>I can't give guns to the students in this mission but I can let them pilot giant warmachines! Why was Kenanji so adamant on not giving the students any firearms to the Quiet Zero mission? He had no inherent problem with Suletta, Chuchu, Felsi, and Guel piloting Mobile Suits into battle, but he did have a problem with handing a gun to them. The reason why I have such a problem with a small detail like this, is partially because it feels weird considering the moral lessons the show is trying to give, but also due to trying to figure out the world building of Ad Stella.I can't really see there being any moral reason, other than them not having any training. Surely, if they had any training, they'd have been given guns, since they had volunteered for the mission. At the same time, the kids who volunteered to be MS pilots were able to pilot into battle as they wished without any opposition from the adults. Only Suletta's choice to pilot had some resistance, but that was only because of Calibarn's inherent danger, not because people were opposed to students volunteering to pilot MS. It's not like the show was opposed to kids using weapons for self-defense (and abnormal students involved in conspiracies were shown using guns). Even the whole "adult's responsibility" spiel was pretty much only about a situation, which had evolved into becoming impossible to get out of, so a death or a wound would not have stopped it. El5n did know how to use a gun and the show saw no problem with him using it, but of course, by that point everyone knew he wasn't a real student. But the fact remains Kenanji didn't argue with El5n about whether he knew how to use a gun or not for some reason, which is weird. He did only reveal his training to others when things got dangerous, and you could argue there was no longer any time to argue about it, but it still feels weird.(cont.)
>>23741063(cont.)So I suppose my question is this:>Do you think Kenanji refused to give guns to the students, because they didn't have any training with them at school? I know Asticassia isn't a military school, and I know the only combat training they seem to get is for MS (which is extremely important for test pilots and such, and the names for these modules directly say they're only being carried out with MS). However, some students like Guel seem to want to pursue military careers after they graduate, so I have been wondering if the school had a voluntary course of some kind to give voluntary students some kind of basic military training in case they wish to pursue a military life. There is pretty much no evidence or implication for it existing, but it's hard to find evidence to completely dismiss it. I suppose, in the case Kenanji refused to give guns mainly due to a lack of training, it would be direct evidence against this. Then again, he didn't even ask anything from El5n, which does also raise some questions. The Japanese fan wiki states that it's due to lack of training, but I can't be too sure about it.Maybe I'm just an autistic fellow, who really overthinks this (not a question but the truth), but I'm interested to see what you think. And for the record, this isn't meant to be a "G-Witch Bad" dunking post.
>the pink hair retard forced the space glowie to take them to the superweapon>He folds under zero pressure>Most of the characters do absolutely nothing>The bullshit tomato gene deactivation code gets undone by Prospera just turning the space station back on again>Everything gets revolved with more bootleg psychoframe crap anyways that has nothing to do with the rest of the plotIts impressive just how poorly done the end of the show is. Also is it just me or does it come off like those Haro turrets were supposed to originally be armed goons?
>>23741063>But the fact remains Kenanji didn't argue with El5n about whether he knew how to use a gun or not for some reason, which is weird. He did only reveal his training to others when things got dangerous, and you could argue there was no longer any time to argue about it, but it still feels weird.He pulled out the gun in an active firefight, and when asked about it by Chuchu, his answer pretty clearly was "no time for arguing". Kenanji is a professional soldier and knows what to prioritize. He still ordered Belmeria to go with Miorine, El5n just followed after them. The situation was still dangerous and El5n's words pretty clearly left no room for arguing. And as you said, by that point everyone knew he wasn't a real student, but he kept quiet since that's his character. If you look at how Chuchu behaves in QZ, she pretty clearly has no experience or training when it comes to fighting on foot, unlike Kenanji, Belmeria and El5n.
>>23741065Lack of training and probably not wanting to cause unease with the students. You don't really want them to panic and accidentally shoot a friend of course, but most importantly them having a gun might just make them subconsciously anxious and cause them to make a fatal mistake during the mission.
>>23741228>the end of the showHonestly the last 24 episodes were pretty shit.
this show fucking sucked ass
>>23741063>>23741065It's you again, it's fucking you.
>>23742767Yes, it's me. This topic has admittedly been bothering me a lot, and I really can't seem to get a peace of mind unless I find a definitive answer.
Doodoo ass anime that the writers never expected to be viewed by an audience who had a decent memory, or binged it, making the tonal shifts and backpedalling more obviously schizophrenic.
>>23744647Given that you've been on this across multiple boards for four months I really don't have great confidence that any answer will satisfy you.As many people have said every time you have brought any of this stuff up, there's really nothing to suggest that there's any specific military training going on at the academy.>There is pretty much no evidence or implication for it existing, but it's hard to find evidence to completely dismiss it.Do you know how evidence works? Does it sound at all plausible that any school would have a sheet somewhere that says 'we don't do military training because we're not a military school'? How the fuck would you reasonably expect to find 'evidence to dismiss it'? If there is no evidence to support it, then that's basically where it ends.Amuro could've been out of frame the entire time. You can't disprove that. But I also have no evidence for it. Do you believe it's worth discussing my claim that Amuro Ray has secretly been out of frame the entire show?
