Gundam Seed

Everyone must be well aware of it by now; it is the reason why ever since man had the capacity to understand, conflicts never disappear from human history. Our greatest enemy is ever-present is the ignorance and desire within us that we can never keep subdued. We distanced ourselves from the violent Earth and took refuge in space, and now that we have achieved the physical and mental abilities we desired above all else, people still do not understand each other. They still do not understand themselves, and with fear blocking their judgment, people cannot see the future.

Neo Roanoke: Thats funny. When did I become a commander? I already made it clear to you that Im a captain. Im your prisoner, but that doesnt mean you can demote me.

— Gundam Seed funny

Narrator: Year 70 of the Cosmic Era. Tensions between the PLANTs and Earth were at an all time high since the conflict began. It was first assumed that the Earth forces, with their superior numbers would be victorius, but these initial assessments proved to be false.

— Gundam Seed time

Tolle Koenig: Sure. Theres no need to worry. Although theyre close, were a neutral entity. Its unthinkable for Orb to become a battlefield.

— Gundam Seed think

Rau Le Creuset: It will be too late. I have a sixth sense about these things. If we let things slip now, we would eventually have to pay for those actions with our lives. The Earth Forces new model mobile weapons we must seize them before theyre moved from there.

— Gundam Seed art

Tolle Koenig: Sai wrote her a letter? To Flay Allster? Looks like you got some competition, Kira Yamato.

— Gundam Seed ya

Natarle Badgiruel: This place is so peaceful Just think, there are people their age already fighting on the front line.

— Gundam Seed people

Cagalli Yula Athha: I knew it. The Earth Forces new mobile weapons. Father, I knew youd betray us all!

— Gundam Seed art

Rau Le Creuset: Tell me, do you feel my presence? Do you sense it the same way that I sense yours? A rather unfortunate twist of fate, wouldnt you say Mu La Flaga?

— Gundam Seed fate

Murrue Ramius: You kids dont understand anything! By declaring that youre neutral and have nothing to do with this, you can still distance yourselves from whats happening? You dont really believe that, do you?

— Gundam Seed believe

Rau Le Creuset: You always seem to get in my way, Mu La Flaga! Though I imagine you would probably say the same about me!

— Gundam Seed you

Kuzzey Buskirk: Nothing. Just that in Kiras case we can only say it was tough for him, and thats it. Kira said he rewrote the OS for that thing, right? When did he do that?

— Gundam Seed right

Kuzzey Buskirk: I cant imagine Kira had any previous knowledge of that thing. So, when did he rewrite the OS? I figured all along that Kira had to be a Coordinator. To think that Coordinators, born genetically-enhanced, do these amazing things, but to them its nothing more than tough. The guys in ZAFT are all like that. Do the Earth Forces have any chance fighting against these guys?

— Gundam Seed knowledge

Kira Yamato: What you say may be correct, that there is a war going on outside our world. But we dont agree with it! We dislike war! And that is why we chose to be here in neutral territory!

— Gundam Seed war

Rau Le Creuset: How can you call a colony thats manufacturing new weapons for the Earth Forces neutral?

— Gundam Seed art

Mu La Flaga: Mr. Murdoch is pretty upset, you know? We dont have enough people. So, you maintain your machine, okay?

— Gundam Seed people

Mu La Flaga: Well, lets just say thats whats been decided. The fact is, youre the only one capable of piloting that thing. It cant be helped.

— Gundam Seed you

Kira Yamato: Sure, I rode the thing twice, only because I had no choice! But Im not a soldier or anything!

— Gundam Seed choice

Mu La Flaga: So, when the fighting starts again, you refuse to use it? Are those going to be your last words, huh?

— Gundam Seed art

Mu La Flaga: Kira, you have the power to make a difference, dont you? Then why not put it to use. We have precious little time, including time to think it over.

— Gundam Seed time

Kira Yamato: I may be able to operate the mobile suit but that doesnt mean I know how to fight a battle!

— Gundam Seed ya

Athrun Zala: Kira fails to see hes being manipulated by the Naturals! Brilliant as he is, he is also naive and good-natured. Theyre exploiting him, but hes blind to it. Thats why I have to go back! I have to reason with him! Kira is still a fellow Coordinator! Im positive that hell come around to our way of thinking.

— Gundam Seed nature

Kira Yamato: Its not that I want to fight but I do want to protect this ship. Because of the people on board.

