This is even worse with his Gundam, the Bolt Gundam. He wears a pair of gigantic beam manacles - the bracelets are metal, as are the first links attached to them, but if he pulls them too far apart, a blue beam chain snaps between them.

Then there's the ridiculousness of Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Argo Gulskii.

See Minovsky Physics (wikipedia), even if it is extensive technobabble and handwaving. When it makes contact with a solid object, the field is disrupted around the point of contact, allowing the plasma to do its work.

In this case, though, you do get an answer: The plasma used in beam weapons can also be guided and shaped by specially-aligned magnetic fields, essentially forming a surface tension around the 'blade'. An especially egregious example is Deathscythe's energy scythe in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, which knows both how to come to a point and to curve.

In Gundam, normal energy weapons are fine for the small fry, but energy-based melee weapons are just about the only thing that can settle a duel between Gundams.
