It happens around 3:18 when Adam saves Blake from being stepped on by the spider droid. He just sort of, appears. He doesn't really come from anywhere. He just drops out of thin air and rescues her at the last second. Now last time I checked Adam's Semblance had something to do with charging attacks over time and absorbing energy. In other words, not teleportation.

In fact, there's only one other time I've seen anything like this, in the Red Trailer. When Ruby is first attacked by the Beowolves she just, vanishes. She's there one second and then the next the wolves are slicing at a plume of rose petals and she's straight up in the air. I'd like to point out that she wasn't even poised for a jump. She didn't go up into the air at any time. Just like Adam she was simply one place one second and another the next.

Now I know Monty said Adam and Ruby weren't connected, but that just seems like too much to ignore. Both Semblances that have been shown to emit rose petals also have been shown to allow some kind of limited teleportation. In addition, both Sembalnces affect mobility. Ruby's Semblance increases her speed. Adam's Semblance seems to require him to stay in one place for some period of time.

My final point is by far the most speculative. I believe the teleport may cause the Semblance to be temporarily weakened somewhat. In the Black Trailer, Adam is shown near-effortlessly hacking through androids near the beginning. I might be seeing things, but it seems like he even chips some peices off the spider droid when they first encounter it. Then he teleports. After that he doesn't attack at all until his charged Mortal Kombat style finishing move. Could the teleport have made him weaker somehow? Did he need to regain energy?

On the other end, Ruby seems kind of slow throughout the entire Red Trailer. For someone who's Semblance is Speed she's probably the slowest of all Team RWBY if you only judge based off of the trailers alone. Could her little vanishing act have cost her one of her most valuable skills? After all, the fastest she moves in the trailer is when she's being assisted by Gravity Dust rounds at the very end. The Ruby we know from the show is plenty fast all on her own. She doesn't need Dust to help her, right?

Anyway, tell me what you think. If I'm just seeing things you can tell me that too.
