to see.

But if it was Qrow then that would make Jaune's bait accusation extremely plausible.

The king giving up power: Maybe. Nad true the council doesn't seem to concern him.

Ozpin has had lifetimes to put all his pieces where he wants them. Making choices that won't show until the future so that he can use them then.

But remains the next in line for the soul succession isn't an infant. So it was take a year or two at most to convince the new one (Ozpin) to help him and return to his family and the monarchy.

To me that seems like a much easier choice.

True.
