Everyone talks about Athrun and Kira turning the fight here, but let's take a moment to acknowledge Cagalli. For the last several years, she has done more politics than combat, and as such, she is vastly out of practice from the pilot she was at the end of the previous series. She has an untried machine that she has no experience in as well. And she still goes against Shinn as her mecha is the only chance anyone has at that point against Destiny. And then, even later, despite combat damage and nearly being killed, she still breaks the siege at the Defense HQ. She's one tough lady when the chips are down, and there is no time for the doubts that plagued her at the beginning of this series.
In addition, Kagari is dealing with Among Coordinators, a higher species of humans, there is also one that is especially called Ace-level. She is an excellent pilot, but not at an off-standard level. (You will find out why this is said when you watch the movie))
I always liked cagalli but I think she and athrun have been poorly written in Gundam seed destiny. It's one among many flaws of Gundam seed destiny that have made it my least favorite anime. A great joke of a sequel to a great show.
@@gr8haxit's why I don't find the sword grab impressive. Anyone can do that if they go into seed mode. The moment Shinn entered Seed mode Kira started sweating balls and was running away from a single beam rifle.
I smiled soo hard when Strike Freedom arrived with ∞ Justice.. They look awesome!! 😍 I love how Athrun immediatley got up when he saw the Justice.. He was like: "hey.. that's mine.." 😂
Fun fact: The infinite justice and Strike Freedom's designs were modified based on Athrun and Kira's combat data respectively. It's not just his - it's tailor made for him
Took 40 episodes before they gave Cagalli a redemption is so saddening. She should've been a badass princess, leader of a nation and strong gundam pilot right from the start.
If what reddit said was true, there were a lot of internal conflict during Destiny’s production. Considering how inconsistent the quality of Destiny was, I am inclined to believe them.
@@-SP. Oh boy, I've just saw the Gundam Seed Freedom movie and man it blew my expectations. Its a must watch. All hell breaks loose when kira is going to **** (Spoilers) K I L L everyone and everything 2 and a half hours ain't wasted. Best movie ever for Gundam seed.
@@Wolvenworks lol are you confused? Jet stream attack was the black tristars in the og Gundam (0079), your taking what I said and saying it back to me as if its something different.
Kira's entrance, Lacus' talk with Athrun, Mu saying his catchphrase, Rey calling Kira a phantom and Athrun finally making up his mind This episode had a lot of great moments
13:28 is just majestically epic. S.Freedom throwing both rifles in the air, defending against Destiny’s sword and thus grabbing back his weapons, power of plot armor
Kria's Seed mode was like Shin's (at first) Controlled by Emotional Anger (Rage) to protect. Only when he finally realized that "Neither Will alone or Strength alone..." where he really controls his SEED activation and duration.
SHin's use of Destiny was "over use" even though it was powered by Nuclear (which should be renewable (under normal usage). His pattern from Impulse shows that. He does push the machines to their limits. However, his anger (rage) in SEED Mode, is the suit's weakness.
Everyone was surprised when Kira returns on Earth but, not just everyone. Even Lacus was surprised to him because he didn't give a speech to stop the fight. He was doing his own task to disable every single unit until it's done. This is why this episode offered me with interest
I mean he just barely made it in time to stop shin from trying to (and knowing his record probably NOT) killing his sister, I think he’s more then a little miffed right there.
So basically Athrun just won't accept any Gundam that is not RED as his main vehicle. That's why he refuse Legend Gundam. Like he said: Wtf It's not RED. I refuse it. 🤣
09:40 this lull before the clash between spaceships... And then the 2nd in command starts to give orders to activate their weapons, man, this always gives me goosebumps
Cagalli leading Orb forces while fighting and piloting Akatsuki is so cool! I just wish they made her like that since the beginning and not how they portrayed her as weak and foolish. She doesn't even need Athrun who always abandon her 😢 She's strong and she's a great leader. That's my Cagalli! ❤
He did not abandon her he left because he wanted to try to protect orb which is their home for what they were battling for during the war and they wouldn’t allow it by destroying orb which in fact the archangel crew that is on the ship is orb their home and he was trying to defend and protect orb at all cost he just need it to focus on what was a head of him and he still loves and cares very deeply about cagalli
The enter battlefield of S.Freedom from space was F cool(in my childhood memories) but after rewatch I change my mind … 3 purple Paratroop drop to battlefield and use “Jet stream Attack” destroy Zaft Mobile suit is F amazing!! Anyway thank you so much for upload GSD(one of my fav gundam series since childhood)🙏🙏🙏
Nothing will beat the original Freedom entering from space, and targeting multiple enemies with it's wing lasers back then...i think it's in the original gundam seed, not in angst boy destiny era haha
15:52 Cagali's character development took a nosedive in this series but at least we got this one moment. Now Cagali, next step is to crank up that Thugnificent and stomp Yuna in the nuts till he tells you everything about Djibril, including his preferred brand of toothpaste!
