Original subtitles

It has been 50 years since mankind began moving its overflowing population...

... out into space.

Around the Earth, hundreds of gigantic space colonies now float...

... in whose cylindrical walls man has recreated his old world.

In this new homeland for the human race, people are born...

... Live...

... and die.

It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century.

The colonies of Side 3, the furthest from the Earth...

... have declared themselves the Principality of Zeon and have 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.

The bitter stalemate has dragged on for eight months now.

Slender, you stay here.

Aye, sir.

Looks like the military facilities are in the upper-right block, sir.

Everyone must be at work.

I count one car but there are no people to be seen.

Hold it, I see a kid down there, too.

Amuro!

Amuro?

He hasn't eaten yet... Amuro!

I thought you'd be up here.

It isn't healthy for you to skip breakfast all the time.

Hello, Amuro. Hello, Amuro.

You're cheerful as always, Haro.

Thank you, Amuro.

What do you plan to wear, Amuro?

Amuro!

I'll eat as soon as I 'm done with this computer.

Didn't you hear the evacuation order?

Evacuation order? Is that what that siren was all about?

Oh, for heaven's sake!

Didn't you hear the army's broadcast?

They're putting us in the shelters because of...

...that warship that's docking here today.

What for?

Amuro, we don't have much time!

All right, already...

I'll wait for you outside. Haro, come.

Gimme a break!

Hayato!

Hi, Fraw Bow.

Shame on you, not telling Amuro! He lives right next door.

About the evacuation?

Of course. He's been living all alone in there, after all.

Well, if military engineers like his dad...

...hadn't come here in the first place...

Are you still upset about them kicking us out...

...so they could build the research center?

It's not that...

Hayato!

Coming! See you!

Amuro!

You're hopeless, you know that?

Is your dad on the ship that's coming in today?

Probably. He went Earthside about a week ago.

I wonder if there'll be fighting on this colony, too.

Don't ask me. Dad never tells me anything!

Get the Gundam parts loaded onto the White Base.

- Tell the ground crew to hurry! - Aye, sir!

Damn White Base! They're bringing a Zeon ship here, too!

- So, that's it? - Yes, sir.

The Federal Forces have a fine new class of ship.

Once we work out the bugs on those ships and the Gundam...

...we'll have no trouble smashing the Principality of Zeon!

Excuse me, Lieutenant Ray. We're docking with Side 7 now.

Could you please come to the bridge at once?

Ah. Aye, Ensign.

- You're name's Bright, isn't it? - Yes, sir.

How long have you been in the military?

Six months, sir.

Once we get the Gundam into production, we may be able...

...to end this war without kids like you seeing actual combat.

Is that your son, sir?

Yes. Is it true that boys his age are fighting as guerrillas?

Yes, sir. I've heard it's true.

Horrible...

At ease, Lieutenant Ray.

So, we weren't able to lose that Zeon ship?

Unfortunately, no.

That makes three mobile suits! There are probably more inside.

We have to hit them now!

We're just here to observe.

But, if they get those suits onto that battleship...!

Don't be in such a hurry to grab some glory.

Gene!

It worked for Lt. Commander Char!

He built his career by winning actual battles!

Dammit, Gene!

You're violating direct orders! Gene, stop!

No one'll care if I pull this off right.

Better to kill your enemy quickly, I say!

That was close!

I think that was inside the colony!

Maybe it was a meteor.

These shocks are being caused by... Explosions!

The Zeon! The Zeon are attacking!

Amuro!

I'm going to look for my dad!

Amuro...!

No! You'll get us all in trouble if you go out!

My dad works for the military.

This shelter capsule isn't going to hold out!

I'm going to ask if we can evacuate to...

...the ship that docked here today!

Kid, wait!

Stop!

Close your door, please!

Zeon mobile suits!

Is that a Zeon Zaku?

Hey! Civilians are supposed to be in the shelter capsules!

I'm looking for my father, Dr. Tem Ray!

Do you know where he is?!

On the ship, I think! Come on, let's get this out!

Look out!

They're dead...

"Classified materials? "

This is... A Federal Forces mobile suit?

Mr. Denim left me in the construction area in case anything went wrong.

I followed his orders and...

And where's Denim?

He stayed behind to help Gene.

And the Federal Forces do have mobile suits there?

Yes, sir!

Get all the pictures you can. If it gets too hot, pull out!

Yes, sir!

What do we do, sir?

So, Denim couldn't keep that rookie under control...

I may have to go there myself. Take us closer to Side 7!

Yes, sir!

The basic movements are handled by the computer...

No wonder Dad was so crazy about this thing!

Amuro!

Amuro! What are you doing?!

Damn you!

Amuro...

We can probably use one of the inner-lifts for this!

- Fraw, get to the spaceport! - Amuro!

- Fraw, come on! - Right!

Dad!

There's lift #3, right?

But the refugees are using it.

Dad!

The Gundam comes before them!

Get it aboard the White Base and prep it for combat!

Yes, sir!

Dad!

Amuro? Why aren't you in a shelter?

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...?

The warship that docked here today. What's the holdup?!

The engine won't turn over!

Just get to the White Base!

C'mon, let's find a tractor.

Dad!

This is...

Amuro! Come on!

Are you alright, Amuro?!

Fraw Bow!

Fraw! Fraw Bow!

Fraw Bow! Come on, speak to me!

Amuro...

Can you stand?

Mother...

Grandpa...

Mother... Mother... Mother...

Fraw, they'll get you, too. You have to run, Fraw!

No!

Get a hold of yourself! You're stronger than this!

I want you to run to the space port. You can do it, Fraw Bow!

I'll meet you there soon.

Now go!

Run, Fraw Bow!

Run, Fraw...

That's right. That's the way. Fraw...

This thing's on!

Just like the manual. Is this...?

Incredible. The energy capacity is five times above normal!

Let's do it!

Here it is.

Can I make it?

Left... Right...

Hurry!

Get some weapons out here!

White Base, can you launch a Core-Fighter?

Impossible! We'd have to blast the Side's hull open!

Do we have all combat personnel out there?!

Aye, sir!

I never expected they'd attack from inside the colony...!

Gotta stand up!

He's in front of me!

Weapons...?

Chief Denim! That enemy mobile suit just moved!

What?!

I thought they were all just parts being shipped!

