Original subtitles

The Principality of Zeon is ruled by the Zabi family, who try to impose a dictatorship on all mankind.

It is an enormous space city-state floating beyond the Moon.

When the war began, Sovereign Degwin Zabi yielded all power to his eldest son, Gihren Zabi.

Faced with the superior preparation of the Zeon Forces

the Earth Federation was at a loss as to how to defend their population.

Thanks to the efforts of its young crew, the White Base evades Zeon's attack on Size 7 and returns to Earth.

After defeating the youngest son of the Zabi family, Garma Zabi,

they are currently making their way across the Pacific Ocean.

The Threat of Zeon

The Threat of Zeon!

I will return home within the next two months.

But before I do, Father, you can expect a military triumph from me.

I don't want people to laugh at me for being made an admiral simply because I'm your son.

Well, I look forward to seeing you very soon.

You're still here?

I understand how you feel,

but you still have duties to fulfill as the sovereign.

I know that!

Zabi! Zabi! Zabi! Zabi!

So, what's so interesting?

Sir, we seem to have picked up an unfamiliar ship.

Let me see.

I think it's the Trojan Horse.

Does that mean this is our chance to avenge Captain Garma?

Not so fast, Hamon.

Where they are is pretty far from our base.

We'll have to calculate our cruising range.

It's no problem for the Zanzibar,

but our escorts are only re-entry capsules.

True.

So we're just going to let them go?

My mission is to avenge Captain Garma.

And you don't take direct orders from Vice Admiral Dozle lightly.

But we're in the middle of re-entering the atmosphere.

Try to be careful.

I thought you hated men who let opportunities slip away.

I'm coming in, Amuro!

More repairs?

Yeah.

Amuro, you don't look so good! Amuro!

You think so?

What's that?

The Gundam's auxilary computer.

Amuro, eat before it gets cold, okay?

Okay.

Amuro, brain wave levels falling! Brain wave levels!

I'm fine, Haro.

Haro, don't disturb him.

Come on.

Bye! I'll be back for the dishes soon.

I'd better eat!

The number three nozzle on the main engine is showing a two percent loss in thrust.

What does that measure mean in actual terms?

About 40 tons.

Why was it left running like that?

There was no time to do maintenance and we had to keep using it.

This isn't a playground! Get out!

Mr. Bright!

We're not playing!

We're not playing...

Check the number three nozzle.

I'm going to take a break, okay, Mirai?

Huh? Okay.

I'm sorry.

Carry on with your cleaning.

Thanks.

Come in.

What is it?

Nothing.

I think I know what you're going to say.

I knew you would.

You've become the center of attention now that everyone's counting on you.

I seriously doubt that.

What is it?

It's Zeon.

They look like re-entry capsules, but they seem much larger.

I'll be right there.

What has been done about Char?

I believe he's gone back home.

Right, Dozle?

I see.

Yes ma'am, right away!

Block six has been hit!

Can't we outrun them?

That's impossible!

The enemy is closing in at re-entry speed, and the engine is...

All right, head into that cloud on the starboard side.

Are you sure you want to fly the ship into the middle of a thunderstorm?

I'm sure.

We'll lose half the firepower from the beam cannons, but we have no choice!

Roger!

W-What was that flash just now?

It must be Zeon's new weapon!

Don't worry.

Whatever new weapons they send, the Gundam will save us!

Lieutenant!

The Federation is using some kind of new weapon!

Don't panic!

They call this "lightning" here on Earth!

Darling!

I've seen this before when I came to Earth.

There's nothing to worry about, Hamon.

Although it is rather frightening when seen from this close.

Right.

Now that we know about this "lightning," we can focus on pursuing the Trojan Horse.

The portside main engine is losing power!

The thrust just started falling!

The timing couldn't be worse.

How's the ECM?

We're transmitting at full capacity.

Mirai, shake them off and find somewhere to land.

We're just wasting Minovsky particles now.

Can you do it?

I'll try.

Forward infrared observation monitor, open.

Begin laser sensor terrain scan.

Over there!

Confirm the direction and angle of descent!

Can you do it, Mirai?

Yes, sir!

The White Base's speed is zero.

Good! You did well, Mirai.

Gundam, Guncannon and Guntank, prepare to launch!

Open anti-air guns!

Amuro! I didn't think you'd still be in here!

Hey, Amuro!

Amuro! Amuro!

Pull yourself together! We have to launch!

Ryu.

Spacing out won't do you any good!

Ryu.

Get up, damn it!

Get up!

All right already!

You didn't have to hit me.

The Trojan Horse has completely disappeared.

They're out of range for the laser search net.

They won't leave this storm.

Keep searching for them and stay airborne as long as we can!

Yes, sir!

Rotate the infrared camera 180 degrees.

I'm not picking up anything on the ultrasound.

There are a lot of islands around this area, right?

Yes, sir!

How inconvenient.

If the radar were working, we could be looking for them right now.

You can stop that.

I can do it myself.

Are you sure?

Yes.

He can't do it.

This helmet feels strange.

It's suffocating.

Just keep on going.

Are you positive?

Yes, sir.

The magnetic reading is too strong.

Send out an FW flare.

Lieutenant Ramba Ral, we've just spotted a flare bearing seven o'clock to the rear!

Are you sure it wasn't lightning?

