Athrun On The Run (アスラン脱走 Asuran Dassō) is the Phase-36 of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It first aired in Japan on June 25, 2005, and in the United States on December 24, 2007.

Summary[]

After being framed as a traitor, Athrun tries to escape in a ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited, taking Meyrin Hawke with him. They are pursued by Shinn (piloting the Destiny), and Rey (piloting the Legend).

Plot[]

In contrast to Shinn’s joy of being given Destiny Gundam, Athrun lashed out at Durandal and asked why he issued the order to destroy the Archangel. It was true that Kira and the others confused the war situation, but in the sense that they also wanted to eliminate war, they were comrades.Meer worried about Athrun who was directing a suspicious look at Durandal. At the Gibraltar base, preparation for the Heaven’s Base attack was almost ready. ZAFT welcomed an Earth Alliance fleet that agreed to Durandal’s idea and the base is in a state of commotion. Meer visited Athrun and tried to persuade him to be obedient to Durandal. She overheard Durandal and Rey’s conversation and knew that Athrun was in danger. People who did not play the assigned roles will die without mercy ― this was Durandal’s true character. Soldiers pursued Athrun, and he tried to take Meer with him but she refused to go with him. Meer choose to live as Lacus.

Thanks to Meyrin’s quick thinking, Athrun shook off the base security and arrived at a mobile suit hangar. However, Rey soon followed and tried to kill both Athrun and Meyrin. In the course of things Meyrin boarded a GOUF Ignited with Athrun, and the two escaped from Gibraltar to find the Archangel. Rey immediately boarded Legend Gundam. And together with Shinn, who was surprised by Athrun’s betrayal, went after them.

Quotes[]

Gilbert: "The Archangel... In particular, your friend, Kira Yamato... Well... I believe he was quite unfortunate, and I do feel sorry for him."
Athrun: "Unfortunate?!"
Gilbert: "He had a gift, and he had power. He was your so-called "warrior". His skills were such that, in a mobile suit duel, no one could beat him. But no one, not even he, realized it. No one was aware... so he couldn't be brought up to develop his skills. He couldn't live that way. He became a prime example of someone who lived his life at the mercy of the times. Who knows how much he could've accomplished... if he had used his great powers properly."

Gilbert: "How much happier can one be than to understand oneself... be useful doing what one is capable of, and live to the fullest of one's potential?"
Shinn: "Ah, yes, sir."
Gilbert: "When this war ends, that's the world I would like to create. If the world becomes a place where everyone can live happily... there will never be another war, ever. Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? But I will see to it that it becomes reality. So for the sake of such a future, I want you guys to give it every effort."
Shinn: "Yes, Sir!"
