Talk:Carnage VS Lucy/@comment-24106025-20180801122303

Now I am going to discuss a detail that so far nobody brought up yet and this is a huge factor in the fight.

This will contain spoilers.

It's possible to temporary disable Lucy's Vectors.

To explain this, I'm using the climax of 2 fight scenes in the Elfen Lied anime, all involving another Diclonius; Nana.



1st Fight with Lucy

Anyone familiar with this fight knows it didn't end well for Nana. Left bleeding out and limbless, she was tortured brutally, but when the miliatary intervened, Nana used one of her vectors to pull an extraordinary trick off.

Remember the Superman analysis of "Goku vs Superman" where a scene from "Superman vs The Elite" shows the hero focusing his heat vision through Manchester Black's pupils to reach his brain for a instant lobotomy, as it deteriorates Black's psychic powers.

Well Nana kind of did the same with her vector, lauching it into Lucy's uncovered eye, without damaging it and touching her brain. After that, she couldn't produce Vectors just enough for reinforcements to surround her.

Fight with Mariko

Nana, later down the series fought another diclonius; her Papa's biological daughter Mariko.

Mariko had a lot then vectors then any diclonius at that point in the story, making her a lot more dangerous and difficult to fight. And Nana was again on the ropes until Kouta came on to the scene to save her. Knowing his life is in danger of Mariko, she launched a Vector through her forehead like touching the brain and like with Lucy, Mariko couldn't produce vectors.

Now bear in mind: These disabling effects are temporary and both Lucy & Mariko regained their vectors after some resttime. It also helps to know that Nana struck them when they were distacted.
