The Turning Point is Phase-29 (Phase-27 in the HD Remaster) of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It first aired in Japan on April 26, 2003 and in the United States on November 6, 2004.

Summary[]

The Archangel, without Cagalli and Ledonir on board, leaves Orb territory for Alaska. The Zala Team, who is patiently waiting, engages them in a battle. Kira grounds the Duel, Buster, and Blitz with the help of Mu and Tolle, who is now the second Skygrasper pilot. As Kira and Athrun fight, Nicol intervenes, but he steps into Kira's fatal attack.

Plot[]

Notes & Trivia[]

HD Remaster Changes[]

  • Nicol's death was changed into an accident - instead of Kira swinging the Schwert Gewhir at the Blitz Gundam ran into the blade while charging at the Strike.
  • When the battle of Strike against the four stolen machines, the background music Strike Shutsugeki plays just like the Special Edition. For the original, Meteor is played instead.

Newly Animated Scenes[]

Italicized lines are from the BD/DVD Release.

  • The Aile Strike slicing off Blitz Gundam's right arm before kicking it off its Guul.
  • The Aegis witnessing the destruction of the Blitz.

Quotes[]

Natarle: "Are the rumors true that former Representative Athha knew nothing about this ship and the mobile suits back then?"
Murrue: "Lieutenant Badgiruel!"
Ledonir: "It is true that he knew nothing about it. A number of cabinet ministers acted independently, yielding to the pressure from the Atlantic Federation. Close ties with Morgenroete were also disclosed."

Natarle Badgiruel and Murrue Ramius asking Ledonir Kisaka if Uzumi Nara Athha was involved with the Atlantic Federation, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

"I do understand the opinions held by some that Orb should make clear which side we're with. However, if we get involved in the war, it is the civilians who will suffer the most. As was the case with Heliopolis. That's the last thing Lord Uzumi wants, and that's why he continues stating his position on this, knowing the difficulties of maintaining it. Although you might view him as unrealistic."

Ledonir Kisaka explaining Uzumi Nara Athha's stance on the war, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

"Don't mention it. You helped us as well. You see, I no longer have any family there, but Tassil is where I was born. There's no meaning in temporary victories. But when I saw what was happening, I just had to do something about it. And I was also able to bring our rowdy runaway girl home. I thank you very much."

Ledonir Kisaka to Murrue Ramius and the bridge crew of the Archangel, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

Athrun: "Why did you volunteer to fight for the military, Nicol? Ah, I'm sorry. That's none of my business."
Nicol: "It's okay. I felt that I, too, should be fighting. I felt that when I saw the news about Junius Seven. What about you, Athrun?"
Athrun: "For the same reason, Nicol."

Athrun Zala and Nicol Amalfi about why they chose to join the military, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

Uzumi: "Cagalli. Are you planning to join them on that ship?"
Cagalli: "Yes."
Uzumi: "So you're planning to be an Earth Forces soldier and fight against the PLANTs. Do you wish to fight that badly?"
Cagalli: "No, I don't! It's not as if I want to fight!"
Uzumi: "Then why?"
Cagalli: "I want to help them! And I want to put an end to this damn war quickly!"
Uzumi: "Will the war end if you fight?"
Cagalli: "No, but..."

Uzumi Nara Athha and Cagalli Yula Athha about her fighting in the war, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

Uzumi: "If you should kill someone's husband, his wife would hate you. If you should kill someone's son, his mother would hate you. And if someone should kill you, I would hate that person. Can't you figure out this vicious cycle?"
Cagalli: "I understand that! But I can't remain in this country, sitting back like everything's fine."
Uzumi: "What can you accomplish with such a cheap and smug sense of heroism? Pointing a gun isn't the only way to fight. Learn the causes of war, Cagalli."
Cagalli: "Father."
Uzumi: "Attacking each other isn't going to end anything."

Uzumi Nara Athha and Cagalli Yula Athha about the cycle of hate, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, The Turning Point

Kira: "Take care of yourself, Cagalli. And thanks for everything."
Cagalli: "Kira! Don't get yourself killed!"
Kira: "Don't worry. I'll be all right."
