Talk:Aura (WoR episode)/@comment-2001:8003:8057:A700:D0BB:C653:7522:D6F6-20180209132237/@comment-4010415-20180210021337

Hazel was injured by the Lancer's stinger. The wound not being there initially was an animation error, considering he had a bloody hole in the very next episode. The lack of an actual literal hole could just be censorship to keep RWBY from being too gory, considering they didn't show Weiss having an actual hole in her gut either, despite the spear going all the way through her.

And they never said that his Aura healed the wound through willpower. They said that he was still fighting and getting his Aura to regenerate with willpower.

The "passively" vs "learn to subconsicously turn it on" thing may be a retcon, though.
