Ok, it seems ur fandom for Kira has surpassed reality and u need to rewatch Gundam Seed. After Ahtrun and Kira go seed mode one on another Athrun manages to grab Strike, too bad he didn't have power and do self-destruct and well I can't see how he survived inside Strike when Athrun got so messed up when he was running.

And maybe you wanna watch after Athrun get together with Kira and they go to space to stop war with Eternal, AA and others. Well, in most of the battles on space I just saw Athrun doing most of the job (he was the one fighting the drugies more than Kira), Kira almost getting owned some parts, Athrun saving Kira... Well, I don't see your argument working.

Your point can be the episode Freedom owns Saviour, but as you can see it was Seed mode x non-Seed mode, this gives one hell of advantage. And I think that was purely fandom, giving Kira lovers some lolipops for em to feel happy "Oh yeah our Kira kicked Athrun's ass! Woopie! Ill buy another Freedom toy!"

No, I am no Athrun fan. I just realized that in Seed Athrun is as good of a pilot as Kira. They just give more screen time to the main character and his gundam, which was Kira. And no, I don't think Kira is the main character of GSD.
