They might be the same in Arabic script, but they're spelled differently in Japanese.

Possible ending for Setsuna if he had the same conclusion as Camille

Running towards Marina and cries
"Mommmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......................!! !!!!!!"

Possible ending for Setsuna if he had the same conclusion as Kira

Looks upon the dessert, counting how many times sandstorm passes by

Possible ending for Setsuna if he had the same conclusion as Shinn

"The world is twisted. I know that first hand. Now the war has ended let's go get drunk and jerk ourselves!"


Possible ending for Setsuna if he had the same conclusion as Quartto


"Yes, I am Setsuna. But I am also that bastard called 'GUNDAM'"

Why would they be spelt differently in Japanese? They're both pronounced the same to my knowledge.

Er, no. Soran's written name in Japanese has always been ソラン・イブラヒム (soran iburahimu).

Plot armor is when a character who should be dead for very physical reasons (caught in a definitely final cockpit explosion, caught inside a superweapon beam, reactor explosion, masked helmet off in space, etc.) is returned alive for no established reason until a later retcon. Things that should kill them don't merely by director fiat. You can make a case for that with Graham in the final of S1, though if Setsuna didn't die from a beamsaber into the cockpit, then Graham didn't need to either.
I disagree that plot armour doesn't occur only when a character who should be dead for very physical reasons. Plot armour occurs to Graham because he have importance later on in the series/plot device, just like when the 3 other gundams appeared during Masurao with 00 , and Masurao not being shot down when Masurao was in the air standing still with no beams hitting Masurao.

That was the entire point of that fight; Graham was twisted into someone who only wanted to fight to win, while Setsuna was finally Innovating towards a future where he wouldn't have to fight. Setsuna is not most people and he doesn't do what people "usually" do; he doesn't kill without a reason, and once the battle is over he doesn't go around finishing off pilots. He never has. He fights while others still fight, but once they stop and can't fight back he stops. That was the difference between Setsuna and Graham after two seasons of developing; Graham came to live only to fight, but Setsuna now only fights to live for the future.

Now, if Graham survived a beam/stab through the cockpit, or stood unharmed through a Memento Mori blast, or had a machine that took shots that by all accounts should have torn his suit to pieces but didn't even leave a scratch, that would be plot armor. But if he stands in space and Setsuna sees no reason to kill him and flies off, yes, in search of Louise, that's not plot armor. That's Setsuna choosing not to kill him.
Setsuna have two instances of killing Graham throughout the match, the most obvious is the beam stab to the shoulders.Setsuna thinks he disarm Graham ,he would have immediately flew off in search for Louise just like the other episodes where he searched for Louise after disarming the enemy. If he thought he hadn't disarm he would do it immediately but didnt in this case as he thought he had disarm Graham's unit.

Hm? No offense taken. =)

Change of subject, Setsuna sure makes a more convincing Middle-Easterner than say...Quatre. To me, anyway.

Sigh. Yes, but Ebrahim would be エブラヒム, unless it was pronounced the same as Ibrahim. I haven't heard of an "Ebrahim", but I'll take Tokkan word on its pronunciation. Regardless, it's a lot more unusual than Ibrahim, to my knowledge.

But if it's officially Ebrahim, it must have been taken verbatim from the name of the Turtles Can Fly actor.
its ibrahim, islam's prophet. i can read arab.
