Original subtitles

A half-century has passed since mankind began moving its burgeoning population to outer space.

Gigantic colonies orbiting the Earth have become mankind's second home,

where people are born, raised and die.

The year is Universal Century 0079.

The group of colonies furthest from Earth, Side 3, have declared themselves the Principality of Zeon

and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation government.

Both Zeon and the Federation lost half of their respective populations in the war's first month alone.

People lived in fear of their own actions.

The Order to Destroy the Gundam

The Order to Destroy the Gundam!

I don't care if they're civilians, just get me some help!

Incoming!

Where's my Yuri?!

Come back!

Hurry up and get on the White Base!

Yuri!

Hold on tight!

Hurry!

Fraw Bow, hurry up and get aboard the White Base!

It's a mobile suit!

Amuro? Is that you in that mobile suit, Amuro?

Get going! The air in this section is going to run out pretty soon!

Right!

I've got this, Captain! You should get back to the ship!

You're just a pilot trainee! Are you sure you can fire this thing?

I'll do my best, sir!

Okay, I'm counting on you.

Captain!

Are you all right?

Yes, sir!

You followed Denim's orders, as well as mine.

You have nothing to worry about, Chief Slender.

Thank you, Commander!

Although personally, it's hard to believe the Federation

has built a mobile suit as impressive as the one you described.

I know, sir, but I saw it myself!

Ensign!

Sir?

Open a laser comm channel and contact Vice Admiral Dozle.

Sir.

You'll be safe inside the ship.

Just sit tight.

Hey, you down there!

You can tie bandages, right?

Give us a hand up here!

Sure!

I'll help you guys find your mothers later, okay?

Over there.

Right!

Excuse me...

Oh, thanks. Can you help us out?

Put some suture tape on that wound.

R-Right.

Are you absolutely sure the Zeon ship has stopped firing?

Yes, sir!

Good. You can return to the ship now.

There you are, Captain!

Captain...

All our capable personnel were killed during that Zeon ship's attack.

How are things on your end?

Every soldier and engineer on Side 7 has been killed.

All thanks to those two Zakus.

Less than ten of our wounded are in fighting shape.

Load all of the Gundam components at once.

Yes, Captain.

Luckily, one of our pilots was able to get the Gundam operational.

He's currently loading the Guncannon and Guntank on board.

Who is it?

I can't say, sir.

Once he's finished, launch the White Base and get us out of Side 7.

Yes, sir!

But who will pilot the White Base?

The computer can at least take us out of port.

But sir...

Excuse me.

I'm only licensed for cruiser-class space gliders,

but could I possibly be of any help to you?

And you are?

Mirai Yashima.

Is that so?

As in the Yashima family?

I was hoping to celebrate the successful completion of your mission last night!

But since you wasted so much time, my dinner plans were ruined!

I was busy discovering the Federation Forces' V Project, Vice Admiral Dozle.

What? The V Project?

Yes, sir.

They've developed mobile suits,

as well as a new class of battleship that we came across.

Char, the Red Comet, strikes again!

Well, is that all?

Since we're on our way back to port, we need to have our missiles reloaded.

You need resupplying? Not a problem.

Thank you, sir.

I'm also going to need three more Zakus.

You're telling me you lost three Zakus?!

Yes, Vice Admiral.

Two were defeated by a single Federation mobile suit!

All right, you'll get your Zakus.

Just get me as much data on the V Project as possible.

I don't care what you have to do!

And capture that mobile suit too, if you can!

I'll do my best!

Ensign! Assemble a three-man strike team on the double!

We're not going to wait for the supply ship?

In war, you always need to stay two or three moves ahead of your enemy.

Slender managed to get out of Side 7.

There's no reason we can't do the opposite.

What?

Who did you say the pilot was?

His name is Amuro, sir.

Never heard of him.

He could be one of Side 7's test pilots.

You can contact the Gundam via the left panel.

Yes, sir.

Tell the Gundam to cover the White Base when it leaves port.

