No, it's Michael Jordan. Just because other skilled warriors choose to used aura only doesn't mean a little light armor wouldn't help. I bet when Sun got stabbed his thoughts were "maybe I should wear at least a little bit of armor", oh and also "OWWWWWWW!"

My point isn't using aura only is wrong. I just think a little extra protection until the girls learn to be more durable and defensive would help them in the longer drawn-out battles. As ever KINO, you analogy is barely relevant to the discussion at hand. No one of great skill in this show wears armor. Literally, no one. The only people we have seen wearing are, as I have been pointing out, jobbers, with Yatsu occasionally being useful against the Grimm but not much else. Sun is also a fighter whose entire fighting style relies on mobility, something that any type of armor strong enough to keep him from getting stabbed would hamper.

And my point is that armor is pretty much useless if it's hampering your entire fighting style. Combine that with the fact that people who wear armor in this show are practically worthless against skilled fighters with the (unfortunately only) possible exception of Jaune if the writers decide to remember he's supposed to have achieved a level of competence by now.
