While the Sengoku Astray Gundam in the anime has swords that are similar in practice, I think our starting Gunpla should be toned down and less-reliant on special powers or particle gimmicks. After all, none of our characters are kid geniuses and probably don't know the full potential of the Plavsky particles yet. We're just shooting for this US youth tournament; the high-tier Gunpla with those godly abilities are mostly world-class.
