Day of Wrath is Phase-48 (Phase-46 in the HD Remaster) of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It first aired in Japan on September 13, 2003 and in the United States on April 1, 2005.

Summary[]

The GENESIS, a huge gamma-ray laser wipes out a large portion of Earth Alliance's forces. The Earth Alliance forces are forced to withdraw temporarily to regroup. During the intermission, each of the couples on board the Archangel, Kusanagi, and Eternal prays of each other's safety in the upcoming battle.

Plot[]

GENESIS fires and destroys a large number of Alliance ships and mobile suits. The Dominion barely dodges the blast and maneuvers quickly to escape. The Alliance fleet attempts to escape and reassemble nearby. Patrick gives a speech across all space saying that the war has turned into a massacre because of the Alliance's attempt to attack PLANTs again.

ZAFT forces continue to attack the retreating Alliance fleet, and the Dominion destroys several ships and mobile suits with its main guns. GINNs begin to chase the retreating Strike Daggers, and Kira separates from the METEOR and asks them to stop attacking those who have no will to fight. They ignore him, so he blasts their mobile suit's heads and arms off. Patrick continues his speech and says that GENESIS will be the light signaling the birth of the new human race of Coordinators.

The Dominion recovers its wounded mobile suit pilots, and Natarle prepares to help support another ship. However, Azrael yells at her and says they have to re-supply and continue attacking ZAFT. She tells him that's reckless, but he retaliates that they can't allow GENESIS to remain in existence because it could be fired at Earth. He blames the ineffectiveness of the Alliance military for allowing ZAFT to have enough time to develop GENESIS.

The Three Ships Alliance commanders and pilots gathers on the Eternal to hear Erica's analysis of GENESIS. She explains that it's a gamma ray laser that directly shoots out the energy of a nuclear bomb. She says that if it were fired at Earth it would incinerate the surface and destroy all life. Andrew comments that because both sides have used their ultimate weapons once already, they won't hesitate to use them again. He then recount that in his first battle he was hesitant about shooting at people, but he eventually got used to it, and the Alliance and ZAFT were no different in their use of nuclear weapons. Kira says that they can't allow the use of GENESIS or nuclear missiles ever again.

The Alliance fleet prepares to attack Jachin Due and GENESIS. Patrick sees that the Alliance fleet is still in the area, and Rau suggests that they're probably waiting for reinforcements. Rau asks if they will fire first, and Patrick says that even if they don't they still win. Yzak runs into Ezalia, and she tells him they are preparing to fire GENESIS again. He asks her where they will fire, but she tells him not to overdo things in battle and kisses him. On the Eternal, everyone plans how they can attack GENESIS. Andy thinks that's a problem because GENESIS has Phase Shift and is protected by Jachin Due and a large fleet.

The Alliance fleet launches and prepares to attack again. The Three Ships Alliance prepares to launch, and Lacus gives Kira a ring and asks him to come back to her. He promises he will and kisses her before leaving. Cagalli tells Athrun that she'll be launching in the Strike Rouge, and he asks her why. She says there are things that she can do and wants to do, and she doesn't want him or Kira to die. Athrun hugs her and tells her he's glad he met her. He then tells her he'll protect her and kisses her. The mobile suit forces from Jachin Due attack the Alliance, and the Dominion launches its Gundams. Murrue comes down to visit Mu in the hangar, and he tells her he will come back victorious and kisses her. The replacement mirror is positioned in front of GENESIS, and Patrick sets the target as the Ptolemaeus Crater on the Moon to destroy the Alliance base. He tells Rau that he has to make up for not destroying the Eternal by keeping them away from the PLANTs. Rau asks if that includes him having to kill Athrun, and Patrick tells him to do whatever it takes.

The TSA ships launch all their mobile suits, and Kira and Athrun dock with their METEOR units. Elsewhere, Rau takes his pills before throwing away the container, and prepares to launch in the new Providence Gundam. With the new mirror in place, Patrick orders GENESIS to fire again.
