Yeah, I was quite surprised at that, but wasn't particularly moved. I do agree however that it was good for Kira and the plot itself to boot.
The fact that he survived was in itself lame (I have never bought the whole "you can survive explosions" gig) but the result was pleasant.
I still haven't fully grasped the concept of Mwu being back, no matter how much I try it's hard to imagine that it's Mwu. Not only because the fact that he survived was ULTRA LAME, but also because... well... he isn't Mwu anymore, except for the sarcastic remarks which seems to have been left intact after the brain washing for some reason.
Anyway, I take the whole explosion thing in the following way: Since such explosions are patently impossible, I just pretend they dont actually happen. I mean really, are these mobile suits packed with high explosives JUST so that they can explode when they take a hit? Whats in them to explode? They aren't carrying around amunition for the most part, and their power is battery based. I know I cant make a battery explode, especialy not by hitting it.
Therefore, explosions cant kill people in SEED, because they are imaginary. Or something to that effect [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Mwu died for a cause, and his survival cheapens that sacrifice. Then again, he's Mwu so his survival isn't all bad. Great scene where he dies (and I maintain he DID die, whatever his survival means) btw.
And I'm glad he doens't have his memories, I hope he doesn't regain them.
