Seed mode basically turns him into a super soldier, or a berserker without the risk of friendly fire. Basically, you don't want to be an enemy near him.

1st. WOAH! Flay,you whore! :O Though I'm happy that Kira got laid. GJ,soldier!

2nd. I'm in serious danger of starting to like Flay. I have a weakness for psycho bitches xD And she looked pretty sexy with her hair down and that sad/nostalgic facial expression.

3rd. The Captain's boobs were all bouncy in this episode. *strongly approves*

Yup, with some added sex scenes a bit more detailed in the HD remaster lol.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

What. I found Flay annoying before, but really now? I officially hate her...even if her hate and anger against ZAFT is understandable, I can't believe she is selling herself so that she can "control" him. And the only way she can forgive him is if he keeps on fighting for them? That's messed up. She apparently forgets that she (and everyone else on Archangel) is only alive because Kira decided to help and protect everyone. He's already done more than enough. Even if I don't particularly like Kira that much either, I at least acknowledge his effort and the pain he goes through. Except now's not the time to pick a fight with Sai...

A lot of hate for Flay from what I know. Ya, they slept together and she is basically a nut right now. Episode was alright for me but felt like another mindfuck.

I'm actually kinda interested to see how her character will develop later on, even with what she has become now up to this episode.

Flay has gone from psycho to....I don't know what. I really really am starting to hate her but I slightly pity her.

I fully pity Kira as he just can't seem to get a break at all.

ha ha, I wasn't understanding Flay but now I totally get the method to her madness. Safest place in the galaxy is between the arms of the most alpha coordinator pilotin the ultimate machine. It's refreshing to have a character that's so deliciously flawed yet at the same time quite realistic in an anime. And Kira, well at least he gets to sleep with the hot girl he used to like to release steam. It's pure biology.

We finally get to the desert tiger arc. I always though Andrew was a bit of an oddball. And he's also a bit of a coffee nut.

When I first saw this episode I was surprised that Kira would actually go for a girl like Flay, but he is under a lot of stress so maybe he's not exactly thinking straight.

And I hate what Kira did to Sai. He basically slept with his fiancee. That's not true friend behavior Kira.

A good episode, the plot that advances both in the mainstream and in the relationship between Kira and Flay.
No surprise that she wants to control it using the loophole of sex, but in his naivete of girl still not mature, forget the real reasons why Kira is fighting.
Not bad storytelling, very credible. Drawings and animations pretty good.
However, it was too short this episode, was to last longer.

Damn, Kira's moral compass is a roulette wheel. For the first 9 episodes, he's whining about fighting a war, and panicking at the fact that he blasted someone. Episodes 10-12, he gets conflicted, now, meh, blasting people to bits is totally fine with him now, and he's getting pretty hasty about going into combat, all in the span of less than 2 weeks. Damn Flay. Sleeping with him just to satisfy your own psychotic revenge... Demon Witch.

I LOVE FLAY! Not only is she hot, she makes Seed that much more interesting and better. YEAH! Bend that Kira to your little pinky, you will fight and die for me! Kira it's all your fault you got that? Kira has that guilt sentiment, and I'm sure he's ready to make it up to Flay. With Flay, I agree with her that this is how Kira should make it up to her and be forgived. And at least Flay giving Kira free hot sex as small reward <3

I'm just re-watching this on vanilla version and now it made me curious more about the HD remaster version...

Will definitely look for that after I'm done re-watching this whole series.

The sex scene was completely unexpected, but an action that makes sense for flay's manipulation plan, in fact Kira has become more ruthless in combat and with his general behaviour, as stated by Ramius.
All to make flay feel protected, making Kira become more and more a killing machine.
Also not a really cool action for Kira to sleep with his friend's ex girlfriend, didn't liked it.

All these years later and this is till my favorite episode of SEED. Kira the ace is here, before he does the pacifist thing, but after the whininess. I love that teamwork is what saved the archangel.

I've had more than enough time to get over Zoids ending up in a Gundam anime.

The Flay stuff is bittersweet, especially considering what the story does with her as a character.

Most importantly, what Strike does with the Launcher is 100% Gundam ACE level shit. It doesn't matter if it's futile. Shooting down 6 supersonic shells isn't something a regular pilot can do. Plus the way that scene is composed will keep me coming back to this episode for years to come.
