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 Battlefield is a Wasteland

The Battlefield is a Wasteland!

W-We're going to crash!

Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello! Hello!

There's someone in the sub-bridge!

You're a boy, Cor.

Don't cry over something like this.

Look, that's the Earth!

This is the place where your father grew up.

Your father was a wonderful man, and he would have been proud of you, no matter what.

Do you think all mothers talk like that?

It's been a while since you've seen your mother, hasn't it, Amuro?

But...

Amuro! Bright is calling!

Okay, Haro.

This is reckless, Bright!

Increase our altitude!

Didn't you notice those planes up there?

If it were possible, I'd prefer to fly along the ground.

But the pilot can't even navigate the ship properly!

No, I can do it!

This is Bison!

It looks like the Trojan Horse is starting to cross the mountain range.

Don't let them cross over the mountains!

Once you rendezvous with the Magella Attack units, commence the attack!

Garma.

Why do you think the Trojan Horse is flying so low?

To evade our radar, I suppose.

That's not it.

They're setting up an interference field by using the terrain as a Minovsky Screen.

Like this.

This way, they'll maximize the effect of the Minovsky particles.

Then no matter how powerful our guided weapons are, we can't use them.

We'll ambush them.

We have the advantage.

And attack them in one stroke!

What's going on?

The Dopp formation is withdrawing.

I have an idea.

Right now, we're at the Grand Canyon.

This is the White Base's current location.

So the enemy is probably building up their forces here, at Lake Mead.

Yes, I agree.

We're in the least advantageous position.

Our fate depends on how the Gundam performs in battle.

Amuro, we're counting on you!

Yes, ma'am!

So I guess it doesn't matter what the rest of us do.

Kai!

Nope...

Fraw Bow, what do these people want?

Captain, these people would like to have a word with you.

The truth is, we want to be dropped off here.

Dropped off?

We're in the middle of a battle!

My husband's hometown, St. Anges, isn't too far from here.

Hometown?

How can you ask for such a thing while we're in this situation?

I realize it's an unreasonable request.

But I want my son to grow up in his father's hometown.

How dare you ask us to go out of our way for you!

Bright!

Lieutenant, I have an idea.

Idea?

Yes, sir.

We can propose a temporary ceasefire with Zeon and drop these people off.

What do you think, Char?

What do you make of this request for a ceasefire to drop off refugees?

I don't like it.

However...

We don't know what the enemy is planning, but this will at least buy us some time.

And then?

If we could mobilize our slower ground forces...

Then the likelihood of a victory increases.

Right!

He's still just a spoiled little kid.

And he's naive.

What are you breaking that for?

That's a waste!

Shut up!

I'm blowing a hole in it so we can trick them!

We will definitely win this one!

And if we don't win, he'll look like a fool.

There's no turning back now.

Are you sure?

I'm prepared for it.

I want to raise my son on Earth, no matter what.

You probably wouldn't understand my feelings.

That's because I've never lived on Earth.

Here they come.

Just as planned.

This is Big John.

We've located the White Base's transport plane.

Anything out of the ordinary?

There's a hole in the side of the craft that was probably caused by a shell.

Are they our escorts?

Hi!

Hey, don't do that!

Oh, are you jealous?

That's not it!

I'm just worried about our operation.

Captain! That kid is waving at us!

Water...

Was there always a large lake like that around here?

What's this lake?

This was definitely caused by a bombing run.

Where should we land?

Lake Mead is on the other side.

All right, that's where we'll drop them off.

They can live in those houses.

Good, let's land.

Right!

Commence the operation!

This will be over soon.

Hey, look at that! What's going on?

Hey, are you all right?

Looks like it's giving out.

It's all because of your attacks! We're landing!

Roger!

Come in, Bobson.

This is Big John.

It looks like our attacks have been successful.

That's unfortunate for them.

Continue your observation!

Roger!

I don't like this.

What about it?

One of their rotors isn't working!

I'm just thinking too much.

They're lowering their altitude.

Let's make this look like an emergency landing!

Okay?

Got it!

I could get used to more stuff like this!

Do you think we fooled them?

Four old men, two women and three children.

That makes nine total.

I guess there weren't any of them.

Any of who?

