@@mumiaali4821 this projectile takes 90 seconds to travel thousands of kilometers. If its realistic or not is irrelevant, it does travel at extremely high speed.
@@Squeaky_Ben if we had the rough distance and time to impact we could probably establish it's speed.

I love how they just don't fuck around. Every other anime would've had like a 2 minute build-up, targeting, charging, this-thing-where-energy-gets-drawn-into-the-cannon, drama and whatnot. Here it's "target locked" "fire" BOOM.
Hey random comment out the blue on a 3 year old comment XD I'm pretty sure that the propulsion method for a object that big would be nuclear and probably not a rail gun because of the muzzle flash. For a railgun to generate a muzzle flash like that it would be the atmosphere heating up around the shell, same as a re-entry effect, but that's not the case here because there in space.
This is not a super mecha genre so don't expect those cliches, Sidonia is not kind almost every other episode someone is going to die or get assimilated. For them it's life or death situation, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few if they have to shoot someone while fighting a gauna because he's infected/being converted, they fucking will.
The shot of it passing them goes so hard., Love the sense of scale in Nihei's work is amazing, really sums up how empty and vast space is when something that size can just fly past them. Love how brutalist everything is too.
+Taras Shevchenko The tone, the UI the fact they're firing a slug the size of several large apartment complexes. And this is all simply to 'slow down' the Gauna. Just makes it epic.
Chewbacca the blast could be material being vaporized from impact. The blast seems similar to the way a meteorite impact is animated. Kinetic energy can do a lot of scary things
This is so freakin awesome. I love the brutality of the sound effects and how the firing solution looks and sounds. Great stuff, I wish we saw more of these sort of raw power demonstrations in films.
Sidonia actuall has a railgun inside the very middle of the ship. Yes. The railgun barrel is inside the ship, and extends all the way back. Sure, the heavy mass cannon is op as fuck but damn, i want to see that thing fired in the anime.
@@cringelord1809 5 year old comment but what you said reminds me of Halos UNSC ships that also have a Rail gun built in the middle of the ship called a M.A.C.
@@liccasinocomfreespins7337 hell yeah, im familiar with Halo, and i love the mac cannons! Currently working on a ship in spac engineers thats based on the pillar of autumn, massive railgun included!
Still, they could have given it a point for better penetrative power in case they needed it, so all the force is focussed on a smaller point. But still looks cool with it being a massive flat ended cylander slamming into things
@@cyanideeuphoria2606 The concept of a mass driver is to impart as much kinetic energy into a target upon impact as possible. By having the impacting face of the slug being fired tapered, you're reducing the surface area and, thus, the amount of kinetic energy that can be imparted. The slug will be able to pierce through whatever it comes into contact with easier. But, most of that kinetic energy would be wasted. When you're intent is to effectively obliterate your target with sheer force, penetrating capability is a virtual non-issue, especially when your slug is traveling at a sizable fraction of the speed of light, which the mass cannon round we saw fired was.
Its more like a fat rocket made to push problems far away enough where it just gives up, the thing it's firing at cant die by normal means so its more just yeeting it in the opposite direction
+Nikoxion near the end of the manga, it is revealed, that the structure that the residential district tower is built around, is actually, the barrel of Sidonia's largest weapon. A Massive rail-gun, that runs nearly the entire length of sidonia itself, and is so powerful, Sidonia can knock itself off course just by firing it. they do use it in the series, but Sidonia is in a clever orbit around 7, so it can't be knocked off course.
@@monochromidxliquid about that last sentence, you can still be knocked off course in orbit, but it also adds another element to the equation: INSUFFICIENT SPEED TO STAY IN ORBIT! I'd never shoot such a highly recoiling gun IN orbit.
@@electrohalo8798 depends whether you can rotate fast enough to: A) Not kill everyone with such a maneuver (does this ring a bell?) B) Get into position before falling But again... Just fire the engines. Far easier and more practical, maybe less instantaneous acceleration, but far less structural stress as the acceleration is constant.
