I don't think a training montage it's going to work because Jaune has no time for training. The festival is a few months away and everyone at Beacon was accepted because they have been training since childhood. Just look at Pyrrha, she won a tournament four years in a row and she's 17. That means, she began training when she was 13 years old or even before that.

The students at Beacon are the best of the best, Ruby got in because she's at their level even when she's 2 years younger. But Jaune never received any type of training, he doesn't even knew that aura existed.

I think the wikia is overstating his defensive skills, the only thing Jaune has proved during his fights it's that he has no kind of strength, he managed to stop a hit from a deathstalker but the next attack make him lose his balance, sending him to the floor. Then Cardin knocked him away along with his shield.

His offensive skills are very poor compared to the main cast, when Jaune attacked the Deathstalker, he lost his balance and almost fell. When he fought Cardin, his attacks were too slow and predictable that Cardin just stepped aside to dodge and counter.

Everything points that Jaune is going to be kicked out soon from the series by getting expelled or even killed... BUT he's getting too much protagonism for that, he's going to become a badass fighter and leader in the future, he has to. So I'm aiming for some kind of Super Saiyan power that makes him stronger enough to match his friends. And then, when the festival is over, after a Long training montage with Pyrrha (almost a year), and study sessions with Ren, nobody will complain about his ineptitude.
