Skill in battle, considering "Bane" could have been holding back, is not a viable point of argument. Remember, Cinder is interested in collecting information about the Beacon Students too. We still don't know if Neo used an illusion to disappear or if she teleported. If the latter, certainly, it's possible she teleported Bane out of the train car and to wherever he needed to be. Also, Cinder herself seemed to be wearing camouflaging technology. Maybe Bane has a sample too.

I'm not trying to make this work. It's just that the arguments against it are usually weak. The strongest argument against it that I can currently locate is the idea that he is not as tall as Yatsuhashi. It's difficult to measure height ratio during combat. There's a lot of potential for inconsistency in programming for a heavy action scene. Until RT releases a picture of Bane standing side by side with the other characters (preferrably just Yatsuhashi), it's really not possible to determine his height.
