Stop calling it a no-kill policy. Kira's been shown to kill from time to time.

He only kill when he really need too ( not when his life in danger but when other life is, like when stella was killing civilian or when Rau killed Flay because of rage> he always give them chance to live as long as they are lucky( Kira don't aim at soldier cockpit even if they hate him as long as they are proud solider who fight for their nation > killing civilian = you are in his blacklist even if you are main character girlfriend.)

Hasn't anyone forgot Kira piloting the Strike Rouge?

Not really, he didn't lose but Strike rouge lost.
He try to use shield to guard from shot not even aim at him > surprise he lost arm!!!
(Someone far away from him > attack Eternal = too bad Kira have fast reaction...)

Which was funny since Strike mange to use it's shield to guard from Dominion main canon "Lohengrin" and only lost itself....

Strong canon that should not just destroy him but totally eliminate him and whatever hiding behind him...

To be fair, the shield failed in both cases.

What's interesting is that either the shield hold out long enough for the Archangel to move out of the way or the Strike was enough to block/scatter(/annihilate?) the remaining positron beam so that the Archangel made it safely.

Strike Rouge was an outdated machine, of course it would lose

No,no. You said: “completely demolished”. That can only be said when one completely defeat the other in battle when they give it their all. You can’t say that when one party is holding back until the end.

For silhouettes argument: Basically they are spare parts to build a complete MS. IIRC, Kira destroyed Impulse’s silhouettes twice (without aiming for the easy one, like the cockpit). So, when he fought Shinn, Kira literally destroyed two or more Impulses before got defeated by Shinn. So, Impulse’s silhouettes is an advantage for Shinn. It can't be denied since Shinn really depended on those during battle with Freedom.
I'm pretty sure that the Impulse's creation was for the sole purpose of taking out the Freedom. Gil had every intention of killing Kira and Lacus. The impulse was like a back up plan should the assassination attempt fail. It was a unit perfectly designed for the type of fighting that would happen in a battle versus Kira and the Freedom.

Strike was destroyed entirely by Dominion’s cannon while in total defending pose. I think that’s what reduced Dominion’s beam attack to not harming the Archangel.

Strike Rouge’s shield and arm got destroyed by Gunner Zaku Warrior’s(?) cannon which is arguably on par with Strike’s Agni which is pretty powerful. So, I don’t see major inconsistency here.

Even if what you say is correct, had Kira aim for Impulse's cockpit from the start (which is easy for him), he would've beaten that Impulse Gundam using Freedom.

Skill level is the inconsistency. I don't know, but I think Kira could've thrown the Shield towards the beam. but it matters not i think: Kira's most likely using a Perfect Strike Rouge in the Remaster j/k.

If we count the psychology of the pilot too, Kira might got nervous and reckless knowing that his future wife can be blown up anytime along with her ship. His trauma of Fllay’s death kinda reduced his skill at that time. Ok, I’m half kidding here .

Knowing that he wouldnt aim for the cockpit was likely taken into account by Gil. Kira only aims for the cockpit when he feels that there is no other way or when he sees the other pilot as evil and needs to be stopped. He had neither of those during the battle, they were just soldiers doing their job, so he wouldnt aim to kill. He only wanted to hold off Shinn long enough for the archangel to escape.

Of course, I didn't say it wouldn't.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Durandal doesn't appear to even know that the Freedom still existed.

I don't see how that would solve anything.

Then why wait until after the battle to give Shinn the much superior destiny? Giving him the destiny before actually takes a edge away from shinn. The destiny is a superior machine but kira is a superior pilot to make up for the difference. If he manages to disable the destiny then all would be for naught in the operation to take down the freedom.

The simplest answer is because it wasn't ready yet.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm a bit disappointed with this episode.

I don't know why, but the battle just doesn't feel as engaging to me as in the original. Did they change the soundtrack or something?

Anyway,
Spoiler for that scene:
I like the new ending, though.

I hope the next episode will deliver at least the same enjoyment I got from the original. I'm kind of nervous now.

Also, why it's strange that Lacus voicer marry someone?
Lacus voicer =/= Lacus
(It's just like saying Meer = Lacus because they same same voicer)

Also there is no Kira x Athrun unless you are fan girl.
Yes he was serious. Are you implying that Kira would refuse to fight at his best when he knows that if he loses that everyone on the Archangel will die? No, stop trying to give excuse for what happened. He lost that match and never got a 1 on 1 rematch, the Orb fight didn't end in anyone's favor, so as far as the show is concerned Kira lost to Shinn.

Because it's funny that Lacus's VA marries another while Shinn and Lunamaria's VA marry each other.
