I just assume that Jaune, while having a lot of aura, is still very inefficient in his usage of it prior to the training he had with Pyrrha.

RPG comparisons again, it's like Jaune has a huge amount of HP, but isn't wearing any armor (which isn't very useful in Remnant anyways, thanks to Aura), and forgot to cast Protect on himself, so he took 90% damage on the Ursa Major.

This is saying something, as the Grimm themselves don't have aura. And as such, their attacks are normally not strong enough to penetrate a Huntsman's defenses. When a weaksauce-tier Grimm like the Ursa Major manages to get a Huntsman-in-training's aura meter to critical levels? Then it says a lot on how valuable aura training is.

Ruby has average aura training based on what she's demonstrated so far. The two times she's been KO'd generally involved someone that has more experience than her. So it's safe to assume that Roman and the WF that faught her have a stronger aura count that it penetrated her aura defenses and KO'd her.

If Jaune was in that situation after his training, he may have fared better. But that's theoretical.
