Gundam SEED

 * Phase 01 - False Peace
 * The Orb Space colony of Heliopolis is attacked by ZAFT, despite its neutrality in the 11 month war.

 * Phase 12 - Flay's Decision
 * After overcoming the initial shock of her father's death, Flay decides to enlist in the Earth Alliance, prompting Tolle, Miriallia, Kuzzy, and Sai to do the same. Kira finds himself staying on board the Archangel as well in order to continue protecting his friends.


 * Phase 13 - Stars Falling in Space
 * The Archangel descends to Earth, but not without the loss of the entire 8th Fleet and separating the members of the LeCreuset team, with Yzak and Dearka on Earth and Athrun and Nicol still in space.


 * Phase 14 - Within Endless Time
 * Recap episode. Also explains the creation of Coordinators, especially the first, George Glenn.


 * Phase 15 - The Respective Solitudes
 * The Archangel lands in the Sahara in northern Africa, which is ZAFT controlled territory and way off their intended target, Alaska.


 * Phase 16 - Burning Clouds of Sand
 * Kira must fight off ZAFT forces in the desert, his first battle on Earth. His ability to adapt amazes the deadly Andrew Waltfeld, ZAFT's Desert Tiger.  The battle ends with rebels coming to the aid of Strike and the Archangel.


 * Phase 17 - Cagalli Returns
 * Kira is reunited with Cagalli, the mysterious young woman he first encountered at Heliopolis' Morganroete factory.


 * Phase 18 - Payback
 * Though the infamous Desert Tiger has spared the lives of innocent civilians, Desert Dawn members brashly go to challenge the ZAFT forces for the devastation caused. The attack ends in failure, but most are saved by the timely interference of Kira.


 * Phase 19 - Fangs of the Enemy
 * Kira and Cagalli are sent into a nearby ZAFT controlled town to gather supplies with Natarle and Desert Dawn. The two teenagers unwittingly encounter the surprisingly insightful Desert Tiger, Andrew Waltfeld.


 * Phase 20 - On a Calm Day

 * Phase 21 - Beyond the Clouds of Sand
 * Kira and the Desert Tiger fight a battle where one of them must die, a more than painful battle for both combatants as they realize the pain of having an enemy who is not an abstraction.


 * Phase 22 - The Sea Dyed Red
 * The Archangel crew is clear to cross the Red Sea and head towards the neutral Orb Union with Cagalli and Kisaka tagging along. With the previous battle weighing heavily on him, Kira talks to Cagalli about his reasons for fighting.


 * Phase 23 - Fateful Encounter
 * A battle between ZAFT submarine forces led by Commander Marco Morrassim prevents Kira from fighting alongside Mu and Cagalli in their Skygraspers. The navigation system on Cagalli's Skygrasper goes out and she is shot down; but not before shooting down Athrun's transport.  He is ejected from the transport and is stranded on the same island with her.


 * Phase 24 - War for Two
 * Cagalli and Athrun find themselves stranded on a deserted island together while waiting for rescue. Cagalli shoots Athrun in the arm. The two come to realize fighting may be the only way to end the war and bring about peace.


 * Phase 25 - The Land of Peace
 * The Archangel enters the neutral nation of Orb under the pretence the ship has been chased away. Athrun, now in charge of the members of the Le Creuset Team, sneaks into the nation with the belief the Orb's official statement is false.


 * Phase 26 - Moment
 * A clip show, recapping the first 25 episodes. Narrated by T.M. Revolution as Miguel Aiman (in the English dub, by Tony Sampson, Miguel's voice actor).


 * Phase 27 - Endless Rondo
 * Another clip show, mostly featuring Chief Engineer Erica Simmons of Morganroete and her theories on the "SEED" (Superior Evolutionary Element Destined) factor. She works with Kira to develop a mobile suit operating system that can be used by Naturals.


 * Phase 28 - Kira
 * Lord Uzumi and Kira's parents meet and hint there they may be a deeper connection than expected between Kira and Cagalli. Kira and Athrun meet in the most unlikely of places, perhaps for the last time.


 * Phase 29 - The Turning Point
 * The Archangel leaves Orb territory for Alaska and the Zala team engage them in a battle. Kira moves to kill Athrun but Nicol makes the ultimate sacrifice for his friend...


 * Phase 30 - Flashing Blades
 * The Zala team make their last effort to destroy the Archangel and the Strike. Dearka is shot down by Mu and forced to surrender.  Tolle, Cagalli's replacement as a mobile armour pilot, makes the mistake of trying to interrupt Kira and Athrun's deadly duel.  The grief the two friends suffer is enough for them to kill each other...


 * Phase 31 - Grieving Skies
 * The crew of the Archangel grieve for the apparent deaths of Kira and Tolle. Cagalli goes to find Kira but instead finds Athrun and confronts him for killing Kira.  Meanwhile, some children and a man have found an injured young man in front of their house.


 * Phase 32 - In the Promised Land
 * The Archangel finally arrives in Alaska. A grief-striken Miriallia attacks Dearka, now a prisoner on board the Archangel, but ends up saving his life when Flay tries to shoot him.  Kira awakes and finds himself in the care of Lacus Clyne.


 * Phase 33 - Gathering Darkness
 * The crew of the Archangel find themselves under inquisition for their actions regarding their escape from Heliopolis, the fall of the 8th Fleet, and entrusting the Strike Gundam to Kira Yamato. Meanwhile, Lacus comforts Kira, who is questioning his right to live and for trying to kill Athrun.


