* BondVillainStupidity: Instead of killing Shunsaku Ban, he comes up with a more convoluted plan of sending him away and having one of his henchmen impersonate him, which Ban manages to undo forcing Adam and his men to abandon ship and survive on an African beach (until they come across Rune). Later, he knocks out Lamp when he comes after him, but tells his men to tie him up so that he can try reason with him later. The result: [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Lamp manages to free himself and sets Adam's circus on fire]].

* HateSink: He's scheming, backstabbing, manipulative, greedy and physically abusive villain without a single redeeming quality or PetTheDog moments. You'll wish for his demise to be [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill much more violent]] than what it ended up being.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: It takes a while before he finally gets his comeuppance, until then he's very lucky to have come across Rune allowing him to become a rich showman.
* RepulsiveRingmaster: Adam sets up a huge circus business with Rune as the star attraction for being a TalkingAnimal. Of course, any time Rune refuses to listen correctly (such as when he's asked to whip the other lions, or when he allows a group of lions to nap in the middle of a performance) Adam beats the living daylights out of him.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: Kimba acts more like a democratic leader than he acts like a king. In several episodes, Kimba loses the faith of his people by doing something that goes against their will, once even putting things to a vote and leaving the jungle because his people didn't want him. Rather than "ruling" the jungle or imposing rules that it must follow, he has to prove to his followers that his way of dealing with issues are better overall. The only reason why he's called a "king" in the first place is because his followers respect him that much.

You want to know what the best part is? He receives absolutely no comeuppance for his actions and both him and his son survive the end of the series, whereas [[spoiler:Leo/Kimba and Laiya/Kitty]] do not.
