Let's thoroughly explain the ZGMF-X191M2 Infinite Justice Type Two. This explanation consolidates all the new details from Japanese resources such as novels, character books, director statements, and excessively detailed descriptions found after watching the movie 30 times, along with official documents. There's bound to be information you don't know. We'll cover everything from Athrun's incredibly skilled techniques, the Amazing Zgok, the truth behind remote operation, the final battle with Shiva, to the weaknesses of the Head Beam Blade.

☆Basic Information
First, let's take a look at the super basic information about the unit. The model number is ZGMF-X191M2, and the unit name is Infinite Justice Type Two. The basic configuration includes the main body of the unit and the Lifter. Additionally, there's the Cavalier Eifrid treated as additional armament. This unit, modified from the Infinite Justice, was revealed in the main story when a Zgok, struck by the Black Knight Squad Shiva's VIG-M70C Close-in Needle Projection System, exposed its armor by purging it. Numerous updates have been made on the attack front, including the addition of the Head Beam Blade, alongside the newly modified Lifter from the Infinite Justice. Pilot Athrun, after protecting Kira, engages in combat against the Black Knight Squad Shiva.

☆Concept
Next, let's take a look at the aircraft concept. There are two major concepts for this aircraft: extraordinary close combat capabilities and the concept of being a super multi-role aircraft capable of handling heavy firepower in conjunction with the Cavalier, as well as stealth and information warfare. Regarding the concept as a close combat aircraft, except for one point, Type Two's concept doesn't seem to have changed much compared to the traditional Infinite Justice. The Infinite Justice, remaining unchanged from the X-09A Justice, focuses primarily on tricky and high-speed combat. In contrast to the opulent and explosive Freedom, it has become an aircraft with abundant close combat weaponry. The X09A Justice is equipped with numerous machine guns, such as the Volucris Machine Gun and Cervus Turret Machine Gun mounted on the Fatum, in addition to direct close combat weapons such as the Lacerta Beam Saber and the Bassel Beam Boomerang on both shoulders, allowing it to employ suppression tactics at close range and steer the battle into its preferred range. Furthermore, as it evolves into InfiniteJustice, this concept is further enhanced, with an increase in weaponry focusing on close combat, such as the Griffon Beam Blade and Shining Edge Beam Boomerang. In the Type Two, the blades of the Lifter have doubled, and the aircraft has evolved to be even more tricky and adept at high-speed combat, with additions like the Head Beam Blade. Additionally, its multi-role capabilities are further enhanced by combining with the Cavalier. The Cavalier can carry Justice's Lifter, allowing it to be deployed alongside Justice for maneuvers such as carrying Justice for a full burst attack.

☆Additional Concept
The concept that changed in one aspect is the addition of the multi-lock concept to the unit. The Infinite Justice Type Two has honed its multi-lock and full burst capabilities. When fighting with the Cavalier Eifrid as a set, the Infinite Justice Type Two performs a full burst attack by boarding the Cavalier during the Requiem operation. At first glance, it may not seem so by just looking at the main body of the unit, but examining the wing unit, which is the backpack part, reveals the multi-lock capability. For example, the beam blades added to the expanded four-wing unit are adept at taking out multiple units in one go rather than targeting specific individual targets, and the beam cannons mounted at their tips are also optimal for multi-lock. Why was the multi-lock concept added? It's because the spatial awareness ability of the pilot, Athrun, has improved. As evidence, in the story, Athrun effortlessly utilizes the Super DRAGOON while piloting the Strike Freedom Type Two. Looking back at the Battle of Yakin Due, Athrun had significantly fewer lock-on targets compared to Kira during the simultaneous firing by the METEOR. At that time, it was evident that his spatial awareness ability was not as advanced. However, Athrun, despite having auxiliary systems, mastered the use of the Super DRAGOON and even handled the equipment of the Strike Freedom, which would have been difficult for anyone other than Kira to manage. Therefore, it can be inferred that Athrun's spatial awareness ability has improved compared to before. The wing unit of the Type Two is equipped with weapons capable of multi-locking like this. By the way, Coordinators are known for their ability to acquire specific skills faster through training compared to Naturals, so Athrun must have undergone considerable training regarding spatial awareness ability.
