Chish, I don't quite follow how your first bit relates to what SirGau and I were saying. Could you elaborate? What "it" would be like Blake's clones, and how so? 1) Adam moving so fast that he leaves behind after-images would look closer to Blake's Semblance. The fandom even mistook Blake's clones for Blake moving so fast that she leaves after-images before we knew about Semblance. 2) Yang throwing Bumblebee at Adam is still the best thing ever. Everything about that part was so well-done. The dramatic angle was perfect, and we could really feel the weight behind Bumblebee smashing into Adam. I. absolutely. LOVED. that part. SO MUCH!

3) I realized... how does Blake expect to be of any help in this fight if half her weapon is broken and the other half got yeeted into the forest? 1) That being said, do you think it was a matter of his speed or something else, given that the clones were visually distinct from Adam himself?

2) I completely agree that we could feel the weight behind the impact and it was done in the right drama and that it was so satisfying to watch. Yet it still took me out of the moment because "How would Yang have known to do exactly what she did if she were just riding over the side of a cliff?" Like we got nothing on Yang's end that she'd know where Blake was or that Adam was even around. I guess the sounds of fighting could echo in the forest, but I digress. It made up for itself by how well it felt.

3) She can still use the gun I guess. Does she have the ribbon still? She could fling it around and shoot like she did in the Black Trailer, but it wouldn't be able to slice as well as it used to. It seemed that the blade was the only affected part. Both the gun and the sheath stayed on the ledge but the gun part kinda just disappeared between shots. Blake only carried the sheath at the end but the gun never actually fell anywhere.
