Disabling the one Murasame that was going for the bridge was the only decent thing Kira did in 28.
When the carrier was bearing down on the Minerva, Kira blasted REY's remaining arm off and took out one of the Minerva's Tristans, as if the minerva wasn't screwed over enough already and in dire straights.
Archangel didn't do crap in 28. They did even less than they did when Heine was killed. If the AA wanted to help, it should have got alongside the Minerva and took some heat off.
They're all for protecting Orb, but don't give a damn about the Minerva really, even knowing Athrun was on board. No one was yelling Stop It when the Minerva was getting pounded. When Shinn starts slicing, it's a different story.
"Cagalli's crying right now." Boo hoo. Kira's an ass in this show. Never mind helping your friend to survive.
As I stated earlier, I don't know how you would react to ZAFT if they sent an extermination squad to kill your girlfriend. That's were the loyalties lie, not on the side of Minerva, but on the side of Lacus and crew. Kira and co. are put in a pretty desperate situation and it's not like Athrun is helping (he's totally brainwashed with ZAFT propoganda). He's supposed to use the Saviour to help Zaft from straying from the path.
gee... didn't he live in ORB... doesn't he know it's run right now by some crying little wimp... he should be using his MS to kill that guy off and get the fleet to retreat...
also as i recall... kira hasn't killed anyone yet... I thought Athrun was as skilled a pilot as Kira but he still has to go for a kill shot to take anyone down.
