Is she right /m/?
>>
>>23015320
Yes, the powers come from midichlorians.
>>
>>23015320
no, it's very clearly magic

No. Newtypism has to come from magic, because the only other possible explation, evolution, simply doesn't work on such short timespans.
>>
>>23015320
Yes, and you would know that if you watched any other show with half a brain cell.
>>23015350
take this anon as an example of what not to do
>>
It's magic because there is no scientifically plausible way for its abilities to function

Spooky action at a distance with no mechanical or physical vector = magic
*this includes the current theory of gravity
>>
>>23015320
Eh...sort of. If Newtype abilities were magical then Zeon's Newtype Corps would win every war. Newtype abilities have limits. Unless you pair it with Psychoframe material there's significant limits to what you can do with it.

Now, if we're talking about HOW Newtype abilities work then yes, Newtypes are Mages.

We said that shit years ago.
>>
>>23015350
It's not evolution, it's a mutation.
>>
>>23015408
Not UC.
>>
>>23015463
UC enough
>>
>>23015451
Yes, beneficial mutations that are passed on through offspring is literally the definition of evolution. But evolution generally requires several dozens of generations to get very minute changes. In UC, there would be three or four generations separating living on Earth and living in space, at the very most.
>>
>>23015320
The whole UC world doesn't really play by our rules as is evident by the Minovsky particles so we can really judge based only on things shown in the setting itself. Considering that there seems to be at least some sort of a scientific understanding on how Newtypism works (Cyber-newtypes, Psycho-frames), I would lean towards it not being magic.
>>
>>23015320
They're magic the moment you put them together with material that resonates with them, Unicorn type suits are Jesus Christ in robot form with a enlightened newtype behind their controls.
>>
>>23015509
They were magic even before that
>>
>>23015483
you don't understand evolution and mutation nearly as well as you think you do
>>
Newtype abilities aren't magic. They're just psychic powers.
Psycofields enabled by psycoframes amplifying psycowaves ARE magic. The fabric of space-time is distorted and new fundamental laws are applied by the Newtype emitting the psycowaves.
>>
>>23015775
Jewdough clearly summoned a demon familiar or some shit when he made Haman piss herself.
>>
>>23015320
She thinks that she can stop child soldiers from happening if she continues to fight a losing war instead of going home to her son.
I think they made her dumb on purpose
>>
>>23015320
So She watched Gundam X
>>
According to Unicorn/Narrative it's literally a connection to the afterlife in this universe so it's more holy than magical.
That said this idea that you only go to heaven if you're a newtype is fucking deranged and i want to know what the fuck the writers were thinking lol
>>
>>23019552
Unicorn was a mistake
Singlehandedly ruined the world building and lore of universal century
>>
>>23019552
It's Asian religious convention - only those who are "enlightened" get to move on and ascend after death, everyone else has to start over as a rat or something
>>
>>23019556
The funniest part is Narrative doubled down on it and made it concrete instead of ambiguous, then it just fucked off. It wasn't even leading in to anything. Newtype heaven is real. Characters in the story are convinced time travel is achievable. Let's just leave these plot threads hanging for 6 years.
>>
>>23019563
That's why i consider Unishit and Narrative to be non-canon fanfics.
Idc what Banrise say. These shows don't fit in the same timeline with Victory and F91 where Newtype was hardly a thing
>>
>>23015626
elucidate
>>
>>23015626
Nothing he said is incorrect. Explaining newtype ability as completely random mutation doesn't explain how it keeps occurring in such a similar way between people.
There's more reason to believe it's not evolution OR mutation and is simply an element that already exists dormant in humans and can be awoken under certain (often traumatic) circumstances.
>>
>>23019575
you're describing how traits spread through populations as an argument against individuals expressing mutation. the two are related but different and not conflicting
>>23019618
not wrong, just a "missing the forest for the trees" kind of situation
>>
>>23019552
>According to Unicorn/Narrative
So according to non-canon fan fiction?

newtypes are well known for not giving a shit about age of consent and get away with it. They clearly live in a magic world
>>
>>23015320
She's right it's just Force powers from star wars
>>
I didn't mind unicorn at all because it was superambiguous but yeah Narrative went the full mile and lterally outright tells you "no, is timetravelling shenanigans fr fr". Literally the unicorn made age the nuclear reactors of the jegans for example, links and frontal literally travelled to the death heat of the universe and came back, etc
>>
>>23022395
No it didn't??? Are you fucking stupid? The entire sequence is explicitly just a vision, literally a different way of drawing the exact same shit that happened during Lalah's death.
>>
>>23022769
Narrative literally states that they actually travelled through time.
>>
>>23015837
I wish my face was Haman's seat when that happened
>>
>>23015320
Yep. I liked it when they were psychic empaths who could use brain-powered gear instead of...whatever Unicorn and Narrative did with them.

On the other hand I like Despair Memory Gundam's Neos. Because X-Men in Gundam are fun.
>>
>>23015320
no, women are never right.

If you have a more realistic explaination for the Axis Shock then I'm all ears.
>>
>>23019618
>>23019646

Newtype powers come off more as more an epigenetic effect activated mostly by living in space and low gravity environments rather than a mutation.
>>
>>23025355
Yeah, that's what stopped Axis from colliding with the Earth.
>>
>>23025373
Wasn't referring to what the Newtype psychic powers can do, but how they are gained. Mutations are changes in the genetic code while Epigenetics changes which and how the existing genes in the code are expressed. Mutations take a while to propagate while Epigenetic changes can take effect within a single generation if not an individual's own lifespan.
>>
>>23024930
Wasn't it like a big psychic wave that would turn everyone mentally into toddlers and would be only possible after utilizing the combined power of a ton of Newtypes?
Because Unicorn and Narrative instead went into reality warping and telekinetic shit instead.
>>
>>23025289
Magnets. And wires. Maybe mirrors too.
>>
>>23025289
fake news from ai generated videos. It was all a smoke screen to rise taxes.
>>
>>23015320
Newtype bullshit is literally the Force from SW, holy fuck this isn't difficult to grok.
>>
>>23025289
The Earth is actually flat
>>
>>23015320
Queen Maria in Victory Gundam is literally able to heal the sick, injured and lame using her Newtype abilities.
>>
Only spiritually inept subhumans that can't distinguish the aesthetical differences between magic & meta physical psychic powers. Literal spirit energy. You subhumans, science organizations hasn't disprove shit & is a corrupt fraudulent organized power structure. The paranormal is real, humans have souls, there's life after death & your "facts" are controlled by evil cult pedophiles that want the human race to be souless degenerates that believe they come from fucking monkeys.

And, no, newtype powers are not magic. Its more akin to chi or spiritual energy. /m/ has about the same lack of estoric or specialized knowledge about this as riddit. You soulless subhuman heathens.
>>
>>23024922
Reread your own post to see if you can figure out what's wrong with Narrative's interpretation.
>>
>>23022769
I don't get it. The guy you are responding to laid it out in the plain text. He flat out says it's an issue from Narrative, not Unicorn. But you double down using Unicorn as your source. Why? Why be this retarded on purpose?
