Having defeated Logos and the Earth Alliance, the triumphant Chairman Durandal now reveals his ultimate plan for humanity. The world reacts with confusion and horror to the details of the Destiny Plan, but Durandal has come too far to let anyone stand in the way of his dream of eternal peace and happiness. Using the weapons of his fallen enemies, the Chairman demonstrates that he will stop at nothing to create his new world. The Archangel and its allies are now humanity's last hope to prevent Durandal from carrying out his plans. Once again, a fierce battle begins around the Requiem cannon and its relay stations, and our lead pilots meet in a final confrontation over the lunar surface. Shinn against Athrun, Kira against Rey, Archangel against Minerva... In the end, there can be only one victor.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This compilation movie compresses roughly 20 episodes of TV material, meaning several character arcs exist only in implication—Shinn's mentorship under Rey is basically subtext now.
The Destiny Plan's eugenics-coded utopia hit differently in 2023 post-pandemic discourse than its 2006 original airing, making Durandal's sympathetic framing unintentionally more uncomfortable.
