The ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam (aka Strike Freedom, Freedom) is the successor of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It is piloted by Kira Yamato.
A mobile suit tuned to meet Kira Yamato's needs, the Strike Freedom has Variable Phase Shift armor, and like its predecessor, ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, is primarily armed with powerful ranged weapons. Its armaments include head-mounted CIWS, an abdomen-mounted multi-phase beam cannon, hip-mounted railguns, combine-able beam sabers and beam rifles, DRAGOON pods controlled by an improved DRAGOON system, and beam shields. It is powered by the new Hyper-Deuterion Engine, and is also equipped with the Neutron Jammer Canceller and the Voiture Lumiere propulsion system.
Due to Kira's stellar piloting, his mobile suit is rarely hit during combat and thus Strike Freedom's design emphasizes maneuverability over its armor's defensive capabilities, though beam shields were installed as a compensatory defensive measure. As a result, its armor is split into smaller pieces to improve the movement range of the joints (a similar armor-splitting system was also implemented in ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam). To compensate for exposing more of its internal parts, the suit's internal skeleton and joints adopted Phase Shift armor materials. When these parts phase-shift, they gain strength and near human flexibility. Additionally, excess residual energy within the body can be discharged through the joints' glowing effects.
The internal PS armor materials also helps to withstand the massive output and Gs caused by the Hyper Deuterion engine and the new propulsion system, playing a role in increasing Strike Freedom's mobility. However, the main contributor to the MS's superior mobility are the mobile weapon wings, which can be deployed in the "High Mobility Aerial Tactics (HiMAT)" Mode to enhance the suit's mobility in the atmosphere or in space. The wings also features a variant of the "Voiture Lumiere" propulsion system, which can generate a visual effect called the "Wings of the Skies" similar to Destiny Gundam's "Wings of Light" and is used as a means of high speed movement.
The Strike Freedom's Super DRAGOONs are based on ZAFT's second-generation DRAGOON system, with additional unique modifications. Designed specifically for Kira, they allow him to hit more targets at once using the Multi Lock-on System and Full Burst Mode as compared to when he was piloting the original Freedom. They also grant Kira the ability to hit the enemy from multiple directions remotely. Like the Freedom, the Strike Freedom is designed to operate alongside another mobile suit, in this case, the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam, and is stationed on board the warship FFMH-Y101 Eternal. It also has full flight capabilities in the atmosphere and can dock with the METEOR unit in space to further augment its firepower.
•MMI-GAU27D 31mm CIWS
Mounted in the head, the pair of CIWS guns are close-range weapons for intercepting incoming missiles and enemy units. Originally, the CIWS is supposed to be omitted due to a lack of space in the head unit. However, they are installed in the end due to their effectiveness and reliability.
•MGX-2235 "Calidus" Multi-Phase Beam Cannon
Mounted on the abdomen, this is the same type of large-caliber beam cannon as used by the ZGMF-X31S Abyss Gundam. However, as it is now powered by the Strike Freedom's Hyper-Deuterion Engine, it has higher firepower and rapid-fire capability. The cannon's muzzle is protected by Phase Shift armor. The beam fired from this cannon is the strongest among the suit's beam weaponry, capable of cancelling out the Destiny's long-range beam cannon shot.
•MX2200 Beam Shield
Generated from the forearms' beam shield generators, the pair of beam shields can effectively block most beam and physical attacks. They are an improved version of the Hyperion Gundams' mono-phase lightwave shield, and their strong defensive power comes at a cost of high energy consumption. However, the Strike Freedom can use them without any issue thanks to the massive output of its Hyper-Deuterion Engine.
•High-Mobility Aerial Tactics (HiMAT) Mode
A configuration in which the Strike Freedom's eight wings are unfolded for higher maneuverability during aerial combat. In space, the deployment of the wings enhances the Strike Freedom's AMBAC capabilities.
•Multi Lock-on System
Like the original Freedom, the Strike Freedom is equipped with this system to target multiple enemies and attack them at once. To use this system effectively, the pilot must have high spatial awareness capability, which is rare even among Coordinators. This system can also be used when the Strike Freedom docks with the METEOR unit.
