The bits that leaked and poured out of Yang's arm right in front of the screen, after she was dismembered by Adam, were yellow, like her Aura. Not even close to red.

2) Ah, right, that happened..........and only makes the red poured bits more strange. Pyrrha would've had even less Aura than I originally thought then.

3) It is indeed horrendously stupid. But that's the kind of writers we have.

Honestly, at this point I feel RWBY would be much better if we didn't have Aura. Keep Semblances and Dust and special techniques like Blade Beams and all, but not have Aura be a thing.

Either the people get injured for real, even if not in any major way, or they barely get cuts and bruises and we assume they are just that tough (or the show doesn't wanna go too far). Many other works have done that and they don't have to deal with inconsistencies like these. 1. I was talking about the black dots in the silhouette part.

2. Only thing I can guess is that the light and sparkles were her soul or something? The soul is usually depicted as being in your chest around where your heart is, after all.

3. Yeah. Just would've been nice if they stuck to showing the Aura shimmer when someone's Aura breaks, but now they seem to have thrown that out the window ever since Ruby's Aura shimmered multiple times in a row.
