2. What about when the first arrow struck her ankle? There was no Aura coming from her ankle, and she was in the midst of trying to run away from Cinder.

3. ...........For them to throw that away and make things confusing and uncertain about what the hell that shimmer means is incredibly stupid. 1) We see blood later. And it's normal red.

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.
