Now hold on... Newtype power is very limited. Amuro might be a hero
in my book, but he's no strategist. There are so many examples that
showed his NT power contributed nothing. E.g. he totally failed to
read Bright and (especially) Mirai's anger/disappointment in him until
he overheard a _verbal_ conversation between Bright and Mirai. How
un-NT is that? He can sense the threat through 10cm of reinforced
armor and 50m of vacuum, but judging how far he can push Bright's
buttons by looking at his facial expression/knuckle sandwich? Can't
do. Classic Asperger syndrome.
yes, thats correct. the EF use Zeon's interest in the WB/Gundam as a
diversionary tactic to keep them distracted and have their 'spec forces'
busy. all the while picking up their production pace(ships/MS etc).
Bright brings up the subject once he gets in front of the EF higherups
@Jaburo(novels/comics version). Amuro's power of NT also includes the
I can't remember Amuro having a NT/intuitive insight to that point
prior to Bright's comment when they receive the order to launch to
space separately from the main fleet. Anyway, I think during and
after Odessa, there's plenty of evidence for any non-NT to see where
things are going. Kai probably have been saying the same thing from
day 1.
An NT event is one which is unexplainable by just "power of
observation", "paranoid cynism" and "dumb luck" combined. Examples
are Mirai/Bright steering WB out of Solar Ray's attack and Amuro
dodging unseen attacks 100 times in a row.
ability to see "the big picture"(kinda why he knew that the Zabis needed
to be stopped to end the war, and not Char).
Ehhh... what's your evidence to that? I can't remember Amuro talking
or doing anything specific about the Zabis. Especially he was present
when Garma died and personally killed Dozel, but both times he was
unaware who they were.
Amuro was nothing like a "big picture" guy, he was so "small picture"
that in episode 18, he tried to end the war single-handedly by wiping
out a small mining base. Even in episode 43, when his NT power should
be fully developed, he was still receiving a "big picture" lesson from
Char.
