Line 2:
A summary page for the various characters in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]]''. Many are also characters from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/Characters|Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]''. Note that all spoilers concerning the previous show are left unmarked here.
'''NOTE''': This series is particularly prone to [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]; please be conscious of such and remember that ''your'' take on a given character is not the ''only'' possible way to look at them. Do not remove tropes highlighting "opposing" intepretations unless they are flat-out factually incorrect.
== Crew of the Minerva ==
Line 38:
* [[Foil]]: Shinn is what Athrun would've become had he chosen [[To Be Lawful or Good|loyalty over conscience]]. There's also some parallels to how Kira could have become if he'd chosen [[Emotions vs. Stoicism|emotion over reason]] or allowed himself to obsess over the past.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Good
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Whatever one thinks of his motivations or whether he was right or not, {{spoiler|he ends up on Kira, Athrun, and Lacus's side at the end of ''Final Plus'', after Kira, whom he met earlier at the very same place -- a memorial to the victims of the OMNI invasion that killed his family -- shook his hands and said that he's willing to forgive him and even invites him to fight alongside him}}.
* [[Heroic Wannabe]]: He's a good kid and he means well, but he's far too screwed up to ever be [[The Hero]].
Line 100:
** [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: ...and a pink miniskirt with thigh-high socks on bottom.
* [[Genki Girl]]: At first, she's cheerful and energetic, and fawns shamelessly over Athrun. Later on... less so.
* [[Good
* [[Idiot Hair]]
* [[Lady in Red]]
Line 137:
* [[Foil]]: To {{spoiler|Rau Le Creuset}}. See [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] for how.
* [[Freak-Out]]: He has one at the Extended factory, foreshadowing both his clone status and his eventual [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* [[Good
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Vaporizes {{spoiler|Djibril}} by firing through the bridge of his battleship while the latter is trying to escape from yet another losing battle.
* [[The Last Dance]]/[[Living on Borrowed Time]]: Only drugs keep him going, yet he'll still die within a few months. This clearly factors into his desire to see the Destiny Plan implemented soon.
Line 178:
* [[Determinator]]: Though he tends to waver when he's uncertain of himself, once he makes up his mind he's bloody unstoppable. See Freedom vs. Saviour for the former and {{spoiler|Infinite Justice vs. Destiny}} for the latter.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Oh my, yes.
* [[Good
* [[Green Eyes]]
* {{spoiler|[[He Knows Too Much]]: Once Athrun got wind of Durandal's plans, the latter orders Rey to have him killed; Rey in turn manipulates Shinn into thinking that Athrun has turned traitor.}}
Line 220:
[[File:Talia_Gladys_2793.jpg|frame]]
Captain of the ''Minerva'' and Shinn's commanding officer. Tries very hard to be a fair commander, despite her authority being constantly ignored by Shinn and occasionally subverted by Durandal and Rey. Her [[The Ditz|second in command]] doesn't help any. Later revealed to be an old flame of Durandal's, she remains loyal to him and to ZAFT despite her doubts {{spoiler|until just before the very end}}.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: She's shown to have feelings for Durandal. Her [[Mami Koyama|voice actor]] did [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Kycilia Zabi]]. [[Shuichi Ikeda|His]] did Char Aznable.
Line 231:
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: Her decision to die with Durandal and Rey comes off as this, though it could be justified if one goes by the idea that she feels just as responsible for allowing them to have come that far with their plan as they had even though she had her doubts.}}
* [[Foil]]: She is what Murrue Ramius would've become had she chosen [[To Be Lawful or Good|to be loyal instead of listening to her conscience]].
* [[Good
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Mom]]: Though it sorta came out of nowhere...}}
* [[Modesty Bedsheet]]: She uses it during one time with Durandal.
Line 251:
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Arthur is nervy, jumpy, and prone to freaking out, yet he's a perfectly capable officer, sticks by Gladys' side to the end, and adapts remarkably well to the ''Minerva'''s increasingly crazy plans.
* [[Ensign Newbie]]: Unlike Gladys, Arthur is not a veteran. Fortunately, he's the [[Number Two]], not [[The Captain]], and acquits himself fairly well.
* [[Good
* [[Nice Guy]]: Arthur is a rarity in this show--hell, in this franchise--an unamiguously affable guy.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
Line 428:
The oldest and most stable member of Phantom Pain. Lacking Auel's [[Ax Crazy|bloodlust]] and Stella's [[Cloudcuckoolander|childishness]], he comes off as the most well-adjusted of the group, which is probably why he acts as the trio's unofficial leader. Following {{spoiler|Stella and Auel's deaths}}, he starts exhibiting [[Ax Crazy]] tendencies, and {{spoiler|is killed by Shinn at the Battle of Heaven's Base}}.
He's the pilot of the ZGMF-X24S Chaos (re-coded as RGX-01), a [[Transforming Mecha]] capable of transforming into a bird-like mobile armor, giving it an edge in aerial combat, and later another Destroy.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Late in the series he starts to exhibit these tendencies while piloting the Destroy.
Line 461:
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The Chaos can transform into a [[Space Fighter]]. And like Stella, he pilots the Destroy later in the series.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Like all the other Extended.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Type II with Auel.
