1:58 to answer your question, theoretically, in-universe, yes. The neural link tech (or AV, short for Alaya Vijnana) is a lost tech in the Post Disaster universe and the mobile suits that are running with it are mostly rudimentary replications of it, meaning it's not even close to how the original 72 Gundams' peak performance in the Calamity War, 300 years pre-dating the setting of the series (God, I hope they make an OVA or a series out of it someday). Though it's most definitely still gonna wreck most of the ones piloted by regular people without neural links, no doubt. Dunno how they'll fare with other Gundam series pilots with all their space wizardry and the power of love and mankind's warmth, etc., tho...
Just to clear a few things the pilots are connected to the machines with a surgery they get when they are children where rods are inserted into their spines which allows them to interface with the machines but when using a gundam frame this system has limiters to protect the pilot however they couldnt even get near the mobile armor without removing the limiters which is why his eye started bleeding also after this fight he lost the ability to use his left side also the mobile armors are completely autonomus machines which wiped out 30% of humanity and go after densely populated cities
@@tomasgrinkevic4427 I think you're the second person to tell us about this particular Gundam's function. The surgical rods sound brutal for a kid to go through. Thanks for the informative comment and for watching.
@evantiel727 no after the fight in Edmonton mika lost the ability to see from his left eye and function in his left arm after the hashmal fight he lost all feeling in his left side there's even a scene where he's laying on a bed with his right side squirming and his left side completely motionless
The Hasmal the AI bird robot they're fighting is an ancient machine, from a time when the Mobile suits weren't Beam proof yet so in this fight the Hashmal was just spamming the lazers because its in it's program.
@@WadeWadeReacts The armor has a special reflective coating that deflects beam attacks and also acts like a layer of extra protection making it physically stronger but it can flake/chip off from too much beam spam attacks or a big enough physical impact.
@@WadeWadeReactsGundam Barbatos has nano-laminate armor, it's a coating that's been in use since the og gundam anime and its purpose is to deflect beam based attacks, but the coating degrades when doing so (the beginning of the fight where Mikazuki dashes and the beam scatters around him instead of directly damaging Barbatos is a good display of it in action), but Hashmal having talons, its frame and tail to throw around make it a threat to a variety of different types of mobile suits. The thing is a mobile armor, those are basically something you only drop into an area you want completely cleared of life. They didn't really explain why it was buried there, but it was one of the worst things they could've dug up, tbh. That and the fact that the Plumas (the dark colored bug things that were skating around during the fight) chew up mobile suits as well.
Mobile Suit Gundam iron-blooded orphans is my least favorite Gundam series. I know a lot of people like it, but I don't at all. One of the reasons I hate it is because of the fans. The fans ruin it for me
@@WadeWadeReacts what the fans did for me to hate series is they keep saying it the best Gundam series ever and the Gundam Barbatos is the strongest or best ever
@@daisukeniwa402645I rarely see people saying barbatos is the strongest everyone knows barbatos lupus rex doesn't stand a chance against Qan T turn A or any of the stronger mobile suits but people can have the opinion to say its their favourite gundam series
@@WadeWadeReacts its true. There are small cults that gather around certain suits and pilot. In the fandom. Two particular are the cult of geezus yamato and the ibotards. And yes the ibotards will claim this guy is the strongest because. . . . Animation, ahab waves, and NLA. Without actually you know go through critical thinking about the lore.
@@WadeWadeReacts IBO is a great story but as others point out Barbatos is really down on the ranking mostly because IBO tech is more primitive than the other timelines, the fans on the other hand has the "vocal minority" that ruins it for others. The hate started because of how the show ended, which is a bitter reality check with a moral of the story type ending, not a happy ending, and since others hated the ending the die hard fans hated back and that's how the IBO simps came to be.
Gundam barbatos is not better then other Gundams just because the pilot and Gundam are connected. There are gundams out there that are at least 10 or more time stronger than the Gundam Barbatos

Correction after this fight he couldn't move his body at all, only when connected to the body could he move his body...

So, if the beam made contact made contact with this mobile suit, it would remain undamaged?

Still such a great fight equally this is where the tail came from from that MA is where the Barbatos Got it from

@@daisukeniwa402645 where does it rank against other Gundam?
@@WadeWadeReacts it depends on the pilots. It is close to the bottom
@@WadeWadeReacts. . . . Mid to bottom tier.