Yes, sir.

Good! Make a hard turn!

Enemy aircraft approaching!

Deploy the main cannons!

Gundam, Guncannon, prepare to launch!

Fire missiles even if you can't see anything at all!

So that's the Trojan Horse I've heard so much about.

Gather as much data as possible.

Attack!

I like seeing you prepare for battle

rather than seeing you sit at your command post.

Me too. I think it suits me.

So long.

Don't let anyone interfere!

Okay.

Acous, Cozun! Are you ready?

Yes, Lieutenant!

Preparations are okay!

Acous, Cozun! This is our first battle on Earth.

If the enemy mobile suit appears, don't stray too far from our ship!

Roger!

I'm off, Hamon!

I'll await your triumph.

Relax, Hamon!

I'm sorry, but it looks like we can't stay airborne over our current location.

Thank you.

Head back to base.

We'll be following you very soon.

Roger.

We wish you success.

What's going on?

Bright, the Komusais are breaking off.

They're probably low on fuel.

This is our chance to make a move.

Gundam, Guncannon, what's the hold up?

Zakus have landed on the ground!

Amuro's got battle fatigue like a rookie!

What'd you say?

Tell Amuro to launch!

He has to protect us from those Zakus.

Drastic times call for drastic measures!

Amuro, it's time to launch!

Amuro! Let's go!

We're launching!

Amuro! Take off!

You got it?

Do you read me, Amuro?

The catapult has been connected and we're ready for launch.

O-Okay, Sayla.

I didn't get your reply!

I'm ready. I'm launching, right?

Never mind, Sayla!

Just launch the Gundam!

Roger!

Snap out of it, Amuro!

What was that?

A Zaku?

It can't be!

That's not a Zaku...

It's a new type of mobile suit!

That's a new Zeon mobile suit!

Ryu, Kai! Cover Amuro!

All machine gun turrets on the White Base, provide cover fire immediately!

All right, here I come!

Hold your fire!

Oh, no!

Acous, throw the cracker!

What's that?

Damn you!

What is this thing?

Let's see if you can withstand the heat rod!

That's a good pilot inside that mobile suit.

Why wasn't he blown apart by his own bazooka shells?

Lieutenant Ral, look to your right!

What?

There's another one!

Is that thing supposed to be a mobile suit too?

Hurry up, Hayato!

Give him some cover fire!

I'm worried about Amuro!

Acous, Cozun! Deal with the other two mobile suits!

I'll handle the white one!

I'll show you!

I'll show you! I don't care if you have a new mobile suit!

Amuro, don't get too close!

His weapons!

Well done!

This is no Zaku!

No Zaku!

That thing's completely different!

It has more armor and more power than a Zaku!

Get up, Amuro!

Acous, Cozun! Retreat!

Go back to the ship!

Roger!

They're secured!

Lock them up quickly!

Attention bridge, blind them with the giant floodlights.

Withdraw from the battlefield!

What's that?

They ran away.

Or maybe they let us go, for now.

We have lost a hero, but does this mean we are finished?

No! It is a new beginning!

Compared to the Earth Federation, the national resources of Zeon are less than one thirtieth of theirs.

Despite this major difference, how is it that we've been able to fight them for so long?

My friends, it is because the Principality of Zeon's goal is a righteous one!

Those Zeon bastards.

It was clever of them to broadcast this live all over the world.

Amuro, pay attention to this!

Yes, sir!

For 50 years, a handful of elite have extended the Earth Federation's control out to space.

I will never forget how the Federation crushed our dreams for the freedom to live in space!

The Principality of Zeon has continued to fight for the sacred and divine cause

of achieving freedom for all of our citizens!

My beloved younger brother, Garma Zabi, is dead.

Why?!

Because he was a spoiled brat.

This war is at a stalemate.

The reality, my friends, is that we have let them off the hook.

Bartender!

But that is a sinful mistake.

Here, let me get that.

If that's all right with you.

The Earth Federation has polluted our precious Earth for their own greed.

You're one of the royal guards, aren't you?

How'd you know?

It's the smell.

You're one of Kycilia's.

I'm impressed, Commander.

We must send a message to the Earth Federation elite.

Garma's death has brought forth a new, optimistic thinking!

The war has just begun!

Amuro, are you all right?

Sorry I had you worried. I'm fine.

Hang in there, okay?

Thank you.

We are continually increasing our armaments,

and I doubt the Earth Federation will be prepared for us!

Many of you have lost fathers and brothers to the Federation's senseless resistance!

Keep that sadness and hatred alive within you!

That is what Garma died to show us!

If we gather this hatred we share

and use to strike down the Federation, then true victory will be within our grasp!

And that victory will be the ultimate vindication to all of those who have died in this conflict!

Stand, my people!

Take your sorrow and turn it into anger!

Rise, my people!

Zeon thirsts for the strength of its people!

Sieg Zeon!

Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!

This is our enemy?

That's garbage!

He's trying to turn the Zabi family into a world dictatorship!

Dictatorship?

Amuro's home is a place where enemies and allies struggle.

People are overcome by despair.

An encounter with his mother is only met with misfortune.

The reunion with his mother does not being Amuro peace of mind.

Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam, "'Til We Meet Again, Mom..."

Next Time

'Til We Meet Again, Mom...

Can you survive?
