[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED] What the hell is Dragoon Strike…?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

It was definitely Kira who made it.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can Kira use Dragoon?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

Isn’t there the Striker Freedom?

I modified a model that could be used by people without spatial awareness for my needs, but in the end, it became unusable for those without spatial awareness.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

Because I was taught by Kruze.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Strike Freedom is equipped with Dragoons, it’s a prelude to the freedom.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I didn’t think it was totally strange to just throw it on the Strike Freedom without any prior preparation… but of all places, you really want to put it there?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Wasn’t it peaceful for two years, Lacus?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It was that time when I was just repeatedly moving the spoon up and down, right?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>8

Riding freedom has further reinforced that it calms me down.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Are they really going to let Kira, in a depressed state, use the Dragoon that Crusade used?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s ride Shin… Shin.

As long as it’s Aslan, that’s fine.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

>>11

Shin? Who is Shin, Kira?

Aslan is currently with Kagrri-san as Alex.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shin is still a student, and Aslan is busy with the Murakumo test.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

A test of the remote beam cannon that buried Furay… for Kira?

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Do your best, Kira-kun, for the late Mu-san.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will the strike be overused again?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>16

Strike was blown up along with Major Fraga.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you throw them into the enemy territory on a strike, they’ll probably feel energized.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if a strike with battery-powered phase shift armor and dragoon has any practicality…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

That’s why the major general would use it.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

The test pilot is Kira Yamato.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

I’ve packed plenty of spare batteries, a total of 16, so I feel secure.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe it’s something that connects to Akatsuki. Please do your best.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, the only main character I feel I could handle and has some time is probably Kira.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Come to think of it, there was an Akatsuki doing something reckless like using a battery-powered machine with a Dragoon.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a timing that makes it impossible to use nuclear engines right after the treaty is activated.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Human effort is always just going for it, so go ahead.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Mu should be alive… let’s search for him and take him with us, Lacus.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx40

>>28

It is very unfortunate, but there are no humans alive who have been directly hit by the Lohengrin.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Akatsuki is golden and doesn’t consume battery for its armor, so it can carry dragoons, right?

As for the strike… maybe a battery boost…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

The power pack is really stuck on.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can I design MS…?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not surprising that there is certainly a progression from Strike to Akatsuki.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

No one will notice even if one more MSV of SEED is added.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the Union has the Mobius Zero unit, I thought there would be some people in Orb who could handle it too.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

There’s a theory that the story of Kira becoming definitively exhausted serves as a prelude to the fate of seeds, which is both funny and not funny.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not like I’m saying you should ride this and fight something.

Yes, probably for sure.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t the Dragoon Striker just something like a poorly attached rifle from Providence, Lacus…?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

It’s just a group that was created on its own.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are too many variations of the Strike, Lacus…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Strike is popular, so it can’t be helped.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

There are over 26 types of F90 seniors, so there’s still a long way to go.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, I have properly let Kira rest during this time until now.

I was surprised even though it’s now too late.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Major Fraga fought with a perfect strike, so the battery is a trivial issue.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Strike is useful for the base body, you see.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey, don’t you think of me like Doraemon, who will do anything if you ask?

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

It’s more convincing to have gone through this once here than to use the Strike Freedom’s Dragoons in a live situation without any preparation.

Well, if it’s a super coordinator, it seems they could manage it even on the spot.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>47

I honestly thought it would be a trial by fire.

It’s just that when I first used the Dragoons with the Strike Freedom, it wasn’t stable.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is all because the strike you embarked on burned the brains of both friends and foes.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Soon, a test version of the Yata no Kagami strike will be made.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

Isn’t it unnecessary for there to be someone inside, Lacus?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

Isn’t that already dawn?

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Aslan is a new variation of the Murakumo and is calm.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>50

Well, after seeing the Z’Gok, everything else looks plain.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Federation is staging a demonstration against letting a filthy Coordinator pilot the hero’s MS, Strike, which made a great stand against ZAFT, Kira.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t there something like that in the Gundam Seed side story?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

There is an eclipse.

