{{nihongo|'''Yzak Joule'''|イザーク・ジュール|Izāku Jūru}} is a fictional character from the Japanese science fiction ] television series '']'' and its squeal '']''. |

|
|
|
In some Japanese merchandise and other products, Yzak's family name may be romanized as '''Jule'''.<ref name="card"/> In '']'', Yzak is named '''Isaac'''. |

Yzak Joule is a second-generation Coordinator<ref name="GSyzak"/> who graduated at the top of his class from the ] military academy, granting him the right to wear the red uniform of an elite ZAFT pilot. Upon his graduation, Yzak was assigned to the prestigious ZAFT ] special operations team. His mother, Ezalia Joule, is a member of the ], as were the parents of the other elite pilots in the Le Creuset team (except for ], the ill-fated would-be pilot of the ] or the ]). He and the Le Creuset team was assigned to infiltrate the ] space colony ] to capture the ]'s new prototype ]s. Yzak managed to escape Heliopolis with the ], and he became the Duel's permanent pilot after the destruction of the colony. Yzak, with the rest of the Le Creuset team, continued to harass the '']'' and ], pilot of the Strike. In ''Gundam SEED'', Yzak is characterized by his zealous loyalty to ZAFT and his commanding officer ], not unlike the fanatatical devotion ] had for the ] and ] in '']''. Yzak is extremely proud of his elite status, and considers his teammate ] as his primary rival.<ref name="GSyzak"/> |

=== Vendetta against Kira === |
|
|
During one battle, Kira gave Yzak a scar across his face, which he chose to wear as a reminder of who gave it to him. However, it also drove him to murder, as witnessed in the next battle, the ], when he mercilessly (and mistakenly) shot down a civilian shuttle while under the impression that there were retreating soldiers on board. This act had a traumatic effect on Kira because one of the passengers on board this shuttle was a little girl named Elle who gave him an origami flower as a token of her appreciation for his protection earlier. |
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the Battle of Orbit, Yzak enters Earth's atmosphere in the Duel and lands safely in ]. He is then assigned to ], to join up with ], the Desert Tiger. During a battle with the ''Archangel'' and Desert Dawn, Waltfeld insisted Yzak stay on top of the '']'', but he disobeys orders and leaves the ''Lesseps'' and tries to enter the battle. |
|
|
|
|
|
When ] is killed later on by Kira, Yzak shows his anger by cursing and beating Nicol's locker, asking why he had to die. He reminds his surviving teammates, ] and Athrun, that Kira also killed ] and gave him (Yzak) his scar. He and Athrun both vow to kill Kira the next time they meet, but Athrun comes much closer when he destroys the ] with the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the tension between them in the past, Yzak shakes hands with Athrun as the latter is setting off to accept his promotion to the special forces. Although Yzak swears next time ''he'll'' be in charge, he tells Athrun not to get killed until then. |
|
|
|
|
|
Yzak later battled Kira again when he appeared with the stolen ] at the ]. Despite the fact that Yzak had killed Elle in cold blood, Kira refrained from killing him in return; instead, Kira damaged the Duel and told Yzak to retreat from JOSH-A, in order to save him from the ]. Yzak later participated in the ], in which he fought the Earth Alliance's new ] for the first time. However, once ZAFT triggered the ] rendering all the Strike Daggers paralyzed, Yzak did not participate any further because his opponents were defenseless. He also expressed his disgust at the glee exhibited by his ZAFT comrades while firing on the disabled mobile suits and executing surrendering Earth Alliance soldiers out of revenge for the Battle of JOSH-A. This probably was the start of his realization to the horror of the current ZAFT's fanaticism, even before he meets Dearka again, and showing that despite his arrogance and zeal, he is not without honor and valor. |

