Adam was introduced in the Star Cross arc of the Duel Masters manga series.
Details[]
He is Eve's lifesaver and friend, and is a boy with white hair and wears nothing other than a plate on his shoulder, a piece of clothing around his lower body and a pair of sandals.
When amnesiac, he is drawn with heavily deformed features, does not speak, is mostly nude save for a duel masters card covering his crotch and has empty eyes.
Personality[]
He first started with good intentions in ancient times, as he tried to stop the humans from starting wars, but quickly became destructive and sought to sink the world into the sea once he realizes that he cannot. However, after Shobu defeated him in a final duel, his perception changed, even trying to meet Shobu at the end of the manga. His actions have a striking resemblance with those of the last enemy Shobu's brother fought & the last enemy Katta's son fought.
Plot[]
History[]
In ancient times creatures and humans helped each other. But the humans betrayed the creatures and used them as weapons. One such weapon was a Bolshack NEX later discovered by Shobu after Terror's defeat. In the battle Adam met Eve, a girl praying in the war fire.
Eve's parents were killed in the war and prayed to god that the war will be over. Despite their cooperation, they did not end the war.
Adam then scolds god that it did not respond to Eve's prayers.
Then a mysterious light appears and an apple appears. when a Bega, Vizier of Shadow gets near, the apple absorbed it and becomes a Duel Masters card.
Then he transforms all of the creatures into cards and is known as a hero. The card game is known as "Duel Masters" and became the solution to all disputes.
However, the soldiers of the world were dissatisfied and starts another war. Adam and Eve opposed this and called the creatures of the cards to fight the soldiers. Adam summoned Emperor of the Gods to fight Bolshack NEX and imprisoned it in a basement. Eve was then found dead in the conflict.
Then Adam realized that "Only when humans are destroyed the world will have no wars", so he decided to use the origin god's power to sink the world into the sea and destroy humanity.
After he had run out of force, he gave the Duel Master's Proof to the remaining survivors and entered deep sleep in ice. He is also responsible for bestowing the Guard invulnerability from any damage bar those from a duel, which is promptly revoked before fake Xanadu attacks them.
Duel Masters Star Cross[]
He first appeared in Duel Masters: Star Cross - Volume 1 as a new villain after Zakira and the true final boss of the original Duel Masters Manga. For most of the time after he is awakened, he was amnesiac and is seemingly a joke character that does not speak and is drawn with heavily deformed features. He first appears with a card covering his crotch, builds a snowman with his face on it and does not know how to play the card game at all. In this state, his personal, loyal guards form a boss gauntlet against Shobu and his friends, while Xanadu finds ways to use Zakira to awaken him.
This changes when Zakira regains consciousness, kills Trouble (presumably also alongside Xanadu) and goes into Adam's room to directly duel him. During this duel, he gradually regains his memories, starts speaking and becomes drawn with more detailed features. He wins Zakira easily with the Original Gods and killed him along with Ash. With his memories regained, he continues his former mission to destroy the world by drilling Thousand Spear onto the earth's core, much to Happening's shock. Shobu reaches the top of his tower right after and he declares that humanity will end in 20 minutes and they duel. During the duel, he killed Happening who tried to stop him. After one of the fighters shot a missile that disintegrated Eve's encased body, he became angered and his deck became Mono darkness after casting an Apocalypse Day. Shobu Kirifuda then defeated him with his ultimate Psychic Creature, Final Storm Double Cross NEX, the Miracle Awakened.
Instead of killing Adam, Shobu directs his attack onto the tower, only for him and Final Storm to halt its attempt to drill into the Earth's core. Reflecting upon his actions, Adam aid him and the creature spirits to halt the tower, in which they were successful in halting the tower, though it gave way and seemingly kills Shobu. (In reality, Shobu is alive and well)
After the events of this manga, his past personality disappeared and he went to find Shobu, though he had some regrets of indirectly killing him. He became friends with a village who gave him a coupon to a world tournament. Then he went to the tournament to meet Shobu.
