So I'd posted this as a comment in a couple threads, but I've decided to share it here as a theory, because it is.

After watching Volume 3, I recently re-watched Volumes 1 and 2. After re-watching the entire series, I've gotten the impression the Ruby and Jaune are building up to be the big romance in the show (and I'm gonna start calling them Crimson Shield...unless a ship name already exists).

Re-watching the series from the beginning, Jaune spends more time with Ruby than any other character in the show.... with the exception of Pyrrha. Based on their scenes so far, I'd even argue Ruby is Jaune's best friend (with Pyrrha being his first romance and Ren and Nora being his teammates and friends)

I'm not dissing Jaune x Pyrrha, I actually liked their relationship. Ruby and Jaune would both be devastated by Pyrrha's death (I'm using future tense because we haven't seen Jaune react to it yet), and I believe her death will serve as the catalyst for them growing even closer until their bond changes into something romantic.
