* The things [[WhenHeSmiles that make Rey smile are rare]] but what makes him do so to begin with is quite heartwarming to watch. Aside from Durandal, there is seeing him enjoy himself playing the piano and seeing his friends Shinn and Lunamaria succeed.

** The final shot of Kira and Athrun, arms around each other like the best of friends that they've always been. Behind them are their machines, with Infinite Justice behind Kira and Strike Freedom behind Athrun. A fitting visual for these two who have been the cornerstone of the Cosmic Era since 2002. Two years worth of their troubled friendship, through clashing allegiances and ideals, now with Athrun's doubts finally cleared for good, they fight alongside each other once more, to bring freedom and justice to the world.

** Hell, like with Myrna episodes again, it's implied they know that Kira is her brother, and thus likely public knowledge among Orb's government and military at this point. When he affirms their ideals and course of action, they all salute ''him''. Also a brief moment of funny, when the poor boy is at a loss when so many soldiers salute in reverence to him.

** For the first time in both series, ''MU LA FLAGA'' is ''finally'' in an ending ''as he is in the present!!!'' Throughout SEED, he was conspicuously absent in both ending visuals, and Murrue is depressed both times, which clearly foreshadowed his (supposed) death. He was in the previous ending to this, but that was his ''SEED'' self, before we got a confirmation he's alive after all. He's finally here where he belongs, at Murrue's side, and both of them happy!

Both times, one of Athrun's creations indirectly alert them of their presence, the first by Mr. Pink and the second by Birdy.

* Both times, their interventions in Minerva v. EA/Orb naval battles accomplished nothing but more confusion and death on both faction's sides, and bringing Cagalli to agonizing tears. However, both times, it's clear to see that she HAS many loyalists among the Orb military. It's just that they are at that point under the thumb of Yuna and Neo, the latter of whom would extremely likely kill them all if they mutinied like they clearly want to. Amagi admits as much when he and quite the number of surviving troops ordered by Col. Todaka to join her all apologize for being unable to acknowledge her in their position and once more swear fealty to her aboard the Archangel's bridge.

* Another minor one. To facilitate a meeting between him and Kira and Cagalli, Athrun contacts Miriallia and they get along well in their meeting. It shows how Athrun has made an effort to actually meet at least one of the friends Kira had repeatedly told him he was fighting to protect, which Athrun, in his own myopia then, refused to believe. All the more so that he was the one who killed Tolle, but as we saw last time, Miriallia had already forgiven him because hating and wanting vengeance was pointless to her. Both have made their peace over it.

* While a small one, the chatter of the townsfolk in episode 21 in regards to their feeling towards Coordinators, especially if you remember how most of the world apart from Orb felt about them just a few short years earlier. Despite what happens later it's nice to see the blind hatred SEED and Destiny show most Naturals having for Coordinators has lessened since the first war, especially given previous events in Destiny by that point.
