The follow-up to the popular anime Gundam Seed is titled Gundam Seed Destiny.
A quick flashback to the year 71 CE, when the main island of Orb was devastated, ushers in the beginning of Destiny's journey. Shinn Asuka, who was 14 at the time, was attempting to evacuate with his parents and younger sister by boarding a spaceship. However, a regrettable coincidence caused Shinn to become separated from his family shortly before they arrived at the dock. A gunshot accidentally entered the area where his family was standing at that same moment. When he learned that his entire family had perished, he was terrified.
Shinn Asuka enrolled in ZAFT's military academy following that incident about two years ago. He is currently assigned to the brand-new battleship Minerva. His journey takes him to one of the PLANTs, where he sees an elite Earth Alliance squad attempting to rob ZAFT of three brand-new, top-secret Gundams. He steps in with force and attempts to stop the special unit. But they succeed in making their getaway while using the new Gundam units.
But how did the three pilots enter the PLANTs to take the Gundams in the first place? What is it that the Earth Alliance hopes to accomplish with this? Is a new conflict on the horizon that will result in the loss of so many lives?
