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. :)

Case of Yzak Jule: Click For Image

Famous quote that remains in history
A pilot in the service of ZAFT's elite troops, whose loyalty to his nation was shaken in the midst of war.

Case of Yzak Jule
Yzak Jule, who participated in the attack on Heliopolis as one of ZAFT's elite "ZAFT reds," was shaken by the repeated defections of his comrades.

The ZAFT red's battle of burning vengeance against Kira

CE 71/1/25 - Heliopolis - Episode 1
"It's what they deserve, after claiming to be neutral."

Yzak Jule, son of Ezalia Jule who is a member of PLANT's Supreme Council, graduated from the ZAFT military academy with high honors and was assigned to the Creuset Team led by Rau Le Creuset. As part of that team, Yzak participated in the mission to capture a new type of MS at Heliopolis, a resource satellite of Orb, alongside Athrun Zala, Dearka Elthman, Nicol Amarfi, and others who were stations with them from the same military academy. Yzak succeeded in capturing the Duel Gundam, one of the 5 "G" units. Following that, they continued their mission to secure the one unit they had failed to capture, the Strike Gundam. Miguel Ayman, one member of [Yzak's] team, was ordered to sortie with his GiNN to destroy the remainder of the base. While Nicol was concerned about the possible collapse of Heliopolis upon hearing that, Yzak replied with tone of mockery implying that they were stupid. he blamed Orb for developing the MS in collusion with the Earth forces, while trying to maintain their claim of neutrality.

Yzak argued that the attack on Heliopolis was justified because Orb had violated its neutrality claim.

CE 71/2/13 - Earth's low orbit - Episode 13
"Show yourself, Strike! Otherwise ... this wound won't stop aching!"

The Creuset Team, which had failed to capture the Strike in Heliopolis, were pursuing the Archangel, a new Earth Forces battleship that was equipped with the mobile suit. Yzak, piloting the Duel Gundam, chased the ship with Athrun, Nicol and Dearka. In the midst of this, it is discovered that Kira Yamato, the Strike's pilot, was a childhood friend of Athrun Zala, as well as a Coordinator. In place of Athrun, who was unable to take any harsh action against Kira, Yzak tries to defeat him. However, when they attacked the Archangel which had joined up with the Earth Force's 8th Fleet, the Duel was damaged in a fierce attack by Kira, who had manifested the SEED. In addition to this, Yzak himself was left with a large wound on his face. Yzak, his pride injured, returned to the front line with a scar that could have easily been surgically removed. This was an expression of Yzak's strong determination to never forget the humiliation of his defeat by the Strike.

Yzak was determined to defeat the Strike with the scar on his face. However, it was not possible to take him down in space, and he then descended to Earth.

CE 71/4/15~16 - Orb's waters - Episode 30
"Why did he have to die! In a place like this!"

Yzak's uphill battle continued. He struggled with the unfamiliar environment of the Earth alongside Dearka as part of the Waltfeld Team, and later became a subordinate to Athrun as part of the Zala Team formed under Creuset's orders, and spent his days unable to take the stage to defeat the Strike. Eventually, after infiltrating Orb, he launched an attack on the Archangel near Orb's waters. In this battle, they cornered the Archangel and the Strike, however Nicol, a member of the Zala Team, was attacked by the Strike and killed in battle. Yzak was often harsh to the kind-hearted Nicol, but as a comrade-in-arms, he still had strong feelings about his death and was angry at himself for not being able to save him. Yzak knew that it was futile, but he could not control his raging emotions.

Yzak had a hard time accepting Nicol's death. Although they did not get along well, it is certain that he considered Nicol an important ally.

CE 71/5/25 - Panama - Episode 37
"What's the point of killing an enemy that can't even move..."

In the battle to avenge Nicol on the Marshall Islands, Athrun was seriously injured and Dearka was taken prisoner by the Archangel. After that, Athrun returned to their homeland of PLANT, and Yzak was forced to stay on Earth. He participated in the battle of Panama, which was carried out to cut off the Earth Force's route to space, and succeeded, in destroying their mass driver, which was the final goal of the operation. Additionally, their special weapon, the gungnir showed its immense power during this battle, and disabled the Earth's Strike Dagger units one after another with an electromagnetic shockwave. ZAFT attacked the disabled MS and their pilots, as well as mercilessly killing the surrendering Earth soldiers. Yzak expressed disgust at these acts of slaughter, and said the above words. No matter how much he despised Naturals, that was a line he never crossed as a soldier.

Yzak understood the painful feelings of his fellow ZAFT soldiers who had suffered from the despicable actions of the Earth Forces. However, he did not agree with the slaughter.

CE 71/9/27 - Jachin Due - Episode 49
"Don't let a single shot get through to PLANT!"

The battle between ZAFT and the Earth Forces moved to space, as did Yzak. However, Dearka and Athrun had joined an independent force consisting of the Archangel, the Eternal and Kusanagi, leaving only Yzak in ZAFT. Yzak was reunited with Dearka and Athrun on the battlefield, and was inspired by them as he learned that they were fighting to stop the battle between ZAFT and the Earth Forces, which had turned into acts of complete destruction. Because his mother, Ezalia, was a member of PLANT's Supreme Council, Yzak did not want to leave ZAFT until the end. In the midst of this, he commanded the newly formed Jule Team, and focused his efforts solely on preventing a nuclear attack on his homeland of PLANT. His base, Boaz, was destroyed by a nuclear attack, but the attack on PLANT was successfully prevented thanks to the cooperation of the independent forces. Protecting his homeland - this was the only motivation that drove Yzak to the battlefield.

In the final battle, he collaborated with Dearka, who had joined the independent forces, and succeeded in destroying the Earth Force's Forbidden and Raider Gundams.

More Info!
Yzak after the end of the war
After the end of the second battle of Jachin Due, Yzak returned to PLANT. There was a possibility that Yzak might have been accused of having joined the independent forces, but he was allowed to return to ZAFT thanks to Gilbert Durandal, the newly appointed chairman of PLANT's Supreme Council, and the Jule Team was able to remain intact (Dearka also joined him as a subordinate). Later, when Athrun, who had been hiding in Orb, returned to PLANT, Yzak formally requested that he return to ZAFT.

Photo Captions:
After visiting Nicol's grave with Dearka, Yzak directly told Athrun to "come back" when they met again.

Yzak, who became the commander of the Jule Team, also participated in the Break The World incident and the crushing of Junius seven.

Fighting with the independent forces again
The war between ZAFT and the Earth Forces intensified again, starting with the Break the World incident. Yzak and the others put their trust in Durandal's policy and watched the situation unfold, but it became clear that it was a war to introduce a human management policy called the Destiny Plan. Yzak had doubts with this plan, which determines a person'a occupation based on their genetic information. Yzak chose to fight together again with the Orb forces, which opposed the introduction of the plan.

Photo Captions:
The leader of the Clyne faction, Lacus Clyne was aboard the Eternal, and Yzak offered to protect them.

"Right now, there's also one person I want to punch!" He showed a mixture of annoyance and envy at Athrun, who had somehow ended up with the independent forces.
