That's the thing TheScarletSword it wouldn't have been a matter of Shinn retaining growth if they hadn't half heartedly shift focus on to Kira then the most likely plot would have been would to have Shinn continue to grow as a character eventually mature. Instead Shinn's character growth stop and they had him become somewhat psycotic till the extend ending were they slapped a band aid on him figuretively speaking..

Obviously you don't know what a messiah is.

Stella was already on a rampage before Kira even showed up at the place. Did you even watch the show?

Do you think that it's safe to do a hard reboot of Destiny, while keeping the central GSD characters (Shinn, Luna, etc.)?

Funny that you said that, because Kenichi Suzumura (Shinn) married Maaya Sakamoto (Luna) back in August.

At least, something came out good from the troubled production of GSD (see Spielberg and Kate Capshaw during the making of Temple of Doom; they would marry years later).

They could rerelease Destiny with new animations and/or songs (and possibly a few minor tweaks to the story) should the rerelease of SEED be a success. But other than that, I don't see any reason for them to work on Destiny again, and certainly not for a reboot. There would be no point in that.

I meant when she did for the final time. Bad wording there.

Probably, depending on what they do for the upcoming SEED HD remaster.

Even then, her action is still not Kira's fault.

What point is that? I simply made the implication that you're incorrect in your claim that Kira acted as a messiah in Destiny.

I'm willing to bet that it will be more successful than the first DVD release of Gundam Age.

Well, that's probably a big IF. But if it turns out that way, then good for them.

You know what, I kept re watching the episode about when Stella died and I still couldn't bring myself to say that Kira killed her... she died because of the after effects of her cockpit exploding .. not because Kira's beam saber cut her into two (Like in Nicol's case) ..

well.. it may be safe to say that Kira indirectly killed her.. but still.. Kira didn't really actually kill her (?)

In the real world, accident or not... when you cause a direct secondary explosion that results to the destruction of a target and/or crew... You will be held accountable.

So yes, kira did kill Stella by laying the final blow. So pls try not to give kira free pass of accountability. You may receive agreement from biased kira fans but your argument wont hold well to military serviceman (or-ex in my case) who has done the real deal in matters like this.

Held accountable for what? Stella was a casualty of war. And in the end, she'll be listed as being KIA (if not MIA due to Shinn hiding her corpse), not a victim of Kira.

So as I said before, it doesn't really matter what actually killed Stella.

It's not like we're trying to label him as a war criminal--all we're saying is that Kira was indeed responsible for Stella's death. He dealt a fatal blow to the Destroy Gundam, and it caused a chain reaction that caused several explosions in the cockpit, giving Stella fatal wounds. Ergo, Kira killed Stella.

What winter45 is saying is that just because it caused a chain reaction, we can't say things like Kira didn't kill Stella, because he did. He can't wash his hands of that, and we shouldn't try to either.

Well if that's the case, then that's fine. But having had discussions with winter45 in the past, and with him/her using such phrases as "held accountable" and "not to give ... free pass on accountability" with respect to Kira, one can never be sure what is truly meant.

A better wording would be to say:

"Kira is responsible for Stella's death."

Or (perhaps less neutral)

"Kira gets the credit for (landing the finishing blow on Destroy,) causing Stella's death (in the process)."

But saying that Kira should "be held accountable" for Stella's death implies that there's someone that Kira has to answer to for causing her death. Now granted, Shinn did took on that role, but that's on Shinn, not because Kira was in anyway accountable to Shinn.

I personally don't hold him accountable, the explosions seemed rather like a fluke. Not to mention she seemed in well enough health post-explosion that had she not been injured prior to the meager cockpit detonations she'd have been fine. I don't think anyone is held accountable when you can (more or less) prove that a previous injury made death possible, and the person didn't know the injury was there.

Minor hell. Explosions at that range, even when they're relatively "small", can cause a huge amount of damage to an unprotected person when they're that close. The shockwaves alone would've caused a lot of injury to her internal organs.

Take Gundam 00 for example--in season 1, when Ali finished off the Dynames, the internal explosion in the cockpit seriously messed Lockon up, and in the novelization, it was revealed that the explosion had pulverized his innards. Even if Ali hadn't shot the cannon he was standing on, Lockon would've died. He was a dead man walking, and Stella was in the same boat.

Guess peeps here doesnt understand the implication what a secondary explosion can cause once a destructive reaction forms.

@monster

As to what killed stella it really doenst matter i agree but more importantly who killed stella is the better question *points at kira* unfortunately this fact is not accepted by all, and that party have resorted to the what question, to avoid kiras lethal action against stella.

ill break it down.... Stella was fine, then kira causes secondary explosion, DESTROY goes KABOOM... next, she is dieing and she went dead. THE END

Noticed how Stella was fine for the most part untill kira caused a secondary explosion? So at this point we can safely say kira has killed her.

In the world of Gundam Seed, a civilian, which Kira was, was hold true for homicide even in the war.
That said during the period between the Lacus assault and the Orb invasion Kira was a criminal,
Until he was given a military grade later.
The thing became a little more greyer, we can say that Kira's ass was somewhat covered. :_)

Outside the Archangel, Orb leaders, by proxy of Yuna, do not recognize the Archangel as part of Orb.

Inside the Archangel, Orb leaders, by proxy of Cagalli, support the Archangel and later officially recognize it as part of Orb.

Either way, Kira can't be considered a normal civillian, therefore:

And that's all that really matters.

@wm4

Kira is fortunate that his faction has won the war... with his sister leader of orb and his girlfriend with political influence with zaft this will help kira position with those respective nations. Which really is his real saving grace.

As to Blue cosmos and their pet countries doesn't matter, kira will still be hated by the fact that he is a co-ordinator.
