Also, only reason he lost to Kira is because he was the main character.

YZAK POWAHHH

woo you just made me realize how uber Yzak is ahahah

Most likely, Zakus are the better choice of Mobile Suits. We know Zakus are high performance... their speed and maneuverability are comparable to Chaos/Gaia/Abys. They are certainly faster than Buster was, and possibly faster than Duel.

Their lack of Phase Shift armor doesn't mean as much as it used to, as Beam weapons are now the standard. And since Phase Shift doesn't help against beam weapons, its not so much an advantage as it used to be.

Zaku's are also armed well enough to be better/as good as duel and buster. Yzaks Zaku, especially suits him. It has a powerful ranged weapon system that allows both of his hands free for melee combat, which he seems to prefer. While Dearka lost some of his cool abilities (busters scatter type weapons), he's picked up a little versatility (beam rifle), protection (shoulder shield), and speed. Not to mention a main weapon which prolly has better one shot damage than the Buster could put out.

Add all that to the psychological advantage of having your aces flying your new signature suit, and well, its not hard to see why Duel is gathering dust somewhere. Maybe we will see it again though.

^^ I guess from a technological standpoint that makes sense.

I was thinking more along the lines of political terms. Certainly they could of repaired Buster and Duel, but with the ending of the War, keeping captured units commissioned would be inappropriate. If anything, those units were probably returned to the EAF

either that or like in Gundam Wing they were launched into the sun to be destroyed.
