Yeah, the science where a, what, 2cm thick plastic shield stops a spear that just fell a tree.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
With a spear? LolMy bigger question is, how is Tsukasa making such great tank traps in his kingdom of no tech? Like, collapsible stone floors that look perfect with spike pits inside...
With fingers that can grab and throw trees. Pretty easy to dig holes and sharpen bamboo with superpowers.
Peace.
The plastic is just a component. The shield is carbon fiber. Look it up.
I'd struggle to say it is 'carbon fiber' which is actually kinda weak, especially to tearing or cutting. Any impact really. It's strong against tension and bending.
Everyone's seen some idiot's messed up car body kit.
But it is a resin composite armor, which can be quite strong depending on how it is made and layered. It's more like medieval armor such as linens soaked in glues.
Put it this way.
The armour is strong.
But not resist-spear-that-falls-trees strong.
But that means the spear was stronger than the tree.
So... whatever.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It stopped the hit?
What I'm saying is that resin is strong, but it should not be strong enough to resist anything that breaks a tree.
I'm disagreeing with the episode.
However, the issue isn't actually that a resin composite shield stopped a spear. That's perfectly believable.
What's unbelievable is that something that shatters a tree is blocked by said shield. That said.. take a step back. A spear shattering a tree is the real culprit. How does it even do that?
At that point, my brain stopped and accepted the fact that this is anime, people get slammed against rocks, rocks break but their spines don't.. and that's that.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Like you said, the spear shouldn't be able to break the tree either.
If they exaggerated the effectiveness of the spear, it makes sense to exaggerate the effectiveness of the shield as well.
IRL:
Bullet proof vests stop bullets (maybe not all calibers/speeds, but most of them). And it's pretty sure that the impact from a bullet is orders of magnitude higher in energy than a spear.
And bullet proof vest are real life voodoo science to my eyes.
They really do not need to exagerate anything.
But they did.
So instead of cutting a 10cm (4inches) diameter tree in a single spear shot-maybe some very well trained masters of the spear could ?-, he does so with one 3 times the diameter...
As you all pointed out, here is the over exageration.
Next, that a shield can dissipate the energy from an impact, why not. Like a bullet proof vest. That the blade desintegrates at impact, well only in anime...

S2 Ep 07
------------------------
It's one thing to capture a site, but another to hold it. If the goal is to keep the batcave so you can continue reviving/repairing people (instead of just destroying it and looking for another), then I struggle to see how Senku's team can actually hold off against Tsukasa if that guy rushed him afterwards.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Was thinking the same thing. If Senku's plan is to run people off in a panic to capture the cave, how does he intend to hold onto it after the panic fades and Tsukasa' regroups them?
Maybe he already has science defenses planned...
I think they only need to run away with a full pot of the nitric acid. The resurrection "etching fluid" is pretty easy to make besides that.
Or maybe, the goal is to actually destroy the cave so Tsukasa can't use it anymore. Senku must know another way to make nitric acid, they already have electricity and know how to make ammonia. I mean, they just revealed he's been using the Master of Handicrafts (Yuzuriha) to piece together broken statues. Senku's been running long-game psychological plays well before Gen switched sides.
There's so much dumb stuff goung in, but I can't get over how incredibly dumb it is that EVERYONE knows that singer AND likes her.
Like, if I were one of them and Lady Gaga started singing, I'd be like 'so what? It's not not even jpop ...'. That everyone loves her to the degree of instantly switching to Senku is just blergh.
Also, how is it smart to LIE to everyone?! What will they do when they find out the USA aren't there? Even if they don't return to Tsukasa, they'd rightfully be pissed at Senku.
Ugh
They don't have to like Lillian W, they just have to have enough of them recognize her voice to maker her claims of Tsukasa's empire's days being numbered sound credible. That's the ploy. Its not "I'll sign an autograph for you if you stop helping Tsukasa", its "America is on the way. Tsukasa's empire is not tenable- please assist Senku in the meantime." Her being recognizable is enough, and typically American celebrities are typically world famous due to modern marketing efforts.
Lying is questionable for sure, but their goal is to restore civilization in its entirety, so they can always claim later that this is a step to making that lie come true, if you are feeling generous.
Gen and Senku discussed how the lie will backfire on them either way, episodes ago.
The point is to end Tsukasa's influence and return to an innovation and science-based society that intends to save every petrified human on earth. "Might Makes Right" is currently winning, and Tsukasa intends to kill off all the older people for good so that his "pure" society is all that remains.
This has been explained.
And what did they decide on that will prevent any severe backlash?
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Once they've had cotton candy, ramen and soda again, they'll never go back
S2-Episode 9:
LOL, Tsukasa is so full of shit. "What would you have done?" How about NOT kill people?!
Also: Really?! Using dynamite to blow up the ground and coincidentially not blowing up his sister?
This anime really requires you to shut down your brain, which is quite ironic considering its "science" angle.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Pretty sure spearguy is gonna be our next big bad.
Right? Like if you're worried about resources, all you have to do is NOT wake people up.
Well,,we have Hyoga and maybe another time-bomb: other statues start to degenerate or coming back to life. Meaning you need to take care of so many people and Hyoga at the same time.
