Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/Recap/Ep 06 The Vanishing Gundam: Difference between revisions

At Artemis, Eurasian soldiers board the ''Archangel'' and detain its crew and refugee passengers at gunpoint. An Artemis officer informs Natarle and Murrue that he's locking down the ship's controls as part of standard security measures, as the ship does not appear in their records. Most of the crew is herded into the cafeteria, while Murrue, Natarle, and Mu are brought to Artemis' commander's office. The bridge crew says that it's not a problem of friction between the Atlantic Federation and Eurasia, but rather that the ''Archangel'' doesn't have proper ID codes; the head mechanic, however, believes that that's just an excuse. Artemis' commander speaks with Mu, remarking on his record during a lunar campaign, where although the Earth Alliance was eventually defeated, Mu received the nickname "the [[Red Baron|Hawk of Endymion]]" for managing to destroy five GINNs in his Mobius Zero. Murrue requests that the ''Archangel'' be resupplied so that they can proceed to the Atlantic Federation's lunar HQ as soon as possible. The commander informs them that even if they were resupplied, they would not be able to leave, as the ''Gamow'' is waiting outside the Umbrella of Artemis, Artemis' protective lightwave barrier. Mu suggests that they leave quickly before Artemis is damaged, but the commander tells him that ZAFT is powerless to breech the umbrella, and the ''Gamow'' will leave eventually.

 

In the ''Archangel'', Artemis' commander says that doesn't believe Kira's confession, insisting that Kira is too young to be the pilot, and attempts to punch Kira for lying to him. Kira dodges the blow and counters, throwing the commander to the ground. Other soldiers present rush to his aid; the chief mechanic tells Kira not to resist, and Sai tries to speak to them, but a soldier backhands him out of the way before focusing on Kira. Flay, supporting Sai, tells them that Kira really is the pilot, because he's a Coordinator. Kira is taken away by the Eurasian soldiers, while Tolle harasses Flay for telling them.

 

 

The Blitz enters Artemis' harbor, destroying Eurasian warships as he searches for the ''Archangel'' and the Strike. The Blitz and the Strike begin to fight, Kira insisting that he's not a traitor to the Coordinators, as the Duel and the Buster launch to aid in the attack. Murrue, Mu, and Natarle make it back to the ''Archangel'' and the ship launches. Artemis' commander struggles to repel the ZAFT Gundams, but a damaged Eurasian [[Space Fighter|Mobius]] crashes into the control room, killing him and his senior staff. The ''Archangel'' has Kira withdraw as they escape; he returns to the ship, but blows off the congratulations offered by Mu and the chief mechanic after he lands. He returns to lay alone in his dark bunk, [[Tender Tears|beginning to cry]] as he's joined by his [[Cute Machines|pet robotic bird]], insisting that he's not a traitor.

* [[Invisibility Cloak]]: The Blitz's mirage colloid technology.

* [[Red Baron]]: Mu's [[Badass Nickname]] is first mentioned in this episode.