I figured they would hide soldiers and attack us.

We're observing them!

They couldn't possibly do that!

You're right.

We're going to live in those houses we saw earlier, for now.

How will you get to St. Anges?

It's not too far from here.

If St. Anges is gone, we'll come back to where you all are.

Goodbye.

Where are that mother and child going?

There's nothing in that direction.

Captain, look over there!

The pilots have escaped and are heading back to the White Base!

I'm following them!

We did it, Amuro!

They fell for it!

Look at that!

It's all good over here.

Let's make a detour.

You're worried about that mother and her child?

He's gonna get mad at us!

Captain Garma is too young.

He wouldn't understand how guys like us feel.

All right, let's go!

What's the matter, Ryu?

Those guys are coming back!

Where are they going?

Ryu, hurry and open the container!

All right, Amuro.

Go hide in the lake.

When we start the operation, you'll be behind the enemy.

H-Hey Amuro, where are you going?

Don't use the radio!

The enemy patrol is heading toward that mother and child!

Aren't you worried about them?

Amuro!

Did everything go smoothly?

I don't know.

We'll know how it went in fifteen minutes.

But Kai, are you confident that you can pull this off?

Yeah!

I got a good look at the battlefield's terrain.

We'll give it a try!

All right, begin launch preparations for the Guncannon and the Guntank!

Roger!

Darling! Please save Corey!

There!

I hope he didn't notice me!

What's that?

A glare.

Let's check it out.

Release the missile safety!

They spotted me!

Is that the Federation's mobile suit?

If only they didn't find me!

Ease up on the throttle lever!

Y-Yes, sir!

The transmission from Big John has been cut off!

What happened?

Forget about the patrol!

Commence the attack!

Can you lower the altitude a little bit, Sayla?

We can't.

If we fly any lower, the White Base won't be able to move.

Do your best, Kai.

I'll try, Sayla!

I landed!

They're shooting at me!

I can do this! I can do it!

Garue, do you see that?

There's a new mobile suit behind the Trojan Horse!

Cover me!

Ammo! I'm out of ammo!

So our rear line has its back to the lake while we're attacking the Trojan Horse?

Yes, sir!

The Blackjack on the left flank has moved another three kilometers!

Garma, tell the Blackjack with its rear to the lake

to move in front of the Trojan Horse.

Why?

It's only a matter of time before the Trojan Horse falls.

Hide a mobile suit in the transport plane that landed by the lake.

That's what I would have done.

Char.

We didn't inspect the interior of that transport plane!

There's a mobile suit located behind the left flank!

W-What?

I-Impossible!

A-Amuro!

It's the Gundam!

Amuro came from behind their lines, just as planned!

All right, concentrate all of the White Base's firepower toward the front!

All hands, wipe out the Magella Attack units in front of us!

It's no use! We're shooting our own troops!

Stop the attack!

I won't let you!

I wonder how the battle is going.

Who knows? There's no telling who will win.

No matter who wins or loses,

it just seems like more women will lose their husbands now.

Did you fall asleep, Corey?

Even with the Gundam, how can I hold off all these Zakus?

At least I can do that!

Kai!

It's a new mobile suit!

The last Zaku was destroyed!

Commander, please respond!

Commander!

The Magella Attack units have been wiped out!

There's not a single one left!

Retreat! Retreat!

This is going to look like it's my fault when I report to my sister!

You still have a chance to recover from this.

As our commander, your duty is to raise the morale of the troops on the front line.

Next time, I'll go with you.

I'm counting on you.

We have to go back to our unit now.

You should rest in the rescue capsule tonight.

Thank you very much.

Boy, be strong and protect your mother.

Goodbye.

Lady!

Y-Yes?

Until about a year ago, this place was a town called St. Anges.

I think it would be better if the two of you went back to your friends by the lake.

This place...

This place is...

St. Anges?

Corey!

Mommy...

Did that mother and her son make it to St. Anges?

Garma Zabi personally leads an attack against the White Base.

Amuro, tired from the bodily stress of piloting the Gundam,

finally engages in an aerial battle.

However, he has no idea what Char has up his sleeve.

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "Fly! Gundam!"

Next Time

Fly! Gundam

Can you survive?
