The Earth Federation Forces' Third Fleet staged a full-fledged attack on the space fortress Solomon,

and succeeded in breaking into it using the Solar Ray System.

Be Afraid! The Mobile Big Zam

Be Afraid! The Mobile Big Zam!

He got me!

I can't believe I was so careless!

Sleggar's G-Fighter is returning!

He's been hit on the portside engine!

Sleggar, do you read me?

Please respond!

I read you!

I'm touching down on Deck 3!

What is it, Ensign?

Nothing, sir.

Our starboard missile barrage is too light!

Pour it on!

Fraw Bow! Call Chief Vammas up here from the sub-bridge!

Ensign Mirai.

I know private conversations are forbidden during battle, but...

You're being very distant, Mirai.

I can be the man who takes care of you.

Bright!

I know how you feel about him, but I'm prepared to wait.

Yes, sir?

Ensign Mirai is feeling a little sick.

Will you relieve her for a while?

Yes, sir!

Taking the controls.

Bright...

Anti-aircraft guns, objects approaching from portside!

Do you see them?!

Hurry!

After the fire's out, we'll deal with the portside engine!

Howard!

I need you to replace the outer armor and the fuel pump to the number two engine.

I'm pretty sure there's a leak.

Okay, I'll get on it.

After that, fill it up with fuel and ammunition.

Make it snappy.

It'll take us fifteen minutes, sir.

You've got ten!

I've got to get refueled myself.

Hurry up!

We have to do this in ten minutes!

Howard!

Where's Lieutenant Sleggar?

He was headed for the ready room.

I see. Thanks.

Lieutenant...

You aren't hurt.

What are you doing here, Ensign?

Thank goodness.

Let's stop it right here, Ensign.

It won't work.

Lieutenant Sleggar!

Prepare to launch!

On my way!

See you later.

Lieutenant!

Please don't die out there.

Ensign Mirai, people go through a lot of things when they're young.

Maybe you shouldn't take these feelings you have seriously.

What do you mean?

Oh, never mind.

Lieutenant!

I'm not the sort of man who could accept what you have to give.

Sleggar!

You're just...

A star that shines too bright for me.

We live in different worlds.

But...

This isn't much.

It's a keepsake from my mom.

I wouldn't want it to get lost in space.

Would you take care of it for me?

Thanks.

Take care of that ring, Ensign!

Lieutenant...

At Granada, Kycilia's base to the south of the Ural Mountains,

a fleet is about to launch in an attempt to rescue Solomon.

The fleet was hastily assembled and assigned to Commander M'quve.

Impressive!

They still have a lot of defense forces inside the base!

Bastard!

Watch out!

It's a new weapon! It's enormous!

What?

What kind of machine is it?

Hold on!

It seems there's only one new model!

The rest are Rick Doms and Zakus!

Let's get them!

Hold on!

We don't know how strong that thing is!

Those measly insects are coming this way.

We'll show them that the Big Zam is different from other mobile armors and mobile suits!

Yes, sir!

Stop hiding and show yourself!

T-The beams!

It's a monster!

A monster?

I'll check it out!

Admiral, this is the control room.

What is it?

Where are you, Admiral?

Once the enemy mobile suits infiltrate the base, I'll launch in the Big Zam.

But our remaining fleets are about to take off!

There's no need for you to fight in person, Admiral!

You don't get it.

We've reached the point where we have to use all the battle strength we've got!

Zenna.

Mineva.

Did the two of you make it to safety?

It's one of our escape rockets.

What's its course?

It appears to have been launched from Solomon, sir.

Override the controls and bring it in.

Captain, the battle at Solomon seems rather desperate.

Sir?

We don't have time to be rescuing escape rockets.

I beg your pardon, sir,

but it seems you don't understand the feelings of soldiers in space.

I don't?

Soldiers can fight in space, even risking their own lives,

because they believe their comrades will come and rescue them.

If we don't rescue them now, they'll drift outside our range.

I understand.

Recover the rocket.

Yes, sir!

Mineva.

That's an allied fleet!

We're rescued!

I'm pleased with this thing's power,

but at this rate, the enemy will destroy our base!

Control room!

Yes, Admiral?

How many vessels do we have left?

We estimate that the enemy's new weapon and mobile suits have immobilized three quarters of our vessels.

All right!

Order our remaining forces to charge through the heart of the enemy fleet!

Yes, sir!

I myself will lead the remaining Rick Doms and Zakus out of Solomon!

Yes, sir!

