That's what I first thought as well. I was just a bit skeptical about it because I hadn't seen those marks up until that point. In fact, because blunt weapons cause that sort of effect I had orginally thought that aura was a source of impact.

As for the bullet proof vest theory, I mean sure it sounds logical, except for the fact that, well be in Torchwick's shoes.

He can either waste a bunch of time, stealing high grade armor from the military, where he may lose henchmen or he might buy this high grade armor from some black markets sales man which costs money

OR he can just ask Neo or Cinder to unlock his aura... With little cost whatsoever...It would even serve the same purpose plus a bit of unique abilities here and there.

There's also the fact that his face did get slashed as shown in the image I just sent. And while yes there are explanations like the ones you described, it just seems that evidence has been pointing towards Torchwick having an aura, but very little for the alternative (That I know of) So it is more of an educated guess. And because this...Debate has gotten a bit extensive I think I'll just call it a day from there :/
