Quotes[]

"When a combatant leaves a scar that could be surgically removed, I believe he leaves it as a symbol of a promise he's made to himself. Looking away after hearing those words implies that this symbol reminds you of a humiliating experience, perhaps?"

Andrew Waltfeld to Yzak Joule, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

"But it's best not to know too much about the enemy. Try to forget. Knowing about a man you're about to fight with for your life, just makes the batter more difficult.

Mu La Flaga to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

Kira: "What is a berserker? Do you know?"
Mu: "A berserker? I believe it's from a myth about crazed warriors."
Kira: "Crazed... warriors?"
Mu: ""Yes. They were normally gentle and well behaved, but in battle, they got excited, and became stronger, as if becoming different people.

Kira Yamato asking Mu La Flaga about berserkers, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

Yzak: "Commander Waltfeld! Why is our position atop the Lesseps?"
Andrew: "Oh, my. Does the Le Creuset Team let soldiers object to orders given by their superiors?"
Yzak: "No, however... we have more experience battling against them, so..."
Aisha: "Losing experience, right?"
Yzak: "What?"
Andrew: "Aisha."
Aisha: "Sorry."

Yzak Joule, Andrew Waltfeld and Aisha, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

"I'm your opponent, strange pilot!"

Andrew Waltfeld to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

Aisha: "I see. He is good."
Andrew: "Right? He's fighting with a cool head today, but he was even more unbelievable the other day."
Aisha: "Why do you seem so happy? This is tough on you, isn't it, Andy? I can tell you're really fond of people like him."
Andrew: "You think he'll surrender?"
Aisha: "No."

Aisha and Andrew Waltfeld about Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

"The dissipation effect on these beams is too high! This is what it's like in the atmosphere?"

Dearka Elsman, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

"Hey, come on! This isn't what I expected from the Desert Tiger!"

Dearka Elsman, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

Andrew: "You too, Aisha. Get outta here."
Aisha: "I'd rather die than do that."
Andrew: "You're just as foolish as I am."
Aisha: "Say whatever you wish."
Andrew: "Then stay with me!"

Andrew Waltfeld and Aisha, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

Kira: "Mr. Waltfeld!"
Andrew: "I'm not done, youngster!"
Kira: "Let's stop this, please! The outcome is determined! Please surrender!"
Andrew: "I thought I told you! There are no clear rules to end a war!"
Kira: "Mr. Waltfeld!"
Andrew: "There's no choice but to fight! As long as we're enemies! Until one of us is destroyed!"

Kira Yamato and Andrew Waltfeld, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm

"I... I... I never wanted to kill him!"

Kira Yamato after his battle with Andrew Waltfeld, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The End of the Sandstorm
