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.

Attack the Enemy Supply Ship!

Attack the Enemy Supply Ship!

Luna II.

An asteroid that was brought into lunar orbit to transport building materials for the space colonies.

Once you get in contact with Luna II,

put in a request to enter port under my name.

Commandant Wakkein will tell you what to do from there.

Please get some rest.

You're not well.

No, I'm fine.

Here's some canned food!

How many people are in here?

There are seven of us.

Excuse me, but I asked for some milk earlier.

Here you go!

How much longer until we get to Luna II?

It should take about an hour.

Excuse me, but when will we be fed?

It's on its way.

Sayla!

Where did you live before you moved to Side 7?

Do I have to answer?

Not really.

On Earth.

This is my first time...

In space.

One of the elite, huh?

Is that a joke?

This is no time for weakness, Mr. Bright.

Want me to take over?

I just need to watch the gauge, right?

Thanks.

Just watch it until we dock.

Right.

He's still on our tail.

It's only a matter of time.

Time?

Until Char attacks.

A Papua supply ship?

You're sending an ancient ship like that to resupply us?

Try to consider your situation!

But, sir!

We don't have as many resources to spare as we used to!

I sent you two Zakus, Char.

Obtain the Federation's secret project, even if it costs you the Musai!

Sir!

I asked for three Zakus.

We still don't know the full extent of that enemy mobile suit's abilities!

Amuro! Amuro!

Where are you?

He's in the Gundam's cockpit, Fraw Bow!

Again?

Amuro!

I brought you some food and a change of clothes.

If you don't change your clothes, you'll start to smell.

Yeah.

You already missed two meals, Amuro.

You have to eat something.

I'm not hungry.

I thought you didn't like that Bright was making you do this?

That has nothing to do with it.

I'm doing this because I don't want to die.

Oh yeah?

Well, aren't I?

I wonder why Char's Musai still hasn't attacked.

They probably don't know enough about the White Base's capabilities.

Or maybe it's because they're out of weapons.

Yeah.

However...

However?

Maybe that's what they want us to think.

There's another ship approaching Char's Musai!

Reinforcements?

I don't know.

They're set to arrive in fifteen minutes.

Then Mirai's guess was right?

We can't afford to be careless.

What if it's a cruiser?

If Char's Musai hasn't had its weapons resupplied yet,

we should attack them along with Amuro.

So you're saying we should launch an attack?

Do you think we can protect ourselves if Char launches another attack, Bright?

We don't have a single experienced soldier.

Operator, how long will it take the enemy to transfer supplies?

If it's just weapons, it'll take ten minutes.

So we have twenty-five minutes.

Why don't you ask the Captain?

I'd like it if you didn't use that tone.

Hayato, what's your opinion?

Sir, no matter how strong your opponent is,

you can beat him if you grab his waist and knock him off balance.

At least that's how it is in Judo.

Mirai, have everyone report to the bridge!

Emergency alert! Emergency alert!

Anyone who is able to fight, report to the bridge!

Age is not an issue!

Everyone other than engine room personnel,

report to the bridge!

Let's go!

Yeah!

Stay in the room, Kikka!

But they said everyone!

I'll wash these for you.

Okay.

We don't have time to get everyone's opinion.

We'll take a majority vote to decide.

First of all, we've got a fifty-fifty chance of pulling this off.

All in favor of making a run for the Luna II base, raise your hand.

Five.

This also has a fifty-fifty chance.

All in favor of launching an attack?

We should fight!

Yeah, we should fight!

All right, that settles it.

We'll attack.

Amuro in the Gundam.

Ryu in the Core Fighter.

If the situation calls for it, we'll send out the Guntank too.

Beam cannons, stand by!

White Base, rotate 180 degrees!

Catapult connection, complete.

Ryu, the Core Fighter is clear for launch.

Thrust at 60!

70!

85!

120!

Launching!

The Core Fighter has taken off.

Amuro, the catapult is ready for the Gundam.

Do you know what to do?

I'm working on it!

I'll try my best!

It's just like in the manual.

Catapult equipment, check.

Gundam main power, normal.

I'm heading out!

Proceed ten kilometers and then descend to approach the enemy from behind the ridge.

Got it?

Roger!

Roger!

Put lateral beam cannons on standby at once!