Wait, it's having trouble moving. I'll get it.

Here it comes!

What the hell's that mobile suit made of?!

My rifle didn't even scratch it!

Watch this, you god damned Zaku!

Our orders were to just observe! We're pulling out, Gene!

What are you saying?!

If we don't beat them here, they'll just keep getting...

It's up!

Stand up... Come on!

Sir! One of our mobile suits is moving!

Moving?

What kind of attack is that?! Who's in the cockpit?!

I'm out of ammo!

You're going down... I don't care how thick your armor is!

Here he comes!

I'd swear this suit looks scared of me!

The Federal Forces have a mobile suit that powerful?!

Incredible...

I won't let you escape!

Aren't there any other weapons?! Weapons...

This?

Gene, can you jump back to where Slender is waiting?!

I still have my auxiliary camera to see with. I can jump.

You're not getting away!

If I destroy that other mobile suit's engine...

...it could rip Side 7 apart! What do I do?!

You'll pay for killing Gene!

What do I do? Maybe just aim for the cockpit...?

If this Zaku blows, it'll take all of Side 7's air with it!

Get those civilians onto the White Base!

Aye, sir.

Looks like that air leak has been sealed off.

How's the Gundam transfer going?

It's stopped. It looks like all our regular engineers are dead.

- Then we'll use that thing. - Sir?

Whether that's a real pilot or somebody else...

...we need their help!

What was...?!

Where's Slender?

He's escaped from Side 7 and is on course for the ship.

No one Iikes to admit to them.

To those mistakes caused by their youth.

Grab some civilians! Just get me some help here!

Someone's shooting from outside, too?

Where's my Yuuri?!

Come back! Get on board the White Base!

Yuuri! Yuuri!

Hang on tight.

Hurry!

Fraw Bow! Get to the White Base.

A mobile suit!

Amuro? Amuro, is that you in there?

Move it! The air's gonna be gone from this section soon!

R- Right!

Captain! I 'll take over here! Please get back to the ship!

You're a pilot trainee. Do you know how to shoot?

I can try.

Go to it.

Captain!

- Are you alright? - Yes, sir! I'm fine!

You followed my orders, as well as Denim's.

Just relax, Mr. Slender.

Thank you, sir!

Though I find it hard to believe the Feddies...

...could build such an impressive mobile suit.

I know, sir, but I saw it myself.

Lieutenant.

Open a laser com. channel and contact Admiral Dozle.

You'll be safe in this ship. Just sit quietly.

You, down there!

You can tie bandages, can't you? Help us out up here.

Sure.

I'll look for your mothers later on, okay?

Okay!

- Over there. - Right.

Excuse me.

Oh, thanks. Can you help?

Get some suture tape on the wound on that side.

Right.

You're sure that Zeon ship has ceased fire?!

Yes, sir.

All right, get back here!

Captain, there you are.

Captain!

Everyone who was defending us from that Zeon ship has been wiped out.

How are things on your end?

Every soldier and engineer on Side 7 has been killed.

All due to those two Zakus.

I see...

We don't even have ten soldiers in fighting condition.

Get all Gundam-related material loaded on board at once!

Yes, sir. Fortunately, one pilot got a Gundam operational.

He's transferring a Guncannon and a Guntank on board now.

Who's the pilot?

I haven't found that out yet.

Once he's finished, get the White Base out of Side 7 at once.

Yes, sir. But who will pilot the White Base, sir?

The computer can take us out of port.

But...

Excuse me.

I'm just licensed for cruiser- class space gliders, but...

Could I be of any help to you?

Who are you?

Mirai Yashima, sir.

Really?! As in the Yashima family?

I hoped to be toasting...

... the successful completion of your mission last night.

But, because you wasted so much time...

... my dinner plans were ruined!

We've discovered the Federal Forces' V Project, Admiral Dozle.

What? The V Project?

Y es, sir. Mobile suit production.

We also picked up a new class of warship at the same time.

Char, the Red Comet, strikes again. So, what else?

Since we were headed back to port, we've exhausted our missiles.

You need to be resupplied? You've got it!

Thank you. One more thing. I need three more Zakus.

Are you telling me you lost three Zakus?!

Y es, sir! Two of them to a single Feddie mobile suit.

All right, you'll get your Zakus.

Just get me any data on the V Project that you can.

If possible, capture that mobile suit as well.

I 'll try, sir!

Lieutenant! Get me three shock troops!

What? Aren't we going to wait for the supply ship?

In war, always think two or three moves ahead.

Slender managed to get out of there.

Meaning we can do just the opposite, can't we?

Who did you say was in it?

He's named "Amuro, " sir.

I don't know him.

He could be a test pilot here on Side 7.

Contact the Gundam on the starboard panel.

Yes, sir.

Have the Gundam cover White Base when it leaves port.

Where's the channel control?

On the right-hand console.

How does it look, Miss Mirai?

Fine, sir. The engines need some more time to reach critical level.

Captain! There's a kid operating the Gundam!

What?!

See for yourself, sir. This boy is in the Gundam.

He's no pilot.

Him?!

You know him?

Not personally, but he's famous on Side 7...

...for being really into machines.

That boy took down two Zeon Zakus?

It was the Gundam that beat them, not me.

What are you doing in there?!

That voice... You're the one who ordered me before...

...to get the Gundam-related equipment on board here!

I'll get him out of there, sir.

If only there were any pilots still alive.

- You take the residential block. - Okay, gotcha.

C'mon, Chief, hang on!

What're you..?

Captain's orders. We're to look for any stragglers.

Are there any other people left?

I dunno. I was dodging the blast craters and barely made it here.

You coming?

Why, you...!

You call yourself a man?! Coward!

What's your problem?!

I'd be happy to leave a guy like you alone here on Side 7!

Who died and made you queen?

Umm... Your name's Sayla, right?

Why, you... Don't talk to me like some street punk!

- Fraw Bow! - Right!

Hey! Gimme a hand here.

Right...

Activate engines. Thrust: 3%

Mega-particle cannons, stand by. Target: Side 7's space gate.

Avoid any direct hits on the docking bay.

Not bad, Lieutenant.

Slender!

Sir! We can get in through this maintenance airlock.

All right! Go!

Looks like they're attacking again.

What do we do about Amuro, Captain?

Operator, what's attacking us?

Sir! One Musai-class behind us, 40 degrees to port and closing.

