A little thing for anyone whose upset Adam was so easily caught off guard by Blake. I offer something to keep in mind regarding Adam.

1) Adam's greatest weapon over Blake and Yang was intimidation. Blake was frightened to see him at Beacon and initially wanted to run, only attacking when he threatened to kill a student. In the proceeding fight, she focused more on trying to talk him down like she would later do with Ilia. Problem is, Adam didn't care. Yang charged in recklessly and Adam used his semblance to one hit ko her. Had she not done that, the result could have not been such a curbstomp. All Blake needed to do to not be at such a disadvantage is face her fear of him. And with an army at her back and the Mistral Police ready to help, its a lot easier to face said whiny edgelord of a fear.

2) Adam's mental state is serverely deteriorating. While he once was able to come across as slightly sane, now he has reached the point where he will gladly blow himself, his followers, and fellow faunus alike up just to spite the Humans, and to see Blake derail his plans sent him into a rage. He did the exact same thing Yang did to him. Irony at it's finest.
