Reichu: The way Sachiel is leaning forward here sort of gives an impression like, “I can take ya! BRING IT ON!!!” Rather odd, though, how the missiles seem to affect him more here than later; in the very least, they throw his torso backwards, while their subsequent effect is negligible.
Gundampilotspaz: He must not have had his A.T. Field fully unfolded at this point, which is why he reacts so much to these wuss missiles and yet seems unaffected when he catches the huge one (C-064).
Sharp-kun: Maybe he simply becomes used to them?
Kendrix: Or maybe he had yet to get a feel for how much he can block.
