X20A:Vestigi (VPS-ON)

*cue T.M.R's Vestige*
"X20A, Strife Freedom, please launch."

Despite SEED Destiny being such a guilty pleasure of mine, there is actually a genuinely very well-planned out moment in the show that (still) gave me goosebumps even to this day, which is based on the quote above, it's the Strike Freedom's first debut and launch. And i say this not because i love Strike Freedom's design (which i do), but because i think that every shots and edit is timed so well - from the silence of OS-starting up with Kira narrates his doings, to the screen panels booting up, followed by T.M.Revolution's Vestige music cues (which kicks-off the build up of the reveal), the ship Eternal's runway opens, then reveals Strike Freedom's face in the shadows (with it's glowing eyes the only light source in the darkness), alongside the launch operator saying the said lines above - that it all combined results in a build-up to a very exciting reveal (which kinda fits Kira, in a way ).