Yeah, I like how their OS looks and operates. It is rather realistic, especially if you can read what's on the screen, they actually make sense and not just bunch of random shapes and words.
When I first heard Heavy Mass Cannon I first thought of something like the MAC from Halo. This surpasses what I originally thought in terms of power, size and damage.
Just use the same ammo, but accelerate it up to 20% of the speed of light and just watch the target get flash heated into a superheated ball of plasma from the resulting discharge of kinetic energy, assuming the target is even big enough to feel the full effects and the slug doesn't just carry on threw it like a bug on a windshield
@Diamond colony647 yep sidonia's main railgun is close to 28 KM's long ( sidonia itself is about 29 km's long) and 400 meters wide give or take let that sink in for a minute
@Diamond colony647 Granted firing the damn thing comes with many dangers so they try to never use it. In fact as far as I remember we only see it used once.
too bad these portrayed displays were not of a GA level military power. though enough for the natives of that one part of their reality's to be okay to availably use now, I guess....
This is and has been one of my favorite scenes in this anime. This is also how it feels for me when I'm playing my storm, firing my devastator at my enemies in anthem.
20kg at sufficient speeds is still an insanely powerful projectile. The Heavy Mass Cannon deffinitly out classes anything Mass Effect can handle though, even Reapers would run screaming from that monstrosity
Hilariously, the Sidonia could probably cripple or destroy the Deathstar with just this cannon without even risking entering the super laser's targetting range. Because in space, an object in motion stays in motion until it *hits something*
And this is one of the weaker weapons. They have planet destroyer missiles, and the ship itself is a literal cannon. And the end-game weapon is, well, unstoppable in every sense (big manga spoilers so I can't say more than that).
@@kenetickups6146 it takes the Deathstar several minutes to target a slow moving ship, a relativistic projectile would have hit by the time the sensors officer(s) reported the projectile
There is no way, to destroy Gauna, without Kabizashi. Even antiplanetary weapon can't destroy their core. So people had no choice but to run. As it was mentioned in first season, there was more than 500 ships like Sidonia, most of them were probably absorbed by the Gaunas.
Also the only material able to destroy the gauna is so rare and precious in the first season that sacrificing a platoon of mechs and their pilots to recover a lost spear is a reasonable tactic.
@@wolfwarrior1176 it probably does, but then the core instantly seals itself back. Kabi kills gaunas with something akin to extreme allergic reaction rather than simple kinetic piercing.
Likely vaporised metals or other matirials from the railgun's contact rails... unless it's a gauss cannon in wich case it might be some manner of barrel liner to reduce friction as the slug is accelerated... possibly both given the size of that slug. Although if it *WAS* Cherenkov Radiation that could imply that the slug is accelerated by one or more nuclear blasts, maybe eve in combonation with said magnetic accelerators, getting that beast of a slug up to speed would be challenging to say the least. Heck, with a slug that big it could be a Nuclear shaped charge and just vaporise anything with debris, extreme heat, and ungodly radiation that nothing could survive without breaking down into a cloud of charged particles, ain't nothing in the 'verse that could take that no matter what you make it out of, no need for super scifi materials or exotic energy, just brutal nuclear might
@@p.b.7717 Very interesting speculation on the slug, NGL, and yeah, Pykrete / ice as a ship armor is smart, it's abundant, radiation absorbent, re-useable, and quite tough, apparently during WW2 there was a project to try to make a massive super-carrier out of a giant refrigerated hull of Pykrete both because it could be tough as heck and easy to repair, it's also insulation enough to stay solid for a long time even when heated (thus it would probably be energy weapon resistant too). also if the slug itself still had enough nuclear material in it after launch and compressed it to critical on impact, that would add a spectacular extra kick of damage
@@UNSCPILOT The slug likely is just a cylinder of solid metal. Probably Iron as thats easy to come by in space. They probably use the nuclear warhead to help fire it. Namely by having a nuclear divide (probably a very large fusion warhead) bedded in water. When you detonate the device the water is instantly turned into quickly expanding plasma and the shockwave is absolutely astronomic. The water would explain the blue glow as water is hydrogen, which glows pinkish blue and oxygen, which glows blue. As a funny anecdote. This is why the Americans might also have been the first to shoot something into space by accident, as they created such a nuclear cannon during an underground test in 1957 and shoot a 500 kilo steel plate into the sky with at least six times escape velocity, roughly 240,000 km/h. While its likely it vaporized on its way to space, there is a chance it did survive and is still going somewhere in the solar system.
