Well, basically, according to that japanese poll I saw in a random site (I'm sorry, I lost the link), the majority of votes for the preferred couple went to AsuKira... Second came, AsuCaga. And third was Flaga x Kira...<br /><br />The amusing part was that, the main protagonist couple, Kira x Lacus, wasn't even a part of the entire line-up... Or their pair never made it to top 20...<br /><br />Here's a copy of the list.

They just ran straight past the ending without so much as a whim on Athrun's love life.<br /><br />Anyway, I am still hoping to see such a game starring Athrun Zala in Sakura Taisen style. But of course they will never go back to it, Bandai has long since moved on. :(<br /><br />I would have loved to see him end up with Lunamaria.

Whatever it is that you are indicating, is not in Final Plus.<br /><br />I am well aware in the specials version, he returns to Orb as an admiral. There was no indication of him getting back with the representative.<br /><br />If the director was trying to show that Athrun ended up with Cagalli, he did an extremely poor. So terrible was it, that I had actually thought that it was intentionally left ambiguous as to whether Athrun ended up being romantically involved with Meyrin or with Cagalli.<br /><br />Anyway, the dawn and red references you pointed are purely symbolic. I hope you're not pointing out that they ended up together because of this. :P<br /><br />Anyway, you could have just given a link to the AMCs. The forum link is just a debate on whether he ended up with Meyrin or Cagalli. <br /><br />Reason<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqOCl8gNjU<br />Akatsuki no Kuruma<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOLyIujhcqY<br /><br />The 2 amcs do show strong hints about Athrun ending up with Cagalli towards the end. (I think it shows more of their love than their fate though.)mechgoukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740452698497588136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-47288984748349916572011-08-20T15:42:33.755+08:002011-08-20T15:42:33.755+08:00First of all I'd like to clarify that Athrun e...First of all I'd like to clarify that Athrun ended up with Cagalli and it was deliberately put there on the final phase plus and the AMCs.<br /><br />An Excerpt:<br /><br />The creator of Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, Mitsuo Fukuda, made an appearance on television apologizing for not making it clear that Athrun had returned to Cagalli at the end, he was even wearing an Orb Admiral uniform.<br /><br />Besides, interview with Naomi Shindou (who voiced "Cagalli Yula Athha") said: "... However, according to the director (Mitsuo Fukuda), he said that was the speech from the representative head's standpoint. Cagalli approaching Meyrin "Please take care of Athrun", for Meyrin, it was "You will be fine to get on the Archangel". It seems Cagalli, as the representative head, helped Meyrin by providing her a place to stay, isn't it?"<br /><br />The director of the show, Mitsuo Fukuda, then created two AMC's (anime music clips) where he made this clear to fans who had missed the airing of this report. The two AMC's are known as 'Reason' and 'Akatsuki no Kuruma'. Their authenticity is proven towards the end with Fukuda's signature and Sunrise's approval.<br /><br />If you want to read more on this, please visit this link:<br />http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=27095<br /><br />Some facts you may not be aware of:<br />There are several references to Athrun and Cagalli by the links of Dawn and the color Red.<br /><br />1.) Their names:<br /><br />The name "Athrun" came from a german word meaning Dawn and a place in libya called 'Al Athrun' meaning 'red'...<br /><br />Cagalli is named after the Japanese word 'kagaribi' which means a 'bonfire' or a 'watch fire'. It also came from a type of Orchid which is in deep red color, Slc Kagaribi Dawn 'Red star' Orchid.<br /><br />2.) The groups/objects around them regarding dawn.<br /><br />i. The last mobile suit she pilots, the 'Akatsuki' means 'dawn' in Japanese.<br />ii. The resistance group she joins is known as the 'Desert Dawn'.<br />iii. The company that built the original 5 Gundams, Morgenroete, is based in Orb. 'Morgenroete' is German for 'daybreak'.<br /><br />3.) The links to the color red.<br /><br />i. The 'Rouge' in the name of Cagalli's first mobile suit, means red in French.<br />ii. Athrun Zala, pilots MSes (Aegis, Justice, Saviour, Infinite Justice) which were all in shades of red.<br />iii. Cagalli's image song is 'Precious Rose'; roses are mostly known for the red colour.<br /><br />Well, there you go and I hoped I've helped enlighten up some things.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />(.^_^.)Lynxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279276635660426140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-52257218332105866522011-08-16T11:48:54.128+08:002011-08-16T11:48:54.128+08:00did you hear the voice actors of Lunamaria and Shi...did you hear the voice actors of Lunamaria and Shinn got married recently? ^^ i'm amused! i've never seen gundam seed destiny, but i know them as haruhi and hikaru in Ouran instead. but when i saw the news, i thought of this post...laketicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474204950591908750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-41297006206095017282011-07-26T11:25:13.943+08:002011-07-26T11:25:13.943+08:00@taninha9 and mechgouki

