Maybe if Jaune's next romance actually gets somewhere people will be able to let go of Pyrrha. So here's the question: Lancaster, Black Knight, or White Knight? At the risk of descending into shipping wars...

The only one I can see working is Lancaster, since Ruby and Jaune have prior history and common ground (both lost someone close to them, both team leaders, etc). Coming from the opposite direction, if they do plan on having a big end-game love interest for Ruby, the main character, I honestly can't think of anyone other than Jaune, unless they introduce someone new (which would be awful). It'd explain why he's gotten so much screen time, too.

It would also have some interesting parallels with Tai and Summer being together. Beyond the obvious color scheme parallels, Ruby would be Jaune's second serious "relationship" in the same way Summer was Tai's. I could see that sorta being foreshadowing...?

I'd actually be happy if Jaune didn't get a new romance arc after Pyrrha. It's probably the wrong lesson to teach about mortality and coming to terms with it, but the whole notion of "the sun has set, no candle can replace it" seems kind of appropriate here. It'd also be a total slap in the face to Arkos and Pyrrha fans to kill her off and then to see Jaune paired off with another character.
