Also a new 30 second scene of Sai and Flay conversing has been added The scene with Rau and Athrun discussing the Strike's pilot is reduced to a 10-second flashback and is inserted into the scene where Athrun is lying and thinking about the loss of Rusty and Miguel The Archangels heading to Artemis and the Battle of Artemis footage had been removed. Athrun's shower scene (ep 8) is lengthened and intercut with scenes of his parents; and the scene following this (his discovery of Lacus' disappearance) is completely redone and moved to be ahead of hatch opening sequence of Lacus's life pod. Backstory from the first clip show is never told. New 25 second clip of Lacus trip to the cafeteria on board the Archangel The scene of Rau and Mu taking the opportunity to attack during the time that Kira is transferring Lacus to Athrun only for Lacus to order Rau to stand down and withdraw is removed. Scene of Kira having sex with Flay is shown cut between Strike's first battle in the desert with additional new footage. Cagalli's bath sequence is changed from a bath to a shower instead, probably for fanservice. The scenes of Dearka and Yzak assisting Andrew Waltfeld during his final attack on the Archangel have been removed. Special Edition II - The Far-Away Dawn Kira's battles with Marco Morassim are reduced to a few frames The scene where Cagalli and Athrun formally introduce themselves to each other has been moved into a flashback scene during the Zala Team's attack on the Archangel. There are only a few seconds separating Nicol's death from the next battle between Kira and Athrun. Tolle's death scene is redone and is more gruesome than the TV Series version. A new scene is added where Kisaka comes to get Cagalli after the Archangel sends a distress signal to Orb after the battle between Kira and Athrun. When Athrun meets with Lacus in the theatre, the gunmen attempting to assassinate her are removed. The scene where Erica Simmons shows that she has rebuilt the Strike and equipped it with Orb's OS system and Mu's decision to pilot it has been removed, instead it shows Mu piloting the rebuilt Strike during the Orb arc without any explanation of how he received it. Most of the Orb arc is shown with battle scenes being spliced together to create enlarged confrontations. The
