The released scene cuts feature a lineup of popular characters including Kira and Shinn from the World Peace Monitoring Organization, COMPASS, showing Luna Maria and Agnes shedding tears, among others. Starting April 5th, as the 11th weekly admission gift, "Original Illustration Card vol.2" by the character designer of this work, Hisashi Hirai, will be distributed. Furthermore, due to the hit's popularity and the consequent end of the distribution of the first batch of weekly admission gifts (distributed from Friday, January 26th), the re-distribution of the short story "Valkyrie of Moonlight" written by Riu Gotou, will be decided and distributed along with the 11th batch of admission gifts. The "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" series, which aired for a total of 50 episodes from October 2002, was the first Gundam TV series produced in the 21st century. The story depicts the conflict and battles between genetically modified humans (Coordinators) and the rest of humanity (Naturals), divided into the military organization ZAFT and the Earth Alliance. Through this war, the series portrays the struggles and growth of the protagonist, Kira Yamato, a Coordinator. Attracting not only existing fans but also a significant number of female viewers, the series achieved a peak viewership rating of 8.0%. It also sparked a second Gundam model (Gunpla) boom among elementary school students, becoming a sensational "new generation Gundam series". Following its success, the sequel TV series "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY" aired from October 2004, surpassing its predecessor with a peak viewership rating of 8.2%. The series' cumulative package sales exceeded an astonishing 4 million units, becoming a popular work that swept across Japan with its music, events, and beyond the realm of TV anime series. The story of the completely new movie "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" follows as a sequel to "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY", unfolding a new story of Kira, Athrun, Shinn, and others in a world where the battle continues.
