If it gets unsummoned mid-swing, the momentum loss will be instantaneous and the user might lose balance for a brief moment. It would be even worse when they are moving mid-air since it might also screw up their flight pattern if they are unable to regain balance quick enough.
Spoiler for Rise Of The Replicas:
Residents in the seaside town of Ohara lead their daily lives as they would every day until a few abruptly gasps and points to the formation of five Jabber-type drone units approaching Cape Hachiman.
“What the… Are those…?”
“ISes?”
“Seems like it…”
Unlike the standard Jabber and its Strike variant, these ones sport specialized appearances to replicate unique features of those found on some of the prominent Personal Infinite Stratos from the Infinite Stratos Academy.
Glint Jabber, colored white with thrusters and stabilizers built in the shape of wings like those of Ichika’s Byakushiki and is armed with its own version of the Yukihara sword. Draco Jabber, mounted with twin giant orb-shaped cannons like those of Lingyin’s Shenlong, including the double-bladed scimitar lance and the Shenlong’s trademark purple-violet colors and yellow highlights. Armed with a single long sniper rifle and four wing bits mounted as wings behind its shoulder, the Focus Jabber replicates Cecilia’s Blue Tears all too well especially with the prominent sapphire-blue color scheme.
Despite the undoubtedly wide range of armaments that Charlotte’s Raphael Revive Custom has, the desert-orange Stark Jabber manages to mount a similarly huge payload of weapons, sans the twin shotguns, at the expense of its appearance which shows its jarring technological limits; wrist-mounted machine guns with affixed bayonets, a combination of the Raphael’s Garm sub-machine guns and Bread Slicer knifes, twin assault rifles mounted individually on secondary arms behind the Stark Jabber’s shoulders. Above all, it also mounts a heavy shield on its left arm including the revolving pilebunker that’s partially concealed under the shield.
The last unit in the formation is the jet-black Nacht Jabber. Like the Stark Jabber, its appearance doesn’t mirror its original which is Laura’s Schwarzer Regen and it lacks one of its original’s weaponry, the Active Inertial Canceller. Nevertheless, the Nacht Jabber is equipped with a coilgun over its right shoulder which, unlike the Schwarzer Regen, is belt-fed with customized projectile cartridges connected with disintegrating links. It also sports standard beam blade emitters and rocket anchors on its forelimbs.
The replica Jabbers blatantly ignores the awestruck residents as they cruise across the sky, their sights fixated solely upon one target; the Infinite Stratos Academy.
Castle Of Glass seems like an ideal background music for the Minerva-vs-Replicas battle.
