Think about it, in the first episode of Volume 4 he got hit by a rock but his aura didn't show up and he also got hit by Tyrain. And throuhout the Volume we've seen Ruby's, Ren's, Nora's, Qrow's and Tyrian's aura when they got damaged in a fight.

I don't know what to call, their it was an error or maybe Jaune has a dormant lantent potential that he doesn't need his aura to sheild him.

What do you guys think? You only see someone's Aura when an attack breaks it, as in when they run out of Aura. It doesn't flash every single time that it protects someone from harm. Ruby's Aura shimmering multiple times in the Tyrian fight was a strange, inconsistent case.

Here are cases where a character's Aura shimmered and then, soon after, we were shown clear indication that they had no more Aura left to protect them:

When Ren and Nora's Auras shimmered while fighting the Nuckelavee, that meant that they didn't have any Aura left, which is why Nora finally stopped Ren and told him not to get himself killed. After the final time that Ruby's Aura shimmered while fighting Tyrian, she started using Crescent Rose's recoil to get around instead of her Semblance (They confirmed in the latest Q&A that you cannot use your Semblance without Aura), and Qrow had to save her from the falling wooden beam, as it would have actually hurt her.
