History Headscratchers / MobileSuitGundamSEED

** This one's AllThereInTheManual - in the ''GundamSEEDAstray'' side story, it's shown that Lowe witnesses the end of said battle and recovers the critically injured Kira from the Strike, bringing him to the Reverend.

** Unfortunately, if you go all MoHS scale on Gundam, you'll find that very little actually works, especially when you start going at it with thermodynamics. Where are the radiators on the ships (in ''any'' Gundam show)? How come ''anybody's'' able to dodge particle beams? How on Earth does an [[MobileSuitGundam I-field]] repel mega particles, when it's ''specifically stated'' that mega particles are electrostatically neutral? If not electrostatic, then what force is repelling the mega particles? And for that matter, why is the most effective form of combat vehicle a 10X mechanical scale replica of a human being? What it comes down to is that in terms of the science of a Gundam show, [[MST3KMantra you should really just relax]].

*** Not really, since in Destiny we are told that both factions signed a treaty to restrict use of nuclear technology in military vehicles, specially the MS. It would be safe to assume that warships fall under that treaty too. So they kept using whatever technology they used before, or they started using hyper-deuterium reactors (which seem to not affected by said treaty, since noone made a fuss over the Destiny and the Legend using them).

This last theory tough seems a little shaky, since the hyper-deuterium reactors were in test phase at that point and only 4 MS had them : Destiny, Legend, S.Freedom and I.Justice.

*** Lowe ''is'' there during Aegis and Strike's sword fight and quickly rush-in once th battle is over. Strike's PS went down ''after'' he already pull Kira out. You can assume that cockpit wasn't burned until the outside heat creep-in afterward.

**** Er, no. A spherical blast at that distance from earth would have ABSOLUTELY no effect on the planet. The energy from a spherical blast is proportional to the square of the distance.

* How did Kira possibly get in the Freedom Gundam, leave the PLANT, evade ZAFT forces ''and'' get to Alaska in time to save the Archangel? Even if we assume the PLANT was relatively close to Earth it should have taken the fastest possible vessel hours[[hottip:*: assuming applied phlebotinum sped him up, if it were realistic it would have been more like days at best]] to get there. By the time he was shown the Gundam the battle was already close to self-destruct time, they should have been long dead before he even reached Earth's atmosphere!

*** The N-Jammer's function would require the manipulation of weak/strong nuclear forces. This is generally the answer to others of it's kin. Like above, its a very basic force of reality and physics. This brings the reason why they don't use antimatter induced fusion warheads... They do use antimatter like mad... Some lines of thought do indicate that the manipulation of wing/strong nuclear forces would cause disruptions to electronic wavelengths.

** First, how on earth did the Phase Shift Armour stop the Kusanagi's Lohengrin Positron Blaster Cannon? It's bad enough that they gave Phase Shift Armor the ability to block beam weapons if you feed in enough power when it was well established that beams ignored the stuff. But the Lohengrin is an antimatter weapon. It doesn't really matter what your armor is made of when half the energy of the blast comes from the electrons in the surface of the armor turning into gamma rays.

*** Actually this has been briefly explained in ''SEED'' and ''SEED X Astray''. The Reverend states that Kira had the SEED gene activated in that explosion so his mortal wounds were reduced to serious ones. It is needed to say that the SEED gene's function are unknown but basing it from the Character Theatre parodies it appears as it enhances the body physically. Lowe also states that the Strike served as a shield to Kira in ''Astray''. His wounds are actually the result of Strike suffering some damages and the mobile suit was later repaired without problems and they could even improve it.

*** Have you SEEN how long the Valiants are? By the time you got the barrel aimed anywhere NEAR the (fast-moving) enemy suits, the damn things would be dragging in the water. Not to mention how slow the Valiants are to rotate, and the fact the gunners apparently can't hit the broad side of a ''Naszca'' with them, let alone mobile suits.
