Especially when Kira slept with her and then Kira beat up his best friend.
Truly a great moment in Gundam history. That particular scene has been captured for posterity and immortalized via the countless spoof gifs that spawned from it courtesy of some of our talented Japanese friends. That the implied sex scene could occur on a daytime Japanese TV anime without drawing the ire of the censors was amazing. Probably a first for a broadcasted Gundam series at the time.
Also, while we're on the topic of SEED characters, Kira and Lacus(Kira in particular) were never really idealized/deified in the series until the end of SEED/the entirety of Destiny. As noted above, Kira himself was kinda a dick and extremely emotionally immature like any other teen his age was expected to be.
