I mad. I so mad. This is beyond "Oh he's lucky." This is Deus Ex Bullshita. "Oh what's that, you're gonna get your shit wrecked, no worries let me just hand wave away that laser. Can't have my precious self insert getting hurt in any way!"Episode 3 when?

What the hell even was that energy storm made up of anyway, for it to just stop beams?
>>14064253
both of the pilots shit their pants when that happened.
>>14064294
I-lightning?
>>14064253

It's not as if Gundam is above tossing in space magic with no real explanation, or at best a really flimsy one. It's best to just chalk it up to the fact it's a cartoon and take it all in stride.
That being said, It'd be kinda cool to see a Gundam where very explicit space magic is a central feature of the plot so that it doesn't feel like the writers are half-assing things and they'd be forced to flesh out the concept.
Newtype pseudoscientific babble doesn't count. I'm talking like actual, in-context fucking magic.

Yeah, the whole point of megaparticle beams is that they're electrically neutral and aren't affected by magnetic fields or electrical discharges. So I guess that's I-Field lightning, or some bulshit like that?
>>14064365
These are the same fucks who think the way to show a tactical nuke being launcher looks like a giant fuck you beam.
>>14064350
They really oughta flesh out the Shinigami from IGLOO 2. Show us what she was doing during ZZ and Unicorn.

But when chirico does it it's fine right?
>>14065022
Chirico has plot armour in that it's literally part of the plot.
>>14064253
That was bad, true. It's as if the writer wanted to show that Derry would have already won the battle.
It would have been more elegant if Io had avoided the blow and then Darry was able to save himself without magic. It would also be a way to demonstrate the skills of the two pilots without these gratuitous crap.

Nuclear bazooka =/= nuclear launcher
Its a directed nuclear blast using I-fields

Please no
>>14065022
Because Votoms has some actual value outside of pretty flashing colours, unlike Thunderbolt
>>14064253
He's just lucky. What makes you think it's beyond that?
Even in real life there's plenty of people having sheer luck so impossible that if they put it in a fiction, people like you will complain about how unrealistic it is..
>>14065403
i remember that f-15 that landed safely with just one wing
damn plot armor right OP?
The guy just got lucky, is not like they're trying to spin it as if he intended for it to happen
>>14065027
Its not plot armor if you are a god

>>14066906
its the worse episode so far anyways
>>14064253
Actuallyboth of them get this. Daryl is later saved by a lightning bolt, too. Everyone gets one free shot.