They had a new model of the orb there.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is right up my alley.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like Akatsuki itself was a prototype, right?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s unfortunate that it’s confirmed that enemies will appear, not just testing.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey Lacus, since this hasn’t appeared since Destiny, I suppose it’s safe to say that there are defects after all.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>60

It’s in English, isn’t it…?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The eye color is different!

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

Is it because the base figure is Rouge that the eye color is green?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that he borrowed Rouge in Destiny means this guy is going to break, doesn’t it?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

The camera eye is green, so isn’t the main body also rouge?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dragoon Strike… I was wondering what that was.

Since there is already Akatsuki in Orb, does that mean the Dragoon technology itself exists?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

Doesn’t that mean that Akatsuki was completed because there is a Dramastore in reverse?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just because it changed color, is it not rouge?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the Dragoon was developed based on this aircraft.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s quite flawed to operate seriously with only eight battery packs.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

So you were a dragoon, which means you were launched into space during that time and became a test pilot, possibly getting caught up in something, Brigadier General…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I guess they made repairs up to the Super Dragoon of the Strike Freedom despite the defects.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Finding defects and being able to choose not to use them in Destiny was also part of the experimental machine’s role.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though there was a prospect of recovery, is it going to end up with me pushing myself too hard and crossing the line, so I should just quietly rest now?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The main body of Akatsuki was completed in ’71, but it’s said that the armaments were delayed, so that setting might be picked up.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know! Such a weapon! That’s how you feel, huh, Raks?

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I feel like it could work pretty well as a supplementary MS, since it also serves to explain the mysterious Dragoon that suddenly appeared in Shiranu.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the first half is mainly about Kira and the second half is mainly about Athrun.

Kira is really at his limit… As Aslan gets fired up, thinking he can’t let him fight any longer, it feels like he’s just going in circles, like in Seed Destiny.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Prototype of the Dreadnought?

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have a feeling that this story might not have a very good ending.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>81

I will make you carry those wounds in your heart, just like at the beginning of Destiny.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the Allied side was also developing all-range radio weapons, so it wasn’t unique technology.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing because it will become the missing link that connects Rouge (with glitter specifications), Shiranu, and Kira’s dragoon technology.

I’m curious about the “Kira” at this time, though.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Between SEED and DESTINY…?

Wasn’t I supposed to be depressed and shut in?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

It might be the story of “you becoming depressed and isolating yourself.”

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, it means that there are events that can decisively lead to depression.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it related not only to the last battle of the original but also to this story that Lux was a bit reluctant to reveal the key to open Freedom’s hatch in Destiny?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, Destiny was fighting without any elements for recovery from depression.

It’s not unusual to suddenly start feeling depressed.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

The ending goes, “There is a world that I want to protect until the last moment!!”, so I feel that it would be more in line with the essence of the series if it ends up breaking later on.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>100

But after that, I was feeling really down, wondering why we ended up in a place like this…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hello, Kagari?

Are you trying to get me into an MS while I’m sane these days?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

Sometimes you need to go outside; it’s bad for your body if you don’t!

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s no doubt that dying in front of Frey would drain my energy…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is this Cosmic Illar Azum that looks like this, Rax?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

If there are Zaku, Gouf, Dom, and Gelgoog, it wouldn’t be surprising to have an Azum as well.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could this be a story about worsening depression?

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, I was able to have a proper conversation with Furei over there, wasn’t I?

I thought it was a one-way street for both of us.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>94

Kira… you seem to be tired.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Frei and Kruz seem to appear as illusions in the scenario.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

I will protect you!!

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

What face are you saying that with?

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>105

Wrinkled!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shiranui, should I just kill off the crew that didn’t show up when it became Destiny…?

