Instead of having a pointless fight happen in v6, they (being the writers) could've easily had Adam imprisoned or killed at the end of v5 and nobody would've complained or even given it a second thought.

At first, I thought that the reason he was going to come back was to present himself as someone who had taken his hatred of Blake to a level that provoked extreme training and eventual seriously severe attempts at Blake's life. This didn't happen, however, and all that happened was that Adam came back, just as (un)skilled as before and tried to kill/torture(?) Blake only to obviously have him be outskilled because Blake got better at fighting between v5 and v6.

The fight itself was fine, but I'm still pretty pissed because the only reason I can see of the fight even existing is bumbleby, and that's a very very stupid reason. How was it pointless? It brought closure to both Blake and Yang and helped them strenghten their bond with each other. It was a fight that had stakes, emotional weight, and great choreagraphy.

Also you're completley wrong about people not complaining about Adam getting imprisoned/killed in V5 considering the mountain of bitching that occured after he got his ass kicked in that selfsame volume, and the goddamn Everest of complaining that occured after he was killed in V6.

And no, BB was not the only reason for this to occur. Adam has been a part of Blake's character since the beginning of the series, this was it coming to a final head. A similar case with Yang, albeit not quite as long-standing. They had *individual* reasons for this fight that weren't focused entirely on the other.