3:00 The angel now healed of her wounds steps once more onto the field of battle. Not to avenge its damaged wing, but to protect the place she has hidden herself and in her recovery, come to call her home. Once more she challenges the new angel, black of wing and drenched in the old angels blood. Once more the angels of earth and stars stand at odds to stand for their ideals.
22:25 :- it was at this moment that ray and shin should’ve known that they will get messed up, since the og and legendary duo is back together!!! Shinn thought he was a better pilot than athrun just because he defeated kira! But always remember, athrun is the only guy who truly defeated kira when fighting him in a kill or get killed battle! Shinn on the other hand only defeated kira when kira didnt wanted to defeat him or kill him!
Am I dreaming? This anime is my teen era !!! I have both boy crush and girl crush towards Kira and Lacus ! Damn ! I'm fangirl for Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny era ~~
you look at shinn at final fight and he can barely aim. even if you give him freedom it's not going to work. plus you look at games stats. his shooting ain't that high either compared to athrun and kira.
I don’t care who you are Lacus is a military genius. She got war factories, production overpowered gundams for two coordinators that are above the rest. I bet they more elsewhere
8:03 Here we come who's make a comeback. Thank goodness Kira saves Cagalli right on time. And so farewell,Shinn as a main hero 😂😂😂. 12:03 the three trio DOM Troopers makes first appearance and said an iconic quotes from previous Gundam series "Jet stream attack!"
That's the genius of Destiny. This is still Shinn's story. And the battle for Orb perfectly sums it up. For a LOT of reasons. The series up to this point is Shinn experiencing tragedy and being guided into exactly the wrong lessons at every turn, whether it be by pride, or by an authority figure being JUST kind enough to make him like being told what to do by them, just enough that the other mentor figure in his life(Athrun) comes across as someone he learns quickly to hate. Up to this point, Shinn has loved and lost and blamed the Freedom(and not the people actually responsible), has faltered and blamed Athrun, and by consequence, blames the Archangel as well, and has been guided into hating Lacus too, and up to now, as far as he and the Minerva crew knows... they're all dead. So right now, they're riding high on a series of hard-won victories, especially Shinn, who has built his entire confidence and character on those victories, killing those he thinks are responsible for his loss, surpassing his mentor figure, all of it. The battle for Orb? Especially in this episode? Takes apart every single one of those moments. So everything Shinn built himself on gets deconstructed with all the subtlety of a Big Zam. This episode is effectively the turning point for Shinn's character where he gets completely torn down to less than he was when he started by the end of the series, that moment when not only all of his victories are shown to be lies, but when he starts to slowly realize everything he'd established himself on, the ideals of Zaft, all of it? None of it was real. And he has to come to that realization while fighting a war over the very island where his family was killed as bystanders because of someone fighting a war in the air over it. It's a genius bit of storytelling that a lot of folks missed. What's more is that the battle for Orb? EVERYONE lost. Orb and its allies in this fight start at a disadvantage and add on forces more and more, but they don't really... win. They start with the Akatsuki and Cagalli being useless as usual, they get the freedom, the doms, the justice, Mu and his fighter jet, and... it's still not enough to decisively turn the fight around in a big way, not in any short order anyway. At best, it falls to a stalemate until two of the three people Zaft was looking for end up dead almost entirely by accident, and the third one gets away. And that's the other thing.... Zaft doesn't win either. They came with the goal of getting Azrael, and they whiff it. He got away, Zaft loses a lot of naval assets, and retreats, and ultimately, everyone loses, Azrael gets his way and commits mass murder with a moon laser, and Athrun probably gave himself more brain damage again. The Minerva crew have to contend with having gone toe to toe with an older ship that theirs is based off of and being at a dead stalemate, and just afterwards, the Zaft people have to contend with coming to terms with having been lied to about who Meer is when Lacus gets on the broadcast and reveals herself. The fight for Orb is full of a hell of a lot of ups and downs and moments and such, but ultimately, it ends on a wet blanket, and to draw it back to the main point, the battle for Orb ends with Shinn realizing that everything he's been praised for is wrong, his promotion is a lie, and that he still feels like he has to prove himself, so much so that when he DOES finally take out the space-racist, it's... not enough, and he's still a broken kid. So when the final scene plays, when Shinn's run out of things to do, when his suit is in pieces on the lunar surface and he's watching everything his idolized teacher strived for burn in the distance, and he doesn't have any work he can put himself to in order to put it out of his head, and he absolutely breaks? It's believable. Kira is simply a force of nature in Shinn's world, and is in essence his antagonist right up to the post-battle scene. This is Shinn's series, and it's about adversity and how that adversity can be used against us to build us into something we'd rather not be. How being torn down hurts, and how rebuilding on bad foundations can hurt worse.