The maintenance worker uncle and Chandra the Second.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

Both of them are in Seed Destiny.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

Even in freedom, I’m still here properly.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

I’m glad you’re alive, Kira.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

After that battle, you really felt like getting back in the cockpit, didn’t you, Kira?

It’s a bit strange for me to say this, but I, who have hidden freedom underground…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a situation where I had no choice but to get on…

Sitting in the cockpit somehow makes me feel at ease.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Akatsuki is in a half-finished state without weapons or Yata at the seed point, it’s natural for Shiranu’s predecessor to appear.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Super Robot Wars where Frey is safe and the destiny timeline continues as is, Kazzy hasn’t dropped out of AA either, right?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would be fine to have someone else ride the Serpent Tail instead of me.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

That person is said not to be able to handle dragoons, you know, at this time.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

As for the Dragoon, that’s one thing, but where did you get the Strike from…?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

There should be some lipstick lying around there.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

Isn’t it because your eyes are green, like a rouge?

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s still a time to see if we can use the power extender, using the dragoon with a battery.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

There’s an amazing backup battery loaded in the back, so why can Akatsuki use it as is?

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

Although there are advancements in technology, Akatsuki doesn’t use PS armor, so it seems to have a relatively abundant energy supply.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>112

Is the power extender already equipped on the Rouge…?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Strike is free material.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

It seems like they think all the engineers in this world are free resources…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it was good to talk about the strike performance demonstration test by Actaion Corporation, right?

I wonder why you pull me out.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>116

Everyone can’t use the dragoon!

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s polite and has green eyes, it’s probably Rouge.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

Give it a try! If I can do it, there’s no way you can’t do it!

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Freedom is heavily damaged during this time, and I am secretly repairing it.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kruze is also pleased behind the scenes.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, it seems like it’s also a test for the lipstick.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Aktaion Corporation has started testing the initial five units.

Fujiyama Corporation was building the Raigou Gundam──

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, Akatsuki isn’t using phase shift anyway…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since there is also the Gunbarrel Strike, it is natural to test remote-controlled weapons with the Strike.

And speaking of Strike, it’s Kira.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s funny how for Kira, the Cruzedragoon being his first Dragoon has become quite a plus.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

I am scheduled to be attacked by the newly sprouted Zaku’s white uniform.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a theory that fighting against dragoon-equipped units allows one to learn spatial awareness skills.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the pilot with the same name as Shura’s Black Knight squad is just a coincidence of a famous god’s name overlapping.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>135

If you’re saying that, then Shiva is also covered.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Sven conducting a strike test during this period?

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked your fighting style too! If you can use dragoons with spatial awareness abilities, it will make your battles more advantageous! Kira Yamato!!!

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

At this point, it’s hard to tell that Lux has the most talent after all.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Remember the chaos that balances VPS armor and dragoons.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

In G Generation, it’s quite usable.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

VPS is actually more energy-efficient.

The Chaos Dragoon is huge, and there are two of them.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Poor Kira…

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was planning to ask Mu for advice on how to fight in Mebius…

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

The test pilot for Chaos seems to be busy…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kira’s heart is broken, and she spends her days staring at the sea.

Aslan thinks that staying by Kagari’s side will change nothing for him, and he is doomed to experience NTR with Yuna… feeling frustrated about the ending.

148: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Chaos looks impressive, but since it relies on the thrusters of the pod for regular maneuvers, its mobility decreases during all-range attacks, making it a defective product…

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>148

In an atmosphere like that of the Strike Freedom or Providence, it would be more reasonable to be a complete dead weight than to be something improper.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s exactly why the reason for the Dragoon Strike being overly high-spec compared to the original would be if Kira was riding it and testing it.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

The rouge was created before the end of the war, so it has nothing to do with what Kira was doing during the tests.

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Strike (Unknown Equipment)

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

The additional batteries that are attached in large quantities aside, the dragoon looks somewhat similar to Shiranuhi’s, so this must be a predecessor.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are they going to animate this, Lux?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>153

It’s a new anime.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be full animation or it might be partial animation; I’m not really sure.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it something like in-app exclusive anime?

