Original subtitles

Around the Earth float hundreds of gigantic space colonies.

For fifty years, mankind has made his home within their cylindrical walls.

Half of humanity are now space colonists.

The year is U.C. 0079.

The colonies of Side 3, have declared themselves the Principality of Zeon...

and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation.

The first month of fighting saw each side lose...

half of their respective populations.

All of mankind was horrified by the atrocities it committed.

Amuro Ray, a young pilot on the White Base...

the new Earth Federal Forces warship...

has grown into an experienced soldier through numerous battles.

And, as the war took a new turn, the White Base launched back into space.

But their bitter enemy, Char Aznable, was close behind.

Minovsky particle broadcast is at full combat density!

All hands, prepare for ship-to-ship combat!

Confirmed. One ship in pursuit!

Char's coming!

Char, the Red Comet?

No doubt about it. It's definitely him.

How do you know?

I... It's just...

Sayla! Stand by in the Core-Booster!

Aye, sir.

Ensign Mirai, accelerate towards point E-300, as planned.

Aye, sir. If we do that...

it should look like the White Base is headed for moon.

Do you suppose Sayla's a Newtype?

Do Newtypes have precognition as well?

Maybe not.

Mind if I tag along? We're both Core-Booster pilots, after all.

Well?

This is the Trojan Horse's projected course.

It looks like it's headed for the moon.

The moon?! They're going after Lady Kycilia's Granada Base?

Doubtful.

It's a trick. The Trojan Horse is a decoy.

Their main fleet is probably launching from Jaburo as we speak.

Then we should change course!

Are you serious? If we turn our backs...

the Trojan Horse will attack us.

Do we have any ships in this area?

The Camel Patrol Fleet should be nearby.

Can we contact them?

Aye, sir. I've been tracing their course.

- Hail them. - Aye, sir.

Lieutenant Dren! It's Captain Char on the Zanzibar!

Oh! Captain, it's been too long.

You're looking well, Dren. I need your help again.

If there's anything I can do, sir...

We're after the Trojan Horse. Your fleet's in position to cut them off.

You just can't get free of that thing, can you?

Combat alert 1!

Understood, sir. Can you catch up with them?

Who do you think you're talking to, Dren?

Sorry, sir.

Being back out in space seems to suit you.

Is that flattery?

Change course! Minus 110!

All units, confirm catapult launch track!

Maintenance personnel, take shelter at once! One minute to launch!

I'm expecting some ass-kicking from you, Ensign Kai!

Sure! Leave it to me!

C-1 09, standing by to launch!

Amuro, Gundam: catapult stand by!

Space...

Amuro, moving out!

006! 005! Ready for launch!

Won't you resign from the Federal Forces, Artesia?

Sayla! Are you there? Answer me!

Understand?

006, launch!

Sayla, 006, moving out!

Your #2 engine's running a little roughly.

I told you I understood that, right?

Now get back before you get blown outta here!

Sleggar, moving out!

Sir, please get into a normal suit!

Idiot, a commander never gets into a normal suit first!

The last thing I need is to scare my men.

All units, full combat speed!

The Camel Fleet will contact the Trojan Horse in 30 seconds.

We're 3 minutes behind them.

Excellent. We'll close with the Camel fleet and support them.

Artesia...

She was wearing a Federal Forces uniform when I saw her.

Artesia, who I thought hated fighting more than anyone.

There's no way she'd ever get on a battleship again.

Right! Go to combat alert 1! Move it!

I'm not one to follow a lady's lead.

Let's give it a try!

Sleggar? Too soon, man! Too soon!

At times like this, haste'll get you wasted!

They're splitting off to the left and right!

Hayato! Sayla! Lieutenant Sleggar! Go low!

Incoming!

Damn!

Sloppy, Kai!

Perfect!

White Base, do you read? We're turning to give support.

I'll leave the evasive action to you, Mirai.

Aye, sir!

Hard to starboard!

Direct hit! The left-flank Musai!

Pull those two Rick-Doms back! They're blocking our fire!

The Camel and the Swamel will cut the Trojan Horse off!

The white one from the Trojan Horse...

What?! I didn't hear you!

They don't see the Gundam out there!

Who's in that Rick-Dom?

Fraci, sir. He says he doesn't see the Gundam.

Then where is it?

No, it has to be out there. But where?!

Lieutenant Dren!

What?!

Object approaching at 1 2 o'clock!

What?!

It looks like a mobile suit... Heat sources, closing fast!

Missiles?!

They're not headed for this ship, sir!

The Swamel?!

The Gundam... That white monster...

Excellent!

All enemy vessels destroyed, sir!

What about that ship on our tail?

They'll be within effective firing range in 30 seconds, sir!

What do you think, Mirai?

Oh? Once he sees how well we're fighting...

he won't close to attack.

Char's like that.

Yes. I agree.

Aft missiles, lay down a cover barrage!

Mobile suits and Core-Boosters will fall in behind us in a Y-line.

Maintain course at full speed! Get us out of this sector!

Good work.

Excellent as always, Amuro.

Hey, Newtype! Newtype!

So, is the plan to go to Solomon? Or maybe to Granada?

I can't say that now.

But, to buy us some time, we'll head to Side 6.

Side 6, sir?

It's to provide a decoy for the next operation.

Side 6 is neutral, so we can't fight there.

Unfortunately, we need to go so they don't guess what our plans are.

If we do, they could surround us.

So, that means we're more or less on leave till the next operation.

Well, you could always get some more time...

in the Core-Booster simulator, Lieutenant.

Is there a problem, Mirai?

N- No, sir. White Base, setting course for Side 6.

Very well, then.

Oh, right. You have a fiancé. Sorry about that.

No, it's...

All that "fiancé" talk is just because of our parents.

Where is he?

He ran off to Side 6 to avoid the war.

If we weren't ordered to, I wouldn't take us there!

This is the sector which once contained Side 1.

It is now the site of Solomon, the base of operations of...

the Zeon space assault corps.

Its commander, Vice Admiral Dozle Zabi...

wished to show his sister, Kycilia, that Captain Char...

whom she recruited after Dozle discharged him, was incompetent.

But, as he didn 't know the objectives of...

the Federal Force fleet gathering at Luna II...

he could only afford to dispatch the Conscon Fleet.

Meanwhile, the White Base, with Char still in pursuit...

has entered the airspace of the neutral colonies of Side 6.

Welcome aboard.

I ' m Cameron Bloom,

the Immigration Bureau Inspector of Side 6.

We've placed these seals over all of...

the White Base's missile ports, cannons, and beam cannons.

If even one is broken...

I know. We have to pay a stiff fine.

Exactly.

To what extent can we resupply here?

I'm afraid you can't do that in Side 6.

We cannot allow any war-related cooperation.

I'll show you to the bridge.

Ah, we're just in time for the docking.

White Base, now docking. Stand by for mooring.

360 degree laser sensors, open!

Mirai! Mirai, is it you?!

Cameron! You!

Mirai, you're alive! Mirai...

You're looking well, too.

Who's that?

Maybe he's a relative.

Inspector Cameron, we're docking! Please control yourself!

And you, Ensign Mirai.

Yes, Lieutenant. Forgive me.

Mirai...

I'm so happy! I'd given up all hope of ever seeing you again.

It's all this war's fault.

If your father hadn't died, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

You're right. I might not have emigrated to Side 7.

But why didn't you tell me where you were, Mirai?!

I was desperate for any news about you!

Desperate?

Yes! I had my men search for you as hard as they could.

I don't know how much money I spent!

Really...

Why didn't you look for me yourself?

It happened just when I emigrated to Side 6.

So, our engagement really was just something our parents arranged...

That's not true, Mirai! You've got me all wrong!

