More SE IV Stuff

Jan 07, 2007 11:01

So as we all most likely know, the last SE comes out very soon. A few weeks ago someone posted with images from the SE from the January issue of Newtype. As a Christmas present to myself I bought that issue off of JPQueen, and wanted to share some more stuff from it.

For one, the info floating around has said SE IV airs on the 8th, but this seems to say the 7th. I have no idea which is the right date.

I've seen a lot of stuff in different places, so I don't remember what's been posted here. I apologize if any of this is a duplicate.

This is the issue I was talking about.

It has this page, which we've seen. In the realm of new stuff, this is what the text on that and the next page (the one with Strike-Freedom) says. (It may just be because I worked all day and my brain is fried, but I had a lot of trouble with this. Some lines just did not make sense, so I hope this makes at least some sense.)

The title is "Kirameki no Shiro" which means "A Sparkling White". (With emphasis in the "Kira" part of "Kirameki".)

Kira Yamato appears to have decided his place, as a ZAFT White.

These are the clothes his former fated enemy Raww Le Kruze wore. And also the costume of Talia, who shut away her own future and chose an impressive path.

Did he know this? Or, when he learns of this, what will he feel?

The battle costume of the many people he met on the battlefield as "enemies" he now dares to wrap himself in.

And is he living in the sight of those he pointed a gun at until 'yesterday'?

In these days, little by little he begins to understand the opponents he met on the battlefield, and may accept what's inside himself.

A new position.

A new point of view.

New feelings.

He should now possess these.

Kira Yamato. A seed that's done nothing but bloom.

The future still has it's way of doing things. Will he continue to grow?

Original text, if anyone's curious:

煌(きら)めきの白

キラ ヤマトはおのれのありかを
ひとつの場所に定めたようだ
ザフトの白―
それはかって、彼の宿命的は敵
ラウ ル クルーゼが
身を包んでいた復
また、みずからの未来をみずから閉ざすという
あまりにも印象的な道を選んだ
タリアの衣装でもある
彼はそのことを知っているだろうか
または、これから知るときに
どんな思いが去来するのだろうか
多くの戦場で「敵」として
出会ってきた人々の戦いの装束を
彼は今、あえてその身にまとう
そして昨日まで銃を向け会ってきた人々の
視線の中で生きるのだろう
その日々の中で、彼は少しずつ
自分が戦場で出会った相手のことを
肌で理解し、その身の内側に
受け入れてゆくのかもしれない
新たな立場
新たな視点
新たな感情
彼はこれから
それらを獲得してゆくはずだ
キラ ヤマト。発芽したばかりの種
未来はまだほとんど手つかずにある
彼はまた、これから成長してゆくのだろう

On the next page was this pic of ZAFT!Kira as well as images from the show (mostly stuff that's been in the series, like Kira stripping of injured!Athrun's flightsuit). The large text says "Kira and my whereabouts." ("My" here is written as "boku", but generally only Kira uses that. Athrun usually use 'ore', though the SE's are kinda from his POV, so it could be him. Though females can use 'boku', I don't think any of the females in SEED do. It's definitely not Lacus. And all the other guys in the main cast use 'ore' too.)" "Your and My whereabouts."

The small text reads "The conclusion of the Special Edition story shows a tentative ending (of the fighting). For Kira and the others the true battle of the 'world reconstruction' is waiting."

Among those were these images, that I think have been posted here before.

The first block of text reads "Lacus and the proper ZAFT officers greet Kira one by one. Shiho and Arthur as well. Dearka appears to have been quietly promoted to a Black." I have to wonder if this means Yzak will have to greet Kira. XD

And the second says "Standing ahead of the others, Kira waited for the door to open. Seeing Lacus, he unconsciously stepped forward. Lacus ran forward more passionately..." (And then below that is the hug pic.)

Text for the first:

ラクスと生え抜きのザフト将校たちがキラ一行を出迎える。シホ、アーサーの姿も。ディアッカは地味に黒復に昇進したようす。

Text for the second:

先頭に立って、ドアーが開くのを待っていたキラ。ラクスの姿を見とめて、思わず進み出る。ラクスはもっと情熱的に走り出して。。。

The page after that had lots of dialogue by the SEED Club characters as well as an image of Chibi-Lacus fantasizing about...Sumo-wrestler!Kira, swimmer!Shinn and...Athrun in a speedo getting shot in the ass by Rey-bot's eye-lasers?!. (I can't tell what the text on that says.)

Later in the issue there was a page with little "snapshots" of previous SEED Club strips. I really what to see the strip this comes from. XD

And I got this issue new, so it came with a calendar that had images of various animes, including this one of Shouta!Asukira ♥♥♥♥♥.

images, discussion, information, scans
