especially since it looked like Kira intended to strike his cockpit when he dodge it by disconnecting his suit
so it shows that Shinn really has skill to back his attidude (which i find refreshing)
Ya thanks for bringing that disconnection dodge up when Kira tried to hit the cockpit because many ppl said Kira lost because he didn't even try to kill Shinn. Well as you can see he did eventually but did not succeed.
He wasn't aiming for the cockpit. He was aiming for the legs, but when Shinn seperated, the gap the beam saber went through makes it look like he tried it. If you pause right before it seperates and put your finger where the seperation line is, once you hit play you can see that the swing by Kira was below where the connection point is, thus below the cockpit.