Come on, let's talk this over.

Won't you come with me? Father will be so happy to see you.

But...

You can't think so badly of me, Mirai! I'd do anything for you!

Now, just wait a minute!

Excuse me.

I suggest you leave the ensign alone, pal.

Lieutenant Sleggar, it's all right!

You're sure?

Yes.

If she says so, Mr. Gentleman. Here, your glasses.

Cameron, are you alright?

Yes. I may be trying too hard to win you back. Right, Lieutenant?

You could say that.

Remember, we consider Ensign Mirai to be the White Base's mother.

Did you get your money exchanged, Lieutenant Tamura?

Yeah, I'm fine.

We're moving!

The space colony's central block maintains a state of zero gravity.

As the elevator carries them 3000 meters down to...

the artificial land below, the feeling of weight returns.

There, a warm, Earth-like landscape...

with mountains, forests, and cities, has been constructed.

Wow, cool!

It' ll be nice to have something different for a change.

Will they send the rest by tomorrow?

They should. I told them to hurry.

Dad...

What's wrong, Amuro?

Go back without me!

Hey!

Sorry!

Dad!

What the...?!

Dad!

Oh, Amuro.

Dad!

So, how's the Gundam working? Running well?

Yes, Dad.

Come with me.

Yes, sir.

What's the matter? Come in! Come in!

What's...?

A junkyard's a great place for picking up information.

That's why I live here.

Install this in the Gundam's memory system.

I based it on a Zeon mobile suit design.

It's a piece of junk...

Dad... Do you have oxygen deprivation syndrome?

It's great! It'll increase its combat ability by several orders!

Here, take it! And install it soon!

Sure... What about you, Dad?

I'm in the middle of a lot of research now.

I'll contact you later. Now get going!

Dad, I saw Mom back home...

Dad... Don't you even care about her anymore?

Of course. This war will be over soon.

Once it is, we'll go back to Earth.

Dad...

Go! Aren't you a soldier now?!

Welcome back.

Thanks.

They don't want us?

They're looking for an excuse to get us deported.

The war's about to come to a head...

so the Side 6 government's getting nervous.

Here.

Is this mine?

I didn't trust your orderly to do it right.

Thanks...

So, there's a problem with our being in port here?

Yes. The Zabi family has influence in Side 6's assembly.

Thanks again. Not going ashore?

Probably not.

You talked with Cameron?

He's so wrong.

He thinks the war isn't his concern. I can't stand it.

Really...

You should protect your relationships with others, though.

You really mean that?

I try to live my life as cleverly as other people do...

but I can be so clumsy.

Yes, you are.

Damn it! They should have given us the weather schedule!

Poor thing...

Poor thing...

Pardon me. I don't mean to disturb you.

Was it that bird that you were admiring?

Is there anyone who doesn't like a beautiful thing?

I was thinking how sad it was...

that it would grow old and die someday.

Didn't you feel anything like that?

Uh, no. That's not what I was asking.

It's clearing!

You've very pretty eyes.

You think so?

Really? I'm so happy! You're the Gundam's pilot!

So, how did that module I gave you last night work?

Come on! The new part I gave you!

The improvement was incredible! Wasn't it? Wasn't it, Amuro?!

Yeah, well...

Yes, of course it worked! Wonderful, it works!

Now I can concentrate on developing new inventions.

Yes, it works perfectly. Right, because I made it.

No one knows the Gundam as well as I do.

Goodbye, Dad...

Dad! Do you really think these mobile suits...

are more important than people’s lives?.!

Let's go!

Dad!

Get to the White Base!

White Base...?

Oh, great!

Char!

Sorry, kid. My driver's still new at this.

Did we splash you?

Uh, no! I was able to dodge it.

Sorry. I guess I was going too fast.

Not at all!

We'll have to tow it out with our car...

Lalah, open the trunk, would you?

Yes, sir!

- If you'd give me a hand... - My name's Amuro Ray, sir!

Amuro Ray? Amuro...

Strange, I seem to know that name from somewhere.

Yeah, you know me. And I know you.

Lalah, huh?

Please, let me help.

Relax. I'm done.

Thanks, really. Um, what's your name?

Char Aznable. As you can see, I'm a soldier.

Char!

Lalah, move the car forward slowly.

Yes, Captain.

That's Char. Char Aznable.

What's wrong? Stand back, Amuro.

I only just met him now. Why did I know he was Char?

And that girl... "Lalah "...

How old are you?

Si-Sixteen, sir!

Really. Pretty young.

I know you're nervous about being near an enemy officer...

but I was hoping you'd at least thank me.

Let me get that!

Thank you very much, sir.

No problem. Too bad I wasn't the only one who got dirty.

That's okay...

Really! Th-Thank you very much!

What's his problem?

He was scared.

He knows that you're the great Red Comet, Char.

There's nothing we can do about it.

If they say we have to go into battle, we have to leave Side 6.

But a fleet's waiting for us!

Captain! Inspector Cameron is here for you.

Right. I heard you. Bring him in.

Aye, sir.

Cameron, is this about our leaving?

The fleet waiting for you is the Conscon Fleet.

It's under Vice Admiral Dozle.

They may attack you while you're still inside Side 6's airspace.

At least let me escort you while you're inside the perimeter.

I have my private launch with me, so I can act as your shield.

I'd appreciate it.

Cameron! What do you think you're doing?!

How can you talk that way?!

I don't want you interfering with this!

It's none of your business, right?!

Mirai... If you won't get off this ship, then I should at least...

This is exactly what I was talking about!

Mirai, that isn't fair!

You're just doing this to try to look good!

I would never be that petty!

- I... - This is my fault!

You weren't there when l needed you the most, and now...!

I'm trying to make it up to you.

I want you to understand how I feel.

No, thank you!

Mirai! I'd never try to force you into anything...

Lieutenant!

This guy's on the level! Can't you see that?

If he wasn't you think he'd be carrying on like this?!

Even if we are in Side 6's airspace...

one stray missile could kill him!

And you! Why do you let her bust your ass like that?

Well, I wouldn't have hit her!

If you meant what you said, you would have!

But, it's barbaric.

Right, Cameron. It's your personality that's the problem here.

Right, Ensign?

How could you...!

Sorry, sorry.

If you haven't changed your mind, will you still do it, Cameron?

What? Oh, yes.

All right, Ensign?

As you wish, Captain.

Hey! Welcome back, Newtype!

What happened?

Nothing that concerns you.

I appreciate your help.

No problem. Well, I'll see you later.

A signal flare from Kayahawa?

The Trojan Horse is leaving Side 6's airspace.

Confirm its position! Engines to full!

Don't go thinking you can join your main fleet unharmed!

They're trying to escape in...

the opposite direction at full combat speed!

We won't let them! Launch all Rick-Doms!

Move it! I don't care if we violate their airspace!

Either way, once they leave the area, they'll have to fight us!

All hands, hold your fire while we're still in Side 6's perimeter.

Is that clear? Do not fire even if fired upon!

You've got some nerve, you skirt-wearing freaks!

This wasn't part of the deal! I expect a big bonus for this!

Fine!

Here they come!

Make no move until they do!

Cameron, we're almost to the perimeter. If we don't go back...

I know...

Here they come!

Get the kids into normal suits.

Bright, those Zeon mobile suits...

I know. You've come far enough.

We'll go to full combat speed and try to break out of here.

No, not till you're past the perimeter.

As long as my ship can keep up with you, I'll stay.

Approaching Side 6's airspace borderline.

Full combat speed! Are our mobile suits ready?

Gundam! 1 08! 1 09! We're going to full combat speed.

Cameron!

Lieutenant...

Pull back! We're probably going to have to fight.

Cameron, thank you. You've proven yourself to me.

