Agreed Terra, there is still alot of episodes to go.
I think Kira and Shinn are gonna take each other out. (Then they get new mobile suits)
I thought Sting was gonna be captured and converted ala Dearka but I guess I was wrong about that.

Speaking of Dearka I'm really looking foward to seeing him and Yzak again. Doesn't matter if they don't have fancy new Gundams they'll kiss ass with the Zakus too. With the death of so many characters it would be nice to see the both of them again, soon.

Very Very Very satisfying episode.
OK, so many of our predictions were way off the charts, like Impulse and Freedom geting scrapped this episode to get their new mobile suits but what the hell, Freedom is still the coolest Gundam I ever saw and Impulse, my only grudge is the pilot. Otherwise, ALL OF ITS PACKS are cool.
About the death of Sting and Chaos, my only reactions was ...................
HURRAY FOR ORB MURSAME PILOTS!!!!
OK, so there were three Murasames to one Chaos but even then, I though the Murasame did very very very well considering Chaos ripped through every mobile suit thrown at it in the first few episodes. Yet the team work of the Murasame pilots shows it not just the Gundam, or even the pilot, that wins the battle. In the words of Hatake Kakashi from Naruto, its all about teamwork. And it overcame a bloody arrogant character who deserved to die.
Oh, and I'm so glad my prediction that the Murasame pilots would die was also off. Thank god. I'm sure the Murasames will come in handy in future battles.
Battle between Freedom and Destroy. Pretty much as I expected. I honestly can't see even Freedom putting a dent on Destroy. Kira actually should have died if it were not for his SEED factor and outstanding piloting skills.
That is why Shinn waltzing in and slashing Destroy in one pass is just ridiculous. I mean, sure, we all want Shinn to see Stellar in the cockpit, but making Shin do something that even Freedom couldn't do, and in such a simplistic way too : like I said, just one pass dodging a few strikes here and there, is just anti climatic.
But the interplay between Stellar and Shinn was good. For a moment, I thought we might actually see Stellar come out of her panic battle mode. But this being Gundam Seed Destiny, happy endings are hard to come by and they decide to add fuel to the fire by making Kira come into view.
Note: I am a Kira supporter. I support his stance of non-killing and path to peace for all, not just his friends, but for his enemies as well.
Sigh, I guess Kira's and Shinn's duel is still destined to happen. Knowing Shinn, he is going to need an outlet for revenge, and it won't stop at just the Earth Alliance. Because Kira is there, he will simply blame him and go after him. That's just Shinn's thinking.
Actually we don't know what Stellar died from. Destroy didn't really blow up completely and her cockpit wasn't blown up as well. So what did she die from?
Well, regardless, if she dies, then the last hope for redemption for Shinn is gone. I don't see Rakusu Klein anywhere ready to set him on the right path. That probably means a duel to the death with Freedom.
And Asuran will just sit on his haunches doing nothing. That guy better get his priority straight. Either he stays at Minerva and try to influence Shinn or get his ass back on the Archangel. I'm sure he can pilot a Murasame just fine. (Oh I know that won't happen, he's supposed to receive another Gundam soon I heard). At least his fiancee finally did something useful like protecting the city. FINALLY, CAGALLI DOES SOMETHING WITH STRIKE ROUGE OTHER THAN CRYING!!!!!!! I am so happy. Even if its just a simply blocking enemy fire for civilians, its good enough.
Neo having Mwu's face, well, that's more or less expected. Its different from the opening though where we see Neo and Maryuu face off each other with a gun.
Overall, a nice episode, heavy with action, drama and fortunately, Freedom and Impulse not getting scrapped yet.
To Shinn lovers...... sorry, i don't know what else is going to set that boy right now that Stellar seems to be dead.
hey , why are we all forgetting that in the end , kira destroyed destroy no matter what happened before that. Therefore screw whatever happened before that, Kira was the victor at the end. Besides Kira was constantly being blocked by neo who seemed to be a bigger problem than stellar in the destroy. If it was just destroy and freedom, kira wud take it out no problem. Yeah and Sting was super pathetic. Some EXTENDED he turned out to be. Maybe this shows how much Athrun sucks too because he cudn take out sting in any of his fights
**SPOILER**
Oh and by the way, i think Athrun will get back on the Archangel, becoz one of the episodes after this is named Athrun's Desertion
Destiny has been bothering me for a while now. Being the first true sequel to a Gundam series that I've seen so far, I was skeptical yet excited about Kira's return. 60% of the series has already been released, and there are so many loose ends that need to be tied up, created in the confusion known as "the first 25 episodes". I will save those questions for another forum discussion, back to my main concern.
In Destiny, Kira and his crew are portrayed as a misplaced bothersome force (like in SEED, but not quite the same feeling, you know what I mean, right?) He's already struck twice killing Shinn's family and love (Stellar). As the new main character, Shinn is too angsty for my blood >_<. He is definitely a love-hate character, and his skills are on par with Kira's (if not better). Assuming everyone has seen SEED before Destiny, am I the only one who is annoyed with the way Kira is portrayed? Why do I get the feeling Kira might die in this series? I'd hate myself for ever watching Destiny at that moment should my dear Kira perish to this super-angsty Shinn (btw I cheered when Athrun slapped him for the first time....and then again!).
I finally came to the conclusion that this is how (the writers) want Kira to atone for his sins from SEED. What are your opinions on how Destiny is carrying along? Please respond! Thank you!
*Also kudos to Kira for ending Stellar! I've been waiting for this moment ever since she killed Heine and his "Epyon" in a much short-lived and short-changed episode*
/salute Heine!
I miss you and wish you lasted much longer than that ; ;
How is this a more true sequel than Z Gundam or ZZ Gundam was? Or Endless Waltz for that reason? (if you count OAVs/movies).Originally posted by: Raquelcasull

