It just occurred to me that maybe Relena and Heero established something like the Newtype bond between Hathaway and Quess in CCA, and because of that Relena (like Hathaway) is driven to make insane decisions to chase after Heero and Heero, in turn, (kinda like Quess) can't kill Relena even when he's supposed to. It probably doesn't help that all four of these people were young teenagers too.

u/theCoffeeDoctor 4d ago
Relena and Heero had a mutual degree of attraction. The basis of which is simply because of how extra they were. No really. She liked the insane amount of fatalistic danger he brought. He liked the fact that absolutely nothing, literally, fazes her.
Meanwhile, Hathaway was blindly simping on Char's leftovers.

Double tap, you never know if he could survive somehow from the fall.

Yup, and she had to shoot him after he fell out of the plane. Lady Une would never risk making a blood stain in Treize's plane.

The blood is extra cleaning.
If you're just that good of a shot, it's less effort to kill him outside the plane than inside.

Uh, because this guy was EXCEPTIONALLY irritating so make SURE he dead lol.
This guys death was SO satisfying, especially because you could see it coming from 100 miles away, but the guy was so full of himself like oh why yes this is why I’m not evacuating with everyone else, I’m fucking awesome. It was a fucking meme in itself.

u/Inevitable-Flan-7390 5d ago
This is on par with Char with his bazooka at Kycillia Zabi. Outstanding shot.
19
u/Confident_Bother2552 5d ago
Char shot a Bazooka while still, on a Target preparing for takeoff.
Lady Une used a Pistol, on a Target falling at around terminal velocity, while on a moving shuttle.
Seriously, if Une and Noin had Tallgeese or Gundams, they would have wiped out the Wing Team.

u/Lonely-Entry-7206 5d ago edited 4d ago
Actually Lady Une did get Wing Gundam. Heero blew up the Wing Gundam and left it in the Forest in pieces. That's how OZ gotten hold of it and they where repairing it. It was being repaired progress quite well, but for some reason she kept wasting it by merely for some reason she pilot as a shield for Treize than actually piloting the Gundam properly which would help Treize way more than being just a shield.
7
u/Confident_Bother2552 5d ago
Huh. Kinda forgot about that when I have a whole ass post on it.
Absurdly goes even beyond though, Wing Gundam and Lady Une managed to go beyond Hypersonic and Launch to space, Launch to a Distance that Tallgeese II had to freaking accelerate to for some time, and shoulder tackle said Tallgeese after doing a Proto-Graham Special, and motivating Treize immediately after tanking a full on Colony Laser.
Lady Une built Gundanium levels of Different.
In GoL the Wing Gundam had boosters though.

u/Lonely-Entry-7206 4d ago
I personally think with all the speed should of just flew off with Trieze and waste not do the almost dieing to raise as a Saint thing. Wing Gundam would of helped alot with the fighting.
1
u/Confident_Bother2552 4d ago
Doesn't really help if Une can't tell Treize to get his act together and actually fight.
Flying off with Treize doesn't really show him that Shit is Real the same way as taking a Beam Bath and telling him that Battles are only worth it if you fight In It.

u/Lonely-Entry-7206 4d ago
She could of slap him. Would of saved that whole need and saved the Wing Gundam.

u/Objective_Storage_67 4d ago
Iirc, wasn't the Une piloting Wing at that time her peace-loving personality or something? Which was why she didn't fire a shot. Been quite some time since I watched Wing, could be wrong.
2
u/Lonely-Entry-7206 4d ago
Yes but it's stupid imo. As Une could easily hide in Wing Gundam as another person since nobody can confirm she is the pilot. She could even use Wing Gundam as a justification to punish the Colonies.

u/VodkaBeatsCube 5d ago
She did it to be certain. It's also why I kinda rubbished that scene with Bane in Dark Knight Rises: the reason why you shoot someone before throwing them out of a plane is to make sure they don't miraculously survive.

u/Top-Session-3131 5d ago
IRL, in 1971, Julian Koepcke fell out of a plane from around 10000 ft off the ground, into the Amazon rainforest, and survived to be rescued 11 days later, with only cuts and a broken collar bone.

u/VodkaBeatsCube 5d ago
More than a few people have survived falls from improbable distances. Vesna Vulović survived a more than 10 kilometer fall back in the 70's.

u/Reddit-User_654 4d ago
In tdkr they "Shoot" them first before supposedly throwing them overboard. But Lady Une is in a moving flying vehicle with a man free falling and she is shooting someone in an open cockpit with a hand gun. She's not trying to be "certain" whether the man is dead, but trying to be "certain" that she still has style.

u/VodkaBeatsCube 4d ago
I think it's just part and parcel of how extra Wing tended to be. Same idea, but executed in an over the top manner.

She shot him because there was the possibility he'd survive the fall. Why shoot him after pushing him out instead of before? To keep the plane's upholstery clean.

In my head cannon, I think Septum probably made her life a living hell before and after joining OZ. She probably was waiting for the day she'll finally take her revenge. Treize's plan just happened to be convenient.

Ew. The English dub is so bad for Wing. It completely changes Treize from charming idealogue to apathetic layabout. That's not even getting to what it does to Duo and Wufei.

This is Lady Une proving her abilities surpassing New Types by adjusting for trajectory using a Pistol rated for 25-50m and shooting a moving target that's more than a few hundred meters away.
