In episode 1 of Gundam Wing, after Wing Gundam was sent crashing down with a
Leo on the bottom of the ocean, Relena sees Heero unconcious lying on the
shore. When Heero woke up his helmet was removed and he immediately covered
his face while asking Relena _"Did you see my face?"_ as shown in this
picture.

He then _punched_ a button attached to his spacesuit and something on his
chest exploded.

See in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW4dY7w8Mz0) (sorry I just
included Gundam Abridge-ning episode 1 dub parody of Gundam Wing)

What actually did Heero do?

gundam gundam-wing
What is the button Heero pushed when he and Relena first met in the beach?


According to the [wikia](http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Heero_Yuy) the suit had
a built in suicide bomb but it was damaged by the salt water. I would guess
that this is to prevent the pilots from being captured. This would be similar
to fighter pilots during [War](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_pill)
time using cyanid pills to keep from being interrogated for delicate
information.
