Its finally done - this was a beast to put together in more ways than one. What should I do next?
Gundam OO please
Wing or G, please
@@jba8472 I hope it’s G cause I just started re-watching that Gundam show a few months ago but in the Japanese version
Thank you. We appreciate it
iron bloodedorphans
i totally forgot about that part where luna falls for shinn after he "kills" her love interest and sister, actually peak comedy. amazing recap, thank you for putting this together!
Luna into some weird stuff
In the Drama CD, even Meyrin was like "What the heck?!" at first and said, "You're dating the guy who shot down Athrun and me?!" And for some reason, she started using it as a joke in conversations
@@Ruki-gq5bcWow. She took it pretty well, all things considered.
This, and seed freedom, really solidifies Athrun as the goat most forgiving mass murderer of the series
I fear for my life every time he's on screen
And he just gets better in Seed Freedom
Athrun is the real MVP.
Also horny 😂❤
And the funniest part he's also a man of culture and the movie proves that😂
Alex Dino is the real main character of Destiny.
Honestly, what went through Shinn's mind when he thought a kicking contest versus the justice was a good idea? The thing has beams everywhere
Earth Alliance when there's slight inconvenience: all out nuclear retaliation
Just watched SEED Freedom and it just solidified my love and adoration for gundam SEED idc what anyone says
It's a lot more campy than other shows, but I think that's part of what makes people like it (or dislike it). It's not my favorite, personally. But I get the charm.
Seed Freedom solidify Athrun's loyalty to Cagali besides getting dragged by 3 women in Destiny. LOL
Shinn Asuka's entire vocal : ‼️‼️⁉️‼️‼️‼️‼️
uuWWWAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH! D:
LOL
12:15 I laughed way too hard hearing The Rugrats theme song to perfectly sum up Shinn’s situation to Athrun risking his ass for him.
I just finished watching the SEED recap and then this pops up, nice
This reminded me of how many factions they had in Destiny. They really loved to mess with acronyms.
Destiny's number of factions is child's play compared to *G-Reco* (which is not exactly a good thing for G-Reco 😅).
I've only just discovered you, but I gotta say you put out some of the most well edited gundam videos on youtube. Thanks for doing the recap, I can't wait to watch Freedom after this :)
I really appreciate that - can be really time consuming but if people can notice the effort it's worth it
The main reason why foundation is so strong was stealing ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam six months prior to the events of the Gundam Seed Freedom movie. If you watch Gundam Seed Destiny then you know that both ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam, and ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice Gundam were the strongest mobile suits from Second Alliance-PLANT War.
Ps. The soundtrack is really badass in both Gundam Seed, and Destiny anime show.
Not a subber so I have to admit I was actually apprehensive about clicking this video, thinking it was another hate/whine video about my favourite Gundam series. After enduring 20 years of hate, it's become second nature now. But then I just said "eh eff it", and it turns out this video is probably the best recap vid on the series I've seen, reserving jokes for only the most ridiculous parts that even I poke fun at (everything Lunamaria lol). Now I'm sharing it with my friends who haven't watched FREEDOM yet but are interested.
I've always loved SEED/Destiny as a series, and FREEDOM just solidifies that I'll always love it regardless of all the hate and misinformation westerners spew about it. So thanks for this. At least there's one great video that objectively recaps Destiny without bias.
I know the feeling. These shows were the first I ever saw of Gundam.
I have one for SEED too + the Freedom prequel if you haven't seen that yet.
"After enduring 20 years of hate" if someone is bashing a tv show with "hate" and without any constructive and meaningful things to say, why would you care or watch/listen to sth like this
...this however isn't a case for Seed and GSD, especially GSD, any video on it pretty much deconstructs how those are conceptually flawed if not braindead series and I'm low-key surprised that you admit this being a prevailing opinion and not noticing that maybe, just maybe, everyone else aside from you is onto something
@@freddekl1102 So what? I love the series regardless of all the hate, warranted or not. Who are you to tell me what I like is wrong or not
Man, your recap of SEED and SEED Destiny were insane, absolutely amazing, you reminded me of how amazing these shows are. Your 2 videos were so good and funny I had to rewatch them twice! I love your style of retelling the story and I love how you emphasized certain things in the story, like how you painted Athrun as a Murdering psychopath as a joke, it was absolutely hilarious and made Athrun seem much more badass than he already was! Your commentating skills are very good, you were very entertaining to listen to and very funny! Please man, please, do more recaps like this for other Gundam shows. I would love to watch a recap you make of a Gundam show that I never even watched.