 * Phase 34 - Seen and Unseen
 * Natarle, Mu, and Flay are all to be transfered off the Archangel. Mu suspects that something is not quite right as the Alaska base is evacuted and Flay follows him.  First appearance of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom.  Lacus and her father decide to entrust Kira with the Freedom Gundam, equipped with Neutron Jammer Cancellor technology.


 * Phase 35 - The Descending Sword
 * Operation Spitbreak is initiated, with both ZAFT and the Earth Alliance believing they have outsmarted the other. The Archangel is left behind to be destroyed in a cruel and calculating plan that would decimate everyone on the battlefield until a familiar face arrives to save them all.


 * Phase 36 - In the Name of Justice
 * First appearance of the ZGMF-X09A Justice. Lacus, now denounced a traitor to the PLANTS for handing the Freedom over to an unknown pilot, confronts Athrun and challenges him to decide what he truly is fighting for.


 * Phase 37 - Divine Thunder
 * Kira and the Archangel make their way to Orb, where Lord Uzumi welcomes them and asks that they decide for themselves why are they fighting. The Panama Mass Driver is destroyed by ZAFT in retaliation for the blow they took at Alaska.  Chief Engineer Erica Simmons presents a reconstructed Strike Gundam for the Archangel crew's use.


 * Phase 38 - Decisive Fire
 * Murrue decides the Archangel will support Orb in whatever decision it makes; crew members are discharged if they wish to join the Orb civilians if they longer wish to fight. Muruta Azrael, leader of Blue Cosmos, attacks Orb with three new machines with equally deadly pilots in order to force the nation to concede to the Earth Alliance.


 * Phase 39 - Athrun
 * Athrun must make a decision regarding whether he should continue obeying his father's orders or fight for what he believes in.


 * Phase 40 - Into the Dawn Skies
 * The Archangel and the Orb ship Kusanagi launch into outer space, while the leaders of Orb stay behind. They destroy Orb's mass-driver and armaments factories, sacrificing their own lives in the process.


 * Phase 41 - Trembling World
 * Cagalli, though grief striken with her father's death, confronts Kira with a mysterious photograph, given to her by Lord Uzumi, of a woman with two infants and Kira and Cagalli's names written on the back. Athrun decides he must have last opportunity to speak with his father.


 * Phase 42 - Lacus Strikes
 * Lacus Clyne and Andrew Waltfeld join forces, stealing the ZAFT cruiser Eternal and rescue Athrun Zala. They join forces with the Archangel and the Kusanagi.


 * Phase 43 - What Stands in the Way
 * The newly-formed "Tri-Ship Alliance" takes shelter at the abandoned Mendel Colony. Unfortunately, they are tracked there by both Rau Le Creuset's team and Capt. Natarle Bagiruel, commanding the Dominion, the second ship of the Archangel class.


 * Phase 44 - Helix Encounters
 * Mu and Dearka enter the Mendel colony to confront Rau Le Creuset and Yzak. Kira comes to aid them and he and Mu are shocked to discover Rau has more than a few secrets to reveal.


 * Phase 45 - The Opening Door
 * Kira and Mu are faced with terrifying revelations in an encounter with Rau Le Creuset. Dearka and Yzak have their own fateful meeting where they question as to what they are truly fighting against.


 * Phase 46 - A Place For the Soul (Where the Soul Belongs)
 * Flay Allster is rescued by the Dominion, and gives Muruta Azrael the disk she was given by Rau Le Creuset. It contains the specs on the Freedom and Justice Gundams, including their N-Jammer Cancellers.


 * Phase 47 - The Nightmare Reborn
 * Equipped with N-Jammer Cancellers, the Earth Forces launch an all-out attack on the PLANTs. The Boaz military asteroid is destroyed by nuclear weapons.


 * Phase 48 - Day of Wrath
 * ZAFT chairman Patrick Zala strikes back at the Earth Forces with G.E.N.E.S.I.S. (Gamma Emission by Nuclear Explosion Stimulate Inducing System); a huge gamma-ray laser. The Earth forces are forced to withdraw, but only temporarily.


 * Phase 49 - The Final Light
 * G.E.N.E.S.I.S. cripples the Earth Forces' reinforcements, then destroys their lunar base. Rau Le Creuset sorties in his new Providence Gundam. Mu La Flaga dies protecting the Archangel (although the Special Edition omits evidence of his demise, paving the way for his return in Destiny). Muruta Azrael and Natarle Badgiruel go down with their ship.


 * Phase 50 - To A Future That Never Ends (Towards an Endless Tomorrow)
 * The Archangel, Kusanagi and Eternal plunge headlong into the battle, trying to keep either side from using their weapons of mass destruction. Rau Le Creuset destroys Fllay Allster's escape shuttle, killing everyone on board. Kira destroys him with the Freedom, while Athrun remote-destructs the Justice and destroys G.E.N.E.S.I.S. With both the PLANTS and the Earth Forces in disarray, the renegades moderate faction of the PLANTS seize the opportunity to force a cease-fire, effectively ending the war.


 * After Phase - In the Valley of Stars (OVA)
 * The war has ended, and at Malchio's orphanage in the Marshall Islands, Kira, Athrun, Lacus and Cagalli reflect on the past and discuss what the future will hold.
