Kira is Phase-28 (Phase-26 in the HD Remaster) of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It first aired in Japan on April 19, 2003, and in the United States on October 30, 2004.

Summary

Kira and his friends are given the chance to meet with their parents who have taken refuge in Orb. Kira refuses to go, but his parents meet with Uzumi Nara Athha who hints there is a deeper connection between Kira and Cagalli. Kira instead completes the operating system for the Orb Union's MBF-M1 Astrays. When Kira's mechanical bird flies off, Kira finds himself standing face to face with Athrun. They part ways pretending not to know each other, but not without saying kind words about each other.

Quotes

“	Kira: "But what about you? It's unusual for a princess to hang out in a place like this." Cagalli: "Well, excuse me! And don't call me a princess, or even think of me as one! I hate being called that."	”
—Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	"Even so, there were a lot of times when I did not succeed in saving others."	”
—Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	Uzumi: "Mr. and Mrs. Yamato, I presume." Caridad: "Lord Uzumi. You promised that we would never have to see you again." Uzumi: "Call it a twist of fate. The children met. So it couldn't be helped."	”
—Uzumi Nara Athha and Caridad Yamato about Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	Flay: "Why didn't you go? Your family's here, too. Right, Kira? Why won't you go see them?" Kira: "This is taking longer than I expected. But I've got to get this done before the Archangel's departure." Flay: "That's a lie! You're lying! What is it? You pity me? You? Toward me?" Kira: "Flay." Flay: "Because no one's come to see me? so you're feeling sorry for me? Is that it?" Kira: "Flay. That's..." Flay: "Get real! Stop it! Why should I have you pitying me? Kira: "Flay." Flay: "You're the one who's suffered the most, right? You're the one who people should feel sorry for, right? Kira has it tough. Kira's all alone. You continue fighting, and continue suffering! You're unable to protect people, and you end up suffering more! So then you start crying. And so... so... So how... so how... how can you feel sorry for me?" Kira: "Flay. Stop it. Let's put an end to this. It was a mistake." Flay: "What do you mean? What's that supposed to mean?"	”
—Flay Allster and Kira Yamato breaking up, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	Caridad: "No matter what should happen, there is no way that we will disclose the truth to that child." Uzumi: "Not even about his sibling, I take it." Haruma: "I do feel a bit sorry for him. But it's all in Kira's best interest." Caridad: "If you'll still honor the promise you first made to us, I presume this will be the last time we'll ever see you. Lord Uzumi." Uzumi: "I understand. However, not knowing anything can be very scary. The fact is, the children have met with no prior knowledge of each other." Haruma: "Please do not try to sum this up as fate. If we allow ourselves to be shaken by this, the children will surely sense something." Uzumi: "You may be right. By the way, why hasn't he come to see you today?" Caridad: "I can only imagine that right now, he does not wish to see us."	”
—Caridad Yamato, Uzumi Nara Athha and Haruma Yamato discussing Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	Kira: "I can't stand thinking that if I met them now, I might ask them." Mu: "Ask them about what?" Kira: "Why the hell did they make me a Coordinator?"	”
—Kira Yamato to Mu La Flaga about why he didn't want to see his parents, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)

“	Athrun: "Is it yours?" Kira: "Thank... you. A friend gave it to me! It's a very precious thing... that a very precious friend gave me." Athrun: "I see."	”
—Athrun Zala returning Birdy to Kira Yamato while both pretend not to know each other, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Kira (episode)
