Blame! (Gravitational Beam Emitter compilation)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- This is a compilation of scenes featuring the Gravitational Beam Emitter (GBE) in the anime film 'Blame!'.
I recently made a video only featuring the Safeguard Sanakan scenes, but in this video I complete the collection by adding Kirii scenes.
I think the concept of coherent gravitons/ lased gravity waves is fascinating and there are some other weapons depicted in fiction that resemble the GBE in almost every respect: the beam emitter from Knights of Sidonia (unsurprisingly) and the 'Starbreaker' from Stephen Baxter's Xeelee Sequence. Check them out!

Such an intriguing weapon. I always loved how killy seemed to not care about it too much but still gave a lot of fucks to not lose it
Lmao gotta make sure it just looks like a gun not a broken ass mega weapon so people don’t steal it
The actual lore behind that is that Killy has dementia from being like 10 thousand years old and so legit cannot remember where the hell he got it from, or anything else really, except what he's trying to do and how to operate it.
@@karhu7581 aaaah alright. Where'd you get that from the manga has so little details
Would you not care if you lost a universal fuck off gun in world full of dangerous robots of all shapes and sizes, living _-_-_-_-_, and hungry for loot scavengers?
@@zikkuraorgannon6680 yeah If course but Like to think that is Has some sentimental value to him but He forgot because Hes so old. Maybe someone really important gave IT to him
I love how the gun dislocates his whole arm everytime he pulls the trigger, really shows how powerful it is.
and how strong he is. the humans probably couldn't physically wield it
yeah, it's like the Noisy Cricket from "Men in Black"
Its awesome in the manga. Every time he uses it he gets knocked back like 6 feet.
Also why you should take the sword when given the choice of GBEs. Similar destructive power, but can be used by a baseline human with no effort.
that emitter erases reality when penetrating through. So nothing can stop it.
"You see that general direction?"
"Yes, sir."
"I don't want to."
"Yes, sir."
“Patterson fire a warning shot”
“Sir this weapon erases everything in front of it”
“Potato potato, fire it Patterson”
*wwweeeeeeee SHOOOOM*
There's just something about a pistol designed to destroy everything. The Noisy Cricket from MIB, the Dominator from Psychpass, and this hit different. Literally
i just wish they didnt make it a lazer gun in the movie. in the manga you couldn't really see much of a beam it looked more like a projectile that traveled so fast it looked like a beam at times and you could really only see the effect it had. to the naked eye it would just create a gaping hole through anything infront of it with no traceable effect. it had a much more unique feel than just a red kamehameha pistol.
I once read about a weapon from a sci-fi story, called the Lazy Gun. If you aim it at something - anything - and pull the trigger, that something is destroyed by a statistically unlikely but still possible event. There were several but many were lost due to "mishaps" such at firing it at the ground of the planet the wielder was on, or at the local sun. It was also considered to be the only weapon with a sense of humor.
Big things, small packages.
Star breaker be like :
Craziest thing is the highest setting Killy fires the GBE on is only 25% of its maximum power.
I hear that he once used it at full power in manga....
It fucked up his arm
@@masterzoroark6664 yep, that's level 4. By that point, the recoil is like your firing a tank shell from your hand.
@@parallax7789 yeah. And Killy isn't a human. Imagine damage of that recoil on a human body...
@WILLIAM TONG I'd say, it is like giving it a tank canon.
he shot it at full power in the manga once. It took out a titan sized monster and a few levels of the megastructure, seemed like a large city's sized block, basically making a canyon.
Oh, the recoil nearly ripped his arm off (he's already an enhanced being) and sent him flying.
I do love the utterly simplistic design, it feels like an AI designed weapon. Just a block with a grip and trigger.
It looks pretty uncomfortable to hold honestly.
But it looks cool & matches the aesthetic, which is more important for the manga.
@@24YOA well to me that fits Blame! Nothing is made for people.
@@24YOA The handle looks fine.