Destroy any Gundam parts we can't use!

- Issue a beam rifle to the Gundam! - Sir?

He's a little young to be sent into battle.

But there's precedent for soldiers as young as 1 5 or 1 6.

Aye, Captain.

Amuro, do you read me?

Destroy all the Gundam parts left in Side 7!

Why? There're still three suits left in there.

Do you want the Zeon to get our secrets?!

That's strange. The Musai's falling back.

Falling back...? Do you know what to do?

If we use that "super napalm " stuff, it should work.

Captain?

Amuro's made the right choice. Let him do it.

Is anyone left here?

I'm going over to Amuro's house.

Be home in time for dinner.

If anyone's left, please answer.

No survivors...

Freeze! Drop it.

You're brave, all right.

You don't look like a soldier or a guerrilla.

One move and I'll shoot!

She looks like...!

Take off the helmet! Then turn around!

But, if she's Artesia...

That's a Zeon!

Big brother...?

I'm going to use the super napalm!

Get into my hand!

I 'm going to destroy the mobile suit parts here.

Amuro! You're sure it was a Zeon soldier?

Y es, sir.

Are you okay?

Y es.

Mr. Bright! A Zeon soldier's gotten into the port!

What?!

Close all hatches on the White Base!

Issue a gun to anyone who can hold one...!

It doesn't matter who!

Shoot that Zeon soldier coming in from the bow! Move it!

There it is.

Get ready to leave port!

Damn!

Commander!

They're coming out!

Shoot them! Shoot them! Shoot them!

They're coming out!

Equip Slender's and my Zakus to the maximum...

...and send them out on a laser line!

This is Musai. Roger. Course plotted. Open the hatch!

Prepare to launch Zakus! Course RD-23.

Gate sensor: 360 degrees, all roger.

Your shoulders are too tense. Relax. Let the computer handle this.

Aye, sir.

- Get me Amuro in the Gundam. - Yes, sir?

Don't get too far out from the White Base!

Stay within ten kilometers, to the right of the ship.

Roger.

Reconfirm that each section is airtight. Can you do that?

Yes, sir.

Operator, we have mostly amateurs crewing the ship.

I want them brought up to speed ASAP!

- We'll do what we can. - Go to it.

Internal missile stores are shown by...

I know. This display, right?

You catch on quick.

All blocks! Stand by for a counterattack!

Now exiting docking bay.

Begin Minovsky particle broadcast! Full combat density!

Bright, I'm ready to launch in a Core-Fighter!

Ryu? Are you sure?

I'm a pilot trainee, remember?

Better than these amateurs, but... Any experience?

Two simulated flights.

About as experienced as Amuro...

High-intensity heat sources approaching!

Heavy missiles! 1 2 degrees to starboard, minus 8 degrees!

- Mirai! - Aye, sir!

It's too late!

I'm tracking them! Let me have a shot at them!

Go for it!

I'm launching now!

These I can handle.

Come on!

Tracking two more objects closing in!

What?!

They look like mobile suits.

Zakus?

But no Zaku can go this fast!

One of them is closing at three-times normal speed!

It's Char! The Red Comet...!

What was that, Captain?

Char, "the Red Comet"!

Char took out five of our ships single-handed at the Battle of Loum!

Get us out of here!

Now, let's see how good that Feddie mobile suit really is.

I'll take him! Shooting a Zaku isn't like shooting people!

I can do it!

Amuro, no! You can't handle him...

I can do it!

You won't get past me!

Gotcha!

Impossible! It was a direct hit!

This is... war...

Slender, are you here yet? Get behind that enemy mobile suit!

But, Commander! What's it firing?! I've never seen a gun like that!

It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't hit you. Now cover me!

Don't waste the energy charge!

You don't have to tell me that!

He's behind you! Pull up!

A Core-Fighter?

Why, you...

Slender!

One shot! One shot and it blew?!

I don't believe it!

I s that mobile suit carrying a warship-class beam rifle?!

One shot... The Zaku...

How dare you!

The beam rifle charge!

I drained it.

Core-Fighter, in landing bay. Gundam, set course for landing.

Gundam has landed.

Once they're secured in the bay have Ryu and Amuro report to the bridge.

Put the White Base on course for Luna II.

All hands remain at your stations, but take turns getting some rest.

They're here.

Bright, what's the enemy doing?

They're not moving, but I think they'll follow us.

Char's like that.

Amuro!

You, huh?

You're depending too much on the Gundam's abilities.

You'll have to be more effective in battle.

What?

Grow up! As long as you control the Gundam, you're a pilot!

You have a duty to protect this ship!

What did you say?

You may not like it, but that's the way things are.

If you can't do it, you can go back to Side 7 right now!

Bright!

I may not be able to do it...

...but I have to do it. I think that you're...!

Feel free to hate me.

Now go help with the Gundam's maintenance.

Use whoever you need. You're responsible for it now.

Luna II. An asteroid brought here to provide...

...building materials for the space colonies.

It is now the front line base of the Federal Forces.

Canned food for you!

How many are in here?

Seven.

Excuse me, but I asked for some milk earlier.

Here it is!

How long until we get to Luna II?

They say it'll be another hour.

Pardon me. When do the food rations come?

They're right down the hall.

Sayla!

Where did you live before coming to Side 7?

Am I required to answer?

No, I was just...

Earth.

It's my first time. Being out in space, I mean.

One of the elite, I see.

Are you being sarcastic?

Weakness isn't allowed here, Ensign Bright.

Need a break? I just have to watch the gauges, right?

Thanks. Watch it until we're ready to dock.

He won't Ieave us alone.

He won't try anything at Luna II.

Why not?

It's a question of firepower.

Again!

Amuro, I brought you some food and a change of clothes.

If you don't change, you'll start to smell!

You've skipped two meals already. You have to eat something!

I'm not hungry!

I thought you didn't like Bright making you do this.

That's beside the point. I'm doing this because I don't want to die!

Are you?

Aren't l?

Why do they keep such an old ship in service? Lieutenant Dren!

Sir!

Open a video link with them.

So, the Red Comet needs some supplies, eh?

Get caught with your pants down?

I had my first real battle with an enemy mobile suit.

I know how you feel.

Looks like the sector's filling up with Minovsky particles. Hurry!

Open the hatches! Dock with the conveyor pipes immediately!

