The ban game, v10

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because this scene is so awesome I actually teared up watching it.

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is banned because even that scene cannot compare to this one. Do the impossible, see the invisible, ROW! ROW! Fight the power! Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable, ROW! ROW! Fight the power! *salutes*

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because this gattai made me tear up too, but for a different reason.

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is banned because that which has been seen cannot be unseen. Also, that was absolutely fabulous.

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because I fear that all of this banning is taking him away from his wonderful drawings. And that all of this banning is taking me away from WRITING something for tonight. And, in a quest for forgiveness for presenting that image, I give to you one of the greatest gattai sequences ever!

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is not banned because I just love how Kamina opens this on poor hapless Viral.

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because that image has left me in despair!

*Trivia fact: I actually have Zetsubo Sensei as an avatar on another forum, saying that "The internet has left me in despair!"

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is banned in memory of Kaworu Nagisa's decapitation.

[Jairus]

Ren is banned by my double Gundam hammer whip.

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is banned because STOP! Hammertime! (Can't touch this.)

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because HALT! Hammerziet!

[Ren Gaulen]

Jay is banned because I have found someone who can send even such fighters like Ky and Sol running. For no apparent reason (I mean, it could scare off Sol, but not Ky..).

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because she has a WHAT?!?!

[Ren Gaulen]

...A handgun. She has a handgun. Be banned by the Commando Nun, Jay!

[Jairus]

Ren is banned because with that handgun, she can pull off a headshot.

[Ren Gaulen]

NO! Can't you see that this gun has too much high power, man?? A ban to you!

[Jairus]

Too much power? Too much power? Too much power? Just who the hell do you think we are?! Go beyond the impossible, and kick reason to the curb! That's the Gurren-Ban way!

[Ren Gaulen]

You want power?.. The power I have....

STOOOOOOONER SUUUUUUNSHAAAAAAINE!!!!!!!

Become banned!!

[Jairus]

Ren Gaulen, become one with the Ban. We have cookies.

[Ren Gaulen]

Cookies, you say?.. Well, I'll have some, then. In return - a ban to you.

[Jairus]

This is a story of men fighting against their ban...

Ren, the ban battle must be joined!

Stand as one!

Stand together!

Erupting Burning Sekiha Hell and Heaven Tenkyoken!!

[Ren Gaulen]

Wat?.. IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE BAN GAME THERE IS ONLY WAR! SHINHA! MOGEKI REPPAAAAAA!!!!! FATALITY!

[Jairus]

This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Now, here I go! BANNING FINGER!!!

PS: I just realized something, Ren. You actually used the correct hand for me in the Sekiha Hell and Heaven Tenkyoken... I'm left handed.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because Marimea Kushrenada commands it.

[Jairus]

VSMIT, let me confirm, your shelter is secure? I'm asking, is your shelter secure? Roger that. (fires Ban Fragging Gun)

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because it still took Zero two(three?  I can't remember) shots to open it up.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because it did indeed take three shots, and Wing Zero Endless Custom (it's what I call it) was damaged until it was little more than a torso and chest. It was still incredibly awesome.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because I don't understand how a weapon that could destroy an entire colony with ONE shot still had to take three to open up an armored bunker.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I see three reasons. 1) The bunker might have been designed to handle a shot from a buster rifle, but they did not anticipate that Heero would be willing to cut through. 2) A space colony is spinning in order to generate centrifugal force to simulate gravity, and it's dependent on its structural integrity to stay together while doing that: damage the integrity enough (like shoot out the core of the colony with the Buster Rifle or Twin Buster Rifle) and the centripetal force would be sufficient to cause the colony to actually tear itself apart. 3) Dramatic tension.

I think that while reason #3 is the real reason, reason #2 is one that was either given in-series or was discussed by people who actually study engineering and physics who watch these shows. I think that a colony in Gundam SEED was destroyed the same way: they did enough damage to the colony's structure that it's integrity failed and it shredded itself.

Does that help any?

[Darkdragon]

Jairus is banned by the integrity if Minovsky physics!
