2. This thread is an old idea. 3. The poster should offer his/her opinion, and actually bring up something to discuss rather than yes/no answers. Tell us what you think first, and we will see if there is anything to discuss.

Kira had to be that way for GS and GSD to turn out the way it did. Instead of saying; "Kira is overpowered," you should say something like; "GS/GSD had sucky plot/story."
IMO. I didn't mind GS though, but GSD was just, =__= |

I disagree with you all.

Unless you count ep23 as a "defeat" for Shinn, the only gundam pilot he could be said to have defeated quickly is Rey in the final ep. That's not exactly a glowing record, and it's not like Rey was touted as one of Zaft's best pilots.

relatively, he is a poweful pilot compared to other CE pilots (Rau was a lil better until the freedom stab).... but he is a decent pilot overall, not that ZOMGpowerful.
The grunts suck though, I give you that. you WILL look overpowered killing 100 stationary targets |

That, and Rey had Shinn on his palms anyway. The way he manipulates Shinn is just... Speaking of quick ace defeats, sorry, but are we forgetting Justice vs. Destiny? Now that, is an entirely one sided affair. Not to mention, Shinn had a few close calls against the S. Freedom while piloting his new Destiny. If it wasn't for the oh-not-so-great Ray saving his behind, I honestly can't see how Shinn'd last very long. - Tak |

Rey is a shitty pilot undeserving of a Gundam. He gets one by default which is pretty much a testament to his skill level. I would say even more underserving of a Gundam is Lunamaria. Looooooool she sucked in Impulse.

I would have to say yes when it comes to him defeating a battlefield consisting of multiples mass produced MS, several Gundams piloted by Coordinators and druggies, etc. in less than an episode. Even more so when the guy wasn't suppose to have piloted Freedom for two years. I've heard that once you ride a bike you never forget how to but this is pretty ridiculous. In GS, Kira never really showed such level of combat ability and for him to actually do this well after not piloting for quite a while where he seems to be completely untouchable with no one being able to react much at all to getting attacked by him really makes no sense.
And that little few seconds mindwashing he did to Rey at the end of GSD makes him seem even more overpowered when he can pretty much babble anything and that person automatically skips off to not believing in what they believed in for most of their life and shoot the very guy he looks up to. |

And lets give Lunamaria some credit. She did manage to get Jibril, and she fought to a standstill against the Gaia in a ZAKU! No less! If it wasn't for that horrible mini-skirt, I think I might appreciate her character more. For the rest, I blame plotholes. - Tak |

I think the problem isn't that Kira is overpowered, but the grunts are underpowered... I mean what's their use? No matter their number, they would be defeated by a branded gundam like Freedom, Justice, Destiny and so on.
It isn't possible that 100 zakus can't even hit Freedom once... I say once, not several times!!! In a battle Freedom vs 100 zaku the zaku may be all destroyed, but Freedom must be really damaged to be real, otherwise it's power-ranger like. It's spectacular of course, but nothing more... |