Madagascar, locked onto beacon.

Docking speed: maximum, minus two. You're in the pipe.

Looking good. You 're on course. Madagascar, entering port.

Docking crews and ammo loaders, report for duty!

Recreation services, where are you? Are you ready to receive our troops?

Pier #2, ready!

Load secondary battle supplies on board.

Roger!

I ' m Wakkein, the commander of Luna II.

Please... The repairs to the White Base and the children...!

Y es, sir. We'll get the ship directly to Jaburo.

Right, get going.

Commander Wakkein, can't you at least take the refugees?

We can't go to Jaburo like this!

We barely have any experienced crewmen.

You've already had some combat experience.

But...!

I'm sorry, folks. This is a new class of ship.

It has to get to Federation HQ at Jaburo.

They'll decide where to send you once you're there.

What, we're going to Earth?

We want to go back to Side 7!

We were going to live there!

These orders come from Jaburo! This ship is to leave at once.

Sir, do you think they'll make it?

How should I know?

All I could do was give them one Salamis-class cruiser as an escort.

And wish them luck.

Jaburo has no idea what it's like at the front.

Sir!

This war with the Zeon is getting desperate.

To be using total amateurs like them...

Terrible times we live in, don't you think?

Where's the #27 computer for this spare Core-Fighter?

How should I know? Check over there.

That Core-Fighter's the mobile suit's cockpit?

The Gundam, Guncannon, and Guntank all use them.

All right! All right!

Whoa, Hayato. Working hard, huh?

The enemy's right in front of us. Can you learn it all that fast?

Lay off me!

Kai, are you finished with the maintenance on the Guncannon?

All set.

Then you're to stand by at alert level 1.

Yes, ma'am!

25 minutes to atmospheric entry.

Think you can handle it, Mirai?

I performed one entry before, in a space glider...

...but I could patch into the ground control com. net then.

The basic concept is the same. Just follow the Salamis' lead.

I'm worried, though. Char won't let us go so easily.

- Just concentrate on the entry. - Aye, sir.

Hey, kid! Do you read me?

Aye, Lieutenant Reed.

You all set for entry? We'll be in the Salamis ' re-entry capsule.

We'll be going faster, so don't fall behind.

Aye, sir. Roger that.

Mirai, cut in the auto-nav systems and prepare for entry.

Aye, sir.

Fortunately, we were able to get three new Zakus.

The enemy will enter the atmosphere in 20 minutes.

I don't think any battle has been launched with this sort of timing.

If the Earth's gravity pulls you in and you start re-entering...

...you and your Zaku will burn up in an instant.

But, as they'll be concentrating on entry...

...it's a perfect chance to attack them with our Zakus!

The primary target is the Trojan Horse. Secondary is the enemy mobile suit.

I expect you all to do well.

The ship will be entering the atmosphere in 15 minutes.

All hands, stand by at alert level 2.

Ryu, isn't there a smaller one?

We've got some kids' sizes. Check over there.

Here, the neck fastener has a double seal.

Kids' sizes?

Cool. Perfect fit.

When did I become a part of this war?

What?

Nothing. I'll stand by in the Gundam.

- Stand by with the missiles. - Aye, sir.

Think Char will follow us?

Doubt it.

Salamis capsule away. White Base now following.

To all hands on the White Base.

The ship will be entering the atmosphere in three minutes.

If you are standing, please find a seat.

Even if the ship starts shaking, please remain calm.

Combat and maintenance personnel, stand by at your stations.

We may have to launch the Gundam. Maintenance teams, be prepared.

Bandits!

Putting it on screen.

Maximum magnification. 34 seconds to interception!

Gundam! Launch and slow down those Zakus! Can you do it, Amuro?

How should I know?

After you launch, get back to the White Base in four minutes.

Otherwise you'll burn up in the atmosphere.

Roger.

There are four Zakus approaching from aft, R3 degrees.

Four?! That can't be right!

A fact is a fact. Char gets resupplied, too.

Wish I could be as calm as you.

Ryu and Kai will be covering you. Just watch your altitude.

You think I can watch that while I 'm fighting?!

I know you can.

You don't have to flatter me.

Step onto the catapult!

Clear to launch!

Moving out!

Don't screw this up, Amuro...

They've launched a mobile suit as well. Dren, cover us!

We'll split into two groups and attack.

Roger!

Now launching re-entry capsule!

Right! Launch!

Musai! Launch missiles!

Amuro, don't concentrate on Char!

Those Zakus are going after the Salamis ' capsule!

The capsule?!

I 'm tired of running from Char, but...!

Idiot!

No, you don't!

Gotcha!

This sight's drifting out of calibration!

He's got a vulcan cannon?!

Commander!

I can't hit him! Are the vulcan barrels misaligned?!

We're hit!

The upper-hull!

Bright! If we re-enter like this, we'll burn up from the inside!

Roger! The White Base will pick you up.

Thanks!

Sayla! Tell Amuro to lure those two Zakus away!

I mpossible! He's tied up fighting Char!

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

I'll teach you that!

Damn you, Char!

Got him!

Damn! My bazooka ammo...!

Behind me!

Too slow!

Salamis capsule, now deploying laser lock!

What about those Zakus?

Laser lock, engage!

C'mon! Die already!

Get in closer to them!

Yes, sir. But that triple-A's pretty thick!

You call that thick?! Watch your enemy and attack from below!

We're hit, starboard side!

Intensify starboard turret fire!

Releasing emergency wall film sealant in the damaged areas!

Fraw, can I fight, too?

It's a war out there!

I'm not scared!

Are, too!

I am not!

Where are the machine gun turrets?

In number 35, I think. The starboard one aims forward.

I 'll give it a try.

Amuro, we've got Zakus hitting us from below. Take care of them!

- How's it looking? - Not particularly good.

Damn!

Too easy!

Stop!

Damn it! Is that Feddie suit a monster?!

Amuro! Gundam! Do you read?! You're over time!

Amuro, return to the White Base! You're over time!

Prepare for atmospheric entry! Secure all guns!

Amuro, come in through the rear hatch! It's too dangerous now!

Roger!

Commander Char! Please get into the capsule!

Crown, forget him! Even that enemy suit can't take this heat!

Leave him alone and get into the capsule!

Tell Amuro he'll burn up in the atmosphere, too!