Standing by for attack!

Energy pipe is connected!

All cannon lifts, okay!

Commence ammunition loading!

We'll enter the enemy's range in eight minutes!

Until then, go over your manuals!

In any case, we'll provide cover fire!

But make sure you don't hit the Gundam or the Core Fighter!

Why is such an old ship still in service?

Ensign Dren.

Yes, sir?

Open a video link with them.

Sir!

So the Red Comet needs to be resupplied, huh?

How badly did you screw up this time?

Gadem, the enemy is right in front of us!

There's no time to lose!

I know.

Do you think I'm getting slow?

I may be old, but I'm still quick.

Open the hatches!

Connect all conveyor pipes now!

Preparing to receive the conveyor pipes!

Isn't Ryu a trained soldier?

Why shouldn't we rise?

The enemy is right in front of us!

If we attack from this direction, they won't see us coming because the light will be shining at our backs!

We have to go around!

Where's the Musai?

We should be able to see it by now.

I see it!

For a rookie, Amuro's pretty sharp.

So that's why he wanted to attack with the Sun at our backs.

All right, let's go!

Conveyor pipe connection, complete!

Beginning ammunition transfer!

There's something fishy about this, Char.

Even though we're close to the enemy's frontline base, we're on the opposite side.

Don't you think the Minovsky particle density is too high?

I agree, Gadem.

Could there be an enemy ship nearby?

It's possible.

All right!

I've got you now, Char!

There's a missile approaching from the rear!

What?

Impact in three seconds!

Three!

Two!

One!

They destroyed the conveyor pipe!

Detach us from the Musai!

Second missile, incoming!

Seven!

Six!

Gadem! Release those Zakus you brought me!

Right! I'll do what I can!

Two!

One!

We have to get Char his Zakus!

Matthew! Fix!

Prepare to board your Zakus outside the ship!

I'll get my mobile suit and lead the attack!

Launch all missiles in a horizontal line!

Dren, cover the Papua!

We're being attacked by mobile suits, not a battleship.

Roger!

Rotate 180 degrees immediately!

Reverse the ship and fire all missiles in the remaining block directly at the Sun!

How long will it take to charge the mega cannons?

Five minutes and twenty seconds, sir!

That's too long!

We've drained too much of the main engine's power!

Third missile incoming!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

That was too close!

I won't let you destroy it!

That mobile suit came from the other side?

Enemy fighter approaching from port-stern!

Intercept it!

Descend!

Launch the supplies towards Luna II!

Char!

A mobile suit's abilities don't decide a battle's outcome!

Allow me to show you!

Damn you, Char!

Got him!

Damn! The bazooka's ammo!

He's behind me!

Too slow!

Commander Char!

The enemy's new Trojan Horse battleship is attacking!

What?

Do whatever it takes to hold out until I can get back there!

I won't let you destroy the ship!

I promised Bright...

that I'd lure Char away from the ship!

Damn it, Ryu!

How am I supposed to fire the main guns when he's in the way?

Hayato, send him this message:

"Ryu, get out of my way!"

R-Right!

But how do I contact the bridge?

Hurry!

Decrease our altitude and rotate 170 degrees!

Aim the main cannons at the enemy battleship!

Yes, sir!

Why isn't the Musai attacking?

Well, they can't use their mega cannons while being resupplied.

They're probably out of missiles, too.

Altitude, 300!

The Musai is descending to port!

Relative speed, point 23 kilometers!

Contact in 5 point 2 seconds!

Mr. Bright, I have a request.

What is it?

Kai can't aim the cannons at the Musai because the Core Fighter keeps getting in the way.

Roger!

Ryu, come in!

Ryu!

What is it?

That bastard turned off his radio!

So we can't attack them?

Damn you, rookie pilot! Here I come!

What?

You're too weak.

S-Stop it!

Is that Federation mobile suit some kind of monster?

Nothing can withstand that many attacks!

Commander Char, please return to the ship!

The Musai's mega cannon is down!

What about the Zakus?

Have you received them yet?

The Papua's catapult was destroyed.

The Zakus are still on board.

We need those Zakus, even if that's all we get!

I'm on my way!

Hold on until I get back!

Char!

Mr. Bright, Kai says he has a special license to operate large vehicles!

What?

His dad is an engineer.

Understood.

