Quotes[]

“ "This place is a forbidden, sacred area. The remains of a dream seen by fools that believed themselves to be gods." ”

—Rau Le Creuset about the G.A.R.M. R&D Facility, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "Did you know? That your parents were not your real parents? Didn't think so. If you knew, you wouldn't have turned out the way you did. You wouldn't Have turned out so normal, with no sign of a tainted past." ”

—Rau Le Creuset to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "It never occurred to me when Athrun first brought up your name... that you were 'the child'. I had assumed that the twins had died. Especially you. Along with your real father, Doctor Hibiki... you were the biggest target of Blue Cosmos at the time, after all. But you survived, grew up, threw yourself into the war, and are still alive. Why do you think that is? You've even led me to want to believe... in their crazy dream." ”

—Rau Le Creuset to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "You are the dream of humanity. The Ultimate Coordinator. It was Doctor Hibiki who created the artificial womb. And you were the only successful birth that resulted. His son. At the cost of his other children." ”

—Rau Le Creuset to Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "Today my secret shall be revealed. I was not born naturally, like a normal human being. I was genetically modified early in the embryonic stage." ”

—Rau Le Creuset, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "George Glenn was humanity's first Coordinator. Do you have any idea how the chaos he caused spread darkness throughout the world? Do you know what people started doing after that?" ”

—Rau Le Creuset about George Glenn, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "I cannot give any total guarantees. The mother's body is natural, so of course that will influence how the embryo grows." ”

—G.A.R.M. R&D Doctor, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "It's a dream people bought at a great price, so of course they wanted it to come true. Nobody ever wants their dream to be destroyed. Is that what drove them onward? Because people labeled this their dream, and demanded it come true?" ”

—Rau Le Creuset, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "The greatest uncertainty in this formula is the mother's body. If we eliminated that from the equation..." ”

—Ulen Hibiki contemplating the Coordinator process, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ Via: "Stop it! That's not just some thing! It's a life!"
Ulen: "I know that! That's exactly why I must complete this!"
Via: "A life is born into this world! It is not intended to be created!" 		”

—Via Hibiki and Ulen Hibiki arguing over Ulen's experiments, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ Via: "Liar! Give him back! Give my other child back to me!"
Ulen: "He's my son! I'll use the ultimate technology to make him the Ultimate Coordinator!"
Via: "For whose sake? For your sake?" 		”

—Via Hibiki and Ulen Hibiki about using their unborn son in Ulen's experiment, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ Via: "Ultimate Coordinator? Is that supposed to bring this child happiness?"
Ulen: "Humanity has progressed to this day always longing to make things better! Because with improvement, comes happiness!" 		”

—Via Hibiki and Ulen Hibiki about using their unborn son in Ulen's experiment, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "At first people were curious to learn about something... then they became eager to obtain it. And then, forgetting why they wanted it, they toyed with life, proclaiming it precious as they destroyed it." ”

—Rau Le Creuset, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "They grow envious, hate each other, and eventually kill each other!" ”

—Rau Le Creuset, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ Rau: "Then we should all kill until we're satisfied! If that's what we're hoping for!"
Mu: "What gives you the right to make that determination?
Rau: "I have that right! And I'm the only one in the universe who has that right! I have the right to pass judgment on all of humanity!" 		”

—Rau Le Creuset and Mu La Flaga, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ Ulen: "Cloning is illegal!"
Al: "Laws will change. They're enforced by humans, after all."
Ulen: "But still...!"
Al: "You've attained this technology with great effort. You've got to put it to use. You want funding for your research, don't you?" 		”

—Ulen Hibiki and Al Da Flaga, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "Don't you remember, Mu? We met once... long, long ago before we ever met on the battlefield." ”

—Rau Le Creuset to Mu La Flaga, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "Is that really me? Never mind. In any case, he will succeed me. Why should I hand everything down to that woman's child?" ”

—Al Da Flaga upon seeing his infant clone for the first time , Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door

“ "Your father, Al Da Flaga was an arrogant fool who thought he could buy immortality. And I am a defective clone of that man." ”

—Rau Le Creuset to Mu La Flaga about Al Da Flaga, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Opening Door