I guess the AI didn't bother with the Design. But man did it focus on *Functionality*
i dont think they did it's power justice in the movie tho
We need more Blame. That’s all. Either an adaptation of the entire manga, or more side stories within the megastructures. We just need more Blame.
Amen
There's plenty of comics to read from Nihei
@@amedio9576 got recommendations?
Try Biomega !
ruclips.net/video/JSqSHdf2-cs/видео.html
The manga is one of the best i have read.
Too bad they didn't make this accurate enough to the books. That's why I was kinda disappointed with this lmao
@@vampirzii yeah a little disappointing, but idk if a perfect adaptation of the manga would work
Check out bio-mega.
@@-Siculus-Hort- already read it! Noise as well
@@-Siculus-Hort- have any other manga recommendations?
That little melody followed with that "click" just makes the blaster shot all the more satisfying.
It felt like the anime failed to portray how GBE works.
Here it works like a laser, but is should work as gravity projector that penetrates the middle of the target by pushing the atoms forward, but the force is still projected radially away from the center of the impact of the beam as the atoms collide, gain acceleration and spread the gravitational pull, which would make the object to crumble towards the center of the penetration and be strongly pushed away if not completely disintegrated.
The recoil of GBE is absurd as it channels gravitation away from the point of emission and generates sudden inertial spike in counter direction. Projected gravitation travels forward until all energy is dissipated through collision with atoms and subatomic particles.
Knights of Sidonia anime show this better.
Is there an animation or something to explain it in pictures? Cause after reading your words i can't capture it in my head😢
@@Asphyx12 imagine small, giga dense projectile that just fuckin warps the world around it. That's how the GBE does its thing in the manga
@@Asphyx12Hes basically saying the gun should look different rather than a laser.
Imagine it launches a line of extremely strong gravity(hence gravitational beam emitter) that pulls any matter in, but physics wont let you place a gravity beam like minecraft creative mud block out of nowhere, it should collide with some atoms first. Therefore, before the gravity beam touches you, you disintegrate first.
Him saying the recoil ties to newtons third law. About an equal opposite force. Meaning the force it needs to cancel out(recoil) the gravity beam is as strong as the force it fires.
@@Asphyx12because it's retarded nonsense 😂
A person of Culture I see.
Although I don’t usually like 3d style anime. This is the first anime that I’ve watched that has amazing 3d style and the details are insane
While you’re at it check out Knights of Sidonia by the same studio and the same mangaka as Blame
@@user-mf8oy4xd8i シドニアの騎士はまじで最高
Beastars and BLAME!/Sidonia are probably the best 3D animes out there
@@Firewallx also GANTZ:0
And
Doroehdoro (the writer was assistant for blame manga)
Don't forget about Houseki no kuni
Heard Sanakan say one sentence and realized it was 2B's voice actress right away.
Hol up what
for real? Are you sure about that?...
@@himitsugawa4226 yep. Kira Buckland
The android assasin again, and a sexy one
@@masterzoroark6664 didn't blame exist literally 20 years before nier?
That recoil of GBE after a shot O.O If Killy wasent modified it would tear his arm stright off.
Manga spoiler: It eventually tore his arm off.
@@anhilliator1 yeah, when he overcharged it
@@masterzoroark6664 And then fired it... How many times?
@@anhilliator1 once, and even getting it to overcharge was a trip in of itself since he needed to plug into few exterminators for more power
@@masterzoroark6664 He did fire it twice throughout the story: one defending Toha from getting destroyed by the Safeguard, and one to bore through the megastructure after Toha went postal.
This thing is so goddamn powerful, author said that if it was fired on Earth (bare minimum) it would have destabilized the magnetic poles and the ozone layer, destroying them.
Wait, so is Blame! not set on earth? I read this manga many years ago, and I still can't get a grasp of the full lore.
@@stewpid4410 there is a giant empty spherical "room" Killy comes across in the structure that happens to be the size of Jupiter, soooo...
