If you want a simple explanation, basically, the shield is just going on the way of his sight. Exia sliced through Ribbons' monitor, so he need a space to see his target ahead. Blocking with a shield would be just like covering his eyes.

yes and no. by dropping the shield he diverted the gn particles that would have gone to it and put it all in his gn saber. which was the main reason. but also sight

@@ninjamonkeys21 the shield was basically useless though in a 1v1 against Exia, especially because Exia was designed specifically to destroy Gundams with its physical blade being able to cut through anything even GN shields, Reborns did the right choice of ditching the shield altogether because it would just hinder the 0 Gundam's mobility and his vision after his monitors were taken out along with the cockpit hatch, he had no choice in the matter if he wanted to gain a fighting chance since the 0 Gundam is a very old Gundam heck its basically the predecessor to every Gundam within celestial beings arsenal meanwhile Exia is a 3rd or was it 4th generation Gundam type making it superior than the 0 since it has more melee options than just a shield and a saber, nonetheless with the right pilot it could have worked out well but sadly Reborns just isn't a true natural innovator like Setsuna and his plot armor was already running thin so he might as well ditch the shield and try to be more agile alas it won't change the situation since his death was inevitable as he had lost everything at that point so even if he had escaped there it would put him another decades to rise up if he even can considering by that time celestial being itself would grow even more powerful

@@ninjamonkeys21 perhaps then again he could have still done that nonetheless if he had the shield, he does have a newer GN drive which outputs half of the 00 raiser need I remind you, and just one of those drives are enough to at easily least increase the output of one or two sabers at the same time with or without a shield that also takes up GN particles, again the shield being tossed away was more of an armor purge than it was to increase the output of the 0 gundams saber, if he wanted to he could have kept the shield as well while it generates a GN shield layer while also increasing the output of the saber in use the problem is it would hinder his mobility and his vision mainly which is why he opted out of doing so, especially since hes up against the Exia and even with the shield generating a thick GN shield layer it would still be useless against the Exias sword since it can and it will cut through anything, so to conclude throwing away the shield was more of a decision to increase the mobile suits agility to allow for better vision and not increase the sabers output because let me also remind you its not only the sabers output that was increased the thrusters were also increased during that charge which is a clear sign that it is capable of increasing output on all utilities without throwing away one or the other

Let's kill a meme (I can't). The Bright slap made things worse for Amuro to the point that he went out of White Base (and that's AFTER he gathered his thoughts and calmed down) since Bright was feeling his own pressures while not having any empathy for the unreasonable expectations set on Amuro; everyone in the WB was also being an ass to him at the time which made things worse. It was Amuro's journey through finding empathy from Ramba (an enemy), and Ryu's eventual sacrifice that set Amuro towards the right path. But if the original Bright Slap was intended to cosmically make the stars align to have these events happen, then does the bright slap serve the intended purpose. There are better implementations IMO of Bright Slaps in succeeding series: Wong Lee correcting then petulant self-described autist Kamille (and actually stopped being annoying - though pretty understandable on Kamille's end given that his parents just died very recently with no good outlets to vent out frustrations), Judau giving Wong Lee the business (there was no reasonable justification why Wong wanted to correct Judau at that point, especially when Judau was making shit happen while the AEUG was mostly crippled at that point), Jamil prodiving the greatest words to accompany the slap "When a young man strays from right path, a kind man needs to have the courage to raise his fist to correct him", even Jesus Yamato had this gem "you can't protect anything if feelings are your only weapons".

In fact, it is logic, for he is using a much older unit, and, with the beam saber being his only weapon, didn't have anything else to resort than close range. Furthermore, the shield wouldn't have been useful, for it wouldn't really stop the blade from cutting it like hot butter, being heated before even being touched by the green material (that's why the blade was changed to this appearance in the first place). So basically, there was only one thing worth trying for an immortal being as Ribbons