What channel?

The one on the right-hand console.

How are things looking, Mirai?

I've gotten a hang of the navigational system, but the engine controls are...

Ryu will find someone to give you a hand.

You're on your own until he gets back.

You're Amuro?

What are you doing in the Gundam's cockpit?!

What's wrong?

It's a kid!

T-There's a kid in the Gundam!

What?!

That's Amuro?

See for yourself.

This boy is in the Gundam.

But he's not a pilot.

How is that possible?

How is a kid like him able to pilot the Gundam?

It's him!

Do you know him?

Not personally, but he's famous on Side 7 for being some kind of mechanical genius.

This boy defeated two Zeon Zakus?

Only because of the Gundam's abilities.

What do you think you're doing in there?!

That voice...

You're the guy that ordered me the get the Gundam components on board earlier!

I'll get him out of there, Captain.

If only one of our pilots had survived...

You take the residential block.

Okay, gotcha.

Hang in there, Chief.

What are you doing?

Captain's orders. We're looking for anyone that was left behind.

Is there anyone out there?

Beats me!

I was busy dodging the explosions and barely made it here in one piece!

Now then...

You comin'?

Why, you!

You call yourself a man?

You're just a coward!

What the hell is your problem?

I'd be happy to leave a guy like you here on Side 7!

Who died and made you queen?

Y-You're... Sayla, aren't you?

How dare you!

Don't speak to me like that, you little punk!

Fraw Bow!

Right!

Hey, you! Give me a hand here.

Fine.

Activate engines!

Set thrust to three percent!

Mega particle cannons, standby!

Target Side 7's space gate!

But avoid direct hits to the docking bay!

Not bad, Ensign.

Slender!

Sir!

It looks like we can get in through this maintenance hatch.

Good! Let's go!

It sounds like they're attacking again.

Captain, what should we do about Amuro?

Operator, where's the enemy?

One Musai-class to our rear, sir! Forty degrees port and closing!

Destroy any Gundam components we can't use.

Equip the Gundam with a beam rifle.

What?

He may be too young by traditional standards,

but this war has seen soldiers as young as fifteen or sixteen.

I'm counting on all of you!

Yes, Captain!

Amuro, do you read me?

Destroy any Gundam components left in Side 7!

What for? There's three suits left in there!

Do you want Zeon to get its hands on our secrets?

That's odd. The Musai is pulling back.

Pulling back?

Do you know what to do?

That super napalm stuff should do the trick.

Captain?

Amuro is right.

Let him do it.

The ship is about to launch!

Is there anybody out there?

I'm going over to Amuro's!

Be home in time for dinner!

If anyone's out there, please respond!

Are there any survivors?

Is anyone out there?

No survivors.

Freeze!

Drop it.

You're pretty brave.

You don't look like a soldier or a guerilla.

Move and I'll shoot!

She looks like...

Take off your helmet and turn around!

B-But she's too strong... to be Artesia!

Is that a Zeon?

Brother?

I'm going to use the super napalm.

Climb into my hand!

I have to destroy all the mobile suit parts down here!

Amuro, you're sure it was a Zeon soldier?

Yes!

Please lie down inside the hand!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Mr. Bright!

A Zeon soldier just snuck into the spaceport!

What did you say?

Close all the hatches on the White Base!

Give everyone a gun!

I don't care who!

Someone shoot the Zeon soldier approaching the bow!

Hurry!

Recon team, get out of here at once!

Prepare for launch!

Damn!

Commander!

The enemy is coming out!

All right!

I'll shoot... I'll shoot...

I'll shoot!

C-Commander!

Wait! One wrong move and you're done for!

He can't aim at a target as small as us.

Musai, do you copy?

It's me!

This is the Musai.

We read you, Commander.

The enemy is coming out!

Fully equip my and Slender's Zakus and send them out on a laser line!

Roger!

Prepare to launch the Zakus!

Course bearing RD-23 point 5!

Gate sensor, 360 degrees.

