It's Episode 6 of our Gundam SEED Destiny recap! Kevin joins us for The End of the World (because this was the week we recorded the Jump Start on Sweet Rein, which was a wild ride), while Athrun joins Dearka and Yzac for the high school reunion none of them wanted.
Phase 04: Philosophize a Teenager into a Robot
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.
Phase 43: Full Mark Hamill
Things are really coming to a head as the Joker decides to confess his motivation to his “twin” brother, and also that Kira kid I guess. Yzak and Dearka finish up their reunion to mutual dissatisfaction, and Natarle’s proving her mettle, despite Azrael’s back seat captaining. Flay’s about to be relevant again! But only for a minute. Also, I’m going to claim that I called the Mu/Rau clone thing, because close enough.
Phase 42: The Pledge, The Turn, The Rauveal
Here at the Mendel Colony, we specialize in genetic experimentation and melodrama! Gaze in wonder at the masked gentleman’s nebulous relationships! Be baffled by the specially engineered (but never explained) powers of bullshit the SEED! Gaze on as two angsty teenagers grow into slightly less shitty people!
Phase 35: Mu Called Dibs
Phase 31: Trial By Liar
Now that the Archangel has finally landed and everyone’s had some time to decompress, everything’s going to go swimmingly, right? Well, Murrue’s getting court-martialed, Kira’s being mopey, and Yzak is smoldering, so it’s pretty much business as usual. Now, if only we could see about getting Dearka some more guards.
Phase 26: Yzak's Sweet Raps
Phase 24: My Feelings Are This Gun
After some amazing fighter cross-classing, Kira sees the Archangel to Orb, leading to a “surprising” plot twist! Everyone’s pretty tired, even the ZAFT crew, but that’s mostly because Yzak has been dishing sick burns all day. They head off to scheme about how to get some sweet civilian jumpsuits while the Archangel crew negotiate… for their LIVES! And also asylum, I guess.
