Arbitrary Maximum Range: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 25:
** Friction depends on velocity. Even if the coin melts, the molten stream of metal retains the velocity it had before melting. The specified distance might actually mean the distance at which the coin's material evaporates into thin air - but even then, the result would be a rapidly scattering cloud of metal molecules with an effect similar to a ''really'' hot flamethrower. Still, this doesn't explain how the one she fired {{spoiler|against Telestina}} simply disappeared as soon as it reached maximum range due to the target [[Awesomeness By Analysis|knowing how it works and backing off in time]]. That or {{spoiler|Telestina simply coated her mecha with an extremely heat-resistant material}}.
** On the other hand, Mikoto can launch objects MUCH bigger than a coin; the one time we see her do it, the projectile draws a thick heat trail ''at least'' several hundred meters long (we don't get to see how far it flies). She simply prefers coins due to their [[Boring but Practical|small size and being readily available at just about everywhere]].
** [{[Fridge Logic]]: In episode 1 of the anime, Mikoto mentioned that she had to limit herself in order for the examiners to get any readings at all.
