Hey everyone this is Hailey from Cartoon Universe and this is exactly what you think it is-
a RWBY video!
I got into this show pretty recently and let me just say that I absolutely love it.
I have become very passionate about the world of Remnant and all its characters.
I'm only disappointed I did not watch this show sooner!
Yes, the show does have its flaws, but I always try to focus more on the aspects of shows
that make me excited and want to keep watching.
Which brings me to one of my favorite characters in the entire series, Jaune Arc.
Just a warning that if you don't like Jaune this is probably not the video for you to
watch.
But don't worry, as I will be making more RWBY videos in the future!
So, there's a lot of things I like about this character, but most of all it is seeing just
how much he has grown since the beginning of the show.
In the beginning he was quite unlikable, but he has definitely changed for the better.
This includes him getting not only an upgraded weapon, but also the reveal of his semblance!
But another part of why I like him so much is that he has a lot of qualities that I find
quite relatable.
He started out at Beacon knowing practically nothing yet through persevering has learned
so much.
And feeling inadequate about being let in to a certain place is definitely relatable.
Although to be fair Jaune did literally cheat his way in, sooo there's that.
But there might actually be some importance to that fact, which I will get into later.
But regardless of your views on him as a character, it is clear that Jaune has become a lot stronger
since we first met him.
In fact, this video centers around Jaune potentially being one of the strongest characters in the
show and having more importance than might initially be believed.
Which is of course by itself a very ridiculous thought.
Jaune is the epitome of an average character.
Not only looks-wise, he even has only a sword and shield instead of a weapon which is also
a gun.
And at the beginning of the series he was constantly being saved and taught by Pyrrha,
showing just how unexperienced he was.
But what he does have more than any other character is natural talents and abilities
that allow him to quickly catch up to and even surpass some of his peers.
In Volume 1 Chapter 6: The Emerald Forest, we learn that Jaune literally knows nothing
about aura.
Pyrrha teaches him the basics and then unlocks his.
We also learn he has a lot of aura.
And at first, he is pretty terrible when it comes to combat training.
But then in Forever Fall part 2 when he needs to save his friends from an Ursa, he kills
it with one swing of his sword.
All it really took was friends that believed in him.
After that he is pretty consistent with being able to defend himself and kill Grimm.
Of course, his sword could simply be super sharp, but his strength definitely has something
to do with it.
And in the Tournament arc he even launched Pyrrha super high into the air with his shield.
So we know that he quickly gets really strong, even more so than characters known for strength
that have been training their whole lives for this.
What about speed?
Well, with his upgraded sword he can now swing fast enough to creates gusts of wind.
This is of course in volume 4, so he has been training for a while, but regardless he has
definitely caught up to everyone else.
Another thing that he is naturally inclined to is being a strategist.
Figuring out ways to defeat an enemy is definitely a good thing for a leader.
He didn't always feel like a good fit for the role, but once the position was thrust
upon him he managed to make it work.
Now let's talk about his aura.
As Pyrrha told us a long time ago, he has a lot of it.
His aura has never broken unlike pretty much every other character.
But that's not all.
Cardin literally punches Jaune in the face in Forever Fall part 2.
And not only does Cardin have to wince back in pain from Jaune's aura blocking the punch,
but Jaune's bruise is gone after activating his aura at that moment.
This is very similar to how he gets healed when he unlocks his aura for the first time
and his cut is healed.
Aura in general has the power to do this, but his goes above and beyond what we have
seen from everyone else in the show.
And finally, there is his semblance.
Which has the potential to bring him to a more overpowered state than before.
I have not been in the RWBY fandom for long, but apparently in the official game Grimm
Eclipse, Jaune's semblance was more or less spoiled.
The game calls these ultimates, and Jaune is able to create a multiplier for his team
that boosts things such as speed, damage given, and can even heal.
The damage given boost can even go up 100% once upgraded.
This makes him quite overpowered, to say the least.
Yet here we are in the show recently learning that his semblance is in fact aura amplification,
which has a striking resemblance to this ultimate.
There is a lot of speculation currently on what exactly his semblance entails but as
we have seen being able to boost not only a team mate's aura but also the strength of
their semblance is incredibly useful.
It can also be used on himself, which he was unknowingly doing before he officially unlocked
it.
So let's take the one example we have seen in the show of his semblance being used on
others.
This is of course in Volume 5 when Weiss gets impaled and almost dies.
Jaune officially unlocked his semblance as he struggled to save her.
And we can see his aura help strengthen hers so she is able to heal from her life-threatening
wound with no scar left.
Compare this to Weiss getting hurt in the White trailer, where this scar she received
being a permanent feature on her face from this moment forward.
