Clearly what needs to happen is for Yang to pull a Saitama when Adam goes to attack her with his sword again.
That's a vague...
No Sell, Chew through the Sword, Dodge it instantly, Catch it in motion?
She could do any of those.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.When I think of Saitama and swords, I think of only one thing:
(¯-¯): Ok.
Highlight: Biting through the Sword.
There's no 2nd chances with this, but, eh.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Adam's deal is to block and absorb attacks with his sword, sheath the blade, and pull off Moonslice at a later point. So all Yang has to do is hit it harder than it can possibly absorb, and violà, Wilt shatters into a bunch of tiny pieces. Or something.

It'd be a perfect book ending...clearly.
Sword breaks arm.
Fist breaks Sword.

Exactly. That was entirely my idea from the start.
Either that or Yang learns the channel her semblance into defense and No Sells Moonslice.
Either way would hopefully leave Adam standing their going "wait, wut?" and leaves him open to being punched in the face.

His Semblance is literally Unlimited Blade Works.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Probably much easier said than done. Adam seems to outclass her so badly that she needs a serious strategy overhaul (or a big power-up) to stand a chance against him. Targeting a weak point won't work if his weakest point is stronger than her greatest strength.
Pretty sure they said Moonslice was his semblence. Or at least they said that there was nothing magical or special about his sword that let him absorb and release energy like that so what else could it be then?
I feel like they screwed up with Adam. They choose to have him one shot Yang for maximum shock value and now have to justify it in a way that will both make Adam defeatable later, and also in a way to explain why he hasn't single handedly killed all the humans and lead the white fang to total victory yet.
Reason: Pecking order. Adam is above the level of student huntsmen and peons. He is not, however, above the level of certified badass huntsman who could nonchalantly dodge his attacks and walk all over his ass. He is essential an edgy gang leader, with an army of those he is capable of bending to his Wilt. Without his flashy skills, he naught but a brooding young man with possible parent issues.
It's not skill when you can just one shot people. Why couldn't he one shot Qrow? Yes Qrow might have the skill to avoid getting hit by it but in a direct clash based on what we've seen he'd take a moonslice just as badly as Yang.
If Adam can one shot auras and instantly vaporize security bots why doesn't he just walk right into Schnee manor (cutting apart any security because no way they can stop him) and just cleave Jacques and the whole building in half?
Because that's how powerful Vol 3 made him look.

Schnee Manor probably has a lot of guards. Even someone as powerful as Volume 3 made Adam look would have a tough time against what's likely a veritable legion of Praetorian Guard Elite Mook Private Military Contractors.

Yeah, with he power level right now, Tyrian was able to kick RNJR around and disable her aura and fight Qrow into pretty much a tie, sure Qrow would win by is bad charm semblence but they were at the same level, while Adam pretty much have a story breaking power.

It really didn't. It clearly demonstrated that Adam was above the main characters right now, but that's it. Nothing about splitting houses in half, or being able to destroy and army or anything you're suggesting. Being able to cut through Yang's aura isn't the same thing as being able to do it, to say, Ironwood or Ozpin. You're vastly exaggerating what being able to do that to Yang actually implies.

That's not a reason to definitively say he isn't. It's a "we don't know", in which case, you shouldn't be making definitive statements like "Adam clearly isn't pro-Hunstmen tier". He might be, or he might not be. That's not a statement of whether it's good for the story if he is or isn't.
I saw nothing in that fight to imply that Qrow's Semblance would guarantee him the win.

If I remenber well, aparently Miles and Kerry have to tell monty to not make adam slice the train in two because power issues.
Also the problem is that Adam can one hit the stronger chararter like Yang, that pretty much change things, so ether they nerf is power or explain around to avoid the question "why he doesnt just butcher the cast?"
Im expecting Adam to have is on team, with a chararter who start with F, another with N and another with G,

I think Yang's semblance is always on regarding the damage taken = power boost, but the visual is when she turns on said power boost.
