I really don't believe that. The last 5 epeisodes? Kira will definatly be found alive in the next 5 episodes will most likely get Strike Freedom soon after.

. Haven't you read any of the spoilers people posted? Some are even from New type. Strike freedom will most likely be shown in ep 38 or 39. That is what everyone has been hinting at anyway ...When Athuran gets back to the AA....Kira will most likely get Strke Freedom around then. From whoever steals...whether it be Athurn and Kira. OR someone else steals it for Kira....Plus I doubt the director would give out info on Kira's survival even if it is a spoiler...even though there are some spoilers out there that say that Kira is rescued. It's not the New type one...its another animage and animedia. But Strke freedom wil def. make an appearance a lot sooner then what you said.

And news that Kira is alive I hear may even be in episode 35, but I doubt it...but def before 40.
