I don't think Remnant will crash if Adam is defeated, but it might crash if either Salem or Ozpin are permanently removed from the picture. If you want Kings and Queens, they're the pair to look at, and judging by Salem's song, her plan to destroy Ozpin really does appear to be the check-mate move.

[up] This.

I feel like people on the level of Adam and Cinder should more than likely be dealt with in a team battle. All of team RWBY going against Adam simultaneously makes him seem more dangerous (he needs 4 people to beat him) to avoid worfing, and could lead to more interesting ways of getting around him, since it means the girls don't have to all suddenly become way more powerful. They'd still need to get stronger to match him as a team, since it took a strong team effort to take down the paladin, and Adam has bodied the hell out of more dangerous looking mechs, if the spider tank is to be accounted for.

Please Adam is just one disc boss, went he is defeat, Ravel will show off and prove he is ultimate boss from Yang and Blake and the ultimate edgeblade.

Funny thing with that desing, Raven look and alies of Adam more than anything else

Adam is more of a personal enemy than an overarching enemy like Cinder is. A very strong personal enemy, but one nonetheless, and having him be a team battle would seem weird.

Yeah. Adam is primarily Blake's archnemesis and should be dealt with as such.

I rather doubt that Blake has either the strength or the intelligence to fight him singlehandedly. This applies to not just her, but pretty much every student character we've seen so far.

I think Pyrrha might've given Adam an even fight. He was scared of half-maiden Cinder, and Pyrrha put up a hell of a struggle against full-maiden. Plus, Pyrrha kinda specializes in Pv P.

I think Adam should go down to good old Bumblebee power.

And by that, I mean the bike. He should be run over by the motorcycle.

Adam is more of a personal enemy than an overarching enemy like Cinder is.

Torchwick's dead as the dodo, Cinder is boring and irredeemable, and now Adam will probably die early?

Gasp.

There are not a lot of notable villains in this series. Stop writing off the early ones so callously! D:

Neo doesn't talk (she's got style granted, but dialogue is kind of necessary for meaningful hero-villain conflict). Junior got emasculated within the first 30 seconds of his introduction. Miltia and Melanie were last seen in their part-time job as background props. Mercury and Emerald are great but we know jack about either of them. Emerald is supposed to be Weiss's rival and these two haven't even had a conversation yet.

And of course the giant bird totally killed Torchwick. Because stomach acid (assuming Grimm have that) and explosions always kill people in this universe.

And I'm honestly not looking forward to Miss-Totally-not-Cortana but totally sounds like her Salem. We know diddly about her except that she exists in some inexplicable hell dimension. Some ancient, demonic, albino, Japanese kimono-wearing princess with creepy glowing eyes is not my ideal "final villain". She's also been sitting in the background forever being cryptic and detached from pretty much all of the evil sh't she's obviously up to.

So I'm hoping we get at least 2 volumes of mileage out of Adam. He's been straight and to the point thus far - Occupy Vale, terrorize the humans, harass my ex-girlfriend, bada-bing, evil forever - and he's arguably been given the most backstory out of all the villains thus far, which is really saying a lot about the others when all we know about him is that he runs a terrorist group and he and Blake used to date.

two thing:

I dont think Blake should handle Yang alone, she should learn to trust her teamate on this, also while she could be good in combat, the moment she is hit and is dead.

On Penny...I dont think she will return, or a least that easly, after all Atlas need a good reason to remake their failed project that already brought a lot of atention, not that she isnt going to return....but I feel is going to be a little more complicated than that, after all Cinder is right: why do you need a robot that look like a little girl?

Anyway, for spanish speaker fans, I found some fan dubs here, one in latin spanish and the other from spain

Here is latin version:

Roman sound wooden and like a bully, the narrator is...meh and Ruby sound less cherfull, also they dub the theme and.....mierda, carajo eso suena tan malo, glynda sound good and Ozpin kinda meh, Yang was the only one who fit the chararter

So for a fan dub that was.....awfull, let see how the other dub shall we?

For starter they replace the narrator with a men....well, that will awkard later, Roman ether sound like old woman or like frat guy who REAAAAALLY want to punch in the face and shop guy look he smoke all his damn life, Ozpin sound good,Glynda is meh and and Yang is...more meh, al menos no tiene onda vital

So in short, both dubs suck heavly amount of balls, but for diferent reason

So, do you have any other dubs we can talk and why its good or bad?

Since Adam cut off Yang's arm, that makes him her nemesis as well. Also, Adam is the leader of an organization that Weiss hates with passion. Most importantly, a member of White Fang punched Ruby in the face.

See, the whole Team RWBY has a reason to have a beef against Adam. grin

Personal foes can do things to other people besides there nemesis. It doesn't mean those other people should actually be apart of the big "final battle".

Team RWBY can deal with White Fang as an organization together, that was never in question. But Adam really should be Blake's.

None of them has to be mutually exclusive. Also, Adam is way above Blake's tier for her to fight him alone anyway.

[up]The point of Blake is two: she shoudnt run and she need to be a team with the rest, Yang already got maim by Adam, by minium the two must fight him.

[up][up][up][up][up]I think you mean..."Blake" shouldn't handle"Adam" alone, not Yang. I mean, she should handle Yang alone because, if anyone is gonna help her get out of that slump it has to be "Blake"

In order to return the favor, of course.

[up][up][up]Blake can have the decisive blow/final hit. tongue

[up] Because there is no change yet. When there is a change, I will adjust my opinion accordingly. Also, both Blake's potential for growth and Adam's full strength is in the realm of the unknown, so for all we know, Blake can grow stronger but Adam is still stronger than that.

[up]You never go into a story like this thinking "the characters will stay the exact strength and skill level". That they grow and change, especially in light of big personal battles like this is a given.

Bottom line, is we know for a fact that Adam is going to be defeated. We know that Blake has by far the largest personal conflict with him. Ergo, Blake will defeat Adam. It's basic storytelling. We might not know all the variables or exactly how it's going to go down yet, but that being the final outcome isn't a mystery.

You never go into a story like this thinking "we already saw the full extent of strength and skill level of a character". That they have more to reveal, especially in light of big personal battles like this is a given.

Also, that's a very uneducated and shallow logic, seeing that's only one of the many ways a plot thread can unfold.

When did I say we've seen everything he has? It's obvious we haven't, just like it's obvious he's eventually going to be defeated.

[up]Now you're just being insulting. And I said nothing about how it's actually going to get there, just that it's obvious it because of basic storytelling and set up.
