It's cool to see that Lunamaria has more roles and development in the Prequel than in Destiny, i forgot she's even wearing a red uniform

[@Matanumi]

lunamaria was such aside piece of a character from destiny that she never really got any development at all. Despite being really popular and talented and well liked in all the universe manuals. You can't really see her without shin-its almost like her character was created because of the relationship her VA shares with Shins in real life

[@summer7603]

She got enough as a side character. This is a shounen and even with 24 episodes its still tight telling a war story with 3 main characters. Friggin Athrun had more development than Shin at the end. It was confusing watch the main character switch as he pulled an Anakin.

[@gerogyzurkov2259]

I wouldn't be surprised if Durandal considered putting her on the boat instead of Luna but Rey advised against it, since, due to having personal expirience, he knew Agnes would be a loose screw in the machine and that Luna would do better as part of the squad. Heck, Agnes was even less military material than Shinn. Minerva Corps was supposed to be an elite top unit, and it couldn't function well if its members were in a state of constant discord.

[@renzanfortineri196]

Before watching SEED FREEDOM, I thought she was a Quess which doesnt contribute anything to story After watching SEED Freedom, honestly Agnes actually written better than Quess, she was really a lost cause. But as a character she serves her purpose making Lunamaria said she really loves Shinn At least to us, the fan for 20 years. That is really a big win. Agnes word to Luna "I'm not like you, that settles with someone without trying... I will find good man" (not word by word but similar to that) and "That monkey? You seriously love that monkey boy?!" Is the voice of question why Luna ended up with Shinn from story point of view It's cringy but we like it lol

So was Shin just bad at the school part because his piloting skills we seen from Destiny are pretty good

[@Redpoppy80]

Shin has always suffered from a lack of focus on what matters most. All of his trauma leaves him very raw to his natural faults. It is why Athurn was never quite able to connect to Shin because Athurn was always a lot better at dealing with his own emotions, but Athurn always suffered because he was always indecisive outside of combat. So, Shin saw Athurn as someone to look up to but not someone who he could trust or guide him which Shin really needed given how lost he was.

The story of Destiny is far more scattered compared to SEED and Shinn is extremely obnoxious as a protagonist. The fight animation was also largely recycled from SEED when they really needed new cuts. I actually don't mind Shin as a character myself though he went full dark side at the end so, yeah...

[@dustintroydeguzman5411]

Destiny was plagued by problems by its second half and if what some of the statements made of the people involved and some speculations are true, then it makes sense. IIRC Shinn's VA once stated there was some beef between the producer or the one in charge with Cagalli's VA hence why she turned from this Naive Girl who grew up into who she was meant to be in SEED into the Cagalli that is only Cagalli in name in Destiny. Which is also why it was Meyrin Hawke who was with Athrun at the end. Shinn's VA stood up for Cagalli's VA and his character development is scrapped and we the Shinn of the Second Half. There were internal/personal issues that the producer was experiencing and she couldn't seperate work from personal life and it affected the show too. Anyways, no matter if it is true or not the truth is it had some issues and it resulted in a subpar half second of what could have nice.

Tbh I don't think character writing is Gundam SEED's strongest department but kinda wish it was. This is just my opinion on the series btw and SEED is my first Gundam. It is seems that Gundam couldn't shake that one annoying female character off just like in most shonen anime media (I think Gundam covers both shonen and seinen but mecha seems to lean on shonen most of the time). It's as if as the writers deliberately does that, and the trope seems to trigger those who live in Atlantic Federation aka the West. I guess there's not enough Quesses to piss people off lol.

[@GundamHQ]

Well from a writing standpoint I'm pretty sure that is the goal for Agnes. She's a hate-able semi antagonist that we get to root for Shinn to overcome. She's definitely insufferable - but it directly contributes to Shinns character arc.

Kind of funny that in the original drama CD it stated that Shinn had surpass Rey and Luna in a exam when they had to redo it. I mean Shinn is a red coat so this story might just be when they started out like first year cadets and maybe after first year Agnes went to another class while Shinn, Luna and Rey were still in the same class together.

