it's funny how barbatos and his univers gundums are like the bayverse of gundum being in power not ccause of powers abilites and such but a more grouinded approach of skill stength speed tech equipment and theri ability to procces and use it al to their advantage I like it
Highly resistant with Nanolaminate Armor. The whole reason is to fight against super boss like Moble Armor that have nothing but energy weapons. So a gundam that almost energy proof and pure physical with a damn huge mace/sword against a gundam that has energy sheilds, energy swords, energy guns.
Who let bro cook? In all seriousness, this is my take on a battle between ariel and lupus. First of all, stats. Ariel is more technologically advanced, yes, but that doesnt do anything to help her win. She has beam sabers so she can fight up close, but is much better at farther ranges because of her bits. She is also quite fast when flying, making it better to use long distance range. She can make a field that disables mobile suit controls, but only works with all her bits. lets just say those are her basic abilities. Now for lupus, lets get the main argument straight. What is the coating and how does it work? Nano laminate coating is stated and shown to be resistant to beam attack's, with it bouncing off when hit, and applied like a paint. Seeing how the sword mace had this coating, its likely the frame does too. With a LOT of heat, the coating wears off, but that would be with super long exposure to the beams. Okay, now the actual mech. Barbatos excels at close range, being nearly undefeatable. It has powerful, medium-close range arm cannons that can rotate 360 degrees. And because of the alaya vinyana, it has increased spacial awareness, increasing its mobility. It can also disable its limiter, making it much stronger and faster, at the cost of the pilots health. In a fight to the death, heres how i think it would go. Ariel would try close combat, and would quickly get outmatched. She would soon rely on her bits, staying out of the lupus range. The lupus might not be able to handle the numbers of the bits, and is forced to deactivate its limiter. Noticing the power, the Ariel activates its field to disable the lupus. However, with the alaya vinyana being a direct connection, it doesnt have an effect on it. With the limiter deactivated, the cannons are able to precisely stirke the bits while barely needing to dodge them because of the nano laminate coating. It charges at ariel and cuts her down, winning. Now, ariel rebuild would be able to take the lupus down, and ariel can easily destroy barbatos. The rex, however, would most likely destroy ariel rebuild. Thats just my thoughts though.
Barbatos wins because outside of physical attacks with the gun bits Ariel can’t damage Barbatos due to its nano laminate armor that nullifies beam weapons.
With all due respect Is barbatos faster doe? Cause like let say aerial use maximum permet score of 6(beyond 6 is either without pilot or in the form of gundam calibarn, so i didnt include that), the link with suletta is much higher than that of barbatos with mikazuki, wish me to say suletta have faster reaction time
Barbatos is literally just a victim of its inuniverse timeline, they locked alotta those common to see weapons from other series’s away 300 years ago after getting most of humanity’s shit kicked in by the mobile armors including beam weaponary (which most people say barbatos falls too) the same beam weaponary that was shown to literally level settlements. The ahab reactors are one of If not the most advanced propulsion/ power units in the gundams and are capable of producing artificial gravity on the ships they are used on, Barbatos is equipped with 2! I’m certainly not saying the barbatos is infallible or unbeatable but it definitely is a lot stronger then most common fans and people give it credit for it’s a gundam for a reason.
I say it'd be aerial mainly because the advantage of self flight is huge. Even in literal history, our history, the use of planes played a massive role in both sides of World War 1 and World War 2.
Isn't the technology in ibo like ass compared to the other series. Seriously the beal lost the moment it was revealed and that was supposed to be some all mighty gundam in their universe. Also none of those ibo units can block a beam riffle let alone funnels tracking you. They're cooked. I love ibo as the next guy and mikazuki, but wtf is the lupus rex doing against a unit that's literally leagues above them in technology. Like i get why people think the barbatos is goated because it's destroying other low end units, but in all honesty if you really compare that thing to any other gundam outside of its universe its cooked.
The ibo armor can barely handle a beam that isn't even that concentrated like beam weapons from other gundams a small beam can cook the pilot alive they'll just get oneshotted by a stronger beam
I dont know if i have a say on aerial since i haven't seen the shiw yet but plan on it when i get premium crunchyrool but i am almost done with blood orhpans and the vela vinata system is supposed to help with speacial awareness and with mikasuki unpredictable fighting style and raw strength it would be hard to defeat him if orca gave the order to kill
Remember they had to commit a war crime and fire illegal weapons from orbit just to damage barbatos even then mikazuki killed several soldiers and ms before he bled out
