hontou ni sou omou?

Lunamaria Hawke: Shinn returns to the Minerva. Captain Gladys gives him a telling off before throwing him into the brig with Rey. Athrun later has an argument with Shinn while visiting his cell. However Chairman Dullindal absolves Shinn of any punishment or blame and he rubs this into Athrun’s face. The X1 Destroy rampages through Eurasia and we’re… well, actually Shinn… is sent to stop it.

Zyl: This is the ep when I start to really really dislike Shinn. Getting off scot-free for capital military offences has really made his head swell. Now apparently he believes that he has someone who understands, supports and endorses him at the top of the leadership. He also believes that his piloting mojo has earned him some of that support. So he feels that those who don’t agree with him and who are weaker than him, specifically Athrun, no longer have any credibility in his mind. Although he is young, angry (with a very big good reasons to be) and being manipulated, I still don’t like him very much. His dilemmas, given his current situation, are much less trying than those Kira experienced in GS.