Amuro, get back here! Forget the Zaku!

Ensign Bright!

My orders are to get the White Base and the Gundam to Jaburo safely!

Get the Gundam back in here! He's going to burn up!

Tell Amuro!

Why did you use that amateur?!

But, if I hadn't sent the Gundam out, they'd have shot the White Base down!

Lieutenant Reed, please sit down. It's dangerous.

Bring outer hull cooling system up three points.

I'll have you court-martialed! Got that?!

Where's Amuro? Hasn't Amuro come back yet?

I didn't expect my rate of descent to be this fast!

What about Crown?

Forget it. We can't recover him now.

Commander! Commander Char!

Help me! I can't slow down! Commander Char, help me, please!

Crown...

A Zaku just can't survive atmospheric entry.

I'm sorry, Crown, but your death won't be in vain.

Got it! There is a re-entry system! But do I have time?

Cooling shift and heatproof field! Activating all systems.

We can't contact the Gundam due to re-entry blackout.

Amuro! Amuro! Come in!

Amuro! What's wrong?!

He'll be out of contact for a few minutes.

That mobile suit's still there. It's not burning up.

What's going on? They have a suit that can handle re-entry?

Altitude 32... 30...

29... 26...

25... 24...

20... 17... 16...

14... 12...

Is it going to hold out?

When we get radio com. back, contact Garma on the continent.

Now I see, Commander Char.

Even if we didn't defeat them before atmospheric entry...

...our backup plan was to change their entry angle...

...and bring them down in territory we control.

War is unforgiving. You always have to think ahead.

I have Captain Garma, sir.

Hello. What can I do for you, Red Comet?

I may have to resign that nickname, Capt. Garma Zabi.

You sound unusually humble.

You've heard about the enemy's V Project, haven 't you?

I've seen it firsthand.

What?

It's taken out six of my Zakus so far.

How awful. Is it really that good?

I 've led him your way. You may have the honor of the kill.

I'm coming in right behind it.

Very well. I accept your gracious offer.

I 'll attack it with our Gaw assault carriers. Scramble!

Restoring video.

It's the Gundam!

The Gundam! It's all right! Amuro!

Look, Pelo. That's the Earth.

That's all land down there?

And is that the sea? That's called the sea, right?

Oh, yes. You've never seen the Earth before, have you, Pelo?

This is a real planet. Made of real land and water.

Amuro, good work.

Amuro...

Amuro! We made a pie to celebrate!

We have champagne, too, Amuro.

Let's have a toast with our pie!

Cheers, Amuro! Cheers, Amuro!

Just leave me alone...

What's your problem, Amuro?!

This was our projected entry angle. This is our current course.

There's no way we can get to Jaburo!

I agree. We're deep in Zeon territory.

You've got to be kidding...!

Careful! Let me take care of that!

Char's a brilliant strategist. He really took us for a ride.

We have to break out of here! Someway, somehow!

- Enemy planes! - What?!

Char may have been right.

It's totally different from any other Feddie warship.

The Musai capsule!

Bring it aboard!

All right! Got her, five by five!

Captain Garma, the Musai capsule is on board.

Hello there, Char. This isn't like you.

You had a hard time with just one enemy ship, eh?

Please don't mention that, Garma.

Or should I call you Captain Garma, commander of the Earth Occupation Forces?

Call me Garma, like you did at the Academy.

That's the Trojan Horse.

The ship that even the Red Comet couldn't stop.

Are you saying you wouldn't have come out here otherwise?

Oh, no. I'm happy to come just to pick up an old friend, Char.

Don't forget, the Trojan Horse performed re-entry on its own.

Ah, yes. We're taking that into account as we calculate its combat potential.

They've had you on constant duty since the guerrilla mop-up, right?

Why don't you rest?

I think I'll accept your offer.

I guarantee that victory in this operation will mean a Zeon Cross.

Thank you. You've allowed me to prove myself.

Did you come to help me raise my stock in my sister's eyes?

Don't laugh. The men are watching.

- Amuro, hurry! - Amuro, hurry!

Amuro!

Amuro!

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Do you have a fever?

No!

They said they wanted you on combat stand-by.

I haven't been able to sleep since we left Side 7.

I try to get to sleep, but I can't!

Want me to ask Sayla to check you out?

She's a med student, after all.

Just shut up!

Stop it, Amuro! This isn't like you!

And fighting in a mobile suit is?!

This war's killed practically every adult!

Old people and kids younger than you have to fight!

It's the same for the Earth Federation and the Zeon, right?!

And cut that out, too!

The Federal Forces are just using us as a decoy.

A decoy?

They're working on even newer weapons than these.

They're using us to keep the enemy occupied...

...so they can have time to finish them. We're decoys.

- From Jaburo? - It's come in?

This is the White Base.

Defense force M-4. Decryption circuit: Alpha gain!

Alpha gain, roger.

"The White Base is to break through the enemy line...

"...and escape out to sea. " That's all it says.

They're not coming to help us?!

Hey! Can't we send a message back through M-4?

Impossible! Sending even an encrypted signal...

...this deep in Zeon territory is dangerous!

What are those generals thinking?!

They don't know what our situation is!

Garma... You don't have to go.

I told you, I have to prove myself to my sister.

Someone like you who has no family wouldn't understand.

Guevil squadron, move out!

Garma squadron, launch!

We're gonna crash!

You can't expect these amateurs to fly on a deck like this!

Take us up to 100 meters!

We'll reveal ourselves to that Gaw!

I can't let the White Base get destroyed by hitting a mountain!

Don't blame me if we're spotted!

Ryu! Are Hayato and Kai all set?

Hayato's going to be the gunner in the Guntank.

And Kai?

He's got the Guncannon. Let's see how well he does. You okay, Kai?

Does it matter if I am or not?

Go to it.

We need all the support we can get.

I know! That's why I 'm sending those amateurs to do this!

Look, Bright, I'm only going to shoot from under the White Base!

Okay? That's all I'm doing! We don't get pensions for dying!

I'll make sure you do.

Do you agree with the plan?

Do you think we'll break through?

How should I know?

What is it, Fraw Bow?

It's no use. Amuro says he doesn't want to fight.

What?!

Bright...

Amuro! Launch at once!

Can you guarantee I'll sleep well once the battle's over?!

Guarantee?

Amuro...

