Cinder lost straight up. Adam had a perfectly functional gun on his belt. And human nature doesn't affect Adam ;) In all seriousness there's a dramatic difference between Cinder and Adam - my example for her would be equivilant to her fighting Raven, Raven using maiden power and Cinder not. It would be stupid. And to write ANY character that way is stupid. "Ruby, the Leviathan is coming and only your eyes can win!" "My eyes? What about my eyes?" *Everyone dies* Obviosuly that's a dramatic example, but I believe the point comes across. So people shouldn't make stupid mistakes in the heat of the moment?  Yang definitely did in Volume 3 and look what happened.  And Adam was definitely not in the right frame of mind, with no one in his corner to tell him to get it together.  So I have no problem with his downfall here, he lost his cool and eventually lost his life. Correct, characters shouldn't make stupid mistakes in the moment - unless it's built up as such. And a character forgetting about their weapons despite having fought with them FOR YEARS is stupid. In volume 3, what did Yang do? If you're meaning the incident with Merc then you're comparing apples to football fields.
