Except Yang is not one of the strongest characters in the series. She's no slouch but cutting her arm off like that does not imply the same thing as slicing a train in half would.

And if they felt that way, and are the ones writing it, then clearly they're not going to make him that strong.

This sounds like less of an issue of Adam being "storybreaker strong" and more of an issue of people overestimating what his feat means. He's above them, yes, but not impossibly so.

[up]Sorry I try to said the strongest chararter of RWBY, and the yougers in general, she is just behind Phyrra and Penny in terns of habilities and raw power.

Also the issue is that if Adam can bypass aura that render much of the fight into another matter, without Aura they are just meatbag waiting to be butcher by him, is not a small feat at all, also for what we see in Black trailer, he is not a bad fighter by any means.

I refreshed my memory to both instances of Moonslice. I would like to point out that in the Black Trailer, a single blast from the spider bot was capable of blasting Adam and Blake through the end of a train car. Another blast was then absorbed by Wilt. Adam then performed Moonslice on the robot as it... leapt... at... him... I think I might have figured something out. Both the spider bot and Yang leapt at Adam. Perhaps that might have something to do with it.

I would also like to point out that in the Black Trailer, Adam requested Blake to buy him some more time, meaning that at the very least, Adam can't spam Moonslice. Or, in relation to my next point, he has to make sure Moonslice will absolutely end his target.

I would also like to put forth the notion that wild mass guessWilt absorbs energy to fuel Moonslice.wild mass guess Which might explain why the spider bot got vaporized, while Yang only lost an arm. Adam blocked a few shots, carved up a bunch of robots, and finally blocked a laser, before unleashing Moonslice on an auraless robot. Onscreen in V 3 C 11, Adam engaged a Blade Lock with Blake, absorbed two bullets, and finally stabbed Blake before unleashing Moonslice on a rampaging Yang.

So, all in all, there are two things to possibly concider with Moonslice: position of the target and how much Wilt has been used.


Also, after rewatching Heroes and Monsters, I've come to the conclusion that Weiss should be able to summon her own personal Paladin now. And that the Schnee family Semblance could totally be used for a Stuffed in the Fridge moment.

Powerscaling's a bit iffy in RWBY. Adam > Yang, Cinder > Adam, Cinder >= Pyrrha, Cinder ? Ozpin, Qrow ~ Winter? It gets iffy.

I never saw that Phyrra as Cinder's equal in their fight. Things with Ozpin are indeed fishy, but the way Salem is acting seems to imply that under normal circumstances Ozpin > Cinder, even with Maiden powers.

Considering that Ozpin died offscreen and he was totally winning based on what we saw, I think we can assume Ozpin > Cinder and he let himself get killed for some reason.

Ozpin was holding his own, but I don't think we can really say he was winning based on what little we saw of that fight. But we've already beat that topic to death, and with the whole Oscar thing in season four, it doesn't really make sense to assume that Ozpin took a dive unless there's some additional elements to things that we've not gotten any hints of yet. That's certainly possible, but by definition we don't know about it if it's true..

Add Yang in there, and give Adam a beatdown similar to Gibbs.

If anyone's going to beat down Adam, it needs to be Bumblebee and just Bumblebee. Anything else wouldn't fit, thematically.

And yes, I meant the motorcycle.

So basically Blake and yang run him over with the super sexy 69 attack from sonic 4 episode 2 (I know you're referring to the bike but I'm pretending I don't).

Okay, let's compromise-

Yang and Blake run Adam over with Yang's bike while making out on top of it, but not before he chops off, I dunno, Sun's hand, but it turns out it was actually a Sun clone and Adam can't see really well under that mask. Blake makes it clear to Yang that she's just a part of her blond harem and Sun acknowledges how it was pretty shitty that the universe set itself up so his only two choices were stalking and what he assumed was negligent homicide. Blake thinks that pretty shitty too and they team up to find God and make Them apologize.

Then it turns out Pyrhha's alive but, psyche, it's a robot, except double psyche, it possessed by her genuine soul and Penny is in there too, but not the original Penny, triple psyche, hints that the original is in there somewhere. And Team RNJR and Weiss do something too.

That's a possible season finale for chibi... in fact every chibi finale from now on needs to be a parody of season finale tropes.
