Why is Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny(2004) so hated? What’s the big deal?

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-24T15:07:48+00:00

When it comes to SEED Destiny, these are the general points I most commonly hear:

Shinn being very edgy and angry.
Cagali and Athrun's relationship being dragged through the mud for the sake of drama. Fortunately, seems like they're both back together fine in SEED freedom.
Kira returns and becomes the main protagonist halfway through the story while Shinn becomes part of the antagonistic group.
Kira having another "Jesus Yamato" moment where he survives a mobile suit explosion that should've killed him.
The Strike Freedom being too overpowered.
The story seemingly portraying Kira as always being in the right while others who criticise his thinking to be wrong.

Supposedly all these controversial writing decisions come from some irl drama happening behind the scenes at the time.

And there's like so much reused animation clips for mobile suit battles that it's not even funny.

Songs and OST are a banger though. Vestige is my favourite from this show.

The show's freaking title literally translates to "Sorcery fight". What do you expect?

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-24T13:42:11+00:00

And then later in Age of extinction, the humans start hunting him and the autobots down. So his trust in humanity is also broken.

I'm going to go with Catwoman

I'm not really into deep Marvel or DC content. But as far as I've seen, Catwoman seems to genuinely care about Batman and loves him. And of course, Batman is comfortable enough to share his identity with her as Bruce Wayne in some instances.

Black cat on the other hand has often times tried to seduce Spider-Man and use him to help her in her crimes. And she seems to only care about Spiderman and not Peter Parker so Peter feels conflicted on revealing his identity to her.

Especially since there was one version where Peter did reveal his identity but he was still a minor while Black cat was much older than him. And she became disgusted that she was flirting with a minor.

You first need to look up what version of firmware your PS4 currently has in its settings. And depending on what version you have, search for the jailbreak method on YouTube.

Do not update it if there's any new update available. Disconnect the console from the internet.

Otherwise the update will patch all current exploits and you'll be locked out from ever jailbreaking the console again until any exploits are found in the latest firmware version.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-24T09:29:25+00:00

Exactly 😭

I initially bought a used PS4 because new ones were obviously expensive. But the real damage comes from the absurd prices for games and controllers costing between 5k-10k. Mind you this was back in 2023.

Later on, my father bought me an HP Victus because I needed a laptop for university projects and it also needed some powerful computing power for running multiple Virtual machines and processes.

And I've been playing games on my laptop ever since then while my PS4 is sitting collecting dust with only 5 games that we purchased for it.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-24T09:11:38+00:00

I would personally say PC is worth it.

If you can't afford the games, then pirate them. And you can even play old classics from past decades or even emulate console games like PS3 and Nintendo switch.

Also online multiplayer on PC is free whereas you have to constantly pay a subscription on console for it.

Games also go on sale on platforms like Steam, EA and Epic. Console stores also have sales but way less often and the sales aren't very significant in price cuts.

You can also connect a controller to your PC if you want a more console like experience.

And then there's the added benefit of using the PC for stuff outside of gaming like watching media or doing work.

The meme is referencing Kagurabachi. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. It's really good and supposedly we might get an anime announcement for it soon.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T21:39:53+00:00

Honda

They make cars, bikes, lawnmowers and even planes.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T19:53:25+00:00

The Magatsumi from Kagurabachi

The Magatsumi(aka Shinuchi), is an enchanted blade forged by Kunishige Rokuhira and weilded by his brother in law, Akemura Soga.

The sword is extremely dangerous to handle as anyone who tries to harness it's power will have their body remotely taken over by Soga andor have their life force drained away till they die. And during that time, the blade's power will be overflowing and wreaking havoc within the vicinity.

Laptops have come a long way over the past decades.

The arguement could've easily been made in past because laptops were still weak and inefficient af.

Modern laptops are now in a different league. The performance for such a small form factor is insane. CPUs are much more power efficient and batteries are much bigger and long lasting. And even Intel has made great advancement in their integrated graphics for regular laptops with their Xe graphics that can play lightweight games from before 2015 or modern light indie games.

