Watching SEED Freedom for the first time, wtf was this quick shot all about???

>>23323898 (OP)
Wait for Freedom Zero whenever it comes out.

>>23323898 (OP)
It's in the dialogue of the movie. The Strike Freedom was stolen prior to the Seed Freedom movie and they helped recover it. The upcoming prequel movie is supposed to cover this.

>>23323898 (OP)
I bloody hate speedwatchers. Pay attention.

>>23324396
Speed watchers? These mother fuckers are straight up just not watching anything because they're too busy swiping down or left or whatever faggot social media shit people do on their phone.

>>23323915
>The upcoming prequel movie is supposed to cover this.

I don't blame them because it's only mentioned once and then given a quick out of context flashback. We still don't know exactly what it was for and why, only speculation. Like people speculate it was so Foundation could get their hands on Strike Freedom for a few days to get a look it to make Orphee's version but that's just speculation at this point

>>23326141
The G Gen thing is SEED Recollections. It takes place between SEED and Destiny. Also it sucks.

>>23326481
Pretty much. All it really does is explain why Canaver was outed and Durandal took over so quickly.

>>23326481
>>23326490
So how does that happen? Did Durandal pull a shifty again?

>>23326509
she finishes the peace negotiations between PLANT and EA, and then resigns

the seat is empty for durandal to take

>>23326525
Specifically she gives Plant a raw deal in the negotiations in order to keep the peace with Earth then resigns to take responsibility for the choice

>>23326525
Makes sense, but a bit boring.

The worst thing about the Recollections this is that it says the TSA recovered the wrecked Strike and restored it with Strike Rouge's parts to make the new Strike Variant, but apparently they never found Mu in any of this.

>>23326509
She pushed through unpopular concessions in order to secure peace with Lacus's help. She had no political future after that. Given, she was basically a stand-in who only took power by default after Zala's death caused his faction to all but fall apart.

>>23326602
No, it they did recover the Strike wreck, but he's piloting Strike Rogue in Strike colors.

>>23326525
>she gives Plant a raw deal in the negotiations in order to keep the peace with Earth
As much discontent it might generate among the elite and some radicals among the populace, PLANT was in no way capable of further pursuing the war with the Earth Alliance. It's a basic, very pragmatic reality. If they had rejected the proposal and settled matters on the battlefield to look for a "better deal under a position of strength", both sides would've gone back to CE 70 and fight a stalemate indefinitely.
While disadvantageous, the proposal at least preserved PLANT's independence and its armed forces. And it's backed up by a neutral party.

Also, taking responsibility for a deal and its consequences is Leadership 101.

>>23326609
No it just has a Rouge spare head, which is why the eyes are green, but it uses the original Strike's body hence why it doesn't have Cagalli's mark on it. She took the original Rouge with her back to Earth.

>>23326602
Actually yeah, that's fucking retarded. Effortlessly rebuilding the Strike after getting hit by a positron cannon is stupid, like it implies being hit by fucking anti-matter wasn't really that destructive in the first place. Not being able to find Mu is weird, unless they're also implying that the EA already scooped up Mwu's remains to rebuild Shepard, I mean Mwu.

It would have been so much better if they just said that Cagalli lent her Strike Rouge to Kira to use while Cagalli heads back to Orb. It would also help to justify how quickly Kira reprogrammed the Strike Rouge to become blue again, because it was already customized for his use previously and he's just loading those settings again.

Rebuilding the Strike also comes with the question of what did they do with the Strike after Kira was done testing the DRAGOON pack, just scrap it?

>>23326696
It's pointed out that Kira really fucks up the joints with every sortie because he's long surpassed it and he's only using it because Freedom is still a wreck post SEED and they didn't have the capability to repair it in their little hiding spot but did have a ton of spare Strike parts. So yeah they might have scrapped it once Kira didn't need it anymore. Or they sent it to the same place Duel and Buster ended up in.

>like it implies being hit by fucking anti-matter wasn't really that destructive in the first place
Anon, remember that Akatsuki was able to point-blank tank a Requiem shot that was powerful enough to obliterate a major metropolitan area from the moon.

>what did they do with the Strike after Kira was done testing the DRAGOON pack, just scrap it?
Probably used to develop Strike Freedom.

>It's pointed out that Kira really fucks up the joints with every sortie because he's long surpassed it
It's been what? Four months since he switched back? No, I don't want to hear the "Amuro was a monster pilot that surpassed the RX-78 by A Baoa Qu", because it's the same sort of asinine, hero-fluffing bullshit.

>Or they sent it to the same place Duel and Buster ended up in.
Boaz is still hot after the EA's nuclear attack.

>>23326885
>Anon, remember that Akatsuki was able to point-blank tank a Requiem shot that was powerful enough to obliterate a major metropolitan area from the moon.

Akatsuki has special BS magical armor. It's stupid but justified. Strike was just a regular Mobile suit with only the basic Phase Shift armor.

>>23326885
While true, keep in mind Kira's entire fighting style changed when he got Freedom and started focusing on high speed acrobatics for pin point disabling hits. The Strike probably couldn't handle that kind of stress nearly as well, but Kira's not about to dumb down his fighting style and not be Jesus. One of the cutscenes even has Lacus mention Kira spared all of what's her face's pilots as an attempt to get her to stand down.

>Boaz is still hot after the EA's nuclear attack.

True but it could have been put aside to be stuck there later once it cooled down. Remember after the treaty is confirmed Kira and Lacus return to Orb and don't fight again for another year at which point Freedom had been repaired. Eternal probably unloaded it somewhere for storage and the Lacus faction put it together with the Boaz arsenal later on.

>>23326696
The funny thing is within like 3 months of SEED's finale, they've restored the Strike, built a new pack for it, completely repaired Eternal and replaced the Meteor Cruset blew up, yet Freedom is still a charred one armed on legged torso.

Foundation existing is a bigger asspull than Gundam Unicorn.

>Inb4 we get Freedom Impulse as the testbed for the Proud Defender

>>23326624
It's not Cagalli's strike rogue but it's super obvious it's just a spare strike rogue despite what its profile says. I think Lacus even calls it the strike rogue when he's going out with the new dragoon striker for the first time

>>23329312
>Freedom is still a charred one armed on legged torso.
Well it is the single most advanced piece of machinery they own. Teh Meteor is just a miniature ship at the end of the day. The Freedom is all that packed into a MS

Dragoon Strike may appear in Seed Freedom Zero I think.
