Wellp... Adam's dead.

Really wish they would've shown his back story and used him to more clearly express some of that Faunus discrimination plot that they've been neglecting so horribly. Instead, he's nothing but a flatly-portrayed psycho abusive ex-boyfriend character.

Like I discussed in the staff Discord, I wouldn't mind if they went the route of him actually not being dead, instead washing up on the bank further downriver, being found by a human, and being taken to their cabin to be nursed back to health. Then, in Volume 7, we get a brief flashback of how he got his scar, followed by him waking with a start in a bed, then wincing and groaning from his injuries. The camera shows things through his eyes as the human approaches from his blind side, so he doesn't see them clearly at first while he talks to them. Then he realizes they're a human and freaks out but is too injured to actually do anything.
