6. How would he charge Moonslice in a surprise attack? "just ignore the glowy sword behind the curtain Hazel", "Okay, I suppose we should randomly establish I'm stupid despite seeing through your previous BS day 1". 1. But that's not old models they were current. With time progression they just became the old ones after the fact. And even with that, it's still back to the 10x efficiency increase argument/criticism.

6. Hazel is notably dumber when using his semblance with the dust - I was referring to info stated here in the wiki, too. And the moonslice doesn't charge like a super saiyan, he just absorbs hits while he can and then he tries to catch Hazel off guard (speed and setting based) and the pre-charged moonslice is unleashed in a flash. It'd be a one-and-done type of attempt, but knowing the characters, tropes, combat style, experience, and canon references, I believe that Adam would win. All speculation, of course, and your side is just as valid.
