Which was more destructive: the tens of thousands of Radon that kept spawning frantically, or a single GP02A Nuclear Warhead?
...Either way, it probably still paled in comparison to the destruction and aftermath caused when the Getter Engine was crushed.
After Shin Getter Unit 2 finished gathering the monsters, dragging and pulling together the countless Radon that should have been ravaging the city before finally gathering them high above Tokyo, Smart Head decisively pressed the nuclear launch button from inside Gundam Prototype Unit 2.
From that day on, the nuclear arsenal of the mecha-war Japan had directly become "negative three warheads."
The terrifying explosion, roughly equivalent in yield to Little Boy, almost instantly vaporized the clustered Radon swarm, creating an incomparably massive mushroom cloud and shockwave.
It was not that Hayato Jin did not want to drag the Radon to a more suitable location for collective disposal. However, those Radon understood that their continued existence depended on the red sand spreading everywhere below them. Once lured beyond a certain range, they actually ignored the radio waves emitted by Unit 2 and returned to the city.
After failing twice, he stopped trying to lead them away from Tokyo. Instead, he raised his altitude and began fleeing at full speed the instant Smart Head pulled the nuclear trigger.
Only Shin Getter Unit 2 and Hayato Jin could have escaped this area so effortlessly. Any other combination would likely have struggled to get away.
Although they had left a considerable buffer zone, the wind pressure and shockwave generated by the nuclear blast still inevitably reached Tokyo proper.
It was only natural that the skyscrapers could not escape unscathed, but even some lower-lying areas were inevitably hit. Kudankita, Chiyoda Ward, for instance, was forcibly smashed flat into a 2D shape by fragments of rooftop
