I dont really know why Kira didnt beat Rey, but i think its because Athrun was on the Battlefield while injured. Kira has showed in a lot of ocassions that he worries for his friends, like when Minerva was chasing after AA and Kira was battling Shinn. Shinn and Rey arent so worried about MInerva, otherwise Shinn would had tried to stop the Skygrasper, but i can bet he didnt even knew it happened. He didnt even noticed how depleted his power was in Phase 42, and the Screen was pretty easy to notice. Shinn is a Hot-head who forgets whats around him.Originally posted by: Curium
Well, 1 other thing as well. Rey was acctually trying too fight. When Kira took out Saviour Athrun was just talking.Originally posted by: mako
hehe, no I don't hate Kira, but it's the only "excues" I can think that would be even remotely valid as to why Kira didn't beat Rey like he did Savior.
Kira could had killed him easy if he had used the CHEST-BEAM, instead he used the canons (or whatever they are) in Phase 42.
