Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Sociopathic Soldier Ash Gray. The guy works for ZAFT, but only because it gives him a convenient excuse to kill as many people as possible. When he's tasked with finding Lacus Clyne, his plan is to kill her associates, military or civilian, and keep on killing them until she comes out of hiding to try and stop him. Ash is so bad that Knowledge Broker Kenaf Luchini, who arranged the destruction of the Silverwind and the subsequent deaths of everyone aboard basically just because he likes messing with the Junk Guild, pulls out all the stops to take him down (giving the Junk Guild intel on Ash, and hiring Serpent Tail to help them in the fight).
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Astray's storyline still continues despite how the SEED movie has been trapped in Development Hell and may never release.
    • In all fairness though, the delay is primarily due to lead writer Chiaki Morosawa having cancer. Being threatened with Author Existence Failure is a pretty good justification for major delays.
    • Also Shiho Hanenfuss, the mute Ensemble Darkhorse of SEED anime, has much more role in Astray. Though still a relatively minor character, she actually speaks in the manga (she would have spoken in the anime, mind you, but her voice actress bailed).
  • Toy Ship (Prayer and Kazahana)