@@yuzahira6551 nobody else would have even thot of doing it even with their seed mode 😏 Kira's accuracy & agility alone without SM is already a feat nobody else in the series could compare
@@xiandiv9549 i mean after that Shinn use his seed mode too and clearly Kira is in disadvantage after that it's like his seed mode is weaker than Shinn sometimes I want to see Kira facing Shinn seed mode without him using it first like Athrun, he destroy Shinn Excalibur without entering seed mode while Shinn is in seed mode
@@yuzahira6551 what?? In what part did you think Kira was at a disadvantage? Lol. Piloting skills Kira is better, machine capabilities freedom is better. Seed mode perhaps Shinn might be at the same level of awareness is the same as kira and athrun, however athrun won because of machine feature difference. In space battle they were all not in Seed mode but Kira and Athrun was clearly better in fighting than shinn, shinn was getting owned. In seed mode he clearly wasnt athrun's equal, whom which is prolly the only pilot who can rival Kira
Oh how I missed Battleship fight in Gundam series. Its literally the best scene next to gundam fight scene. Gundam Seed will forever be the best gundam series.
Perfect time to promote some figurines, collectibles at the end lol. Nice Kira's entrance, comeback for Mu. Love to see murderous confused kid get schooled, and humbled again.. Manipulation vs Motivation
I didn't realize this before. But Shinn and Rey are essentially in that category of "One Man Army" like how Gundam 00 S2 did with certain pilots. Allowing them to call the shots instead of the commander of the ship.
not really . they just can do whtever they want as a member of FAITH . basically FAITH member is higher position than the commander of the ship just like athrun before
Surely, I dislike the SF so much (but the X10A Freedom is my favourite Gundam in SEED), but I very much like its beam rifles, which can be combined into a longer one. Wished Kira used it more often and in other ways instead of being used as a stock footage of it being blocked by Shinn/Destiny's beam shield. Kira can use it like a sniper rifle for example or mimic how Dearka uses his Buster's combining cannons.
0:13:27 that is my fav part in this whole series, if you notice Kira is like a pro gamer vs an annoying kid in online gaming Shinn is like trash talking, but Kira is a quiet kid, but what makes me love about it, is the reason why Kira has to throw both his beam rifle, if he stores it in the side skirt armour, the whole railgun is moved back and can't fire, so he is going to be in the position where he needs to use that red beam on the abdomen which probably going to kill Shinn as you know, Jesus Yamato has become batman, and has no killing rules ~ so in a split second, he decided to throw them in the air, catch the sword with his hands+ beam shield and catch both of them in mid-air , striking a pose, and Shinn taught he is taunting him ~ XD Kira is also known to split beam laser with his beam saber, a Jedi-like move~
If I'm not mistaken Jet Stream Attack was taken from the Universal Century Timeline. It's most likely the same as the Dom of that timeline. It is not performing trans-am. The particles emitted might be Volte Lumiere particles originated from stargazer gundam.. I think freedom has it too. It acts as barrier for the Dom so they can do a linear barrage against superior enemy numbers.
Yeah people don't realize that the sword grab isn't really that impressive since Seed mode was involved against an unseed Shinn. People also don't look at the fact that the Destiny already lost half of it's weapons at this point. With just a beam rifle, Shinn manage to push back Kira and make him run away for a bit until Shinn retreated
@@desuwa1994 It's not really impressive that Shinn managed to give Kira some issues in combat so it's heavily downplayed once Shinn got the Destiny and Kira had the Strike Freedom. Destiny potentially has higher mobility and thruster output meaning it can move around much faster and it fits Shinn's berserker style plus the WoL can be freely activated if they aren't damaged. The Strike Freedom can only hit that kind of speed with its DRAGOONs deployed and that only happens in space and Kira in general despite being able to match but not quite exceed Athrun in close-quarter combat, can still be a monster using beam sabers if he has to. Even before Shinn was out to kill Kira when they used the Impulse and Freedom respectively, Shinn still surprised Kira a few times. Notably when they first fought each other (before Kira tried to talk reason to Athrun) when the Freedom tried to slash the Blast Impulse's chest and head, and the Impulse avoided it by spinning around in time causing Kira to miss and leaving him briefly stunned that he actually failed to take out the enemy MS after which Kira disengaged from fighting Shinn. As for the Destiny vs. Strike Freedom in Orb, Kira didn't run away, if anything Kira stayed on the battlefield but wasn't given much freedom (no joke intended) to use the Strike Freedom's high speed to stay at a safe distance because Shinn wasn't letting him have it that way. You can see Kira trying to play safe and not let Shinn (who's now IN Seed Mode) overwhelm him up close by using both of the Strike Freedom's built-in beam shields to block the beam shots and struggling as a result as Shinn's going all-out while Kira, unsurprisingly enough, isn't as he's not trying to kill anyone (yet). In the end, we're looking at two very different MSs with different capabilities and two different pilots with very different fighting styles. Shin's a berserker while Kira's a passive mid-long-range pacifist. Destiny is generally an all-rounder but both of the heavy-hitting weapons the Destiny has have massive drawbacks to their power. The beam cannon takes time to fire and needs to be aimed and held by one of the Destiny's hands. Arondight for all its strength won't connect so well against very fast enemies if Shinn can't control his thoughts and emotions. The WoL drains far more power from the Destiny than its nuclear reactors can regenerate, and Shinn doesn't realize this and even when he does, it takes Rey ordering him to return to the Minerva to let his MS recharge and be resupplied as if he kept fighting with his MS losing power, he'd perish. The Strike Freedom, following Kira's specs is mostly geared to being able to gun down enemies from a safe distance while having enough mobility and thruster output to help Kira maintain a safe distance but retains two beam sabers if the MS needs to fight right up in the enemy's face. In the end, speed means nothing here for Shinn in Seed Destiny. He can abuse the WoL all he wants but if he fights too aggressively without thinking, all he's doing is draining more power from the Destiny than he needs to be doing. Arguably, while this would be Shinn's advantage against Kira for a Destiny vs. Strike Freedom match and be his best advantage in non-space battlegrounds, all Kira needs to do to win is survive and not let Shinn overwhelm him completely as all he has to do is stall the Destiny until the WoL drain enough power from the MS to render it unable to defend itself from the Strike Freedom. Kira would win the battle of attrition by fighting carefully and conserving the Strike Freedom's power supply. It's even worse when Shinn tries to fight the same way against Athrun who's far better in melee than Kira is.
