No. Not a fan of him.



Spoilers for DitFXX Episode 6, Hiro finally learns how to fully pilot Strelitzia, because he decides to fight for Zero Two's sake as his purpose rather than parroting the indoctrination that's been spoon-fed to him all his life, piloting FranXX with hollow devotion to something he only cares for the same way a grade-schooler cares for memorizing the pledge of allegiance. And that's just in six episodes.



All throughout RWBY Volumes 1 and 2, Jaune spent his allotted one-thirds of the volume's episodes either focusing on dumb love triangles with Weiss and Neptune, or refusing Pyrrha's help and getting blackmailed because of information he spilled during his refusal. Only for him to be reduced once again to mere comedic relief in Volume 3, even after his speech in Volume 1 about not wanting to be comedic relief. So essentially, Volume 3's 2nd episode negated all the development of Volume 1, and I don't even know what the hell we got out of Volume 2 except a funny dance sequence and shipping fuel. Jaune, in my opinion, has been a waste of time, and all the effort putting character development on him could have been better used on Ruby, since she's the main protagonist of the show.
