KiRa YaMAto SaN

FIGHTING SKILLS While lacking any true form of military training, Kira's fighting prowess has developed much as the series progresses. In the original SEED series, Kira is shown to be inexperienced with handguns, preferring not to use them. During a Blue Cosmos assassination attempt on Andrew Waltfeld, Kira chooses to throw the gun rather than shoot someone. He even has to be reminded by Mu to remove the safety on his gun in episode 44 while in pursuit of Rau on Mendel station. He is shown as a skilled unarmed fighter, however, and is extremely effective with his mobile suit's artillery. Furthermore, in the glossary of the PS2 game Never Ending Tomorrow, his rapid advancement in piloting skills is described to have been caused by Rau le Creuset's revelation of his being born out of an artificial womb. In Destiny, his handgun skills improve dramatically as seen in the second assassination attempt on Lacus Clyne. His implied status as a person with high spatial awareness ability also has an impact on his fighting abilities.
