Translation Things

[coordination]

From blurbs/articles in magazines/on websites and whatever else!

(mostly Yzak profiles/stuff but considering his name shows up in like, almost every one of Dearka's profiles you'll probably see a lot of his stuff too as a result - but only sentences that actually talk about Yzak because lol)



Standard disclaimer, my translations aren't always the best as I'm pretty meager at it, so some parts will be translated, and some may more be me summarizing jists of things as I probably had a tough time putting something into the right words. But also hey I'm basically mostly doing this for myself anyway.

The order these links are in are my own personal preference, from articles/blurbs I like the best/find more in-depth or interesting to ones that are shorter and more standard. So if you're looking that way, enjoy! Otherwise, all translations can be found below in the comments. :)

Yzak Jule
Age: 17 years
Affiliation: ZAFT Creuset Team
Rank: ---
Birthplace: PLANT
Skills: MS handling, hand-to-hand combat

The Duel pilot fixated on the Strike

A red-uniformed member of the Creuset Team who relies on his superior abilities
Yzak Jule was born as an advanced species called a Coordinator, blessed with good qualities and a noble family background. These circumstances instilled in him an extraordinarily high pride as an elite. While pride is a catalyst for improving oneself, it also serves as a displeasure when one meets someone they cannot surpass. Yzak's opponent where his pride was concerned was Athrun Zala - a classmate of his at the academy, where he was the top student, leaving Yzak to be the second best. While Yzak's rivalry was fierce, his opponent also had his own competitors that shook up his pride.

After the capture of the "G" units at Heliopolis in CE 71, Yzak and the others pursued the one unit that was not captured, as well as its mothership, dubbed the "legged ship," and they were continuously beaten by the Strike. Yzak, who was too slow during their chase, was wounded and humiliated. Thus, his hostility was focused on the Strike, who had gave him his injury.

He is very conscious of Athrun, and this rivalry is manifested in his aggressive attitude. However, he showed more respect than the others when Athrun became the leader, he complained but he obeyed.

Yzak showed an extreme obsession with the Strike after he was injured. In order to never forget his humiliation, he dared not removed the scar on his face, and vowed to only after he defeated the Strike.

Character - Personality
He is a confident person backed by his abilities as a Coordinator, and his price and sense of honor are very high. This makes him appear like a boorish man, but in fact he is a compassionate man who cares for his friends. At the time of Nicol Amarfi's death, he unexpectedly showed tears of intense grief.

Normally, he has a calm and relaxed demeanor that suggests a good upbringing. However, Yzak is a passionate person who often showed his emotions and loses his temper.

SEED 02 - 11 Athrun Zala
Member of the Creuset Team and pilot of the Aegis. He was always at the top of the class in the academy, so Yzak considers him a rival. As a result, they often clash with one another.

"Damned Strike. This Assault Shroud will avenge this humiliation!"
After graduating from the academy with excellent grades, Yzak was bestowed the "red uniform" as a sign of being one of the elite, and was assigned to the prestigious Creuset Team. CE 71, Yzak went on a mission to steal the Earth Alliance's new "G" mobile weapon. Yzak infiltrated the Orb Union's neutral colony of Heliopolis, succeeding in seizing Duel, one of the "G" units, and became its exclusive pilot. The capture was not complete successful, as the "G" unit Strike and its mothership, the Archangel, escaped Heliopolis. The Creuset Team pursued them.

Yzak and his comrades attacked over and over with the "G" units they had stolen, but every time they were thwarted by the Strike, and each time Yzak's pride was damaged. Then, just before the Archangel joined the Alliance's 8th Fleet, Yzak engaged with the Strike and was wounded as his aircraft was defeated. At that time, he was unaware that Strike's pilot was a Coordinator, so to him, his pride could not forgive the fact that he lost to a Natural. To avenge his humiliation, he was determined to take down the Strike.

