* DeadPersonConversation: Played with, unlike most other examples in the series. While the scene with Kira and Flay's spirit invokes this trope, it's by WordOfGod merely an illustration of what Flay could have said to Kira had she lived, rather than a genuine conversation. Whether it actually happened in the shows continuity is debatable. Out of universe, it is clearer on rewatch and with this knowledge in mind (say for a moment of translation issues in the dubbed version), that Kira is scripted and animated to hide the fact that he can't actually hear her. However, in universe, it can be claimed Kira's newly awakened PsychicPowers aren't powerful enough to let him hear her, thus keeping the intended reactions consistent while allowing the scene to actually happen in the show.
* DubInducedPlotHole: Related to the above and only a mild example due to the nature of the scene, but in the dubbed version, Kira does acknowledge Flay's words to him, something that does not happen in the original Japanese script. It doesn't massively change the episode's plot, but it does change the context of the scene somewhat, making it seem like Flay's words were what activated Kira's SEED mode this time, rather than him being enraged in general at everything Rau has done, including killing her.

As ZAFT, the Earth Alliance and the Three Ships Alliance continue their fight, Lacus begs ZAFT to not fire the Genesis weapon and we see moments of the surviving fighters - the members of Orb, Patrick Zala, a drug-withdrawn Clotho, Rau spotting the wreckage of the Strike and a grieving Murrue. Kira, Athrun and Cagalli head of Jachin Due, but Kira breaks away, sensing something and asking Athrun to watch Cagalli. It seems that a fated duel is about to begin...\\
\\
On the ''Archangel'', as Murrue continues grieving, the rest of the crew are trying to keep the ship afloat. On the ''Dominion''[='s=] lifeboat, Flay suggests that they head for the ''Archangel'' for safety. Rau closes the Providence towards the ''Archangel'', musing at how disappointing Azrael was in the end. Miriallia catches the Providence on radar, snapping Murrue out of her grief. Yzak is shocked - he doesn't recognize that suit at all. Dearka fires the Buster's rifle at the Providence, but it dodges and unleashes its DRAGOON pods. Kira races in with the Freedom + METEOR and begins to duel the Providence as the Buster is ravaged by the DRAGOON.\\
\\
Flay spots the battle and calls out for Kira, annoying Rau at the fact that she's around again. As Kira battles Rau, the madman destroys the METEOR's cannons and deflects all of Kira's attacks, ranting that someone like Kira shouldn't exist. Yzak flies to Dearka's side to check on him, but encounters Clotho firing the Raider's cannons at him, shooting the Duel's beam rifle out of his hand.\\
\\
Kira and Rau continue their duel with Rau ranting that if people learned of Kira's existence, they would want to be like him and seek to create him. Kira brushes these rants off even as Rau tears apart his METEOR. As Clotho loses the last of his sanity, Yzak takes the Buster's Anti-Ship Rifle and seemingly misses the Raider as its beam cannon glances off the Duel's shoulder. However, the Mobile Suit ends up exploding, having taken a direct hit, the Duel finally powering down.\\
\\
Kira attempts to tell Rau that what he is doesn't make up who he is, but Rau brushes it off, telling him that people would never understand such talk. As the Providence keeps wrecking the METEOR, Kira spots the lifeboat holding Flay. Kira ejects the Freedom from the METEOR and rushes to the lifeboat's side as Rau takes aim and fires. Kira is able to stop the blast with his shield, but the tender moment is forever ruined as a DRAGOON shoots the lifeboat, destroying it and killing everyone aboard. As Kira screams Flay's name in despair and Rau flies off, the ''Archangel'' crew, Yzak and Dearka can only stare in disbelief.\\
\\
