And finally Shinn, how can you not sympathize with him now? In the beginning, I hated him just as much as you do because of his attitude. But not only did he lose his family, he lost someone he was in love with and an episode ago, he lost two of his comrades. Just imagine how much pain he was in, to be responsible for killing his teammates, even though he didn't want to.
he lost his family, because of the war, so he blames everything on orb. He lost Stellar because not only was he unable to stop her, she almost killed him. He was blinded by 'love' and so his work as a soldier, conflicted with his life. Instead, he chose to follow his own path, thinking he could stop her. He did not acknowledge her as an enemy, which is why he is so inexperienced.

I really don't think Shinn 'killing' Athrun and Meyrin was as much as a loss as Stellar was. Of course he felt doubt, what one human wouldn't? But afterwards, there was rage in his eyes, and after he turned seed, he felt no more remorse. He killed, like he was told to. His part as a soldier appears there.

This is why I hate him so much. He is trying to play that role of a soldier but he is inexperienced. However, his faults are right'ed, if you can say that, by Dullindal, and because of that, not only does he get away with everything, but his ego and arrogance inflates. It's become rather irritating to see him succeed with his own agenda and not get blamed for anything. He thinks his actions are righteous in every endeavor he partakes.
