Synopsis

In Cosmic Era 0071, a clash between two mobile suits devastates a neutral nation and leaves Shinn Asuka bereaved by the loss of his family. Convinced that Earth-aligned Natural forces are to blame, Shinn dedicates himself to retribution and rises through ZAFT’s ranks until he pilots the prototype Impulse mobile suit. Meanwhile, Athrun Zala, a seasoned combatant serving diplomat Cagalli Yula Athha, becomes involved as tensions flare anew between Naturals and Coordinators—people engineered before birth and resented for their enhanced traits. As conflict escalates, Athrun assumes a mentor role to the embittered Shinn, attempting to temper his vengeful drive and steer him toward restraint before anger overtakes him.