But... Thank you, Cameron. Now go.

Give my best to your father and mother.

Mirai...

I ' m turning back!

Please! Take us to the bridge!

1 08! 1 09! Mega-particle cannons! Open fire on the trailing Musai!

I know it's playing dirty, but they still can't fire.

They got the Kramel?!

Damned Trojan Horse! Firing while we still can't isn't fair!

To hell with this! Fire! Fire!

It's started...

A TV ship!

Mirai...

This is not a drama, but a real battle!

Federal and Zeon ships, fighting in a corner of space.

Never mind the White Base!

Show me the Gundam! Show me how well it's fighting!

Y es, there we go...

Dammit, Amuro! What are you doing?!

Concentrate fire on that other Musai!

Have Hayato's 1 09 cover Amuro!

Damn, guess I'll just die in this metal coffin.

Hey, bridge! Aren't you gonna launch the Core-Boosters?

I've gotten used to this. I see that now.

Four!

As I keep telling you, this is a real battle!

A battle occurring right outside of Side 6!

Can the lone Federal ship, the White Base, escape the encircling Zeon forces?

Have they been treating you well at the Flanagan Institute?

Y es. I'm their star pupil, after all.

I guess so. Take a good look.

A real battle isn't thrilling, like a TV show.

This is what the battlefield looks like.

I know.

Watching this battle occurring on our doorstep...

forces us to consider how we can avoid being drawn into this war.

Y es, that's the way! I t's Amuro! I t's the Gundam!

The white mobile suit will win.

They aren't showing the Gundam.

I just know. That's why you hang around with a girl like me.

You're perceptive, Lalah.

I hate it when you talk that way. You sound too grown up.

Do l? I'll try to avoid it.

Seven!

Hands off, pal!

Eight!

Nine!

Destroyed?! Twelve Rick-Doms, destroyed?!

They've been fighting for less than 3 minutes!

Yes, sir!

One damaged warship took out twelve Rick-Doms...

They're not human!

Gundam, closing in!

Shoot it down! Char is watching this!

No energy left in my rifle, but I have to try and finish them!

Well, Captain?

I said you were perceptive, Lalah.

The Gundam pilot's Newtype abilities have begun to awaken.

At a level close to yours.

Perhaps higher.

Yes, sir.

They won! They won! It must have been the new module!

Take that, you damn Zeon!

The Gundam still has some life left in it!

The Federal Forces are going to win!

Hooray for the Earth Federation!

Hooray!

Enough... Take us home.

Come through this alive, Mirai...

It's highly probable that...

the Earth Federation will attempt a blitz on Solomon.

But don't worry, Dozle.

I assume you'll be committing your Newtypes to the battle.

Of course, although we have a few more tests to run.

We'll send what reinforcements we can from Granada.

Use A Baoa Qu!

Transfer troops from A Baoa Qu while there's still time!

You 'll have them. We're preparing to send them to you.

We've also sent you the Big-Zam as well.

That single machine has the strength of two or three divisions.

Battles are won by numbers, big brother!

You should have a way to win before you get so arrogant!

I know!

Our father, Degwin, was stubborn, which slowed us down...

but the plan is now set.

I 'm also sending out reinforcements.

But there's now the risk that our conversations will be overheard.

From now on, simply follow your written orders, Dozle.

And you, Kycilia.

Yes, brother. And you.

Dozle, hold that base and Zeon will be victorious.

Well, the Solar-Ray can always be used in other ways.

It won't be wasted.

I'm just a puppet. You know Lord Gihren controls the Assembly.

Suppose an offer for peace suddenly appeared.

Would that buy you some time?

Perhaps. I may be able to sway the Assembly, but...

Damn you, Gihren.

Didn't your brother's death affect you at all?

You aren't normal.

As long as Solomon and Granada exist, I'll try to open a route for us.

- Wow! A wrecked colony! - Ecen its mirrors are broken!

1 08 and 1 09 will remain outside the colony.

The Gundam will investigate the inside.

Aye, sir!

How long until we rendezvous with Wakkein's fleet?

Three hours, sir.

Texas colony.

Originally built to raise farm animals and for sightseeing.

Abandoned due to the war, its mirrors no longer function...

and it has now become a barely inhabitable desert.

She has a 70% target accuracy rate. Ensign Lalah is truly amazing.

I 'm returning to the Zanzibar.

I still need to fine-tune my Gelgoog.

I need more time to calibrate the psy-commu system.

Although Lady Kycilia is urging us to finish quickly...

if the Elmeth isn't ready in time, it won't be much use.

What was that?

What's wrong?

I felt you touching my mind, Captain.

Could you please not joke like that?

You're sure?

Yes, sir. We spotted two unidentified fighters.

Lalah!

You should get back to the Zanzibar, too, Dr. Flanagan.

Lalah, was that feeling you had before due to the enemy drawing near?

It felt gentle, like when I sense you, Captain.

I don't think it was.

But, does this mean you'll still fight for us...

once you're able to read your enemy's intentions?

I want to protect you, Captain.

But all I love about you are your abilities.

I don't care.

That's only because you're a man.

That's why I keep my integrity as a woman.

I hope you won't find it a nuisance.

You're strong, Lalah. That's what I like about you.

Thank you, sir.

Don't mention it.

Well, Mulligan?

It's one ship, but it seems to have parked at the opposite bay block.

Is my Gelgoog ready to sortie?

But, sir!

This recon will double as a field test.

Just be ready to get out of here!

Yes, sir!

I knew it! There is something going on in here!

I know! I've memorized the data on the Gelgoog!

Won't you wear a normal suit, sir?

My policy is to assume I'll come back alive...

even when I'm piloting a mobile suit.

The Zeon have laid mines!

We may encounter enemy mobile suits.

If we do, pull back to a safe spot to watch.

Yes, sir.

Did he get caught in the minefield?

This whole block's a minefield!

I 'll have to fly to the opposite bay block in one go.

A red mobile suit!

The Gundam!

Char!

This feeling I have... Like the one I felt before...

If I lead him into the nuclear minefield, even the Gundam can't...!

He's jumping into the minefield!

Lalah, get down!

Captain!

Who are you?

Who is it? Who do I feel looking at me?

Hurry. Get back to the Zanzibar!

Yes, Captain.

The airflow is slowed, but it's still dangerous.

I'll be back shortly.

He saw an explosion?

Y eah. Lieutenant Sleggar saw it on the colony's hull.

Nothing else unusual since that explosion.

Take us in! There might be more reinforcements!

All ahead, slow.

No good... Where's Char?

Char?

I doubt it.

Come on, move!

I doubt that dummy explosion will fool that pilot.

Hayato! I saw an explosion in C-block! See it?

No, I was concentrating on the opposite bay block!

Kai! Hayato! Do you read? Check out the other bay block.

Remember, there may be an enemy ship in there.

We'll send out separate parties to look for the Gundam!

Fraw! Have Kimura, Rohl, Omur, Sayla, and Job stand by in buggies!

Aye, sir. Calling hatch #3.

Main cannon! Mega-particle cannons! Target the opposite bay block!

We don't know when the enemy might appear!

Mirai, keep the engines at critical.

Aye, sir.

Fraw, patch the buggies' com. circuits into my station.

Aye, sir.

Go ahead.

Continue monitoring messages from Kai and Hayato.

Aye, sir.

Artesia!

Big brother...

Didn't I tell you to leave the Forces? Now you're an officer.

You're the one who left me to avenge Father.

You became a soldier... Turned against the Earth Federation.

Aren't you the one who's made the mistake?!

Who's she talking to? That voice.

Jimba Ral, when he raised us...

told us how Sovereign Degwin Zabi assassinated our father.

I know. He always talked about it.

