^ Yamada's fragment also seems to be useful against ordinary attacks judging from the pic below.
Blade uses Yamada as a shield against the clone soldiers bullets. I know it seems to be solely intended as a joke, but it looks like one of those bullets is stopped by Yamada's foot. I'm not sure if this couldn't just be a small mistake, but I'm keeping it in the back of my mind while pondering about Aegis shield.
