Just a follow up question when Cardinal is beating up Jaune and the latter is coming up in bruises then Jaune's sembalence pops wouldn't that imply that your aura and Sembalence aren't linked? Or has that also changed?

What? Where is even the logic in that? How does that scene imply that there is no connection between Aura and Semblance?

Jaune simply shortly, momentarily activated his Semblance by accident. That was a glimpse. Aura protects, but Jaune's Aura was weak, due to lack of training back then. He had a lot of it, but it was weak. Hence the bruises (though still avoided true injuries).

He had enough to use his Semblance, though very shortly, very momentarily, and by complete accident. (Pretty sure Jaune didn't even know what he did.) For such a diminute, unconscious use, pretty sure the Aura cost would be absolutely minimal.

(Also, Note: FYI, while he appears fully healed afterwards, that was apparently an animation messup.)