All roger.

Your shoulders are too tense.

Just relax and let the computer handle it.

Right.

Amuro, in the Gundam!

Yes, sir?

You're too far from the White Base.

Stay within ten kilometers to starboard.

Roger.

Confirm that every block is sealed off!

Can you do that?

Yes, sir.

Operator, the navigator is a rookie.

Help her out as best you can.

We'll try, sir.

I'm counting on you.

The right-hand gauge is the engine output.

Got it.

Don't let it slip into the red zone.

Okay.

Can you check on the internal missile storage?

Yeah. It's this one, right?

You catch on pretty quick.

All blocks, stand by to counterattack!

Now leaving the docking bay.

Main engine, power climbing to maximum!

Hard to starboard!

Bright, the Core Fighter is ready to launch!

Are you sure, Ryu?

I'm a pilot trainee!

That's better than being a rookie.

How much experience do you have?

Two simulations!

Then he's no better than Amuro...

Strong heat sources approaching!

Missiles?

Large missile types!

Evasive maneuvers! Twelve degrees starboard, minus eight degrees!

Mirai!

Yes, sir!

You're too slow!

I'm tracking them!

I'll try to get them!

Do your best.

I'm launching!

I can get 'em!

C'mon, hit!

There are still two objects approaching!

What are they?

They appear to be mobile suits!

Zakus?

But Mr. Bright, I've never seen a Zaku move this fast!

It's approaching at three times the normal speed!

I-It's Char!

The Red Comet!

What did you say, Captain?

Char, the Red Comet?

Char singlehandedly took out five of our ships at the Battle of Loum!

Get us out of here!

I want to witness the abilities of that Federation mobile suit myself!

I can get him!

Shooting a Zaku is different from shooting people!

I can do this!

Stop, Amuro! You can't take him!

Yes I can!

I won't let you!

I got him!

Impossible!

That was a direct hit!

So this is a real battle...

Here he comes!

It's fast!

Look at that mobility!

Slender, are you here yet?

Get behind the enemy mobile suit!

But Commander, what kind of weapon is that?

I've never seen a gun like that before!

It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't hit you.

Now cover me!

The Core Fighter will cover you!

You're wasting the beam rifle's energy!

You don't have to tell me that!

He's behind you! Pull up!

It's the Core Fighter!

Damn you!

Slender!

With just one shot?

He took him out with just one shot?!

I don't believe this!

That mobile suit's rifle is as powerful as a battleship's beam cannon!

I took out a Zaku with just one shot...

How dare you!

Is that their new fighter?

The beam energy is...

I... I drained it!

That thing's firepower... it's too strong!

The Gundam has docked.

Once they've safely docked, tell Amuro and Ryu to report to the bridge.

Yes, sir.

The White Base will head straight for Luna II.

All hands, remain at your stations.

We'll rotate shifts so you can all get some rest.

Here they are.

Bright, what's the enemy's status?

They haven't moved.

But knowing Char, he'll probably come after us again.

Amuro!

You relied too much on the Gundam's power.

You'll have to be more efficient in battle.

W-What?

Grow up!

As long as you can pilot the Gundam, it's your responsibility!

It's now your duty to protect this ship!

W-What did you say?

You might not like it, but that's the situation we're in.

If you've got a problem with that, you can go back to Side 7 right now.

Mr. Bright!

I don't know if I can do it, but I have to try.

But you're just...

Feel free to hate me.

Now go help with the Gundam's maintenance!

Use anyone you need.

It's your responsibility now, Amuro!

Luna II.

An asteroid that was converted to transport building materials for the space colonies.

It is now the frontline base of the Federation Forces.

Char's Musai is resupplied.

The Core Fighter seizes the opportunity and attacks along with the Gundam.

Nevertheless, Char is a Zeon soldier.

The warriors' screams roar across space!

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "Attack the Enemy Supply Ship!"

Can you survive?

Next Time

Attack the Enemy Supply Ship!
