First time I saw the episode when it came out, I was watching with my friend who's also a fan of the show and we literally both screams "YEAH, JAUNE!" at that point. JNPR aren't wrong to call him a strategist, that was easily his best (and frankly unexpected) battle tactics in the show.

I think people don't give Jaune enough credit for just rushing to make an attack after the Silver Eyes temp stun. He was aware of being outmatched and needed to go for a quick cheap shot if it was going to work at all, and a quick lunge makes sense to me as a quicker attack than a full swing. And he went for the face too which is just... yes, thank you.

I was one of the ones waiting a full week for the next episode, and OH MY G! the FNDM! Everyone finally noticed what had been right before their eyes all along. Go back and look at the Banners and Posters for Volume 5 and you'll see what I mean.
