I love how Adam is like a dark reflection of Yang. They are warriors fighting for righteous (self-righteous in Adam's case) causes. They get more powerful by absorbing damage. They're strong, passionate... and very troubled. Yang lost her mom, her biological mother left her, and her dad shut down. Because she could only count on herself, she made herself strong to spent her free time picking fights and looking out for her little sister, who looks up to her. Since he was child, Adam suffered insults, beatings, humiliations, and had no one to rely on because the other faunus were "weaklings satisfied to gnaw on scraps and afraid to leave the nest". One day he had enough and decided to face the people who called him and his kind "animals", becoming a symbol of revolution. That's why Blake was insure about Yang at first: she reminded her too much of Adam. She already had trusting issues, but after Yang broke Mercury's leg "in self-defense", Blake was the only teammate who wasn't satisfied until she made her promise that she didn't do it on purpose. You can see how Yang is on the verge of tears at the thought of Blake doubting her. Their traumas have affected them greatly. Adam is full of spite because every time he looks in the mirror he remembers what the world did to him, and Yang can't stop shaking every time she remembers that night in Beacon. And Blake's running triggers their abandoment issues, causing them to snap at everyone who mentions her. When Blake rejoins team RWBY, Yang has her doubts because she doesn't believe that she's staying because she wants to, but because she feels guilt or pity for what happened to her. What Blake doesn't see is that Yang isn't angry about losing her arm. What I love the most about the scene when Adam takes off the blindfold is that Blake doesn't seem surprised when she sees his eyes. Adam wore the mask to become the monster humanity took him for. Because he couldn't show his vulnerable side to anyone... and yet, he did show it to Blake. Because they trusted her, and she left something worse than scars: *she left them alone.* In short, Adam is what Yang would have become if she couldn't let go of the past.

A good writeup of both characters. Especially with Ruby and Yang, their troubles are usually overshadowed by Weiss and Blake because those are just something bigger. I've always been receptive of the stuff between Blake and Yang, and understood just how much effect Blake's life has over others (and she hates that!). Burning bridges is the easy way out, even if it's necessary. But every time she takes the easy way, she hurts others. On top of that, it's the worst moments of their lives that tie them together, Adam. The song "All That Matters" highlights it well. Blake hurts people not because she wants to, but because she so desperately doesn't want to. So you've got this "Trauma Triangle" going on.

Fun Facts Fact 1: The title is based off of the nursery rhyme There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe and refers to Caroline Cordovin. Fact 2: Nora's line "And you said it wasn't beach season!" is a callback to the episode "Argus Limited". Fact 3: Some of the animations in Yang's fight against Adam are from an unused incomplete fight scene between the two that was originally going to be in Volume 3. The test footage of the unused scene was leaked and then later deleted. According to Shane Newville, Monty Oum had been working on a Yang vs. Adam fight scene for Volume 3, using a song by Linkin Park. The leaked test footage features Session, by Linkin Park. The reused and adapted animations include: In both this episode's fight and the unused Volume 3 scene, Yang starts out kneeling on one knee. Adam sends out a pair of dark clones of himself, which attack Yang as they appear. Then, the clones attack again, with the second one merging with the one in front of it, followed by Adam merging with the remaining clone while attacking Yang. The animation was the same in the unused Volume 3 scene, but the camera had a different placement. Adam slashes at Yang and sheathes his sword three times, with the final slash knocking her back. In the unused Volume 3 scene, a long slash mark appears in the wall behind Yang. Adam creates a pair of clones and runs around Yang with them to disorient her, before stabbing the ground to send an attack toward her. The animation in the unused Volume 3 scene was very similar but not quite identical. Fact 4: The mech fight was the most effects-heavy of the fights this season. Fact 5: Blake has always had the scar on her body since the new outfit, but it has been hard to see until her jacket comes off. Fact 6: Yang hitting Adam with her bike was thought of early on in the scripting process.

Adam's fighting style is that of Japanese Ronin, warriors who have lost their Lord or way of Bushido. His use of swordsmanship, his dexterity, and timing really make for a powerful fighter. I personally believe his sword style is that of Iajustsu where the quick strikes and defensive are key. He fights almost akin to a Taichi master where he flows and uses the momentum of his opponents to power his semblance and gain physical advantage. I wish Adam would have been a more political enemy with the white fang behind him rather than some obsessed ex.

I've always assumed that Adam's semblance is probably far more similar to Yang's than he implements it, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to require the sword, but crafting a weapon that can be used as an extension of your power does. So he probably also absorbs some power from hits he takes, but made a sword that feeds into that power pool to make him more survivable.
@KitsyX2 жыл бұрын
Or it could be that he can cause objects to store energy that they are hit with... He just chose to use a sword... Although, given the colour, maybe it uses fire dust to enhance that energy too? That might be an important part, because his scabbard/sheath gun or whatever doesn't seem to absorb the energy in the same way... I don't see why that's so unlikely anyway... It could be like a mix of Yang and Coco's semblances... Stores power and enhances weapon (Well Coco enhances her bullets I think... But yeah).

