Genetic manipulation to implant space whale DNA in the next generation of spacefaring children. This way they could power to the dream.

The seed is their third eye linking them to a higher dimension.

>they bust a nut and get focused
>what could this mean?

Just something that happens when a character needs to suddenly get better at piloting (Including that one time where Lacus entered seed mode to make her a better admiral but didn't really do anything)
Cagalli does it too so it's probably not genetic

>>23884209
Cagalli does it because her Gundam and her crew had PINK units. She loves girly things!

the term is a subtle joke

>>23884154
advanced autism

It was a metaphor that got away from the writers.

>>23884209
Yeah if not for Lacus just sitting on the bridge and activating it I could've said it was bullet time or some shit since all other instances are in combat and the user becomes untouchable (with exception of SEED v SEED and final boss fights, where rules don't apply because the protag has to get their mech wrecked).
But I guess since that happened it'd be best described as being REALLY REALLY REALLY "in the zone". Very scientific

How did Kira survive the point-blank nuclear explosion to his cockpit directly above Antarctic waters that would have frozen him to death if he had even so much touched the sea?

Seed/Seed Destiny is poorly written trash and they didn't care about logic or consequence.

>>23884612
Lowe saved him. Because why not.

SEED mode is just Fukuda recycling a concept from Cyber Formula Zero.

>>23884612
>How did Kira survive the point-blank nuclear explosion to his cockpit directly above Antarctic waters

That is a thing that never happened, hence his survival.

>>23885018
He also recycled Freedom's full burst mode from Dendoh Phoenix so it's not surprising.

>>23884607
I"m pretty sure there's interviews from the day saying it's a visual representation of when a person is driven by circumstances to go past what would have been their normal limits. Which is pretty much "in the zone"

>>23884154
Basically when you think of Lacus/Meer you get insanely horny and gain the superhuman will to win and live so you can fuck them.

That is seed mode.

>>23884612
Some bs about hitting the off switch to his generator in the nick of time. Idk if it's remaster exclusive but you can see his thumb on the switch at some point. The real question is how some "shutter" saved him from the aegis explosion even though it melted his seat like cheap plastic.

And yes, seed and destiny may be poorly written but it isn't trash. They are the greatest pieces of slop the world has ever known.

>>23884154
A flashy gimick to make the TV show "cooler"

>>23885309
That's not exclusive to the remaster, him having scrammed Freedom's reactor was always shown right away in the next episode
There wasn't any nuclear explosion, Freedom and Impulse got hit by a shockwave caused by the Minerva's main gun missing the Archangel and hitting the ocean

>>23885309
>aegis explosion even though it melted his seat like cheap plastic.
It wasn't melted. Water just soaked the cushions. Strike Gundam was half underwater

>>23885328
Yes there was an explosion. Shinn stabbed the reactor. Kira hit the emergency button to prevent it going nuclear.

Same thing happened to Providence Gundam and it exploded in a massive nuclear fireball.

>>23885018
That's just a sports thing, like how a famous badminton player from asia can win after getting 0-14 in the first round.

sorry that sub-plot got dropped youll never know

Another space magic like newtype faggotry

>>23885334
No there wasn’t. That’s why there’s half a fucking Freedom left to recover dummy

>>23885334
There is precisely one explosion and it's the one caused by the Minerva, not the Freedom

This was last year and it does a good enough job

>>23885576
Not giving your shitty channel views. Either explain your position or gtfo.

Fafner > SEED

>>2388560 it’s the only video I have that’s just playing the scene and showing that freedom never blew up.

>>23884154
It's ZONE from Kuroko No Basket except limited by genetics in terms of who can use it

If only every mobile suit had a "don't blow up" lever

>>23884154
I vaguely recall saying that Seed mode is the absolute peak of clarity and focus. Only rare individuals can achieve it.

Sort of like "being in the zone" for gamers but on a much higher level.
