Gundam Seed Question?

Question

Did Kira and Cagalli find out that they are actually twin? How did they found out? Why is only Kira turn into a Coordinator but not Cagalli? Is Cagalli adopted by the Attha? And why is Kira called a Ultimate Coordinator?

How can Cagalli eyes be like Kira and Athrun( those special effects on the eyes) when she is not a Coordinator?

Answer 1

Kira and Cagalli were originally Natural twins. Kira was taken from his mother's womb early in his development and placed into an artificial womb to be experimented upon and made into the Ultimate Coordinator (he has all the best qualities a coordinator should have); while Cagalli was born as a Natural in her mother's womb, so the two could have been born at the same exact time.

Then, when they were born, they were adopted by different parents, thus the difference in surname (which reminds me of Luke and Leia of Star Wars) in order to protect their identities, most especially Kira because he is being hunted down since he is the Ultimate Coordinator.

Cagalli insists that Kira is her little brother because of his meek, cry-baby personality in Seed. But others may agrue that Kira was first taken out of their mother's womb, so he must be first born, regardless of the same birthday.

Cagalli knew that Kira is her brother when her adoptive dad gave her a picture of them as babies. Kira then knew about that when he visited the Mendel Colony and Rau showed the picture of Kira and Cagalli as babies.

Cagalli and anyone in fact can enter into "Seed Mode" as long as there is the rush of adrenaline and concentration.

Answer 2

At first, they didn't know that they're siblings. The key event is when Kira gives Cagalli a photograph of her and Kira when they were babies - in the arms of their birth mother, Via Hibiki. And that means in the end, they know the truth.

Kira is Coordinator because Kira was developed inside aritficial womb and undergo some genetic enhancement. While Cagalli didn't. She's a Naturals and there's a flashback about her biological mother is pregnant with her (indicating that Cagalli didn't born with genetic enhancement). Even Uzumi Nara Attha says that Cagalli IS a natural.

Then maybe you ask, "Cagalli has entered SEED mode once!". You must remember that SEED mode isn't exclusive to Coordinator (which makes you think why Cagalli isn't Coordinator?). SEED factor is the next step of human development (similar to Newtype), hence both Coordinators and Naturals are able to possess "the SEED".

And Yes, Cagalli is the adopted daughter of Uzumi Nara Athha.

Coordinators do have their flaw. It seems that unwanted genetic traits appear in the baby (the Coordinator), arguably due to the inability of the mother's womb to pose as an adequate environment to support the genetic modifications. That's way Professor Ulen Hibiki proposed the usage of an artificial womb to circumvent the natural womb's shortcomings.

Coordinator made this way refered as the Ultimate Coordinator, since they don't have any unwanted genetic traits. And as you know, Professor Hibiki used his own son (Kira) as an one of the experiments. Many "prototypes" failed but Kira is the last and successful "Ultimate Coordinator".

Well, I hope it can answer your question. As usual, for more detailed information, refer to the links below.

Answer 3

Yes they find out in the end of the series, I think is chapter 47.... maybe...
Only kira is a coordinator cuz... mmm I don't know how to explain... mmm they're mother got pregnant the natural way (meaning the twins weren't supposed to be coordinators) but later on the pregnancy the father decided to use an invention to create an ultimate coordinator... wich turned out to be kira...
Yeah she's adopted...

Answer 4

ok kira found out by way of Rau Le Creuset when kira and Mu La Flaga battled in the fallen part's of the station of Heliopolis colony. in the final battles in space. kira not only found out about his Coordinator origins. but found out about his being the ultimate Coordinator. you see him and Cagalli were both conceved atthe same time in their mother's womb but a dotor named doctor he biki kira father took kira out of their mother's womb and put in an artificial one. or a pod so to say aturn kira into the ultimate Coordinator using some gene's from Mu La Flaga's selfish and arrogent father Al La Flaga. the ultimaste Coordinator is a super type mutant as the gundam series put it. and from what was shown Mu La Flaga and Rau Le Creuset who are Al la Flaga off spring are human also known/called as New types, mutant human's with psionic ability that can do uncanny thing's with mobile suites especially gundams. here's more for you here. aparently there are other desendent's of al la flaga out there. but most are near death or are failed exparerment's of the ultimate Coordinator program.

Special note this is why both Mu and Rau can sense each other's presence. and why kira can later at the end of the series of gundam seed.

kira is the perfect blend of the Coordinator / newtypes version of humanity. thus why he's called the ultimate Coordinator. for now he is beyound evry one. oh befor I for get Cagalli find's out from her adopted father Representive Yula Athha just on the day he dies saving his daughter and the crew of the archangel by blow up the company that made the gundam suites. and said good bye to her in the shuttle bay. with her argueing with him and her crying. I saw most of that show. I waiting for seed destiny to appear some time on YTV. man it's taking way too long.
