Shin was an irrational teenage punk. There was no taking Stella in, she had already been captured and she almost strangled a ZAFT doctor. That would have been all his fault because she was his prisoner, his responsibility. There was nothing to understand there, Stella needed to be put down.

It appears that AGE-FX rifle's side parts can extend to the front of the gun, perhaps giving its rifle roughly 3 modes. the regular mode, a (possible) mode where the sides of the gun extend to the front, and the BFG attachment.

I really hated that. No-kill policies are completely unrealistic and doesn't achieve anything. One of the reasons I hated SEED/Destiny.
For example, in Gundam 00 Setsuna stopped the fighting not by doing a no-kill policy but actually going DIRECTLY to the head and opening up "negotations" to get them to understand. In a Green Lantern issue, a new Green Lantern tried to stop a war by confiscating all the weapons but that only resulted in escalating the conflict as the two sides simply bought out even bigger guns. The war was only resolved because a veteran Green Lantern went DIRECTLY to the leadership and bought both leaders to an understanding. The only way Kio is going to bring an end is to take out Ezcelant and free the Vagans from his control. Then they can ease in. The Federation has already proven that it is willing to negotiate in the first place (And that was when Flit was even the Supreme Commander). Unless the Gundam spreads some sort of "understanding" particle but then that'd be complete BS and out of character with AGE Gundam. |

Kira cleaved a whole battleship in half during SEED's finale. Regardless Soldier was likely referring to Kira's policy of avoiding kills whenever possible. His complaint is a little justified, people want to see combat in Gundam most of the time. Kira might be considered a special case (due to the fact that he DOES fight, just doesn't kill), but Setsuna in the 00 movie barely did anything combat-wise. I can't really see Kio adopting the same kind of no-kill philosophy in AGE but I'd think I'd start getting annoyed too if he did.

In other words, I was asking you to clarify what you mean by a "no-kill policy." If, as Rising Dragon said, you were referring to Kira's preference to disable most of the time (although he's still willing to kill), then that still doesn't explain your complaint about how "No-kill policies are completely unrealistic and doesn't achieve anything." Fact of the matter is that Kira's preferred method of fighting was never presented as the way to end war, rather it has always been part of his characterization that began with his role in the Archangel to the meeting with Andrew all the way to killing Nichol and fighting with Athrun, and finally meeting Lacus who gave him the power to fight the way he wants to fight. So, again, if you're going to complain about "no-kill policies" and use SEED/Destiny as an example, all I'm asking is that you clarify what you mean. Because what you are apparently complaining about does not appear to be a major part of SEED/Destiny to me. |

Removing Ezelcant from the equation would not solve anything. The Federation needs to win the hearts of the people it abandoned to die, and that doesn't mean killing their leader and replacing him with someone else. The Vagans won't see that as liberation, but rather conquest by the Federation and the new leader as a puppet. ...

Why are people trying to make of the FX as a Quanta It looks nothing like it, just the color scheme, and technically, it doesn't since the final design for the quanta doesn't have that unique color scheme in favor of traditional gundam colors
Hell, look at the three different rifle modes, and tell me it's going to UNDERSTAND. If anything it's profile looks like an Aile Striker.

And remember that Rey states Kira targets mostly appendages or cameras. That's enough to disable them in some way, but doesn't make it impossible for them to get out of the battle if they chose to do so. |
