<p>In the midway of the 12th episode the #35 Diclonius failed to use her vectors. Also just before she failed to do so, she was attacking Nana or #7 at the edge of the bridge. The #7th saw something at the #35th's chin/neck and one of the #7th's vectors attacked and took #35 by surprise. Soon after the attack the #35 was no more able to use her vectors. So my question is what did #7 do to stop #35 from using her vectors? Because nothing was shown as to what was #35th's weakness and how did #7th find that weakness. </p>

#7 hits #35 in the forehead at 6:00. And that turned off #35's vectors. But the exact mechanics seems to be unexplained.

Maybe there was an explanantion in manga? I haven't read it yet. Have you? @Mysticial

No I haven't. The manga supposedly diverges significantly from the Anime anyway.

How were #35's vectors stopped in episode 12?
