StarWho wrote: For those of you who think Jaune's semblance is healing, it probably isn't. Jaune merely transferred his aura in Weiss, same as Pyrrha did back in S1. Remember how Jaune's cut healed after Pyrrha transferred her aura to him? Don't you think that if healing was Jaune's semblance, Pyrrha would've known? Yes. But back then she looked like she expected his cut to heal as a result of her unlocking his aura. Pretty sure it is healing, remember Pyrrha only used her aura to unlock his, and then his own activated. The aura glow over Jaune's body before the cut heals is white, while Pyrrha's aura is red. More, the wound closed well after she broke contact, she even tells him directly that his own aura had taken over before that point. We know Weiss has a light blue aura, and when Jaune is pouring aura into her, his color overides her own and she glows white. This would indicate the color of aura stays true to it owners color, even while infused into, or around, someone else.

The assumption that everyone heals wounds with their aura is just that, an assumption. Pyrrha does not mention healing when explaining aura, not even the episode of World of Remnant that explains aura makes any mention at all of healing. In an entire arena full of teachers, professors, students, and huntsmen when they believe Mercury to be badly injured, nobody tries to heal him with aura, they send him away in an ambulance. They don't use arua to stop Yang's bleeding, they treat it with bandages. They don't look for a healer for Qrow, they look for a doctor or medical supplies. Nobody ever mentions, at any point, that it is even possible to heal with aura.

In any case, Jaune's aura is the only one to shown on screen, through 5 volumes of combat filled action so far, to be able to close open wounds. If it's not a semblance, it's still unique to him thus far.
