Real Talk

Not confirmed yet, maybe we'll find out more sOoOooOoOooon.

Blasto would have words with Thane if he could.

I don't recall Thane ever saying anything like that; though it wouldn't surprise me that we have lore contradictions here and there.

To counter that point, you have mentions in the codex how Hanar limbs are exceedingly dexterous and capable of fine manipulation; though not individually strong it does mention that they have a strong grip. In ME 2 you have resident space badass Zaeed mentioning how he was almost strangled to death by a Hanar. Plus Than himself even mentions how he was trained by the Hanar in the art of assassination so they must have some means of defending themselves.

I would say that the Hanar are more akin to a squid or octopus than a jellyfish; despite what the low brow characters of the setting say; and who's to say that they haven't created tools and weapons of their own (designed with Hanar ergonomics in mind) that a human like Shepard would find near impossible to use?

Maybe the guns Blasto got out were fake prop guns that were lightweight

Here's the thing.

Drells had a massive population. Hanars could save a few. Hanars are useless as hell so they mostly trained other species, especially the drells they saved before to fight for them. Thane is an expert as an assasin thanks to a huge jellyfish. The badass Blasto with a gun is an actor and I loved that part lol Thanks, Bioware.

Indeed! I didn't expect that content in Javik's DLC lmao For me, Javik and the Citadel are the best DLCs tho. The content is A++.
