For Weiss's summons to not do damage to humans is, quite honestly, stupid to me. They can easily damage Grimm, Atlesian Airships, and Atlesian Robots, so I have no idea why they couldn't damage people who didn't activate their Aura. And I don't see why she would bother summoning it in the first place if it couldn't actually damage anyone. Why try summoning the Knight 3 times? Why bother summoning the Queen Lancer if all it can do is drag people around once or twice before everyone notices it and can dodge its stinger? If it's corporeal enough to cut a robot in half, pierce the engine of an airship, and kill a Queen Lancer, then it should be corporeal enough to do the same thing to humans.

And to be honest, I really don't care about Hazel "serving his purpose" or "fulfilling his role". Deciding that a character is immune to death because they haven't filled their role in the plot just breaks the immersion and is rather cookie-cutter storytelling. I don't consider anyone in this show immune to death or suffering just because they haven't done whatever the plot needs them to do.
