Shinn, stop being an ass. Can't believe he was trying to lecture Athrun. I think I've said this before, but Athrun has been through much more than Shinn ever will, so he doesn't understand what is going on through Athrun's mind. The only compassion he seems to have for is Stella and people he considers his comrades. It's been more than half the show and he's gotten very little character development.

Shinn's style of fighting hasn't changed ever since Athrun hit him a few episodes back.

He's trying to do things that satisfy him and he only shows compassion to people he likes. The rest of the people are either wrong or stupid and deserve to die.

The problem is because Durandal and the crew of the Minerva kept singing him praises. He's gotten arrogant because of that.

Athrun needed a wake up call and I think he got it. Cagalli admitted how useless she has been, and Shinn saved Stella...that won't end well.

Stella and Lacus are by far the best characters.
This show needs more Stella and definitely more Lacus.

(rewatching)

In a recent recap we were reminded that Kira did the exact same thing returning Lacus to ZAFT. Here, Shinn returns Stellar to the earth forces. (oh the parallels!)

Glad to see they continued adding nudity to the show, it's really saving the plot!

I liked this episode. I wish that Stella, Athrun, and maybe Shinn would join the Archangel.

Was that in the original or just added in the remaster I'm currently watching. In any case, Sunrise sure knows their priorities.

Shinn is such a fool but I feel so bad for Stella, I just want to hug her and wish her to live in a kind warm world.

Panty shots and nudity are new to the remaster. You get the enhanced Alex Dino version of the show, with HD panties and tiddies.

The last thing this show needs is more of Stellar and her crazy pseudo Cyber-Newtype ass. Lacus is aight tho

Fuck Shinn, he's like Kamille but with zero character development: a spoiled, angsty, angry and hypocritical little cunt that needs a lesson. Only the people he cares about deserve his sympathy, the rest might as well go die in a fire. The Auel kid he mercilessly killed was a victim of the war just like Stellar, but I sure as fuck didn't see Shinn cry let alone care about his death, yet he fucking knew who he was.
I see what the creators were going for with his character but they fucked up big time by making the MC an unbereable ball of one dimensional angst who's unwilling and unable to grow; you can't help but root against him or wish he weren't there. People shit on Kamille or Eren 24/7 but at least these two show some fucking ability to learn from their mistkes and develop.

And you know what the worst thing is? It's probably gonna get worse.

Wow, Shinn is an asshole. He's gone through multiple life and death experiences with Athrun, covering each other's backs, fighting to save their crewmates onboard the Minerva... and Shinn just shittalks Athrun. When you listen to military vets, they all say the same thing: they treat their comrades and brothers, and shittalking each other like that would be unthinkable.

Shinn was also incredibly stupid returning Stella to the Earth Union. This isn't comparable to Kira returning Lacus - a civilian - to ZAFT, who had good rep and hadn't done anything bad. Shinn was returning a soldier to a pretty evil faction that was almost certainly going to keep abusing her and send her out into battle to kill more of Shinn's buddies until Stella was killed. Shinn had no way of knowing ahead of time that there was a person like Mu who might take care of her. We'll see. I doubt it.

Yeah, rather sad he didn't try to talk and reason with them.

I would want Athrun and Durandal fanservice if the artstyle wasn't hideous.

They need to reduce the flashbacks and recaps.

Beautiful episode. Shinn pisses me off, if he would just drop the act he puts on and confronted himself he'd be okay.

In a world without war, shinn and stellar would probably be a average looking cute couple. I like how neo start talking in soft tone after seeing shinn holding stellar so tightly. (T▽T)
