I would like to remind everyone that Aura is a manifestation of someone's soul, not a physical muscular movement. Ren made a King Taijitu's head explode and Fox made an entire Ursa Major explode using Aura. Neo being able to push Yang back with her aura alone is not even close to outside the realm of possibility.

That said, as far as the discussions on Semblance go, I saw someone mention that the whole fight may have been an illusion. I want to latch onto that, because look at this:

(I've done my best with this, hope it works)

(Edit: Gifs won't work. It's pissing me off, but a jpeg will have to do. Sorry for the upload spam.)

See that? Unlike the last gif I supplied, which someone argued was an animation error, this one explicitly shows the false image of Neo moving to block Yang's strike with her parasol, just before Yang hits it and the whole thing shatters. This means that 1: Not only are Neo's false images tangible and solid, but 2: Neo can remote control them. And if that's the case, Neo could potentially have an entire fight with someone through a remote control image. Which would explain her sudden disappearance in No Brakes: she was dispelling the remote image. Makes you curious why though, if that was the case, Neo didn't bother to test Raven's skills with it first.

I relised that and I was like did I see neo move someone else relised YAY!!
