The Shadows of War (戦火の蔭 Senka no Kage?) is the Phase-23 of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It first aired in Japan on March 26, 2005, and August 31, 2007.

Summary[]

Cagalli intervenes and orders the Orb forces to stand down. But Yuna orders the Orb forces to attack to begin a three-way battle. Kira's interference agitates the other pilots as he disables mobile suits on both sides, making him the prime target of Heine and Stella. As Stella charges to attack the Freedom, she kills Heine in the process.

Plot[]

The Freedom Gundam suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Then Aile Strike Rouge launches from the Archangel piloted by Cagalli. She identifies herself as the representative of Orb and demands the Orb forces to cease all hostilities and retreat. While everyone on the battlefield is confused, Yuna loses control of himself under the pressure from Neo, and forcibly resumed battle.

He cannot afford to miss the chance to destroy the damaged Minerva. 3 Gundams of the Phantom Pain attack the Minerva, and Heine, Lunamaria, and Rey take off to intercept.

Kira delivers Cagalli to the Archangel, then starts to damage only the equipment of both ZAFT’s and the Alliance’s mobile suits one after another. Athrun attempts to call Kira, who is making everyone on the battlefield confused, but cannot break through the interference.

Stella’s Gaia Gundam is damaged and the right arm of Heine’s GOUF Ignited is cut off by Freedom Gundam. Stella, in rage, attacks Kira from behind when Heine gets in the way at the last second and she slashes the GOUF Ignited instead. Heine’s GOUF Ignited explodes…

Immediately after, the retreat signal is fired and the Phantom Pain withdraws, and Freedom Gundam and Archangel leave the battlefield as well. Athrun and Shinn lost Heine. They gnash their teeth out of grief as they stare at the sight of the remains.

Quotes[]

Cagalli: "Orb has sent forces to Suez? You're kidding! What's Unato thinking? What's gotten into the ministers?!"
Andrew: "But it can't be helped, can it? Joining the Alliance meant precisely this."
Kira: "And you acknowledged it, right Cagalli?"
Lacus: "Kira."
Kira: "You didn't think it would come to this?"
Cagalli: "I... I..."
Murrue: Don't be so hard on her. We forced Cagalli to come with us. If she were still in Orb, this sort of thing might never have happened."
Kira: "No. I think it would've been the same. With Cagalli's state of mind back then, I don't think she could've stopped this."
Lacus: "But she's not the same now, is she? I'm sure that right now, Miss Cagalli can see clearly the things that were not visible to her back then."
Cagalli: "Lacus."

—The Archangel crew discussing the lead up to the Battle of Dardanelles, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, The Shadows of War

"Call it foolish sentiment... but if it's at all possible, I want to stop this battle! Orb must not participate in this fight. No, not just Orb! The reality is, no nation should! Nobody! We can't let this world go on fighting war after war! So please, Kira! And even if it's a little at a time, we have to make our way off this misguided path! Orb has to do the same!"

"I'm not like the ZAKUs! Remember that!"

"I did say that I'm not as skilled as Kira, but I'm dropping you!"