@@andreawaite8677 Sooo...? Sorry, I'm a bit slow
@@andreawaite8677 Nvm, just googled it and holy sh*t! Did *not* know the builders kept on building beyond the atmosphere, and eventually, (possibly) the entire solar system as well! No wonder it took Killy so long to find that Net Terminal Gene.
I completely forgot the name of Knights of Sidonia until I watched this. I loved watching that anime, thank you so much.
Galactic Empire from Star Wars: "We have the most OP raygun with the Death Star."
Kirii:"Bitch please...."
Think of it: Killy can kill the Death Star. WITH A PISTOL. Because GBE is a literal FUCK YOU to everything in the 75 km range.
Xeelee's starbreaker beam: Am i a joke to you ??
Yes you are xelee every thing is over powered it is not matter anymore
@@lamvuong5343 *SOPHIA ZERO Acceleration Blast:* _Not as much as me apparently..._
Zoichi Kanoe enters the room
Being a huge fan of Blame! manga since ages, when i watched One Punch Man for the first time i tought of his fist being basically a melee GBE
The first punch after Boros Meteoric Burst kinda aproaches that idea I think
At level 9 it can destroy an entire level completely.
coolest fictional weapon
You know this thing is insane when Dr Eggman from Sonic uses it multiple times in the IDW comics.
I don't see any silicon creatures. What is Blame! without silicon creatures?! Man I want to see a 3D animated Davinelulinvega. And the scene where Killy meets that one who's just observing the local area, and we get to see his zero-tolerance policy against cyborgs in action, and wonder what exactly that means or whether we should be in favor of it. Nobody should make a Blame! anime without including that little segment!
Oh well, thanks for showing me the gun scenes. After reading that this anime existed, that was exactly what I came to RUclips looking for!
Dude, I know which part of the manga you're talking about! so good. When Killy says "Hey, I found one of your baby centers earlier, I blew it up!" then, there is this moment of silence and shock from one of the cyborgs. The next line is "watch out for his gun..." so fucking good. The manga was so good at making the world feel devoid of life and filled with horror.
Blame2 shows that Killy isn't racist anymore, so the dude was just unlucky that he met him too early.
man u miss my fav character dhomochevsky
@@jhelmut2624 that’s an earlier part I think OP means the cyborg who’s observing the tower from a distance and warns Killy of silicones
The movie overall could've been better, especially the animation, but damn, the cinematography and a lot of the sound design were pretty awesome!
The animation of the movie is peak anime cgi and it looks amazing
Yeah exactly what chu talking about collector the animation is beautiful.
@@uqcr6522 idk man, didn't do it for me. Maybe i'm just used to 2D anime.
The animation was amazing, my gripe with the movie was it dropped the whole horror aspect of the manga for action. There weren't any of the body horror machines like the boss or central ai or any of the silicon life, and it also didn't bother showing us some of the incomprehensible locations of the city that Kiri passes through alone. The art style could've been closer to the manga where there were long shaftways of pipes and stuff, residential districts that look like apartments but with no one living in them, and gigantic seas of metal stretching so far, or so high, or so low that there's an actual atmosphere of mist that prevents you from seeing the entire thing, gigantic towers of metal, all that good stuff. This stuff added atmospheric horror and eerieness to the manga which is why I love the manga in the first place.
@@uqcr6522 look at the original artwork of the manga. Then look at this. Its a night and day difference.
So Killy was just a normal man, but as he selected independence, and to search for the DNA thing, he just leveled up so much that from a man he turned to a complete cyborg..
Not exactly. Killy is not a human, but a safeguard like Sanaka(the person who infiltrated the fishermen's home). He identifies himself as a human though. He's different compared to Sanaka because he was built much later so his programing and purpose was to find humans with the Net terminal genes instead of killing humans.
@@vertextin Also not correct, Killy is a pre-safeguard system. He outdates Sanakan by millenia.
@@resonanceofambition really? I thought that safe guards were created and were wiping out all humans, net genes or not, so killy was created to counteract this.
