zaShunina's logic for choosing Japan first is genuinely good. They're so rich and prosperous that they won't be too desperate to hoard everything for themselves and as a stable first-world country with no large territories to watch over, they also understand the concept of peaceful foreign aid.

So why so much CG?

No it doesn't.

It has been confirmed that giving people food and resources cripples their ability to produce their own food.

Electricity is just a tool, though, not a final objective. It's up to each country how to develop from there and what to use it for.

>>156188033
What if the device breaks?
What if there is something malicious in it?

There is just too much risk in it.

It pisses me off that the negotiator woman didn't immediately scream at him to take it all back. Such dangerous and risky objects shouldn't be accepted so quickly.

>>156188033
Electricity is a ressource. It being infinite doesn't resolve the issue of how to share it. There's the issue of the network too.

What he gives is more than the whole planet can use. If the world's governments tried to cooperate for once (which they should, since it's essentially an unlimited resource), it'd be the best chance for establishing relative world peace ever.

I think you overestimate humanity. Every contry wants one, sure, but nobody wants other countries to have it.

It's just like that greek myth. A god (I forgot which one) went to a village and a villager helped him out about something. So he told the villager: "tomorrow I'll come back. Think of something you want, I'll give it to you. But just remember that whatever you want, I'll give your neighbhor twice the amount of whatever you asked for yourself."
The villager was like "okay" and he thought long and hard about what it is he would want. A nice house? But his neighbor would get two... A pretty wife? But his neighbor would get two... Money? But his neighbor would be twice as rich as himself...
The god came back the following day and asked the villager what he wanted.
"Gouge one of my eyes out, please".

Many people would rather hurt someone else than enjoy what they have knowing someone else has more.

"Because you guys don't have any ressources" might have come off a little scummy so Shindo briefed Zashunina on what to say.

No. Japan is one of the WORST 1st world countries to choose.
In the real world, China would go apeshit and invade Japan, which would trigger the US to retaliate. Of course, they would never ever hint at that in anime.

There are plenty of developed countries that are rich, with Gini coefficients lower than Japan's, with no territorial disputes and that have no enemies/lunatic neighbours.

Is it, though?

Even if you accept that these are an infinite source of energy, the negative impacts are huge. For one, everyone who's job is even remotely related to energy production is out of work.

But you still need energy transport. Power lines, transformers, etc. Also, what kind of power do these balls generate? They seem to be smart enough that their output is able to match the draw at multiple different voltages and amperage at the same time, essentially matching the requirement of whatever is connected to them.

But you still need to transport the power. So do you just place these balls at the start points of power generating plants to keep the grid as it is?

Is there a limit to how many of these balls he can make? In which case, isn't it more efficient for every house to have it's own set? Or hell, just have every person carry a set and use it to light, heat, power whatever they use.

But if everyone has infinite energy at their disposal, that means you can suddently make all that nice technology we've made by couldn't because of power limitations. Space flight is now cheaper than driving a car. Power suits. Lasers, hover cars, hover houses, robot bodies, infinite computing, whatever. Our current level of technology is already capable of EVERYTHING, as long as we have the power to do it.

Having an infinite source of power is way too big a change. The implications are too much. It's better to control access to these, keep the status quo, and dole them out slowly... Or is it better to just say fuck it and go wild, have humanity colonize fucking Pluto in the next year?

The easiest way to understand it is video games. He's like a player, and our universe is the game. No matter what happens to the player character in the game, the player himself is unharmed. The only real danger to him is psychological infection which would cause him to self damage.

Now that's just not true. Infinite energy won't help you get into orbit. And though ion engines would benefit enormously from these balls' 100% efficiency, finite amount of them would limit the space travel to 1 or 2 ships at best.

infinite energy is nice and all, but can it solve a food shortage?

There is no food shortage in the world as a whole. If anything, overproduction.

>>156191286

With infinite energy, you can now turn water into hydrogen and oxygen. So you can make a plane that flies to the limit of the air for it's free electric props that now turn faster than turbines (since these balls also generate no heat while they generate power). Once you reach the limits of the air, you break down water into oxygen and hydrogen for your rocket to exit the atmosphere. Usually this is super inefficient, but who cares when power is infinite and free?

>>156191329

I think the best course of action is to nuke him. Just in case.

I think zaShunina genuinely means well, but is naiive and overestimates humanity's generosity.
I think a big part of his character development is going to come when he realizes just how big a mistake he's made, and learning how to fix it while dealing with negative emotions he's never had to experience before.

>>156191389
You still have to bring more or less the same mass of water (as a fuel) with you, so there's no considerable benefit.

No you don't, because you're not launching from the ground. You're launching from the upper atmosphere where you're already going at mach 7 or 8. You'll barely need any fuel to pop into orbit from that height and speed.

Think about this. We can have propeller planes that can now go as fast of not faster than current jet turbines do with this.

Yes. By introducing cheap as dirt means of transportation.

>>156191591
Because with rocket propulsion, you need to throw something to gain momentum. In chemical rockets it's fuel that reacts, gets hot and fast and accelerates your ship. You can accelerate ions with electricity, and it's used on spacecrafts, but the acceleration in these types of engines is much smaller than 1g so it's impossible to get to the orbit using them. Therefore even with Wam you're more or less stuck with traditional rocket designs. In theory you could use Wams to heat some matter to very high temperatures and use it as a propulsion source (instead of chemical reactions), which would somewhat simplify the task. But still you have the usual design problems about complexity and high temperatures and so on.

So what did zaShunina do to make Shindo capable of hearing his thoughts without mindrape?

>>156191649
Mach 8 is about 2.5 km/s, which is still much slower than the LEO speed of about 8 km/s.

