Reader’s Question:
In episode 3 of Zeke Axes, Machu was blinded by a flashbang, but is that really possible through the MS monitor? No matter how bright the light source is, I think the maximum brightness would be limited to the amount of light emitted by the monitor. A monitor that
emits enough light to burn a human retina seems seriously flawed. Even if we stretch our interpretation to say that Machu’s retina is directly connected to the main camera of the Zeke Axes through the psychommu system, the existence of such a MS wasn’t originally intended (especially in a junkyard clan battle). It feels strange that a psychommu weapon would be equipped with a flashbang, along with a Newtype special attack. How did you all interpret that scene?
Thoughts on the Flashbang Scene in Zeke Axes
Hey there, fellow Zeke Axes enthusiasts! I recently stumbled upon a fascinating discussion regarding a particular scene in episode 3 where Machu experiences a flashbang effect. As a psychology major, I can’t help but dive into the cognitive and perceptual implications of such a moment, so let’s chat about it! The original question raised an intriguing point: is it genuinely feasible for Machu to be blinded by the flashbang through the MS monitor? I mean, how can a mere monitor, which has a limited brightness, cause such a profound effect on someone’s vision? It seems, on the surface, to defy the laws of physics—or at least the physics we’re used to in our everyday lives. As one user pointed out, it’s not just about the monitor’s brightness. The idea that Machu’s retina might be directly wired to the main camera of the Zeke Axes through the psychommu system suggests a whole different level of interaction. It’s like the creators decided to stretch the bounds of reality just a tad, which can be a bit jarring, especially when you consider the setting—a junkyard clan battle, no less! It’s almost comical when you think about it: “Hey, let’s throw in a flashbang in the middle of this chaotic brawl!” The user also mentioned a memorable line from Shuji, asking Machu if he could see beyond the ordinary. This really got me thinking. Perhaps the scene is less about the physical limitations of a monitor and more about the psychological experience of combat. Machu might not actually be seeing through the monitor at all. Instead, he could be experiencing a kind of sensory overload, where the flashbang blinds him not because of direct brightness, but because of a temporary system failure due to overwhelming light. You know, it reminds me of that time I tried to balance studying for finals while working part-time at the judicial scrivener’s office. I thought I could handle it all until one late-night study session left me completely overwhelmed and unable to focus. It felt like my brain just blacked out from the overload—definitely not my finest moment! So, what do you think? Do you believe Machu’s experience was more about the emotional and psychological impact of combat rather than the physical limitations of technology? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any interpretations you might have regarding that scene. Feel free to share your own experiences or insights in the comments below!
