The relationship between Marina and Setsuna felt more like a mother-son relationship and I barely saw any romantic feelings at all with Feldt, except for the flower she gave him towards the end.
To end the shipping war, I will state some facts which are deliberately true facts about relationships between Setsuna and his bitchesi Marina & Feldt:
Marina Ismail:
1. In episode 21, setsuna dreamt about Marina and her telling him to stop his fighting, with the dessert flower being the symbol of a new hope. The question is, why did Setsuna dream about her, and not Feldt? The theories that have been formed are:
- He sees his mother inside Marina
- He found some attraction to her, (albeit romantically or whatever)
In any case, He didn't dream about Feldt, it was Marina. Plus, he dreamt about her Twice .
2. Setsuna has stated that he found comfort in Marina's song and voice (possibly due to her peaceful nature and seeing his mom inside her) He even hesitated to kill because Marina's Ideals were also implanted to this song, which reminded setsuna of her
3. Mileina once asked if Setsuna and Marina were lovers, which they replied:

"NO" , in which Mileina replies with a http://37.media.tumblr.com/992091529633115b56853e8463d5051a/tumblr_mfd7vsOYJL1r47ezro3_400.gif
But in Soma and Allelujah's case, they replied with a blush.

What does this mean you ask? It means that Mileina's woman intuition was actually right about Setsuna and Marina (based on how they treat each other), it's just that the both of them were so focused on their own goals that they didn't consider about having love in their lives.
- Setsuna with his GUNDAM and war and peace goal
- Marina with her AZADISTAN and war and beace goal.
A kid even asked Marina if she was going to be a bride, which replies No, because she had too different priorities.
3. Marina is the only one who Setsuna told about his past and possibly vice versa. He was open to her, even if they only spent a few times together, unlike Feldt and the Others, who had to work hard for him to open up to them, and that's still not the reason why he opened up to them.
4. He wrote the letter to Marina, even though he lied to Feldt about not sending a letter to anyone, cause he didn't care about anyone (well except marina)
5. (in the manga) Setsuna explained to Tiera that he is fighting for humanity because there is someone that can make even a flower inside him bloom, in which tiera replied that he was really speaking based on his emotions. In this part of the manga, we see Marina looking dearly at the flower, with setsuna also being at the panel, and it looks like he's actually staring at her.
- metaphorically, his sentenced means about peace, but i wanna see it as love ok?
6. The next time he met her, he wanted to hear the children sing. I just found this very romantic, I mean why would he want to hear a group of children sing?
7. The movie. He didn't come back for Feldt, he came back for Marina.
8. In one of the endings of the anime, we see Marina's reflection in the water. Why did i state this? It's because that ending had the 4 boys with their love interest (excluding tiera) (allelujah with Soma, Lockon with Anew), and why would Marina appear at there?
9. At episode 3, on the way to saving allelujah, they show us a scene in why Setsuna is piloting his gundam, while saying MARINA'S name in affectionate and caring tone. Why did I point this out? It's because SUNRISE studios made an anime called "Buddy Complex" (go on, laugh at the title) In which a character named Bizon was romantically attracted to the heroine, Hina. When Hina got lost, Bizon was searching for her, and they gave us a scene where he was piloting his Gundam and also whisphered and said Hina's name affectionately and very similar to how Setsuna said it. In the anime, Bizon is CONFIRMED to have romantic feelings for her, even kissing her.
WHY WOULD SUNRISE ANIMATE THE SAME SCENE WITH SETSUNA AND BIZON? They didn't need to waste anymore paper if it wasn't important.
Feldt:
1. Ok, you guys. Do you remember when Setsuna made that flower shaped thing and you thought it was because of feldt giving the flower to setsuna? Well in theory I don't think that was it. Why?
- He has shown no attraction to her, albeit romantically or anything else.
- If he's not inlove with Marina, it's surely impossible with Feldt, he as shown no hints oftrying to save and care for Feldt.
- The flower has been such a symbol all this time, It was in the dream where he dreamt of Marina, and before the ending of the Movie, he had this astral body which could see people from earth, and at marina's scene a kid is shown giving her a desert flower, which zooms up to setsuna's face (they don't animate these things for nothing guys. It is all scripted)
- Finally, he has such an attachment to this flower AFTER he dreamt about Marina, in this case the desert flower in her oddly resembles a flower named "Marina" http://www.aphotomarine.com/images/marine_plants/plant_spergularia_marina_lesser_sea_spurrey_00_fcu_29-05-05.jpg

2. The romance here is very one-sided. Even in the movie Setsuna showed no attraction at all towards her, feldt is like Sakura and Setsuna is like sasuke, only not emo and manipulative and is not close to her at all. |