— Gundam Seed people

Mu La Flaga: Its the same for us all. You wont find too many people who wish to fight for no reason at all. We fight because unless we fight, we cannot protect.

— Gundam Seed people

Athrun Zala: Thats enough, Kira. Quiet! Just let me take you. Otherwise otherwise, Ill have no choice but to shoot you.

— Gundam Seed choice

Yzak Joule: Stupid bastard! Are you out of your mind? If it hadnt been your interfering for no reason

— Gundam Seed mind

Yzak Joule: We went out in four machines, and we still couldnt get him. Its too humilating for words.

— Gundam Seed words

Patrick Zala: We fight because it is the only way that we can protect ourselves. If we must fight so that we may protect, then we have no choice but to fight.

— Gundam Seed choice

Mu La Flaga: Give me a break. The minute we solve the problem with the supplies, we get thrown another in the form of a pink-haired princess.

— Gundam Seed lies

Flay Allster: No, Im not! But the stance those people take I dont think theyre really wrong. Anyone who has their genes operated on, when they are not sick or anything, is against what nature intended. The truth is you all agree with me, dont you?

— Gundam Seed truth

Sai Argyle: What a beautiful voice! But I wonder is that voice a result of fiddling around with her genes?

— Gundam Seed beautiful

Lacus Clyne: But your kindness doesnt come from being a Coordinator its because of who you are, Kira Yamato.

— Gundam Seed kindness

Flay Allster: I promise I will kill this girl. If they keep firing at my fathers ship, I swear Ill kill this girl. Tell them that! GO AHEAD!!

— Gundam Seed father

Athrun Zala: Using a rescued civilian as a hostage? So do you still feel justified in fighting alongside these cowards? Kira!?

— Gundam Seed war

Mu La Flaga: The only reason our officers would resort to such dubious actions is because were weak.

— Gundam Seed action

Flay Allster: You didnt make any serious effort to fight them, did you? Its because youre a Coordinator too, isnt it?!

— Gundam Seed fight

Yzak Joule: I suggest the cowards keep their traps shut. Are there only ten minutes or are there a full ten minutes? Its all in how you look at it.

— Gundam Seed war

Rau Le Creuset: Each side strives for justice, but both have a different idea of what that means. And so on the battlefield, all those whose strike at the enemy do so for their just cause.

— Gundam Seed justice

Rau Le Creuset: The dove is a symbol of peace. Its not born with the sharp beak or claws that can inflict a fatal attack, so they say if these two birds were pitted against each other it would undoubtedly be a long, gruesome battle.

— Gundam Seed peace

George Glenn: Fellow humans, I have kept something from you. But today my secret shall be revealed: I did not come into this world through natural birth. My genes were altered artificially early in the embryonic stage of my development.

— Gundam Seed art

George Glenn: Gazing upon the Earth from outer space, I am reminded of a thought I had That I am bridge connecting our home planet to the vast reaches of space where so much is yet to be understood. I am also a human, straggling between the present world and our future. I am the regulator, the coordinator, the one who is meant to guide the way.

— Gundam Seed art

Rau Le Creuset: Suspicion, ignorance, prejudice, the dark emotions directed at those who can be loved. If love is the brightest light, then are these emotions created from the shadow it casts? Things that are different, things we dont understand, differences that foster anxiety, leading to hatred, and ultimatelyconfrontation.

— Gundam Seed love

Rau Le Creuset: Even if we know all about the source for the existence of humans, we cannot change their hearts. Those who possess the gift do not understand the feelings of those who dont; and those who dont envy those who do. There are people who still love others who are different to them, but this feeling cannot be transferred by gunfire.

— Gundam Seed love

Flay Allster: Kira, you are going to fight, and fight, and fight until you die. Its the only way I will ever forgive you.

— Gundam Seed fight

Andrew Waltfeld: When the coffee is first-rate, so is everything else. All right, lets go fight a war.

— Gundam Seed war

Kira Yamato: Thats enough! If I took this seriously, you wouldnt stand a chance in a fight against me.

— Gundam Seed ya

Mu La Flaga: This is likely payback for what you did to them last night. Id say its awfully kind of the Tiger to let you off with something minor like this.

— Gundam Seed night

Cagalli Yula Athha: How dare you?! Something minor like this? Having a town burnt down is minor? How could you regard anyone who would do this as kind?

