Well its not that he was panicked, its that he was spiraling out of control. The Volume had several scenes showing Adam was not in his right mind when Blake was brought up, in contrast to how he was calm and collected when she wasn't mentioned, such as his killing of Sienna. The preceeding scene where he tried to blow everyone up set up that he was unhinged, and his behavior you can tell is erratic by comparing it to his previous confrontation with Blake in Volume 3. There, he had the advantage, he lured Blake to him, he had control over her. Here, he had none of that, and while already spiraling, charged in anger.

As for the scene you linked, there is an issue with what you're suggesting. When Blake used her semblance, she did slide away, but if you continue the scene, you see her shift in her stance before she delivers the strike. As for the plausibility, it isn't that hard to think. She backs away enough that the sword doesn't slash her, shifts her stance mid movement, and leans forward to deliver the strike.
You're suggesting that she was remaining in the exact spot she moved to from the Semblance, in which the blade should have cut her. The implication with the fact her body is seen shifting in position as she went to attack is that she moved closer to him as she raised her arms.
Then there is the definition of the trope even if using Laconic. Adam is not a Boss. He is at best a Mini-Boss, at worst a Warmup Boss. He wasn't truly defeated, as again, Blake points out he was going to more than likely ambush them. He didn't even really have a fight with them. He was hit once, fired bullets at Blake and Sun, then ran off.

So I don't think it counts.
