Comments

Soichiro Hoshi

I was so excited to finally be able to see and experience the long-awaited "SEED FREEDOM" this year, and I and all the fans were so moved and excited that I was occupied with FREEDOM for about half of the year 2024.
It was sad to see the long run of the film come to an end, but it was also refreshing, and such a sense of fulfillment could not be experienced very often....
But this fall! Soon! We can see FREEDOM again at the theater! And as a special edition!
In 2024, are you sure you can still enjoy it this much?
Our "SEED FREEDOM" is not over yet!

Rie Tanaka

I believe that it is thanks to your support and thoughts that we have decided to screen the special edition of "SEED FREEDOM". Congratulations! And, truly, thank you!
The movie that will be screened this time has been updated with about 500 cuts or more and will have an epilogue cut. And they will be distributing new admission gifts! The first round of admission gifts for special edition screenings will be distributed starting September 20.
We are so happy to have the opportunity to bring everyone back to the big screen to see SEED FREEDOM again. We don't love it because we need it, we need it because we love it! We hope you enjoy it to the fullest!

Director Mitsuo Fukuda

With your support and encouragement, we have decided to screen a special edition of "Gundam SEED FREEDOM".
In the film that was released on January 26, we were not able to make all the cuts to the extent that we were satisfied with due to time constraints, but this time we have updated those cuts and made changes to various parts of the film, including parts that were uncomfortable after the screening. I think we can say that this is the complete version of "SEED FREEDOM".
Also, at the end of the ending, we wrote a short episode as an epilogue cut. Please enjoy it as well.

＜PROLOGUE>
C.E. (Cosmic Era).
In this era, there are two types of people: those who are born with superior physical abilities and brains (the "Coordinators") and those who are 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.
