Quotes[]

“ Cagalli: "Kira!"
Kira: "Cagalli!"
Cagalli: "You dame fool!" Why... You...! I thought you were dead! You jerk!"
Kira: "Sorry."
Cagalli: "You're really alive?"
Kira: "I'm alive. I've returned." 		”

—Cagalli Yula Athha and Kira Yamato reuniting after the latter's believed death, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Uzumi: "Due to the destruction of the Earth Forces' Headquarters, this world is once again shifting in a new direction. Once you get some rest, I shall give you a rundown on the latest news. You shall hear for yourselves, and be left with a lot to think about. You may even ask yourselves why you put on that uniform in the first place." ”

—Uzumi Nara Athha to Murrue Ramius and the Archangel crew, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Kira: "I see. So you met Athrun."
Cagalli: "We went to search for you, but we found him instead. He was devastated... He was crying, saying he killed you."
Kira: "In that battle, I killed his friend... and he killed Tolle. There was no way around it. For me, and I'm sure for Athrun as well."
Cagalli: "You’ve been friends since you were little, right?"
Kira: "As long as I can remember, Athrun has been strong in character, and he has helped me on numerous occasions."
Cagalli: "What made you remain on the Earth Forces' side, even after knowing you had to fight him? Well, you’re a Coordinator, after all... So it seems foolish to stay, knowing you had to fight your friend."
Kira: "I thought... if I didn't, everyone would die. I'm a Coordinator, after all. The truth is... the honest truth is...! I guess I never thought it could possibly happen, that I would kill Athrun, or Athrun would kill me." 		”

—Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha about Kira's relationship with Athrun Zala and why he fought against him, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Miriallia: "Dinner's served. Things were a bit hectic back there. Sorry for the delay. What is it?"
Dearka: "Ah, nothing. I just didn't expect you to be bringing it, honey."
Miriallia: "Honey?"
Dearka: "I'm sorry. Ma'am!"
Miriallia: "My name's Miriallia. Not 'honey'."
Dearka: "Y-You mean, I can call you by your name?"
Miriallia: "No!" 		”

—Miriallia Haw and Dearka Elsman, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Uzumi: "A Cyclops System? But even if information on the enemy had been leaked, going through with such a plan seems rather extreme."
Ledonir: "However, it is undeniable that it took out 80 percent of ZAFT's attacking forces. For the military strategists, it's nothing but numbers on paper... with an added bonus of sacrificing only the unwanted." 		”

—Uzumi Nara Athha and Ledonir Kisaka about the Earth Alliance's action during Operation Spitbreak, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Uzumi: "The Atlantic Federation has been putting pressure on the neutral nations. They're being told that any nation refusing to join the Alliance Forces will be declared an enemy. Of course our nation, Orb, is no exception."
Cagalli: "They just want Orb's power!" 		”

—Uzumi Nara Athha And Cagalli Yula Athha about the Atlantic Federation's actions towards neutral nations, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Uzumi: "As I'm sure you're aware, our nation does not refuse entry to Coordinators. We are one of a few nations that will allow anyone to enter and reside in the country, as long as they honour the ideas and laws of our nation. We should not be judged by whether or not our genes have been modified. The only thing accomplished by labelling people as 'Coordinators' or 'Naturals' is to produce friction between people. Cagalli is a Natural, and Kira is a Coordinator. These are facts that they themselves have no control over."
Kira: "You're right, sir."
Uzumi: "I cannot agree with the ways of the Atlantic Federation, to label every Coordinator as evil and as an enemy, and to attack every one of them without justification. Who's really fighting who? And for what reason?" 		”

—Uzumi Nara Athha and Kira Yamato about the Orb Union and its relationship with Naturals and Coordinators, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Mu: "However, although I do understand your point... excuse me for saying this, but isn't your position just an ideal theory? It may be ideal, but Coordinators will continue to look down on Naturals, and Naturals will continue to be jealous of Coordinators. That's the reality."
Uzumi: "I realise that. Needless to say, it's not as if our nation has no problems of its own. But if we give up on trying to improve things, in the end we'll have no option but to eliminate one another. At that point, it would be too late to do anything but reflect and regret. But you would suggest that we should just shut up and let this happen, because that’s the way of the world?" 		”

—Mu La Flaga challenging Uzumi Nara Athha's views on the relationship between Naturals and Coordinators, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Kira: "How do you view this, Lord Uzumi?"
Uzumi: "I believe we're no longer in a position where our swords... can be simply for display." 		”

—Kira Yamato and Uzumi Nara Athha about the current situation of the war, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Vosgulov Captain: "Isn't our homeland demanding too much, asking us to destroy Panama with such limited forces?"
Rau: "It can't be helped. Unless we can disrupt the momentum the Earth Forces have gained from Alaska, the Chairman and the PLANTs will find themselves on thin ice. We need to shut the gate to space and trap them here on Earth. For that reason, we must crush Panama's Mass Driver."
Vosgulov Captain: "What about the Gungnirs?"
Rau: "Everything's proceeding as planned."
Vosgulov Captain: "The problem's on our side. Will we be able to take control of the target point before the descent?"
Rau: "They swear this battle will be our vengeance. We will succeed." 		”

—Vosgulov Captain and Rau Le Creuset discussing the need to attack Panama Base, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Flay: "Why? Why did you take me?"
Rau: "You're already as good as dead, Flay Allster. Back in Alaska, whether I had shot you or let you go, you would've ended up dead. If you shoot me right here, you will die within moments. The soldiers will shoot you. If that doesn't suit you, your only other option would be to point that gun at yourself and pull the trigger. The gun is loaded, I presume. On the battlefield, life is cheap. It's lost in an instant. But still, people fight for their country. For justice. However, none of that... suits you. You may be wearing a military uniform, but you’re no soldier. Am I wrong?" 		”

—Flay Allster and Rau Le Creuset, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ "What's so fun about firing at targets that aren't even moving?" ”

—Yzak Joule's response to seeing ZAFT troops kill surrendering EA soldiers, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Mu: "You intend to fight, even though you're alone?"
Kira: "I'll just do what I can; that's all I can hope for. I don't like things as they are now, but I don't think anything will be solved like this." 		”

—Mu La Flaga asking Kira Yamato about his intentions to continue fighting in the war, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder

“ Kira: "I can't help thinking it's still too soon for you to be sparring with me."
Mu: "Quiet! Don't tell me what to do! Here I go!" 		”

—Kira Yamato and Mu La Flaga just before their first mobile suit training battle, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Divine Thunder