It was Degwin who arranged for the heart attack that killed Father.

Degwin only named the Principality after him when he took control...

to avoid anyone suspecting him of killing him.

Degwin twisted Father's argument for Spacenoid independence...

into the idea that they were a Newtype elite.

And that, as the spaceborn elite, they didn't have to obey Earth.

But, in this war...

No, even before it began, people began changing out here.

Some people understand that, and some people don't.

That's why Old-Types will be destroyed.

But aren't Old-Types the soil from which Newtypes grow?

Not everything that's old is necessarily bad!

I realize that! But, Artesia...

I don't like how Newtypes being taken in by the system...

are being made to be my enemies!

They're getting in the way of my killing the Zabi family!

Amuro would understand...

Amuro? The Gundam pilot?

Yes.

What is this? What are they talking about?

A pilot can't change the whole system!

His Newtype abilities are just being used for war!

Big brother! What are you trying to do?!

I 'm going to avenge our father!

You're lying!

I know you're trying to do this on your own, but...

you can't create some self-centered world ruled over by Newtypes!

I'm not nearly that conceited!

I just want to let Newtypes live as Newtypes!

Artesia, leave the Trojan Horse.

There's enough gold left to let you go back to Earth.

Big brother!

Do you understand why I wear this mask?

I'm not the Casval you once knew!

I am Char Aznable! A man who has abandoned his past!

Big brother, l...

Big brother! Casval!

Casval!

Big brother!

What's wrong, Bright? Is it Amuro?

No, it's... It's nothing.

The static's terrible.

Really?

Y- Yeah... I'm worried about Amuro.

So am l.

The Gundam's been found!

Captain!

The enemy ship is the Trojan Horse!

The Gelgoog's on board along with the Elmeth.

And Lalah?

Yes, sir.

They won't try anything until they've recovered the Gundam.

Get us out of here!

Right! Mirai, launch!

Exit through the bay the Zanzibar was using!

We may have to fight a running battle!

A mine?

All I know is that the letter in the trunk was addressed to you.

Kai's keeping his mouth shut. You know what this is about, right?

I do.

I could question you, but won't you tell me yourself?

What's in the trunk and who wrote this letter?

I think there's probably gold in the trunk.

You think so?

Yes, I do.

And the author of this letter?

Char Aznable. The Red Comet.

That's...

Impossible!

"I beg that you promise to do what I told you to."

"To his gentle sister, Artesia Som Deikun..."

"Casval Rem Deikun sends his love."

Big brother...

Casval...

Now don't move from here!

Y es, si r.

What did Kycilia say from Granada?

She's sending reinforcements.

And what about Gihren's Solar-Ray?

It looks like Sovereign Degwin's having second thoughts about it.

Does Father want Solomon to fall?!

Our fleet is currently standing by at...

the third battle line opposite Solomon.

Beyond this point there is no more wreckage from Side 4.

Even if we are attacked from Solomon...

we will not open fire until we reach the second battle line.

The fleet will assume a line abreast formation.

Okay, White Base.

Show me how those amateurs who came to Luna II have grown.

It's a light barrage! Don't fall back! Just five more minutes!

Not yet! We can't die yet! Not till we've fired our missiles!

La Coque! Take the conn!

Yes, sir!

I'll be right back!

Expect the worst! Get the women to the escape capsule!

Hurry.

Is the battle going that badly?

I said hurry!

Y- Yes, sir!

Solomon won't fall. But we should be prepared, just in case!

Now that I have her... For Mineva's sake, I can't lose.

Your voice is so loud.

Move it!

Incoming!

Dammit! Not here! I won't die alone!

Who will live? Who will die?

That will not be known until the battle's end.

All that can be certain is that each beautiful sparkle...

shows one or hundreds of people being blown to stardust.

Are the mirrors set?

Sir! Just four more minutes, sir!

Hm... Solomon's going to notice us soon.

What?! That's impossible! Hidden in the wreckage of Side 1?!

What?

Tianem's main fleet!

Send the Gwaran and some Musais towards the main enemy fleet!

Shall we ask the 7th Division for support?

Ask Kycilia?

If I do that, I'll become the laughingstock of our nation!

Solar-System! Target Solomon's right wing. The space gate!

10 seconds to alignment.

Activate mirrors!

Counterattack units closing! All ships, be prepared!

Forget it! Hurry up and focus!

Three, two, entering focus!

Solomon...! It's burning! What's...?!

Is that the power of the Federal Forces' new weapon?!

What's happening?!

Space gate #6 is gone! They have a new weapon!

What is it?!

Nothing on the radar! No sign of energy particles!

Is it a laser?! Where's the source?!

The enemy's main fleet!

Didn't we send the Gwaran Fleet that way?!

Yes, sir!

1 09, recovered!

Damage level: B! Pilot is wounded!

Our battle strength is down 1 1 % since 1 09 pulled back!

- Oh, it's nothing serious. - Really?

Okay, just give Hayato another unit of blood. Don't forget.

Right.

They're coming! The Dom...

Hayato...

Fraw Bow...

Just be quiet. You fought well. Get some rest, now.

The others...?

They're fine. Still in the fight.

Oh...

I hate this... Why did it have to be me?

I'm not as good as Kai or even Sayla. I'm pathetic!

What are you saying, Hayato? You did a great job.

Stop it! I don't want you to make me feel better!

All I've wanted, ever since I came onto the White Base...

was to somehow be better than Amuro. And now...

I'm pathetic!

Hayato...

Amuro's different. He's not like the rest of us.

What? Solomon's requesting reinforcements?

Aye, sir! I can't make out the details from the coded signal...

but Lady Kycilia is ordering troops to Solomon.

I doubt we'll make it, but...

Yes, sir.

Maximum combat speed! Target: Solomon!

Is Zenna here?

Dear, aren't you coming?

Don't be ridiculous! Solomon isn't going to fall!

But...

N.o, just get out of here and get to my sister at Granada.

But you won't come?

It's okay. Don't worry.

Bring Mineva up to be a strong girl.

Dear...

I'm a soldier.

A soldier who will build the Zabi family's legacy.

I won't die.

Go, Zenna! Take Mineca and go!

Great! I really pulled a boner just now.

Sleggar in 005 is returning to the ship!

He's been hit in the portside engine!

Hatch #4, prep to receive!

Sleggar, do you read? Please respond!

I read you. I'll bring her in on deck #3.

What is it, Ensign?

N- Nothing, sir.

Our starboard missile barrage is too light! Pour it on!

Fraw Bow! Get 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 could be the one who could care for you, but...

Bright...

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

Y es, sir?

Ensign Mirai's feeling a little sick.

Will you relieve her for a while?

Aye, sir! I 've got it.

Bright...

A- A guns, incoming to port! Do you see it?!

Hurry up! Let's try to do this in 1 0 minutes!

- Howard! - Yeah?

Where's Lieutenant Sleggar?

He was headed for the starboard ready room.

I see. Thanks.

Lieutenant... You aren't hurt.

What are you doing here, Ensign?

Thank God...

Let's stop it right here, Ensign. It won't work.

Lieutenant Sleggar! Prepare to launch!

Gotta go.

See you.

Lieutenant...

Come back to me safely.

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?

Hm? Oh, never mind.

Lieutenant!

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

Sleggar...

You're... 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...

Granada, the base for Kycilia Zabi's mobile space forces.

The reinforcements were launching...

though it was clear they were far too late.

Th-The beams!

What the...?!

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!

Salamis ahead!

Forget it! Fire the forward beam cannon!

A huge, two-legged mobile suit! The beams are bouncing off it!

The 005!

Not bad, Lieutenant Sleggar.

Have the Big-Zam attack the main fleet!

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

Aye! But, sir...!

Our forces are too scattered.

