You know, he could've survived if Mu beat the shit out of him the first time he acted out of line. Even the pianist, 15 years old may have survived by cause and effect.
It's kind of interesting now that I think about it that Nicol's death was retconned into being an accident, but Tolle's death wasn't. I guess because Athrun was still an antagonist at that time.

Yeah it's a bit reckless in hindsight sending out a volunteer fresh out of simulation training into battle with seasoned ZAFT piloted mobile suits.
It did receive the reanimation treatment, only for it to be more gruesome with the shield impact being animated to show Tolle's head being pinched off from its impact.

Massive? SEED did ok, but it was fleeting and quick and nowhere near Wing's popularity a few years prior. Destiny didn't even air on US tv only in Canada.

I dunno about Wing but SEED was as well known as Bleach and Deathnote in Canada thanks to Friday night cable. If you'd ask about Gundam there to normies only SEED comes to mind.