I just can't do it anymore.

If you hadn't fought before, I'd be dead by now.

I know... So would l.

But I can't stand being so scared anymore!

Damned Trojan Horse!

Dopps coming around behind us!

They're trying to cut off our escape route!

Concentrate fire on the port-side engine!

All right! All right! Hold it! Guntank's launching out!

All clear, Hayato?

I've got it. Leave it to me.

Guntank, once launched, cover the forward, port-side wing.

Ahead, slow!

Jeez, is this all the firepower we've got?! Huh, Bright?

The Gundam will be launching soon.

Have confidence in our firepower, okay?

Sure thing, Sayla. You really know the right things to say.

Locking the White Base at an altitude of 1 05 meters.

Opening the hatch on launch deck #2.

Ryu, you're clear to launch. Verify balance and drop!

Here we go, Hayato!

Take the cannon's safety off once we clear the ship!

Roger! I'll show you I can do as well as Amuro!

What's that? Some kinda tank?

A mutant mobile suit design. It's just a ground weapon.

Guevil squadron, attack that enemy mobile suit!

Hayato! Bandits to the left!

Damn, that thing packs a punch!

Guncannon, launching!

We've got waves one and two still coming in!

Kai, we're counting on you!

I 'll give it a try, Sayla.

Alright, I'm down!

They're shooting at me!

Jeez...

I can do it! I can do it!

Two mobile suits have come out! Deploy Magella-Attacks at once!

Two mobile suits? Is one of them the white one, Garma?

Negative. Two ground assault models.

The white one hasn't come out.

Are these mutants really worth the Zeon Cross?

He's going to need help.

We can't let it escape now that we have it this low!

Amuro!

Why aren't you doing your duty?!

Why do you fight, Bright?

This is no time to be discussing philosophy! Now get up!

Please, just stop it. If you want the Gundam...

...in action so badly, why don't you pilot it?

What?! I would if I could! That goes without saying!

I didn't do it before just because I was able to.

You hit me...

Ensign Bright!

And what's wrong with me hitting you?!

Maybe giving you something to complain about will make you feel better!

Do you really think I'm that petty?!

That's twice! Even my dad never hit me!

Then he was too easy on you!

You can't be a real man without taking a few lumps!

I won't do it! Nobody's going to make me pilot the Gundam ever again!

Amuro, would you stop it?!

Get a hold of yourself! Stop whining, Amuro!

I'm going to the bridge!

Amuro, if you stay like this, you're nothing but a coward!

I thought your natural talent would let you beat Char!

Too bad I was wrong!

Char?

Bright!

Bright!

Amuro, the Gundam has an operator's manual, right?

I'll pilot the Gundam.

I hate people who can't take credit for what they've done!

If you can't admit that you're the only one who's...

...protected the White Base up till now, then you're not a man!

I...

Fraw Bow... You can't pilot the Gundam.

Amuro...

I may not like it, but I am a man.

Amuro, are you going? Amuro!

Damn you, Char!

My ammo!

There's more of them?!

Aye, sir! They've called in ground units as well!

Hitting us from above and below? Damn it!

Pull back! Retreat! No, shift position!

Idiots! What are you aiming at?!

Forward batteries, concentrate fire on the Magella-Attacks!

You aren't retreating?!

You want us to break out of here, don't you?

All right!

Ryu, these guys are just attacking us harder!

Where's Amuro and the Gundam?!

White Base, do you read? Please, send out the Gundam!

Don't panic. You can do it.

Thanks.

Good luck.

Hold down the fort!

Ryu, don 't get out so far!

They're pulling us in! Can't break free!

Course clear. Launch at once! And be careful, Amuro.

Right.

Which course is clear? Like the enemy isn't everywhere out there?!

Moving out!

I 'm falling!

Ryu, pull back! Let the Gundam handle them!

Go for it! Looks like they're trying to pick off Kai.

Amuro!

Why, you...!

More of them?!

All units! The white one's out! There are three total!

The Trojan Horse has three mobile suits!

Bring it down and we'll trap them all here!

The white one's come out?! Let's go!

Launch the Komusai! I want to help the Captain!

Sir!

Don't underestimate me! I'll show you...

...the Gundam isn't just some hand-to-hand combat suit!

That mobile suit's flying!

Gotcha!

One!

Amuro! The Gundam's fighting in midair!

What?!

It's incredible!

Sayla, open a radio link! Orders for the Guncannon and Guntank!

Have them support the Gundam so it isn't picked off when it lands!

Roger.

Hayato! Let's help Amuro in the Gundam!

Roger! We've gotta keep these Dopps from getting too low!

I just have to keep the Dopps away, right?!

Eight... Five... Two...

Those damned Feddies built a hell of a mobile suit!

Three!

Bright! Look how Amuro's fighting!

Yeah, that's one good thing about him.

He may not like it, but he hasn't forgotten how to fight.

Yes... That's just like Amuro!

Six, going for seven!

Seven!

The squadron leader?

You monster! Die! Die!

What...?

Gaw! Separate the mobile suits from the Trojan Horse!

If we can lure them inside the Gaw's firing range...

...we can blow them apart!

Komusai closing on the Gundam!

What?!

Isn't the Red Comet's Zaku on that one?!

And the Gundam dropped its beam rifle!

Send out the spare!

Gundam! Amuro! Do you read?

We're launching a rifle to you! Catch it!

It should be recharged!

Huh? What?

We're launching you a rifle! The Red Comet's coming!

A Zaku descending! It's Char!

What?!

Go!

Char's launched in a Zaku?!

There it is! Grab it, Gundam!

The power is failing!

Amuro, pull back!

The White Base will launch missiles to cover you!

Pull back, Amuro! Gundam!

No...

The Dopps and Magella- Attacks are falling back!

Don't get hit!

Roger.

Damned Trojan Horse!

Char, do you read me?

Y es, Garma.

I 'm back on the Gaw. You 'd better pull back as well.

We need to rethink our strategy against them.

It looks that way.

Come back. We'll plan this together.

Roger.

You, in the mobile suit! Do you read me?

Maintain that altitude and return to the White Base!

Don't chase the enemy too far!

Who is she? She seems to know all about us.

I'll be taking 35 people with me from Lieutenant Reed's...

...Salamis crew and the wounded refugees.

As for the White Base and its mobile suits...

