Episode 22, when they tested the new weaponry. He flew his VF-25 recon version and he mentioned himself that they can only intercept fold waves within 100 km radius and that the others should not find out about the new weaponry. Not sure if this is a translation error by Thora. By "others" he can only mean the Vajra however it can be mixed up with NUNS or SMS, but would not make any sense.

my 2 cents would be since they are a hive mind like race, the queen or the other vajara probably had a rough idea what killed the drone and how to mitigate future damage. However don't quote me on that one as I don't honestly know my self

At the end fight I think the weapon advantage was with Frontier but Vajra had just pure quantity and a coordinated combat strategy when linking with Grace which makes it difficult to surpass. Why I am saying it like this is because I looked up the details of Frontier and Galaxy and the only technical difference between the battle pods are interior and electronics. If the Vajra would have adapated the technology of Galaxy, then the HQB arsenal should be ineffective but it was quite effective until the very end. You don't need to be immune, you just need to avoid it or create the proper anti missile gunpods or flares.

And SMS wasn't back when Frontier attacked the Vajras in episode 24.

And I was talking about the MDE bullets, not the big bombs. ^^

I knew this was coming Flares and Anti Missile weaponry would work against this but the Vajra has to "learn" more about this technology first. That's why it was important to keep this information from them in episode 22.

Yes. The preview for the final episode says "We didn't have time to animate anything, so watch us turn the page." - No preview and only the title displayed over a pretty pic would have looked better.

So I think maybe they had time to animate stuff, they just chose not to. |

It was the best-looking and -sounding version I could find quickly. And yeah...it's amazing how much I disliked that song back in the day, and how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel now. |

As for implants, note this: if implants were mandatory, and if Grace (and some other) wanted to use Sheryl, she would be the last person to be allowed an exception, selling point or not. So implant-less people were not just an underground minority. Quote:
And as for sexuality... Sheryl isn't that well-endowed, you know. Nanase isn't worse than her, and then there are micronized zentraedi (except Klan). So Sheryl was ultimately spot on: the most important reason for male gaze n her breasts is the voice of the owner - not the other way around, and Sheryl surely knew that. She ddn't realised her popularity was fabricated, but the effects - and limits - of it she knew pretty well. Anyway other points: - The fleet truly seems to grow bigger and better. - Indeed the only way to escape MDE is to evade it. But this won't work for Carriers - and not for Queen, so it is a very dangerous tactic. - The giant Vajra is probably symbolic. Or it was a supercarrier. - For somebody dying, Sheryl is full of energy. She was probably prepared literally to sing to death. - "Sagittarius one"? now that's a cruel joke! - VF-27 is WAY better than VF-17X |
