Didn't Tomino or somebody write a novelization of Seed where Kira died?

That sounds like fanfiction at its worst.

Only to you dtl. I stopped liking Kira years ago. That moment where him and Kira had that discussion in Destiny and Kira was just like, "but Cagali is crying" to everything was just stupid.

and Kira rose again from the dead and now all the believers follow.

I'd rather believe in a flawed god than one with his head stuck up his own ass.
It was Amuro and Char had a red Gundam.
JadedWriter

You know...that still sounds a lot like Seed.
I don't see how.
JadedWriter

Athrun is practically Char and he has a red gundam...multiple red gundams.
He just gets them wrecked because he knows he'll always get a shiny new one.
He should have had the Akatsuki for the sake of having a gold one.

Yeah I was going to mention that last part too but opted not too. I guess he's just not into bling.
Their likeness are nods at best.

Only thing missing is the vaginal code name...
Char got more than Athrun ever got.

I always thought Paptimus and Kamille got the most action. Amuro was a romantic train wreck by comparison.
Paptimus maybe, but I feel like he really didn't care about that side of things. Just having control. I don't think Kamille had much luck as a vegetable.
JadedWriter

But Kamille wasn't always a vegetable though. And yeah Paptimus was a control freak, didn't care about anyone. At least he knew what Reccoa wanted...I guess. Not Char's fault he didn't want to smack a bitch up. Kamille has Fa and Four, two of the best UC dames not to mention Rosamia. Her character went nowhere but she was hot. Not to mention big sis Emma. I actually think Kamille was closer to his group than Amuro was. Less said about Sara the better.
He's Jesus.

That and it's explained in a side story manga because I guess it's just not important enough :/
I just finished Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. Someone hold me, that ending was fucked up.
I seem to vaguely remember reading somewhere that SEED was originally planned to end with Kira dying so it might've been that.
Seriously though,
GENESIS should've vaporized Kira.

My god how many times was Kira supposed to die?
The second Cross Ange theme is better than it has any right to be.

Kira survives things that should have killed him like three times. Genesis is probably the most bullshit worthy, though, yeah.
Plot armor is a hell of a drug.

It's a bit disappointing since they cut out so much from that segment. Also it doesn't have any SFX and I'm not a fan of the insert song they used. It doesn't fit with the rest of the OST.
I'm hoping it did well enough to warrant a follow up so that they animate the full A Baoa Qu sequence with the Gundamheads, Guntank, and Bianca
Lol i see Kira lives up to his "Our lord and savior" moniker
Seed 34
Coordinators: "Hey we're going to point A for realises though."
Naturals "Shit we better get everyone to point A."
Coordinators "Lol no actually we're going to point B, trolled you lol."
So are the Coordinators master strategists or are the Naturals just that stupid?
EDIT: 35
Never mind it was all part of the Naturals ultra scumbag kaikaku. Shit the Freedom is so OP.

Is there anywhere to order the Thunderbolt Bluray from aside from RS? Their sold out 
CDJapan has the Complete Edition available now and the cheaper Standard Edition available at the end of the month. Pretty sure RS's release is the same as the Complete Edition, but the Standard Edition doesn't have all the physical extras like storyboards booklets.Is there anywhere to order the Thunderbolt Bluray from aside from RS? Their sold out

Technically it wasn't the Genesis blast, it was Genesis hitting Providence, which then exploded and that nuclear explosion is what did Freedom in.
Still bullshit but yeah.
HammerOfThor

It will have both. It's basically the same sort of release strategy as Gundam Unicorn and the Origin where every region gets the same discs.
Love this trend. Made getting all the Unicorn episodes much easier.
Great time to be a western Gundam fan right now overall.
The blast radius of Genesis is huge. No way Freedom had time to outrun it. The explosion is not what did Freedom in. It was clearly the gamma ray from Genesis. Kira just lived cuz of Fllay's plot armor. =/

Freedom dodges immediately before and Providence explodes immediately after this. This is the first beam that's fired towards the mirror, not the huge reflected blast. Which doesn't fire thanks to kamikaze Justice.
But it's still BS that he survived

The Gamma ray of Genesis is not that small.... It starts out small then gets bigger.

Nobody can explain what Jesus does, he just does what Jesus do.

The bigger shot never fired at the end, that's what I'm trying to say. Justice blew up before it could.
Here, I figured this would be needed and I couldn't find the scene on YouTube. Most people forget Providence is nuclear powered but have a look yourself.

... Actually why am I even debating this. I'm such a fucking SEED nerd lol. Sorry.

I love this show so much.
Yep, that's exactly what happened. Genesis didn't finish the firing sequence. If it did the Earth would be toasted.
And being Athunist is HERESY!
Ah. That makes sense.

The suicide explosion is designed to destroy all the hidden tech within the gundam, it is not powerful enough to destroy another gundam.

She knew not to get between two men.
There's a page from the Gundam-san manga that's very relevant here but I don't have it on hand and I probably shouldn't be looking for manga while at work...
Finished Iron Blooded Orphans.
Got some complaints about the series, but it was still a fun watch and makes me excited for whatever Gundam show I get into next.
Also
looks fucking ridiculous wearing that mask and wig. Like some sort of deformed bird. Even Mr. Bushido looked more respectable than that.

Would you care to elaborate on those complaints? Not attacking you, just genuinely curious.
