Also, regarding that mysterious bow gun, I'm wondering if that was at full or minimal power. I mean, was that the extent of damage it could do? This seems unlikely, because that would mean that it's relatively useless. Just how much was it held back?

Only those who have read the novel know who the mysterious man ...
For the weapon that launches Bentenmaru supersonic waves probably is a super powerful weapon that can destroy a continant but there they probably "dropped" the power level right?

Kane said it was a prank of some sort. Misa was having trouble holding the ship steady at station keeping in low orbit. Part of the crew was questioning if this was a good idea, the rest said, Kane asked for it.

Well as I said gun is very powerful and must be so even if they have halved the power, the attack would still be as powerful but making up for not destroying the beach and girls hurt but despite this they were afraid still understandably

Also, I'd wager that the Galactic Empire has an overt rule that lets its members run themselves the way they do, and then has operatives that do not exist eliminating threats to the Empire from the shadows. This man, "Abel", could be one of them, and he's definitely not alone. Quote:
I'd say its a vengeful parent who wants to wreck Hakuoh for one of their graduated members crashing into another dinghy and spraining her daughter's wrist back in the old tournament. Just so happens that said parent is a committee member of the judging board. When in actual fact, both girls involved in the accident have become best friends in Space University, and that the Hakuoh senior deliberately crashed into the other girl to save her life. So after some talking, the conflict ends and they all have parfaits. Everything ends well if you're a pirate! Quote:
Guesstimating from our continuum, the nose cone of rocket craft usually have some sensors inside. Also, these sensors being hull-mounted are much more reinforced than the underslung MSA, and won't snap off on recoil. So by subjecting the buzzard collector sensor suite to the same treatment, you get an improvised, low impact weapon that shoots science. Also, it takes a Science bridge officer to be able to fire off a Charged Particle Burst or a Photonic Shockwave, and Misa is from Science. After all, to shoot a special particle weapon through atmosphere without main computer help would require micro-adjustments from someone who knows how to do it, ie, a Blue Shirt. Or it could just be a Phaser Spinal Lancer dialed down to Low power settings. (Yep, Star Trek has both a Yamato, and a Wave Motion Gun, just that in 2 separate halves. It is not until 2412 when both Yamato and Spinal Lance were united as one) Spoiler for NCC-92199 USS Yamato:
*ahem* Pardon the technobabble.

Starfleet’s main deflector is mostly use for removing real space particles/small objects hazards i.e. it’s tied with artificial gravity(gravitons) type force. The artificial gravity emitters are strong enough to form an artificial quantum singularity(small blackholes) for copying Species 8472's jump drive function. In ST:Online and ST:Voyager Hope And Fear episode, Starfleet’s main deflector is being use for Quantum Slipstream drive i.e. copying Species 116's FTL drive function. On Bentenmaru's FTL, the nose section opens which then glows blue (perhaps subspace emitter function) and "punches" into subspace FTL. In Trek's Quantum Slipstream, Starfleet's deflector is use in a similar function i.e. focused Quantum warp particles are used to punch into Quantum Slipstream (yet another subspace). In theory, Bentenmaru's nose section subspace impellor could be used as a powerful weapon. Note that the Bodacious Space Pirates universe has it's own "phaser" weapons aka "Phaser Arrow" and it's illegal to own them without a proper license. Last edited by encia; 2012-05-21 at 05:50. |

Given that this is the first time we've seen the bow actually do something other than just being the front of a ship, there's no reason to believe that it was doing something else entirely given the lack of evidence on the contrary. I also got the impression of a dedicated weapon from the fact that it was fired using the same style of button as the weapons (see episode 15 when Haramaki accidentally discharges the main cannons), and operated from the weapons console.

Is it just me or there some spark between Marika and Kane? Even if she wanted to strangle his neck.
The various military and agencies of the Sea of Morningstar see pirates as potential force multipliers. As such getting one in their pocket is important. Maria is young therefore malleable but has potential as demonstrated by her first two crisis. For the moment they are hands off! (That's sounds like a bunch of old men waiting for Marika to be legal.) But once Marika graduates high school all of them will be vying for her and Bentemaru's services. The military aspect of privateer pirates as it were. |

@encia: I think I missed that one, got a time scale of Ben10maru deploying the nose cone impeller before jumping to warp?

Although they do have a lot of chemistry together, I don't see Misa as willing to settle down with anyone. She is very independent. Also, this series is more apt to have the girls get together with each other than any other man.
As for Marika with Kane, I really don't see that at all. Kane is too much of a brother/teacher type to Marika. Besides, I think Chiaki has more interest in Marika than she lets people see. As for Marika, I think she treats all girls in her harem the same.

Though in the Satelight Anime Night event, when Matsuoka (Sandaime) was asked who he would like to marry among the girls, he accidentally answered Madoka (LagRin) before changing his answer to Marika. In other news, here is the complete song list for Mikako-shi upcoming mini-album (Mouretsu Pirates concept album), with "From M" is a temporary title? Quote:

Hmmm. that seems like a very limited arc of fire for an anti-fighter/anti-missile weapon.
Though I have seen something like that before...the Comet Empire battleships have a "Magna-shock cannon" set that seems to fuction by twisting the enemy ship or fighters in something like an energy tornado. However it might just be a redesign of their FTL drive, much like Marika figured out that the Odette II had a hidden weapon in its solar sail propulsion system. One of the Klingon axioms from their elite command academy is "On a warship, everything is a weapon". In some respects the traditional Wave Motion Gun is just using the ship's engine as a weapon. Just directing all power into a concentrated beam of great power rather that using the same power through the drive sytems to make FTL travel possible. It is fortunate that steam engines can't quite be used in this fashion, or else she'd have hundred thousand plus horsepower weapons on naval vessels in the 1920s.

I'm assuming the mini-wave motion gun was part of the original design, and the newer 6-gun system was bolted on during one of the many refits. |

I want to be sure because Chiaki has to leave high school Hakuho episode 6 then during the race she will compete for his high school? And therefore it will be the rival of the other girls and Marika Yacht Club ... ?
I have another question because in the anime there is possibility of traveling into space I want to know Gruier and sister they come from an other planet? Chiaki and of course comes from the earth but of another country or just another high school in Japan?
