'''''Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny''''' is the sequel to the ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]'' anime series; it is the tenth televised series in the [[Long Runner|long-running]] ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise and the second to be set in the Cosmic Era [[Alternate Universe]]. ''Destiny'' has some thematic ties to ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', similar to the relationship between ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' (though less pronounced that ''SEED'''s pseudo-remake status); these include ''SEED'' characters, now [[Older and Wiser]], reappearing in ''Destiny'', and a very similar [[Romance Arc]] in ''Destiny'' and ''Zeta''.
''Destiny'' takes place two years after the end of ''SEED'', and follows the story of Shinn Asuka, a young [[Born Winner|Coordinator]] and ZAFT pilot. A surprise attack on a ZAFT military base and the subsequent [[Gundamjack]]ing of three of ZAFT's new [[Super Prototype]] Gundams kicks off a sequence of events that results in a second full-scale war between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance. However, things are not as clear-cut as they seem at first, and questions arise over which side of the conflict is really in the right. About halfway through the series, much of the cast from ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' returns to the spotlight, and the series gradually shifts to their POV, considerably changing the tone of the series.
Line 10:
''Destiny'' makes numerous appearances in various [[Video Games]], such as the [[Massively Multiplayer Crossover]] franchises ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' and ''[[Another Century's Episode]]'', in addition to the ''[[Gundam vs. Series]]''. Its inclusion in ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]'' is particularly notable for being widely considered something of a [[Fix Fic]]; the story was reworked by Banpresto's writers to fix parts of the plot that had frustrated viewers, and to show both Kira ''and'' Shinn as heroes, which was well received by both sides of the [[Broken Base]]. Destiny characters and mecha also appear in ''[[Gundam Fighter]]'', a Flash-based [[Web Game]] featuring nearly the entire Gundam franchise.

* [[The Ace]]: Many, but Athrun in particular gets this treatment by ''Minerva'''s crew early on, as does Shinn later on.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Kira is the king of this trope. {{spoiler|Especially after he gets the Strike Freedom.}}
* [[Big No]]: Athrun's agonized cry when {{spoiler|Kira is apparently killed in his climactic duel with Shinn}}. The English version is especially gut-wrenching.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: Pretty much explains the series. While there are lots of [[

* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Del Rey's treatment of the SEED Destiny manga. [[Meaningful Name]]s are butchered to the point of losing their meaning, and ''basic punctuation and grammar'' are ignored.