He has a special license?

Yes, sir!

Don't we have that mobile suit tank?

It takes two men to operate it.

It works just like this ship's guns, right?

If I can shoot those, then I can shoot with that thing!

You want to engage the enemy with the Guntank?

Yes, sir!

It'll work because they're distracted by the White Base!

We can do it!

I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir!

What the hell is taking so long?!

At this rate, the Musai will be destroyed!

Y-Yes, Captain!

What about the unloading of the Zakus?

The catapult isn't working!

You idiots!

Then use your hands!

Damn!

Energy charging, complete.

We're ready to fire!

Okay!

Prepare to fire the mega particle cannons!

Kai! Hayato!

What's the status on the Guntank?!

Fire!

Fire at once!

Stay calm, Mr. Bright!

The Guntank is launching from the White Base right now!

Land speed, 12 point 5 meters.

Ten meters now.

Kai Shiden, do you read me?

Three seconds to launch.

Are you ready?

Ready or not, I don't have much of a choice, do I?

Any second now.

Um, Sayla?

This is no time for small talk!

The White Base is touching down.

You are clear to launch!

Hurry up, Kai!

The enemy's just above that mountain!

Quit yelling at me!

We're better off just making a run for it!

Hayato, let's hurry up and just get this over with!

We've got another fifty meters to go!

Then we'll be in firing range!

What if they shoot missiles at us?

I don't think they can while they're resupplying.

But what if they do?!

I don't know!

Ten meters to go!

Fire!

I'll make sure that Char gets his Zakus, missiles, and all the supplies!

The honor of the Supply Corps depends on it!

Musai, here's your Zakus! Take them!

Matthew! Fix!

Get in your Zakus!

I won't let you!

Damn you, Red Comet!

Gadem, where are our supplies?

Just about everything should have been released.

You can pick it all up after you defeat the enemy!

So, that's it?

The Federation mobile suit I've heard so much about!

Calm down, Gadem!

Don't stop me!

They destroyed my ship!

My Zaku and I have been through many battles together!

I'll show you how to defeat this Federation mobile suit with just one strike!

He doesn't have any weapons?

Don't do it, Gadem!

Your Zaku can't handle him!

There's no way an amateur like you can beat me!

How the hell did the Federation develop a mobile suit that's this powerful?

G-Gadem!

Retreat, Amuro!

Retreat!

The supply ship has been destroyed!

Retreat at once!

But...

You're out of weapons!

How will you fight Char?

Char.

Roger!

The enemy mobile suit is...

The Papua was destroyed and Gadem is dead.

How did this happen?

That ship and that mobile suit...

The Federation's new weapons have dealt us a fatal blow.

I know that much is true.

But what the hell just happened?

Their battle tactics are pathetic.

It's like they're a bunch of amateurs!

Commander!

This is Matthew and Fix in the Zakus.

Should we pursue the enemy, sir?

I want you to provide cover while the supplies are loaded!

Yes, sir!

We'll provide cover.

What the hell is going on?

Well, that was easy enough.

Don't say that!

It was Amuro who lured Char away so you could attack in the Guntank!

What do you think of that, Hayato?

I think he's right.

You wimp.

Sorry about that, Bright.

I had my radio turned off.

Yeah, be careful next time.

Remember your training.

And Amuro!

You try to flank the enemy too often!

No, that's not true!

Right?

Yeah!

Char's just too fast!

That's why they call Char the Red Comet.

You'll fight him again.

Start thinking about your strategy for next time.

Yes, sir.

All hands! Get some rest, but remain at level two battle stations!

Engines, maximum thrust.

Our course is clear for the Luna II frontline base.

I really want to punch that guy right about now, Ryu.

Fraw Bow!

I bet you guys are tired.

Have some tea.

All right, thanks!

Well done, Amuro! Well done, Amuro!

Thank you, Haro.

What the heck is that thing?

I built him.

His name is Haro.

Minefield, 25 kilometers to port.

Set course 3 point 2 to starboard!

Amuro and the rest of the crew are arrested by the Federation.

Meanwhile, a vengeful Char leads a stealth attack team to destroy the Gundam.

Will they have to fight their own allies to save the White Base from an attack?

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "Luna II Escape Operation."

Next Time

Luna II Escape Operation

Can you survive?
