Ep. 15: Archangel lands in Sahara after saving Kira from atmospheric entry
Aired on January 11, 2003
The Archangel protects Kira while entering Earth's atmosphere, causing them to crash in ZAFT-controlled Sahara territory in northern Africa instead of reaching Alaska. Flay tends to Kira's injuries and provides comfort as he struggles with traumatic memories of the spacecraft destroyed during the previous battle. This deviation from their planned destination leaves them stranded in hostile territory, forcing the crew to deal with the immediate consequences of their altered landing site while Kira processes the psychological impact of the recent combat.