This is crazy and i mean crazy. I saw your gundam seed recap last night and i couldn't find a gundam seed freedom recap. Thinking dang i wanna see your seed destiny recap before i watch the movie. Literally just over 4 hours ago. Haha. Now i just woke up and this video is here. Most awesome
Great timing lol, hope it helps
30:15 "and it's up to Luna Maria to shoot him down!"🗣️🗣️
"GOT AWAY"
Stormtroopers in a nutshell
If you paid attention, you could see some Easter Eggs of Cyber Formula. Sunrise’s other series that most don’t know about
I really like the global conflict in the Seed series not gonna lie
Fun Fact: Durandal already knew about Destroy Gundam, Heaven's Base super weapon and Requiem and The Logos early on the series.
Am I the only one who noticed the extremely satisfied look Waltfeld had on his face when he was finally able to use his gun arm. Makes me laugh every time.
Honestly, your Sonic music choices were impeccable!! You did an absolutely fantastic job!!
Also, I love Gundam Seed Destiny and you did it justice!!
Another great job. This was a perfect follow up to your seed recap and I would recommend both of these too my friends who need a tldr before watching SEED Freedom
Maybe athrun is the real ultimate coordinator 😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Destiny can be so convoluted so this was such a pain lol
Thanks for all the hard work on the video man it doesnt go unnoticed 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for the recap. I’ve rewatched this seed/seed destiny series more than 20 times over the 20 years (from age 12 until 32), your recap doesn’t missed out any single details. Goodjob 🎉
Thank you for putting this together!
Seed Destiny is what reinvigorated my love of Gundam. I bought every DVD until I had the full series. This show got me through a lot of tough times during Middle School. I loved it… until Kira (Jesus) Yamato returned, messed everything up, got Heine killed, and killed Stella. I was so happy when Kira was defeated by Shinn, but then Jesus tier plot armor happens and he cheats death… AGAIN! But then he redeems himself when Chairman D, Shinn, and Rey lost their collective minds. He once again brought balance to the force lol. Destiny gets a lot of criticism (mostly because of Shinn I think), but I loved it. Thank you for making this video!
These SEED recaps are great! I love the bits where you point out the silliness of these shows sometimes. Idk if you're gonna make recaps for other Gundam shows, but if you do make them, I' sure they'll be great too.
Athrun got that dawg in him😤😤
These videos are phenomenal! I'd love to see you do the same for the UC/other standalone Gundam properties! Thanks so much for taking the time to put these together; they're beyond helpful for folks like me who missed SEED when they were kids and now, as you posit, don't have time to catch up.
Your full recap videos were amazing. I hope you bring more out like these in the future.
Despite most hated series, I love Seed Destiny. The anime, ps 2 game and ost are memorable to me.
In my school vr game Shin played a major role in the game and has a very kind moment from Goalius (Goalius was protecting a converted so he made a deal that if any converted is found by ZAFT don't kill them but only knock them out so the people of Goalius hometown could actually reverse the process which during so Goalius stated that if they did he will revive Shin girlfriend which Shin had a flashback to it and him in the destiny Gundam were feeling emotional so Goalius hugged him)
Been walking for this since I watched your Seed recap. Some of the best explanations 😅be seen in this platform
27:20 😂 actually the akatsuki was in research and development hell for most of ce71 - ce73 and only just finished testing during the second orb war. The anti beam coating "yata no kagami" was notorious for being impossibly difficult to apply + maintain as well as having being so expensive that it requires the same money to make 20+ astray on orbs military budget lol
32:25 the reason cagalli stays behind was because her va left mid production. This was at the height of seed behind the scene production scandal.
Go figure.
Yep. SEED Destiny had a lot of production issues. Hell it was so bad that they had to make a revised version of the ending aka Final Plus: The Chosen Future. Man what a mess.
40:32 and that's the beginning of COMPASS
After watching Freedom movie, I like the series even more.
Seeing Zakus dominating Gundams is a chef kiss
Very nice recap video, I enjoyed it even if I watched destiny at least 4-5times. Looking forward to your other seed videos
Great video!! Thank you so much for making it! ❤❤❤
Hope it was worth the wait and helps your friends out 🫡
@@GundamHQ It already did you’re the best! Very excited to see what comes next from you and Gundam HQ! God speed 👋😄
I think it's either the manga or novel that said Rey was talking about Shinn when he was crying about tomorrow.
Thanks. This came clutch just watched GSF an hour ago. I wanted to watch seed and seed destiny for longest time but only got around to it 2 years ago.
Wish you could do this for the all the series. Loved these!
