Destiny Phase 50: The Future Will be Better Tomorrow

We finally made it. The final episode of Gundam SEED Desitny. We made it through Gundam jackings, speeches about identity, Mobile Suit pilots with frustrating mental acuity, Crygali and Savioring. We made it through disintegrated people coming back to life, Djibril and the Destiny plan. What awaits us in the final episode? You'll have to listen and see.

Destiny Phase 49: Math With Laser Beams

We're almost there. The penultimate episode of Gundam SEED Destiny. It's all come to this. Who will do the most nonsensical philosophizing? Who will pick the most nonsensical character motivation out of the hat? Who will be kicked to the moon? And who will set up a pun without even realizing what they're doing? You'll have to listen to find out, and once you do, might as well stick around for next week too.

Phase 41: Not Your Daddy's Doms

This week on the podcast, everything's showing up from space, and Geremy makes a surprising amount of jokes about music! Plus, the final new Mobile Suits for the series are introduced: the Lemniscate Justice and the Dom. But not just any old busted Dom. It's the new, sexy Dom Trooper. Listen to find all about it and its trio of pilots!

Phase 39: Tinker Tailor Soldier DaCosta

DaCosta is back! But he messed up because he's an idiot, oh no! To defend her secret StarCraft factory from DaCosta's incompetence, Lacus Clyne has to launch The Eternal without any Mobile Suit pilots and try to escape from some Nazca class ships. Sure is a shame she has a newer, cooler, Freedomier nuclear Gundam on board with no one to pilot it. If only Athrun and Mu La.... I'm sorry, Captain Neo Roanoke could convince Kira to go help her. His girlfriend. Seems like something he wouldn't do on his own. You'll have to listen and see.

Phase 34: Excessive Explosions

This week, the show reveals that only a main character can defeat a main character, as the very subtly named "Operation Angel Down" pits Shinn against Kira. Shinn's been wanting to shoot down the Freedom for 2s of episodes now. Will he succeed? The answer will make Geremy sad.

Phase 33: Why Can’t We be Friends? The Secret is Actually the Illuminati

This week, Durundal gives a long, impassioned speech, and doxes the Illuminati in response to them blowing up all of Europe. But according to Kira and Cagali this is.... bad? For some reason? Zach has a theory, and you'll have to listen if you want to hear it.

Phase 32: Destroy Us All

Stella's here in her big robot, and she's going to destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!!

Destroy us all!!!

Also, that guy in the mask looks vaguely familiar, and for the first time, a Gundam gets taken out by mooks.

Phase 30: Athrun Got a Rock

This week on the podcast... angry boy evolves into... Grumpy Boy! Grumpy Boy uses "Try to sneak a dying enemy soldier off of the ship in my Gundam." You'll have to listen to see how effective it is.

Also, Kira Yamato gives a speech. "Cry cry, Freedom, mope mope, my girlfriend gave me a cool robot!" Something like that anyway.

Phase 29: Clipshow Hell Part II: Gilbert, Gladys and Gary

Oh joy, another clip episode. This week, we do everything we can to avoid talking about what's going on, like trying to figure out how Kira survived the fight with Athrun (we don't), and speculating on whether or not Durandal was Rau Le Creuset's drug dealer. If that sounds fun give it a listen? Has to be better than actually watching the episode.

Phase 28: I'm a Main Character Too G*******t

This week on Gundam SEED... it's a big one. Shinn gets tired of being sidelined and tries to stand up to Kira... who decides he's going to fly off and scream Athrun's name, like the good ol' days. Someone will die, someone else will die for reasons that don't make the most sense in hindsight, and someone won't die but will get blown up real, real good.

Phase 26: Her Flabber Has Been Ghasted

In this episode of Cowboy Bebop, Lacus and Waltfeld plan a cunning heist to outsmart Meer and ZAFT and steal a shuttle. Will they be able to get away with it before the Sexy Diva realizes what's going on? Unfortunately, this is an episode of Gundam SEED Destiny, and not Cowboy Bebop, so before that, we have to deal with Shinn breaking military protocol and common sense, in order to flashback to the entirety of episode 21. But I promise the Lacus and Waltfeld stuff is real, so listen!

Phase 25: It’s Just Their Brain Trust

We're officially half way through Destiny, and, as though the staff realized how much time they've wasted, we got a banger this week. Kira and Athrun... talk! A lot. Luna watches! Also, Arthur investigates the Scooby-Doo factory with results Shaggy would be proud of, and Stella gets... character development? Give it a listen.

Phase 24: Scoobydooing Their Way Through the Dark Room

Lots of stuff happens this episode, but who cares? There's a traditional Japanese bath house on The Archangel now. How? And why? And who's bathing in it? You have to listen to find out! Yes, you could watch the real episode to find out who's bathing, but how and why sure as hell aren't explained.

Phase 15: I Tried to Hit On the Cute Boy and All I Got was McDonald's

Finally, we get an episode that spends time with all three of our main characters! Athrun finally joins up with the crew of the Minerva. Kira hangs out with his sister and his girlfriend in their cool new submarine. No, it’s not yellow. Shin finds a mysterious portal to the real world giving him access to fast food and magazines. Will this help him chill out?! Listen to find out.

Phase 14: The Wedding Crashers

Finally, the Archangel is underway! Again! Meanwhile, bad purple man is attempting to marry off Cagalli… to himself?! I’m sure that will go great. The only factor he didn’t count on is her super-war-hero brother coming to the rescue in a nuclear powered death robot!

Phase 13: A God Damn Science Lab

Are you ready for Phase 13? Everyone's favorite Jesus is back, and its finally confirmed that he actually has at least some sort or relationship with everyone's favorite pop idol (sorry Meer). Not only that, this episode has a megaman arm and a robot body slamming another robot with crab claws! What's not to love?

Phase 48: End of Days

Well, we’ve finally made it. Powered by the ghosts of his enemies (and some friends), Kira finally defeats the Joker. Also, Cagalli saves Athrun, and everyone lives happily ever after. Except Mu, who just lives ever after. Finally, the long journey has ended, and the seed has blossomed. Into PTSD.

Phase 47: Cagalli Rents a Suit

Things really heat up as we descend into the final moments of the war. Lacus’s seed finally blossoms, Natarle redeems herself, Flay makes some friends, and, most importantly… Cagalli gets a mobile suit! Too bad she only gets to use it for 5 minutes. Join us on this, the penultimate episode, and ride this crazy thing to the end.
