Sign in to edit
Please note that this is the Gundam Wiki's article on the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED episode titled "Athrun"; if you are looking for the article on the fictional Cosmic Era character, then you should head to Athrun Zala.

Athrun is Phase-39 (Phase-37 in the HD Remaster) of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It first aired in Japan on July 5, 2003, and in the United States on January 28, 2005.

Summary[]

Athrun in the Justice assists Kira fight against the Forbidden, Raider, and Calamity. As the fight continues, the three Earth Alliance pilots argue with one another, but they are interrupted when they are struck by intense pain. The Earth Alliance are forced to retreat and regroup. The two friends reunite and Athrun must decide whether he should continue obeying his father's orders or fight for what he believes in.

Plot[]

Notes & Trivia[]

Production Errors[]

  • During the Boosted Men's friendly fire, Calamity's beam cannon sounds were played when Orga yells to Shani before it was fired. This was fixed in the HD Remaster broadcast.
  • When Orga and Shani are suffering withdrawal symptoms, the sound effect was missing.
  • In the HD Remaster, the Perfect Strike Gundam has all four of the Multiple Assault Striker's batteries when Mu and Dearka tag team a group of Strike Daggers; Mu had ejected one in the previous episode and another earlier in this episode. Furthermore, the battery rack disappears entirely when the Earth Alliance's forces retreat.

HD Remaster Changes[]

Italicized lines are additional revisions featured in the BD/DVD releases.

  • The animated layer of the Strike Dagger that rushes to Juri's M1 Astray has been modified to move like it's actually walking.
  • At 5:57, A scene of Buster with the small distance specks of Freedom, Justice, Forbidden, and Raider fighting has the latter properly redrawn.
  • Shani's withdrawal symptoms were slightly slowed down.
  • Special Edition reuses:
    • Clotho/Raider and Shani/Forbidden seeing Justice for the first time.
  • Pacing speed changes:
    • The Raider swinging its hammer.
    • The Calamity intervening in the battle by firing its cannons.
    • The Forbidden diving down.
    • The Raider dodging shots from both the Justice and the Calamity.
  • Newly Animated scenes:

Quotes[]

“ Kira: "What's the big idea? Is ZAFT going to stick its nose into this battle?"
Athrun: "I have no specific orders regarding this battle! This intervention... is my decision alone!" 		”

—Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala about Athrun's intervention in the Battle of Orb, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ "They're useless!" ”

—Muruta Azrael about the Boosted Men retreating from battle, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Muruta: "That's all, folks. We're taking a break, Captain. Temporary retreat. Recall all forces."
Derleth: "What the hell?"
Muruta: "We're not gonna get much farther with the Strike Daggers alone. This just means Orb's hidden strengths are much greater than we predicted. If we try fighting without the new machines, we'll be finished." 		”

—Muruta Azrael to Derleth about temporarily retreating during the Battle of Orb, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Kira: "Yes, I'm aware of the difficulties. But I also believe that it can't be helped. I believe what Cagalli's father says to be true. Should Orb side with the Earth Forces, the Atlantic Federation will take advantage and attack the PLANTs. And the same thing if Orb decides to side with ZAFT. The only thing that differs is the enemy. But that won't help things one bit. I can no longer live with that." ”

—Kira Yamato to Athrun Zala about the significance of the Battle of Orb, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Kira: "I killed a comrade of yours. A personal friend. But I never knew him. And it's not as if I wanted to kill him. You killed Tolle. But you never knew Tolle. And it's not as if you wanted to kill him, was it?"
Athrun: "No...! I tried to kill you."
Kira: "Same here. Athrun. It would be great if we lived in a world where we didn't have to fight. If only we could live forever in such a world. But this war continues to spread." 		”

—Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala about their prior actions against each other, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Kira: "At this rate, The PLANTs and the Earth will have no choice but to destroy each other. Therefore, I've decided to fight."
Athrun: "Kira."
Kira: "Because, although it was to protect others, I have already pulled the trigger." 		”

—Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala about his decision to fight, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Athrun: "I have one question! The Freedom is equipped with a Neutron Jammer Canceller. What will you do if that data..."
Kira: "If anyone tires to get it from me, I'll shoot him myself." 		”

—Athrun Zala asking Kira Yamato about the Freddom's Neutron Jammer Canceller, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Dearka: "Hey!"
Miriallia: "What do you want?"
Dearka: "Ah, well, you see...! He's the one who killed that guy, Tolle...!"
Miriallia: "So what? Weren't you listening to what Kira was saying?"
Dearka: "Ah, Well...!"
Miriallia: "Will killing him bring Tolle back? It won't, will it? So don't even talk about it!" 		”

—Dearka Elsman and Miriallia Haw after learning Athrun Zala killed Tolle Koenig, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Muruta: "How much longer before we're ready to attack again?"
Derleth: "Orb has repeatedly been sending requests to talk things over."
Muruta: "No, it's too late for that. If we could not conquer this nation with all this battle power, it'll be in our best interest to have them disappear." 		”

—Muruta Azrael to Derleth about continuing the Battle of Orb, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Cagalli: "Kira's changed, don't you think?"
Athrun: "No."
Cagalli: "He hasen't?"
Athrun: "He's the same as always." 		”

—Cagalli Yula Athha and Athrun Zala discussing Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)

“ Shani: "I'll get those two...!"
Clotho: "Damn machines...!"
Orga: "For sure this time!" 		”

—Shani Andras, Clotho Buer and Orga Sabnak about the Freedom and Justice Gundams, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Athrun (episode)
