How do you feel about Athrun?

He's a fag.

I think id respect him more if he where actually gay and actually in love with Kira instead of his stupid fujo shipping puppy dog tendencies

While I watched SEED I began to think how much better things would be if Athrun was the main characters, and how that would at least make a very formulaic Gundam series a bit more interesting.

Then Destiny happened.

I know anime in general is rife with friendships that border on homoerotic, but man. Athrun and Kira seemed super gay.

Like, all the pictures they have of each other. And how they almost seemed more obsessed with each other than they did either of their love interests.

I remember years ago when Seed first started on CN there was a fapfic up. Since the show had barely started I didn't know the characters personalities and in the fic Athrun got drunk, dressed Kira up in Flay's clothes and fucked him. It seemed likely considering how much the longed for each other.

>>13969317
>Like, all the pictures they have of each other. And how they almost seemed more obsessed with each other than they did either of their love interests.
Kira and Lacus sleep in separate rooms after he calls out Athrun's name during sex.

Athrun and Cagalli's relationship went on the rocks because Athrun wanted her to die her hair brown and wear purple contacts.

Prove to me that didn't happen!

>>13969330

I think it honestly would've made things a bit more tragic and powerful had Athrun and Kira been a couple or something.

>>13969348

I really, reallylike this image.

>>13969364

They're basically the two dudes from I Love You, Phillip Morris.

>>13969318

Because they were trying to give him the Quattro vibe like in Zeta of suddenly focusing on the previous series secondary character, only to realize they didn't really know what to do with him in their grand plan of making the old and new casts fight each other.

It doesn't help that his main motivation for getting back into the fight amounts to nothing because we never hear from the neo Zala faction ever again, making his desire to rejoin Zaft to stop those guys look entirely pointless.

>>13969362
There's fapfic where Athrun knocks Kira up, and Durandal forces Shinn and Rey to sneak super vitamins into his food so that his super coordinator baby will be super-er.

There's fapfic where Shinn is in a bicycle gang and rapes Kira.

There's fapfic where Kira's dick grows an inch every time he has sex with someone.

There's fapfic where everyone is a pirate, and Shinn gets raped by prostitutes, and Kira and Shinn are pretending to be gay so no one will know they're half-brothers, and Rey makes pirate captain Kira marry him and Shinn.

There's fapfic where Yzak slits his wrists with a credit card.

SEED fapfic is a dark place.

>>13969386
I am not surprised, considering both SEEDs came out during the Emo boom.

Would even say it "seemed" that way, that was exactly what happened.

>>13969408
Here's the pirate one. I think the rest were on adultfanfiction.net; I'll see if I can find them.

>>13969438
Wow, adultfanfiction.net doesn't even exist anymore. A lot of good shit has been lost, /m/, like the fic where Heero gets raped by a wolf.

I did find the dick growing one, which, I have to say, is a fucking fantastic piece of literature: http://anime2.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=544194358

There's a reason why the (now former) president of Bandai said they needed to create a new fanbase after Destiny.

>>13969383
ATHRUN'S COUNTER ATTACK movie when?

I think Destiny proved that Athrun would be a horrible father.

>Refuses to tell anyone that he's friends with Kira.
>All the Minerva crew know is that the Freedom totaled Savior and almost killed Athrun.
>Shinn and Rey spend all night practicing to defeat the Freedom, and Athrun has no idea because he doesn't give a shit about his subordinates.
>Shinn narrowly defeats Kira, and tells Athrun that he avenged both of them.
>Athrun punches Shinn in the face.
>Explains nothing.
>Leaves.

>>13970013

Everyone but Shinn already knew he was friends with him for the most part.

Shinn just seemed to be almost hilariously ignorant as to the truth of the last war for some reason. He's barely even heard of Freedom even though it was at the battle where he lost everything and he saw it.

For that matter nobody on Minerva really seems to think twice about the legendary heroes of the last war who wrecked everyones shit in to keep everyone from dying doing the same thing again, beyond "Wow fuck those guys for not helping us"

At no point does anyone on Minerva (except presumably Rey) think "You know if Freedom and AA is opposing us something is seriously wrong here"

They really did not write that well at all.

>>13970013
You can chalk up the PAWNCH thing to Japan's favoritism for corporal punishment as a form of discipline.
Everything else is spot-on about Athrun's lack of officer capabilities.

>>13970027
Punishment over what? He was doing his mission of taking the third power who kept being a ass to them whnever they fought someone

>>13970024
>At no point does anyone on Minerva (except presumably Rey) think "You know if Freedom and AA is opposing us something is seriously wrong here"

Or, you know, not bending over and giving the guy who aggros them a rim job. Seriously, Kira's first intervention he starts by shooting the Minerva's cannon and killing it's crewmembers. All while the Minerva is fighting the guys who tried to nuke the PLANTS.

Let's not forget how Athrun's response to Shinn pleading for an explanation as to why he and Meyrin just defected was "LADIDAH I'M NOT TELLING".

All of Destiny could have been avoided if Athrun wasn't so incompetent at talking to people.

