Volume 1
—Jaune assisting
Ruby Rose up from the ground
| “ |
Well the name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it. |
” |
—Jaune, introducing himself to Ruby
| “ |
My mom always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. |
” |
—Jaune, explaining to Ruby why he assisted her
| “ |
I'm a natural blond, you know. |
” |
| “ |
You know what else is great? Me. |
” |
—Jaune, hitting on Weiss
| “ |
Well, hot stuff, play your cards right, and maybe you could join up with the winning team. |
” |
| “ |
Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for Team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say? |
” |
—Jaune, trying to recruit Weiss into his
team
| “ |
Wait, come back! Who's gonna get me down from here?! |
” |
—Jaune, trying to ask for help from Weiss
| “ |
Of course I do. Do YOU know what Aura is? |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha after being questioned about his knowledge of
Aura
| “ |
It's like a forcefield! |
” |
—Jaune, sums up Aura
| “ |
Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for, like, maybe five more feet? |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha right before dropping the torch in water
| “ |
Soul crushing regret? |
” |
—Jaune, in response to Pyrrha
| “ |
Pyrrha! This is not the relic! It's not! |
” |
—Jaune, catching Weiss who fell from the
Nevermore's grip
| “ |
Run and live! That is an idea I can get behind! |
” |
—Jaune, giving his approval for Ruby's strategy
| “ |
Man, we gotta get over there! They need help! |
” |
—Jaune, telling Nora when to strike the scorpion
| “ |
Sheesh, what's with her? |
” |
—Jaune, about Weiss after she storms off
| “ |
Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look! |
” |
—Jaune, reassuring that he's fine
| “ |
It's not like he's only a jerk to me, he's a jerk to everyone. |
” |
—Jaune, describing Cardin
| “ |
Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a rough time right now. But I'm not that depressed! I can always be a farmer or something. |
” |
—Jaune, after Pyrrha shows him the roof for the first time
| “ |
I mean I didn't go to combat school! I didn't pass any tests! I didn't earn my spot at this academy! I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied! |
” |
| “ |
My father, my grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors! They were all heroes! I wanted to be one, too. I was just never good enough. |
” |
—Jaune, explaining to Pyrrha his motive for sneaking into Beacon
| “ |
I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero! |
” |
—Jaune, rejecting Pyrrha's help
| “ |
I'm tired of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while his friends fight for their lives! Don't you understand? If I can't do this on my own... then what good am I? |
” |
—Jaune, telling Pyrrha why he must prove himself alone
| “ |
You know, you're not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff. |
” |
—Jaune, on Ruby's advice
| “ |
I think I'm allergic to this stuff... |
” |
—Jaune, on his allergic reaction to the red sap
—Jaune, refusing to help Cardin get revenge on Pyrrha
| “ |
I don't care what you do to me... but you are not messing with my team. |
” |
—Jaune, defending his friends from Cardin
| “ |
Don't ever mess with my team - my friends - ever again. Got it? |
” |
—Jaune, intimidating Cardin after saving his life
| “ |
Pyrrha... I'm sorry. I was a jerk! You were only trying to be nice, and... I had all this stupid macho stuff in my head-- |
” |
—Jaune, apologizing to Pyrrha
Volume 2
| “ |
Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader! |
” |
—Jaune, to Weiss
| “ |
♫ Weiss Schnee, will you accompany me, to the dance on... Sunday! ♫ |
” |
| “ |
Oh please, if you don't get a date to the dance, I'll wear a dress. |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha
| “ |
Ren. I'm just gonna come out and say it. You are one of my best friends. These past few months, I feel like we really bonded... even though you don't say much. I mean, you're really quiet. To be perfectly honest, I don't know that much about you personally; but, darn it, I consider you to be the brother I never had! |
” |
—Jaune, explaining his friendship with Ren to the latter
