>The parts of the Akatsuki that weren't covered by the shield were straight up glowing with heat
Destiny did more damage when Shinn sliced an arm off it.

>Akatsuki's shield took the brunt of the blast
>and the cockpit had alarms going off
You think this somehow makes it "okay"? Requiem destroyed multiple PLANTs, a number of fleets and a city on Earth from a beam that had to be reflected from the moon.
But no, "some alarms were going off in the cockpit, so it was damaged"! Fuck right off with that nonsense. It's bullshit no matter how you slice it.

As a reference, this is the scale of destruction Requiem is capable of inflicting.