I find it interesting that the writers were hell-bent at showing how much Cagalli had fallen compared to how badass she was during Gundam Seed. They made her piloting skill degenerate to the level that the only way she could survive through the battle was through piloting an almost invincible mobile suit that had the ability to reflect the shots back to the shooters. Even then, they made it clear that Kira had to bail her out when she fought Shinn. The writers made her headstrong, reckless, not very intelligent, doesn't think much ahead; everything against what she was in GS. The only character in Orb faction that was worse than her is Yuna and he's there just to irritate everyone.
So nice of the Archangel to allow the Minerva to retrieve Shinn for a resupply and re-launch him with Rey while they were in a dogfight. I guess the Minerva allowed Athrun’s launch so fair’s fair.
@@raphaelbuena7072yeah kill off Shinn. Have Orb be destroyed in Seed Freedom. Shinn literally saved Orb in the movie. Kira couldn't do shit alone in the movie and admitted that he needed both Athrun and Shinn
9:13 so this is what makes this BD different than standard Remastered In Standard Remastered, S Freedom just open his Wing and Rush with the Beam Saber without moving to back like this one Edit : 13:32 they still didnt fix this Shit huh? Imagine you are a Gundam with beam shield that can block both Physical and Beam attack, yet still caring the physical Shield that somehow can gone and respawn Take a look at Destiny's left arm, the shield is gone because it can limit the articulation for this pose so they remove it, and then 13:38 BAM, the shield is there
The destiny is a whole rabbit hole of, let's just build something that doesn't function how it's supposed to. Wackymodder84 made a good video on the destiny and how impossible it would be to function
8:47 Kira: Im back, and i lived you emo punk. And i got a bone to pick with your whining ass! Sis, go to ORB HQ and reform the battle line, Ms. Murrue, assist in taking in my wife who's riding my best bro's Gundam, while this punk is mine....... Cagalli: Gotcha fam! Akatsuki is out, peace!
I'm kinda glad that in Freedom, Destiny's sortie theme is a slight remixed version of Impulse Sortie. Back in Destiny series, its theme name and feel was symbolized in a darker way along with Legend. In Freedom however, it's as if the machine was reborn for a just purpose this time around.
Ikr ? Vestige fits Strike Freedom entrance more than METEOR. I tried to use the original audio for the HD Remaster but in some parts they're a bit late and won't fit at all.
@@dombagarut2188 Indeed, but Vestige adds that dramatic tone to the scene, while Meteor is more heroic. Also, Strike Freedom debut with Vestige is one of the best GUNDAM moments ever.
9:48 Even though it's like entirely made up of stock animations, this ship battle is pretty hype. 13:28 I never realized that Kira throws the beam rifles into the air and catches them after block Shinn's attack. I always thought he just put them away. He really is doing the most to style on Shinn. Side effect them making Vestige the opening apparently is that it's no longer used as an insert song anymore. Strike Freedom's flying into the atmosphere with the Vestige guitar riff was badass.
10:13 still the biggest what if Badriguel was alive in this series, how the battle with minerva would result if she's still the commander or rather captain of Archangel.
Kinda funny that Fukuda said himself that Shinn never lost the MC status in Destiny. He also said that Freedom was planned out all the way back during Destiny. So he probably planned for his redemption arc well into advance
Another episode that was downgraded because theres no Vestige BGM... The old one really gives me the chills especially when murue and talia shouted Fire... Like its the perfect track for bravery hehehehehe

3:00 The angel now healed of her wounds steps once more onto the field of battle. Not to avenge its damaged wing, but to protect the place she has hidden herself and in her recovery, come to call her home.
Once more she challenges the new angel, black of wing and drenched in the old angels blood. Once more the angels of earth and stars stand at odds to stand for their ideals.
Wow...
That was... that was beautiful man.
Thats...poetic
22:25 :- it was at this moment that ray and shin should’ve known that they will get messed up, since the og and legendary duo is back together!!!
Shinn thought he was a better pilot than athrun just because he defeated kira!
