But yeah, it would've been much easier to digest Yang blocking the entire Moonslice with just her arm if it was an actual slice and not a big wave of Edge that practically swallowed her while heating up the air to the point heat haze was blatant.

2) I get the feeling he survived, considering Cinder's suffered worse and lived just fine. Though that nasty hit in the head might give him amnesia.

Which would be interesting. Imagine Blake and Yang down the line finding Adam somewhere again but this time he's just a normal guy with a normal wife running a flower shop.

4) Except he was. We've seen Adam defeat AKs, even if old ones, and these guys were literal civilians with at most 1 week of training. If Adam wanted he could and would've sliced down quite a number of Menagerians as if he was in Dynasty Warriors. And I doubt the MPD would've done much better than the civs against him.

Adam didn't even bother to put up a fight before running away. He just ran away the moment a monkey got a hit on him. He could've stayed and fought. Hell, if anyone else tried to hit him or shoot him, that's just more energy for him. But nooo, his face is too precious to get bashed like that, gotta flee.

6) If Adam tried to block the hits, then he just gets sent flying against the nearest wall. Hazel hits very hard and he ignores all pain so he hits with all his might all the time. His punches are not like Yang's un-Semblance-boosted hits.

7) See, the thing is, this is not real life. Qrow was faster than Hazel too, and yet Hazel still kicked his ass hard.

And if you want to argue Aura, Hazel already won then. Nora outright noted that he recovered Aura faster than they could wear it down. Ever seen Sword Art Online? Ever seen that scene with the 5-so players slicing at Kirito non-stop and then he just passively regenerates all the lost HP? That's Hazel.

As for Range, when Hazel dopes with Lightning Dust, his fists shoot lightning when he punches. It's how he one-shot-killed Weiss's Queen Lancer. And between his Aura and Semblance, Hazel would just shrug off all of Adam's shots without flinching. 1) That's what I meant, about the Atlas Tech. Same tech, he disolved one and the other was fine.

2) I believe his death was confirmed on the RWBY RWND by Kerry.

4) I don't give a damn who you are, greatest fighter in the world or not, an army of civilians with weapons will eventually beat a single man.

6) That's a valid point, though I still think the flow of battle would favor Adam. A couple hits into the wall, a moonslice through a torso, and romantic music in the background.

7) Different level of fast, though. This is one of those moments where an agree to disagree is probably the best ending :) Unless we get a super niche Death Battle one day.

I did forget about the lightning fists, too. Another fair point.
