Um...hi. Since this is a well discussed topic (and it's hella long I fear I might loss my initial thoughts before I even get the chance to type it down) I'll say this first and...well, should it had been mentioned before, kindly ignore.

Or something.

But the first 15 or so comment didn't mention this, I feel, so I'm going to say this: I definitely get the whole Sakura (from Naruto) vibe from Jaune. Specifically, if we're talking about his would-be Semblance. Which I assume is the original questions?

Anyway, Pyrrha said that Jaune has a lot of Aura, right? And right from the bat, the moment after Pyrrha activated Jaune's Aura, we clearly saw the cut on his face rapidly healing till it's gone. And given the whole speech about how Aura is used to protect and defend oneselves yada yada yada, I feel like it's connected?

From the character I can say that, to me personally, I feel more of a healer/tank vibe. He's not really the one guy that you're putting in front to take hits from - Jaune's not Yang, he can't absorb and reflect attacks - but if his aura is in abundance, and that little show of Lie Ren holding off that attack from the King Taijitu is actually foreshadowing, then I think he's the guy that protects  the group. Probably similar to Yang in a sense, or to that guy from CFVY, Yatsuhashi. He'll be the one to charge first.

Also, back to my Sakura-similarity, I feel like his Semblance is more of a defensive type. Apart from his abundant Aura (and lack of control, which suggest there'll be further lessons on control/manipulation techniques *cross fingers*), his weapons of choice also suggest this. i mean, technically, he didn't choose this weapon. The sword and the shield is a hand-me-down. It's basically useless because in that time frame, people are making their own weapon with mind-blowing AoE and various forms, and there Jaune is - with a simple sword (that doesn't shoot *gasp*) and a shield. I feel like he'll be utilizing his Aura/Semblance more once he mastered them, and the lack of attacking power suggest that he's not the main attack force of the team, like, at all.

Another point that I thought about, regarding Jaune, is that I think he's the team strategist. You know, like he'll be the one to pour out the moves be all tactical and shit, even when they're on the moves or under attacks. This one, is probably because I'm reflecting on Captain America, which is like waaaay out of point it's ridiculous, but hey, I totally get that feel from Jaune. He's smart, as we've seen with the battle in V1 with the Death Stalker. Plus, he did survived getting that box full of wasps thingy. Also, didn't he managed to like, block Cardin's attack or something? But of course, that's his Aura, not his Semblance, and if what Pyrrha said is true, is not the same as Semblance, or rather is the step before Semblance.

Srry nt srry for the long post.

TL;DR: I think Jaune's Semblance will be defensive, as suggested by his Aura. He might have a more healer/tank role in the team. He's a natural tactical leader and a strategist. Definitely dumb because can't see Pyrrha salivating for him. *sigh*
