Don't be mean, Jaune went in not aware of the performance level required to be at an advanced academy. So the first volume was one long catch-up session. We expect more from the buffer tank now though.

I think it's invulnerability. Crwby already confirmed that we've seen his semblance before. This is what came to mind when I heard so.

Since when does aura cause it to hut when you punch someone? Plus, according to Death Battle, aura can heal minor wounds.

Hm, maybe it's some kind of a barrier ability, and what Cardin experienced was the kinetic energy of his punch getting sent right back at him?

Have play RWBY:GE yet? Jaune ultimate skill is buff....yes he can buff his team and friends.

i feel the buff thing is a placeholder until they reveal his semblance comletely

I think it's a supreme healing ability.

Healing?? By that you mean he can heal his team and his friends to?

Well he did regenerate from that scar he got from Cardin in Volume 1, almost instantly.

As I stated in my own reply (not sure if it showed up in your notification center) I think it's actually invulnerability. Since aura is able to heal minor wounds anyway and I have yet to see another case of aura making it hurt to punch someone.

Oh! Remember now!!!.......but is that not aura do anyway???......but than again he get up right away after Got Got by Cinder fireball tho.

When Juane finally awakens his Semblance, it better be DAMN worth the wait.
My hope is that RT takes a page out of Dragon Ball Super for Juane

Although it would be a waste if they kill him off beforehand

Nah, she's got the boob window. It's Power Girl.

I'm pretty sure that Ruby's new costume is something to do with her discovering her new power: Hard landing = trashed old costume.

I might be totally alone on this one, but a lot of people theorized that jaune's semblance is defensive of some sort. I personally theorize that it could be something unique, instead of like a physical ability like other semblance, it could be the power to inspire an entire army to follow him. So much inspiration that whichever army is supported by jaune will practically have victory in their hands, with each soldiers and huntsman having their physical abilities boosted thanks to his semblance. I don't know, it's a really stupid idea.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not stupid, it's actually a great idea!!! It would be amazing to see something like that happen *.*

well, I'm just glad that at least one person thinks so. xP thanks, lol

Being that he is based on Joan of Arc, I imagine/hope his semblance resembles angel wings or some king of 'light' powers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My favourite theory is that he'll still be able to talk to Pyrrha. Mostly because I miss Pyrrha.
But I personally believe his Semblance is just protection when he's resolved to protect others. I just don't think it's that strong yet because he has trained that muscle (using it once by accident) like Weiss's summoning.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, he could use his wings as a sort of protection. Like folding his wings over his body as a sort of shield.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm hoping that his semblance is like a learning ability to use others, that he can even use two semblance at once for combo moves
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
No, that wouldn't work and would be OP. With each characters' semblance going m hand in hand with their fighting style, it wouldn't look good or play well with Jaune's being basic (and bland), none of the "combos" would work or be creative as they are with the others. What would Jaune do with Ruby's Speed? Swing his sword faster. Blake's clones? Make a copy of himself and attack with his generic sword and shield. That's it. There's nothing creative about Jaune's style that would make that copying work. It worked for a character like Kise (Kuroko no Basket) because he didn't have a personal style of his own based on original techniques, but copying others' abilities and making them a part of own his style. Not to mention each semblance is supposed to be unique to the individual and/or their family since it's a part of their soul, so even the show's logic rejects that idea because in order for Jaune to copy a semblance, he would need to copy that person's soul/Aura - which is impossible.
Though it would be funny to me if his semblance was that since it would represent how unoriginal his character is, especially if he copied Ruby's Speed since it would point out even more how much his character is unneeded since it's similar to Ruby's. But to each their own.

