Kira Yamato quotes from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Kira Yamato

[after rescuing Cagalli] Wow, this is a pretty amazing dress.

Shut it!

Kira Yamato

If that's the case you've told us that you've gone and joined the ZAFT Forces again what's the next step? You were looking for us weren't you?

Kira, I don't think....

Athrun Zala

Because I wanna stop you from doing something like that again, I understand about the Junius 7 Incident but ever since then the Earth forces are completely to blame for this fiasco. Even so the PLANTs are making every effort to bring this foolishness to an end and the you guys show up and confuse the situation even further!

Kira Yamato

Are you sure about that? Do the PLANTs feel that way? Does Chairman Durandal feel that way? Does he really want to rnd this war and bring peace to the world?

Athrun Zala

I'm sure you've seen how hard the chairman's been working! And you've heard his speeches. The chairman is doing his best.

Kira Yamato

And that other Lacus Clyne? What's the story with that other Lacus up in the PLANTs?

Athrun Zala

But that's just--

Kira Yamato

Maybe you can tell me why a squad of Coordinators showed up and tried to kill the real Lacus?

Athrun Zala

They tried to have her killed? What are you talking about?!

Kira Yamato

In Orb, we were attacked by Coordinators from the special forces. They even had their mobile suits with them. They were after Lacus. And that's why I decided to pilot the Freedom again.

Athrun

But that's...

Kira Yamato

I don't want her or anyone else for that matter to end up getting killed. Who in the world would want to have Lacus killed and for what reason? Until I have a clear answer to those questions, I'm not trusting the PLANTs.

Kira Yamato

But Athrun, I understand what you're saying, but we don't want you fighting against Orb even with things the way they are now... and actually not only Orb, because Athrun, what is lost in pointless battle is gone and never returned.

Athrun Zala

I've had enough of your sanctimonious talk. You think you've got all the answers!? Or have you forgotten all the lives you've personally taken!?

Kira Yamato

Yes, I know; and that's why I'm so sick and tired of all of it.

Athrun Zala

Kira...

Kira Yamato

I don't want to kill any more, and I will not let others kill.

Kira Yamato

I know what you're saying... I know what you're saying, but it doesn't matter. Because at this moment, Cagalli is crying her heart out. She's crying because all of this is exactly what she feared. Why won't you understand that? And now, are you telling me that this battle... these terrible sacrifices... they can't be helped!? That all of this is the fault of Orb and Cagalli? If you are saying that, then you are attacking the very thing that Cagalli is trying to save!

Athrun Zala

[Athrun is shocked by Kira's words] No, Kira... I...

Kira Yamato

Then I have no choice. I must defeat you! [Kira enters SEED mode]

Kira Yamato

I just wish we're not the fools here. That we're not the ones making mistakes.

Murrue Ramius

Oh, Kira. For my part, I don't think there's anything foolish or mistaken about trying to protect the people who are important to you. We can't be sure about what's best for the entire world, but I believe, we love this world as much as we do, because of the people we love, who are in it.

Kira Yamato

Ms. Murrue.

Murrue Ramius

I think everyones the same. That's why they struggle, and that's why they fight. But there are times when their methods, or rather our thoughts are different when it comes to achieving these things. Even though the world is what it is because of those we love.

But he's definitely the Commander, right?

Kira Yamato

Yeah.

That's funny. When did I become a commander? I already made it clear to you that I'm a captain. I'm your prisoner, but that doesn't mean you can demote me.

Kira Yamato

Thanks, Lacus. With this new machine, I can fight properly. The way I know how.

Kira...

Kira Yamato

Wait here. I'll be right back. And then we'll return... back to our friends.

Shinn, join forces with the Minerva, go after the Archangel. I will deal with the Freedom.

Shinn Asuka

No, Rey!

You take care of the Justice, and make sure you get that traitor. To everything that happened before.

Shinn Asuka

Yes, I understand!

That's right, the end is ahead...

Kira Yamato

[seeing flashbacks of his final duel with Rau le Creuset] What's this? How is this possible?

This time for certain...

Kira Yamato

It can't be.

THE END OF EVERYTHING!

Kira Yamato

Who is that? Who are you?

