So, I recently went and watched the entire F-Zero anime (really good, gotta say).
And, I was kind of hung up on one thing.
So, right now Ryu Suzaku's Dragon Bird EX, and by extension the Black Bull and Blue Falcon, are getting their speed rating from escaping the explosion of the Dark Matter Reactor.
But, it kind of didn't.
When the explosion finishes, we see the wreckage of the Dark Matter Reactor in the same place as the rest of the Mobile Task Force, who were all in the Dark Star near where the explosion happened. And then immediately after, the Dragon Bird appears from the wreckage of the reactor not moving of its own volition, and Ryu is knocked out.
All this combined kinda makes me think that Ryu didn't actually escape the explosion, and rather the Dragon Bird EX just tanked the blast. This is also backed up by the fact that the Blue Falcon also is seen in the future piloted by Ryu, and Falcon got out of the vehicle before it could escape the blast. So if the Blue Falcon could tank the blast, it seems feasible the Dragon Bird EX could as well without having to escape from it.
Idk, maybe some F-Zero experts can explain it to me.
