      Whenever I think of Seed, Miguel Aiman is the first character to pop in my head. Despite not being a Zaft Red pilot, he was good enough to have his own MS designed for him. If he had his own Jinn during the fight with Kira he probably would’ve survived. He still would’ve lost, but survived. He was done dirty in the show. They should’ve given him his own Spin Off about his encounter with serpent tail.

      @@alcatrazvongola Athrun is very skilled but best pilot of the 3?! That’s debatable. You gotta imagine how effective Kira’s Freedom would be if he fought every suit with the intent to kill right off the bat. It would make his work massively easier. Athrun is definitely Kira’s rival but he doesn’t have the same level of prowess to simply disarm opponents every single time. Athrun more than often goes for the kill. So in a sense that’s why he appears to be the most effective of the 3. Because Athrun’s skill is close to Kira’s and he’s a realist making him more effective.
      Basically Kira is playing on extreme difficulty because of his foolish ideals.
      Athrun is playing on Normal/ Hard Mode and is just there to get the job done.

    Thanks for making this vid. Gundam Wing was my introduction to Gundam. But Gundam Seed is what made me fall in love with it! Gundam Seed is my favorite universe in Gundam. It seemed more grounded in reality and didn’t have any magical mystical stuff going on like in other Universes. I loved the fact that they treated Mobile Suits (more specifically the Gundams) as machines and not super weapons. Gundams were just higher spec mobile suits. I understand why people don’t like it because it’s just a retelling of 'Mobile Suit Gundam', and because of the walking ex machina Kira (Jesus) Yamato. But it’s what made Gundam my favorite anime franchise.

    @Joshua_N-A Місяць тому +8

    This was my introduction to the franchise. Despite its flaws, I found Cosmic Era's worldbuilding to be interesting. SEED is the revival of the franchise by returning to its all out war roots. If there's anything we can learn about Bloody Valentine War, it's "there are no winners". BVW is M.A.D.ness at the core seeing how both sides, led by extremists using WMDs on each other. Btw, Patrick tries to nuke Washington DC, Atlantic Federation's capital.
    Flay being a jerk imo, is more of an environmental one, leading to the question "is it nature or nurture". Seeing how AF is the hotbed of anti-Coordinator sentiment, it should be known that how much grip Blue Cosmos has over the politics, society and the most dangerous of all, MEDIA. Flay might be influenced through media. Her character could've been handled better though. Props to Kuwashima Houko for playing two characters at once! Yes; she voiced both Flay and Natarle. There's this thing been loitering around in my head which is had Fukuda didn't pull that Luke and Leia, Cagalli could've been the best foil and balance to Flay. Both even seems to be opposite of each other. Not to discredit Lacus but that's how I see it.
    Not to mention the war happens during the height of a cold war between Atlantic and Eurasian Federations. Think Cuban Missile Crisis level of tension between US and USSR but mix it with invasion from space of some sorts. That's why you see the Artemis troops being hostile because majority of the Archangel's original crew are from Atlantic Federation and they got the good stuff. Earth Alliance is fragile alliance at best, waiting to collapse at any moment. Alaska should've been the last straw for the alliance to continue, EA is basically a house of cards. You can say that Mu the American who makes impossible possible. Sounds Mu-rican alright. Btw, Patrick Zala is also from AF. The first Earth target? None other than WASHINGTON, DC. Justified it's the capital of the anti-Coordinator hotbed. It sounds as if as Fukuda tries to portray America or the West as a sort of "bad boy", for the lack of a better word and ORB is Japan but without Article 9 and it seemingly the ideal Japan to Fukuda. To drive that West thing home, look at the 3 new EA Gundams. The way I see them is they're Cosmic Era version of Wing (Raider), Heavyarms (Calamity) and Deathscythe (Forbidden). Guess what the first Gundam to be aired in the West?
    Sometimes, I hear people saying that Athrun is the true main protagonist. Idk but what do you think? Does he has the qualities of a main protagonist? Kira's survival could've been done better. The Strike's PS armor is still active meaning it still has power and the beam saber is still active. He could've cut the remaining legs, turn around at the last moment and let the Aile pack absorb the blast. The melted seat is one big headscratcher. The remaster should've kept the original footage. By the time the Archangel arrived at ORB, given the battles they've been through, Kira swing the sword by reflex should be a natural outcome.
    Rau's action made the whole mess even messier. He's the byproduct of humanity's unrelentless pursue of progress imo. His existence was due to a man who tries to bribe Death, with his wealth. But yeah, Death still catches up on Al.
    Hell, the Boosted Men and GSD's Extendeds are basically Spartan program. EA pulled an ONI and what Zala tries to do is basically GLASSING lol! Too bad Kira's an ensign instead of master chief petty officer.
    For some reason, the older I get and the more I watch SEED, Kira and Flay's dynamic hooked on me. Flay slowly becoming the mask she puts on and even after breaking up, she even ask Kira's whereabouts after the fight with Athrun cementing that her feeling is genuine. Still, Strike Kira is my favourite. Him inside the Freedom just makes him too perfect. Idk, maybe that's just me liking flawed characters. Everyone's got their own taste.
    If you're doing GSD, don't forget do Stargazer as well. I call it the "palate cleanser" for after watcthing GSD.
    Dang, this must the longest I've ever written. Sorry for the essay 😅.

