That doesn't seem like a good idea for a flesh sack.

She's only got half of a cyborg arm...the recoil could be dangerous for that shoulder.

So... next season, next year, probably at RTX.

It can start with Ruby, Weiss, Blake, or Yang. Or Oscar. But I hope it starts with Yang and then leads into Ruby's part of the story.

That came out of nowhere.

Season 2 of Chibi is in a few months while Volume 5 is confirmed for October. Maybe it'll air first at RTX London but that's in the air.

Guys, did you know the Monkey King Sun Wukong, from Journey to the West, fought a Demon Bull King at some point?

I am now sure we will see a showdown between Adam and Sun. Also, Ghira, Blake, and maybe Yang. All ganging up on Adam.

Okay I have to ask, why the Sun obsession?

#45539: Feb 26th 2017 at 9:19:54 AM

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.

All Volume 3 did was making him look like that compared to a first-year school student who permits her 'temper tantrum' to do all the work in fights instead of learning proper combat strategy.

It's given us absolutely no indication of whether or not he can pull it off against fully trained Huntsmen or whether or not he could waltz into Schnee Manor cleave Jacques and the entire building in half.

We do know that he bugged out when the dragon came in, however, because Sun does mention that the White Fang retreated because of it. So we do know two things: Yang and Blake were no match for him at that specific time and he didn't want to stick around while the dragon was active.

The idea that being able to one-shot a strategy-weak first-year academy student means it's a screw up that he hasn't achieved total victory over humanity yet is a massive stretch, one that's based more on personal guessing than anything the show has actually revealed or even implied about Adam to date.

Even how he managed to one-shot Yang is guesswork for now.

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.

Perhaps he does, perhaps he doesn't. We're not going to know whether or not he has a story-breaking power from him one-shotting a first-year academy student who - as has been pointed out in-universe - has a big problem fighting rationally and strategically.

Indeed, Yang's charge was an absolute gift — she rushes in, all emotion and no thought, fist-first. All he had to do was maintain his cool and make a precision strike on the first part of her body that approached him (her arm).

That's not exactly rocket science. Her father basically pointed out how strategically weak her fighting style has been to date. Fans had already noticed that flaw anyway.

Really, what Adam achieved against Yang is more about Yang's weaknesses than Adam's strengths, given how little we actually know about Adam. I'm not prepared to claim Adam has a story-breaking power on the basis of what happened to Yang. I don't mind having an open-mind about it, but what happened Yang is definitely not proof of it.

If I remenber well, aparently Miles and Kerry have to tell monty to not make adam slice the train in two because power issues.

Monty, Miles and Kerry also disagreed on the Yang/Adam fight. Monty wanted Adam to slice the train in half and then be easily thrashed by Yang. Miles and Kerry did not want the train sliced in half and did not want Yang to thash Adam.

Guys, did you know the Monkey King Sun Wukong, from Journey to the West, fought a Demon Bull King at some point?

Yes, we know. If the writers go the route Monty wanted, the person to eventually defeat Adam will be Yang (just a lot later than Monty originally wanted). If they're serious about an abuse back story for Blake, the person who ultimately needs to defeat Adam has to be Blake.

I don't mind, as a nod to Journey to the West, that Sun survives a fight with Adam at some point, but the person who ends Adam's type of role in the story has to be the abused protagonist (that doesn't automatically mean thrashing him in a fight, it can be more wide-ranging than that).

Yeah, and if I have one complaint about the argument about Sun is that is focuses on the symptom rather than the cause.

The flawed way he approached it aside, the universe aligned itself where had to do something about Blake, even if it would impinge upon her right of privacy, or leave her to, as far as he could tell*, waltz right in to her certain death. The universe, written by the authors, did that, not Sun. He's just the poor sap left holding the shit-decisions bag.

*It also turned out he was right, even if that hadn't been Blake's intentions, and he might've been banking on that.

[up]T He issu with him is the show try to make the butt monkey after Jaune grow more serious this season and the writer using more japanise humor which is by most of the time cringe worthy, really Blake was THIS close to yell "BAKA!" at Sun.

Also that, I guess.

I mean, I suppose that's also a thing that has to do with Sun, it's just not exactly the same thing as what I was talking about, even if it's connected.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#45546: Feb 26th 2017 at 1:52:27 PM

I mean, issues with how Sun was handled aside, Blake having a self-destructive nature was established long before this. It's not a female character thing, it's explicitly a Blake thing, that's gotten a lot of focus. Sun assuming she's going to go off and do something that could get her killed was not out of the blue, and really didn't seem like the world conspiring to make it so. It was just a follow up to what we know about Blake as a character and her situation.

Again, that's without commenting on the legitimacy of complaints about how Sun was writing during the volume.

I think it was really just the writers wanted someone to be paired with Blake, and Sun happened to be the best candidate for that.

Or perhaps the only candidate as Yang and Weiss were back home, and Ruby was off with JNR.

[up][up]More like the universe conspired to make that his choice.

With the knowledge that the rest of RW*Y had dicked off on their own, he now knew Blake was by herself. He also knew Blake, to an extent, and made the educated guess that she was dicking off to her doom. He couldn't accompany her, because Blake.

So Fate had dumped two decisions in his lap: A) Stalk her or B) Leave her to her doom.

And by Fate, I mean the show writers.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#45549: Feb 26th 2017 at 2:30:54 PM

Phrased that way, it makes me think the writers specifically wrote Blake's character and set the arc up like it was, just so Sun could tag along, instead of Sun tagging along being a part of the story they had in mind for Blake.

I get what you're saying, and to an extent it's true, but that's more because everything that happens is because the writers will it to be so. It's just sometimes it's more justifiable than other times.

Mind, that view point I wrote is written with Sun as the focus, so of course it becomes about him.
