    The thing that steals my heart in this clip is Norea suddenly shacking her head when Aerial forms her beam cannon and she realizes they are in over their heads. That bit of animation is breathtaking imo.

      @@bthsr7113 Photons have energy and momentum, and a laser produces so many photons per second at that energy for a given power output. A large laser that is meant for mining at a distance, quickly cutting through metals and minerals, is definitely going to generate a nonzero force. Having rockets that fire to adjust and constrain aim makes sense to me. In a free vacuum, there is no air resistance or gravity, so any force is going to act totally on the mass of the Gundam, but the acceleration will be proportional to the force, of course.

    @finaldarkfire Рік тому +841

    One VERY interesting detail about Aerial in this scene; It's been confirmed that the green-colored beams we've been seeing up to now are the result of the weapons being set to very low-power, ie; the 'training'/'exhibition'/'competition' setting. Whereas the pink and other colored beams we saw in the prologue in this episode represent beam weapons at their standard/full power. Meaning that giant mega-buster blast that can melt an MS's leg off that was barely even NEAR the blast? Yeah, that was the beam on the LOW-POWER SETTING.
    So yeah, Aerial and Suletta are GODDAMN TERRIFYING and I would not at all be surprised if next season we see them take out a COLONY with that thing.

      That was the chill that shoots up your spine when you see something that is BAD. And seeing the damage that blast, weakened because it is still in "practice mode," inflicted by grazing a mobile suit, it's not outside the realm on possibility that a direct hit would instantly disable a mobile suit. And if the Aerial was actually tuned to lethal output, a graze might outright destroy a mobile suit, like the Unicorn's Beam Magnum.

      Worst case, she doesn't care about a specific target. She'll proliferate the hell out of these weapons without care of consequence to prove her family was right, and this technology is the future. To drive normal mobile suit types extinct as Gundams, Gun Bits, and composite cannons spread across the system. And we know how that song usually goes. We have heard it many times.
      Of course, tragically losing sight of the original intent would would have been pursued in parallel with limited military production to maintain some balance. To heal and to strengthen people for peaceful life in space.
      TLDR, Worst Case: the cannon isn't to shoot someone specific, but to serve as a sales demo along with Aerial and Suletta, hang the consequences.

  • @incap6038
    @incap6038 Рік тому +135

    A few things get me about this scene:-
    1. Suletta mirrors what she said to Guel when she confronted him in Mirone's greenhouse, except with more anger and determination. It's not the first time we've seen her become a completely different person when sat in Aerial, but there's a certain venom in her words.
    2. Aerial's weaponry was operating in low-power mode, evident by the bright green beams. We've seen Ifrith and the Ifrith 'sisters' operate using pink and blue beams which we know are high powered beams used in actual combat. When the large gun fired, the heat from the beam itself was enough to melt the legs off one of the mobile suits from the Dawn of Fold, if that thing had been operating at full power, I imagine they'd of been vaporised by the beam's wake and shockwave alone. Much like the beam magnum from Unicorn.
    3. Even if she's been manipulated by her mother, by brain washing or conditioning, she still stops in the middle of a real battle to learn if her friends are okay.
    4. The music has taken on a more sinister tone, the chanting as the Gund-Bits assemble together to form the large gun, the silence before it fires and the vocals as it pierces the firmament are chilling and give the Aerial less of a heroic and victorious air, but a destructive and chaotic one. Elnora has corrupted the dream of the people who created the Gundam, fashioning it into the ultimate weapon to exact her revenge, and with the appearance of Ifrith Thorn and Ur, the reasons behind her visits to Earth have become a lot more clear.
    5. Norea's panic. This character is the polar opposite to Sophie; calm, collected and somewhat seeming bored of the fighting. It's obvious she's the more level headed of the two, seeing what the Aerial was capable of made her break her composure, but her first act in this panic was to warn her comrades.

    There's a lot of interesting details to make out in this one clip.
    1) The Aerial pushback. You can tell that Sophie's Gundam is a heavier model than Aerial but for Aerial to easily push it out, the Rebuild thrusters are strong or Aerial is just that good.
    2) Aerial Rebuild's low power settings are greater than two other Lfrith Gundams. You see the first fact from the beam saber clash with Sophie's Gundam and the second from the big cannon.
    3) Aerial's GUND Bits are perfectly synchronized with Sulletta as they are defending and attacking Sophie and Norea and switching on the fly.
    4) The Norea shudder. She knows what's coming and knows how outgunned they are once the big gun came into play.
    5) The cannon's settings are still on low power, probably because Prospera and Co. had no time to augment Aerial's settings quickly enough, but still powerful enough to melt Mobile Suit armor (as seen with that MS getting its legs melted off). This alone means that a direct hit is fatal, despite the settings being non-fatal.

      @@tenchichan9170 That is eluded to do with the GUND Format. Elan is likely a Witch as well, a failed one, but a Witch nonetheless. All those dubbed as Witches thus far have been people who can survive a permet score of four and higher. Unlike Elan, the Earthan Witches can handle their suits at the higher setting, albeit still in pain. Elan couldn't handle his Gundam even in permet score three, higher was a death sentence (his life span was already heavily reduced from piloting his Gundam). Elan 4 even mentions the whole reason he wants Aerial is because it doesn't attempt to break him to use like every Gundam he has been in thus far, and he hated Suletta for being a Witch just like him, but one who didn't have to suffer like him. The Higher ups even called him a failed test product not just because he failed to secure the Aerial but because he failed to be a successful Gundam pilot/Witch in general. Prospera talking with Elan's handler even mentions she knows they are still working on "that project" the artificial creation of Witches to pilot Gundams (alluded to). This makes me suspect Prospera worked on the same project on her own and perfected it with Suletta as Suletta cannot be the same child as what was in the prologue as the ages so not match. Only way Suletta is Eri is if she was thrown into cryo. Then there is the issue with Aerial. It's named Aerial, not Lfrith. The Gundam from episode 0 is called a Lfrith, a prototype. Aerial.

    Sunrise is probably the last bastion of 2D-animated mecha, though they also mix 3D near-seamlessly as well.
