2) I know that he hit Yang with about a hundred of those things, many of which surely landed on her face, and her Aura wasn't depleted. How much more powerful could just one have been, even if point blank.

3) Even if she took it better than the probably untrained Tukson, it didn't seem to be all that damaging in the first place, since she still had more than enough for the rest of the night.

4) Wasn't that the whole point of Aura in the first place? To explain why the characters didn't bleed.

5) I actually have this theory that minor injuries can appear when your Aura is almost depleted. Those bruises and Weiss scar being my main proof (though I acknowledge that the White trailer isn't the best place to look for proof). 1 & 2) Okay, don't you see the blatant problem in these 2 points? 'They are all trained Huntsmen, for starters. Not mooks, HUNTSMEN'.

And among them, Coco and Yatsu are in their 2nd Year, and we've seen what 1st Years are already capable of doing. And among all 3 of them, Yatsu's just plain tough, while Yang's entire MO is all about getting hit to later hit harder, so it's only expected of her to take much damage before falling.

Comparing any of them to Tukson, is like comparing a random kid who knows how to play Basketball, with someone who has trained for years to enter the Big Leagues.

3) Above point + Adrenaline. Your point is moot. And the boldered part fails because she spent multiple minutes not fighting anything after that little encounter with Mercury. She got more than enough time to recover whatever she lost with that kick.

4) Only regarding the people who actually have it unlocked AKA the actual Huntsmen and Huntresses, pros and in-training. And that was only window-dressing.

The real reason behind Aura was to provide the requisite in-universe excuse for why these characters can do everything they do. Why can they survive falls kilometers long. Why can they survive things that would kill a normal person. Why can they vanish into petals or move petals or make giant cones of Ice and etc.

5) Changes absolutely nothing, because you missed a part of my point: What Cardin did to Jaune back then was much smaller, much weaker, than what others have suffered in the show.

Like Yang getting punched twice by the Paladin. Or BRNZ getting hammered and launched by a super-charged Nora. Or Ruby getting the aforementioned kickful of metal from Merc.

Jaune suffered much less damage than any of those instances, and he was stated by a 4-times champion that he had a lot of Aura (and it didn't sound like she was just being nice), and still got those bruises.

That is why, regardless of how much Aura you have, if it's untrained, it's hardly any better.
