Crocea Mors was named yellow death not after any disease it was named such because of its (most likely) extravagant decoration being that of Ceasar's and the deathportion comes from the myth that any enemy struck by it would die. I for one believe this is more of a reference to the fact it is simply a weapon to kill Grimm. A standard sword for killing Grimm. It's prowess would come from the wielder. Jaune's Grandfather and now Jaune. It was easily able to decapitate that Ursa. As for the shield i would think it was maybe not standard but definately simply for defending against Grimm. Jaune's Aura is will most likely be how he makes them special and truely his although giant ethereal swords and energy blasts seem a bit over the top. Totally agree with you, just by looking at Jaune you can tell that his design is the same as a standard soldier. Light armor, sword and shield, no guns, no dust, only his own skills and aura. If Jaune reached the same level as the main cast, now that would be pretty badass considering his gear gives him very limited options in battle apart from slashing, stabbing and defending.

I don't think Jaune will be the hack and slash fighter who defeats massive hordes of enemies with a single heavy combo and instead he will take them all down at once with a well-traced strategy.

A wild Ursa Minor appears and attacks Yang, she uses several hits and bullets to take him down and avenge her hair.

A wild Ursa Major appears and attacks Jaune, he rips its head off with one hit to the neck.
