It's More Unbelievable That He Dodged It... The Legendary Scene from "Char's Counterattack" Where Amuro's Prediction Skills Reached Their Absolute Limit

While the one who blocked it is impressive in their own right, honestly, the one who thought it would actually hit is equally absurd. The "pre-placed bazooka" tactic by Amuro Ray (CV: Tōru Furuya) depicted in the theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" is a legendary scene that immediately brings such thoughts to mind.

The Earth Federation Forces' Londo Bell unit embarks on what could be called a reckless operation—detonating explosives from inside Axis itself—to prevent Neo Zeon's Axis drop operation. The Ra Cailum docks with Axis, and Amuro heads toward the nozzle section in his ν Gundam.

Naturally, Neo Zeon wouldn't simply overlook this. Char Aznable (CV: Shūichi Ikeda) sorties in his Sazabi to intercept. True to his line, "I won't let you get near Axis's nozzle!", he thoroughly blocks Amuro's path.

What Amuro chooses here is the "pre-placed bazooka" tactic—hiding behind a rock while remotely firing a bazooka he had set up in advance. He predicts his opponent's movement and pulls the trigger the moment he's certain "he'll come there." Rather than reflexes or aim, it's the "prediction" itself that becomes the attack.

Char notices something amiss just before the shot is fired and instinctively defends with his shield. While he avoids a direct hit, clear surprise is evident on his face. The bazooka, being a physical projectile, is slower than beam weapons, which is precisely why he could react at the last second.