@@vertextin Created how? Noise (the prequel) states that the safeguard are just another system that existed from before the netchaos. Killy is one of those special types that got released into the wild after the authority lost control. The safeguard aren't necessarily evil, they're like an antivirus system. Killy existed already by that time but I guess he was on standby or something.
@@vertextinSafeguard basically an agent program (like agents in the Matrix) to destroy any unauthorize access to the Network.
The early Safeguard cannot just popup using Transformation Tower (which is probably didn't exist, yet). So they sent their agent in real world to kill any entities who tried to access Netsphere or stealing their property.
Note: Not all safeguard are programmer like that, some of them actually programmed to protect human.
Killy probably one of these agent.
He probably human but then get reconstructed to become a Safeguard just like Musubi Susono (She;s escape before her mind get wipe out).
Because there are no Transformation Tower (yet), Netsphere is placing their agent in real world in sleeper mode.
So when Netsphere get hacked and causing chaos, Killy probably got disconnected entirely. And he gain full control of his body and his Safeguard data registration is lost.
In the Manga, Sanakan tried to transform Killy into Exterminator but failed. That attempt actually restoring some of Safeguard function. Killy now can understand the HUD menu and he can scan the presence of Safeguard right away.
Finished the manga earlier today looking forward to re-watch the film.
Fun fact: in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic IDW Eggman has a gun that does this. It even looks the same!
we don't get enough blame references in other media
Holy shit you're right!
I don't know about the gun.
Where did you find it?
What's he using a little gun like that for? We're up against safeguards.
*Safeguard First Class climbs into view*
its interesting for all her knowledge she (the other cyborg) can't imagine how a gravity gun could be created; this anime which may not be true to the manga - is interesting in terms of alien folklore..
@@ambientsoda106 I was under the impression it was transported, can the watchtower teleport in GBE's?
Awesome how it was added in "Kaina of the Great Snow Sea".
🔥🔥🔥🔥
man i really wanna see more of nihei's work animated
I would love for the first bits of Bio-mega to be animated
I will never comprehend why they'd negate every upside to using 3D animation by neutering the frame-rate to below/around 15 FPS. The #1 reason you'd pick 3D over 2D is the freedom of whatever frame-rate you want without worrying about the limitations of cell-based animation. That, and the really cheap shaders/lighting that's being used from Knights of Sidonia makes textures loose all depth and detail due to how flat they are rendered.
...
You know I care about the story
It's called budget and tight deadlines
Because if you go with 2d then you have to draw the enormous city background every frame which gonna cost alot, and you cannot use only one back ground like other story base animation
Same reason movies are always 24fps even though they could be shot in 60: people are used to and like the look of lower framerates for certain applications.
i keep coming back to these scenes i fucking wish there was a sci fi weapons anime like halo or doom or something like this were the protagonist actually fucking shoots
Folds gravity to a single point.
I love the sound of this thing
impressive particle effects
one of the shots he makes destroys everything in the line of fire 70km out lol
And this is not all the power of his weapons)
God I hated this movie adaption, but I gotta admit that the click of the GBE before it unleashes hell is damn satisfying to listen to
I never read the manga, so this is all I had to go on. My thoughts were that the movie sets up an intriguing universe, and while I thought the movie was 'pretty good, not great', I'd love to learn more about the city and its inhabitants. Agreed on the GBE.
They have plans to do a second film, but I don't see them being able to have a smooth transition to anything resembling the other arcs. That is with Cibo being nothing but a hand, chilling with the electrofishers down on some abandoned level.
