Hmm... I can see where you're going with Ruby regenerating Aura on the train, so that she can use her Semblance all right, but Aura in general... I thought Aura was only designed as a barrier to protect from near-fatal blows, not enhancing speed or strength, according to World of Remnant.

"Aura is primarily used as a defensive mechanism. Passively coating the wielder in a protective force field, it can protect a combatant from what would normally be a fatal blow. It does not, however, make the user invincible."

If you are referring to Ren's battle, note that Ren resisted using both his own strength and his Aura, both of which are kept separately, and not enhanced by one another. I am also certain that his finishing move is from his own strength and technique, not as a result of Aura. And it has been established that Ren is a glass cannon, especially in Players and Pieces.

Referring to the robbery, it still makes no sense. I can at least put some of the blame in the writing not elaborating on what levels or which opponents Ruby sucks at when fighting barehanded. I mean they state that she sucks without her weapon, but she can handle two mooks? I mean the WF mooks are also easily dealt with, strength-wise, so if they can handle being punched by Ruby, why not the mobsters? I thought the only thing keeping them apart was the experience, the equipment, and the tactics.
