[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED] Recently, I’ve watched SEED and it’s become my favorite Gundam, but I’ve seen that it’s said to be the weakest or a flop among the five… I wonder if that’s true… maybe it is… what do you think…

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Well, whether you like it or not isn’t something that is determined by the strengths and weaknesses in the story! The duel is cool! Isaak was cool too from around the middle!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Well, it’s the very beginning in the story, so it’s not refined yet, but meta-wise, it’s based on the premise of wearing armor.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

It’s not that it’s a miss, but rather it’s like a prototype, so it just lacks any sharp performance elements.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

The defeat of the Forbidden after the armor purge and the defeat of the Raider was cool, right!?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strongest sense of plainness that feels like the original Gundam.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Although there are no special gimmicks, the idea of using an easy-to-handle and lightweight machine as additional armor or a weapon platform is impressive, even if ZAFT had a prototype system for it. Using it for a captured machine is remarkable.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

The concept of the platform MS is more thoroughly designed by Strike, isn’t it?

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>18

It’s natural that it was made last since we had the data from previous prototypes and used that.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

Oh! That’s nice! Let’s copy it.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s wonderful that there is no white, red, or yellow.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

There is white, right?!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like not having a front skirt.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a lower version compared to both Strike and Buster.

But if you like it, that’s all that matters.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

I told you to make a prototype, but I wonder what’s going on with making four other machines while even the thread picture isn’t complete.

If we include Astray, it will increase even more.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>9

In the first place, it’s a prototype from a different line, so what are you saying?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s kind of too ordinary.

I think it was really great for ZAFT to be able to capture the most basic initial G type.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you like duels? That’s great!

The HGCE Duel Blitz can remove armor and recreate a bare duel, so I’m sure you’ll like it!

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

The silhouette when drawing two sabers is beautiful.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

This MG is cool!

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I don’t have any particular strengths, but I don’t have many weaknesses either.

I mean, since I took down two named units in the final battle, it’s not surprising at all that I could end up liking it.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s a strike without a pack or if it’s been copied, that would have been a problem in its own way…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, it’s the internet that’s saying it’s a miss.

You’re an idiot.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything other than what was left to Kira had been chosen, it’s certain that the thread image is the biggest miss.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

It’s quite tough to be given a blitz in a defense game.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

In other words, in a situation like an escape battle, the battery runs out, so it’s tough with anything other than a striker that has a battery.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

It’s an easy mode where you just need to activate the miracle and take down Vesalius to win.

The enemy doesn’t even know that something like a miracle exists.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

Who will protect the Archangel during that time?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>35

old man

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

Fraga

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>32

How do you know that place before the battle?

How do you protect the AA during battle?

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>19

Since the match Kira was in was mostly a defensive battle, it feels tougher for Blitz as he can’t take advantage of his strengths.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

There’s no way to recover from a dead battery other than a strike, so I’ll be taken by Athrun and the Seed Axis will begin.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Isn’t this guy the best option if it’s not a strike?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s easier to use than Blitz Buster Aegis.

Versatility is a strength, but there are even higher strikes in terms of versatility, so it becomes a bit overshadowed.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s not surprising that there are few unique elements since it’s the very first existence created, rather than being a failure.

It’s rather strange to create Aegis from the first variable machine.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

I can only think that the engineers of the alliance were insane to implement such a complex and bizarre transformation right from the start.

There’s no one chasing after me.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

This is the first Gundam of the SEED world.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once you are not an enemy of Kira, opportunities for activity will emerge all at once.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love dueling too!

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m missing the retrieval of the dedicated bazooka.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blitz is too much of a main body for Miracolo.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blitz is strong, but Miracle is stronger.

Because I allocated resources to that, the main performance is the weakest…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though they say it’s weak, its basic weapon configuration is the same as the old man’s.

If we’re talking about bare weapons, then the Strike is weak.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

If you don’t even have a beam saber…

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If I try to fully utilize the Miracolo, I can’t use the thrusters, and I can’t use the PS armor either…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

The one who solved this was the Hermit Type 2 wearing a Cavalier-equipped Z’gok later on.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love bare duels without any unnecessary elements.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

The back view is cool too, right?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s Kira, no matter which Gundam he gets, he’ll dominate anyway.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

The weapons are…! Beam sabers in the limbs and a Scylla in the abdomen!

Is this all?!

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

That’s enough…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s more like talking about not being able to protect AA, rather than being unbeatable.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, on the Zaft side, even if they just steal the Strike without the Striker Pack, they’ll be thinking, “What are we supposed to do with this…?”

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The AA side should be able to modify it to attach the pack using spare parts for the strike.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that being simple leads to better fuel efficiency?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

A strike is good, isn’t it?