[as Rau le Creuset] I'm sure you recognize me now... I am Rau le Creuset!

They've got a lot of guys, yep. But you need more than just numbers!

Kira Yamato

Rau le Creuset?

Mankind's dreams... mankind's future! You are the splendid result: Kira Yamato! And because of that, your existence must come to an end... you will disappear along with us...! For the sake of the new world that is to come!!

Gilbert Durandal

[flashback] The one thing you cannot run away from is yourself.

[to Kira] And one thing you cannot recover is your past! That's why... we must put an end to all of this, to sweep everything away! So we shall return what we were meant to be! Humanity... the world!!

Kira Yamato

No, you're wrong! We all have just one life to live. This is your life you're living, not his!

Don’t come closer! If you move an inch, I'll put out her eyes! Or I could slit her throat! If she’s no longer able to sing, can you still say that you love her?

Kira

Yeah. Even if those eyes can’t see… Even if she loses her voice… Lacus is Lacus!

Kira

And I love everything about her!

Kira…

You don’t love people because they’re needed. You need them because you love them.

Kira!

Kira

Lacus!

Kira

That was so reckless!

(crying and smiling happily at Kira) I love you too…

Orphee, Ingrid. Let’s stop all of this.

(referring to Kira) You chose that man only because he is inferior to you! Is it that comforting to be surrounded and worshipped by your inferiors?! What an egocentric, cold-hearted women! You don’t care even if these fools keep fighting themselves to extinction?

There is no superior or inferior when it comes to lives. Everyone is precious to someone.

Then why am I not loved?

No. Someone is sure to be looking your way. It doesn’t have to be now. It could be someone in the future. (referring to Ingrid) Or someone so close to you that you didn’t notice.

I don’t care about the future! I want you... right now! We were born of the foolishness of humans. They keep speaking of peace and equality but demand that others change for them! They never want to change themselves!

Kira

That’s not true!

Then why does conflict never go away in any day and age?!

They never forget hatred, and even on the brink of extinction, they’re obsessed with immediate self-interest or prejudice and drag each other down! They are all fools!

Orphee!

(referring to the Accords) They need someone to guide them! To end this history of division and bloodshed! That is the meaning behind why we were born!

Humans are not born out of need! They are born from love!

Kira

I’ll choose my future with my own hands!

Impossible… I-I have a duty...

That’s enough, Orphee…

Ingrid…?

Because I know…

Kira

Lacus?

Yes.

Kira

Well... I think I’ll be staying here for a while.

What is it?

Kira

It's about where we’ll be living.

What? Are you talking about Cagalli’s villa?

Kira

Oh, yeah. I’ve actually already arranged it. From there, I can get to the underground hanger quickly, and...

If Captain Murrue and the others are nearby, it’ll be reassuring, right?

Kira

Oh? Lacus? Are you reading my mind?

Ah. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.

Kira

No, it’s fine. I can’t hide anything from Lacus anyway. And you’re you. No matter what abilities you have.

Thank you, Kira.

Kira

But... can I ask something?

Yes.

Kira

What else can you do? I mean, your abilities...

Oh…I’m not sure what abilities others may have, but as for me...

(activating her powers) I can send my voice or images like this.

Kira

That’s kind of amazing.

Maybe so.

Kira

Lacus?

Oh, it’s okay, Kira. As we discussed with everyone, we’ll keep the power of the Accord a secret. Its also seems that Captain Konoe and Heinlein are working out various strategies.

Kira

That may be so, but...

Besides, Cagalli and Athrun seem to be managing the diplomatic relations well.

Kira

That’s right.

Still, if there are those who don’t understand... (chuckles) I might just have a little ‘talk’ with them.

Kira

Huh?

I’m only joking.

Kira

Really?

Yes. The things that need to be conveyed, I will express properly in words.

Kira

I love you, Lacus.

I feel the same. I love you too, Kira.

Kira

Also, about that…

Yes?

Kira

That about that suit?

Oh, I asked for a normal suit too, but Mr. Heinlein said that he had a new material he was researching.

Kira

No, that’s not it.

(chuckles) Kira, you’re so naughty.

Kira

What?
