Quotes by Athrun Zala

Gundam Seed

Kira... he fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals. Young as he is, he's also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back. I have to reason with him. Kira is still a fellow Coordinator. I'm positive he'll come around to our way of thinking."
"I know how you feel. However, what if he won't listen to you?"
"If that should happen, I'll shoot him down myself.

Athrun Zala to Rau La Creuset., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

You're one of us Kira."
"! I won't join ZAFT.

Athrun Zala to Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Father..."
"What did you call me?"
"My-my apologies... Chairman Zala.

Athrun Zala to Patrick Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

I can't exactly fight a war with a big smile on my face.

Athrun Zala, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

What? You're just going to fall asleep like that?"
"Why not?"
"I'll steal your gun."
"Do that and I'll have to kill you.

Cagalli Yula Athha to Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

But every time we met, he wouldn't listen! I kept asking him, over and over again. Because it wasn't right for him to be on the Naturals' side. He was one of us, can't you see?

Athrun Zala to Cagalli Yula Athha., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Yeah, I know. Sounds like Kira hadn't changed a bit. He was always like that."
"Did you..."
"He was a sentimental crybaby. And he was smart, but he never thought things through."
"Did you really know Kira?"
"Yes. We were... close. We've been friends, ever since the days when we were kids. We were the best of friends.

Athrun Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

But every time we met, he wouldn't listen! I kept asking him, over and over again. Because it wasn't right for him to be on the Naturals' side. He was one of us, can't you see?

Athrun Zala to Cagalli Yula Athha., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

We separated as friends and the next time I saw him we were enemies.

Athrun Zala to Cagalli Yula Athha about Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

But whenever we talked, he wouldn't listen! He fought against us, even hurting friends of mine! And then he took Nicol's life!"
"And so... that's why you did this to... your friend?"
"He was an enemy. He wasn't on my side anymore! I had no choice but to destroy him!

Athrun Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha about Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Ugh! You idiot! How could you have ever come up with something so stupid? How could you end up doing something so terrible?"
"He took Nicol's life right before my eyes! Nicol was fifteen. He loved the piano. He only fought to protect the Plants and Kira just cut him down.

Cagalli Yula Athha and Athrun Zala about Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

I won't let you get back in that Mobile Suit! Many more will die if I do!"
"Then shoot me. I must fight the naturals, for if I don't, more of my people will be murdered like the innocents on PLANT. Such is my duty, for I am a warrior of ZAFT. So if you intend to stop me, I suggest you open fire.

Cagalli Yula Athha and Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Using a rescued civilian as a hostage? So do you still feel justified in fighting by their side with these cowards? Kira?

Athrun Zala to Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Gundam Seed Destiny

We cannot allow ourselves to exchange blows base on just anger and hatred alone. If we were to exchange blows for those reasons alone, the world will once again become a pointless battlefield! I beg of you... Please don't let that happen!"
"Alex-kun."
"I'm... I'm Athrun Zala! The son of Patrick, who spread foolish hatred across the world and intensified the war to that critical point two years ago! Believing my father's words to be right, I went onto the battlefield, took the lives of the enemy, and my friend and I even tried to kill each other! Even when I realized that all of it was wrong, I couldn't do anything to stop it, and ended up losing everything!"
"Athrun."
"There's no way I can let this happen again!

Athrun Zala and Gilbert Dullindal., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

Well, it just means that someone who knows about us set this up. So, where do you want to go?"
"If you say something like shopping, I won't forgive you!"
"It's nothing like that. I just wanted to visit the graves of Nicol and the rest... Since I can't come to PLANT that often. That's why I thought that I'd like to go.

Dearka Elsman, Yzak Joule and Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

War is not some game to play the hero. Stop making decisions to please yourself. If you have all this power, take responsibility for it!

Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

Everyone who has cried over being powerless feels that way, I think. But, from the moment you take that power into your hand, you'll become the person who will make others cry. Don't you ever forget that.

Athrun Zala: We will be going out into the battlefield again soon. Should you forget that at that time, losing yourself to your own selfish reasoning and sense of justice, you'll become a destroyer, using your power recklessly against others.

Athrun Zala to Shinn Asuka., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

You must stop fighting for your own past, because it will only hold you back!"
"W-what are you talking about?"
"But yet, do you intend to destroy the future too?

Athrun Zala to Shinn Asuka., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

Quotes about Athrun Zala

Gundam Seed

I bet your head is like a hamster running in its wheel right about now.

Cagalli Yula Athha to Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Murderer!

Cagalli Yula Athha to Athrun Zala after he admits to killing Kira Yamato., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Gundam Seed Destiny

I didn't want to put you in the ordinary chain of command... I'm sure you don't want that either. Just think of it as a measure for convenience. After all, its name, FAITH, suggests the pledging of loyalty. After all, you just have to pledge loyalty to your own beliefs and truths."
"Chairman..."
"You are someone who abides by what you believe regardless of current trends, and someone who is capable of fighting when it is necessary, aren't you?

Gilbert Dullindal and Athrun Zala as the Chairman attempts to convince Athrun to become re-enlist as a ZAFT pilot., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

But the things you are capable of doing, and the things you want to do... You should be the one who is most aware of the answers to those.

Gilbert Dullindal to Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

Damn it! Why am I... Why am I losing to someone like you?

Shinn Asuka to Athrun Zala., Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
