Astray isn't in SEED HD, not everyone cares for the non-Anime stuff. The fact of the matter is that the series poorly explained how Kira survived(by not explaining at all) and had to use a side story to fill in such an important blank. A side story almost all western viewers have not even heard of nor care for.

No, the Strike Freedom is better than the Freedom in every way and unlike the Freedom the Strike Freedom was personally worked under the eye of Kira who had gotten a feel of the pros and cons of the Freedom and which he liked and disliked. After all, the Freedom wasn't the ultimate Gundam. Not by far. The Destiny, Infinite Justice, Legend, and Strike Freedom easily surpass it. The Impulse as well since it at least was up to date while the Freedom had been resting in a hangar for years on end and still used old tech.

It did appear late and didn't get anywhere the screentime as the Destiny Gundam. Don't forget that they went right to the finale of the EFA arc that Kira and co. weren't even a part of. Besides, Rey is no Raul. Rey was supposedly very skilled yet he's never shown to fight onpar as Shinn or Athrun let alone Kira. And since Shinn and Lunamaria were busy fighting Athrun... Yeah.
So there was literally no one else, since Athrun took Shinn and Lunamaria out of the picture, that could come close to touching Kira and his Super Gundam, that he helped make, by the time Destiny was coming to a close. Just Rey and a bunch of grunts which isn't saying much considering how easily he defeated Rey. |

Speaking of which, is this the proper canon level, with the newer works taking higher priority:

There were plenty of strong and interesting characters from the Seed / Destiny side stories that Fukuda could have used as Kira's main opponent. Kira's brother for example, he at least had a good and personal reason to fight against Kira. But in the end it had to be Ray.

The final duel could have been Destiny vs. SFreedom, and Legend vs. IJustice and Akatsuki. I know that Shinn defeated Kira in their first encounter, and the second encounter at Orb probably ended in a draw. Kira would still win round 3, but it wouldn't be a flawless victory, and both suits would be heavily damaged. The way I see it, Luna would get involved, but after she gets Savioured by Kira, Shinn would be motivated even more.

I remember that Yzak's girlfriend, okay scratch that, his secret admirer, Shiho Hahnenfuss appears in Destiny (watching the monitor when Gil announcing the 'destiny plan') and at the end of Destiny Special Edition (looks surprised when Lacus hugs Kira) though .

It really is sad. The side stories have a ton of great characters and interesting plot elements that could have been used, for instance, as sub plots to make secondary characters like Kira and Lacus more interesting. Imagine if those comic relief characters from the Seiran family were replaced by the more ambitious and relevant characters from the Sahaku family.. It would have made Destiny so much better. Nami Tamaki.. It's kind of weird that she declined.. Her career took off because of Seed. (She was a contestant in a star search competition by Sony music and the winner got to sing the third opening song for Seed)
