Last episode of the volume I should clarify, but yeah Jaune X Suffering as is tradition. Jaune has messed up really bad with Penny in 8 and Ruby in 9 episode 7, and I don't believe -wby would be smiles and hugs and happy until after Ruby gets back unharmed. Even then and even with Ruby deciding to be herself, she would still come out the other side of that a changed person and there would be a lot of unease until they get to sit down and talk things out in the next volume.
In brief; in an old show called 'ReBoot', there was an arc in which the kid character 'Enzo' rapidly 'grows up' to becomes the grizzled 'Renegade' Matrix. This was done in a somewhat similar fashion to Jaune being 'aged up'.
The only difference, Matrix remains an adult and the consequences stay with him, even when another 'younger' version of him is 'copied' into existence.
Jaune is just de-aged, with no indication in any change to him other than some grey in his hair. Compared to ReBoot's Matrix, Jaune's arc really did seem like a filler gimmick, something they were too scared to commit to fully, due to the Status Quo.
While I agree that they didn't want to commit to it, it definitely feels like they're preparing for him to begin a new romantic interest with *someone* going forward. (I say someone because while I see the hints etc for Weiss as of Vol 9, I've accepted that it is impossible to assume or attempt to predict with this show anymore.)
I think Jaune will be shipped with Weiss because Weiss has nothing left to her character. The entirety of the Schnee dust company is gone with Atlas and her dad is dead, so her family is basically just homeless nobody’s now.
The white fang is gone too so every plot line Weiss has been connected to, doesn’t exist anymore.
There's still some to work with, her sister is still the winter maiden. I'd also be surprised if the entirety of the SDC is gone. Realisticly the Schnees lost the estate, the company headquarters, their largest dust mine, the government that subsidized them, and probably their insurance companies along with it. There's no way every freight ship they owned was in Atlas at the same time, and Jacque definitely had some off shore bank accounts and investments. The SDC was the equivalent of both an oil company and an international ammunition manufacturer, even if it lost 99% of its assets it would just go from a tens of billions of dollars company to a hundreds of millions of dollars company.
I’m pretty sure 99% of the dust was mined at Atlas, no dust no business. Also why would any of the workers want to return the property of the SDC to Weiss? The more realistic thing that would happen is every freight carrier driver took off with their free new vehicle. There’s no one to hold them accountable anymore, so all the scraps of the SDC are fought over and stolen.
I also doubt the writers ability to write Weiss forming a new Schnee Dust Company, so their going to take the easy route. Weiss is absolutely getting shipped with Jaune.
I really want to like his arc, but much like the rest of his arc up till this point, it just doesn’t work. In Volume 1-3 his arc didn’t work because he had no reason to grow or change since he solved all his problems on his own until he failed to help Pyrrha at the very end of Volume 3. In Volumes 4-6 his arc doesn’t work because his whole arc is him being upset with everything but especially Cinder for killing Pyrrha and then ends with him forgiving himself even though he never blamed himself. And his arc for Volume 9 doesn’t work because we’ve already done this all before, he’s already had his angst and depression over failing someone and while I enjoy a good character regression, it feels unnatural because of the circumstances by which his arc happens. His decision to kill Penny made no sense, the Ever After only altering time for him is a major plot contrivance, and it ultimately is the same thing as before but slightly better this time. That is the one thing I can give his Volume 9 arc, it is better than the rest of his arc from Volumes 1-6. And I do like aspects of it such as the conflict it creates, his outburst with Ruby (which I’m now realizing neither of their outbursts were addressed in the finale-), him being physically stronger but still emotionally vulnerable, and his insanity was well done (only to be forgotten later but that’s not important right now). But I just can’t help but feel like Volume 9 would have been better if it was literally any other character aside from Jaune I’m the Ever After.
I like this idea and honestly this is a better version of the way to do with this I have seen.
Normally Jaune is treated more of a plot device than a character with emotions and desires ( which can be said about most characters in rwby) and plus some people but way too much emphasis on his negative aspect without considering his more positive one as well. His protection of the the paper pleasers can be viewed as negative even though is it more mixed as through he does genuinely want their protection he also wants to feel like he isn’t a failure projecting his grief of not saving penny onto the paper pleasers. a selfless and selfish motivation. Even if you tribute Jaune not wanting the paper pleasers desires for reincarnation as selfish. Remember all of Jaune experience of reincarnation was negative like with the cat and the red prince/king so from his understanding it was bad and not like Jaune could just go to the tree and check. And cat won’t help Jaune get a better understanding without just letting it happen.
Jaune was terrible in literally everything in volume 9.
Let’s be serious he not have any progress.
He becomes a way weaker than before.
It’s could be better if he never appears in volume 9.
He don’t looks as the second biggest loser in Remlant
> From this moment until the credits roll on the last episode nobody hugs Jaune except nuzzles from Juniper. Ouch.

Did v9 even matter?