It's funny how the Guana practically gets SQUISHED by a super large Coilgun, but survives because it wasn't STABBED with a special lance. Other than that, ignore my habit of nitpicking. It's a really good show.
At first, they had only a very limited amount of the material (to the point that recovering a lance was more important than saving pilots). When they discovered how to make it, they naturally invented bullets and guns.
I never noticed this but after rewatching the show last week I noticed they take liberties in how they show sidonias perspective with the camera. Sometimes it's sideways, sometimes vertical... Very confusing. But this one is complete nonsense. The firing solution for this canon is a bit wonky? It's clearly the back of the ship near the engines but it's supposed to be firing from the front? Surely they should have a bunch of them on all sides regardless of stern or port. Anyway, I've thought about this too much. Awesome scene!
You know you're fuck when you see a gigantic slug round whirled towards you... Even thou the Gauna isn't dead but hit by something like that must really hurt.
I wish i could chat about it with someone, people either focus on mecha or romancing the talking space penis. The whole topic of becoming a monster to survive and fight monsters is fascinating.
there was a much longer clip that showed the asteroid job leading up this final moment, which was pretty impactful (especially for that character). Guess it got too many views for youtube's taste :/
This fool just better be glad that Killy from Blame! didn't fire his Graviton Radiation Emitter. Aka, Hangun of God. Look it up for a good laugh, you'll thank me later. Here's the in-depth explanation for people who like that kind of stuff, like me: *SPOILER* Imagine a small black handgun about the size of something James Bond would use, only it has the ability to pierce through about 50 Miles (yes, with an M) of solid titanium, then detonates everything along its path without about the force of a 300 megaton nuclear warhead. It's akin to killing an anthill by dropping an asteroid on it or some shit, no exaggeration. Oh, and and it can blow up moons with one shot. The bullet, or beam, also simply looks like a little needle has been fired lol. You can't make this shit up. Technical/Physics based explanation: It's essentially a black hole gun, or singularity generator. Everything in the path of the bullet is literally warped in space-time and essentially imploded then exploded with the force of a supernova. No known material in the universe can withstand it, as it literally warps any known substance (hell, matter itself) into and then deatomizes it with a 100& release of energy. The kickback of the weapon is also so strong that it is like firing a tank, only with your arm. Breaking the main character's arm (who is a super power cyborg) on multiple occasions. Pretty much my favorite sci-fi/anime weapon to date and takes a huge piss on a lightsaber, which is essentially a toothpick to this thing. /epic rang over. If that doesn't make you want to read the manga Blame!, nothing will. A MUST, and one of the best, coolest, most experimental mangas/animations we have. It has influenced so much and not many people even know because it's so out there and downright incomprehensible in most areas.
+mercilessv If only it were available in english. I truly hope that with the news of a theatrical release we will also see an american distributor who will start publishing it again. #Burninhelltokyopop
Still don't get how your Mass Driver video is still going while my Higgs Particle Cannon video from KoS was struck down on day one. I swear copyright logic of UA-cam is nonexistant. What is is about the extremely satisfying fire sequence of the HGP that makes it impossible to stay up on YT? I STILL can't find any video of it here on UA-cam. Yet other KoS clips are fine!
