Gundam Seed: Platinum Edition!

Extracts from Gundam Seed Platinum Edition
GundamOfficial have released some fascinating new scenes from the new DVD releases of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Platinum Edition, which features the series the way it was originally meant to be seen. Here are some of the moments you missed that have been restored to this new version, starting today with episode eight!



CAST
Kira, Earth Alliance
Athrun, ZAFT
Lacus, PLANT Pop Star
Cagalli, Orb
Mwu, Earth Alliance
Yzak, ZAFT
Dearka, ZAFT,
Haro, robotic pet of Lacus, created by Athrun
Natarle, Earth Alliance



SCENE: Corridor to Bridge, Archangel
Kira and Mwu are walking up to the Bridge.

Mwu: So, kid, you’re not too bad in that thing. Well done.

Kira: Bah. I’m never going to fly it again. I don’t want to be part of this war, or any other war. I will not fight for the Earth Alliance. That’s why my parents are citizens of Orb, to escape conflict! I only flew this far to protect my friends. I shall never pilot that thing again, not for the Earth Alliance, not for Captain Raimus and not for you!

Natarle (voice): All pilots, please head to your Mobile Suits immediately.

Kira: Come on, let’s get back to the Suits.



SCENE: Somewhere in space
The sky is full of gunshots. While the Mobile Suits of Nicol, Dearka, Yzak and Mwu float around randomly shooting each other, Kira confronts Athrun. Various fanpeople watch.

Kira: Athrun! Athrun Zala!

(Athrun is shown inside cockpit of Aegis Gundam)

Chorus of Fangirls: screams (OMG! It’s Athrun!)

Chorus of Fanboys: louder and more passionate screams (OMG! I loved the shower scene!)

Athrun: Kira Yamato. What are you doing fighting for the Earth Alliance?

Kira: I could ask the same of you! Why do you fight for the bad guys?

Athrun: Bad guys? Who caused the colony drop?

Kira: Err, let me think…

Athrun: How can I help being a ZAFT pilot, ffs! My father’s a council member, you know, the most militant one, and you think he’d not put his son in ZAFT in the best position possible?

Kira: Yes, but I am the hero.

Athrun: You’re working for the Earth Alliance, who secretly allied with Orb. PLANT would never do such a dishonourable thing?


Crowd of Fanthings: Yay! (screams) Go Athrun!

Kira: But…but…I fight to protect my friends!

Athrun: One of those is Flay Allster.

Kira: Well, Flay is… Oh, damn you nefarious traitor. I must go now, but I shall show no mercy next time we meet.

Athrun: Ok then, bye. Nice seeing you. Don’t get involved with anyone else, you hear me?

(Athrun poses to the screen, to the delight of the fanhorde, while Kira flies off)

Random Fangirl: OMG! He looked at me, the Athrun Zala looked at me!

(Cut to Yzak and Dearka)

Yzak: How come we don’t get fanboys?

Dearka: Maybe if we switched sides? We wouldn’t have to compete with Athrun then.

Yzak: How dare you think such thoughts? Betray Rau, after all he’s done for me…

Dearka: What does Rau do for you?

Yzak: Never you mind, keep your mind on the battle.

(Yzak flies away, clearly overcome with passion)



SCENE: Lacus’ Dormitory, Archangel
Kira enters a room, tray of food in hand, where Lacus Clyne sits with Haro.

Kira: Hi.

Lacus: Hi! Oh, I’m awfully grateful, thank you! So, where are we?

Kira: This is the Earth Alliance ship Archangel.

Haro: Lacus, I don’t think we should be here…

Lacus: Oh my, could you drop me off at PLANT, please?

Kira: Errr...I don’t think we’re able to do that here. We are your enemies in the war, you know.

Lacus: Oh my my my, war. How terrible, I had no idea.

Kira: Don’t listen to Flay, she’s, umm, difficult.

Lacus: Oh, never mind that. So, do you people from Earth have tentacles and breathe water? I’ve never seen one of you before…

Kira: You haven’t got out much, have you?

Lacus: I used to stay at home all day, in a house full of Haros…it was wonderful.

Kira: Errr, well I suppose you must like that. I’m actually a Co-ordinator too.

Lacus: I’m Lacus Clyne.

Kira: Am- (pauses) sorry, Kira Yamato of Orb.

Lacus: Nice to meet you. Are you a member of ZAFT?

Haro: Ignore her.

Kira looks at Haro rolling around on the floor.

Kira: Where did you get these Haro things?

Lacus: Athrun made them me as a prese- (cut off by Haro)

Haro: We were made by Athrun Zala to keep Lacus’ mouth shut once in a while.

Kira: I guess you failed, then.

(Lacus lifts Haro in the air and spins around, singing)

Lacus (singing): Oh, if weeee could be togetheeeeeeer foreeeeveeeeeeer, I’d be glad…

(Lacus is still singing)

Haro: You better escape now, boy, before she gets onto to chorus.

Lacus (singing): When one day all the wars have eeeeeeennded, I’ll beeeee waiting heeeeerrreeeee for youuuuuuuu…

(Kira takes one glance at Lacus, and runs out of the room)

Haro: Wait, he’s just down the corridor…now he’s gone.

(Lacus stops singing)

Lacus: Was it something I said?

Haro: No Lacus, you just sit down nice and comfy while I think of a way to get us off of here.

Lacus: But I like it here! It’s safe, and Kira will take us back to father!

(Haro groans)

Haro: Goddamn you Athrun, if I see you again you are going to seriously pay for creating me.



SCENE: End credits have finished rolling, showing a preview of the next episode

VA: Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, instead of Story Episode Nine, Clip Show Recap Episode Sixteen!
What new and exciting will happen next time? Nothing! See you there!

Cagalli (voice): Rush to hide behind Kira or Athrun, Strike Rogue!



Notes
-If this isn’t funny at all, well, it’s not my fault, it’s all the work of keyboard gremlins who have possessed me.
-This didn't take long to dust of, so please inform me of any fatal flaws.
-I’m a fan of Gundam Seed, so if it looks like I’m making fun of it, well, I am, but not maliciously. I swear.
-Athrun Zala is indeed the greatest Gundam Seed character. It is known by all.
-Thanks for stomaching reading this painful work. :)[/b]
 
Great work, I hope the DVD edition will be available to rent soon ;) ...and of course I shall shamelessly copy your parody idea with some non-Gundam parody works of my own at some point in the future.

hmmmm i finnaly saw episode 8 today and i've come to a decision

Lucas is related to starfire from Teen Titans

they sound and act the same lol

I've got little experience of Teen Titans, but Lacus' extreme naivity was grating during Seed's earlier stages, which caused me to write that terrible parody I suppose (alongside other motives that cannot be revealed, I'm afraid).