...I've no further orders and am to leave them here.

General Revil has also ordered me to bring back copies of your battle reports...

...uptill now.

But Lieutenant Matilda, I don't understand.

Why are we being left in this situation?

Well... General Revil thinks that...

...you've been fighting about as well as regular troops.

The Federation Forces are in bad shape right now.

I'm only here on General Revil's orders.

Jaburo isn't involved.

But when will we be resupplied next?

I don't know.

If you escape to the west, we may be able to get you supplies. Maybe.

Just remember there's someone in the Forces who's looking out for you.

Lieutenant Matilda...

If you hadn't fought so well, we might have been killed, too.

Thank you. You may be some kind of esper.

Oh, no...

Hang in there.

Yes, ma'am.

Char.

Is that you, Garma?

I wanted to thank you for saving my life.

How formal. So, what do we do about the Trojan Horse?

I've a plan underway.

Nothing would make me happier than to help you out.

Thanks. You're worth a hundred regular troops.

With your help, I'll prove my worth to my sister Kycilia.

Perhaps, but you shouldn't be so concerned about her.

Char.

Yes?

I'll see you tonight.

So, parties are part of our occupation policy?

And if your father, Sovereign Degwin, ever comes to Earth...

...it would be our pleasure to serve him in any way we can.

Pardon me. I'll catch up with you again later.

Oh, Garma always looks so gallant.

- He's wonderful. - I think I'm going to faint!

I'm drowning in suck-ups!

They'd be terrified if they knew about the Trojan Horse and its mobile suits.

The problem is that the area we have to cover is too large...

...to form a task force to go after them.

Garma, who's that big-wig over there?

Oh, no, I'm sure there are other ways to do it.

Eschönbach, the former mayor.

He hates Zeon, but stayed to help the people here.

Looks Iike a stubborn man.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss lcelina Eschönbach.

If you'll excuse me.

So, he said he won't let his daughter marry...

...the son of the Zeon leader, eh?

Yes.

I figured that's what your father would say.

I don't care about Zeon or the Federation.

To me, you're simply Garma. I love you.

Icelina...

Even if it means betraying my father, I want to be with you always.

Even I cannot oppose my father or all of Zeon.

Don't worry. I have a chance to get the Feddies' secrets now.

Once I've done that, father will have to listen to me.

Garma...

And if he doesn't, I'll give up being a Zeon.

Garma...

Captain!

What is it?!

- Oh, am l...? - Yes, you are! What is it?!

Sir! The Trojan Horse has been detected at point S3!

What?!

If it breaks through the final defense line...

...we'll lose it in Feddie airspace!

Just as I planned. We have a defense line there, too!

I'll head there in my personal mobile air unit!

Inform Commander Char! We're moving out!

Sir!

Garma!

Once we've stolen the Feddies' new weapons...

... I'll take them back to Zeon with you at my side.

Garma...

Looks like the Zeon don't want us leaving the city.

Yes, but if we don't...

Bright! Let me go out ahead and lead them away.

No, it won't do any good. It's too late.

We've picked up something on the sound detectors!

Enemy planes, approaching from the north!

Now we have no choice! I'll decoy them.

Then the White Base can escape out to sea.

No, even a decoy operation or escaping to the sea would...

A flare!

Ahead of us! I thought I saw a sports dome!

Uh, yeah, there is!

All right, it should fit. We'll hide the White Base in there!

Are you sure about this?

Amuro, stand by in the Gundam, Kai in the Guncannon...

...and Ryu and Hayato in the Guntank.

And remember, we're still carrying civilians on board!

Funny, I thought I was still one of them.

All hands will stand by at alert level 1.

And, until I say otherwise, no one is to make a sound!

Please, stay in your rooms!

Get her ready!

Come about 1 80 degrees.

Aye, sir. Coming about 1 80 degrees.

Turn that light out! It's just making it worse!

Where's his mother?

There we go. Don't cry.

My baby!

I'm sorry! I just left for a moment!

Oh, honey, forgive me.

Patrol Luggun! Haven't you found the Trojan Horse yet?!

They're still in the city. Look harder!

A little carpet bombing should drive the rats from their hole.

All units! Prep roller shifts and commence bombing!

- Fraw! - It's okay. It's okay.

We'll be lucky if we're not hit!

- Let me go! - Miss, wait!

None of you understand!

Miss, if you go now you'll only die!

Miss, no! Your father is calling for you!

How dare you do this to me!

Miss, please!

I won't! There's someplace I have to go! Let me go!

My father will never understand!

That you want to marry the son of the Zeon leader?

You have no right to deny me my freedom!

I have a right to decide how to live my life!

No, you don't!

Don't let her have the keys to the jet!

Yes, sir.

Garma...

Well?! Has the Trojan Horse shown itself yet?!

No, sir. Not yet.

Damn it, where are they?! Why won't they come out?!

They're starting to get the hang of combat.

Looks like I'll have to go down there and find them.

No, wait. That's my job as your subordinate.

You'll do it?

Of course. You're my commander.

For now, but you serve directly under my brother, Dozle.

It should be me.

You're being hastier than usual.

You shouldn't let love for a woman allow you to get sloppy. Calm down.

Go to it.

Am I getting sloppy because of lcelina? I'm in control!

Zaku AMBAC system set for drop. Standing by.

Char.

Inform me as soon as you've found the Trojan Horse or any mobile suits.

I'll finish them off with the Gaw.

Thanks for coming to see me off. I'll do what you want this time.

Good luck, Garma.

Good luck, Char.

May the glory of victory be yours.

Bright, three Zakus are coming down and are headed this way.

Right. Amuro, do you hear me?

Lure those Zakus out in front of the White Base.

Roger.

Moving out!

I hate to trick my own men, but...

The Trojan Horse must have sent out its mobile suits already.

They found me!

Where are they? They're close...

It's Char! I'd better not get hit by that thing!

Damned mobile suit! He's gotten better!

Not bad, mobile suit. Trying to lead us away.

Which means the Trojan Horse must be behind us.

I see... A good plan!

I've been waiting, Char.

The mobile suit's retreating! The Horse must be up ahead!

Can you follow it?

We will.

Open beam cannons! All units, stand by to attack!

Bright, those enemy planes are moving off!

Right! Mirai, take your position and...

-...prepare to attack! - Aye, sir.

