@ Kusa-san

So going by your reasoning, it means all merchandise showing Kira, Athrun, Shinn + random characters (without obligatory canon poses with whoever they are paired with at the moment) just side by side together have them in a very intimate relationship (this goes for all those spreads they do of other anime, showing just the male leads without their intended canon pairings)? Also, while we're in the discussion of SEED Nova, it must ALSO mean that Shinn wearing that Lacus cosplay must have also happened canonically by your logic.

@ BladeEntity

The only incident I recall where Kira and Lacus have shared the same beliefs was from the time Lacus (still mysteriously) cared for Kira in the PLANTs. Kira had always wanted to protect his friends to the best of his abilities even before he met Lacus. This was how Fllay nailed him to do her bidding - she knew which button to push (aside from the fact that this was also her revenge on Kira for getting her father killed despite his promise to her that he'd protect her father). This was what happened at the desert - he became her killing machine. Kira was gradually becoming doubtful of this strategy - killing people just so he could protect his friends, killing people to get peace from the enemies.

What ideal did Lacus have anyway? Peaceful resolution masquerading through the use of force, and just another way to disguise manipulating Kira to do her bidding as well. Whatever way we put it, in SEED Destiny, Kira's intervention in that Orb VS Minerva war only did more harm than bringing good. Killing people manning the Tannhauser that exploded, disabling MS left and right - this could easily be explained away that Kira was in a war wherein he wasn't wanted, and that it was just his job as Lacus' sword in order to protect the peace Lacus supposedly secured for them at the end of SEED.

But how different is this from Fllay's manipulation of Kira? Kira was in a war at that time too - he really couldn't help it if he had to mow people down to protect his friends - he was the only one (aside from Mwu) who could do it. At least Fllay apologized to him at the end. With Lacus' ideals, he just became a mindless drone shooting down MS just because it was threatening Lacus' peace.
