@ChishioKunrin As for your point about the Aura, Halo shield and the specific use of percent to measure it:

I am aware of all of that but look back at Forever Fall where Jaune got hit by an Ursa only "two times" and it instantly left his Aura onto the red zone. It could be argued that Cardin took down most of his Aura when he was beating Jaune up but this contradicts the fact that Jaune was left bruised meaning his Aura wasn't protecting him. If the Aura wasn't active then it wasn't being depleted by Cardin. Jaune has a large Aura but initially he couldn't endure much damage. Sometimes he even got knocked out temporarely with a single attack despite his aura being intact (food fight or JNPR vs BRNZ).

Jaune has a large Aura but hardly endures damage compared to others like Yang or Cardin. She got hit by a giant robot and still had Aura. Jaune got two hits from an Ursa and instantly on the red zone. Either Yang has an even larger Aura or she has actually trained herself to control her Aura to some level and this can actually increase how much her Aura can endure. I'm betting my money on the latter.

I do believe in what you're saying about how strong Jaune could become if he could control his Aura a lot better. I don't think Pyrrha "just happened" to mention the fact that Jaune hasn't even started to train his. It's even possible Jaune's endurance hasn't reached its highest level. If Jaune's noob Aura got dropped to less than 20% with just two Ursa strikes then maybe a Jaune with a fully trained Aura could have two Ursas thrasing him around for a minute and still have more than half of his Aura intact.

And if we assume Aura affects how physically strong you are then Jaune could even lift those two Ursas and throw them away like they were nothing if he enchanted his muscles with Aura. Jaune has a lot of potential because of his strong Aura but I don't think it makes any difference if he doesn't train it.
