Talk:Volume 6 Adam Character Short/@comment-37159314-20181011214246/@comment-4010415-20181011221703

I don't get what you're saying. It barely showed anything of how he was toward Blake. As far as I'm concerned, it did give some background.

First of all, it showed that there really were White Fang members doing more than just protests and boycotts while Ghira was still in charge, which fixes the plot hole that Weiss made in Volume 1. The first scene showed us White Fang members getting ready to infiltrate an SDC plant and do something illegal. Before that, we were left to wonder if there were sects of the White Fang going further than mere protests and boycotts because of Weiss saying that they had been attacking the SDC since she was a child, when Sienna didn't take over until she was 12.

Second, it showed how Adam got started on the path to violence. Notice how he actually didn't try to kill anyone other than the guy who tried to kill Ghira. He was just kicking them and hitting them with his hilt and gun. The only death was the guy he used his Semblance on, and that guy was about to try to kill Ghira, whose Aura was broken. Adam seemed genuinely surprised when Sienna praised him as a hero for it. That seems to be what got him started on killing people.

Later in the short, we saw him getting ready to intentionally kill an unarmed guard who had tried to surrender. Sienna plainly saw him doing this but didn't say anything about it. The only reason she stopped him was because they needed to move ahead. This shows that, not only did Sienna cause him to start killing, her behavior allowed him to think that it was okay to kill people.
