Cast Comments

Tamura Yukari / playing the role of Aura
When I saw Aura's character list for the first time, my impression was "A child...? But there is a scene where she is sitting in the middle.
But there is a scene where she is sitting in the middle, so I wondered what was going on....
What kind of role should I play? I was worried about what kind of role I should play.
The character I created while receiving instructions from Director Fukuda......you will have to see for yourselves!
I am very happy to participate in "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM!
Please look forward to it!

Hiro Shimono / Playing the role of Orfe
I was very happy to be asked to participate in "Gundam SEED," but I was nervous going into the recording because it is a work that has been loved by many people for a long time, and I didn't want to destroy the worldview of the series!
Please come to the theater and see what my character Orfe will be doing!

Yuichi Nakamura as Shura
Twenty years have passed since the "Gundam SEED" TV series.
I was a viewer at the time, but I never thought I would be able to appear in a new theater production!
I can't tell you yet what kind of character I will play, but I hope you will look forward to it.
I will do my best to catch up with what the staff and seniors have accumulated over the past 20 years.

Sumire Uesaka / Playing the role of Ingrid
My name is Uesaka Sumire, and I will be playing the role of Ingrid Trador in "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM!
I was really surprised when I was asked to play the role...!
When I rewatched the "SEED series" again, I felt that it is a story in which each character's love and what they want to protect are strongly portrayed, sometimes to the point of cruelty.
I thought a lot about how Ingrid would live her life and what she wanted in this world.
I hope that many people will witness the new story of "SEED!

＜PROLOGUE＞
C.E. (Cosmic Era).
The C.E. (Cosmic Ill.) is an era in which the genes are adjusted and there are two types of humans: those born with superior physical abilities and brains (the "Coordinators") and those born as they are (the "Naturals").
Ideologies of the "Coordinators" and "Naturals" clashed over their own existence, leading to a war using military force.
In the midst of the war, the "Destiny Plan," a system to create a world without competition by forcing each individual to take on a role, was proposed, but in order to protect the free future and hope of mankind, the "Destiny Plan" was rejected in the midst of the war.
The war came to an end at the cost of many lives, but the conflict and hatred between the two races of mankind continues to smolder in various parts of the world.