Back to her being aura boosted by Jaune, she is now able to summon a Lancer Queen, which
is a much harder feat than simply summoning a regular Lancer, and she was able to summon
it extremely fast.
The abilities of her aura being amplified temporarily are extremely evident, so there
is no saying what else Jaune may be able to do for the abilities of his other teammates.
And over time it could even grow stronger with him being able to amplify the aura of
his whole team instead of just one person at a time while being very close to them.
Most importantly of all, he has a lot of aura, so this does not weaken him too much even
after helping heal another person from near death.
So... all of these things combined make for an extremely powerful warrior.
Now then, it is quite confusing why he never went to combat school like everyone else despite
wanting to always become a hunter like his ancestors.
If he had the training that everyone else did, he could have been on the same level
as Pyrrha when he went to Beacon.
I don't want to get into why his parents never taught him about being a hunter or why he
didn't learn even about aura from whatever school he went to in this video, but I admit
that there are some major plot holes concerning that and his family history.
But I definitely am curious as to why he was let into Beacon, even if he did fake his transcripts.
I believe that Ozpin knew that there was something about Jaune that made him special.
Oz has been around for a long, long time.
Meaning that he most likely knew about the Arc family, especially since they fought in
the Great War.
But I think it goes even deeper than that.
As we know, the Great War ended 80 years before the start of the show.
This end was brought about by the Warrior King who was from Vale.
His army managed to defeat Mantle and Mistral's forces, and it was even said that he killed
countless lives all by himself.
After this battle, a treaty was formed by the four kingdoms.
In addition, the Warrior King founded the Huntsman Academies and made his most trusted
followers the headmasters of them.
Many speculate that Ozpin could have either been the Warrior King himself, or one of the
original headmasters since we know he helped to form Haven Academy.
But it has also been stated that Ozpin influenced all the academies and we know he has appointed
headmasters like Leo Lionheart, so it is likelier that he was actually the Warrior King.
But bringing things back to Jaune, there is also the theory that he is a direct descendant
of the Warrior King.
Tying these two theories together it could mean that the reincarnation of Ozpin is Jaune's
great grandfather, meaning Oz would definitely know who Jaune was.
One reason for believing that Jaune descends from such an important figure is his sword,
Crocea Mors.
This was the name of Julius Cesear's sword, which when translated means yellow death.
In legends it was said that everyone that was struck by this sword died, which is like
what was said about the Warrior King's abilities.
Looking at the sword, it's not exactly the same as the Warrior King's weapon, but it's
intriguing nonetheless since we know this is a family heirloom.
In addition, in the volume 1 opening we see a statue of a man holding up a sword.
This could also be the warrior king, despite the long hair not being there.
Or the guess about Jaune being related to the Warrior King is incorrect, but the statue
does still show his ancestor who is yet to be named.
As we can see in the opening, the camera angle shows Jaune looking up to this statue in a
bit of a sad manner, showing that he probably wishes to be like this one day.
But if this theory is true, then it means that Oz was either an ancestor of Jaune at
one point or was very close to his ancestor.
Meaning that there is a legitimate reason why Jaune, a member of the Arc family, could
get into Beacon even if he did fake his transcripts.
All it took was a look at Jaune to know exactly what family he came from.
Similarly, Tyrian likely knew Jaune's importance or lineage as well, which is why he took such
an interest in the boy after only a glance.
And this is also why Jaune was forced to become a leader.
Ozpin knew about Jaune's family and saw his potential to become a leader, whether Jaune
wanted to or not.
This explains why Jaune is suddenly getting so powerful.
He is not just some random boy who decided to become a huntsman.
He is descended from a line of powerful warriors, perhaps even one of the strongest humans ever,
and has a lot of untapped potential.
All he had to do was start training to become better.
If he had come into the show with the same amount of experience as everyone else, this
would be a much different story and he might have had to get killed off like Pyrrha did
early on because of how over powered she was.
Now with all that said, what do I think is in store for Jaune in the future?
Well, that is a tough call because there are so many ways it could go.
We already know he has potential to be a leader, but perhaps he will become a King of some
sorts.
Or maybe he will become a famous huntsman.
He could possibly even be part of the key to defeating Salem, although that is likely
more tied to Ruby.
But perhaps they will work together to defeat her, along with the rest of their teams.
As a bit of a tangent, I am not too experienced with anime, but I have heard in many shows
that the main character goes from being very weak to super strong by the end.
So I suppose this is not too different with Jaune, except for the fact that he is not
the main focus of the show.
Ruby is.
This definitely causes some backlash with the fans who want the one with the most growth
to be the character the show is named after, not some character from the second most important
team.
But I still love Jaune as a character, and I can't wait to see where the show takes him.
Hopefully volume 6 will give him some more screen time than volume 5 did.
So, that is pretty much the end of this theory video, but don't leave yet!
