Gundam SEED: Rise from East Asia

While the Atlantic Federation and ZAFT are locked in a bitter, all-out war, the Earth Alliance's third major faction—the East Asian Republic—quietly pursues its own agenda: exploring parallel worlds. Long dismissed as little more than a backdrop, the Republic gradually forces the other global powers to take notice. The introduction of Zentraedi technology compels the Earth Alliance to reevaluate its junior partner, and the old order begins to shift. The era of Atlantic Federation dominance is ending; the East Asian Republic is poised to take command. The Atlantic Federation's LOGOS are exposed as mere clowns, while Blue Cosmos reveals itself as nothing but a terrorist organization—the Earth Alliance refuses to be led by their whims any longer. When the compact and agile variable fighters enter the battlefield, both the Atlantic Federation and ZAFT are forced to swallow their pride. And as for nuclear threats? After witnessing a single coordinated salvo from the Zentraedi Grand Fleet's warships, every side falls into stunned silence. (Tentative otherworld exploration arcs: Macross Frontier → Gundam 00 → Gundam UC → Knights of Sidonia.)