As Kira grieves for Flay and hating himself for failing to save her, Flay's spirit approaches him. She apologizes for her actions, stating that she was scared and confused, but now she understands everything. Her spirit embraces Kira, promising her true feelings will protect him for now on. Kira recovers from his moment and, activating SEED Mode, chases after Rau. At Jachin Due, the ''Eternal'' and ''Kusenagi'' arrive at the Genesis Weapon and fires their weapons at it. To their shock, it does no damage, the Phase Shift Armor on it being super strong. Patrick tells his men to hurry up and aim the Genesis at the east coast of North America, shocking them.\\
\\
Athrun and Cagalli arrive at Jachin Due soon after and the two agree to enter the base and destroy the controls there. Despite the worries, the two head on. Moments later, Rau arrives and unleashes his DRAGOON pods on the ''Kusenagi'' and ''Eternal'', musing in disappointment that he did like Lacus' songs, but the real world isn't a cutesy song. Rau's shocked as the enraged Kira arrives, attacking him and wrecking some of the DRAGOON. As Athrun and Cagalli reach Jachin, Athrun begs the soldiers to stop fighting, but they refuse because of various reasons.\\
\\
As Kira and Rau fight, Rau rants that the path they are heading for is the ultimate path for humanity - extinction for all as they all should. With Genesis ready to fire, Patrick asks why they haven't pulled the trigger. Ray attempts to reason with the chairman, but he responds by drawing his pistol and shooting him. On the ''Archangel'', Yzak and Dearka dock their damaged Mobile Suits as the bridge crew realize they've lost Kira and the other ships. Kira's fight with Rau goes poorly as the man's words start to eat at him as the Freedom loses its right leg and shield. Kira begins to think back to his early days and how others spoke of him as Rau continues his terrible rants.\\
\\
In Jachin Due, Athrun and Cagalli fight their way inside as Patrick rants about how the enemy is still out there and that they need to fire Genesis so that they can fully grasp victory. To everyone's horror, they watch as the dying Ray shoots Patrick moments before Cagalli and Athrun arrive. As the soldiers escape, the two retrieve Patrick. With Patrick's dying words, he begs Athrun to fire Genesis. As the ''Archangel'' rejoins the other ships, they are confused about Kira's whereabouts as well as why everyone is escaping. Suddenly, a message comes up with a timer -- Jachin Due is set to self-destruct and its rigged Genesis to fire. As Athrun and Cagalli escape and, elsewhere, members of the ZAFT Supreme Council are captured by other members, Rau gloats that victory is his - Genesis cannot be stopped and the destruction it will bring will reignite the flames of war.\\
\\
Realizing there's no other choice, Athrun decides to bring the Justice inside Genesis and self-destruct it. As Cagalli chases Athrun, Kira continues his fight with Rau as he reveals that everything that came to this point was his doing. Kira damages the Providence further by destroying its left arm. Cagalli begs Athrun to not go through with his plan as it'll lead to his death. Athrun is unmoved and sends his sublifter to block the Strike Rouge. Kira's fight with Rau continues with the Freedom losing its right arm, leading Kira to draw his beam saber. As Athrun reaches the core and begins the self destruct sequence, Cagalli catches up, tearfully begging him not to die as well, that living is a greater battle to fight.\\
\\
Kira's fight with Rau reaches its conclusion as the Providence is disarmed and the Freedom is shot in the head and chest vent. Kira is able to get in close and skewers the suit with his beam saber. As Jachin Due self destructs, Genesis fires, consuming the Providence and peeling away the Freedom's armor as the Justice self-destructs and destroys the weapon. As Lacus and the others worry for Kira's safety among the destruction, a radio transmission is made with the ZAFT Provisional Supreme Council seeking to set up truce talks to end the fighting.\\
\\
Elsewhere, Athrun and Cagalli climb out of the damaged Strike Rouge and tearfully cling to each other. Outside the ''Archangel'', Birdie escapes, making Sai realize it knows about Kira. Athrun and Cagalli catch sight of the bird and chase after it. Outside the wreckage of the Freedom, Kira floats in space, wondering what kind of world exists now?