Great recap vid! I hope that you would make one for seed astray since its my fav side story from the ce universe
Why watching this recap makes the Destiny series not bad at all compared to when we first watched it? Possibly the series phasing was chaotic that time so it was not explained well. Again, another great recap. More power to this channel.
Although Shinn's not win the war, but he's got Luna as his girlfriend, At least.
(Both Series and Real Life)
Cut comparisons between original version of Gundam Seed and HD remaster.
I Like How You Put His World From Sonic 06 In The Freedom Gundam Returns Part In 10:30 Also The Rest Of The Video Is Good
Good recap, and I love the sonic game soundtracks perfecto
The ORB echo's really amazing🤣
Gundam Seed and SEED Destiny HD Remaster made people remember or watch this series. I was introduced to this series because of the Remaster back in 2011-2013.
They real problem is they skipped an ova. I have been playing G Gen and SRW over the years so these events are still fresh in my mind
this video was so much more fun to watch than the actual show
Heine's gundam must've been poorly maintain because there wasn't any alarm going off to convey enemies behind him..
Edit: Luna: you killed my sister?... that is so hot.
Lol i love your recap. Arthun the mass murderer... Wait wouldnt that be Shinn given all the deaths of civilians caused due to his actions?
Please do Iron Blooded orphan next, or anytime
The "open season" got me crackin
needed this
thanks for: saving us hours of time + meme + that small hit mark
And her bodyguard Alex Dino who is definitely not "Athrun Zala" LMAO, I love this channel
deserves more views
10:20 Waltfeld did not regrow his arm, it was his prosthetic 🤣
i love seed man
This summary and the last one made me realize that Athrun was a fucking menace.
And Seed Freedom just hammers the statement home
@@darkwolf5869 *Eagle noises and hitmarkers intesifies*
Can you please do this for EVERY other gundam series/movies/ovas? I love listening to them and i like the comedic dialogue and edits. If not, its still fine, but i hope you do this for a few more gundam media pieces. Thanks!
Watching Destiny, you will learn that Alex Dino is the MVP
Speaking of, does C.E.73 Stargazer story was actually before Second Bloody Valentine War started?
Only first ova, the other 2 were during and after seed destiny ended
@@trollinoakenshield9822 I know that, but do you think Stargazer exists according to CE Timeline?
@@setsunaquanta8795 yeah, cuz in the 2nd ova, the MC are escorting stella n destroy gundam.
great recap, now i'm booting up my ps2 to play shadow the hedgehog
highly competent recap, but there's also a lot of context that can't be included in a 40 minute video, so i'd say watching destiny for the full experience is still recommended
destiny is best experienced blind imo
If you're not blind at the start, you sure will be by the end!
As a kid, I watched because of interest but watching it as an adult, no wonder there are a lot of fanfictions of fixing GSD. Man, Cosmic Era had that potential, A MOUNTAIN OF IT. I see new characters with potential but it's a wishful thinking to see them reach their full potential. Lunamaria can only be accurate IF THE PLOT WANTS TO! Sad, as she's my favourite redhead waifu. Competent female MS pilots only exist in the 1980's I guess. Cagalli in GSD felt like a different person, now that Naomi Shindou no longer reprise that role forever, perhaps that the fallout was beyond repair. Meyrin reminds of Flay with her hair down and that hair colour. The Saviour is the true wasted potential of a mobile suit so is the other original CE designs. Those UC designs look out of place even if it's to celebrate 25th anniversary of Gundam. About the pacifist thing, it's as if as they try to make Kira a Kenshin. Funny how my rewatch of SEED count is higher than Destiny though, I have more comfort in watching SEED all the way through than Destiny. I'm waiting for Stargazer.
Athrun was not in the room during that last encounter with Gil in the original version.
He was added in the Final Plus edit released after the original broadcast ended, and this version is used in the HD remaster.
IMO the original version is better as the speculation was either Kira finally shoot someone with a gun after 99 episodes of not doing so, or whether someone shot Kira.
For sure - the only thing I really appreciate about this is that Athrun, in terms of key plot development, had the most relevance to these characters where as Kira never really saw or spoke with any of them till that moment.
So it can offer a bit more closure - but I definitely agree with your points!
You know after watching the series so long ago and watching this plot synopsis seed destiny despite many of its flaws doesn't seem all that bad anymore,
Lacus was not chairwoman,she was Consultant
Everyone avoid that freedoms and Kira just accidentally fire shin family and you just avoid that 😅
Best recap of Seed: Destiny I've found. And no whining. Just poking fun at it which is superior, no matter what anyone says. You just got me to subscribe.
16:05 Is your back ok?