>>13970092
>All of Destiny could have been avoided if Athrun wasn't so incompetent at talking to people.
See >>13969240

>>13970013

No, I thought Athrun punched Shin because he was doing a victory dance about killing Kira.

>>13970024

Also, what the fuck was Athrun doing on the Minerva? He was an officer but he wasn't doing anything useful.

>>13970048
I always interpreted that scene as
>FUCKING IDIOT! NEVER TAKE ON THE ENEMY ON YOUR OWN! THIS ISN'T COD, FOR FUCKSSAKES! GOD, WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THE ACADEMY THESE DAYS

>>13970092
>Let's not forget how Athrun's response to Shinn pleading for an explanation as to why he and Meyrin just defected was "LADIDAH I'M NOT TELLING".

That scene is extra retarded because it's Rey channeling a serial killer war criminal versus Athrun, and Shinn chooses Rey.

>>13970117
Shinn was super pumped because he just defeated an extremely difficult opponent. Everyone in the hangar bay with him was just as excited. And then Athrun punches Shinn and kills the mood.

Incidentally the fact that was everyone was so happy is all the proof you need that Athrun never told anyone on the ship that he was friends with the Freedom's pilot.

>>13970176
Didn't Shinn know that Kira was his friend at that point?
Not that punching him was any excuse.

>>13970202
>>13970202

I assumed they knew since Lacus, Kira, and Athrun are basically space royalty/the Beatles/the UN.

The whole thing of Athrun joining ZAFT because Durandal asked him to is incredibly half-assed.

>>13970202
Even if he knew he should still feel pumped along with his comrads, he took down the greatest pilot they knew about, that itself was a great accomplishment

>>13969230
why are there so many seed/destiny threads all of a sudden?
are people really that bored of IBO?

>>13970233

Why would he feel pumped about Shinn killing his friend who he knew very well wasn't a bad guy and wasn't trying to kill Shinn, and who was based on Berlin finally starting to come around to being sympathetic to their side.

Athrun was front and center when former enemies joined together to save the world two years prior. He'd never be happy they wasted a potential ally against Logos. Former actions be damned since he and Kira had done plenty of harm to each other and still were able to work things out in Seed.

>>13970359
I was talking about Shinn and Athrun could be depressed over losing a friend and that would alright, he shouldn't try to take it out on Shinn who took vengeance over the death of his family

>>13970370
>Shinn who took vengeance over the death of his family

Except not because Shinn didn't see anything and doesn't remember Freedom when it first showed up.

>>13970382
We know, but he still blamed him for the death of his family and that moment was his release from a decade long grudge, he was feeling actually free for the first time in his life

>>13970387
>We know,

If you knew you would know that the rest of your post is nonsense.

If he didn't see and doesn't remember Freedom being there than he can't blame it for the death of his family now can he?

Also a decade? It was two years prior. A decade would mean Kira was 9 during the events of Seed.

You are either the biggest idiot on this board, which is really saying something or you are well aware what you're saying is bullshit.

Either way fuck off.

Think about it. These were both big shows back in the day and look at them now. Even Sunrise knows how gay Kira and Athrun come off for each other. The homoerotic undertones are one of the more remembered aspects of the show a decade later.

Then, we look at He-Man. We're not going to see it the same as kids in the 80's did, we're going to be making jokes about accidental innuendo and the like.

>>13984128
Was He-Man ever not gay as fuck?

No, that's different. He-Man was not gay at the time it was made, it's just gay now.

Like Top Gun.

the guy who actually loves Lacus. That bit in ep 39 where he had to remind Kira how important Lacus was is a big hint on what they can do for a movie

It involves Athrun blaming Kira for failing to protect her

>>13984830

I dunno, I'd say Top Gun is pretty gay no matter what time you come from.

Warriors, camaraderie and good ol' homoeroticism have always gone hand-in-hand.

We already saw how lame Kira vs Athrun is after them settling their issues in Seed in Destiny. Why does everyone insist on a freaking Athrun's Counterattack?

Is there any reason beyond dur he must go the way of Char because Seed HAS to be like UC?

bonus points for me and Lacus having tea parties on his dreams

>>13985212
Actually, doing a Flay and Lacus as representations of his totally shattered mental state would be awesome. Have them discuss things Dorothy & Relena style in his mind as he fights.

>Fllay: kill them. Kill them all! What have they ever done but caused you pain? Blow off their heads, ravage their women, paint murals of me with their blood.
>Lacus: That is not the nice. Kira-kun, why are you becoming like Zala-sama and Durandal-domo? This is not you.
>Fllay: Ignore her! Get them! Get them all! Asrael did nothing wrong!

>>13985227

it's thematically correct, though, as they are just figments of his rekt mind. The actual ghosts would probably worried.

>>13985234
She's had a lot of time to get sour again as a space ghost.

Also, she's a figment of his imagination, not necessarily Fllay herself. C.E. Newtypism is pretty underdeveloped {thank god}, so we can't necessarily base anything they'd say off their real personalities. Instead, it'd be limited to how Kira remembers and interprets his time with them.

>>13985239
would probably be worried* Lacus would probably beg Kira to let go of it already and meet them in the afterlife.
