He didn't have his blade out at the first swing, but it was out on his other arm. Any thoughts on this? It feels kind of similar to when he was fighting RNJR+Q back in V4 and Ruby and Qrow got those Aura shimmers.

I remember back then we thought RT was being inconsistent with how it looked when aura broke.

Now it kind of looks like an early hint of Tyrian's semblance. It only happened to Ruby, but yeah. What confused us was that Ruby kept getting Aura ripples multiple times in a row, which we hadn't seen before. They did a much better job at showing us what happened this time.

Basically, Tyrian touched his fingertips to Fiona's stomach and then dragged his fingers across her stomach and side, and while he did that, it looked as if he was tearing her Aura shield open in that spot. He then swung with his other arm to cut her side with his blade.

If this is his Semblance, it's very deadly and efficient. It means that he doesn't necessarily have to beat the Aura out of someone. Instead, he can make quick work of them without having to deal with a drawn-out fight.
