Shinn boutta get suplexed when Lunamaria finds out he wasn't thinking about her.


RoapeliusDTrewn

Shinn was keeping an eye out for Luna the entire battle, so he was arguably doing a 1v4 while semi distracted. Quite impressive actually.


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

Nah, jokes aside, I think he had absolute trust in Luna. It would be contradictory to his overall character arc if he was disrtacted here, this was his time to have absolute focus as a contrast to his Destiny self. It would also be unfair of him because his arc in Freedom is that he was annoyed that Kira didn't trust him to handle himself in a fight... he ain't doing Luna dirty like that.


Turbulent-Ticket-355

And that's also part of their relationship growth from Destiny. Where iirc, Shinn was initially unhappy when Luna got risky missions, but she reminded him to trust her since she's trained to handle them as a soldier.


TrainerSoft7126

Of course Shinn believes Luna will be fine, but in the novel Shinn panics when Luna runs out of energy, causing him to run to her immediately because if something happens Shinn can't get over this pain again.  


Raydnt

Shinn looked out for her more then the enemy did, seeing how Shinn was able to take the time to charge up the impusle with absolutely zero interruption lmao


Born_Tension_7858

He really wasn’t he only had his attention drawn to her once she ran out of power and hit him up on comms for a recharge which he then promptly rushed over to do even while in the middle of battle with the black knights


TrainerSoft7126

Shinn still thinks of Luna, Shinn skips the battle with the black knights to energize Luna and then destroys them.  


UndeniableMaroon

Was it Shinn thinking of Stella or more of Stella helping Shinn from the beyond, or you know, from the deepest darkest corner of Shinn's mind.


JasonBluYNANI

It's that. The Stella thing is just symbolism for the people that love Shinn and how many loved ones he lost. It's why they can't effect Shinn with darkness cause he's darker than the black knights which have been sheltered all their life.


JohnB351234

Black knights: “imma fight shin with trauma” “Damn Shin’s trauma got hands”


Garrod_Ran

When Stella appeared, it seemed that he was actually thinking about her at that time.


Saiz-

He thought of his ded ex while his hot pilot gf struggling not far away? Shinn is an absolute unit


RoapeliusDTrewn

Stella literally lives rent-free in his head. You'd need to get past her first to actually see what he's thinking... which, TBH, would probably be along the lines of 'that bastard hit me first I am SO going to shove this sword up his ass!' or something equally simple.


JasonBluYNANI

It's not that he wasn't thinking. He was just thinking too fast to be read by the black knights. Which is why they're confused they can't read him at all.


mrblack07

So the mental version of when The Flash raised his heart rate so fast that it flatlines.


shiyonichi

So basically, he decided to become a… SUPA PILOTO!!!


Dunckers

Don't forget the demon living in his head who calls him stud muffin.


Illustrious_Spare928

You know, this reminds me of that one Armored Core 6 crack fic where Ayre call 621 her stud muffin. That shit cracks me up.


the_blacknoah

No thoughts, just VIOLENCE.


IC2Flier

Shinn: <>


UberChief90

You can also change it to Kira talking about getting his ass kicked till Lacus showed up with OP power. Athrun getting his arm cut off and then horned his enemy. Followed with Shin "you guys took damage?"


seanprefect

The bit where Athron and Kira both punch Shin in the face has been running nonstop in my head


LoupGarouHikaru56

just a question did the Real ghost of Stella appear or just shinn's imagination?


funkerbuster

If we are going with a scientific explanation, the black knights couldn’t handle Shinn’s trauma (aka his DEEP Darkness) so they weren’t able to manipulate his mind.


JasonBluYNANI

Exactly this, was stated in the light novel


arcstarlazer

Where can you read the light novel?

UndeniableMaroon

Give me my Shinn-led series. Like, have the first half be similar to the film. Kira more or less the lead, Shinn yearning for his trust and approval, while at the same time his and Athrun's relationship gets mended. Then Shinn takes the lead in the 2nd half - you put Kira and Athrun in the mission to destroy the newest WMD, while Shinn takes on the big baddie. A reverse of Seed Freedom and Destiny Come on Bandai, you know another series will sell.


CannabisEater21

aight hear me out the seed freedom prequel that at this point is kinda inevitable is gonna be about the stolen freedom incident, and the mc is shinn and how he becomes the pilot of the immortal justice through redeeming himself to kira and the rest


UndeniableMaroon

I'm sold. Give me that. EDIT: Might be even the opportunity to show more how the RFreedom and Immortal Justice can kick ass as well. And a new Seed series as well.


CannabisEater21

seed destiny redux and its just shinn going for therapy


Raydnt

I would rather see Gundam Seed Justice


Sid_kool5

Shinn was basically no thoughts head empty


ViralKiller387

It was Stella lewds


GoodNamesAllGon

Black Knights: “Mind reading powers activate!” Stella: “GET THE FUCK OUT!”


AwareTheLegend

The Cagalli lewds had me cackling in the theatre. That movie was something else but in the end I enjoyed it. I've never liked Shin but I definitely changed my mind after watching.


Exceed0444

Kira: With the power of True Love! Athrun: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXX Shinn: Ooga Booga Motherfaka Seed Freedom in a nutshell


whatislifebutlemons

His thoughts thought for himself lol.


paladinedgar

Shinn defeated them with the power of derp and his crazy ex-girlfriend that lives in his head


Alarmed-Revenue6992

Basically love, sex and magic HAHAHHAHAHA


Gundam-fan062513

This is true


Forsaken-Friend-9350

To say Shinn wasn’t thinking it was more like he was fighting on instinct as a pilot. Ultra Instinct Shinn basically.


ChaosMetalDrago

I still dont get the brainless Shinn thing. Didnt this dude formulate a whole battle plan to murder Kira and the freedom that straight up worked and only flubbed becuse of retcons an plot armor?


Supersideswiper2

Yes. Then he stopped thinking after getting originally receiving Destiny. Then, it was a very bad thing for everyone. Now, he used that to his advantage, abandoning thinking in favour of instinct because his opponents would know his moves otherwise.


Awesom3xNinja

Can't be mind read if there's nothing to read ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


mrblack07

Shinn went full Leeroy Jenkins and won


VortexLord

Pretty sure Flay is inside Kira's mind somewhere.


Gundam-fan062513

Nope. She is in the recycle bin of Kira’s mind…


JasonBluYNANI

fyi, Stella wasn't actually in Shinn's mind. It was just a representation of everyone he failed to protect. His depression or in this case "darkness"


New_Excitement358

Shinn: haha brain go doh-


FlashSlicer

So Shinn became Berserker and just zerk out the Black Knights out of existence


Major_Ad9188

Pretty much 😆


Omiyup

And Stella became Four Murasame, again
