Gundam Arashi
Explain how a shockwave would work without any type of medium for it to travel through.

Gladly. We're not talking about a puff of air, here. It's a nuke. As i recall, nukes don't depend on air to wreak destruction. In fact, a nuke would be even more effective in space, since there's no wind or terrain to hinder the spread of radiation. A nuke's power is in the radiation it emits. Science tells us radiation is the transfer of energy without a medium. Vast amounts of thermal energy, gamma rays, free-floating neutrons, and of course the big-a** EMP that comes from nuclear fusion would all travel in a wave, spreading across all directions from the point of detonation.

No shockwave, just a wave of organ killing radiation. The suit would be mostly unharmed if the heat doesn't get to i, but the person inside becomes crisp.

Yes, shockwave. There is the radiation that's harmful to organic matter, but you neglected to address the EMP that comes from a nuke. I believe i mentioned it. http://0.tqn.com/d/chemistry/1/0/m/R/1/nuclear-explosion-in-space.jpg That's a nuke that was tested in space. It was detonated in 1958, and fried nearly everything on the surface below the blast in the way of electronics, without a single rad poisoning anyone. (bear in mind that this would be much more crippling nowadays, since we are much more dependent on electronics that people were in the late 50's.

I would believe that the GP-02 would have EMP Protection, I'm not so sure about Exia. But the voting ended with 5 to Exia's favor.
Now we get to argue about Turn A vs Hi-Nu lol

Well, that vote was totally gay. Exia only won because of its popularity. Anyways...I already said everything I'm gonna say about Turn A. It wins.

I favor it as well, cause even if you defeat it, the black hole core will kill you anyway XD
