TBH, the giant robot is the more unrealistic of the two from an engineering point of view.

I know it’s not actually “prosthetic” (hence I called it “mecha” legs in my earliest posts). I only used “prosthetic” word for convenience sake. The problem is not only power, but also balance. How can that thin automated exoskeleton can easily balanced itself even with the user continuously struggling plus interference by Kai’s strength? Not only it can balanced itself even with all that but also continuously pushing forward like nothing’s happening to it. It’s a tad impossible if you ask me (and yes, I know about the military exoskeleton they're working on IRL).
I said I was “okay” with the giant robot since that is the premise of this show. Just like in a Gundam show, I’m okay with the giant Mobile Suits but a bit baffled by a certain beam weaponry in it.