Good luck, Admiral!

And the same to you.

We've confirmed an enemy fleet leaving Granada.

Do we have the enough forces to handle them?

Yes, sir.

However, the remaining enemy fleet has launched from the other side of Solomon.

Can we wipe them out with what's left of the Solar System?

There's a 60 percent chance.

Let's give it a try.

Coordinates to focus light, 0635!

Making minor adjustment to the Y axis!

004! 002!

After we fire the Solar System,

all vessels will launch and wipe out what's left of the enemy!

Maximum combat speed!

Forget the ships we passed by!

Others are right in front of us!

We'll blast right through them!

Who's next?

I've really got to hand it to myself.

Whoa!

I'm too late!

What in the world could have disintegrated these mobile suits?

Over there!

What's that?!

What's that?!

More vessels are confirmed to be leaving Solomon!

They're focusing the Solar System once again!

What?

The Solar System is still operating?

Our remaining ships are charging the main enemy fleet!

Excellent!

What's the Big Zam's target?

Aim for the command ships hanging to the rear!

Ignore the cannon fodder!

Sayla's plane has been hit!

Bringing her in on Deck 3!

Hurry!

Once we've secured her plane,

we'll pursue the large mobile armor that just launched from Solomon!

Mirai.

Thanks, Lieutenant.

I'm all right now.

That's good.

Vammas, return to the sub-bridge.

Yes, sir.

Bring the ship about 180 degrees!

Quickly, Mirai!

Yes, sir!

Salamis ahead!

Forget it! Fire the forward beam cannon!

I knew it!

That's not just a large-scale mobile armor!

I just saw that thing deflect the beams!

That means only missiles will work.

If we don't stop that thing, we'll only suffer more casualties!

Have the Big Zam attack the main fleet!

But before we do, launch the flare to signal the evacuation.

Yes, sir! But...

Our forces are too scattered.

I don't like it, but we have to abandon Solomon.

Transfer the controls over to my station.

You two can go ahead and escape.

But, Admiral!

Don't throw your lives away!

We still have Doms and Zakus.

Signal them, and they can tow you out of the battle zone!

Yes, sir.

All right! Fire the signal flare!

I'm taking control of the Big Zam!

To think Solomon would fall so easily.

The Gundam!

It would've been rude to do them in like that.

They're not taking me seriously!

The Big Zam is impervious to long-range beam bombardments!

I'll take as many of you as I can down to Hell with me!

The large mobile suit is emitting a powerful magnetic field, sir.

Missiles! Fire back with missiles!

It's unstoppable!

Do you see?!

When we mass-produce the Big Zam, the Federation will be wiped out in no time flat!

Lieutenant Sleggar!

You want to dock and then slam into it with the G-Armor?

Let's do it, Chief Petty Officer Amuro!

Right.

But Lieutenant, what's your plan?

I wouldn't call it a "plan."

We'll move in past that magnetic field, and then try our beam weapons at point-blank range.

Right.

If the beam cannons don't work, use the Gundam's beam rifle,

and then the beam saber.

That way, it's like we have three weapons in one.

We'll probably get roughed up pretty badly.

Lieutenant Sleggar!

Keep your feelings to yourself!

I can't let that thing continue on a killing spree.

It sucks, but this is war!

Amuro!

We'll attack from below!

From below?!

Air defenses, fire!

It's not over yet!

Damn pests!

Lieutenant!

You want a piece of me?!

Damn you!

The Big Zam won't be beaten...

...by just one mobile suit!

You won't defeat me!

I won't let you defeat me!

You will not defeat me!

For the glory of Zeon and my own pride, you will not defeat me!

You will not defeat me!

Who is that?

What's that?

Solomon has fallen?

Yes, sir.

Captain, please take Lady Zenna to Granada aboard this Gwazine.

I'll head out aboard the Chivvay.

I'd like to keep a watchful eye on the Federation Forces' next move.

Yes, sir.

We've missed our chance to stage a surprise attack.

So it would seem.

Had Solomon held out till we arrived, we would have been able to put your strategies to good use.

I'll leave a few vessels behind to collect intelligence and rescue any survivors.

Very well.

I'll stay behind and assist you.

You're lying!

Just tell me you're lying, Amuro!

Char prepares himself for the next battle,

unaware that Amuro and M'quve

are continuing their duel on an uninhabited wasteland.

As she observes the battle, young Lalah has visions of her destiny calling for her.

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "The Duel in Texas."

Next Time

The Duel in Texas

Can you survive?
