And in that same scene he was walking as if he had been hurt, which he was (a cheap and weak hit, but still) back in Haven, but would most definitely never have happened in the throne room since he was only fighting random mooks there.

2) Nah, Adam's appearance was way too well-timed, and he vanished without a sound even faster than he appeared, on a moving train. So either Adam can now become completely invisible, somehow, or Blake was just seeing things.

3) Let's say that Adam really is on that train with them. Now, why would he go after JNR? Blake never cared about them at all. They've been in the same room but she's never talked directly to any of them, aside from growling at Jaune for almost mentioning her faunusity back in Vol.2.

If Adam really wanted to make good on that promise, he would've followed RWBY, or stayed back in Mistral to go after Sun and Ilia. Not follow JNR.

Speaking of which, now I'm expecting a Sun + Ilia vs Adam fight after writing that. 1) Not every indvidual forested area has a distinct look to it. This could have been somewhere near the White Fang base. You do have a good point about the stumbling though. This was really just a theory to try and make more sense of the continuity.

2) That still doesn't explain why he suddenly isn't wearing a mask. We've also seen multiple times that Adam can move pretty dang fast. He easily could have hidden in the time that Blake looked away.

3) While I'm honestly not sure if you're correct about Blake not talking to anyone in team JNR on screen, do you really think she hasn't talked to them at all ever. She's spent, at a minimum, the last two weaks with them, not to mention all the time she spent living accross the hall from them at Beacon, where their teams seemed pretty close. As for why Adam would go after JNR instead of RWBY + QO, there were twice as many people, one of which was an actual huntsman.

I would very much like to see an Ilia/Sun vs. Adam fight though. That would be fucking rad.