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: Following {{spoiler|Stella's death}} he's given command of a Destroy, and leads a squadron of them at the Battle of Heaven's Base.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Like his fellow Extended, Sting is already a bit of a loose cannon, thanks to years of abuse and [[Psycho Serum|drug addiction]] (although compared to [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|the "Druggies"]] he's a pillar of stability), but he truly flips when -- after already {{spoiler|losing Auel and Stella}} -- he gets his hands on the [[Weapon of Mass Destruction|Destroy]].
Line 522:
* [[Anti-Villain]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the ''Minerva'''s [[Five-Bad Band]], ZAFT, and the entire show. He's certainly [[The Man Behind the Man]] to a lot of the worst events in-show, and is the last of the contenders for the title left standing following Djibril's demise.
* [[Broken Ace]]: He's a successful doctor and lawyer turned politician, a [[Manipulative Bastard]] seen as [[The Messiah]] by much of the world, a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] whose plans just might work, and a [[Villain with Good Publicity]] poised to gain everything. Whatever angle one looks at him from, Durandal has got it all. And he is deeply, deeply depressed, frustrated over his rocky relationship with Talia, [[Nietzsche Wannabe|unable to see any good in the world]], and coping very badly with his inability to {{spoiler|save [[The Gwen Stacy|Rau]]}}.
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: {{spoiler|To Athrun and the ZAFT pilots who defect to the TSA.}}
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Durandal is ''really'' good at getting people to do things that benefit him.
Line 532:
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: Lacus interrupting Meer's interruption of Cagalli's first worldwide broadcast since being "kidnapped" by Kira. Of course, he's [[Xanatos Speed Chess|quick to work around on this]], but his shocked expression (if just for a moment) clearly showed that Lacus caught him off-guard.
* [[Evil Genius]]: Absolutely.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Djibril, his rival for the title of [[Big Bad]]. Djibril is more evil, Durandal more competent.
* [[The Evils of Free Will]]: While not addressed as such directly, {{spoiler|the Destiny Plan}} would certainly get rid of it.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Of the unintentional sort, as he himself is not racist, but in his attempts to try and solve the problem he came up with a plan that could lead to Coordinators becoming the dominate in this "utopia" he wishes to create.
Line 618:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]/[[Ho Yay]]: With Dearka
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: At least this time [[Older and Wiser|he does think things through more than he used to]].
* [[Man in White]]: His new uniform.
* [[Military Brat]]
* [[Older and Wiser]]: One of the best examples between ''SEED'' and ''Destiny''.
Line 643:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]/[[Ho Yay]]: With Yzak.
* [[The Lancer]]: He is officially Yzak's [[Number Two]] now.
* [[Military Brat]]
* [[Older and Wiser]]
Line 662:
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* [[Foil]]: Serves as one to the more conflicted Athrun, being totally loyal to ZAFT and the Chairman and convinced of the righteousness of the war. Needless to say, Shinn wishes Athrun was more like him.
* [[Good
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[It Gets Easier]]: He thinks so.
* {{spoiler|[[Mauve Shirt]]}}
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: His character is based on T.M Revolution, who provided his voice in the Japanese version.
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lamb]]}}: He's brought in, seems to be a [[Badass]], is established as a [[Foil]] to Athrun, makes friends with Shinn {{spoiler|and dies a few episodes later}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: He gives [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Ramba Ral]]'s "No ZAKU" line while piloting a GOUF.
Line 739:
* [[Bigger Stick]]: The Freedom and the Strike Freedom, the latter being totally superior to any Gundam save perhaps the Infinite Justice, the Legend, and the Destiny.
* [[Born Winner]]: Being a Coordinator ''and'' having access to [[Super Mode|SEED mode]] is a good place to be.
* [[Good
* [[The Hero]]: Quickly resumes this spot post-perspective flip.
** [[Hero Antagonist]]: Before the perspective flip, when his need to end the conflict quickly puts him in direct confrontation with Athrun and Shinn.
Line 751:
* [[Official Couple]]: With Lacus.
* [[Older and Wiser]]: And just a little burnt out.
* [[Purple Eyes]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Averted when he pilots the Strike Rogue. He changed its specs so its PSA would display the [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Strike Gundam's]] original white/blue/red colours. His pilot suit, however, does have pink stripes on its shoulder boards.
* [[Rogue Protagonist]]: He knows Durandal's got an agenda. [[Unwitting Pawn|Shinn]] and [[Aesop Amnesia|Athrun]] don't. This causes problems.
Line 809:
* [[Expy]]: The paralells between her and Bright Noa are as strong or stronger in this show.
* [[Gainaxing]]
* [[Good
* [[Official Couple]]: With {{spoiler|Neo Roanoke, aka Mu La Flaga}}.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Andy, on account of both of them [[Heartbroken Badass|having lost their loved ones]].
Line 885:
* [[Badass Normal]]: The best on-screen (true) Natural (no Newtype abilities or [[Super Mode|SEED factor]]) pilot of the Cosmic era.
* [[Building Swing]]: Within a [[Space Station]].
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: His mobile suit, the [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|Strike Noir]] to Shinn's Impulse and Kira's Strike from the original series.
* [[Gray Eyes]]
* [[Guns Akimbo]]