I th...Woops went on a rant there. *Ahem* anyways.<br /><br />I think Athrun will make a PERFECT erogame protagonist. In fact that's all I see him as in Gundam Seed Destiny lol (gary-stu self insert *cough*). Surrounded by hot girls who all want him, surrounded by guys who admire him, being forced into things (like a lemming), being a very nice and good looking, drives robots, is good at everything...<br /><br />All in all he might actually be a person I enjoy playing in a erogame instead of the usually perverted otaku jerk. Girls actually has reasons to like this guy *heavenly choir*. I think the war itself might create some really interesting conflict in the game.Kiritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557546919631340608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-28140834238073963912011-07-24T12:22:54.207+08:002011-07-24T12:22:54.207+08:00Seriously Gundam Seed destiny makes me raeg like n...Seriously Gundam Seed destiny makes me raeg like no tomorrow. Character development in this show is terrible to say the least. The plot isn't exactly stellar either, but at least the mecha (almost) makes up for it.<br /><br />It's very obvious that the director doesn't like certain characters, especially Cagalli omfg and was going to kill her off before deciding last min he was going to kill Stella instead (because of a leak or something). Hahah Kira, don't you love how they changed his personality completely? Of course Lucas went from a SINGER to a war goddess with tactical knowledge in the original Gundam Seed. Don't get me started on that. This whole series just makes me facepalm sometimes (don't get me wrong I still like it though xD).<br /><br />I'm not a big for of Cagalli either but still WTF. Character bashing in canon? Seriously? And that stupid "music video" they made to "make up for it" is the biggest BS I ever saw in my life. I wish they never did such a stupid thing. <br /><br />If I have to chose I think Athrun should go with Kira...just saying (hahaha).Kiritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557546919631340608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-14620649949451183892011-07-22T04:09:21.840+08:002011-07-22T04:09:21.840+08:00i have noo idea what any of this is.. but it sound...i have noo idea what any of this is.. but it sounds somewhat interesting. would you recommend it?

About Kira name i don't actually remember in Gundam Seed mentioning that they gave him thet name to be a killer. And about the clone thing maybe you are confusing Kira with Rau Le Creuset since this last one was really a clone of Mu La Flaga's father (Mu la Flaga is a pilot for the Eath forces) and like the clones Rau suffers from rapid aging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413047640078418003.post-69138327242205331972011-07-21T11:08:54.953+08:002011-07-21T11:08:54.953+08:00really?

I still haven't watched Gundam Seed Destiny, i was waiting to have a "mecha mood" because normally i don't like that much that genre. <br />Well from what you said it seems that Athrun in Seed Destiny have many suitors, so i guess it would be good to have a bishojo game, that way the fans could choose with who Athrun would end up. Personally i thought Athrun would end up with Cagalli, it kind of sadness me to know that Cagalli had given up on him! As for the others, well i think Lunamaria seems to be serious, strong and cool, just like Athrun, so maybe they would be a well matched couple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
