The only time it shimmered from him kicking her was the very last time he hit her, at which point it seemed she finally ran out of Aura, considering she returned to using Crescent Rose's recoil to travel instead of her Semblance, despite now having better control of her Semblance since the timeskip.

Meanwhile, his blades didn't do that to Jaune, Nora, or Ren, so would this mean they have a higher threshold than Ruby does?

Honestly, I'm still holding out hope that Tyrian's blades were coated in something or he has some kind of Semblance or something that helps him break temporary holes in Aura and he was using it on Ruby because she was his target. I really don't want the Aura shimmer to start meaning things other than "This character is out of Aura and is in mortal danger. You should worry about them now."
