I honestly think after watching seed and destiny consecutively over the winter that in a manga-esque perspective, if we treat *Athrun* as the main character instead of Kira, things make a lot more sense Destiny was much more focused around Athrun witnessing both sides of ZAFT and Terminal and rekindling his true meaning of justice through his interactions with shinn&gang, Durandal, kira&friends, and cagalli. He saw his own friends hurt his comrades (take heine for example) and he really went through somewhat of an arc questioning his own beloved friends about their rationale and then later choosing between them and the scheming Durandal. In the end, sinking the formidable Destiny Gundam, Durandal’s pawn, only consolidated Athrun’s understanding of true justice in the end as truly infinite.
@@WildArmACFIok was a cheap comic relief character the writers failed at making a proper antagonist, even though he engaged in underhanded dealings, Iok still had heroic traits because of the fact he was willing to lay his life down for his subordinates.
IBOS2 👎 Killed the main protagonist The main protagonist team didn't win and all their members were murdered brutally by the government soldier 💀 *referring to the final episode the gunpla also sucks!!! the joint are very loose overtime!!! not gonna buy any IBO kits if bundai hasn't fix the issue yet ☹️
It's fair that Athrun won - the Infinite Justice might not have the same capabilities in terms of mobility due to it lacking Voiture Lumiere and Mirage Colloid - Athrun is most likely the most powerful pilot in all of CE - Shura in GSF states this - and compounded with the fact that he is a soldier trained to use Mobile Suits and has more experience using them compared to Shinn, already being the veteran of one war.
To be fair the point of Shinn losing against Athrun was that Athrun was able to choose His own justice in comparison to shinn, who Is with Durandal because he's scared of losing another Loved one and not because he thinks the Destiny plan Is a good thing (this Is from seed Destiny's special booklet 4)

If GSD was like mid-to-late 2000s WWE: Kira: John Cena Athrun: Triple H Shinn: CM Punk/Randy Orton Though to be fair, Fukuda/Morosawa/Sunrise may have let the character polls dictate the show’s direction. Shinn was popular on his own right, but not as popular as Athrun or especially Kira, who ruled the NewType and Gundam Ace Character Polls at the time.
Randy is Cena's Athrun based on timeline shenanigans (pretty much started the same time in OVW) and yaoiness (Randy onced fired a threatening line but sounded so gay even he realized it after he said it).
I also have thought that the results could have been determined by the fans/community due to the sudden protagonist switch and Shinn suddenly become weaker, but I never realised it was true.
@@targetseekerYou must have missed Triple H’s Reign of Terror from 2002-2005, where he had a near-death grip on the World Heavyweight Championship, and rarely loses cleanly.
@@JimHawkwind03411 yeah but HHH is obviously a villain and not a confused alignment guy. That HHH is probably Rustal Elion in terms of invincible villain (cue HHHelion taking his sweet time to pin Booker Tekkadan).
Character polling may played a roll but there is also rumors of personal drama. Morosawa had cancerous brain tumors while suffering from her disease she became concerned about possibility of Fukada having an affair with Cagali voice actress hence why the story shits on Cagali. At one point Shinns voice actor stood up for her so that's why he is shafted at midway point.
I watched a video of What If Kira dies after Shinn stabbed Freedom. It honestly a pretty good What If video like after Shinn kills Athrun in the Gouf, Shinn realizes his mistakes and how one sided is his Justice is. Shinn piloted the Infinite Justice while Lunamaria pilots the Strike Freedom. Its honestly a pretty good video and i recommend everyone to watch it But hey atleast Gundam SEED Freedom did Shinn alot of justice to the point everyone in Japan almost forgot about Kira and Mighty Strike Freedom (according to the popularity poll)
To be fair to Shinn, he wasn’t quite in the right state of mind during his final duel with Athrun. Also, I think that the Athrun-Shinn relationship is still strained (though not to hostile levels at the end of Destiny) during the events of Freedom.
I like athrun, so I like athrun beating shinn badly. Though admitedly the edge manga does give shinn some highlights by taking an arm from athrun. but he used it as a distraction to go to requiem. then steals destiny's sword and just throws it down requiem before beating shinn with the kick.
If it was Tomino, he would have sexual scenes and children running around. SEED was revolutionary for its NTR popularization. I am curious if Tomino isn’t hammered by Japan’s censorship, then would he go to put sex scenes?
after losing to Athrun's Infinite Justice Shin pilot the Immortal Justice in the seed freedom movie 😅 then it got demolished by the enemy mobile suits in the first half of the movie 😂
how Athrun is so f*king stronk!? bcs he always think of his girlfriend Cagali every single moment 😏 that why he always win 😌 he powered his Justice with nked Cagali's in his mind 😂
"What's up ?bro?"
*proceed to kick shinn"s soul out of his body*
Overpowered move.
Athrun shakes hands with Kira.
Shinn: [Autistic Screeching]
Fukuda: I love my children very much.
- What about Shi-
Fukuda: I love MY CHILDREN very much.
Now that I’ve seen the movie I can safely say Fukuda loves Shinn very much. I think.

Let’s not forget that Athrun never lost a fight in SEED Mode, though the first time, the Strike vs. Aegis duel ended in a draw.
Okay i know this is off topic. But looking at the seed characters...THEIR EYELASHES ARE LONG!
Shin is the protag i feel sorry for the worst in gundam.. Because his own writers were aginst him. Dude never had a chance.
And now he's just a lovely puppy 🐶
Shin got screwed over by internal office politics over Cagali's VA beef with the director's wife(who was also a lead writer)
To be fair the point of Shinn losing against Athrun was that Athrun was able to choose His own justice in comparison to shinn, who Is with Durandal because he's scared of losing another Loved one and not because he thinks the Destiny plan Is a good thing (this Is from seed Destiny's special booklet 4)

Athrun the giga Chad
Seed destiny is better than The last of us 2(Kira getting golfed by Shinn)
Personally, i would rather Shinn beat Kira and Athrun beat Shinn (Kira exhausted after fighting Rey, and Shinn exhausted fighting Kira)
i was left seething
Skill wise it wouldn't make sense so it's worse writing and an insult to best Boi athrun. Thank God this version didn't happened.
Totally
This is why Gundam Seed Destiny suck and sus to us XD
Look Destiny sucks but you aren't cooking ngl.
