General CW for robot-on-robot violence in 1, 2, 4, 5, 7. Everything is very 00s.
- #001: Shinn’s family blows up in the middle of an evacuation. Why pick this one? A core memory highly probative to Why Are You Like This and Why Were You So Mad About Brasov. (CW: mangled corpses.) [0:46-3:59]
- #002: A cute crazy girl in a giant robot blows up Berlin, Shinn is very sad. Why pick this one? Highly probative as to why Shinn is nonsensically mad at everyone but Kaga for Brasov. Why not pick this one? It's long. (CW: people blowing up, brief Barbie-doll nudity.) [12:12-20:32; can be combined with #3]
- #003: A cute girl dies dramatically in Shinn’s arms, Shinn continues to be very sad. Why pick this one? Same as #2 but it's shorter. [20:57-22:12].
- #004: Shinn kills Athrun (not really), also they used all the animation budget in the prior episode and everyone looks terrible. Why pick this one? Another snapshot of Why Are You Both Like This, a gateway memory for Shinn's lingering guilt. [9:04-12:22]
- #005: It’s over, Anakin, I have the high ground. [20:10-22:20]
- #006: Shinn spends the finale of his own series in time-out on the moon crying. Why pick this one? A gateway memory for Shinn's lingering guilt. [6:40-7:54]
- #007: Peacekeeping orbital drop operation in Aldrin. Why pick this one? A gateway memory for what Shinn was doing before LILITH, why he's a weird militant peacenik, and how he thinks LILITH ought to be operating (needs more dramatic j-pop BGMs). (CW: people blowing up).
- #008: ‘But in the end, you were just a convenient pawn.’ Why pick this one? Another gateway memory for Shinn's lingering guilt, Shinn's high school bully continues to torment him two years later. Second dumbest/most innocuous memory on here.
- #009: Shinn loses a sword fight to a shitty teen space psychic. Why pick this one? This is the dumb/innocuous one that requires no context.
- #010a (through 22:10)+#010b (through 6:56)+#010c (through 1:39): It's just a montage of getting slapped/punched.
