@Chi: 3) But in season 4 we only see Adam in a dream? For a whole season even though people talk of him and Hazel goes to meet with him and Sienna. Why not have him on screen? Would it kill them to do one episode with him there?

4) You have to understand. I'm not glued to this screen. I'm playing demos and pausing and coming back ad typing stuff and then refresh page, wow, there's no posts. I didn't see that post you wrote. Now. Having read it I ask.... Why didn't Ren use Aura Bomb on the Giest limbs? No one answered that question. 1. It's not that they won't make new gun-chuck animations for Sun "because animating it is hard". I believe I've explained before that the problem was that the gunchucks' original rig (skeleton that they use to animate) was a several-year-old, overly-complicated, piece of shit rig that Monty had made for an older project a long time ago (he even admitted himself that it was bad), and after volume 2, he worked on making a new rig so that he could make new animations for it.

Even if they still didn't give it a new rig in volume 3, I'm pretty sure they remade everything from the ground up for volume 4's switch to Maya, so by now, his gunchucks most likely have a rig that's actually sensible and can be animated.

2. When we last saw Hazel, he was at a train station in the Kingdom of Mistral, outside the capital city. Dunno where exactly Sienna is, but it seems insinuated that White Fang HQ, where Sienna is, is in Mistral somewhere. It's possible that Hazel hasn't even gotten to the meeting with Sienna yet, and thus, no screentime for Adam because he wasn't doing anything worth looking at yet.

3. Probably because it was made of rock and not flesh. The Aura bomb thing seems to ripple through flesh and make it expand from the inside, leading to the explosion. Probably can't do that to solid rock.