Enough to lob the entire Saturn 5 rocket to the moon, several times over, the entire rocket, not just the capsule and lander, and that's still underselling the forces involved by orders of magnitude
Bruh and that’s just the teeny tiny side canon… image that fking brick in the front hole!!! 💀 Death Star and star killer base charging up their laser at sidonia.. mean while Sidiona already done lunched a big ass bring actual is large enough to kill the dinosaurs 10x over at them.. and that’s still not even the main front canon.. 😂
They are working on this side thing called blame right now which seems to be part of the same universe, possibility for a season 3 is still in the air for sure
The manga has such better shots of the action. It's absurd how a comic book can have better "cuts" than animation at times. Then again, this is Polygon pictures we're talking about.
only thing that see wrong here is the art for the ship where round came from has it set leaveing ship from front but round is shown firing from the rear of the ship but still fuckin epic!
+devastator5042 at 0:18 when shows round going from ship on the screen its moveing from the front side not the aft pay attention please. by how its going the top right of the screen pic should been were round is shown going but instead its bottom left which is front section of the ship.
The fact that guns were useless really hampered the story , why did the author think using a unique weapon to kill every single enemy was good for the story?
You most probably know this by now, but the asteroid isn't integral part of the ship, but rather a collection of random space rocks, gathered to be mined later and holding onto Sidonia by sheer force of gravity alone. I'm only commenting this because it's one of the most clever things in the show imo.
First or not, it is still a sound concept based on realistic plans, no need to shame them for such a well grounded yet awesome idea especially when it's rarely used or even more rarely used properly
@Truth Troll not sure but eren will wreck them since he can control titans plus they have levi and mikasa there you have tanikaze and tsumugi but they will cause a lot of damage
I love how brutally functional the Sidonia looks. A hideous massive brick with two huge engines forged out of an asteroid, love it.
that thing comes from toha heavy industry so i think thats not even its final form :p

This is why the Americans might also have been the first to shoot something into space by accident, as they created such a nuclear cannon during an underground test in 1957 and shoot a 500 kilo steel plate into the sky with at least six times escape velocity, roughly 240,000 km/h. While its likely it vaporized on its way to space, there is a chance it did survive and is still going somewhere in the solar system.
シドニアの騎士は戦闘シーンもこういうシーンも質量感、エネルギー感がすごい。
It's funny how the Guana practically gets SQUISHED by a super large Coilgun, but survives because it wasn't STABBED with a special lance. Other than that, ignore my habit of nitpicking. It's a really good show.
from what I can gather, the Kabizashi kills the Gauna because of a chemical reaction with the Gauna core instead of any kinetic effect.
I see. Interesting to know.
Taras Shevchenko that's correct. There's a point later on where Nagate kills a gauna by lightly touching it with the tip of a kabizashi.
+itsapainfulworld The Gauna mass surely was destroyed, but the core not. =D
At first, they had only a very limited amount of the material (to the point that recovering a lance was more important than saving pilots). When they discovered how to make it, they naturally invented bullets and guns.
重質量砲とか文字通りの塊を発射するってシンプルな兵器好き。
当たっても、のけぞらせたり追い払う程度しかできないって設定なのもガウナのつよさを物語ってる。
0:14 HMC fired on the stern right
0:16 HMC trajectory on the port side
Bien vu Michelle
Depending on which way is considered "Up" in the ship, the camera shot from outside may well just be upside-down
I never noticed this but after rewatching the show last week I noticed they take liberties in how they show sidonias perspective with the camera. Sometimes it's sideways, sometimes vertical... Very confusing. But this one is complete nonsense. The firing solution for this canon is a bit wonky? It's clearly the back of the ship near the engines but it's supposed to be firing from the front? Surely they should have a bunch of them on all sides regardless of stern or port. Anyway, I've thought about this too much. Awesome scene!
You know you're fuck when you see a gigantic slug round whirled towards you...
Even thou the Gauna isn't dead but hit by something like that must really hurt.
The shits don’t feel pain or feel really little pain it seems.
Found this vid, commenting for everyone to receive a notification and learn that movie is coming 🕺
I wish i could chat about it with someone, people either focus on mecha or romancing the talking space penis. The whole topic of becoming a monster to survive and fight monsters is fascinating.