Unless they bring back hand Cibo in the Cave 8 parallel universe plot point. Even then it's a stretch, because they'd have to re-establish Sankaran and Cibo just to achieve the final arc of manga.
i actually loved this movie, i think it was beautiful, all i had a problem with was that one guy screaming Tai Tai repeatidly
@@cavok84 The movie focuses on a pretty minor and irrelevant sequence of the manga and even then it distorts a lot of things, the electro-fishers are just not that important to the original story. I guess they wanted to give the movie more human character development and some conversation sequences, but in reality the world of BLAME! is almost completely devoid of human interaction. It's a shame because sequences like the electro-knights and later encounters with powerful safeguards are imo more exciting than the electro-fishers, who were only in the story to show how completely helpless the remaining humans are when faced with the safeguards and the other megacity defenses. Also in the movie Killy is a little *too* empathetic towards them. In the manga he literally doesn't give a crap about anything other than net terminal genes (cos spoiler reasons). If you do read the manga, I hope you like detailed drawings of epic mega-structures with almost zero talking and character development, because that's what it is. It's like the Dark Souls of manga - much more so than Berserk imo - and that's why it was so hard and took them so long to actually make a funded effort to adapt it. A lot is left to the imagination and there are a lot of questions that don't get answered until the very end. If you tried to do a fully hand-drawn anime of BLAME! and do it justice, it would probably take years and cost a ridiculous amount of money.
With that said, it was almost worth waiting ten years just to see him fire that fucking gun, jesus christ. That's one thing they _didn't_ mess up.
If you think about it, this could be one of the universes on the other side of Toha Heavy Industries' graviton turbine.
Hopefully they’ll let us listen to the soundtrack soon.
its on spotify: open.spotify.com/album/7hyo01att7H7ps4MNRuKo5
not on the NA version of spotify. I actually managed to find it, but it's locked here. I can save the album, but not play it.
I love Sanakan's theme
Gravy guns: for when you're done messing around with low-energy physics and want to get to the real shit.
Such polite enemies, forming a neat line everytime to be deleted
I like this movie so much. I hope they make more.
The most lethal and technological advance gun in the entire BLAME universe that even AI can’t reverse engineer and replicate it.
I've seen the Blame! anime twice, on Netflix, but I've yet to read the manga. What impressed me most in the anime was the presentation and usage of this beam weapon. They call it a Gravitational Beam Emitter (GBE), but to me it looks and acts like a very powerful laser. (Perhaps an X-ray laser?) What would a GBE look and act like? Shrug. I imagine it would cause its target to implode spectacularly.
Always loved akira lasers and loved the laser on syndicate which though couldn’t see the laser beam could cleave or hit so many in a line. A endless laser fits as a weapon against an endless landscape
Only ships can carry that beam gun. The energy required to fire is immense.
I totally enjoy this anime with zero context or lore 😂
I want one for Christmas.
You would think they would start spreading out as soon as he fired it the first time.
Just gonna point out that even with their hyper-advanced technology, Sidonia & blame!'s ancient humans had to put so much effort into making something Ghidorah was born with.
That weapon is overpowered. I like it.
criminally underwatched even if its not 100% true to the manga
The movie was okay but I still really dislike the depiction of the GBE.
It come across as a basic 'delete stuff with heat' plasma/laser beam emitter by the effect that is shown.
The heat residue after firing (glowing debris etc) is fine but there is no actual gravitational effect shown unlike the manga (at least the parts of the manga where it is used on stuff that isn't just basically holed by the forces it exerts).
It really feels as if they pulled every trick they could in order to cut corners with the presentation here. Sanakan's GBE gets the worst of it, convenient camera angles and positioning making it so that we don't get to see anything even resembling the destructive power it's supposed to be capable of. It ain't just supposed to be a laser, It's a goddamn black hole gun.
i was going to comment exactly this. its not a laser. its not a disintegration ray. its a motherfucking beam of GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY energy. if lasers, acids, and nukes werent able to penetrate the mega structure in Bio-electrics sub strata then why would an overpowered flashlist be any different. they really fucked up with GBE in this anime and I can only hope that they take a real close look at the source material again if they decide to make another installment.
and please oh please let there be another installment. Tsutomu Nihei s work is God tier
Yeah. I seen a manga after this and man Sanakan's transformation looks so fuckin rad in the manga
It is so frustrating that there is no impact behind any shot. In the manga, if Killy doesn't two hands the thing and get a firm stance, he is sent flying. His arm litterally goes full ragdoll. The GBE has such sheer force in the manga, a single shot is such a massive amount of destruction in a general direction.