His character is a contrast to Ruby. He's honest like her, but he's also got a dishonest side that she doesn't have (transcripts to Beacon, which I doubt Ozpin doesn't know and lets him in not because his apparently comparatively large aura reserve even to academy standards, rather if he survived than he made it, good for him. If he doesn't it'll be a warning against cheating into Beacon). Yet in some ways he is also more expressive in dealing with his grief, don;t gt me wrong he bottles it up sometimes but Ruby is far worse in this regard. He's someone who could be a decent huntsman if only his family (who could be heroes in the local sense, thus why none knows about the Arcs) let him go to Combat School. Pyrrha, as V4C2 reminds us, is the first person who ever has faith in him. His parents didn't even have faith in him because they didn't send him to Combat School. We also see Ruby is his bestie (as stated in an RTX) simply because they unwind from the craziness of their peers, their mutual social awkwardness, their goofiness, and the fact they see each others as an equal (Ruby only did at post-Jaundice tho, Pyrrha stays the one who believed in him).
He's the weak guy we laugh at while thinking we're better than him. That's one of his role, which speaks of how pathetic I and some others are when we do, because the guy has extreme dedication to get better (though without Pyrrha he;s going to go at it in a wrong way simplyKinda pathetic, until his very incremental development in the future shows us how much he's grown. His MC-like traits when in fact he's merely the side character lead of team RWBY's sidekick team is made to reinforce Ruby's status as a main character, and a leader, because of how flawed he is compared to Ruby.

I don't quite agree with that post, but I agree with the core message: Jaune is made not to be ersatz-MC, but to be Ruby's contrast. His screen time complaints are legitimate in parts but often exaggerated (see V2 and V3 Jaune. Hell V1 outside Jaundice too). He has those scenes in V4 because he becomes temporary deuteragonist to Ruby, further showing her and his growth as characters and leaders (let's face it, out of RWBY Ruby has the least character changes).
On his semblance I suspect it's not going to be quite straightforward (but will seem so at the reveal), and powerful only if used in the right way and in the right situation. He's a dense guy but as seen in V1 initiation he actually has tactical acumen directing the skills and observations of those around him (NPR). His baaad communication skill leads him to have obstacles in communicating his plans (doesn't help in Vytal Tournament JNPR has a Champion more used to going solo even if she studied in Sanctum Combat School in Mistral and Nora and Ren who did their own thing), but his plans are actually sound (when he expands his plan after the 'hit it harder' phase in V4C1 it is basic but clever, destroying the Geist's methods to protect it's vulnerable core). It's probably some kind of damage reflection but needs certain timing or power to do it. Not something easy to use unless you sharpen your mind.

