The exploding is only the continous effect of the nuke gen installed in Freedom's suit.
On the other hand, I agree that Shinn have lots of advantage.
1) Not because of Freedom's damage, but loss of energy.
2) Kira got lots of distraction of his concern to Arcangel
3) The jammer that Minerva shot in the beginning of battle, made all radar messed up.
4) Impulse have lots of spare parts of it's suit (like V Gundam)
5) Ofcourse, Rey's strategy on strategy is well made!
I don't want Kira's role out from the series for good. But, it will feel wierd too if he survived from that huge explosion!!
Can't wait for next 2 weeks series!! I don't think there will be answer to Kira's status next week though!!