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

Transfer control over to my station and save yourselves!

But, Admiral...!

Don't throw your lives away!

We still have Doms and Zakus.

They can tow you out of the battle zone!

Yes, sir.

Right! Fire the signal flare! I'm taking control of the Big-Zam!

To think Solomon would fall so easily...

The Gundam!

That's hard to take on.

Don't underestimate the Big-Zam!

It's impervious to long-range beam bombardment!

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

It's unstoppable!

Do you see?! When we mass-produce the Big-Zam...

you Feddies will be dead before you realize it!

Man, we can't just sit here and let him do that!

Hey, Gundam-boy! Let's get that thing!

You mean we have to attack it directly because of that beam barrier?

It sucks, but this is war, after all.

From below?! Air defenses, fire!

You won't beat me!

Damn you!

The Gundam!

Why, you...!

The Big-Zam won't be beaten...

by just one mobile suit!

I won't be beaten!

One mobile suit cannot defeat the glory of Zeon!

As long as I live, you won't beat Zeon!

Who is that? Wha...?!

What is it...?!

Solomon has fallen?

Yes, sir.

We should be grateful to have at least saved Lady Zenna and Mineva.

If only it had held a little longer...

Yes, sir. We'd better reinforce A Baoa Qu and Granada.

Yes, quite right.

Everyone has to die eventually.

The Principality of Zeon consists of...

approximately 40 closed-cylinder colonies.

Its population numbers 150 million...

and it is the Side least damaged by the war.

We can't just sit on our hands simply because...

our reinforcements didn't make it to Solomon.

Kycilia's Newtype Corps is already...

planning to attack Solomon as a test.

You speak lightly of the Newtype Corps.

They're a convenience.

Father, you talk of how...

the Principality was vital to the realization of Zeon's ideas.

This is the same.

No, it isn't!

The Earth Federation recognized the Principality of Zeon...

as the first autonomous Spacenoid nation!

Deikun's methods could only effect changes at the civilian level.

The term "Newtype Corps" will increase our people’s morale.

Then you're decreasing it in your displacing of...

millions of citizens so you can use your Solar-Ray...

shows me that you're an incompetent soldier!

You dare say that to me? Look at this!

I've had enough of your strategies!

Moon and A Baoa Qu are the Principality's last line of defense.

Against them, the Federal Forces can take three routes.

If they break through here, the Principality will be left naked.

Before that happens, we'll fire the Solar-Ray...

from inside Zeon airspace and destroy the Federation fleet.

This plan's strongest point is that it allows us to...

modify an existing closed-cylinder colony...

thereby saving us a great deal of time and expense...

while guaranteeing maximum results.

This will authorize the project.

Which you've already begun.

With a 6 km wide laser, smashing the Feddies should be no problem.

Yes, sir.

And when we win, then what?

We finally solve the overpopulation problem.

To maintain balance, only the truly worthy should be allowed to live.

To ensure mankind's eternal existence, the Earth system must be cleansed.

Far easier to control a small number of people, don't you think?

Have you ever heard of a man named Adolf Hitler?

Hitler... Lived in the Middle Ages, didn't he?

He was a dictator. A man who couldn't see where the world was headed.

You're following in his footsteps.

I participated in Zeon Deikun's revolution as well!

If the population continues to grow, we will breed weakness.

And weakness will lead to extinction.

What has the Federation's absolute democracy given us?

An out-of-control and corrupt bureaucracy.

A growing mass of humanity which gobbles up resources.

Federation weakness created this cannibalistic war.

The human race has exceeded its limits.

I'll command from A Baoa Qu.

I'll show you we can win.

After that, we can await the coming of the true Newtypes.

See how the man who follows in Hitler's footsteps can fight!

He's full of rationalizations.

God only knows what Kycilia's planning...

Hitler's followers ended up trying to kill him!

At ease!

Welcome to The Confeito, sir!

So, how does it feel to be using Solomon?

Wonderful.

Newtypes?

I'm not sure I understand.

Propaganda, designed to mask how exhausted they've become.

But, General, what about the Gundam's and White Base's victories?

They probably doubt it.

Newtypes are supposedly people who can live without war.

Not people with supernatural abilities.

Have the orderly get me some aspirin, would you?

I wonder what's wrong? I don't think I'm catching a cold, but...

I hope not. Not this close to the Operation Star-One.

What is it?

They don't see anything out there?!

We haven't finished laying new power lines yet!

How could we see it?!

Hey, what happened?! Area 38! Area 38!

General...

What's that? An explosion? Marker, where's the enemy?!

I don't see any!

Minovsky particle density is too high for me to track any.

All hands, air raid watch!

Launch the Core-Booster and all mobile suits!

What is this?

Ensign, are you sick?

No, just a strange feeling.

Something's strange around the Confeito.

Strange... Like you were sensing what was about to happen?

All hands! Go to emergency combat alert level 1!

I thought we were only on half-watch.

Who's calling to me?

What is this?

Can't they cut us some slack?!

Ensign Sayla!

Yes, sir?

I trust you, but leave your personal feelings out of the battle.

I've been fighting sincerely up till now, sir.

Besides that, can you feel it? This... oppressiveness?

No, nothing.

Although Mirai was just saying the same thing...

006, moving out!

Something wrong, Bright?

Nothing. It's just that... Something's bothering Sayla.

Do you still feel it?

I don't blame him. I know the Red Comet, after all.

How many ships has it taken out?

With the magnetic coating the Gundam's a bit more maneuverable, but...

They're calling me!

What am I seeing?

Those lights there...

They're from Lalah's attacks. Incredible!

Captain...!

What is it?

My head hurts.

Hm... Level 9.4. Pretty rough.

I can still do it!

We're pulling out!

It's gone.

Sorry for the bother.

That's all right.

What do you want at a time like this?

I want to clear up your misunderstandings.

My misunderstandings?

You're angry with me, right? For hiding that I knew Char.

Well, a bit.

Char is my big brother.

Brother?! Your brother? But, then why...?

Things are... complicated.

You mean you're leaving the ship?

No... I don't really think I could do that now.

I've grown attached to the White Base.

And when I think about my brother trying to accomplish the impossible...

I wish I were dead!

Sayla!

He's become a monster!

Saying he believes in Father's ideals as he twists them...

He's not the Casval I knew.

A monster...

Is Casval his real name?

Y es. Casval... Deikun.

What?

My real name is Artesia Deikun.

Zeon's...! You're Zeon's...!

Yes! Yes, we're his children!

But, that has nothing to do with us now!

Pursued by the Zabi family, unable to live on Earth...

Here. This is the gold my brother gave me.

I want to give it to everyone on the White Base.

Are you sure about this?

I'd feel better this way.

It may sound like a selfish excuse, but...

You've chosen a difficult path.

I agree.

Lady Kycilia! Captain Char has arrived!

Show him in.

Capt. Char Aznable and Ens. Lalah Sune, reporting!

My forces are deploying along the A Baoa Qu and Granada lines.

Captain, I want you to take command of my assault forces.

Yes, ma'am.

Ens. Lalah Sune.

Yes, ma'am.

Your test at Solomon was a success.

I'll be depending on your help.

Yes, ma'am. The military saved me.

I'll do all I can to help.

Captain, please come to my room later on.

Yes, ma'am!

Sovereign Degwin Zabi, not waiting for...

Prime Minister Darcia's peace plans to materialize...

decided to contact the Federal Forces himself.

He was now desperate to stop Gihren's plans. However...

You're old, Father. And you're also far too late.

Y es?

A message from technical advisor Captain Asakura, sir.

Right. Put him through.

The Solar-Ray is now operational.

It will achieve maximum power in two hours.

As the polarizing mirror was created only for tests...

we 'll only be able to fire it once.

