-He who is AWESOME Basically this, though I wouldn't say Adam effortlessly cut off Yang's arm, I'm more leaning towards he intended to cleave her in half there and then. So why didn't he? Check out the Black Trailer; Adam concentrated for a whole fifteen seconds before the Spiderbot fired off its hyper beam. He absorbed it into his blade, and then atomized the bot in one single blow. In "Heroes and Monsters," he doesn't concentrate and absorbs a mere two rounds from Blake's Gambol Shroud. Now if he'd used his Moonslice on Blake, he easily could've killed her. But because he targeted Yang, who's survived falls from terminal velocity (the food fight) and being smashed through four foot concrete pillars (the Paladin), severing her arm was the best he could do. Had it been anyone else, yes, they would be dead.

And though I agree that running away doesn't solve anything, had she not run away in the Black Trailer she would not have gotten another chance, Cinder would have had her killed for it, just like Tukson in S2E1. So running away saved her life that day, the irony of it all.

If she's strong enough to kick his ass, he'll finally gets what he deserves and she wouldn't need to stay away from her friends any longer I highly doubt she'll ever be able to take him on alone, let alone take him down. And even if she could, that would draw out Cinder who would give her the Pyrrha treatment in short order. So it'd be a lose-lose situation if she tried fighting Adam herself, not sure how she'll ever resolve this situation, but we'll see.
