不要把两代男主角相比较
他们立场,身份,遭遇完全没有可比性
.. agree! but Kira is also unfortunate enough.. he was forced to fight his best friend Asuran, even though I fought so hard to protect those he loved, Yzak shot the shuttle and....
He experienced many sad events, being called as "traitorous coordinator".. forced to kill his "friend" -- Andrew Bartfield, even his best friend, toll was killed by Asuran.. and he almost died when fighting Asuran..
After so many sad events, he came back with Freedom, and began his journey to save the world ! how about Shinn ?
Shinn's family was killed accidentally (kira didn't even know how was his own real parents). The girl he puppy-loved, stela was killed (Fllay who was even so closed to Kira was also killed).. but what has he become ? A cold-blood killer ! killing his own benefactor ( general todaga from the orb ) , using foul tactics to defeat Freedom !
Even until now, Shinn doesn't even realize what is he doing !
I still believe Shinn will change slowly in the last 10 episodes and at the end finish the bastard Rey together with his Legend ! Then Shinn can still be considered as a kid of kind nature..
However if Shinn doesn't mend his way, he is likely to be defeated by S.Freedom and simply die... of course, I don't really hope to see this ending..