    Yeah, about 30:28 and Flay's death. According to Fukuda in a 2003 interview after the show ended, Kira never heard what Flay wanted to tell him because she's a ghost. It was merely a way for the audience to know what Flay wanted to tell him but now never could. And if you look at the scene closely, they scripted and storyboarded it to hide that fact, but Kira's dialogue doesn't match up with Flay's.
    So, it's not really an etherial moment of understanding between the two because only the audience gets closure, not Kira.

  • @infinitylink9157
    @infinitylink9157 Місяць тому +1

    Good vocalization, good summary, good vibe, good storytelling and good jokes, keep at it!
    Just have some observations:
    *1:06: The Gundams here aren't explicitly called Gundams in-universe, but **G-Weapons**, this series is known to be the only one in the entire franchise to almost never call them Gundams, as if to add a sense of realism to the mechs involved. Kira only calls them Gundam when he sees the G-Weapon's Operating System's initials, General Unilateral Neurolink Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver (G.U.N.D.A.M OS), and in a later episode both La Flaga and Murdoch reference this fact and lampshade why Kira calls it as such. Almost everyone in-universe calls them mobile suits, mobile weapons, G-Project or G-Weapons.
    *11:22: Like you mentioned earlier, the G-Project was underway in Morgenroete and it was a collaboration between the EA's Atlantic Federation and Orb, but Orb did not create the entire G-Project nor made the OG G-Weapons, they were basically siphoning data from the Alliance so they can gather most of the technology being produced for these mechs as well as gather data on ship development and MS strategies. The G-Project itself is supposedly conceptualized (or even developed) by the 8th Fleet's Admiral, Dwayne (or Duane) Halberton as speculated by Le Creuset and his crew during the Battle of Orbit. Orb needed the tech to aid in their own MS development, which is what led to the Astray frames, Murasame etc. It is also notable that Kira made a big contribution to Orb's MS development by essentially remaking the OS for Naturals. Orb's collaboration does allow the Archangel and it's machines to be easily maintained when they stayed there.
    *27:53: The faction Lacus, Kira and the rest of the main homie gang trying to stop the war is called the Three Ships Alliance, unofficially.

    • @GundamHQ
      @GundamHQ  Місяць тому +3

      Great points - I sadly really didn't have much time to dive into the hyper detailed aspects of the show so simply calling them Gundams and covering the basics of cross - development felt the most accessible to audiences who have either not seen it or haven't seen it in years.
      Plus I think its really annoying that Lacus goes out of her way to correct Kira on the title when its literally is color coded into the screen, wild.

    It’s no wonder why Athrun felt so useless in the first episodes of Gundam Seed Destiny. He was so full of action in gundam seed. To be fair, he is indestructible if he is not in his headspace all the time.. and just to be on the sidelines for some time and guarding Cagalli who at the same time is pretty busy herself with rebuilding her nation, may have been mentally depressing for him. I even saw a comment in twitter that Athrun is like Shinn, determined and capable of nuking everyone but the only difference is he THINKS

    9:55 fun fact- this was Gundam Seeds "the beach episode". Every anime has one and Seed completely did it so differently but still important to the plot.
    Code geass saw this shit and did the exact same thing
    Also at the end.... I don't think rau ever told anyone on screen that he was behind it all- Kira just knew he was a problem who had to be taken out based on what he was saying (and kiras lack of rebuttal)

  • @jackylee5850

    I liked the dynamics between Kira and Athrun, two friends on opposite sides of a war, as both of them struggles to find the answer in this chaos: What is more important in wartime, friendship or duty? Kind of makes you wonder, if you and your best friend met on opposite side of a battlefield, can either of you have the guts to pull the trigger, or risk being persuaded to join the other side and betray your faction.
    The mechanical designs and new technologies are also a lot more diverse than the older eras, more contemporary and believable.