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>49

There’s no way that the armed unit’s beam rifle has good fuel efficiency.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If we put a Buster on Kira, it seems like it would become something amazing.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

(A rifle that is somewhat popular in the federation)

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A rifle with a grenade attached is cool.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

They say it’s not refined.

Is the later GAT series, created using data from the early GAT series, refined?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

The variable mechanism has become proper.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dual-wielding sabers were too cool.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better and more stable than Blitz…

Miracolo is strong, but it often gets criticized for its mixed armaments and other aspects…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the assault shroud actually carrying dead weight and losing performance?

Are you also adding more thrusters?

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>62

AS is not just about wearing it; it’s about enhanced armament and improved mobility.

It’s heavy under gravity, but…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

This blatant sense of perfection…!

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The duel rifle is cool, and it’s nice that it looks good even when held by someone like Noir.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There’s nothing particularly weak about this, right?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

With PS armor and beam weapons, you can win against most units at a certain point.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

Having few live ammunition weapons can also be a disadvantage.

Well, originally there was also a bazooka.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only one equipped with a standard normal saber is the Duel, so in terms of versatility when sober, it’s the best among the five.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The original virtual enemies are Jin, Shigu, and the battleship, after all.

There’s nothing but an ad.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blitz lacks firepower due to its emphasis on stealthy operations.

Buster has no close combat weapons at all.

The Aegis has a malfunctioning variable mechanism.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I heard that the Aegis’s MA form is similar to the Mebius, and I thought it makes sense.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love duels because they have super cool purge attacks.

It makes me happy when it’s implemented in a game.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It had a more impressive shoulder than I remembered.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

The processing per MG is surprisingly well-balanced, so I have that impression…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you look closely, this guy had his thighs completely exposed.

It’s disgraceful, Gundam.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The shoulders are getting smaller year by year due to the kit system.

I personally like the angry shoulder of the strike.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>78

Also, the shoes are getting thicker and they look like ordinary Universal Century Gundams.

In both the setting art and the story, the shoes are flat and thin, which is characteristic of the early GAT.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

It doesn’t have any special abilities and is entirely based on Gundam, and when I write that it has additional weaponry and upgraded armor forms, it really does resemble RX-78.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing to assign the original Gundam in the work’s world to a character in a position like Izak.

They say it was originally a more villainous role.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>82

Shooting down a civilian shuttle and killing everyone is generally considered the act of a great evil person.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, the face and color combination look a bit bad, don’t they?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blitz is really cool because it connects to Testament, so I’ll forgive you…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Far from Izark, the early crew of the Cruzer team was dropping the Allied machines left and right, so I think it’s amazing that they managed to reach that ending at all.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mugnasectio is good, isn’t it?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know because I saw it in the Destiny Special Edition, but does the HD remaster have the trial scene of Izak?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

In episode 11.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

Thank you. I like Izark, but I’ve been unsure about him due to the civilian killings, so I hope watching the trial changes my impression.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Duel is the most active enemy-side Gundam in the Honest Seed series.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

In the early game, the rival position of Strike is Duel…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, the weight of the sin would actually change when you’re dealing with a civilian shuttle and a warship.

That said, I cannot help but understand Durandal’s opinion on to what extent we should question new recruits, who may not have the ability to make calm judgments.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Killing civilians left and right and still being a soldier despite facing court-martial and trials, Izark has quite thick skin.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>94

It’s not so much that it’s reversed, but the military is facing a serious manpower shortage, like ZAFT.

It would probably be even worse after the theater version.

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>98

There are the effects of war, and it is fundamentally a volunteer army…

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even if they are civilians, after all, they are still natural civilians.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the development order Duel, Buster, Strike, Blitz, Aegis?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

That said, I think it’s unreasonable to expect them to determine that it was a shuttle with civilians in that situation.

Isaac is also shooting, thinking there are soldiers riding on it.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, they got enough screen time to be more flashy than some of the main Gundam protagonists.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The scene where a duel melts away an arm in Agni.

After that, everything was back to normal, and I thought it was too quick to fix the PS armor right after Zaft was just taken over!

But rather than being unable to depict damage due to that restriction, it seems more appropriate in a robot anime to prioritize appearance and blow off an arm.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

While they unilaterally see the protagonist as a rival, it’s true that they cause mental damage to the protagonist by unknowingly letting civilians die, which makes it convincing that they were intended to have a position similar to Jerrid.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really love the late-game achievements like defeating the three idiots after removing the shroud or using the buster.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The timing for launching the shuttle wasn’t very good either… It might be because if we send it out before the engagement starts, it would land in the parent plant’s sphere of influence.

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love the part where Izark, seeing the nuclear attack on the plant, tearfully orders to launch the missiles!

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

The name “duel” has bad luck, so let’s call it “long dagger.”

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

The arm will be fixed, and the additional armor has somehow been completed.

That’s all there is to robot anime…