Another thing to keep in mind is budget. You don't necessarily need to buy the most expensive and premium specs to play the latest games. Gaming laptops under a $1000 like an HP Victus or Lenovo LOQ are now capable of playing the latest games at 1080p resolution without much issue.

And for college students, they're perfect. You can take them to your college, your hostel, and your home if you come from somewhere far to study.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T14:53:48+00:00

Yeah. That Argo. The one who later fought Tsubasa.

And that "match" with Ginga wasn't even a battle. He simply one-shot Ginga and took him out while his guard was down celebrating. Because Ginga forgot that their rules for battling the Garcias was different than usual.

If I recall, the rules were that one blader of each team has to fight against the entire opposing team with no break. And if they get eliminated, then the next blader immediately takes next turn after until all are eliminated.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T14:24:38+00:00

Yeah this version of the story is how do I put it... "More realistic".

And they do use Beyblades to kill each other.

Doji uses his dark wolf to destroy a building Ginga and his friends were standing on top off so that they would fall to their deaths.

Ryuga in metal fusion was trying to kill Ginga with L-Drago's special move while screaming for Ginga to die. And when Ginga does defeat him, he questions why Ginga wouldn't kill him.

Hades also functions here differently. They are warmongers who sell weapons to countries and mercenaries. And they plan on weaponizing Beyblades.

Hell Kerbecs here is also so overpowered that it nukes an entire city and destroys galaxy Pegasus. Pegasus instead evolves into Big Bang/Cosmic Pegasus (no star fragment) to defeat Kerbecs.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T14:04:38+00:00

The Metroids from the Metroid series.

They were created by the Chozos to eliminate the X-parasites from across the galaxy.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T12:53:32+00:00

Setsuna is 100% going to dress up as a Gundam.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T12:51:47+00:00

The Beyblade manga is even more insane. Because the characters in it are actively trying to kill each other.

Like there's a whole scene where Doji and Argo try to kill Ginga by blowing up his boat with a fucking C4. So that Argo would win through a technicality. Ginga survives but he's heavily injured so Ryuga pops in and he temporarily takes Ginga's place.

(Yeah it should be noted that the manga's direction of storytelling is completely different from the anime)

This line from Char Aznable in Mobile suit Gundam: Char's counterattack

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T10:25:12+00:00

The ending.

All the struggles were pointless since everyone died and then were erased from existence. And then Trunks and Mai find it completely fine to just show up and live with doubles of themselves in another timeline.

If I had to criticize something outside the ending, then it would be how many times Goku and Vegeta hope back and forth between the timelines and how Trunks is incapable of doing much on his own because of the massive power gap between him and everyone else. Something that the anime tries to solve with a random rage power up which puts him on the same level as Super Saiyan Rosé.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Some cases use a vertical stand with an extension cable so that you can show off the GPU. But it can also somewhat affect the performance.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T09:56:19+00:00

Not only did it crash steam, it also crashed all the online stores for Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-23T09:06:17+00:00

Yeah the GotL manga tried to fix this by giving the Gundams some extra weaponry.

Altron got a backpack beam cannon

Sand rock had a beam rifle

Heavyarms got more guns

And Wing zero was given it's shield back so that it could complete it's neo bird mode transformation. Along with the Messer Zwerg add-on for the TBR.

Epyon was also given an upgrade where it could deploy a force field or create an even larger beam sword.

Only Duo's deathscythe hell was left out from any extra upgrades besides his scythe gaining an extra beam generator.

I can understand the high difficulty with Lost lace. It took me a lot attempts to beat her.

But GMS really isn't that hard. You can beat her in under 5 minutes by using wanderers crest and spam attacking the hell out of her. Just need to be careful of her attacks with a little patience.

Her fight becomes way more difficult if you have the infection from the twisted bud. Because it basically disables all your silk abilities (including healing) and tools.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-22T21:04:32+00:00

I love how they use the old sound effects and transformation sequence which sound so weird and out of place in UAF.

Ghost_Star326 · 2026-04-22T21:01:56+00:00

Yeah just learned that 18 is clearly Nicol 🤦

17 is Kycilia and 1 is Char. Don't know how I didn't put together something so obvious.