— Gundam Seed you

Mu La Flaga: Im sorry, I apologize if I upset you in any way. But the enemy is an established army. Im sure you realize if they were serious, it would have been much worse.

— Gundam Seed you

Andrew Waltfeld: Whenever people are put to the test, I often hear them boast, Id rather die. But do you think they honestly mean it?

— Gundam Seed people

Cagalli Yula Athha: Youve got no right to go up to other people and tell them how to eat their food!

— Gundam Seed people

Andrew Waltfeld: Unlike in sports, the game of war has no set time limit and no points are awarded, so how do you determine the winners and the losers? When all your enemies are destroyed? Perhaps then.

— Gundam Seed war

Siegel Clyne: By allowing the war to spread, you also bring about more hatred. How far do you people intend to take this?

— Gundam Seed war

Patrick Zala: We Coordinators are very different; we should view ourselves as a completely new species. Theres no reason to cooexist with Naturals.

— Gundam Seed reason

Siegel Clyne: How can you call us a new species when signs indicate that we are nearing the end of our road? Even with our push toward regulated marriage, birth rates among third-generation Coordinators are declining!

— Gundam Seed war

Patrick Zala: We can no longer throw away our power and turn back from our evolutionary path so that we may return to being Naturals.

— Gundam Seed power

Mu La Flaga: Its better not to know too much about the enemy. Try to forget. Knowing about a man youre about to fight with for your life just makes the battle more difficult.

— Gundam Seed life

Andrew Waltfeld: Told you. He was even better the other day when his intensity was turned up. You should have seen him. Unbelievable!

— Gundam Seed you

Aisha: Youre taking this rather well. This is difficult for you, isnt it? I can tell youre really fond of him.

— Gundam Seed you

Cagalli Yula Athha: My feelings toward someone have nothing to do with them being Coordinator or Natural.

— Gundam Seed war

Athrun Zala: My mother was at Junius Seven, which was only a PLANT for agriculture. Countless people, including children, died instantly from the nuclear attack. Did you expect me to sit back and do nothing?

— Gundam Seed people

Cagalli Yula Athha: I know its Orbs fault for making them. But that thing, that mobile suit will kill lots of earth people.

— Gundam Seed art

Athrun Zala: Fine, then shoot. Because Id be the one pulling the trigger. I am a ZAFT soldier to the bitter end. I will not let you tamper with that machine. And if you try to shoot methen I will have to kill you!

— Gundam Seed you

Uzumi Nara Athha: Do you honestly believe I would risk the fate of an entire nation and its people for the sake of one spoiled little girl?

— Gundam Seed people

Nicol Amalfi: I guess I figured I should do my part and join the fight after hearing about Junius Seven.

— Gundam Seed art

Uzumi Nara Athha: If you should kill someones husband in battle, then his wife will despise you for that. And if you were to kill someones son, then his mother will hate you for that as well Because if someone were to take your life, I would hate them with all my heart.

— Gundam Seed life

Athrun Zala: Why dont you just come out and say it, Yzak? Its my fault! He died because he was trying to save me.

— Gundam Seed you

Dearka Elsman: Athrun, stop it! You too, Yzak. Fighting each other isnt going to help one bit. And remember that the Strike is our real enemy.

— Gundam Seed man

Yzak Joule: I know that! Obviously! Hes the one who killed Miguel. And he gave me this scar. The next time we meet, Ill get him!

— Gundam Seed time

Nicol Amarfi: Oh Athrun! Thanks for coming to the concert the other day. Come on! You were sleeping. I guess I figured I should do my part and join the fight after hearing about Junius Seven.

— Gundam Seed art

Athrun Zala: Damn it. It should have been me. I should have been the one to die, not him. Nicol. its all because I was too weak to defeat Kira in the past. It was my weakness that killed you. Ill kill him. the next time we meet.

— Gundam Seed time

Mu La Flaga: Were soldiers. Were not murderers. Were fighting a war! If one doesnt shoot, one gets shot!

— Gundam Seed war

Cagalli Yula Athha: What happened to the pilot? Did he escape like you did? Eject? Or we couldnt find Kira anywhere. Say something!

— Gundam Seed you

Athrun Zala: Hes gone Because I killed him. Its true. I did it. I trapped the Strike with my Aegis and blew up. I dont see how he could have escaped. That was the only option I had left to finish him.

— Gundam Seed true

Cagalli Yula Athha: Kira took too many risks, didnt always know what he was doing and always cried. But he was kind. He was a nice guy!

