Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/Trivia

• Ascended Fanon: Bandai has acknowleged fan attempts to mount all three weapon systems on the Strike Gundam at once, by releasing this.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: Kira's voice actor, Matt Hill, is probably more famous for his athletic accomplishments as a 7 Time Iron Man Triathlon finisher, and a Co-Founder of the 'Run For One Planet' legacy.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • (Toku fans might recognize Orga's voice; around the same time, Ryohei appeared in Kamen Rider Ryuki as Kamen Rider Zolda, who like Orga is amoral, has a green suit, and uses several BFGs including twin shoulder cannons and a bazooka.)
  • Let's not forget that Momotaros is Rau Le Creuset.
  • Mwu La Flaga is no stranger to the world of Gundam.
  • Andrew Waltfield is voiced by Treize Khushrenada and Zechs Merquise in the Japanese and English versions, respectively.
  • Murrue Ramius is Relena Peacecraft.
  • Dearka is Brad Swaile. An all-star Gundam voice acting crew just isn't complete without him.
  • Dearka in the original might remind you of Austria a bit.
  • Yzak fights for Zaft WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI!!!
    • Related to that, Siegel Clyne is Master Asia.
  • In English, Kira is Kero, Ed, and Carlos. Not to mention, Captain N!
  • Speaking of which, Athrun is also Double D. They were friends since grade school!
  • In addition, Fllay is also Alexis. One wonders if Fllay isn't just angry at Kira for annoying her through that series.
  • Many of the English voice actors would go on to continue to work on Inuyasha, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
  • The german voice actor of Murdoch also spoke Batou in Ghost in the Shell (Movies as well as the Anime Series).
• Talking to Herself: Houko Kuwashima when Natarle and Flay meet in the Dominion.
• Shout-Out: Lacus painting a mustache on one of her Haros is a clear one to Turn a Gundam, which Fukuda has noted is one of his favorite series by Tomino.
• What Could Have Been: The original script called for the Strike Rouge to be built by the Earth Alliance instead of Orb, with Azrael placing Flay as its pilot due to her hatred of Coordinators and hoping to use her position as a Fallen Princess to stir up pro Alliance sentiment.
  • Another rejected concept for the ending involved Azrael sending Flay back to the Archangel with a bomb implanted inside her, and her and Sai dying outside the ship in order to spare the others.
  • Also in the same interview, Kira was originally going to be killed off, and Athrun would lose an arm in the final episode.
