Now the other point you made was that even if the bombing happened the way I think it did, the Angels would still have gotten a face full of nuke. I agree that is an option, I figure the gate opened a fraction later and the energy was mostly used to help rip open the time/space fabric after which it sucked up Tokyo. But here's a reason which you may find more convincing: why didn't the angels just step back through the portal if this environment was so bad for them and they had used up their energy? If going through the gate is a breeze why didn't they just say "screw you guys, I'm goin home" and went back? Can the gate only be used in one direction? Ten million people already went the other way and Gido seems to think it's possible so I'd say the trip itself sucked up their power and they didn't dare to return again afraid another trip would kill them.


btw. I'm curious what happened to the Angel which Gido saw emerging from the gate in chapter 110. Was that the second Angel he had to deal with after he saved Kasumi(or at least half of her)?

I don't think the dimensional weapon did all that damage, we have to much debris around the black spot, if the dimensional weapon did do all that damage, it would just be a flat surface with no ruble. Also if everyone got sucked up, how come their were people still around in the black spot that eventually turned into Needless?

I think the weapon went off, had a fairly short range, the two Angels were sucked up and then everything was nuked, I think they were too confused to know what the hell was happening and didn't know about the gate to return.

Arclight is pretty fanatical, he wouldn't dare admit the angels were hurt by Earthly weapons, that's why I think he used the words "used up their energy".

Its impossible to know the true order of events without further explanation, this is just the way I interpret it.

The Angel Gido had to be after rescued Kasumi, who else would be strong enough to handle a Angel?
