	064	Sachiel stops the missile single-handed. After it splits in three, he starts lowering hisarm. Finally, the missile explodes.	felineki: Another one of my favorite shots from this episode… I love the way Sachi's claws rip the missile to shreds. The little “shock wave” when it comes into contact with his hand is cool, too. Reichu: “Go from a gangly green giant to a buff bulging brute in seconds!” Andthis isn't the onlytime Sachiel pulls his “Instant Muscles” trick. Just to nitpick: According to [../images_production/sachiel_muscle.jpg production drawings] , Sachiel's shoulder carapace is supposed to be rigid, not flexible as it is here. HeWhoPostsStuff: It always looked more to me like his arm was just sort of "squished in" by the missile, and thuslooked thicker. Reichu: Now that I look at it, his arm DOES look kind of “squished in”… Maybe it's a combination of compressive tension andhis inflato-muscles. HeWhoPostsStuff: I don't even want to ask how much discussion there's been amongst fans as to how incorrect that missile's explosion is. I'm no weapons expert, but I've always been under the impression thatmissiles are designed to explode on impact; heck, everything else that hits Sachiel explodes on contact. Going by that, then presumably this missile would have detonated as soon as it hit his hand, instead of needing his arm to penetrate through the thing… Probably just done for dramatic effect. Dr. Nick: Well, some idiots who are not familiar with the term “artistic license” even consider it ablooper. HeWhoPostsStuff: I also find it interesting that the explosion starts at the rear end of the missile, where the propulsion engine is; apparently there's nothing else explosive anyplace else in the missile, heh. “Eat high-velocity utterly empty capsule, villain!” Reichu: Do we need to quote the 11th Law of Anime again?
