1) And alternatively I'd argue that the shell of the Mech's should be more resistant, especially the large one's that are expected to take and endure hits

2) I was curious about that same theory, though Adam's sword has made me question that. Of course, it could just be a REALLY durable sword.

3) It could also mean that Penny's 'soul' is protected and her - the actual her - might return.

4) Let's say I am overestimating the citizens. There's still the security - high in the sky, guns, and mobile. Plus the huntsmen/huntresses.

5) I do wonder how Sun would do 1v1 against him. I think he's probably a much better fighter than we've actually seen. I hope we see him again, soon.

6) I don't know...a change of scenery, some dancing in the trees, leaves floating down, a few trees collapsing, speed to get behind him...It feels pretty typical for Iajutsu fighters. 1) To be fair, only 2 of them actually hit the Mech with blades, Ren and Ruby. Ren just impaled them to climb, and it's easier to penetrate things that way. And Ruby, well, Crescent Rose is sharp enough for her to slice a tree in half with a blind swing without even pay any attention.

2) The weapons in general seem very durable. The only ones we've seen clearly getting broken are Pyrrha's sword, and Raven and Cinder's blades. The former, Cinder was practically melting it. The latter, it was 2 Maidens going all out on each other.

3) Eh, no, how the hell does any of that even imply that? All I said was that metal things aren't protected by Aura, her Soul is irrelevant there. There's not even any implications that "ghosts" are a thing in RWBY.

4) The ones in the sky aren't much better. The airships don't seem to have guns and even if they did, they would have to avoid hitting the Menagerians. Any people on board would just have your standard rifles, whose shots Adam can easily block or dodge. Plus there's the blind spot under them. Adam, meanwhile, can just shoot them with the rifle or slice them with a Blade Beam.

As for Huntsmen, there's just Blake, Ilia and Sun, the rest being busy inside Haven. Ghira's Aura is quite pathetic and Adam isn't as shit as the foxy twins. And Kali only won because Yuma is an idiot and she had the power of "let's make the fight happen offscreen so we don't have to explain anything!".

5) If he uses the gunchucks he would likely do better than Yang did. If the model for them breaks again and becomes unuseable, he probably wouldn't do much, especially since Adam (somehow) also has clones but he doesn't need to stand still.

6) Getting behind him is possible, but Aura is like a force field, not a shield you must place in front of you. Backstabs don't get bonuses if the oponent knows you're there and has their guard up.

And I seriously doubt Hazel would be so outright brain-dead retarded as to drop his guard completely and ignore Adam's mere existence in the middle of a fight just because of "a change in scenery".
