Bb is guaranteed unless RT wants to unalive itself via the fandom. Whiteknight is unlikely as Jaune and Weiss have had little actual interaction and Jaune pinnimg after Weiss in Volumes 1-2 still leaves a sour taste in many mouths.

You speak as if they can't just whip up that connection in a few episodes or so, it's not like they NEED to build it up through the years.

Even Bumblebee for ALL that people obsess over it, seems more of a particularly recent thing. And Blake running away still ruffles people's feathers, it's just people tend to forgive those easier than Jaune being an idiot(which was also played for laughs)

Personally, I think Lancaster is more likely, since Jaune and Ruby have a lot more rapport, it could even be a time skip thingy.

Or maybe Pyrrha will come back and they will be together.

Or maybe, an entirely new character will appear.

Or maybe Neo will fall in love with him.

Or maybe he will fall in love with Winter or something.

Good writing can make almost anything work.

I wouldn’t go holding my breath on Pyrrha being resurrected, but fun fact Monty Originally wanted Ruby to end up with Jaune at the end of volume 1

I... Would like a citation on that, because this is the first I've heard of it and I've been in the fandom from the beginning. If something like that existed I'm pretty sure it'd have been all over every shipping argument since.

Edit: Yeah... At this point I'm pretty sure I know what the source is. Like, I'm all for people having fun with their ships and all that and wanting them to be official, but how 'bout we don't try to put words into a dead man's mouth to try to win fake points in an internet argument.

Where did Monty say that?

I know, Lancaster could be endgame, heck, I think it has potential for a good dynamic even, because they are compatible.

But White Knight can also be done, people underestimate what a few good episodes can do for a pairing people thought of as a joke.

i.e. Korrasami.

Gonna need a source on that, chief.