I'm surprised you managed to write a small essay about a subject that wasn't even my main focus and only mentioned. Yes, I said that Jaune's quite similar to Ruby, which he still is and even you say why in the first paragraph, but what I was focusing on is the idea of his semblance being able to copy others' semblances and at it doesn't for his fighting style, creativity, and the logic in that's set in RWBY's world.
Now as my response to this, yes he has a dishonest side and you're the first person to offer any logical explanation as to why Ozpin, a highly intellectual individual, would allow Jaune to attend Beacon. However, I feel like you're dismissing Ruby's as you ignore the possibility that her character doesn't dwell in grief after the loss of life after experiencing with the death of her mother and learned to instead move forward in life in memory of them. Not to mention you're completely using assumption that Jaune's parents didn't send him to a combat school when there's no evidence of that, you're basically trying to add a story element as canon when it isn't. Until we see or hear from the show that Jaune's parents refused to allow him to go to a combat school, you're argument doesn't have any support other than Jaune said they'll be ready to welcome him back to their home - and that's not them stopping Jaune, that them saying "if you fail, you're alway welcome back home." As for him being a decent Huntsman, I would agree with you if it weren't for the fact his motivation is selfish. You see, in his little rant back in Vol. 1, Jaune goes on about how his family has a line of Hunters and how he wants to be a hero and the success of that. Jaune's basically saying he wants to be Huntsman not because he wants to help people or make the world better, he wants to become wants to be a Huntsman so he may have and feel the glory of a Hero that comes with the job. He wants to be a glory hound. I almost want to say he feels entitled of being a Huntsman because the main reason he wants this is because of Arc family line, and could be entiltlemeat because he may've not even trained at all - I say that as he didn't even know what Aura was back in Vol.1, which is basically a need for a person to become a Hunter. Though that's still speculation since we don't know what he was doing before he cheated into Beacon, so I can't say he is entitled. And what? Ruby did see Jaune as an equal before Jaunicide as she does nothing but respect him as a friend and not once looked down at him. But yea, I agree him and Ruby are best friends because they're similar, and that's all I see where there relationship can go as there isn't any major there characters offers each other if they were a couple.
Yea, I know Jaune's the basic cliche combo of "Liar-Lair" and "Clumsy Underdog." Though until Pyrrha finally started training him, Jaune didn't have any dedication what so ever, him sleeping during class being a fine testament of his laziness before two good characters (Ruby and Pyrrha) actually helped him (Ruby's advice and Pyrrha full on training).
Now, about Ruby having the least character changes, that's because the show's writing sucks. I say this because of two reasons: "too many characters and so little time" and "missed opportunity." RWBY kept trying to fit in side characters as main characters, mainly as Jaune and SSSN. Instead of focusing on the main characters, Team RWBY, RT kept forcing those side characters in. Here's a question: why should Jaune be in RWBY? Yes, he's somewhat of a contrast to Ruby, but what's the point of that? He has offered nothing to the main story or any character development to the main cast. Instead of focusing on a side character that has no relation to what was going on with the main cast or the antagonist, we should've seen more of the main cast developing as individuals and as a team. For example, instead of Jaunicide, we should've seen Ruby develop more as a leader by having her social awkwardness be a problem when she's trying to connect more with Blake and Weiss, resulting in the team having coordination issues. In order to solve this, Yang comes up with the idea of the team spending a day to hang out and know each other more and to help Ruby break out of her awkwardness more. The pay off being they start working on their combos and tactics and we see the pay off in Vol. 2 and 3. Another idea for Vol.2, instead of having Jaune be hurt over Weiss despite the fact she was a bitch to him and made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him, the focus should've been on Weiss and how Ruby helps her after being rejected by Neptune. While I see no logical reason for Weiss to like him, for her to face rejection would've been great for her character as she's prideful and for Ruby to help her would've been perfect as would've see how Ruby's maturing as a person, Weiss learning not to be anchored by rejection and should move forward with her friends, and would strengthen Ruby and Weiss' relationship as both friends and partners. So regardless weather or not Jaune's a good character, the fact that the show gave him that much screentime only blocked the possible character development and interactions for Team RWBY. Though I personally feel the pinnacle of the show's missed opportunity isn't because of Jaune, but complete ignorance of the writers, that pinnacle being the end of Vol. 2. Why? Because Team RWBY failed their first mission horribly, and it offered a lot. Ruby failed to stop that train, resulting in Vale suffering damage and people's lives being in danger, she should feel bad.. Weiss lost to a random nobody with a chainsaw, she should feel dishonored from a lost (even if the fight's results were completely forced). Blake failed to stop the White Fang again, she should feel responsible as she should've expected something like it since she was once a part of the terrorist group. Yang didn't land one punch on Neo, she should feel like a total loser. That entire incident and the results should've hit Team RWBY and give them all character development, but instead it's all completely shrugged off. So the reason why Ruby hasn't had a lot of character development not because of her character, but because of the misuse of screentime and missed opportunities. As for Jaune being a temporarily deuteragonist for Vol. 4, I can agree with that because he's now a part of the main story and (hopefully) offers something to it.
Yea, it's probably something like a barrier of sorts. Maybe compliments his shield.

Thank you for your insightful reply. And yeah, the Breach and its aftermath was kinda a huge missed opportunity for RWBY character development. CFVY stole the show big time.
I would hate for him to have a copy semblance too. I would want for him to have a semblance that makes him a useful sidekick to the main characters and his teammates, and also use what the writers wrote for his role: a tactical mind. RT needs more work on these fronts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem. And yea, everyone was so happy to see new characters that they forgot the more important element: character development for the titular character.
The best thing I could think of that goes well with a tactical mind is maybe something like the Emperor's Eyes (Kuroko no Basket) as it would allow Jaune to predict the future and his opponent's attacks, thus plan accordingly. It would be the best option since Jaune far from being someone like Shikamaru (Naruto) and would need something like that since Jaune only comes up with ideas, not actual tactics. While he figured out the Ghist's weakness, that tactic he came up with was "hit it hard." Other than that, his semblance more than likely gonna be a barrier or something.

*eye twitches* Again with the walls of text, man!? It's starting to feel like you're the Trump of grammar and paragraph structuring with this shit!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like Trump? So I'm a superior speaker? Thanks! Though unlike Trump, I'm actually consistent with what I'm saying and have an overall point. Plus it's not an official essay or paper or story, so I don't care about how I structure my paragraphs. But if you want, think of it as a test of surviving the great mountains that is my opinion. ):3
