Havoc10K:
If you see someone getting mental breakdowns on events that follow up the previous events, that someone is not fit to survive, normal human adapt to new situations, especially a young person would. It's not normal for a young man to continually fall in MB, you need to adapt, if you can't make other peoples dreams come true and fucking die already, if you don't want to die, don't fall in MB and adapt. It took Shu only 4 MBs to adapt, while everyone else took NONE.
Shows who is fit to survive in harsh circumstances.

For the most part he does. You're overexaggerating how many breakdowns he has, and how large they are. He adapted to PLENTY of situations (ie, doing the training, thinking about how to use his powers during training, etc.)
And no, most people can go their entire lives without having to experience anything like what he had to. Most people would probably die in these situations because they CAN'T adapt that quickly, young or not. Not that it matters, because he had special powers and he was the protagonist.

Yeah, then why don't you get thrust into this and die. Or what, you think you're some kind of hot shit?
A person's ability to adapt depends on a lot of internal factors. He might just be more emotional than most internally. Who knows? Either way, the reason that he didn't die is probably because he had the special powers. IE the fact that he was the main protagonist.
Either way, I don't give a fuck about what you think SHOULD have happened to the main protagonist (ie died). He didn't. And, no, his mental reactions were hardly implausible.

You're dissing his mental integrity while using everyone else's to support your point, within the same show? You realize in most of these kind of shows only the main protagonist and MAYBE a few close people are even close to well developed. Also, EVERYONE ELSE gets so LITTLE screentime, that you don't know what they're doing in their rooms or anything.
I think you need to learn what a mental breakdown means.
For all we know the other characters off-screen could have had 10 or more periods where they weren't able to function normally because of stress. Not to mention Shu is AT THE TOP. The amount of stress he suffers, being at the top, is a LOT higher than them. \
If you want me to list out all of the contribution factors of stress in his position, feel free.
Otherwise, stop talking bullshit. I was a bit skeptical responding to someone that used Sky Girls/Strike Witches as a positive example of plot, and you're rapidly affirming my skepticism.

Wait, there was some character development in this show ? Shu didn't really grow, Inori HAD NO personality to develop. The only person that had any value was killed. Seriously, even in Code Geass there was character development.

Dunno, that's not really my point. Your argument ended at whether or not him having mental breakdowns was justified/warranted.
Whether they help him develop? Yeah, they do. He has a few mentionable transition periods. A lot of them are just subtle enough to where you're wondering if anything really happened (the net "development" of his character isn't that high).
As for other characters developing? Yes, but very limited. That was what my entire last paragraph was about. They obviously didn't care that much about the other characters.
Inori developed by slowly coming to love Shu. It was super subtle, and happened slowly... which is what they generally do in these kind of shows. The other one was... strangely that slutty blond girl (forgot her name). She developed, alright... in a very strange direction (ie she's crazy).
