4) But it doesn't. Because when everyone can jump 15 feet into the air, it evens out.....

6) ...What? I'm saying Hazel pushing Adam into a wall. And I don't care how many stab wounds he heals, being cut in half is cut in half. Only spider-legs can fix that.

And why would I delete your arguments, even partially? 1) Not really. Aside from the very likely idea that the new AKs were already in the making by the time the Black trailer happens, it's not really unbelievable that they would make a new design that is more sturdy and resistant to damage than previous designs. Especially when it's being done by the most advanced Kingdom on the planet.

Besides, I seriously doubt Adam even trained between the Black Trailer and Vol.6. Slicing mooks isn't very good practice.

So we got technology being upgraded, as it should be, versus a man who didn't really get much stronger because there was nothing that forced him to become stronger.

4) ...Use your brain for a moment and you'll see, that everything in that paragraph is bullshit.

1> People who have Aura unlocked and know how to use it can do all kinds of crazy shit, and can trivially eliminate mooks, be they bandits, combat robots, or low-level Grimm. Civilians with only a week of training are even weaker than all of those, while Adam is stronger than the average Huntsman-in-Training that was already capable of defeating dozens of mooks.

2> These civilians don't have Aura unlocked, and if they did they would not be good enough with it to actually use it well. Ren explained it himself in the same volume, it's hard at first. Oscar managed to learn how to use it, after about a month, with Ozpin in his head to help him out.

These people, who literally lived in Menagerie because they didn't want to fight, are not going to be as good as even Oscar at it, so they either can't use Aura, or they can but it makes a difference so small it's insignificant. To think they could even slightly compare to Adam is beyond stupid.

3> It takes just 1-2 hits/shots to down a mook if you're even remotely badass. Adam wouldn't tire out because it doesn't even require much effort or energy to take them down. Hell, using his Semblance at full power while spending quite a while fighting Blake and Yang didn't tire him out at all.

4> His Aura wouldn't break at all, because it recovers over time like with everyone else. Between his skill and speed, and the lack of either from the civilians, it would be a miracle if they even manage to land a decent hit in the first place.

5> You are correct, that the scaling in this show tends to be consistent. Thus, just by looking at the performance of mooks that actually know how to fight, against rookie Huntsmen-in-training, we know the performance of civilians with barely 1 week of training, against a man with years of combat experience that has strength comparable to a Huntsman.

6> Dismissing that law by saying "it's plot armor" is just an example of utter ignorance. The law is this: The more enemies someone faces, the worse these enemies perform, because fiction is not reality, and RWBY isn't the kind of show that would care about being realistic.

Whether hero or villain, main character or not, if they face a large group, they are more likely to win than if they face just a few strong foes.

Is that hard to understand? Because you make it seem like it is.

6) Except Hazel wouldn't be cut in half, because Adam's average Moonslices aren't that strong. Consider this: Yang, with low Aura, only got 1 arm cut off by a charged Moonslice. Hazel not only is a juggernaut, but has insane Aura regen.

Because everyone is able to see perfectly well what post you're responding to (it's literally that number above every post). Even if you deleted all the words in it, it's just a matter of clicking that thing to jump at the quoted post inmediately.