Are its capabilities as we predicted?

Yes, sir. Definitely.

We'll soon be engaging the left wing...

of the Federation's advancing fleet.

Yes, ma'am.

As it appears they're ignoring Granada and headed for A Baoa Qu...

my fleet can't avoid engaging them.

Gihren must see that we're making an effort to fight.

Yes, ma'am.

What's wrong? Have a seat.

Ah, yes, ma'am.

As I thought. You do resemble your father, actually.

Yes.

I never noticed.

But, after all, Char Aznable is so different from Casval Deikun.

After I was cashiered by Admiral Dozle and summoned by you...

I thought this day would come.

I was afraid. Even now, I can't keep my hands from shaking.

I feel the same.

Although, when I found out who you really were, I laughed.

You laughed?

Yes. I used to play with you when you were four years old.

Did you forget?

It was so unlike the Red Comet to have allowed Garma to die.

And when the Flanagan Institute was first contacted by...

the great tactician, Char, it was natural to think it a bit strange.

When I realized that deceitful officer was little Casval...

I was more amused than upset.

Thank you, Lady Kycilia.

Since I've given you command of my Newtype Corps, you must be truthful.

If you've abandoned destroying the Zabi family and aren't Casval now...

what are your intentions as Char Aznable?

What happened with Garma... It felt empty.

To put it your way, I gained no satisfaction from revenge.

It left me feeling empty.

It seemed funny. I laughed at myself.

Similar to my own father.

If, as my father said, there's to be a rebirth for man into a Newtype Age,

I want to see it.

That's what I'm after.

I hold no love for Gihren. Just remember that.

For the new era!

Politics can be complicated at times.

Quite.

Man, they've rolled out another new weapon?

The Zeon are amazing. Is this a Newtype-use unit?

When the Woodward Fleet contacted it three hours ago...

they also picked up that "la-la" sound.

So, this tulip-looking, tricorn hat thing was broadcasting it?

You think it's Char in this?

That's not the problem.

How do we beat something that destroys you before you can detect it?

And how do we destroy this Tricorn Hat?

Get real! Does the book say how to handle this? I bet not!

The Zeon are 1 0 years ahead of the Federation!

We have to maximize our advantages and just survive.

Can't I just go home and be nice to my parents?

That's fine, assuming all you're after is survival.

That's not what I meant!

I don't feel like falling on my sword for a bunch of useless Fed officers!

Kai has a point, but our real enemy is the Zabi family.

And after they're gone, do we fight the Federation, too?

Huh, Sayla?

I never had a head for politics.

All I really understand is fighting for your freedom.

Pretty vague reason for a brainy person like you, Sayla.

What's wrong with it being cague?

What do you mean, Newtype?

Well, no one really understands what Zeon Deikun meant...

when he talked about the coming rebirth of man.

But humans have the ability to adapt to new environments.

And there are always those who reject what surpasses themselves.

That's what we have to fight!

We'll start by running right at the enemy fleet.

I think we should take out about half.

Then, under your command, we'll attack their mobile suits.

Yes, Captain.

From here on, I take orders from you.

Captain?

Yes. You're far better than I am.

Captain, no, you're...

You've shown me more than I could ever teach you.

Believe in yourself.

Yes, sir.

Captain.

From now on, wear a normal suit when you go into battle.

Only because you ask me to.

Thank you.

Mobile suit teams launched!

Attack formation assumed, with Char's Zanzibar in the lead!

Excellent.

The Gwazine will hold here.

30 seconds after Captain Char launches...

give him 30 seconds of covering fire!

We're not gonna lose the ship we go back to, right?!

Incoming!

Right 1 0 degrees at half past 1 o'clock!

Four ships approaching at 9 o'clock!

Open fire!

Don't stop!

Both sides lost two ships each!

They'll send in the suits next! Prep A-A defenses!

Mobile suits approaching in teams of 5 and 6! Total number: unknown!

There? No. I see!

Below me!

The Tricorn Hat!

I see it!

Other parts of the Tricorn Hat?

I see them!

This isn't working! Find the control lines...

Got 'em!

You monster!

You're too powerful.

If I don't defeat you, Char will die!

Char?! But...

You came to me too late!

Too late?

Why? Why did you have to show up now?!

Why do you fight like this? Why?!

You have no one! Nothing to fight for!

What do you mean?!

I can see it.

You have no home, no family! No one you love!

But... But...! What difference does that make?!

Is it wrong to fight when you've nothing to fight for?

It isn't natural.

Then why do you fight?

I fight for the one who saved me.

Is... Is that all?

It's a truth that people live for!

But, then, what does our meeting each other mean?!

Why? Why did I meet you now, after it's too late?

If it's fate, it's a horrible one. Cruel.

Nothing can come of our meeting each other. Nothing!

But this is happening! You have to accept it!

And if I do accept it?

Nothing can come of our meeting!

Lalah!

- Amuro! - Amuro! No...

In joining, we now understand each other.

Why did I have to meet you like this?

When you came to me, it was too late.

And for me, it was too soon. It's always this way for people...

Lalah! Stop playing around with him!

Captain!

Char!

The Gundam... And a red mobile suit!

Big brother, get out of here!

Big brother!

Captain, no!

What?!

Artesia...

Char, prepare to die!

Captain!

Lalah!

Lalah...

Lalah!!!

People are changing. Becoming like us.

Yeah. You're right, Lalah.

Do you really believe that, Amuro?

I do. Because you and I were able to understand each other.

Perhaps, someday, people may even control time itself.

Oh, Amuro... I can see time!

I 've done something I can never make right...

I... I've killed Lalah...

I can 't beat the Gundam. Not like this. Not now.

Lalah, show me the way.

The advance force was practically wiped out. Terrible.

Yes, ma'am.

And you failed to destroy the Trojan Horse?

Perhaps I overestimated you.

Lady Kycilia, special orders from Commandant Gihren on A Baoa Qu.

As the Federal Forces continue to advance on A Baoa Qu...

all Zeon ships are to evacuate the Solar-Ray's firing path!

Mission time is 21:05.

He's firing the Solar-Ray in 30 minutes?! It's too soon!

Damn you, Gihren. What are you up to?

Captain, at this rate...

we'll never rendezvous with the main fleet in time.

Mirai, can the Salamis to our rear keep up with us?

Impossible. Let's go on ahead.

You think that's wise?

It'll be fine. The Zeon have cleared out of this sector.

And there are no more Newtypes to match Amuro.

Why do you say that?

I don't know. Either way, the White Base will be a little late.

Meanwhile, the Federation's main fleet, under the command of General Revil...

was gathering at the third battle line leading to A Baoa Qu.

It was at this moment that he revealed their target:

They would go through A Baoa Qu and pour into Zeon.

General. The Great-Degwin is here to discuss peace terms.

Sovereign Degwin?

Y es, sir.

I see.

Things are tough for the Zeon as well.

But, at that moment...

This is Gihren on A Baoa Qu.

I will now give you the Solar-Ray's final target data.

Revil's main fleet has split into three groups...

which are attacking as they advance.

If we target the Solar-Ray along the Gel Dorva firing path...

we can take out half of their fleet.

Solar-Ray, stand by!

Roger, sir!

Solar-Ray, stand by!

Generator systems: normal!

Microwave transmitters: normal!

Output at 85 million gigawatts per second!

Firing angle adjustment: Down 01 2. Right 0032.

Primary target: Gel Dorva!

Attention Musai at generator panel 825!

Clear out! Your shadow's lowering our output!

Solar-Ray will fire in eight seconds. Seven... Six...

Five...

Four... Three...

Two...

One...

No! Keep us back!

A whirlpool of light and people...

They... They're melting!

The light's pure hatred!

