| “ | "You have the ability to make a difference, right? Then put those abilities to use." | ” |
—Mu La Flaga to Kira Yamato, about piloting the Strike Gundam again, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Silent Run | ||
| “ | "He's one of us. A treasured friend." | ” |
—Miriallia Haw about Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Silent Run | ||
| “ | Athrun: "That final machine. The person piloting it is Kira Yamato... a Coordinator friend from the military preparatory school I attended on the Moon." Rau: "Well...!" Athrun: "I never dreamed that we'd meet again in such a situation... so I needed to be sure." Rau: "I see. War is full of irony. I don't blame you for being stunned. I imagine you were quite close to this friend." Athrun: "Yes." Rau: "Very well. If that's the case, I shall take you off the upcoming sortie. You wouldn't be able to point a gun at such a friend. And I don't want to force you to, either." Athrun: "No, Commander! That's...!" Rau: "Even if he was once your friend... we must shoot him if he's now an enemy. I'm sure you can understand that." Athrun: "Kira is... He's being used by the Naturals! He's brilliant, but also absent-minded and good-natured... so he fails to see that he's being taken advantaged of. That's why I wanna persuade him! He's also a Coordinator! I know he'll understand what we have to say!" Rau: "I understand how you feel. But... what if he won't be persuaded?" Athrun: "If that should happen... I'll shoot him myself." |
