There can be only one... probably
Cinder really is zeroed in on killing all of Jaune's love interests though. It's suspiciously consistent.
Almost makes one believe Cindere and Knightfall is canon, and not just in the manga.
I also had to redraw most of Jaune's left arm from the elbow down, after cutting Ruby out of the scene. I think I did a pretty decent job.

That whole scene was a parallel to Mountain Glenn in v2. Except that back then, Weiss, Yang and Blake were the lost ones, while Ruby was the one who was sure of who she was and wanted. Now, Weiss, Yang and Blake have found themselves... And Ruby is the one who's lost and confused.

What would have been V9's epilogue, man, the feels, it is absolutely great, even if some stuff is missing from it (Kerry said it wasnt the full epilogue), and Kerry himself said that due to some constraints, it had been moved from V9 ending to V10 beginning, I really hope we get to see it in its full animated glory, and V10 is greenlighted and worked on soon!

I’ve seen some people saying they wished bumbleby had happened in volume 7 or 8 after the latest episode aired, and I gotta say, there are a few reasons why it really, narratively couldn’t have.
You gotta realize that both of these characters’ entire arcs, while they’ve always been intertwined, have been about them individually working through trauma. Blake is an abuse survivor, and Yang has abandonment issues; similarly to the reason that they didn’t just make out at the end of volume 6, they’re both hesitant to acknowledge their feelings while they’re in Atlas.
Yang confronted Raven, who then left her again, in the vault of the spring maiden just over a month ago as of the huntress work montage. And Blake, even after those weeks of working with Yang and getting to be herself with her, which is made clear during A Night Off, is still conflicted about what happened with Adam. Blake and Yang even talk about that when they’re waiting in ambush in Worst Case Scenario.
Things obviously go off the rails from that point on, as every chapter from Cordially Invited to Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds takes place within the span of about 4 or 5 days at most. Blake sides with Ruby when Ruby and Yang have different priorities, and then acknowledges the effect Adam has had on her when she’s talking to Nora about her sense of self. Yang wonders if Blake will think less of her for arguing with Ruby and prioritizing Mantle since Blake took Ruby’s side, and later it’s very clearly pointed out by Ren that Yang dismisses her feelings with jokes. But they’re both still worried about each other.
From Ultimatum onward, they’re basically inseparable, and Blake was always going to encourage Yang to have a talk about feelings with her the moment that she thought she lost Yang in Worthy. That’s why the confession scene is so perfect: they both realize exactly what’s happening, that they can’t take the next step without acknowledging their feelings, and that’s a microcosm of their whole romantic dynamic so far.
That’s why it’s so perfect that Blake is the one to say she’ll feel better when they’re together, and Yang figures out that she has to talk about Blake, then casually asks if there’s any big truths they “haven’t dropped on each other yet.” Yang thinks “I love you” and Blake knows it. That’s why it’s so perfect when they literally hear each other’s thoughts, and the second Blake hears Yang doubting herself, she encourages her to just say it. That’s why it’s so perfect that when she hears Yang utter “I think—“she immediately replies “I love you too.”

Jaune's fated for suffering
And Ozpin's a terrible therapist.
Jaune's a real oracle though, expresses his greatest fear in the first volume, and the writers were laughing ever since. Poor Pyrrha.
'What are we going to do tonight, Brain?'
'The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to make Jaune suffer!'

Can we talk a little bit about this hug and the whole scene? There’s an aspect nobody seems to notice.
The whole scene, it’s the first time when Weiss and Jaune *touch* each other! Despite Jaune being quite touchy type with lots of on-screen hugs, leans and pats he gets and gives. But Weiss always kept her distance. So V9 is huge in this aspect - and the huge indicator White Knight can be endgame.
[The only exceptions was “healing” in V5 finale, but it was medical situation so it doesn’t count.]