Amuro, what's wrong?!

Amuro!

We can't let the light shine!

"Light?"

It looks like Sovereign Degwin.

Now Gihren is...

Sovereign Degwin!

What?

What's that light?!

It's coming from General Revil's main fleet!

They can't all be gone... They can't all be gone!

What's happened?!

The Solar-Ray's been fired along the Gel Dorva line!

Did you hear?

Yeah.

Hey! How's the laser sensor look?

Yeah, I heard it. Did you?

What are you doing?! We're at alert level 2!

Stop chatting with each other!

The Great-Degwin's I FF code was tracked on the Gel Dorva line.

I'm afraid...

The Great-Degwin...?

Yes. And we were tracking it in the same vicinity as the enemy fleet.

Was there a report of it going into battle?

No, ma'am.

I see. Maintain surveillance on their remaining forces.

Aye!

The Great-Degwin...? Strange.

We have eight ships here. All badly damaged.

- Fraw Bow! - Aye, sir!

What's the Luzal say?

To stand by while the fleet is gathered around the White Base.

No, anything besides that?

No. Everyone's really confused.

Attention, all hands on the White Base! Stand by at alert level 2!

Can you make out anything?

They say it's like they used a Solar-System.

A Solar-System?!

The thing we used at Solomon.

Although the power level's totally different.

White Base! Signal code Beta Tau!

Roger!

My brave and loyal Zeon soldiers!

Half of the Earth Federal Forces ' fleet...

has been blasted to stardust by our Solar-Ray!

Its light was the light of Zeon's righteousness!

No matter how much power the Federal Forces may still have...

after this fatal blow, they are nothing but a few pathetic remnants!

I say now, that so weak a force...

could not possibly defeat us here at A Baoa Qu!

Humanity, under the care and guidance of...

we Zeon, the chosen, superior nation...

will, at last, gain immortality!

If thi s wa r d rags on, all mankind may be destroyed!

We must make the incompetent minions of the Federation pay!

We Zeon must arise, for the sake of all our tomorrows!

Battalions 2 and 4 will advance from point N.

With the Luzal acting as the flagship...

we will advance from point S.

It's obvious we're undermanned, isn't it?

If only we could use the Solar-System, too.

I think we're safe.

I know our objective at A Baoa Qu has the heaviest firepower,

but it's also the most fragile position.

The operation will work.

Newtype intuition?

Yes, sir.

Ready to synchronize!

Three, two, one, zero! The operation has begun!

Right! All hands, go to alert level 1!

In ten minutes, we'll break through the F line!

Fraw Bow!

No matter what happens, never give up hope!

It'd be a shame to die at this point.

Thanks, Amuro! I won't give up!

That's my Fraw! See you later!

And don't you do anything crazy!

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah. I'll be down in a sec.

You're sure you're all right?

Sorry I made you worry.

We're gonna stay in E block!

Good luck, everyone!

Where's Hayato?

Fraw's got him.

Fine by me.

That's a dirty laugh.

Nothing wrong with it.

Perhaps, but...

Bye-bye! Good luck! We believe in you!

Sure!

Amuro, was what you said before true?

No. If Newtypes could see the future...

we wouldn't have such a hard time.

If we hadn't asked Amuro to say that, everyone might have deserted.

They're scared.

Damn right they are.

Hard as they try, people can't be gods.

The enemy's spreading a beam dampening field towards us.

Respond with missiles. Hold the mobile suit units in reserve.

The carrier Dolos is on schedule. Hold off for a bit.

Reroute half of S field's ships to N field.

Damned Feddies. They're doing well even with their main fleet gone.

Gwazine entering from E field! I think it's Lady Kycilia.

Good! Reroute it to N field!

Strange... What's she up to?

The number of ships fighting isn't the number she has.

Looks like they've sent out all the new Gelgoog suits we have.

None left for me, I suppose.

Why don't you try the Zeong? Although it is only 80% finished.

"Zeong?"

It has a psy-commu system, similar to the Elmeth's.

You should be able to use it.

Yes, ma'am.

I want you to make up for our losing the Elmeth.

Yes, ma'am.

80% finished?

Launch all mobile suit teams!

Magellan-class, destroyed!

Enemy has launched mobile suit forces!

That's it, Dolos! Do your worst!

Commandant! Lady Kycilia has returned.

You're late.

Forgive me, sir.

I heard the Elmeth was destroyed.

Yes, sir.

It couldn't handle a single Gundam?

We're going to use the Zeong.

That unfinished prototype?

Unless we use someone we think is a Newtype...

we won't beat the Gundam!

Char, again?

Dolos moving in!

Don't be so persistent.

And where is the Great-Degwin?

At Zum City?

Destroyed. It went out too far ahead.

Oh? Did Sovereign Degwin transfer command to someone else?

Not very subtle, Kycilia.

Do you think Father would hand over the Great-Degwin to anyone?

No, I don't.

Well, there's your answer.

Damn you, Feddie bastard!

Our forces are unstoppable!

80%? Don't be stupid! The Zeong's at 100% capability!

It doesn't have any legs.

They're just for show, anyway. The brass never understand that.

Unless we use someone we think is a Newtype...

A psy-commu, huh? Think I can handle it?

Captain, your Newtype abilities are unknown.

I can't make any guarantees.

You speak your mind. Better watch that.

Sorry, sir.

For what it's worth, I think you'll do fine.

Thanks. I believe you.

Ah, the Dolos. It's doing well.

Then again, the Feddies don't have enough to beat us here.

A new fleet?! Federal Forces?!

What?

Are you certain?

On the N. field perimeter. I'll assess the size.

The Feddies are doing quite well.

You think so?

Isn't it just the last desperate struggle of the surviving fleet?

Of course.

What's the status of Captain Char's Zeong?

Yes?

How is the Zeong?

About to move out!

We've spotted a new fleet above S field.

Use the 34th Mobile Suit Team and take it out!

Yes, ma'am! We'll take out the enemy approaching from S field!

The Feddies shouldn't have any more forces in reserve.

Ecen S field should hold against this level of force.

Y es, Commandant.

You patricidal monster!

Now, then...

The question is whether I can do as well as Lalah.

Go to hell!

Up 2 degrees! Evasive action!

Aye, sir!

Excellent! But where is he?!

There! Mobile suits!

That big one... Char?!

From behind?! What the...?

It seems like a stronger Newtype than Char. But...

But my real enemy isn't him! He's in there!

It seems the Dolos forces can hold N field by themselves.

Excellent.

Father was on board the Great-Degwin...

And he was with the Federation fleet. Why?

It couldn't be helped.

What would have come from mistimed peace negotiations?

He wouldn't have been killed, Commandant.

Stop fooling around.

You aren't usually this naive, my brother.

That's Commandant Gihren!

Even the Commander in Chief cannot get away with killing his father!

Anyone who objects may file charges after this battle is over!

Record that Commandant Gihren died gloriously in battle!

Lady Kycilia, your orders?

Twanning... Thank you.

As of now, I am assuming command of A Baoa Qu!

Dispatch mobile suit units to N field!

What's the situation in S field?!

Yes, ma'am! Ten of the twenty- five ships are destroyed!

The rest are holding on in S field!

Send Char's Zeong out in front!

Concentrate mobile suit forces in S field!

Let's go!

Who's next?

These new models are good!

I wonder what's wrong, Mirai.

Momentarily, their defenses weakened.

You're right. Something strange happened.

We're not doing well, but then neither are they.

So it seems.

This is pathetic! I lost the Gundam!

Damn it! Where is it?!

Their mobile suits are breaking through in N field as well.

I'm getting worried.

Char's Zeong?!

The enemy units are keeping him away from the Gundam!

He's still not used to the Zeong!

