Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Final Plus: The Chosen Future

Synopsis

Continues the story of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny

During the Cosmic Era 0071, a fight between two mobile suits in a war destroys a neutral country, killing Shinn Asuka's entire family. Furious at the Earth Naturals, Shinn vows revenge and advances through ZAFT's military, eventually piloting the advanced Impulse mobile suit. At the same time, Athrun Zala—a veteran of the previous war now helping diplomat Cagalli Yula Athha—gets caught up in a new struggle between Naturals and Coordinators, the latter being genetically enhanced humans scorned for their superior abilities. As tensions rise and more conflict threatens, Athrun acts as a mentor to the resentful Shinn, trying to steer the young pilot away from his vengeful path toward a more compassionate mindset before his thirst for retribution overwhelms him.

In this installment

In the 74th year of the Cosmic Era, the ongoing conflict between Earth's Naturals and the space-dwelling Coordinators nears its end. After a devastating defeat, Kira Yamato takes command of the Strike Freedom Gundam and sets out on a crucial mission with the Archangel's crew to destroy the Requiem—a weapon capable of annihilating most life in the universe. Kira is joined by his close friend and rival Athrun Zala, who must fend off the fury of his former subordinate Shinn Asuka, a skilled pilot of the powerful Destiny Gundam. Shinn sees Athrun as a traitor obstructing the path to a peaceful cosmic future. Amid intense mobile suit battles deciding the galaxy's fate, the war between humans struggling to understand one another approaches its conclusion.