Yzak landed on Earth and once again, his pride was injured. He appealed to Creuset to pursue the Archangel, which was accepted, and a new team was formed. But Athrun, who had been in the same position as Yzak, was appointed as the leader of the team instead of Yzak, who was the one eager to continue their pursuit. While he once again shuddered with humiliation, he took it in stride, and as a member of the Zala team, his determination to defeat the Strike continued.

Record - Rivalry with Athrun Zala
Athrun was a classmate of his in the academy, and Yzak did not get along well with his serious earnest personality. In addition, his naturally strong pride was incompatible with Athrun, so he developed a sense of rivalry with him, who also excelled in his grades. However, he ended up being the runner-up and was never able to surpass Athrun, who was first place in the academy. Yzak's view of him as a rival is a one-way one. The conflicts that arose from this did not change when Yzak was assigned to the Creuset Team, so he often came into conflict with Athrun. But then came a turning point. Athurn, who was on equal footing with Yzak, was chosen to become their team leader, making Yzak his subordinate. Although Yzak's pride was greatly damaged by his very clear position, he still recognized Athrun's ability and accepted it deep down.

Ability - Pride as a red coat
"We're not wearing red for show!" Yzak's words conveyed his pride as a red coat. Yzak was proud of his status as a red, because one could not wear the red uniform without having the ability to show for it. Yzak's efforts to be an elite by not shying away from his origins is what made him a red coat of ZAFT.

Red uniform given to the top students after graduating from the academy. Yzak has a wide variety of abilities that put others to shame, including MS piloting, strategy planning, and hand-to-hand combat.

A: His well-trimmed hairstyle reveals a meticulous character with good upbringing. Surprisingly, he has a hobby of folklore, and bought amulets when he infiltrated Orb, which he later gave to his subordinates on the Jule Team.

B: ZAFT's red military uniform that only the elite are allowed to wear. Yzak himself has a self-consciousness of being elite, so the red coat seems to have satisfied his ego to a large extent.

C: He is a hot-blooded young man, and despite his appearance, he intensely expresses his emotions. He was so determined to defeat the Strike that he even showed defiance to his superior, Andrew Waltfeld.

D: His appearance is so beautiful that it could be called androgynous. His smile is lustrous, but his gaze has the sharpness of that of a bird of prey. His silver hair seems to have been inherited from his mother, Ezalia.

E: A ZAFT pilot suit. It is a sign of the elite, colored red much like their military uniform. The design is the same as the green colored suit, and there is no difference in the function of the pilot suit.

Dearka Elthman and Yzak are good friends who were roommates at the academy. Even after being assigned to the Creuset Team, Dearka remained with Yzak and was responsible for stopping him when he'd get too heated.

Due to Athrun's selfish actions, Yzak failed to take down the Strike. After returning to the ship, they question Athrun, but Nicol intervenes and Yzak backs down.

Yzak is wounded in a battle with the Strike. For a man of high pride, it was an unbearable humiliation to receive such an injury from one the very Naturals that he had looked down upon. In a fit of rage, he goes after the Archangel while his wounds are still healing.

Yzak, under the command of Waltfeld, was unhappy when he was not sent to the front line and vehemently protested.

It was humiliating to be under Athrun's command, but Yzak decided to suppress his anger and see what would happen.

More Info! Mother, who is a PLANT council member
The decisions of PLANT are made by the consensus of the Supreme Council. Yzak Jule's mother, Ezalia Jule was a member of this council. Ezalia did not harbor good feelings toward Naturals, and supported Patrick Zala who was fighting in an all-out war. She was an active member of the Zala faction. Ezalia, looking ahead to the post-war period, told her son "you'll have more to do after the war." After the ceasefire, Yzak was working as a member of the government, and may have acted in response to his mother's wish.

Photo Captions:
She treasured the chance encounter with her son, and for a brief moment her expression changed from that of a member of the council to that of a mother, who cared for Yzak.

During the second battle of Jachin Due, she was in command of the army in place of Chairman Zala. Then, fearing for her son's safety, arranged for the Jule Team to be sent to the rear.