All right! They've broken through!

Char! He's found me!

I see you! I see you, my enemy!

Why are our Gelgoogs and Doms maneuvering so poorly, Twanning?

Well... Many of them have pilot trainees at the controls.

Students?

But they've been fully trained, ma'am.

I believe you, but the question is how effective are they?

They seem too weak.

I'm sorry.

But they're all very patriotic, so...

I wish Gihren had truly believed in Newtypes.

He shouldn't have been so arrogant.

We'll destroy the enemy one by one inside of A Baoa Qu!

There aren't that many of them left!

Why do you have to come at me?!

F- Fire...! Mother!

Gotcha!

He dodged it?!

Char!

Maria!!!

Intensify starboard firepower!

The GM squadron appears to have broken through!

One more battalion and they'll all be in!

Right!

Fraw Bow! Where are our Guncannons?!

Intact! They've broken through to S point's main gate!

I can't let Kai do all the work!

Bastards! We were here first!

Real stupid. Times like this make me glad I'm a natural coward!

Gundam!

From this close you can't use that four-way attack, Char!

What?!

Why did you drag her into this?!

Lalah never should have been sent out to fight!

Char!

Come on! Don't die on me, man!

Leave the rest to the mobile suit teams!

That Gundam pilot, "Amuro"...

How do I beat a Newtype like him?!

Tell me, Lalah... Tell me what to do!

Portside engine, emergency shutdown!

- Eject engine pod, Mirai! - Aye!

Moving in for landing.

Go to it. To all hands:

Prep for land battle! Hand-to-hand combat!

Aye, sir!

I've lost helm control!

Both of the White Base's engines are out!

What about everyone on board?!

It's dangerous here! Take the kids and get out!

Aye, sir!

- Don't forget sidearms! - Aye, sir!

Wrong spot!

Gundam!

Damn you, Char!

I'm not dead yet! He just took out my main camera!

Zeong, destroyed! Cancel IFF code!

No response from N field!

The Red Comet has fallen as well?

W field, block 24: send us some ammo!

But, if the Gundam pilot has developed unusual Newtype abilities...

then it was unavoidable. Don't you agree?

Yes, Excellency.

You're to surrender this position 1 5 minutes after I escape.

But...!

We still have our forces at Granada and in the Principality!

But, escape at this point will be difficult at best...!

As long as I live, Zeon will not vanish.

And what happens to me after we surrender?

You'll be brought home when we exchange POWs.

Now prepare my ship.

At once!

They're like ants! Everywhere!

Enemy ground troops are coming out!

All hands, hold them off with bazookas and rifles!

Even Char has to understand who we should really be fighting!

He's here.

Straight ahead leads into the heart of A Baoa Qu! I can do this!

Lalah may have been the one who gave you all your power.

You should be grateful.

You're the one who dragged her into this war!

If you're saying that's unforgivable, you're wrong, Amuro.

What?!

If not for this war, Lalah's Newtype abilities never would have awakened.

That's an excuse!

N.o, just the correct point of view.

Any closer and I'll shoot!

You don't understand just how dangerous you really are.

You've shown all too clearly what a true Newtype is.

And what's wrong with that?!

People should accept their limits... That's why I must kill you!

That idiot! How am I supposed to fight by myself?

Guess it's hand-to-hand, now.

The others...

We're not going out to die! Send some escort units!

- This is taking too long. - I'm sorry...

Just hurry! And don't let any other soldiers know!

The company commander in block 24 is...!

The ground war's begun?

That way...

Because you're their greatest fighter!

But our real enemy is the Zabi family, right?!

Not to me!

Do you understand why I've lured you in here?!

Because you thought that, even though I'm a Newtype...

I can't use my body any better than a normal person!

Even Newtypes need training to use their bodies well!

Another excuse!

Stop it, Amuro! Stop it, big brother!

You're the last two people who should be fighting!

Stop it, please! You mustn't fight!

Just now, Lalah said it!

"Newtypes aren't tools for killing each other!"

All people use Newtypes for now are as tools for killing each other!

Lalah was doomed to die.

And you... You call yourself a Newtype?!

You have to stop!

Amuro! Are you okay?!

- Artesia! - Big brother, stop it!

You have no reason to hate him!

He killed Lalah.

You're both responsible!

Then join me! Lalah would want it that way!

- Are you insane?! - Big brother!

I can't just leave you running wild!

Big brother, your forehead's hurt.

If it weren't for my helmet, I'd have died instantly.

I was helping Lady Kycilia escape...

I... I tried to defend her, but... Captain, would you...?

Don't worry. I'll take care of Lady Kycilia for you.

Thank you, sir...

The air here's getting thin. You'd better escape, Artesia.

What are you going to do?

"Grab the opportunities life hands you." That's my motto.

Big brother...

You're an adult now. It's time to stop playing war.

Survive and become a fine woman.

Amuro's calling you.

Amuro?

Where's Lady Kycilia?

She should be leaving port!

Salamis approaching from above! Emergency launch, full combat speed!

Anyone who isn't sitting, get down on the floor!

Ten... Nine...

An offering to you, dear Garma.

I hope you'll get along well with your sister.

Char?

No good...

I can't get back to the others. Even if I could...

Even if l survive... My brother is...!

Damn it... Is this the end?

There's still a chance!

But, what about everyone on the White Base?

And Sayla!

Maybe I should go to where Lalah is.

Newtypes shouldn't kill each other, right?

Right... What should I do?

You and I can enjoy ourselves anytime.

I see them, Lalah... I see them all!

You can see.

Sayla! Get up! Please get up!

Amuro?! Is that you?! But I don't know where I am!

Straight this way?

Right. Straight for 500 meters, then turn left 90 degrees.

500 meters...

Seal hatch #1 6!

Aye, sir!

Amuro?

If I don't give the order to abandon ship, we'll all die!

Seal the hatch! We don't have any more friendlies there!

Aye, aye!

Amuro?!

Right, I'll get the Launches ready to go.

Amuro?

Dear, sweet, Fraw... When the gunfire lets up, run.

Amuro? But where are you?

Just get to the Launches. Okay?

When I run, you run, too! Okay?

Dammit, why do they just have to pick on the White Base?!

Well, we're sort of an obvious target!

Did you just hear that?

Yeah. Amuro...

He told us to get out of here.

I think so.

The Federal Forces are probably about to attack.

If we're winning, I'd say we can leave.

Let's go!

The White Base!

Sayla! Over here!

Sayla!

Kai!

Okay, we've got her! Let's go!

Aye, sir!

The White Base...

The White Base is going down.

If Amuro hadn't warned us...

we would have been caught in that inferno.

Wait, Amuro isn't on this Launch! Bright!

No, he's not.

Sayla, you and Mirai both heard him most clearly.

Sayla, you're an orphan of Zeon.

Your Newtype abilities are probably stronger than ours.

Try to find Amuro!

But, how...?

I don't know how to!

Amuro's the only one not here! Can't you find him?!

Well, but...

You heard Amuro before, didn't you?

I could hear him until I was back at the White Base, but now... Amuro...!

People shouldn't sacrifice themselves just to be... convenient.

Okay! I know where he is! I know!

- Okay, a little to the right! - Kikka!

Yeah, a little to the right!

Okay, there! Go straight!

What's wrong with you three?

This way! This way! You're doing fine!

You're almost out!

Amuro!

They know! But, where?!

Okay, Amuro? In five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

Zero!

Amuro!

The others...?!

Forgive me... I still have a place to go back to.

Nothing feels as good as this!

Please understand, Lalah.

I can go to be with you anytime.

On this day, in the year U. C. 0080...

at the conclusion of this battle...

an armistice was finally signed between...

the Earth Federation government and the Republic of Zeon.