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just changing the color of the PS armor, that is our Air Force One, but what’s with the high price? That’s just a Strike testing the packs, isn’t it? Being able to do that is pretty cheap…

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the Zaku Assault will be coming out soon.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

“You’re going to release it as a Metal Build again, right? Lacus?”

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey Rax… We’ve already done the battery gun, but do we really need to go this far to make it work…?

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>161

However, the one who knows the threat of the ultimate dragoon the best at this time is you.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>161

It’s not enough to just have thoughts or just strength.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>161

Kira

New products usually start with really big batteries.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

Regardless of how much the main story can make use of the main footage, I’m quite curious about how this will be presented.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t you think it’s cruel to turn the me between MUJI and DESTINY into an anime?

Isn’t it possible to use another test pilot’s MSV?

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s probably either Rouge No. 2 or Kagarin borrowing Rouge.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

Since I was the best at using CE, I have no choice but to reference it whether I like it or not!

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

Child of Kira and Rau

The child of Rau and Mu.

Which one is it?

171: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I bet Orphe’s soul that Nicole’s death score will be updated even in the new anime.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

Don’t bet on something worthless, Lux.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it 4 or 5 extra batteries for the P-Strike? The Dragoon consumes a tremendous amount of energy too.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

When I saw the image, there are even more batteries than that…

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

What should we do if the battery gets hit…?

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>173

As long as it doesn’t hit, that’s good.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

No one had ever let anyone use it, but the one who is probably the best at Dragoon in CE is definitely Lacus, which is funny.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

How long do I have to keep trying?

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>176

If it’s the two of us, we can make it end.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>182

(About me and Kira…)

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s until the theatrical version.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay, Kira.

The main role of this kind of thing is armed testing on the premises, so unless terrorists suddenly attack, real combat is out of the question.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>179

Hey, Lacus.

The story begins with an assault by Zaft’s elite forces on the neutral colony.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

The movie was well-received, so I can never take a break.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay, Kira.

There are not many machines more unreasonable than P Strike.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s a Dragoon, it must be space, so I wonder if they’ll use Amenohirahashi.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>184

That place is independent from the orb.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know! (I don’t know!)

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

With a pod like Chaos, it looks heavy if it’s equipped normally, so without it, it might become lighter and there may not be much difference in mobility.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though ZERO isn’t out yet, there’s a new anime… it might just be a slight focus on the battle scenes, but with this, I can’t help but expect more from series other than SEED.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

Orbs are originally making money from space development projects, so they probably own some colonies, right?

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s just say that the sudden appearance of the Ootoristriker was also created by Kira.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we can load up on batteries, then even in the early stages, if we attach a lot of batteries to the Ael etc., we won’t be in a pinch with phase shift down, right Captain!

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>193

Yeah… but a perfect strike might be too heavy to achieve…

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like the engineers have started to play around with the Striker ever since I loaded it up with all the weapons for the replacement and it became unable to move properly.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>194

What is properly produced as a result of being made into a toy is

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>194

But Eternal’s parfait is truly a perfect strike…

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

It will be until the record of the two’s rebirth ends with the books stacked.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the Dragoon exam is the main focus, wouldn’t it be good to attach a large cable and test it?

Why make it capable of independent action on the premise that it will be used on the battlefield…?

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>197

Do you want to eat free food?

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

Poor Kira!

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Freedom’s dragoons are designed for spatial awareness! No, they are tuned for Kira! Amidst this confusion, how is Aslan able to master them regardless of the setting? It’s scary how that happens…

205: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>199

You… are Athrun Zala, right?

207: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>199

It’s because it’s Aslan.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

Help me, Shin.

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>202

Who is Shin?

208: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>202

(Shin is not here because he is at the ZAFT Academy.)

206: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you look closely, each pack actually has a battery attached to it.
