Quotes
“ | "What is it that one should be fighting against? War is very difficult." | ” |
—Lacus Clyne, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Natarle: "What do you plan to do about the Strike?" Murrue: "Plan to do? What do you mean?" Natarle: "Everybody aboard this ship knows, that we were only able to make it this far because of the machine's abilities, and because he was piloting it. Are you letting him go as well? Captain!" Murrue: "I see what you're trying to say, Natarle. However, Kira is not a member of the military." Natarle: "But his abilities are valuable! We can't afford to lose them." Murrue: "Regardless of what he brings to the military, we cannot pressure him to join." |
” |
—Natarle Badgiruel and Murrue Ramius discussing the Strike Gundam and Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Murrue: "I've hardly had any free time... so I couldn't find the time to have a good talk with you. Well, I just wanted to thank you properly. I put you through a great deal of hardship. I'm truly grateful for what you've done. I forced a number of thing upon you... and you gave us your all. I'm truly grateful." Kira: "Aw, it's all right, Captain." Murrue: "The others may not actually put it into words... but each one of us is grateful. Given the situation, I imagine things will continue to be hectic for you, even on Earth... but I wish you the best of luck." |
” |
—Murrue Ramius expressing her thanks to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Hoffman: "Are we to turn a blind eye to the matter of the young Coordinator?" Murrue: "Kira Yamato wanted to protect his friends. He got in the Strike for us, for that reason only. We likely would not have made it this far if not for the abilities of that youngster. And even though events took place outside of his control, he suffered greatly from having to fight against his own people. He's a sincere, kind boy. I believe we should respond to him with trust." |
” |
—Hoffman and Murrue Ramius discussing Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Natarle: "If I may say a word, I agree with Captain Hoffman. His abilities are enough to open anyone's eyes. And since he knows so much about G-weapons secrets... I'd think twice before allowing him to disembark." Duane: "ZAFT now has four of those machines. Hardly a secret at this point." Natarle: "H-However... his strengths are valuable! I believe it would be best to have him join the military." Duane: "But according to what Lieutenant Ramius has told me, he has no intention of joining the military." Natarle: "His parents are Naturals, currently living on Earth, since the Heliopolis collapse. If the military took them under its protection..." Duane: "What you're saying is nonsense! What use will such a soldier be to us?" |
” |
—Natarle Badgiruel and Duane Halberton discussing whether or not to draft Kira Yamato into the OMNI Enforcer, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Duane: "However, now that Heliopolis has been destroyed, it's all the more important to get the Archangel and the G-weapon along with all of its data, down to Alaska." Murrue: "H-However, We..." Duane: "We must get the G-weapons' development on track. ZAFT will no doubt continue to send new machines to the battlefield. However... to those fools who keep spending on useless thing for concessions... the number of soldiers lost on the battlefield is only a figure on paper!" Murrue: "Very well. I'll be sure to deliver that spirit of yours to Alaska!" Mu: "As a surviving armor pilot, it's an order I cannot refuse." Duane: "Thank you." |
” |
—Duane Halberton discussing his plans for the G Project and his issues with the the Earth Alliance Bureaucracy with Murrue Ramius and Mu La Flaga, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Duane: "I understand your parents are Naturals!" Kira: "Huh? Uh, yes." Duane: "I can't help wondering what they wanted to achieve by making you a Coordinator!" |
” |
—Duane Halberton to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
“ | Duane: "I know what you're concerned about. Your abilities are certainly attractive to the military. However, it's not as if we'd be sure to win if we had you. A war's not that simple. Don't flatter yourself!" Kira: "B-But... I understood that if I have the ability to make a difference, then I should put that ability to use!" Duane: "Only if you have the will! Nobody who lacks the will can see anything through to the end! |

—Duane Halberton to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Flay's Decision |