But always remember, athrun is the only guy who truly defeated kira when fighting him in a kill or get killed battle! Shinn on the other hand only defeated kira when kira didnt wanted to defeat him or kill him!
Yup kiranis in a defensive mode and in retreat and has no time for another duel
Am I dreaming? This anime is my teen era !!! I have both boy crush and girl crush towards Kira and Lacus ! Damn ! I'm fangirl for Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny era ~~
We are all screaming internally inside.
damn they really nerf Cagalli when she can actually fight in mobile suit. she even got seed mode in Gundam Seed
True! They did her dirty. Making her appear as weak and cry baby 😢
It's always funny to me how everyone is always outclassed by Kira and beam spam🤣.
Well not many suits were equipped with the multi-lock on system or had so many blasters come standard.
you look at shinn at final fight and he can barely aim. even if you give him freedom it's not going to work.
plus you look at games stats. his shooting ain't that high either compared to athrun and kira.
Ah yes. My childhood Anime. 😌
I don’t care who you are Lacus is a military genius. She got war factories, production overpowered gundams for two coordinators that are above the rest. I bet they more elsewhere
She a Accord
Lacus has the fortune of being Siegels daughter, majority of the people who follow her believed in his ideals and chose to work beside lacus.
8:03 Here we come who's make a comeback. Thank goodness Kira saves Cagalli right on time. And so farewell,Shinn as a main hero 😂😂😂.
12:03 the three trio DOM Troopers makes first appearance and said an iconic quotes from previous Gundam series "Jet stream attack!"
it is sad, that Shin only has the chance as MC for half a season, especially after Jesus Yamato made a comeback, Shing Figure devoured by Kira
That's the genius of Destiny. This is still Shinn's story. And the battle for Orb perfectly sums it up. For a LOT of reasons.
The series up to this point is Shinn experiencing tragedy and being guided into exactly the wrong lessons at every turn, whether it be by pride, or by an authority figure being JUST kind enough to make him like being told what to do by them, just enough that the other mentor figure in his life(Athrun) comes across as someone he learns quickly to hate. Up to this point, Shinn has loved and lost and blamed the Freedom(and not the people actually responsible), has faltered and blamed Athrun, and by consequence, blames the Archangel as well, and has been guided into hating Lacus too, and up to now, as far as he and the Minerva crew knows... they're all dead. So right now, they're riding high on a series of hard-won victories, especially Shinn, who has built his entire confidence and character on those victories, killing those he thinks are responsible for his loss, surpassing his mentor figure, all of it.
The battle for Orb? Especially in this episode? Takes apart every single one of those moments. So everything Shinn built himself on gets deconstructed with all the subtlety of a Big Zam. This episode is effectively the turning point for Shinn's character where he gets completely torn down to less than he was when he started by the end of the series, that moment when not only all of his victories are shown to be lies, but when he starts to slowly realize everything he'd established himself on, the ideals of Zaft, all of it? None of it was real. And he has to come to that realization while fighting a war over the very island where his family was killed as bystanders because of someone fighting a war in the air over it. It's a genius bit of storytelling that a lot of folks missed.
What's more is that the battle for Orb? EVERYONE lost. Orb and its allies in this fight start at a disadvantage and add on forces more and more, but they don't really... win. They start with the Akatsuki and Cagalli being useless as usual, they get the freedom, the doms, the justice, Mu and his fighter jet, and... it's still not enough to decisively turn the fight around in a big way, not in any short order anyway. At best, it falls to a stalemate until two of the three people Zaft was looking for end up dead almost entirely by accident, and the third one gets away. And that's the other thing.... Zaft doesn't win either. They came with the goal of getting Azrael, and they whiff it. He got away, Zaft loses a lot of naval assets, and retreats, and ultimately, everyone loses, Azrael gets his way and commits mass murder with a moon laser, and Athrun probably gave himself more brain damage again. The Minerva crew have to contend with having gone toe to toe with an older ship that theirs is based off of and being at a dead stalemate, and just afterwards, the Zaft people have to contend with coming to terms with having been lied to about who Meer is when Lacus gets on the broadcast and reveals herself. The fight for Orb is full of a hell of a lot of ups and downs and moments and such, but ultimately, it ends on a wet blanket, and to draw it back to the main point, the battle for Orb ends with Shinn realizing that everything he's been praised for is wrong, his promotion is a lie, and that he still feels like he has to prove himself, so much so that when he DOES finally take out the space-racist, it's... not enough, and he's still a broken kid. So when the final scene plays, when Shinn's run out of things to do, when his suit is in pieces on the lunar surface and he's watching everything his idolized teacher strived for burn in the distance, and he doesn't have any work he can put himself to in order to put it out of his head, and he absolutely breaks? It's believable.
Kira is simply a force of nature in Shinn's world, and is in essence his antagonist right up to the post-battle scene. This is Shinn's series, and it's about adversity and how that adversity can be used against us to build us into something we'd rather not be. How being torn down hurts, and how rebuilding on bad foundations can hurt worse.