And to see it just being a "whoop" and then making holes is frustrating
For a weapon so powerful, the sound effect accompanying any use of the GBE is disappointingly un-explosive; no boom, no screeching of metal, no whine of ionized ozone (typical laser sounds), no sizzle of things melting into slag, etc.
I actually really like that personally actually.
the sound it makes comes from it breaking sound.
it is cuz the beam is fast af
People justifying budget bin sound design lol.
Its okay to like this still for sure. It isn't terrible. Certainly pretty standard for the industry though.
The visuals are great, Though i always imagined the sound would be like a tremendous tearing noise. Like a star, screaming its heat and flame in atmosphere that cant accommodate its power.
Technically Sanakan didn't get the GBE until 5:00 when she requested it, unsure what the beam weapon she was using before then was as they used the same sound.
I like suspense background music
so she was firing a lasgun before the GBE?
Midas it was probably just a really low powered and narrow beam.
first time she was using grade LEVEL 1 GBE, there are 3 levels of using this gun, last level grants target's decimation on molecular structure (like charged gravity gun by syringe-stimulator from Kirie).
But yes, it's the same lasgun.
@@himitsugawa4226 I think she's firing a laser, a laser beam before getting authorization to get a gravity beam. A gravity beam is far more destructive than a simple high power laser, at least with the mass of the City.
I like to think a gravity beam isn't actually strong but rather it pokes a hole in the gravity furnaces from the manga that stops the City from collapsing into a black hole. So the GBE is just dropping The City on your head every time it fires.
@@himitsugawa4226 are you sure? I thought it was a laser type weapon, given that she requested GBE permission and that the weapon functioned quite differently vis-a-vis recoil, beam emitted from lower aperture, surface heating etc.. I included it since I wasn't sure, and it certainly could have been the GBE of a different design or on a lower power setting.
cavok84 This film is not the original story, in the original story she didn't have to ask the permission.
This reminds me of what a 40k Dark Age of Man Volkite or Melta Weapon would be like.
gun is so powerful, it moves all the enemies from a bunch to a single direct line of fire. Truly, Gods best invention since the chainsaw and double-barelled sawed-off shotgun
If you return to base reality, you risk permanent deletion of your hardware and backup.
Killy: So anyways i start blasting...
This is up there with the sound design of the “I am Atomic” line
You can't just blow a hole on Mars Killy... *Releases limiter*
I like to see a borg drone adapt to that
Most "experts" agree than any universe vs the megastructure ends up with the former getting eaten by the locals. The only people who would stand a chance are those whos power is not based on realistic standards. Saitama for instance from One Punch Man would have no trouble traversing the megastructure mainly because his powerlevel is satire However, of all the discussions I've come across, Killy would stomp most characters from most franchises mainly because his full speed is relativistic. At full power, unlocked, repaired and reactivated he can dodge GBE beams. That is not fair against anyone. The only people who would make a good change against him are:
* Doomguy (Blessed by gods and too angry too die)
* Kerrigan (Stalemate, Physically weaker but superluminal thought)
* Don Fua (Battle Angel, but only if he gets enough time to execute his noble void palm or noble essence fist)
* Zekka (Battle Angel, actually has a decent chance against him)
* Goku (Come on...)
* Saitama (Killy most likely would die tbh)
My fav gun in all of anime
Holy shit bro doctor eggman packing some real fire power
Nihei likes 東亞重工業 and that sickest weapon in manga, the gravitational beam emitter. Wish had one of those.
I love that manga , they should make a movie about it
Really wish they animated the whole series…
Volume is way too low.
When I put my speakers in another galaxy I can still hear something...
It sounds so unsatisfying, like regular grenade launcher. “Fwomp!” The sound itself underscores how powerful this weapon is. The user himself tries not to use it because firing it could destroy what he’s looking for; a completely natural human amongst the entirety of the universe. Try to understand that this weapon fires in one direction, FOREVER. Everything along that path is destroyed.
