GSD Ep1

Gundam Seed Destiny is a continuation of Gundam Seed as per Zeta is to the Original Kidou Senshi Gundam.

Since it's a sequel series,the begining sequence is a flashback sequence to C.E 71.It's about the New protagonist, Shin.One which his family were all killed when a stray beam hits them.It's not really obvious if it was from Kira's Freedom Gundam but to some sense Kira is suppose to be 'that one'.

Ignited OP sequence is a standard teaser material and actually made to resemble the Invoke OP used in Gundam Seed.

Then we fast forward to the present C.E. 74 , where Cagalli and Athrun paid a secret visit to Gilbert Durandal at L4 PLANT.Cagalli wanted Gilbert to stop recruiting ORB refugees for their War Efforts.Knowing that talking isn't going to turn her round, he led them to the hangar bays, where the most of talents from ORB are at.

Meanwhile, Shin got a handful of Stellar when he bumped into when she spin out of control when she was pretending to be Four from Zeta Gundam.It's odd and to some sense I thought Stellar was suppose to be the sane one when all her two other buddies had extremely weird fashion sense.A car picked Stellar and gang up and of course we know what is going to happen.EA wants to get even with ZAFT for what happened the last time.Unlike the last time round, EA outdone them, stealing 3 Gundams with just 5 people.

All hell break lose as the hijacked Gundam begin to attack the weapon storage facilities around.Most of the MS there are helpless as everyone was preparing for the ceremonial launch of Minerva.Gilbert ordered one of his man to led his guests to safety.That poor chap was unlucky so Cagalli and Athrun had to find their own way out.Pilot instinct out weights common sense some how and instead of going for safety,Athrun and Cagalli ends up in the latest Cannon Fodder unit called Zaku Warrior.Either Athrun thinks this had the cloaking device Nicole had for Blitz or he was just itching for a fight and so it didn't take them a second before Gaia spots the Zaku.This is the 1st episode afterall and whenever you had an ACE pilot in a Cannon Fodder, you get a striking tough bitch to handle.It wasn't long before someone realised that Stellar is having a tough time with that Zaku and it became a 2 v 1.Just as Athrun got cornered, Shin appeared with Impulse Core Splendor and gave Chao a warning shot.Impulse was merged and it's up to him to run the show now!

The Episode ends with a close up on Gilbert looking at Impulse Gundam on the monitor.
"Why do you still want to fight?Why!!" as Shin charges into battle

It's quite the usual content for a pilot episode of Gundam.Nothing new or striking, just out to start the ball rolling.

The OP/ED is more controvesial as there are 2 Lacus featured.


Some people said that it's just Lacus in 2 costumes.I see something else actually.



I read from somewhere that Lacus B is an imposter.Oh that's sounds good actually because there are Lacus crazed fans who threatened to stop watching Gundam Seed Destiny because she got more womanly curves in it.Haha.Crazy fans.