— Gundam Seed man

Athrun Zala: I asked him to come with us, over and over! Because he was a Coordinator, cant you see? He was one of us, thats where he belonged! It wasnt right for him to be on the side of the Earth forces!

— Gundam Seed art

Athrun Zala: But whenever we talked, he wouldnt listen! He fought against us, even hurting friends of mine! And then he killed Nicol!

— Gundam Seed friends

Athrun Zala: He killed Nicol right in front of my eyes! Nicol was fifteen. He loved the piano. He only fought to protect the PLANTs and Kira killed him.

— Gundam Seed love

Cagalli Yula Athha: Kira only fought to protect the things he wished to protect as well. That still doesnt explain why he had to pay with his life! And in the hands of his best friend, of all people!

— Gundam Seed life

Cagalli Yula Athha: One guys killed for killing another and then hes killed for killing him. How is that kind of twisted thinking ever gonna bring us peace? Well?

— Gundam Seed peace

Sai Argyle: Tolle is missing, Kira is missing. Everybody is upset right now. And that includes me. To be honest, Im really not in the mood to comfort you right now. Sorry. Go ask somebody else.

— Gundam Seed sin

Miriallia Haw: Tolles gone, and hes never coming back! And yet this creep what is this scumbag doing here!?

— Gundam Seed

Natarle Badgiruel: The military must be regulated. It requires both soldiers who follow the orders of their superiors and commanders who look at the larger picture and make the appropriate decisions. Otherwise, the ship cannot be victorious or hope to survive in battle.

— Gundam Seed hope

Patrick Zala: As we embark on this historic day, we pray that this operation will lead to true freedom and justice.

— Gundam Seed freedom

Kira Yamato: If you just did nothing because you thought it wouldnt help, then youd end up doing less than nothing, for nothing would change and nothing would end.

— Gundam Seed change

Miriallia Haw: What kind of strategy is this!? Because this is a war and because were all supposed to be good soldiers if they tell us to then I guess were just supposed to throw away our lives.

— Gundam Seed war

Murrue Ramius: If the object of this whole battle was to lure the ZAFT forces closer in, then in my opinion this ship has already accomplished its mission. Note that I, Murrue Ramius, captain of the Archangel, make this decision alone. No other crew member is to be held responsible for these actions.

— Gundam Seed change

Kira Yamato: Ms. Murrue. What is it you think we should be fighting against to end all of this? Whatever it is, its about time we started fighting against it.

— Gundam Seed time

Lacus Clyne: What is it you believe in? What is it you should be fighting for now? Is it for that medal you received? Or your fathers orders? Because if that is so, youll likely find yourself fighting Kira as his enemy againand youll be fighting me, too.

— Gundam Seed self

Lacus Clyne: So if I am to be your enemy then you might as well shoot me now, Athrun Zala, soldier of ZAFT.

— Gundam Seed you

Lacus Clyne: Youll find Kira on Earth. I suggest that youll have a talk with him. He is your friend.

— Gundam Seed art

Uzumi Nara Athha: We believe that no one should be judged by whether or not his or her genes were altered. Cagalli is a Natural and Kira is a Coordinator. These are things they have no control over.

— Gundam Seed believe

Uzumi Nara Athha: Have they decided its not worth the effort to hide their true colors from us now that theyve lost Panama? Damn the Atlantic Federation!

— Gundam Seed true

Kuzzey Buskirk: If Im the only one who says that he wants to leave then everyone will think that Im afraid, that Im just a coward! And maybe thats true, but theres nothing I can do on board; nothing to do with fighting! I leave that stuff to the guys who are able to do it.

— Gundam Seed war

Muruta Azrael: Its extremely important that you not damage Morgenroete or the mass driver. Do you understand?

— Gundam Seed age

Athrun Zala: I havent received any specific military orders regarding this battle. This intervention is my decision alone.

— Gundam Seed alone

Miriallia Haw: So, what is your point? Werent you listening to Kira? This is what he meant! Would killing him bring Tolle back to me? Of course it wouldnt. So, why dont you just stop talking about it?

— Gundam Seed you

Uzumi Nara Athha: Weve been declared an enemy, but does that mean were not even worth listening to!?

— Gundam Seed listening

Athrun Zala: Both of us completely understood what you meant, and that there are things in this world you want to protect sometimes you gotta fight for them.

— Gundam Seed time