Gauna: exists
Sidonia ship: goodnight girl see you tomorrow
HMC - heavy mass cannon IPM - interplanetary missile
It's just so satisfied
They have a forward facing particle cannon like the one on their mechs, but it's at least as big as the heavy mass cannon.
*Doom Slayer has entered the chat*
Can we just remember the fact that 15 seconds prior to this clip a girl got consumed alive by that alien?
So it's a stupid huge coilgun firing slugs the size of buildings. Sweet.
IMO, that's more than a building seemingly, it's more like a city block... or two.
Seriously love this cannon regardless of the size of the slug
And that is why we do not fire from the hip.
"...it keeps going until it hits something, somewhere, somehow!..."
Ah, Mass Effect 2, good stuff
How people want to break their bag of ice cubes.
一つ気付いたんだが、重質量砲はシドニアの後部から射出してるはずなのに、モニター上では前部から射出した事になってるな。
Here in the west we are a bit annoyed that this getting a film instead of a third season, what say you Japan?
They better at least have a good version of this scene, or the whole movie would be a waste, wouldn't it?
Im impressed it survived that.
Im planning on Replicating Sidonia in Space Engineera
mechs with linking features to literally rain orbital shells on enemies is something I surely wish was a thing
Someone should dub over 00:21 with Jeff goldblum going, "must go faster, must go faster, gogogogogogogo!
This show was so freaking cool. Shame it was never finished
It will be finished, a movie is in the works. It will be the ending from the manga.
but really if you read the manga till the end the end had a really random ending
Fanfics might never come to light or if the story would continue
I would love to see a game set in any of Nihei's universes
And hell- about this anime, I love the sounds of the targetting interface
The smoke from the heavy mass cannon made a pp
You don't need aerodynamics when you're in SPACE!
Sir Isaac Newton is the Deadliest Son of a Bitch in Space.
Hmm needs more Dakka
im here again after watching the last movie 😄
there was a much longer clip that showed the asteroid job leading up this final moment, which was pretty impactful (especially for that character).
Guess it got too many views for youtube's taste :/
when you got that super gawk gawk 3000 combo and killstreak
whats the intense song name called? when the cannon fires
Phantom
Its called Eikou No Tsugumori off of the OST.
Earth
Thanks
This fool just better be glad that Killy from Blame! didn't fire his Graviton Radiation Emitter.
Aka, Hangun of God. Look it up for a good laugh, you'll thank me later. Here's the in-depth explanation for people who like that kind of stuff, like me:
*SPOILER*
Imagine a small black handgun about the size of something James Bond would use, only it has the ability to pierce through about 50 Miles (yes, with an M) of solid titanium, then detonates everything along its path without about the force of a 300 megaton nuclear warhead. It's akin to killing an anthill by dropping an asteroid on it or some shit, no exaggeration. Oh, and and it can blow up moons with one shot. The bullet, or beam, also simply looks like a little needle has been fired lol. You can't make this shit up. Technical/Physics based explanation: It's essentially a black hole gun, or singularity generator. Everything in the path of the bullet is literally warped in space-time and essentially imploded then exploded with the force of a supernova. No known material in the universe can withstand it, as it literally warps any known substance (hell, matter itself) into and then deatomizes it with a 100& release of energy. The kickback of the weapon is also so strong that it is like firing a tank, only with your arm. Breaking the main character's arm (who is a super power cyborg) on multiple occasions. Pretty much my favorite sci-fi/anime weapon to date and takes a huge piss on a lightsaber, which is essentially a toothpick to this thing. /epic rang over.
If that doesn't make you want to read the manga Blame!, nothing will. A MUST, and one of the best, coolest, most experimental mangas/animations we have. It has influenced so much and not many people even know because it's so out there and downright incomprehensible in most areas.
+mercilessv If only it were available in english. I truly hope that with the news of a theatrical release we will also see an american distributor who will start publishing it again. #Burninhelltokyopop
I have already completed this Manga. Too bad there's no anime adaption except for some OVA's
Polygon's makinG A BLAME MOVIE WOOOOOOOOOO
Link?
run to the hills
overkill is underrated
Lol they can't kill gauna without kabi
Need the next series!!!!!