| “ |
Nora! I said headphones on! |
” |
—Jaune, to Nora
| “ |
It's Weiss... I'm completely head over heels for her, and she won't even give me a chance. She's cold, but she's also incredible. She's smart, and graceful, and talented-- I mean have you heard her sing? I just wish she take me seriously, y'know? I wish I could tell her how I feel without messing it all up. |
” |
—Jaune, telling Ren about his crush on Weiss
| “ |
To the socially awkward. |
” |
—Jaune, making a toast with Ruby
| “ |
Do you even care about the girls you're hitting on? How they feel about you? |
” |
| “ |
Then just go talk to her. No pickup lines, no suave moves, just be yourself. I've heard that's the way to go. |
” |
—Jaune, encouraging Neptune to be honest to Weiss
| “ |
Hey, an Arc never goes back on his word. |
” |
—Jaune, in response to Pyrrha's disbelief at his choice of attire
| “ |
We're changing our mission. Everyone on board! |
” |
—Jaune, responding to the sirens
Volume 3
| “ |
If I barf, I'm blaming you... |
” |
—Jaune, after his meal with JNPR and RWBY
| “ |
Ren! Nora! Flower Power! |
” |
—Jaune, trying to get his team to end the battle
| “ |
Nora, just hit them with the hammer. |
” |
—Jaune, to Nora
| “ |
You were the first person to ever believe in me, you know that? Even when I told my parents I was going to Beacon, they told me not to worry if I ended up having to move back home. How depressing is that? |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha
| “ |
I guess... I'm just trying to say that... you've always been there for me... even when I didn't deserve it. And I can tell there's something on your mind, so... I don't know. How can I help? |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha
| “ |
The Pyrrha Nikos I know would never back down from a challenge. And if you really believe it's your destiny to save the world... you can't let anything stand in your way. |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha
| “ |
Pyrrha, please snap out of it! |
” |
—Jaune, to Pyrrha
| “ |
What would this school need to... hide? |
” |
—Jaune, questioning Pyrrha
| “ |
No. No, Pyrrha, you can't. You saw how powerful she is! Pyrrha, I won't let you do- |
” |
—Jaune, protesting to Pyrrha
| “ |
Pyrrha! She's going after that woman at the top of the tower! She doesn't stand a chance! |
” |
—Jaune, pleading to Weiss and Ruby
| “ |
I know. It's the only way we have. |
” |
—Jaune, to Ruby
Volume 4
| “ |
I'm just tired of losing everything. |
” |
—Jaune to Ruby, after seeing the destruction of Shion village
| “ |
He was using you as bait. |
” |
| “ |
Well, you are just a real bundle of help, aren't you? |
” |
—Jaune, to Qrow after learning his
Semblance is misfortune
| “ |
No, we're supposed to stick together! We keep each other safe! |
” |
—Jaune, protesting that RNJR split
| “ |
Just take care of each other. |
” |
—Jaune, saying goodbye to Ren and Nora
—Jaune, to Ruby about Ren and Nora's safety
| “ |
Ruby. We lost... We lost Pyrrha. You lost her, too. And Penny, and your team, and in a way... your sister. But you're still here, despite everything you've lost, everything you could still lose, you chose to come out here, because you felt like you could make a difference. You didn't drag us along, you gave us the courage to follow you. |
” |
—Jaune, reassuring a distraught Ruby
Volume 5
| “ |
What is wrong with you? How can you be so broken inside... to take so many lives, and then come here and rub it in our faces like it's something to be proud of?! All with that damn smile on your face! |
” |
—Jaune, to Cinder
| “ |
If I die buying them time, then it's worth it. They're the ones that matter. |
” |
—Jaune about sacrificing his life for his friends' safety, to Cinder
| “ |
No, it wasn't supposed to be like this! Please! We can't lose anyone else... |
” |
—Jaune, shortly before he unlocks his
Semblance
| “ |
Pyrrha once told me I've got a lot of it. I still believe her. |
” |
—Jaune, to Nora about his Aura
| “ |
Heh, good to have you back, Weiss. |
” |
—Jaune, after Weiss regains consciousness
Volume 6
| “ |
