But Aura only really seems to act as a buffer and only Ren has shown to be able to completely block things with his Aura during the fight with the King Taijitu. In those fights, it really felt like they were in danger and one wrong move would be the end of them (to me it did anyway).

However in this fight, sure Ren and Weiss (maybe Blake after the cans) get knocked out, but all of them appear perfectly ok moments later. Ren and Jaune seem to get up to see what Ruby is doing and Yang must have been pretty high if it took her that long to fall back down to Earth...Vytal, whatever. Yet all of them just laugh it off like nothing happened; Weiss and Blake are fine and JNPR are all there just laughing as Yang falls through the roof of the building, but gets up like nothing happened. Maybe they were only pretending to be knocked out as part of the fun, but Weiss broke a large stone column and Yang broke a stone roof...twice.

As a result, instead of feeling like they are made of iron, they feel like they are made of diamonds (which are actually pretty breakable, but you know what I mean).
