1-And I would be hesistant to say that in the case of Semblances because they run off aura for once

2-and two, Semblances do not really seem to be capable of being used solely without a weapon- unlike superpowers in other media.

3-Again, theory- not saying it is or isn't, we haven't seen any Semblances really looked at in depth through the seasons themselves, and I mean, heavily focused.

4-I am thinking of the fights where she played a tank role; fighting against the Paladin- and taking a monster mech punch and a kick if I recall right (might be wrong) would probably push aura defense to high limits, but then- she comes back from it with her Semblance active, not even more than annoyed. 1-Normally, yes.....but passive-wise, there seem to be either exceptions or cases of Semblances with very low costs.

Take Qrow for example. He passively causes Bad Luck. Since Semblance is fueled by Aura, that would imply he would be wasting Aura every second. Logically, he would have next to no Aura 24/7 that way. Yet he doesn't.

So either his Semblance has no cost, or it costs so little he "pays it back" every second.

2-...............You have to be fucking kidding me. I don't care if you're going off what you recall, what you say in this statement is severely ignorant, it's something that both makes no logical sense (because Semblances are tied to the Soul, not weapons), and anyone who has seen the show casually can tell you it's wrong.

Almost everyone has used their Semblances without their weapons at some point. Sun, Ruby, Ren, Pyrrha, among others. The ones who haven't can be counted in one hand, and in their case it can be easily explained.

3-It's not a theory if it lacks evidence or logical arguments to support it. Then it's just a guess. Using a guess to make a statement is pretty fallacious.

4-That's more a result of her training, nothing to do with her Semblance. She's no Avenger, if she couldn't endure a tough hit she would be useless. And thanks to Aura, she can endure tough hits, to an extent.
