Maybe the physical armor was also taken into account. On that note, did Houki have trouble slicing up the physical armor of the golem which ran out of shield energy? (probably wasn't even mentioned though) Ah well, I'll just chalk it up to her not expecting it to be that powerful. She must've thought it was just on the level of Laura's railgun or something that can delay the opponent's attack. After seeing Tatenashi's huge explosion wasn't enough to defeat the first golem, I'm sure she thought that no attack can just blow the golem up in one move. But now that she knows its power, I'm afraid of what she's going to use Ugachi for in the future fights (long distance one shot). And thanks for the summary yet again. |

The core has and extra defense since it's made from a special rare material. Even a strong punch from Ichika's IS is not enough to destroy the exposed core. Probably every IS student know about this. Either that or it's another plot hole why she didn't shoot the core. I also mentioned it back then about this, but I chalk it up to Houki not expecting the weapon to be that powerful and try the safe way.

Okay, great summary, but isn't it a bit contradictory? Tabane said that unmanned IS are weaker than piloted ones, but then how come Ichika and his harem, even with Tatenashi, had such a hard time dealing with it?Or is this one of Tabane's miscalculations?

When she said "weaker than piloted ones", it was probably more on the potential sense. An IS will only improve and reach its maximum potential when it's being piloted by someone while unmanned machines just stay on the same level as it was when it was made.

And when you say "activated the amulet of Tatenashi", he did activate it at the same time as the punch right? If it was at the same time as the punch, it makes sense to just use the punch since it lets his arm holding the amulet near the core of the golem. The punch's purpose then is to let the amulet be near the core. He probably thought it was wiser to follow Tatenashi's plan than try and slash it (it also lets Tatenashi have the spotlight for the finishing blow). |

Personally, I would've just let Houki take another shot at it with Ugachi for the safest method. Unless of course Ugachi has limited ammo that can't be replenished by Kenran Butou or something. And I guess the author can't really let someone outshine the heroines of the volume Tatenashi and Kanzashi so that idea is out. |

It will never be Ichika..........if the author begins directing the story towards the Ichika-Madoka - which is ought to be connected to Phantom Task & Tabane-Houki - when my bet would be Madoka..........hot cover of Madoka / Younger Chifuyu is ought to sell. This cover my also work if next volume is a flashback
