Just the Boomerang Coast. Darwin, Perth and other smaller population centers were probably okay. Well, relatively. I assume they'd still feel some effect of such a massive impact, but it doesn't seem like they were wiped. It might have even made parts of the interior more habitable given the coastal re-arrangement that went on.

The Notorious ZSB posted:That clip is actually one of the bigger struggles I had with Victory. You have a group of people who are willing to commit all kinds of heinous acts on the people of earth for their desires. Zanscare is so comically evil they use the guillotine as a fear tactic, but for some reason their hardened soldiers are really bothered by the idea that their war might create child soldiers? He's not the only one to have this reaction either from their side, it's like a running theme for at least the first 1/3rd of the show. I found it to be a huge disconnect, I understand its supposed to make us empathize with them, but for me it made it even harder to. It was a really difficult intellectual disconnect for this guy to be super bothered by a child piloting a war machine when they were perfectly comfortable genociding children, families etc in Uso's home district in the opening of the series by wiping out an entire city with no warning. Yeah, that right there is probably the reason why that clip is all I'll ever watch of Victory Gundam. I can see that being a giant point of disconnect that ruins the show.

Just frequent meteor showers from space debris ravaging the continents to content with, nothing out of the ordinary. You're already looking at a hundred million+ dead during the attacks on Zahn, Hatte, Moore and Granada, then a good couple billion during Operation British, and then god only knows how many civilians were massacred during Loum. Loum might be the deadliest single day action in the whole war, considering that Operation British's mass casualties were mostly due to the after effects of the colony drop than the impact itself.

LuiCypher posted:"Bright tries to be a good guy" is one way to reduce the plots of almost all UC Gundam series to one sentence. Bright Noah is consistent and constant in terms of being a good guy throughout nearly all of the major UC series, and he's rewarded for this by unknowingly killing his own son in EU novels/manga through said dedication. To be fair, if Tomino made that now he's very likely to not only have Hathaway finally realize what a poo poo he's been but give both him and Bright a happy ending. He'd probably have Hathaway help Bright, Mirai and Cheimin open the restaurant and end with all of them happily working together. Even if Sunrise incorporate it somehow as lots of people imagine it's likely to end much more happily, both because Tomino would want it and because Sunrise doesn't really do depressing endings in their shows anymore. LuiCypher posted:My YouTube link does include the best part of that scene, which is the robot dick punch The really stupid thing is that I did watch the whole video, but then blanked out that last bit for some reason. Corin is just a fun guy, and one thing I noticed while re-watching Turn-A at one point a while back is that after he returns in the finale Harry offers him a SUMO and he turns it down to customize a Kapool and use that instead. Although, that said, he might have survived if he'd been using a SUMO. So maybe it wasn't the best decision the dude ever made? It's also worth pointing out that some of the units in Turn-A have a lot of resistance to others, so the WaDoms, FLATs etc. are basically immune to the fire of smaller units like the WaD and Kapool, but the SUMO appears to be immune to almost anything other units like the FLATS can throw at them too while the Turn-A and probably the Turn-X are basically immune to even the SUMO's beam pistols thingies. Hell, the Turn-A's armor appears to be impervious to even the Turn-X's beam cannons since it suffered no external damage from literally dozens of beam cannons shots the one time Gym used the bloody siege attack on it.

chiasaur11 posted:In a week. The only reason why Zeon is less terrible during the war on an individual level is because the Antarctic Treaty was signed to prevent species extinction due to the unimaginable atrocities perpretrated by them at the outset of the war. It was Zeon soldiers who gassed the colony used in Operation British and it was Zeon soldiers who individually murdered all the nearly defenseless colonists who resisted Zeon in space. Dozle, one of the "good ones", was the one who supervised the clearing out of Island Iffish.

Given that the Turn A is self repairing its likely that the Turn A & X are the hardiest MS across any time line. Also kinda makes sense if you accept that they are the absolute end of the Gundam timeline they should be the most impervious units.

Also kinda makes sense if you accept that they are the absolute end of the Gundam timeline they should be the most impervious units. The Turn-A's resistance to beam cannon fire is probably the single best example of unit hardiness in the franchise. At least, it is for a unit under heavy fire from conventional weapons. The Unicorn, Banshee and Wing still display greater resistance though, since they all stood up to colony lasers (or a faux one in Wing's case). The Wing was half destroyed in the process, and both Banshee and Unicorn used psyco-fields to do it and were still nearly destroyed in the process, but they're still more impressive regardless given the sheer scope of the fire involved. https://comfy.moe/wgxyam.webm On a related note and something I was thinking about earlier; I think the SUMO has it's own internal energy barrier despite having an equippable i-field thing too. Maybe the external one is useful because it can be used to imprison other units as well as block incoming fire. Or possibly it's just there because the internal one is hard on the pilot given how it works. Which is interesting technology on it's own, given that the energy barrier is directly powered by the pilot's stamina and using his is the reason Harry was in the hospital in the first place in that scene where he has the fabulous pajamas on. His explanations is that the SUMO and Turn-A both meld the pilot and machine once the pilot sits in, and the pilot partially powers the unit. The Turn-X might have a more advanced version again, given that it's psycommu allows the unit to drain both other machines and their pilots of energy to power itself. https://comfy.moe/rthkeu.webm I don't think we see any other technology powered by the pilot anywhere else in the franchise besides G either. Another link between G and Turn I suppose. Turn-A had a few interesting technologies and Syd Mead noted in an interview I can't recall where I read off hand that the WaDoms were supposed to be grown on the Moon so he was asked to make them a bit more organic and that's why the legs have a unique texture to them aesthetically. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:The Turn-A may be able to self-regenerate but can it self-evolve and self-replicate? The Turn-A uses perfected DG cells according to Tomino's setting notes along with the MG manual, and while it can almost certainly neither self evolve or self replicate it can assimilate it's nanomachines in to the Earth a la the original intention for the Ultimate Gundam as well as store and maintain other technology almost indefinitely. The show confirms that's what the mountain cycles found throughout the show are; caches of technology the Turn-A buried. Or the Turn-X more than likely in the case of the Bandit's Merrybell uses, since I'm pretty sure they were found in a mountain cycle on the Moon. It can't self repair nearly as fast as the Devil Gundam either, possibly another restraint placed on the nanomachines to prevent them going wild. https://comfy.moe/dlfqpd.webm

That's actually more interesting: it means it won't end up with everyone dead except Minerva and a "See the end in Unicorn!" Edit: And the main character is already a hundred times more interesting than Banagher.