@@TacComControl Very detailed analysis
Black Tri-Stars call back gotta love it.
22:07 My favorite H&MC song. Also the return of justice!
Same! Always hyped with this outro 😎
Glad they didn't retain the other version of this outro too
Red knight return to the war !!
Arthur ready to kick soul out of their body😂
That technique where Kira threw the gun to shield Shinn's attack and destroy his excalibur was so smart and skillful
Yeah I'd be more proud on that if he do it without using his seed mode
@@yuzahira6551 nobody else would have even thot of doing it even with their seed mode 😏 Kira's accuracy & agility alone without SM is already a feat nobody else in the series could compare
@@xiandiv9549 i mean after that Shinn use his seed mode too and clearly Kira is in disadvantage after that it's like his seed mode is weaker than Shinn sometimes I want to see Kira facing Shinn seed mode without him using it first like Athrun, he destroy Shinn Excalibur without entering seed mode while Shinn is in seed mode
@@yuzahira6551 what?? In what part did you think Kira was at a disadvantage? Lol. Piloting skills Kira is better, machine capabilities freedom is better. Seed mode perhaps Shinn might be at the same level of awareness is the same as kira and athrun, however athrun won because of machine feature difference. In space battle they were all not in Seed mode but Kira and Athrun was clearly better in fighting than shinn, shinn was getting owned. In seed mode he clearly wasnt athrun's equal, whom which is prolly the only pilot who can rival Kira
You think Shinn is better?
The music in GSD is unmatched. It fits the scenes so well

Best episode Kira Return 🔥
The intro of Freedom and Justice gave me goosebumps. The battle of minerva and archangel. Athrun's return in the last part.
Oh how I missed Battleship fight in Gundam series. Its literally the best scene next to gundam fight scene. Gundam Seed will forever be the best gundam series.
It was clear that Kira is better than Shinn and he could have kill him anytime. Shinn took this as an insult.
My most favorite episode of all! So many iconic scenes in one ep. ❤
Perfect time to promote some figurines, collectibles at the end lol.
Nice Kira's entrance, comeback for Mu.
Love to see murderous confused kid get schooled, and humbled again..
Manipulation vs Motivation
Strike Freedom's entry is cool, but the Dom's dropping in to say hi is great as well.
*Strike Freedom exists*
Shinn: Why I am hearing the boss music?!
That’s because the only winner is back! Baby!
"Why am I hearing Heine singing even tho he's dead?"
Entrance of SF and IJ with "Meteor' is much better than Vestige.
Also, the battle between both vessels Archangel and Minerva as always awesome.
THE GOATTTTTT GUNDAM SERIES
After watching this several times. I only realized how the half-crewed Archangel held their own against the fully-crewed Minerva
Watching it again , gives me a goosebump
If you look closely at 13:28, Kira throws the beam rifles in the air and 13:40 catches them.
Forget the Freedom. The DOM trio's entrance is peak badassery.
Watching again here...still and always Cagalli is my favorite character..😮😊
Samee! ❤
Same!!
Same ☺️ just wish Destiny did her better
I didn't realize this before. But Shinn and Rey are essentially in that category of "One Man Army" like how Gundam 00 S2 did with certain pilots. Allowing them to call the shots instead of the commander of the ship.
Being members of FAITH meant having the power to make such decisions after all, their only superior at that point was Durandal
not really . they just can do whtever they want as a member of FAITH . basically FAITH member is higher position than the commander of the ship just like athrun before
Thank you for uploading this series again 👍🏻
Surely, I dislike the SF so much (but the X10A Freedom is my favourite Gundam in SEED), but I very much like its beam rifles, which can be combined into a longer one. Wished Kira used it more often and in other ways instead of being used as a stock footage of it being blocked by Shinn/Destiny's beam shield. Kira can use it like a sniper rifle for example or mimic how Dearka uses his Buster's combining cannons.
0:13:27 that is my fav part in this whole series, if you notice Kira is like a pro gamer vs an annoying kid in online gaming
Shinn is like trash talking, but Kira is a quiet kid,
but what makes me love about it, is the reason why Kira has to throw both his beam rifle, if he stores it in the side skirt armour, the whole railgun is moved back and can't fire, so he is going to be in the position where he needs to use that red beam on the abdomen
which probably going to kill Shinn
as you know, Jesus Yamato has become batman, and has no killing rules ~
so in a split second, he decided to throw them in the air, catch the sword with his hands+ beam shield
and catch both of them in mid-air , striking a pose, and Shinn taught he is taunting him ~ XD
Kira is also known to split beam laser with his beam saber, a Jedi-like move~
But in the very end of the game Shinn finally shake his hand and say
GGWP
@@gojihead3195 true, he respect the goat.
Is it possible to learn this power...?
Thus in seed freedom when kira obtained the revamped S.F (S.F type 2) the dual beam rifle is attached on the side of the railgun
@@tysongamingchannel and the railguns dont swivel anymore.

When young fan watch OO before Seed Destiny: Is that Dom performs Trans-am?