Shin got better after hard work and determination which is what you want in a gundam pilot like shin.

[@Nataku302]

@@Phantom19913 yea of course you want that in a gundam pilot.

The potential for Agnes.....All wasted....Imagine had she had been a clone made from Flay.

[@anissha5298]

Sorry, but she's not worth to cloned for.

Shin - freedom killer Agnes - boyfriends stealers

[@GundamHQ]

[@ZzCal123]

Cant trust her.

[@Stars_Excella]

Agnes and Leonard is the one behind the traitor. Because what I know is both got involved in a Freedom robbery case and they got a dark relationship with Foundation. And what I know is the foundation has a member of Kira's clone and for sure their goals is surpassing Natural and Coordinator and also following Destiny Plan. So that's why I hate this girl since the movie explained.

Funny thing i just noticed the Faith members that died had their normal suit marking on the right side of the chest

[@rammieliverson9061]

I'm glad that they entrusted Shinn the immortal justice Gundam rather than give it to Agnes

[@TechnicSky]

Just watched the movie thanks to being caught up thanks to you and your videos. Also, the intro song of the movie is crazy good.

[@GundamHQ]

@TechnicSky Happy to help! The movie is so fast/packed with references etc. that in hindsight made me happy I decided to make these

[@AsiansLoveRice]

Wait, im confused. What's this claim on all the forums I read about a stolen Strike Freedom? If any at all? If someone doesn't mind explaining, i'd appreciate it. I keep reading around that supposedly Foundation got their hands on the Strike Freedom and damaged it in some way?

[@calvinfermin6598]

In the movie, there is a throwaway scene (3 seconds max) of the Strike Freedom getting destroyed by one of the Black Knights mobile suits (I can't remember which). Also, Shura (Commander of the Black Knights) recognizes Agnes' name in the movie when they first meet. It is explained in the side-novels that Agnes' boyfriend stole the original Strike Freedom and went ballistic, and the Black Knights (probably Shura) killed him for doing so. I believe this is why we get a Strike Freedom Spec II, since the original Strike Freedom didn't get damaged, and why Shura recognizes Agnes since she pulled the strings in order to get her boyfriend to pilot the Strike Freedom.

[@AsiansLoveRice]

@@calvinfermin6598 AHHH I see. Okay, thank you so much for explaining!

[@Raikoukouken]

Spoilers Immortal Justice and Rising Freedom are destroyed for Kira, Athrun and Shin to continue they need mobile suits Cagali and Athrun actually hidden the Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice and Destiny and had them put away and the original crew who worked on Strike Freedom and original Strike upgraded them (so technically they were stolen but also not stolen?) Typo by @calvinfermin6598 it was Rising Freedom being destroyed not the Strike Freedom (Strike Freedom was simply retired for a new model) AFAIK Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice aren't nuclear like Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice

[@lawrencemejos3139]

For me, "Housenka" is much powerful pilot than "Moonlight Valkyrie".

[@tomblack2890]

what does that mean

[@lawrencemejos3139]

@@tomblack2890 Shiho, who earned the title of "Housenka" before Agnes became a pilot

[@Matanumi]

Well shiho has first war experience.... something all these young pliots don't have (although shiho is young)

[@Diceboxx]

Shiho only survived G.SEED because Nami Tamaki refused to voice her during the Animes original run, because she fears that she'll get the Miguel Treatment

[@Matanumi]

​@@Diceboxxthat was only a massive rumor-shiho was always an MSV character whereas Miguel and Heanie STARTED as anime show characters

[@neoinfinity5204]

Without context i thought she’s Luna sister cause everyone looks funny especially with these lips.

[@Noodle1423]

I like the idea of Freedom/Kira as a villain. Too bad there's no way of writing a decent story around that isn't bullshit.

[@ZeroDarkness-]

The only Agnes can be trusted in Cosmic era is Agnes Brahe the brother of Setona Winters

[@freedom341]

shin only loves destiny 😂
