We had Adam forever in this story and so far he hasn't done squat but maim Yang and terrify Blake. .....He appeared in the Black Trailer, wasn't mentioned or referenced again until Volume 2, was barely mentioned during Volume 2, had a semi-cameo at the end, and didn't do much in Volume 3.

Yes, we've had him since forever. But that's not important. What's important is for how long as he been in the show. And it barely surpasses 10 minutes. He has barely been present. Number of Seasons or even episodes doesn't mean anything, what matters is the presence, the actual screen-time and importance.

We don't even know about his personality other than that little tidbit of what Blake told us of him basicaaly turning from good guy to bad guy. Also the whole "my love" thing is kind of weird. Like does he love or hate Blake. I mean he did try to behead her. He's crazy.

Also I the whole lack of inequality is still not shown. If anything there is nothing but equality between the Faunus and humans. I know someone said its in the manga, but I'm talking about the show not the manga. The show and manga are seperate entities. The Manga is "canon until it's not", so take stuff in it with salt. Even if taken for granted though, it wouldn't change anything; The discrimination they talk about so much is a major plot point, a big motivation for Blake, Adam and the White Fang. It needs to be shown in the show, not side-material that people must read online.

The whole negating aura is weird too because not only does this make him super OP, but it makes you think how is anyone supposed to beat him if he can just kill someone in one slice. Like the anon said, he does not negate Aura. He just hit her so hard that her remaining Aura wasn't enough to stop the whole hit. The slash took it down to 0% and still was strong enough to deal damage. It's like rising your shield to block a hit and the shield getting broken in the process.
