Eve of Chaos (混沌の先に Oonton no Saki ni) is Phase-35 of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It first aired in Japan on June 18, 2005, and in the United States on December 7, 2007.
Summary[]
Kira survives due to the Freedom's cockpit being intact and is rescued by Cagalli. Despite his victory, Shinn is scolded by Athrun who defends that Kira does not deserve to be killed and the Archangel and the Freedom are not enemies leading the two ZAFT pilots in a heated argument. Durandal's words inspire a widespread popular uprising against Logos, while the damaged Archangel heads for Orb. Durandal visits the Minerva and introduces the Destiny and Legend mobile suits, which are intended as replacements for the Impulse and Savior, respectively.
Plot[]
Shinn defeated the Freedom. However, unknown to Shinn, Kira survived the ordeal since the cockpit was unscathed during the Impulse's final attack. The Archangel escaped from the Minerva by submerging underwater and detaching its damaged engines to fake its destruction.
Back at the Minerva, the ZAFT recruits were rejoicing over Shinn's victory and Rey congratulated the latter for defeating the Freedom. Shinn then told an exasperated Athrun that the former took revenge and avenged the latter's defeat. Hearing this, Athrun grabbed Shinn by the shirt and told the latter that Kira was not even trying to shoot Shinn down, but rather protecting the Archangel. Although the two were being restrained by Lunamaria and one of the recruits, the argument continued as Athrun asked Shinn if the young pilot was satisfied that he killed the Freedom's pilot. Shinn replied that he deserved to feel happy since he defeated a powerful enemy. He then asked Athrun that instead the former should be crying, praying or even getting killed during the battle. Athrun then punched Shinn after hearing this. Shinn was about to retaliate until Luna, one of the recruits and Rey restrained the two.
Rey then told Athrun that despite Shinn's unacceptable attitude, he succeeded in following ZAFT's orders; to take down the Archangel and defeat the Freedom and should be congratulated instead of being criticized over the young pilot's actions. Athrun told Rey and Shinn that there was no reason for Kira to get killed in the battle and the Freedom and the Archangel were not their enemies. But Rey said they were enemies, since it was ZAFT's orders to take them down, even though the Archangel's motives are unknown, since they were soldiers from ZAFT, and they must obey all orders from Chairman Durandal.

Quotes[]
| “ | "What use are weapons, if there is no war? Unless they tear down old buildings, they cannot build new ones. Unless they scorch our fields, they cannot make the starving people buy their food. A world at peace is not profitable, it cannot be manipulated. Therefore they will not cease their attempts at forcing us to fight." | ” |
