Of course!

Akutagawa and Adam are dark-clad antagonists with close, personal ties to one of the heroes, Dazai (Akutagawa's former mentor and superior) and Blake (Adam's former pupil and lover) respectively. Because of this personal connection, they have a rather personal vendetta against certain feline heroes with special powers revolved around defence. Both of them portray themselves as calm and calculating individuals, even though both are filled to the brink with rage and envy towards someone close to their former ally (Atsushi and Yang).

In an interesting parallel, however, Akutagawa relies entirely on his Ability to fight, with him being too weak to fight physically. Adam, however, fights mainly with his weapons and physical prowess, with his Semblance being mostly passive. In another contrast, Akutagawa managed to swallow his issue with Atsushi at least once for the greater good, whereas Adam slowly but surely fell further and further until his demise.
