Phase 35: Buy None of Their Playsets or Toys

Shinn went and did a murder on Athrun's best friend, and now Athrun is upset about it! Will this be enough for him to regain his main character status? Or will Rey be able to gaslight him into thinking Kira dying is a good thing? And will Shin do an introspection? Or will he have to be punched in the face instead? And who will get the two new shiny Gundams with the words "For Main Characters Only" inscribed on their head? And which one of them has the devil number for its model number? For provoking so many questions, this sure is a boring episode, but listen anyway!

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 31: He Did a Treason, But It's Fine

This week, the Riddler's here to ask us all an important question: when is treason not a crime? Apparently, when your name is Shinn Asuka. Or Athrun Zala for that matter. Plus, Milly is incredulous about the existence of a hot springs on the Archangel, and half-dead Stella gets a big Dalek-shaped Christmas present from Neo Roanoke. Check it out.

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 27: Clearly He's Too Shonen to Betray You

Lacus Clyne is in space, and a bunch of teenagers talk about what they want to do. To try and make things interesting, we speculate on what Rey's blogging about, other possible nicknames for Andrew Waldfelt, and whether or not the Hawke sisters are emotional vampires.

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 22: At War, Separately, Together

It's been a while, but we're back with style. Spice style! We find out from the cool new orange guy on the team how bad ZAFT is at military structure. We also talk about how long it would take to rebuild your navy after a war as huge as the one that happened 2 years ago, and, yet again, it doesn't look good. Also Minority Report! Don't miss it!

Phase 21: Comedy of Errors

It's episode 21 of Destiny. Finally, we learn which characters took the "Swim" skill and which figured it was just a waste of points! Bemused and annoyed Athrun is nearly best Athrun, but victim-in-a-sex-comedy Athrun barely beats him out! We get both in this episode, plus Zach hates something. Listen and find out what it is!

Phase 20: Clipshow Hell Part I: This is Just Trees

It's finally here, the very first clip episode of Gundam SEED Destiny. Can our brave, valiant hosts make funny comments throughout an entire episode of content they've already seen? Will the return of Ghost Dad be enough novelty to see them through? And if they can't, how are they going to deal with the clip episodes to come?

Phase 19: Happy Rey Should Not Exist

Somebody's happy on this week's podcast! I just wish it was one of the hosts! Durandal corners the crew of The Minerva with a surprise concert, that's definitely headlined by the real Lacus Clyne. Meer Campbell? Never heard of her? Durandal then forces the pilots to listen to his TED Talk, where he reveals the true enemy of all mankind: capitalism.

Phase 18: The Difference Between Whining and Complaining

On this episode of It's A Gundam, one of us whines, and one of us complains! It's an episode that showcases the Impulse Gundam, so I bet you can't guess who! Also Athrun does some verbal sparring with Shinn, and Arthur fails to justify his inclusion in the cast! Not to mention there are driders. Give it a listen!
