Forgive me for being too nitpicky here, but its new “Innovator” pilot, if you are indeed referring to Descartes Shaman.AnimeMun wrote:3rd place: 00 -> 00 Qan [T] There wasn't much that could be improved with this design. taking off the shoulder based drives in exchange for what seems to be a new internalized twin drive with only one binder-shield is the only way it could have been improved. I always asked myself during S2 "Why the hell aren't these people trying to lop off his GN drives from his arms?" Until Ribbons did it the last episode. Well I don't think we are gonna have that issue with Qan [T]. In fact I think someone (probably the new innovade pilot) is gonna try lopping off the shield then Setsuna is gonna pull something like "No dice" and cut him in half. Probably won't happen but it would make my day.
As for why S2 pilots rarely try to cut of the Drives, its probably because its hard to do that considering how powerful 00 Raiser is in multiple fields. Even Ribbons only manage to do that in a Twin Drive suit of his own. Its very hard just to fight it with close combat just to have a nice clear shot at its arms with a sword. The actual cones are also much less vulnerable from long range attacks due to the 0 Raiser wings directly shielding them. They too rarely can take a lot of beating from beams, if the GN Field doesn’t appear to protect it in the first place. The enemy mechs also did not get Trans-Am until late in the series.
I have that same assumption. They really look like a configuration of Bits to me.AnimeMun wrote:Zabanya's "wings" I've already stated that they now seem like rifle bits to me, am I the ONLY one who thinks this? Mainly if you didn't have that assumption in mind what do you think they'd be?