I'm going to see Seed Freedom tomorrow, so thanks for the Summary, it's great. 🙏🏻
I really hope that 20 years of self reflection allowed SOMEONE to not write Cagalli like a complete idiot, otherwise I might be worried on how he's going to handle Grendizer U.
Mass Murderer Athrun and Jesus Kira Yamato. damn those are some crazy monikers
Poor Shinn. Had his character arc mutilated and his show stolen. Gonna go see FREEDOM this weekend and hope he gets some small justice.
Athrun was always a savage
Awesome I did forget stuff lol. Pls do stargazer next time!!!! Pls and thank you
Btw: there is an facisinating fanfic about an AC/CE crossover that puts the fear of Gundam into both sides of the war
Now it makes sense in gundam seed freedom of that kid with cagalli, it's Talia kid
Savage @23:04 Athrun and Shinn
Sure, the show has its issues, but I enjoyed it.
Of course Heine is so beautiful HE IS VOICED BY ONE OF THE SEXIEST J POP ARTISTS EVER Takanori Nishikawa aka T.M. Revolution!!!!!
How meta. The same guy that did Ignited and Invoke actually voiced a character.
@@DestinyZX1he was Miguel too
And Sunrise unfortunately couldn't afford to have Nishikawa for the entirety of both shows, which resulted on both his characters being killed off only partway through. Fans have also speculated that Shiho (one of Yzak's team members) could've suffered the same fate had Nami Tamaki become her VA.
No wonder GSD got so many recycled footage! That's where the budget went!
Really love the breakdown, your video came in clutch! You really like Sonic 06 don’t you? 😂
EDIT: picked up some sonic adventure 2 also 👍
@GerudoRamirez I don't think I used any Adventure tracks this time, but definitely 06, Unleashed, Shadow and Frontiers and more. They're good songs and SEGA never claims any of their songs on CZcams so they're a perfect fit
16:05 subscribe buttons are lethal?
Always have been 🔫
22:39 Not gonna lie, I thought this was originally him ejecting the nuclear reactor so the explosion happened outside the machine and the force was absorbed by the phase shift armor.
damn they really close the potential for another season with the peak engineering.
Shinn changed from a brainless bipolar kid to a kid with kira daddy issues forwards the man that made him orphan.
He's always been puppy like towards his superiors and Kira had higher military rank than him in GSF. However, based on an interview with Fukuda, Fukuda said that Shinn felt dependent towards Athrun. We don't actually see it because Athrun has barely 10 mins screentime in the movie.
"The man who made him orphan"
Kira/Freedom actually defended ORB from Orga/Calamity in that scene. Without Kira/Freedom, Shinn would've died along with his family.
Waiting for seed freedom review ❤️
He did a review I think
Kira beam spamming mean while LUNA 😂
this really makes me curious what would happen if Mu got the Akatsuki in seed
Thank you for putting these videos together. I’ve wanted to share SEED with people but never had a viable summary. Even though there were 20 years to do it…
I have to ask though, what’s up with all the visuals being mirrored?
Great question - trying to avoid copyright claims in the future. A lot of people do things slightly smaller, skewed/ really ugly stuff to avoid claims when showing long clips. I prefer a combination of using only short clips and a simple mirror (aside from when there is English text on screen)
Do I absolutely need to? Maybe not. But I think it's a good extra layer of protection.
@@GundamHQ Ah ok. I understand. I was just like “how did that happen?” Looking forward to your next project. I’d love to have Stargazer and Freedom to finish these out, and maybe even Astray, but sure whatever you choose will be great.
Huh, Murrue never visited that son did she.... at least not that I remember in Seed Freedom...
Murrue was probably confused about what she will say to Talia's son. I mean, saying "Sorry kid, your Mom would rather die with her former boyfriend than continue living as your mother." to him would be a sick burn 😅
@@androyus Except no one but Talia and Durandal knew they were formerly a couple. They have a one night stand and doesn't seem like anybody. Murrue certainly doesn't.
We the audience know, but that doesn't mean the characters know. I know you're intending to make a joke, but it just doesn't make sense because Murrue would have no way of knowing Talia was formerly Durandal's lover.
For some reason, Sonic Soundtrack works well with gundam
18:23 rip
There's never been a more painful moment.
Saviour deserves more respect
Maybe even being a limited produced ms and having many vairants
Hmm, i suggest doing Stargazer, if only for the crossover
Just wanna say that Athrun, Dearka and Yzak could have ended it all if they had just killed the Phantom Pain trio right there on Junius seven
Anyone know the song that plays at 29:30?
I was trying to make a bitly file to link the songs but it was being funky. I'll message you when I get home
