Talk:Jaune Arc vs Agent Washington/@comment-26194911-20170207141200

as of Volume 4, Manga Feats, and Grimm Eclipse, Jaune should take this handedly.

Not only has he reacted to far faster threats than Washington has, but his Shield can deflect sniper fire that shatter boulders, which means Wash's regular arsenal is not gonna pierce it easy. When Jaune runs, he can form Mach Cones around the front of his shield.

He's also got a lot of physical power. He held back an attack from the Grimm Horseman, overpowered a Grimm Ursai, and redirected a King Taijitu Grimm when it was diving at him.

In Grimm Eclipse, Jaune's ultimate ability is doubling his power and speed by 100%.

So not only is he stronger than Wash, but he's also a lot quicker. Jaune's consistently shown to have high amounts of Aura, as shown in Food Fight. He not only took Turkey's to the face from Yang, the arguably strongest physical student in Beacon, but he also got right back up after Ruby used her ultimate Semblance move on him, which included slamming into a stone wall with enough to crack it, and then taking hundreds of soda cans to the face. If that's not good enough, he also got right back up after taking a shot from Cinder, one of RWBY's top tiers.

So, that's why I think Jaune's got this one in the bag.
