I hope my last post was okay. From what I remembered from the show, androids (Android's that have that red ball on their hand as Gero had, and like Josh has now) can absorb energy blast thrown at them. If you want me to change it I can!

I (and Daiko) figured that he would try to catch it, but that attack has more physical force than energy. I thought it would make sense if that was absorbed, but with the side effect of being forced back with it.
