The MBF-P03secondL Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L is the upgraded form of the MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame introduced in the novel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray. It is piloted by Gai Murakumo.
The Blue Frame Second L is created after MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame is damaged in battle against the Socius clones, and combines upgrade parts that Gai designed, with upgrade parts developed by Lowe for his MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame. In addition, its cockpit is now protected by Trans Phase armor. The parts that Gai designed (new feet and shoulder armor) are already in production before the fight, but did not make it in time. The new, smaller feet give the MS better jumping power and are mounted with retractable "Armor Schneider" combat knives in the heels and toes, which could be used as kicking weapons or as anchoring spikes. The new shoulders contain fin thrusters to improve the suit's evasion capability, and can also be used to make unexpected sideways maneuvers during battle. Two other combat knives are also equipped on the hips.
