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!" |