Nope, that’s a Pain Train chugging forward...and it has NO. BRAKES.
If I'm not mistaken Jet Stream Attack was taken from the Universal Century Timeline. It's most likely the same as the Dom of that timeline. It is not performing trans-am. The particles emitted might be Volte Lumiere particles originated from stargazer gundam.. I think freedom has it too. It acts as barrier for the Dom so they can do a linear barrage against superior enemy numbers.

SHINN : FREEDOM? HOW?
KIRA : MY COCKPIT IS ON THE CHEST FOOL
Hahahaha
Cagalli's soothing voice 😌
'Get away from her, you bastard!' should've been Kira's line at that moment.
_THAT'S. MY. _*_SISTER!_*
Freedom must come with Justice which is the rhythm of Seed ❤
The fact that Shinn in his Destiny STILL causes Kira problems in his Strike Freedom is scary and awesome at the same time.
Yeah people don't realize that the sword grab isn't really that impressive since Seed mode was involved against an unseed Shinn. People also don't look at the fact that the Destiny already lost half of it's weapons at this point. With just a beam rifle, Shinn manage to push back Kira and make him run away for a bit until Shinn retreated
@@desuwa1994 It's not really impressive that Shinn managed to give Kira some issues in combat so it's heavily downplayed once Shinn got the Destiny and Kira had the Strike Freedom. Destiny potentially has higher mobility and thruster output meaning it can move around much faster and it fits Shinn's berserker style plus the WoL can be freely activated if they aren't damaged. The Strike Freedom can only hit that kind of speed with its DRAGOONs deployed and that only happens in space and Kira in general despite being able to match but not quite exceed Athrun in close-quarter combat, can still be a monster using beam sabers if he has to. Even before Shinn was out to kill Kira when they used the Impulse and Freedom respectively, Shinn still surprised Kira a few times. Notably when they first fought each other (before Kira tried to talk reason to Athrun) when the Freedom tried to slash the Blast Impulse's chest and head, and the Impulse avoided it by spinning around in time causing Kira to miss and leaving him briefly stunned that he actually failed to take out the enemy MS after which Kira disengaged from fighting Shinn. As for the Destiny vs. Strike Freedom in Orb, Kira didn't run away, if anything Kira stayed on the battlefield but wasn't given much freedom (no joke intended) to use the Strike Freedom's high speed to stay at a safe distance because Shinn wasn't letting him have it that way. You can see Kira trying to play safe and not let Shinn (who's now IN Seed Mode) overwhelm him up close by using both of the Strike Freedom's built-in beam shields to block the beam shots and struggling as a result as Shinn's going all-out while Kira, unsurprisingly enough, isn't as he's not trying to kill anyone (yet).
In the end, we're looking at two very different MSs with different capabilities and two different pilots with very different fighting styles. Shin's a berserker while Kira's a passive mid-long-range pacifist. Destiny is generally an all-rounder but both of the heavy-hitting weapons the Destiny has have massive drawbacks to their power. The beam cannon takes time to fire and needs to be aimed and held by one of the Destiny's hands. Arondight for all its strength won't connect so well against very fast enemies if Shinn can't control his thoughts and emotions. The WoL drains far more power from the Destiny than its nuclear reactors can regenerate, and Shinn doesn't realize this and even when he does, it takes Rey ordering him to return to the Minerva to let his MS recharge and be resupplied as if he kept fighting with his MS losing power, he'd perish. The Strike Freedom, following Kira's specs is mostly geared to being able to gun down enemies from a safe distance while having enough mobility and thruster output to help Kira maintain a safe distance but retains two beam sabers if the MS needs to fight right up in the enemy's face. In the end, speed means nothing here for Shinn in Seed Destiny. He can abuse the WoL all he wants but if he fights too aggressively without thinking, all he's doing is draining more power from the Destiny than he needs to be doing. Arguably, while this would be Shinn's advantage against Kira for a Destiny vs. Strike Freedom match and be his best advantage in non-space battlegrounds, all Kira needs to do to win is survive and not let Shinn overwhelm him completely as all he has to do is stall the Destiny until the WoL drain enough power from the MS to render it unable to defend itself from the Strike Freedom. Kira would win the battle of attrition by fighting carefully and conserving the Strike Freedom's power supply. It's even worse when Shinn tries to fight the same way against Athrun who's far better in melee than Kira is.
I find it interesting that the writers were hell-bent at showing how much Cagalli had fallen compared to how badass she was during Gundam Seed. They made her piloting skill degenerate to the level that the only way she could survive through the battle was through piloting an almost invincible mobile suit that had the ability to reflect the shots back to the shooters. Even then, they made it clear that Kira had to bail her out when she fought Shinn. The writers made her headstrong, reckless, not very intelligent, doesn't think much ahead; everything against what she was in GS. The only character in Orb faction that was worse than her is Yuna and he's there just to irritate everyone.
Bcs SEED and SD's are different writers(sigh
Fukuda sucks!!!
