The first weekend of September, I finally got around to building the HGUC 1.144 Stark Jegan that one of my friends had gifted me for my birthday.

Inertia is also visible when her body is thrown forward from the deceleration. This is especially noticeable when the Kshatriya makes use of its verniers to slow down and avoid the massive blast radius from one of the Stark Jegan’s missiles. Things like acceleration and deceleration are carefully animated. Though they are able to mimic human movements by means of an AMBAC system, they nonetheless conform with what is reasonable within the bounds of physical laws. However, Gundam Unicorn chose to depict mobile suits as powerful, but heavy and somewhat cumbersome in combat. Despite lasting around ninety seconds, this first fight in Gundam Unicorn set the stage for the remainder of the OVA: previously mobile suits in other universes (say, Gundam 00) were generally depicted as nimble craft that moved with the same fluidity as a human.

Long range munitions are expended, and beam sabres are brought out as both mobile suits fight a close-quarters battle, making use of their thrusters to manoeuvre into position.

Cinematography depicts the pilot arming his shoulder-fired missiles, the Jegan’s displays tracking the Kshatriya’s funnels and the intricate keystrokes on his touch screen and joysticks required to purge his armour as he closes the distance between himself and the Kshatriya. Two of the standard-type Jegans are annihilated by the Kshatriya’s funnels seconds into combat, but the Stark Jegan puts up a phenomenal fight. In the case of Gundam Unicorn, their magic moment comes around six minutes into the first episode, when the Kshatriya engages a squadron of Federation Jegans. Their delivery, style and even presence vary from anime to anime, with some shows presenting their moments within the first few minutes of the episode, while others may field theirs in the middle of or even the end of their run.

“Magic moments” in anime are loosely defined as an event or moment in an anime that succeed in convincing the audience to continue watching. “Some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.” ― Charles Bukowski, War All the Time