Beautiful movie
Now that is a gun! I think there was a similar weapon (gravitational laser) mentioned in the Ender’s Game series at one point, as a planet-cracking weapon. Though in real life, gravity is absurdly weak compared to the other fundamental forces, so I’m not sure how practical it would be even if you could build it.
commenting so someone else can make the comparison of the CONTROLS service weapon being inspired of the look of the and mystery of the GBE
Imagine Superman have that instead of Heat Vision.
It kind of reminds me me of the blaster from the book Apocalypse Troll
That uses a multi dimensional generator to jump an appropriate size energy bolt onto the target it appears at the impact point and can burn through anything
Thanks for the bonus
Una excelente arma diseñó el autor. Súper novedosa en esa época.
Sin embargo... no hay que olvidar que en el manga existe una civilización que tenía escudos contra esa arma (muy extraños, tenían un componente orgánico de control también). El prota debió huir de allí.
This weapon seems like it could eventually exist
No??? Why do you think so?
yes the gun design is brilliant stuff - David Greer, and Bob Lazar guess we know how the gravity emmiter works now or somewhat?
best manga of all time
Bro I'm telling you, knights of Sidonia and blame take place in the same universe.
Kinda. I believe blame is an anime in knights of Sidonia.
i also remember characters in knights of sidonia watching a tv show and rooting for this guy.
Nope, the author likes re-using elements.
eh, just an anime laser. a "beam" of gravity would penetrate literally anything never stopping and would push any matter inside the beam uniformly. low power would cause a lot of internal damage from the sudden jolt of acceleration on that part with harder more uniform materials spreading the force and holding up better, higher power would punch out a cylindrical plug of what it hit at pretty high speed with .50cal exit wound like results left behind, at very high power friction at the beam edge would create a shockwave and a spray of shrapnel of any hard targets with the accelerated material slowly spreading out making an expanding cone of destruction from every point along the beam. scaling up from there would kill the user but going absolutely to the limit i guess at some point you'd get fusion along the edge of the beam (light-speed baseball anyone?) and just everything explodes.
firing one inside a solar system sized megastructure probably wouldn't be a good idea though.
This is such a huge missed sound design opportunity :(
Its a bubbly relatively normal sci-fi laser sound.
A bit bigger than a the most regular laser guns, but still so normal for how Blame is great for it's uncanny unthinkable sci Fi the sound design doesn't measure up. :c
So this is what happens when you put a covenant glassing beam on crack.
5:02 Portal sound!
I had a gun like this as a 'trap' in my D&D Dungeon. (a fusion gun)
Simply put, if the players tested it, they'd drill a hole thru the whole dungeon level.
And, quite coincidentally, raise the temperature of the room they're in to just above boiling...
Nifty....it lines the enemy up so they all die in 1 shot
Seems like the anime really did the manga dirty
i love blame
That seems like how the Las guns from Dune are.
noo noooo, gbe is not that weak. this anime fails to portray it
people who disliked this are the AI trying to take over
With everything that's transpired, this feels very poignant lmao
...stunning stuff!
2:45 is like a hacker when that have wall hacks and bullets that go through walls
The anime did the manga a disservice, but some of the scenes were cool
What universe is this even called? There's Blame, but also like 2-3+ other properties set within the same universe.
I be coming back to destiny 2
ah yes.... the F*ck everything gun where it erase anything, no matter how tough or big a target is and a true contender for BFG 9000, also the lore of knights of sidonia considered this weapon as the holy grail of weaponry because it can eat gaunas like a snack quite well.
Its like Xeelee Star Breaker Gun
That’s the whole reason I made this. I got really into the Xeelee books, and I loved that Blame and knights was the closest thing I’ve seen to a star breaker.
Was hoping someone knows it .
Hold on, did Blame get an adaptation?
Love this manga
i wish they make full anime
Starbreaker? 😳
