keeping logic aside after a long time i enjoyed an arjun centric episode.This moment truly belonged to arjun and shaheer did well to potray it
Sabhayata, I'm deeply ashamed you of all people have asked this question. Allow me to break it down for you (I'm bored so be prepared for a long, pointless answer) 😆
Let's begin with the fish.
The fish has a ruby eyeball. When it explodes, instead of guts and blood and gore, it is clear that flowers drop down. And of course, the ruby eye is the "Achilles heel" ...
It wasn't swimming in water (unlike it's reflection counter friend), it was swimming in, as we see in many movies, space. We can see the stars, the galaxies, stuff like that.
Let's begin with the bow:
The bow is a different bow. Only select people can lift it. Think about the wands in Harry Potter. The wand chooses it's master, similarly the bow chose who can lift it and who couldn't. What's even more interesting is that the bow came with an arrow. That should tell you everything.
As we have all seen, bows in Starjuna doesn't comes with arrows. They magically appear when you draw back the bow string. This is a twist. And thus, there can be only one logical reason. This bow doesn't behave like other bows. You have to place an arrow on the bow. This is why it defies gravity, because this bow defies the properties of the "normal" bows in Starjuna.
Finally, let's come back to Mr. Fishy. Now we weren't shown the arrow leaving earth's atmosphere into outer space, so we can be confident that the arrow did not leave the planet earth in the technical sense, but wait... it did leave earth. How so you may ask? Quite simple, my very funny friend, quite simple. If you remember Dhristi (side note: did anyone notice that Arjuna didn't play his pranams to Dhristi ... poor fellow) shot an arrow to generate the fish challenge thing-a-ma-bob. So from this we can be clear and confident, that what Dhristi did and what Arjuna shot his arrow into was very well nothing but a rift in time and space created by an arrow show by Dhristi.
Let me give you an example. Pretend you have a cup of water and you take a straw, put it in the water and blow. Bubbles of air is going to come up. Similarly, in the water-like screen known as the sky, a "bubble" appeared that was of a different time, space, and dimension.
Now for all you scientists out there, you would probably be like "wait a darn tootin' second spatel23, fishies don't turn into flowers... ha." And I would say "you're right, fishies don't turn into flowers ... at least not in this world. But we have to remember that this fishy is not of this world (as demonstrated by the eye of the fish... how many fishes have ruby eyes)"... but another one you folks would say "so why was the fishy stuck in the space shown, shouldn't the fish be free.
Ahh, that's an excellent question. According to StarDhanurvidya, a text written by none other than the writers of Starjuna, outlines the various properties of firing arrows and opening dimensions and portals into different worlds. In chapter 4, verse 73: it is mentioned that an arrow can be supercharged to create a fence in the other dimension (this makes sense because we need something to keep the portal open). So the fishy, although not trapped, was clearly intrigued by this event that it had never seen. Little did it know that it's death was written all over it. Sigh ... rest in peace little animated fish friend...
🤣
OK now my term for a funny question: How did Duryodhana lift the bow? Heck, if he could lift the bow why didn't he just shoot the arrow, there was no need to have Karna do it for him. Pssh, what a wimp. 😆
