Would it not have been badass if Setsuna piloted his busted Exia throughout season 2?
IMO, there must be a reason behind why Celestial Being is still keeping Exia. Even though it was worn out and desperately needing extensive work, Exia managed to keep almost at the same level as the AHEAD and GNX-i that Setsuna faced in the 1st episode. I am sure that with another arm (it not the original, at least one salvaged from a FLAG or ENACT) and a couple of beam sabers, Setsuna would have owned them.
BTW, it wouldn't be a surprise if Exia is brought back into action. Remember Gundam Mk II and Zeta Gundam? Zeta replaced Mk II at some point, and in ZZ Gundam they were both brought back to action even though at that point Mk II was WAY outdated and Zeta was already showing its age.

I dunno... I think they might bring it back into action, but I doubt it would last that long. I wish they'd kept the tattered cape and used it on 00 though. That really made the Exia look amazing!
If that happened, I'd place it just under Gurren-Lagann in my epic animes list.
I loved how it took two AHEADs to destroy a five-year-old Gundam, THAT tells you something ;)

I'm not a big fan of 00's gn gunblades due to looks. I think they should give 00 a similar blade from Exia, because it's so badass.

It would have been nicer if we saw a bit more of EXIA in its rundown state, I agree.. maybe 1 or 2 episodes of him having losing fights in it before returning to celestial being to get the 00 ^^

It would have been badass, but i still don't mind 00, its just too cool to hate.
I am just wondering how on earth did his Gundam still can get power? After all it needs to recharge from somewhere.

Um this is Gundam not Gurren Lagann haha, they seem to care a good bit about specs in this and I doubt that the Exia had any other big uber power secrets.
Haha if he had done that he really would have been a Kamikaze soldier. I always wondered why they called the series Gundam 00 until they actually brought out 00. Exia looks like a baby if you compare it with 00. Looks like 00 but if smaller and weaker =p.
I think it would have been rather Shiro Amada-like if he had used Exia throughout all of Season 2. Come on, an underpowered suit takes on the Masurao now ... given it'd definitely take a lot of hits and Setsuna would have to improve to Shiro/Amura/Kira/Kamille -like piloting skills. Not to say he would win considering how Kira was entirely owned in the Strike-Freedom debut episode where he was piloting Strike-Rouge...but hey, there's something appealing about seeing a pilot win as opposed to his mecha--which is what Gundam 00 is seriously about, at least in my opinion.
If setsuna piloted Exia in season 2, it would not be season 2 since exia will be instantly obliterated by the innovator's new suits, gadessa and garazzo. also, if you noticed, mr bushido is always going after setsuna and if setsuna did pilot exia, he would have been sliced by mr. bushido's custom ahead.

I never thought about how badass it would be till I stumbled on this thread. Would be cool but the odds are totally against him

If he did pilot that messed up exia, that would be a great display of skill, but then something would be wrong if the whole group is still alive and no one fixes his gundam.

Don´t forget the fact that Exia´s GN Drive is currently being used in the 00 Gundam.
Where Celestial Being will find another GN Drive to use it in Gundam Exia?
It will be nice see the exia in a final mission, fighting to restore the order once again in this uniffied world, but unlikely.

To reply to the OP's post, yeah it would be totally badass if he piloted the Exia throughout Season 2. The cape, the eye, those were the makings of an awesome Season had they been kept. Add a bit of GAR to Setsuna's persona and voila the series just got that more awesome. Also, it'd be going towards a more Shounen genre as we are taught that if you put in guts and hardwork, it will always overcome technology.
