Spoiler for response:

Now are you sure it's not one of those Sonic Blades they've been using up till now? They look quite similar except beams I would imagine could damage the Gundams while the Sonic Blade hasn't been able to do much of anything.

Spoiler for Response:

No, its defenitly a beam saber. There is no sonic blade visible, and its a red beam, so its probably belongs to one of the Thrones.

I am kinda curious how the beam saber will work out of Gundam's hand. I always thought that beam saber required to be connected to the Gundam.

Well, sometimes Beam sabers are used as throwing weapons. So it needs to function independently of the MS at least some of the time. The only restriction I could think of is it might need recharging after a while by returning to its sheath.

According to a rough summary of the weapon info from the HG Gundam Throne Eins:

Which would explain how Graham would be able to keep a jacked beam saber active.

I think only the Exia has those kind of beam sabers and just a pair of them and it is the only one that would throw a beam saber, but yes they must somehow function without direct contact with the gundam, at least for some minutes.

Nope. ALL the Gundams in 00 have beam sabers, they come with the modelkits. It's just that Exia has the most reason to use them. Lockon used one against Graham.

Beam sabers have reliability issues, so the Gundams don't use them as the main weapons.

I still find it hard to believe they are siblings. The closest that i m willing to go to believe they are related by blood while still sharing the same last name is if they had different mothers or fathers. i.e being half-brothers/sisters, they either all had the same fathers but different mothers or vice versa.