=== Doubt === |
|
|
When the Earth Alliance later ] in hopes of obtaining their ], Yzak accompanies Le Creuset to observe. During the course of this event, Le Creuset comments that Yzak looks distressed and asks him if he wants to participate in the battle. Yzak says no, but Le Creuset adds that the ] refused all offers of assistance from ZAFT and therefore they cannot intervene to which Yzak insists that he is not interested. He asks about the situation with ], a former crew member of the ''Archangel'' whom Le Creuset abducted back at JOSH-A. Unbeknownst to him, Flay used to be lovers with Kira. In fact, she played a key role in the battle where Kira gave Yzak his scar by manipulating the former to fight as hard as he did. Although nothing happens between the two of them, Flay sneaks glances at Yzak every once in a while during her time with ZAFT and thinks about him as well as Kira and Le Creuset later on when ] declares his goal of eliminating all Coordinators at the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Yzak is also perplexed after hearing about ] and ] defecting from the PLANTs because of the stern leadership of ] to which Le Creuset asks, "What is it one should be fighting for?" - a question that Lacus had posed much earlier in his presence. Yzak is visibly moved by this question, yet he continues to faithfully serve ZAFT. |
|
|
|
|
|
Yzak later found himself reunited with his old friend Dearka on the ], where he initially accuses him of betraying the ]s. Dearka denied the accusation, saying he would never betray his own people; however, he also refused to fight in order to wipe out all the ], a goal which ] had openly confirmed earlier when confronted by his son Athrun, who had also defected from ZAFT. Dearka also told Yzak all about Kira, and explained that he was not really their enemy. Given the gravity of these revelations, Yzak had a hard time believing them and told Dearka that he was being deceived; in response, Dearka retorted, "which one of us is really being deceived?" |
|
|
|
|
|
In the end, Yzak chose to aid the ] during the ] after seeing the destructive capabilities of ZAFT's ] weapon and realizing what Dearka said before about ZAFT could be true. When ZAFT prepares to fire GENESIS for the first time, Yzak tells Kira and Athrun to get out of its firing range. Later when ] attempted to kill ] in her ], Yzak protected her with his Duel; then Dearka and Yzak in their respective mobile suits went on to destroy the ] with Shani inside. When the ZAFT superweapon GENESIS fired for the first time and annihilates half of the Earth Alliance fleet, Yzak retreated to a nearby ZAFT base. There, he has his first and only talk in the series with his mother. Later, when the ] was severely damaged by the ]'s ], Yzak rushed in to save Dearka, only for both pilots to be attacked by an insane ], the last of the three ] and the pilot of the ]; Yzak took the Buster's cannon and used it to destroy the Raider, killing Clotho in the process. (In '']'', however, Dearka killed Clotho instead of Yzak; this is currently the scenario that is considered ].) He then brought Dearka back to the ''Archangel''. |
|
|
|
|
|
Near the end of the ], Yzak was promoted and given command of his own special forces unit; after the war, Yzak served in his mother's place as a temporary member of the PLANT Supreme Council.<ref>Gundam Seed After Phase OVA</ref> Following this, he was promoted to white uniform status and reformed the Joule team; joining him were his former comrade and friend Dearka Elsman as well as Shiho Hahnenfuss, a highly intelligent test pilot and fellow red uniform that Yzak had befriended earlier on in the war. These two friends appear to be the senior officers of the Joule team. |

Before the ] began, Yzak, Dearka, and other ZAFT "war criminals" from the First ] were put on trial. Yzak should have been executed for his actions during the ] (he himself says so later on when ] returns to the ]s); however, thanks to ] Chairman ]'s defending speech, he continued to serve as a commander. The Joule team was involved in the unsuccessful attempt to prevent the ], as well as the pursuit of the next-generation Gundams stolen from ZAFT, during which many of his subordinates were killed. During this battle, however, Yzak shows he is still an effective soldier, albeit more level-headed. Rather than kill ] and ] as he surely would have done during the first war, Yzak simply holds them off by damaging their mobile suits just as ] did to him during ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Later when Athrun pays a visit to the PLANTs shortly after the Second Bloody Valentine War began, Yzak and Dearka are called from the frontlines to provide escort service. The three of them pay tribute to their fallen comrades from the first war - ], ], and ]. Then Yzak asks Athrun to return to ZAFT and promises to help arrange things. |
|
|
|
|
|
As a commander, Yzak was initially assigned a blue-colored ], which he had outfitted with the optional Slash armament pack (fitting his hand-to-hand combat style); later, he switched to a white-colored ]. He also had command of the ] ''Voltaire'' and ''Rousseau''. In addition, he had his scar removed after the first war, presumably symbolizing the end of his grudge against Kira. Later during the Second Bloody Valentine War, he led the attack on one of the ] relay stations during the attempted firing of the weapon on ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that Yzak did not immediately side with the Clyne Faction; at first, he went after Athrun, once again feeling his leadership position threatened. Dearka intervened, however, and convinced him to focus on the battle. As the '']'' and '']'' entered battle with the ], Yzak ordered his forces to protect the ''Eternal'' from the ], under the logic that he would be protecting a ZAFT ship. When he accompanied Lacus to meet with Kira in the special edition he is seen smiling with Dearka, Shiho, Athrun and Meyrin as Kira and Lacus hugged each other while the rest of the audience was surprised. He was last seen escorting ] into the PLANT Supreme Council chamber in ''Gundam SEED Destiny'' "Final Plus". |