•Full Burst Mode
The name of the attack mode in which the Strike Freedom uses its beam rifles, railguns, multi-phase beam cannon, and Super DRAGOONs all at once. This mode is also present in the original Freedom and is often used together with the Multi Lock-On System to destroy a large number of enemy units simultaneously. Thanks to the Super DRAGOONs, the Strike Freedom's Full Burst Mode has a larger firing range than the Freedom's, granting it a full 360-degree range of attack capability. However, on Earth, the Super DRAGOONs are not usable, making Strike Freedom's Full Burst Mode similar to the Freedom's.
Development
The direct successor of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam, the Strike Freedom was originally developed by ZAFT as a prototype machine for eventual mass-production. The development itself, which had started in the same time period as its predecessor, was behind schedule and could not be completed in time due to technical limitations in developing the DRAGOON System. Furthermore, its development was influenced by the Junius Treaty and data regarding the unit's existing development was to be sealed. However, the incomplete unit, or perhaps the design data, was stolen by the Clyne Faction, or some said its Terminal ally, who also deleted the data from the servers of ZAFT's Integrated Design Bureau. Redevelopment of the Strike Freedom was then carried out by Terminal/Clyne Faction, based on the operational data of the Freedom and incorporated the latest MS technology from ZAFT's Second Stage Series units. In fact, the Strike Freedom was redesigned and modified on the basis that it would become Kira's personal mobile suit.
Defending the Eternal
The Strike Freedom debuted during the later parts of the Second Alliance-PLANT War, when Kira boarded the Eternal in a damaged MBF-02 Strike Rouge (MBF-02+EW454F Strike Rouge Ootori in the HD Remaster) after coming to the aid of Andrew Waltfeld's custom-colored ZGMF-X88S Gaia Gundam. He then launched in the Strike Freedom to defend the ship from a pursuing ZAFT attack force. Kira, with the Strike Freedom, successfully disabled 25 ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior and ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited units within two minutes and then proceeded to disable 3 Nazca-class warships.
Second Battle of Orb
When it arrived on Earth along with the ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam (piloted by Lacus Clyne, delivered for Athrun Zala's use), it immediately confronted the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam, piloted by Shinn Asuka, breaking up its battle with the ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam (piloted by Kira's twin sister, Cagalli Yula Athha). The initial clash between the two suits resulted in the Strike Freedom gaining the upper hand, as the Destiny's beam boomerangs and anti-ship sword were destroyed and its energy supply was nearly depleted. Shinn was forced to retreat when Rey Za Burrel ordered him to return to the LHM-BB01 Minerva to resupply. Afterwards, Kira used the Strike Freedom to disable several attacking ZAFT mobile suits in and around Onogoro Island. The Destiny later returned to the battlefield, accompanied by Rey's ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam, to engage the Strike Freedom again. Together, both Destiny and Legend managed to put Strike Freedom on the defensive and gave the Destiny an opportunity to destroy the Strike Freedom. However, Athrun in the ∞ Justice arrived at that moment and stopped the attack. For the remainder of this battle, the ∞ Justice fought the Destiny, while the Strike Freedom engaged the Legend in a skirmish. Neither Strike Freedom or Legend gained an advantage nor damaged the other because Kira was in a daze after finding out Rey's "true" identity.
•The Strike Freedom Gundam was originally called "Super Freedom Gundam".
•When Strike Freedom was shown in the 3rd opening animation, its head crest displayed the words "Liberta Modifica", which is "Modified Freedom" in Italian. Starting with episode 39, the words were changed to "X-20A VENTI", which is "Twenty" in Italian, a reference to the Strike Freedom's model number.
•In episode 39, when the Strike Freedom activated Full Burst mode for the first time, the scene showing the attack hitting the multiple enemy units only depicted green beams from the Strike Freedom's DRAGOONs and Beam Rifles. The HD Remaster corrected the issue by including the attacks from the beam cannon and railguns.
•In the anime, the two beam rifles change their colors after the VPS armor is switched on, indicating that they may have been equipped with VPS armor. However, this feature has not been documented in any data books or model kit manuals.
•Some early sources described the Strike Freedom's power plant as "laser fusion engine". However, all later sources used "Hyper-Deuterion Engine".
•The Super DRAGOON's beam blade function is animated for the first time in Gundam Build Divers Battlogue.