There seems to be a debate on who killed Shinn's family, while it never acctually shows it, there is around an 80-90% chance it was Kira. Calamity was the only MS in the area and was firing at an elevated angle (into the air). The blast to killed Shinn's family was not aimed into the air. In the first couple of episodes it showed that it was Freedom fighting Calamity.
Also I want to repeat something from my first comments on the episode; WHY COULDN'T KIRA BE A FEW SECONDS SLOWER!!!!!! If he had waited just a few seconds then Stellar would have put Shinn out of ALL of our miseries.
Ahh at last the pshyco bitch is dead, I've been waiting for that a long time now, but I feel i little bit sorry fo shinn thouh even though the fact that I hate him...
I mean that kid has serious problems, well I to would've if my near ones died in front of my eyes like that.
But he's really immature and hates everything bah. Well enough about that little bastard.
Great episode was the thing I was planning to say, as always gundam seed destiny comes with another great episode.
Ok so I've heard that shinn is going to read every info on freedom with the help of Rey. and They are going to find a way to take freedom down.
I hope when the time comes when it's going to be impulse vs freedom, Kira will kick Shinns pathetic arse and chop it into pieces, grill it and sell it at the local café.
Clumsy of me to miss it indeed, but reading through the rest of the post it looked like this guy (girl?) took the liberty of talking about the Gundam series in such a way that it looked like he/she knew more than he/she did. It was not a strange mistake to make.Originally posted by: Curium

Also, I hate the following: "Go back to the original post and read THE REST OF THE SENTANCE."
Don't ever fucking write that again. I have been here for 2 years longer than you and missing a few damn letters in that time is not bad. So don't you dare try to make me look like some douche that can't read. That approach of yours is so entirely uncalled for.
I posting this here because we had been discussing who acctually killed Shinn's family. I don't have the episode of SEED where they were fighting outside Orb available to watch right now, but I found some SD Gundam SEED thing (it is in the FTP that was posted by Danholo Here) that was a remake of that scene. While I don't take it as cannon or anything, it did remind me of another possibility. I had completely forgotten about Forbidden. Instead of bad aim on Kira's part, it seems more likely to me now that Kira blasted Forbidden, but Forbidden deflected the blasts and one hit Shinn's family. Just really random bad luck.
Actually, we don't know if it was Kira who misfired and killed Shinn's family. I've watched that episode and there's nothing to prove the shot came from Kira. In any case, Shinn doesn't blame Kira for his family's death, he blames Cagalli and ORB for failing to protect his family.Originally posted by: Raquelcasull

Yeah, Kira dying in destiny is a recurring nightmare for me as well. I actually can't believe there are Kira haters in the first place. To me, Kira represents one of the ultimate positive side of humanity, Coordinator my ass. As rakusu said, his kindness doesn't come from being a Coordinator. I pray that he doesn't die as well. He doesn't deserve to. He is not a mass murderer and if you really think about it, the last person he personally killed was Rau Le Crueze.
Kira did not kill Stellar. In fact, I'm not sure what Stellar died of in the first place. Even the sharpnel sticking to her body wasn't to her torso area, it was her arms that had sharpnel stuck at it. I really wish Stellar had lived though, to provide a window of redemption for that wretched boy Shinn Asuka. As of now, I don't know if there's anyone capable of getting that dickhead Shinn out of his fit of anger and arrogance. I don't think Asuran is up to the task frankly, since its unlikely Shinn will ever respect him again after being defeated so badly by Kira.
Join me in prayers. PLEASE DON'T LET KIRA DIE?!?!?!?!
Oh, and please let there be a chance for Shinn so that people can actually start to like him.
; ; I hate you! XDOriginally posted by: darkshadow
DIE KIRA!!! XD
well kira dying wud definitely ruin the series. It wud be better to have kept him out of the series all together then to bring him in and make him die. However, looking at the way shinn's character is developing, it seems quite likely that he will probably die in the end too. As for a character like Rey, i hope he dusn turn out to be like Rau( i.e making so much sense all the time but in the end just turning into a psycho.)
Maybe there is still quite some chance for Shinn Redemption but i dont think its gonna be happening any time soon. Maybe Lunamaria will have something to do with it, who knows. I definitely want to know what Neo is going to do from now on. I believe its about time they starting filling the viewers in with whats up with Rey, Neo and Dullindal. Leaving everything to be explained in a rush in the last few episodes like seeds will just ruin the series
Personally i am glad Stellar is dead. The fact that she was a drugged out extended means they cudn possibly have developed her character anymore. I guess thats why she needed to be taken out of the picture. I mean what cud u do with a character like Stellar. It also made sense to bring an end to destroy. Personally, i do not like the idea of huge Gundams that just stand there and shoot and blast. I dont think the destroy took even more than five or six steps from the moment it was deployed to the end
