Kira didn't budge an inch, pressing back against Setsuna's attack with his defense with as much strength as he could give. But the other man's words... "That's true. With my mobile suit, I can do things to help change the world. I can protect the people who will change it with me."

Of course, even with both arms otherwise engaged... he still had the particle cannon in the suit's chest. See that cannon? It's sparking to life, Setsuna. Might want to get out of there quick.

"...But none of us can bring about true change with just pure power alone!"

Kira fired. Even at this point blank range, he was angled just precisely so that the shot would hit high, taking off the other mobile suit's main cameras but avoiding the cockpit.
