All right for all of you who want to know how Stellar died I have a theory.

Stellar fell pretty far from Destroy. I don't know how tall destroy is but I believe that when Kira blew up destroy's positron cannons, Stellar was thrust from the cockpit from that height as the cockpit combusted. Destroy was a third to a half a mile from where Shinn found Stellar. Seems to me that Stellar probably broke something pretty important which probably led to her death. All I know is that if she flew out of Destroy like I described that means that it had to be a pretty powerful explosion. If you look at the episode you will see that she had to fly out of the Destroy over all of those demolished buildings then somehow into an open area. As to why there was no blood, lazy animators or that was a really a good and crash safe suit. She probably could've lived for a little while if Shinn hadn't moved her. I'm no doctor but I was aware that you aren't supposed to move someone if they have a serious injury. Shinn picking her up like he did probably is what finally killed Stellar in the end. Thus Stellar's death is Shinn's fault. I seriously doubt that she was still alive when Shinn dropped her in the lake.

For those of you who still can't figure out how Shinn peirced Kira's Shield and Gundam, Shinn threw the first sword and put a gash in Kira's shield and then used the second sword (while moving at full speed) and trust the sword throuh the sword and the gundam. Kira though planned his escape in that very moment. As Kira was stabbed, Kira pointed his sword so that it would end up taking out the Impulses main camera, some sensors, and straight through the left side of the suit as they were engulfed by the blast. As for that explosion it was indeed the Tanhausser reacting with the water because as Talia stated herself that it would be to late once the AA submerged which is why she turned the Minerva. She knew that they would miss and braced it for impact. Kira just fled during the explosion. Why the impulse was so messed up after the smoke cleared, well Kira had to pull out his saber didn't he?
Um do show me where she fell out of Destroy its as good a theory as any don't get me wrong here. I just have placed Shinn as atleast having enough dignity to have gotten her out of the wreckage on his own. Then again if she actually went anywhere near the distance your claiming I find it hard to believe the shrapnel didn't get dug into her skin much less the fact she wasn't more noteably injured with something like a broken neck.

Definate points though on noticing the gash in the shield from the beam boomarang weather or not that kind of damage makes sense from that particular weapon but you are 100% correct it caused the gash that allowed Shinn to penitraight the shield good catch.

P.S. If you actually believe Shinn Drowns Stellar you are a dumbass I simply stated it to reinforce the fact we have no idea how she died. Also note due to someone dumping the body in a lake we never will.

And as this is my first post, I shall strive to go back on topic in terms of Heine's death. Yes Kira is at fault, indirectly. This cannot be refuted. Taking out all of Heine's weapons in one blow left him defenceless. However, being in FAITH would show he is skilled enough to recover from such a thing. Floating around in the air and watching the foe who ripped you isn't the smartest thing to do, especially on a battlefield. Verdict: Heine dropped the ball there for sure. He did a mistake I would expect a rookie to make but he's not completely at fault.
Do realise that Stellar wasn't even aiming for Heine at all he litterally floated in the way of her blindly attacking freedom. His death wasn't even planned out by the one who killed him he just made the most retarded move I have ever witnessed by floating around aimlessly and ignoring the early warning device that tell you when a mobile suit is approaching and in this case it got him killed.