Always loved seeing Shinn's behind getting kicked! :)
全片最熱血一幕10：15
兩台主要作戰艦 大天使吧 和 智慧女神號 的 火力指揮官 同時喊出 發射 熱血爆了！
Came here just to see Athrun Zala's decision at 22:05
Tks Ai Japanese and tks IT and Gundam seed destiny with me 10 old my storys in My life
I really love Athrun man. Man I hope he get his own season as a sole protagonist.
Gundam seed justice?
@kiraofthesky5561 on sunrise we trust 🙏
So nice of the Archangel to allow the Minerva to retrieve Shinn for a resupply and re-launch him with Rey while they were in a dogfight. I guess the Minerva allowed Athrun’s launch so fair’s fair.
they should be grateful that kira let them live until episode 50 at all hahahahah
@@raphaelbuena7072yeah kill off Shinn. Have Orb be destroyed in Seed Freedom. Shinn literally saved Orb in the movie. Kira couldn't do shit alone in the movie and admitted that he needed both Athrun and Shinn
Still gives me goosebumps
9:13 so this is what makes this BD different than standard Remastered
In Standard Remastered, S Freedom just open his Wing and Rush with the Beam Saber without moving to back like this one
Edit : 13:32 they still didnt fix this Shit huh? Imagine you are a Gundam with beam shield that can block both Physical and Beam attack, yet still caring the physical Shield that somehow can gone and respawn
Take a look at Destiny's left arm, the shield is gone because it can limit the articulation for this pose so they remove it, and then 13:38 BAM, the shield is there
The destiny is a whole rabbit hole of, let's just build something that doesn't function how it's supposed to. Wackymodder84 made a good video on the destiny and how impossible it would be to function
8:47
Kira: Im back, and i lived you emo punk. And i got a bone to pick with your whining ass! Sis, go to ORB HQ and reform the battle line, Ms. Murrue, assist in taking in my wife who's riding my best bro's Gundam, while this punk is mine.......
Cagalli: Gotcha fam! Akatsuki is out, peace!
好久沒看了！🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉真是精彩啊！
I'm kinda glad that in Freedom, Destiny's sortie theme is a slight remixed version of Impulse Sortie. Back in Destiny series, its theme name and feel was symbolized in a darker way along with Legend. In Freedom however, it's as if the machine was reborn for a just purpose this time around.
strike freedom gundam favorit nomor 1
The only sad thing about this ep is that they played some other song when S freedom came instead of vestige. They used vestige in the original ep
Was it? But Meteor is Kira's theme so why not
Ikr ? Vestige fits Strike Freedom entrance more than METEOR.
I tried to use the original audio for the HD Remaster but in some parts they're a bit late and won't fit at all.
@@dombagarut2188 Indeed, but Vestige adds that dramatic tone to the scene, while Meteor is more heroic. Also, Strike Freedom debut with Vestige is one of the best GUNDAM moments ever.
I dunno, SF/IJ descending like a *_METEOR_* sounds like someone was aware of the pun.
"And so in the 3rd day, jesus kira descend again to the earth"
Shin should be on a top ten list of puppets in anime being manipulated by Rey and Durandal like that.
AN OBJECT IS APPROACHING FROM SPACE
Shinn : what's that?
Kira : the goat coming to teach you in hard way
"so it didn't sink after all"
Sorry Talia, you're 2 years too early for that
19:36 這集真是滿滿的回憶與感動🥲
9:48 Even though it's like entirely made up of stock animations, this ship battle is pretty hype.
13:28 I never realized that Kira throws the beam rifles into the air and catches them after block Shinn's attack. I always thought he just put them away. He really is doing the most to style on Shinn.
Side effect them making Vestige the opening apparently is that it's no longer used as an insert song anymore. Strike Freedom's flying into the atmosphere with the Vestige guitar riff was badass.
ya me too i thought that kira put them away, but not stored on the hips like he arrived
The JUSTICE IS BACK
Who’s here after the Freedom movie?
I didn't like the design they made in the movie. It was like I was watching Gundam 00. Tbh, I was so disappointed.
Sure enough, Aslan is the most powerful, freedom and destiny are tied, justice is kicking destiny
One of the best episodes in the whole series
8:52 It was at this moment, Shinn realized, he f***ed up.
10:13 still the biggest what if Badriguel was alive in this series, how the battle with minerva would result if she's still the commander or rather captain of Archangel.
destiny裡最喜歡這首ed 歌詞很符合アスカガ 😭😭
On this moment shinn realized that he is not the protagonist
Kinda funny that Fukuda said himself that Shinn never lost the MC status in Destiny. He also said that Freedom was planned out all the way back during Destiny. So he probably planned for his redemption arc well into advance
Another episode that was downgraded because theres no Vestige BGM...
The old one really gives me the chills especially when murue and talia shouted Fire... Like its the perfect track for bravery hehehehehe
With Vestige as OP, they probably had to pick the more approriate Meteor.
Jet Stream attack gotta be the hypest moment
Kira Yamato comes back ! 😊
Came here cause of Mars and Herbert from Freedom, RIP 2/3rd of the Glorious Harken Team!
