Shiro Amada is a true engineer. He accessed total control of his beam saber's I field and he used it to boil water.

Basic bitch level electrician work

Beam sabers are shitty contrived devices, heat axes and rods made more sense.
WHY DO BEAM SABERS BOUNCE OFF ENEMY SOLID MELEE WEAPONRY

>>23320498
Why wouldn't they?

>>23320498
> we dont get to see more of the Federations solid melee weapons
I wanted to see more giant shanks, tomino

>>23320501
because it's a light stick

>>23320507
It's plasma.

>>23320507
It's not though.

Beam weapons aren't just emitting energy, but matter, and they're contained within I-fields. Disturbing the I-field allows the charged particles to incinerate what they come into contact with.
Heat weapons are designed to operate at high temperatures, and this allows them to clash very briefly with beam weapons.

>>23320498
the heat weapons have magnetic fields

i like this bit where the Jegan does the opposite and turns its beam saber into a white dagger-length blade

>>23322231
Me too.

>>23322231
I know he wanted the higher power mode to ensure he could cut through whatever special armor there was, but ironically wouldn't the standard length beam saber blade have reached before he got countered by the claw shield?

>I have a long sword
>Better turn it into a knife real quick
???

>>23322231
that's actually a built-in function of Jegan's beam saber, it's been in materials since CCA but this is the first time it was properly depicted
>>23324066
maybe, but it wouldn't have pierced through the armor fast enough to make a difference.