There’s always a lot of confusion when it comes to yangs semblance VS adams, and it’s actually quite simple, they’re semblances are almost exactly the same, only difference is, Adam extend his semblance to his sword so he doesn’t have to feel the damage, aura is used to project onto weapons and in turn used to protect semblances, that’s where they get their energy to use semblances is aura, so if what we’ve learned about semblances and aura is true, Yang could in fact do the same thing with her gauntlets that Adam does with his sword, so she doesn’t have to feel the hits and can just absorb it all

Not necessarily. It would be more accurate to say that the effect of their are the same while the mechanics are different.

I think this is the first time we see Weiss use stone dust? So does Cordovan. Perhaps she shouldn't be freaking out so much if she's supposed to *prevent* grimm attacks. How did that missile not explode in the mech's hand? Meanwhile, how does Blake lose her coat but not her... chest, belt, thing? Blake had a cool Kill Bill moment, Adam's blade in her sheath. She had the opportunity to deprive him of his weapon *and* the use of his semblance, but she lets him retrieve it. Like Weiss being robbed of her agency to further Jaune's arc at Haven, Blake suffers the same fate for Yang's. At least Yang is fighting smart, if you pay attention to the coreography; but it would have been better if Blake had never had possession of the sword. Just because you *can* add a cool thing to a fight scene, doesn't mean you *should.* Which video game? Grimm Eclipse was a fanmade creation that RT threw some money at; even if you don't think it's crap at first, it gets old quick. I think all the mobile games were discontinued, and the upcoming one... you haven't caught up to that point in the story, yet. Until someone makes a multiplayer game with decent team attack combos, I don't see the point. Maybe the people who made the Legend of Korra game, I still play that occasionally when I'm in a beat-em-up mood... Platinum Games, that's the one.

I support equity and wish for sexism issues to be resolved for all sides, but there are times when "SJW" motives become extreme and blinded. I am 90% convinced that Rooster Teeth started heavily pushing for SJW propaganda around this time in their shows and in their company in a poor manner: * This point would be the peak of Adam's character being ruined. He started off as the pseudo-fifth main character (originating in the trailers) and together with the white fang represented a solid third-party force in this story between Salem's and Ozpin's forces. The presence of a third-party like the White Fang would have greatly benefited the story's writing, especially for Seasons 7 and 8. Adam himself somewhat changed irrationally because in earlier chapters his political goals always came off as a higher priority than Blake, but they changed that around seemingly to help make it more convincing Blake was in the just. Blake can still be in the right with a more nuanced scenario... but I guess they didn't trust their audience's intelligence? - Adam being an abusive ex was never a part of his character prior and was not necessary. Many fans also cited dislike of it for potentially being used to promote Blake and Yang's relationship (I can't explain more of this dislike from the fandom without going into Season 7 and 8's writing or other issues the LGBT community have cited throughout the series from around this time). - In general, RWBY's writing team have been unable to handle more nuanced themes properly. It's long, but there's a decent video on it called: "The White Fang Problem: How RWBY Fails at Discussing Racism, Oppression, & Protest" * There have been internal issues within Rooster Teeth as well, such as how they handled Vic Mignogna's (Qrow) firing in an unprofessional manner over false claims (almost all of which have been proven to be falsified, or silly in some cases (a bean???)). Albeit contradictory, there was also the case of Mica Burton leaving RT over their lack of support vs online harassment against her being black. And overtime, several higher-positioned employees have also been leaving RT, sometimes in disagreement with the change in direction of the company's views (or how they approach them, I assumed). ... what they did to Adam was a terrible waste of a character with great potential writing-wise/story-wise.
@ChocolatierRob2 жыл бұрын
The way you call him a ‘pseudo fifth main character’ is clearly meant to imply that he was practically a fifth hero of the story but that was not what was implied about him from the black trailer. Clearly he was a significant part of Blake’s past/present and was highly skilled but it also showed him to be cold-blooded remorseless killer and that she had finally had enough of this aspect. He was clearly always a problem and the only thing that changed was that we saw more of how and why as the seasons moved on. He certainly got even worse as he reacted to how things changed around him. He had charisma and a cool aesthetic but it was _always_ a veneer to his petulance. I won’t argue at all with the last paragraph about Vic and RT because I know rather little about the topic so no opinion on it would have any weight but the character of Adam was just never what some people thought/wished it was. His character was never assassinated, just revealed. The SJW agenda is on one end of a scale, Adam was assassinated is on the other end but neither extreme is sensible.