>>156191714

You can build shit that would blow the fuck out of a gundam. Think Heavy Object, but with bigger guns, more armor while being smaller, and they fly.

I think they just talked for a really long time to clarify everything. Keep in mind that they had like 23 hours to talk things through in private.

>>156191844
Keep accelerating thing. You have unlimited power, so at this point, you can keep accelerating in atmosphere until you reach the limits of friction before you turn on the rocket to fly out.

>>156191804
Telepathy wasn't what he tried to do during the mindrape. That was an attempt at sending information over multiples "channels" (sight, feeling, smell, echolocation, proprioception, etc) simultaneously. But it seems we're too weak to doubt and uncertainty to withstand that.

Depending on how it's handled, it'll either be the anime of the year, or the disappointment of the year.

The pacing seems really odd. I hope we get an episode or two devoted just to character development.

Japan is a legit choice for this.

It's in the top for HDI, wealth, total wealth, GDP, tech. It's nominally a part of "the west" while also being a part of Asia. It isn't the biggest around so it'll have to share, but is big enough and has big enough allies to protect itself, it's geographically isolated.

Plus the author is Japanese, so he went with the government and societal reactions he thinks he knows best.

>>156193178
It's super noticeable even when they're not moving.
It's also why most of the backgrounds are ridiculously simple.

The one advantage CGI has over drawn animation is that it's less costly to have lots of moving things on screen, and you're able to avoid recycled frames. Besides Kado (which is cool) itself, they aren't really taking advantage of that at all.

Other countries besides Russia (and China, but their nukes are shit so it doesn't really count) don't have the balls (or money) to build up a nuclear arsenal that could glass every speck of dirt on this planet a few times over. That's what you need for deterrence to do shit, because advancements in missile defense systems make it feasible to fight (though, with lots of casualties) countries besides the US / Russia / China without having your country entirely glassed.

The largest nuke the US has has a 3.33mile kill radius and 7 mile blast radius (the thermal radiation is more of a long term effect if exposed to it for long enough, so in warfare its only relevancy would be medical costs which aren't exactly the biggest concern when the world has gone nuclear war mode). For the most part though, the majority of the world's nukes have around a 1 mile kill radius.

You're not going to be able to glass Russia, China, or the US with just 300 nukes. Not to mention like 70+% of them would be shot down by missile defense.

That's why the US and Russia have so many. People make fun of them, but in a world war scenario, a couple hundred is not going to cut it.

>>156195160
To add on, when I say 70% that's taking in the factor of ones that fail, miss, get intercepted, and shot down. Current missile defense has about a 50% success rate, though they're hoping with recent advancements we'll be able to get that to jump up quite a lot.

This is hardly like Arrival, that was more about trying to set up a communication, while here, the communication problem has been resolved in 30 seconds and it's moving into the compromising part that Arrival never went into. In Arrival, it was "here, have our language, now I expect you guys to help us 3000 years later, kthx bye."

>You're not going to be able to glass Russia, China, or the US with just 300 nukes.
You don't need to.
All you have to do is target large population centers.
Take out Moscow/St.Petersburg/Yekaterinburg or NYC/Washington/LA and you'll virtually paralyse the country for months.

>>156195379
>All you have to do is target large population centers.
Pfffffft
There's a reason we spread our missile silos around the midwest and not in population centers.

You either glass the entire US / Russia or you shoot yourself in the face because a nuclear attack on a population center gives the authorization to glass the country that attacked and all of their allies.

It is not working this way, anon.

Nigga china isn't sinking their whole economy over some nationalist shit flinging over a pile of rocks.

>>156195374
Pretty much. Arrival seemed to assume that squid grammar would fix all the world's problems; zaShunina clearly doesn't expect that.

>>156195457
Does it matter that you can fire back, if Washington and New York got nuked?
Your chain of command would be paralyzed, missile silos in the midwest or not, there's a high probability you'd surrender.

Well it doesn't look like zaShunina came to Earth for a picnic, he's here with a very definite proposal.
That being said, when are we going to see people trying to get to the Kado to deify it?

>>156195881
Sounds good.

Why deify the Kado when you have a literal space Jesus?

>>156195840
Not how it works. Chain of command extends very far, and when it's severed there's usually a contingency to launch a retaliation strike.
Plus there's NORAD which will give up to a 25 minute notice beforehand.

If you attack the US with an ICBM your country is glass, period

>>156195889
Judging from all "god" comments, soon. Though chances are that they'll try to deify zaShunina and not Kado.

>>156196059
Never thought to wonder why the USSR and the US never went to war with each other despite the difference in ideology being greater than that of any ideology difference that's triggered war before?

It's because of nukes. That's all.

And now make WEG out of it.

Just look at the main visual for a second. Zashunina is the one getting the messiah treatment. Even if the narrative doesn't end up doing it, at least a few people in universe should.

>>156195840
>Chain of command
You realize one of the battle strategies for not just US command but even for common soldiers is that when chain of command is paralyzed they just fucking attack everything indescriminately and push forward anyway?

>>156196635
No I didn't know, that's why I baited people into answering to that question. Also thank you.
Well, that sounds dangerous.

They're stable, but my qualm is that ayylien's reason to come to Japan was what Japan lacks. They have a lot of "sharing and sympathizing" problems. They have been raised to not trouble anyone and mind their own business. Their adoption and Child Protection Services system sucks because they believe in blood relatives and that the blood parents should take care of the children even if there's some abuse (obviously a lot of abuse will get the child taken away but major decisions still belong to the shitty parent). For this reason their police also do not often get involved in domestic spats. Women have a hard time getting police protection for stalking since they believe the couple should sort it out. Women and men believe they should not call out on train groping as being defensive will cause a disruption. Etc. The writer could've bullshitted a different reason.