Well, it was, until Mantle showed up. Early settlement attempts by Mistral didn't go well. But colonists from Mantle were able to help them brave the cold climate and return for goods that Solitas couldn't provide. |
” |
—Jaune, to everyone about Mantle
| “ |
With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship. |
” |
—Jaune, to everyone about stealing an Atlas airplane
Volume 7
| “ |
Yeah, well, that's just kind of our style. |
” |
—Jaune, to Elm and Vine
| “ |
Oh, the way you took down that Geist without needing to plan your tactics out, you just knew exactly what to do! |
” |
—Jaune, to Clover
| “ |
Wha-- But-- Why didn't I get a choice for that one? |
” |
—Jaune, to everyone
| “ |
Well, you really had us on our toes. Thought you had us there for a second, whew! |
” |
—Jaune, to Team FNKI
Volume 8
| “ |
Then let's go for both. Get Amity up and running and evacuate Mantle. |
” |
—Jaune, to everyone
| “ |
Way better than a hover bike. |
” |
—Jaune, about his Shield grenade
| “ |
But Grimm aren't that smart? |
” |
| “ |
You're right, Ren. I… I did cheat my way into Beacon. And I'm glad that I had people around me to help me see that I was bigger than that mistake. You've got people around you too. You don't have to force yourself to be strong. The more you hide from what you're feeling, the more alone you're going to feel. Trust me. |
” |
—Jaune, to Ren
| “ |
Ruby is your sister, she's always going to love you even if you disagree with each other. |
” |
—Jaune, to Yang about Ruby
| “ |
Thanks. I just have a bad feeling. Things always seem to get worse before they get better. |
” |
—Jaune, to Yang
| “ |
Are you serious right now!? There are people in danger. |
” |
—Jaune, to the Ace Ops
| “ |
Please, Winter, give us a chance to try to rescue him first! We... We could be your test run. You don't know what'll be waiting for you inside, right? So we can go ahead to check it out, and look for Oscar while we're inside. |
” |
—Jaune begs
Winter Schnee to let them search for a missing Oscar.
| “ |
Hey, you don't have to drain yourself. I can help too. |
” |
—Jaune, to Ren
| “ |
Would've gone with "keep moving forward," but sure. Ren? |
” |
—Jaune, to Ren and Yang
| “ |
Ah ha! Ha ha! Uh...All water under the bridge, buddy! Ha ha! I'm uh...Gonna go see if Klein needs any help with Penny. |
” |
—Jaune, to Ren and Nora
| “ |
We've been so worried about keeping the Vault closed that we never considered using what's inside. |
” |
—Jaune realizes what Ruby's plan is
| “ |
Okay, then let's use the Staff to teleport everyone to safety. Maybe even to another Kingdom. |
” |
—Jaune aids in formulating a plan
| “ |
Okay, we can do this. Nora and I will get people through the gates. Everyone else, keep to your roles. Remember, the evacuation is priority one no matter what else happens. |
” |
—Jaune's motivations stay true
—Jaune reminds Nora to save the civilians when Cinder attacks
| “ |
We need to go... Now. |
” |
—Jaune, to Winter
About Jaune
| “ |
There's always Jaune... he's nice... he's funny... I don't think he's very good in a fight though... |
” |
—Ruby, thinking about Jaune
| “ |
I want you to know that I'm proud of you. I've never met someone so determined to better themselves. You've grown so much since we started training, and I know this is just the beginning. Jaune, I-I... I want you to know that I'm just happy to be a part of your life. I'll always be here for you, Jaune. |
” |
—Pyrrha, in a video she recorded for Jaune's training
| “ |
Jaune's like you! He hasn't found his Semblance yet, but we all know he will. And you will, too. We all just have to try and help each other get stronger. |
” |
—Ruby, describing Jaune to Oscar
—Cinder, callously dismissing Jaune's rage
| “ |
I'm starting to remember you. You're the dense one that can't tell when he's out of his league. |
” |
—Cinder, to Jaune
| “ |
Did you think you actually had a chance against me?! YOU?! |
” |
—Cinder, livid at Jaune wounding her pride
| “ |
You're just a failure with a death wish. |
” |
—Cinder, to Jaune
| “ |
It's totally the haircut. |
” |
—Nora, about Jaune's haircut during his Huntsman job in "
Sparks"
| “ |
There's no fear at all. I can see it, he believes we're going to get this done. |
” |
—Ren, about Jaune in "
Witch"
