I don't see how being genetically modified for combat (which he isn't, he just has the best possible combination of modifications in order to enable him to accel in any area), and being "normal" is in any way a valid argument to hate Kira. Shinn just randomly acts without thinking anything through then once he knows it was a mistake or feels regret for his action he thinks saying "sorry", bottling up guilt, crying about it will turn everything back to normal. Not to mention he's one hypocritical mofo...(yes, yes, so is Kira, but to a lesser extent). Anyway... Asuran, he's the best character...well, personality wise. Intelligent, careful, friendly, but sometimes acts on impulses and emotions as well (like all the times he's bitchslapped and punched Shinn), overall I think he takes the best of Shinn and the best of Kira and meshes them together. The directors have seriously underpowered them though, I mean... comeon, indecisiveness is one thing, but he's almost as weak as he was at the beggining of GSeeD.

Most of you Shinn haters out there are just on Kira's ass because hes got the ultimate coordinator name above his and thinks hes gonna own Shinn
No, it's not a THOUGHT, it should be a FACT, that is, if the directors stay true to the story and how they developed Kira. Unless, that is, near the end we find out that Shinn was the second Ultimate coordinator and omfg he was teh adopted, and now the two ultimate coordinators are going to duke it out, destroy both their Gundams, but somehow survive.

Also, @ people who think Kira should of died when Shin destroyed Freedom... I think Shinn should be pretty god damn happy he didn't succeed. Why? Because if he did ---> No Nuclear shutdown ---> Major kaboomage ---> Shin disentigrated by explosion.