I bet this is the sibling of bfg 10000 or some sorts
Still don't get how your Mass Driver video is still going while my Higgs Particle Cannon video from KoS was struck down on day one.
I swear copyright logic of UA-cam is nonexistant.
What is is about the extremely satisfying fire sequence of the HGP that makes it impossible to stay up on YT?
I STILL can't find any video of it here on UA-cam. Yet other KoS clips are fine!
Someone please tell me what the music in this scene is
"Eikou no Tsugumori" from the soundtrack.
Yea...Its really good
Heavy mass cannon? Isn't that an IPM interplanetary missile!!
I wonder what the recoil on that thing is like?
Enough to lob the entire Saturn 5 rocket to the moon, several times over, the entire rocket, not just the capsule and lander, and that's still underselling the forces involved by orders of magnitude
I just now realized at 0:13 seconds, right when it fires you can see sidonia begin to drift backwards from the recoil of the gun
Bruh and that’s just the teeny tiny side canon… image that fking brick in the front hole!!! 💀 Death Star and star killer base charging up their laser at sidonia.. mean while Sidiona already done lunched a big ass bring actual is large enough to kill the dinosaurs 10x over at them.. and that’s still not even the main front canon.. 😂
when you realise, what they fired is just the secondaries (those who followed the manga and anime will understand what i'm implying here"
Every time I see that projectile it strangely reminds of a massive pill
The music of this scene, What it’s name?
Eikou no Tsugumori
Taras Shevchenko thank you 😊
That's what you called . . heavy
More like Yamato in space....Its a fully functioning warship traveling the galaxy....
And I thought that 12ga tungsten slugs hurt... or that project mjolner packed a punch.
yeah.. I don't think a glass of water and a aspirine is gonna fix that.
Season 3...?wh3n???!!!!?
5/3/2016 nothing has been said about third season :'(
fuvvvvvvk
They are working on this side thing called blame right now which seems to be part of the same universe, possibility for a season 3 is still in the air for sure
The manga has such better shots of the action. It's absurd how a comic book can have better "cuts" than animation at times. Then again, this is Polygon pictures we're talking about.
only thing that see wrong here is the art for the ship where round came from has it set leaveing ship from front but round is shown firing from the rear of the ship but still fuckin epic!
no that cannon is in the rear
+devastator5042 at 0:18 when shows round going from ship on the screen its moveing from the front side not the aft pay attention please.
by how its going the top right of the screen pic should been were round is shown going but instead its bottom left which is front section of the ship.
That image on screen is obviously not the correct scale. It's just a positional marker.
not very good positional marker then
The fact that guns were useless really hampered the story , why did the author think using a unique weapon to kill every single enemy was good for the story?
Shit son anyone have an idea how large and long that slug was?
0:25.....I'd say....... pretty big
Another Asteroid-turned-into-a-ship, eh?
Marathon did it first.
You most probably know this by now, but the asteroid isn't integral part of the ship, but rather a collection of random space rocks, gathered to be mined later and holding onto Sidonia by sheer force of gravity alone. I'm only commenting this because it's one of the most clever things in the show imo.
First or not, it is still a sound concept based on realistic plans, no need to shame them for such a well grounded yet awesome idea especially when it's rarely used or even more rarely used properly
@@Kickiusz that is cool
The gauna be like, Dafug
And get rid of that giant pink thing
Manga feels better i guess
Fire really huge@$$ bullet
Now instead of just the slug, they should shoot a long rod, tungsten kinetic penetrator APFSDS rounds.
Amazing anime. Better than Attack on Titan imo.
AoT was inspired by this show back when it was just a manga.
@Truth Troll not sure but eren will wreck them since he can control titans plus they have levi and mikasa there you have tanikaze and tsumugi but they will cause a lot of damage
@Truth Troll im really sorry,i didn't mean to be rude but they have levi tho and i know gaunas are big and have long tentacles
@Truth Troll i think you have a point also have you watch darling in the franxx
@Truth Troll it's really good
