Reader’s Question:
I recently started watching Zeta Gundam and the original Mobile Suit Gundam after being drawn in by 米津. I noticed that the Psycho Gundam was ultimately defeated by Sharia Bull’s Kikeroga’s beam, but the beams from Sharia Bull’s fleet, which included a battleship of the same type as the
White Base captured from the Federation, were blocked by the “I-Field.” Why was it that only the Kikeroga’s beam was effective against the Psycho Gundam?
Connecting Over Gundam and Beam Weapons
So, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Gundam lately, sparked by my newfound obsession with 米津 (Yonezu Kenshi). I started watching Zeta Gundam and the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and wow, what a journey! It’s like stepping into a world where giant robots battle it out, and I’m here for it. I recently stumbled upon a discussion about the Psycho Gundam and its infamous defeat by Sharia Bull’s Kikeroga. It got me thinking, and honestly, a bit confused. You see, I remember that the Kikeroga’s beam managed to break through, while other beams from Sharia Bull’s fleet were blocked by the I-Field. It’s a classic case of “why did that work, but this didn’t?”
Speculating the Mechanics
One of the users had some interesting theories. They mentioned that maybe the beam from the Kikeroga was shot from inside the I-Field, which initially sounded reasonable until I remembered how the Psycho Gundam’s left arm got blasted from a distance. It’s like when you think you’ve got the answer to a riddle, only to realize you missed a crucial detail. They also speculated that the I-Field might not be constantly active. Imagine trying to throw a party and realizing you forgot to turn on the music until guests are already dancing – that’s kind of what it sounds like! Then there’s the idea of the I-Field being directional; like having a force field that only protects from certain angles. Kind of like trying to shield yourself from rain under a tiny umbrella – you’re bound to get wet if you’re not careful! But honestly, the most intriguing thought was about the armor’s proximity to the I-Field. It was like the beam found a way in because the armor was all focused on taking out the Kikeroga. There’s something so relatable about that, right? When you’re so focused on one thing that you let something else slip through the cracks.
A Personal Reflection
As I’ve been watching these episodes, I can’t help but draw parallels to my own life. Like, sometimes I get caught up in work or parenting, and I forget to take a breather or spend time with friends. There’s a lesson in there about balance, just like in Gundam battles. And let me tell you, watching these giant robots clash while munching on snacks is a whole vibe. I may have indulged a bit too much in popcorn during one episode, and now my couch is a disaster zone. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? I’d love to hear what you all think! Have you had any moments while watching Gundam that made you reflect on your own life? Or maybe you have your own theories about the I-Field and the Psycho Gundam? Share your thoughts in the comments!