Guntank, Guncannon, and White Base batteries!

Target the enemy craft and prepare to fire in ten seconds!

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

FlRE!

What's happening?!

We're being fired at from behind!

From behind?!

It's the Trojan Horse! The Trojan Horse is behind us!

Dammit... Higher! Take us higher!

We can't!

Then bring us about 180 degrees!

I'll ram the Gaw into the Trojan Horse!

Garma, if you can hear me, blame this on the misfortune of your birth!

What?! Misfortune?

Yes. Misfortune.

Char, what are you...?!

You were a good friend, but your father's to blame!

Char... You set me up!

Damn it...

I am a man of the Zabi family! I will not die in vain!

One enemy unit has set course for our ship!

What?! Jesus, he's on a kamikaze run!

- Mirai, higher! - Aye, sir!

Take us higher!

All hands, get down!

GLORY TO THE PRINCIPALITY OF ZEON!!!

We made it...

Completely destroyed. Good God... No, I appreciate you telling me.

Yes, I see. Thank you. I'll tell my daughter.

Icelina!

Yes, Father.

Icelina... Garma has been killed in action.

Garma...

Garma...

Garma!

News of the death of Garma, the youngest son of its leader...

...Sovereign Degwin Sodo Zabi, soon reached the Principality of Zeon.

It's said that Sovereign Degwin received the news without a word.

His grief only revealed when he let his cane slip from his grasp.

He then ordered his eldest son, Gihren, to gather the family together.

Just as it was six months ago. No improvements at all!

We can't let Garma's death be in vain.

It would be a blot on the name of Zabi!

We won't let it be said that he died pointlessly!

Gihren, I only want Garma's death to be...

Sorry we're late, Father!

You both came sooner than expected.

Father, I'm sorry about this. You must be...

Too bad Garma had to die at the hands of a Federation mobile suit.

Gihren, I still don't believe it!

I half expect him to come walking in here right now!

Wars aren't won by fixating on the past, Dozle.

I know, but...

I was looking forward to the day when he'd be an admiral

...who could order me around.

I feel as Dozle does.

So please, Gihren...

...won't you pray for Garma's soul to rest in peace?

Know where Amuro is?

He said he was going to visit his mother.

Oh, was he in that Core-Fighter that left before?

He said his home's about 30 km east of here.

Huh! So, that rat's one of the elite, too.

Not everyone who lives on Earth is one of the elite.

He and his father were living out in space...

...and he hasn't seen his mother on Earth in a long time.

Anybody who has a home on Earth is elite in my book.

Looks like there've been a lot of air raids around here.

Are we safe?

I don't know. I hear there's guerrilla activity around here.

Bring on the booze!

Who are you?

This is my house!

What?!

Leave him alone!

But this little punk is...!

Damn, it's empty.

Sorry we're here without permission, but nobody was here when we came.

Nobody?!

Nope. It was abandoned.

Abandoned?!

Mom!

Mom!

" Mom! Mom! " Look, he doesn't believe me!

Probably died trying to get away from here.

- It was a helluva air raid. - Yeah, sure was!

You'll be lucky if you find her body.

If you don't want to be apart from Amuro, then come, too.

But, going into space...

Come see the Sides they're building. They're incredible!

I want to show them to Amuro.

I know, but...

But, I...

Forgive me, Amuro. I'll just never be able to live in space.

Please, pay me what you owe!

Pick it up!

Ma'am, don't do it! Don't pick it up!

Make those soldiers hand it to you!

Who the hell are you?!

That boy...!

- Say that again, punk! - You've got some nerve!

I said pick it up yourself!

Why, you...!

Pickitup!

Pick it up! Pick it up!

You little bastard!

What's a snot-nosed kid like you know about us?!

If we weren't in this town, the Zeeks would've taken it long ago!

Who do you think you are?!

Of course! That's Amuro, my daughter's friend!

Stop it! He's just a boy!

Oh, you want some, now?!

Here's your money back! Now, please, just go!

It was a terrible air raid, Amuro.

My God... Comilly's dead?

Not just my daughter. My husband died also.

It must be fate that I survived alone.

Have you seen your mother?

No.

Oh? She never wrote you? She volunteers at the refugee camp.

Wait, she's alive?!

Do you remember the church? That hill.

You and Comilly used to play there.

Thank you, ma'am!

Just be careful!

All hands, return to ship! Enemy planes detected!

Prepare for air attack!

- Bandits? - Y es, sir.

I 'm not reading a friendly I FF signal.

They're 1 0 km out over the ocean and headed towards us.

Should we launch the White Base, sir?

No, that'd only make us easier to spot.

You're right.

We'll have to bring them down...

...before we rendezvous with the Medea transport plane.

Aye, sir.

Core-Fighter, ready to launch!

Moving out!

What's that behind us?!

A fighter?!

Too slow!

Take us down!

Trying to run, huh?!

Fire! Fire!

Damn, and it's just a patrol plane!

There it is!

An airplane!

Isn't that a Federal Forces fighter?

It looks Iike one.

This could be trouble.

Wow, a real fighter! Cool!

Could you wait a second?

You're in the Federation Forces, right?

I don't know why you've come, but could you hide that fighter?

Why? I'm just...

Well, there's a Zeon frontline base near that mountain there.

They come here once a day to check us out.

You can do whatever you want here after it's hidden.

I understand.

Amuro. Amuro, is that you?

Amuro!

Mom...

Amuro!

Mom!

Amuro!

Mom!

I'm sorry, but the fighter...

Of course.

Amuro, go and hide it. We'll talk when you get back.

- Your son? - Yes.

So, the Zeon attacked the Side as well.

And you don't know what happened to your father?

The soldiers are coming back!

Don't move!

- What kind of fighter is that? - Dunno!

This is patrol group "Hot Dog. " Have spotted an enemy fighter.

Current position: NE, point 203. Altitude 3500...

Gotcha!

Now to finish you!

Damn, my oil's leaking!

Bright, they got my oil tank!

I damaged them, but they're getting away!

What? Can you confirm where they are?!

No, not like this.

Marker, can you track that plane's escape route?

Just that it's headed southwest.

Towards Amuro's hometown...

We should contact him. Ryu! Can you get back here?

Yeah, but...

- Amuro will take care of it. - Sorry about this.

Sayla! Send Amuro the alert signal!

Aye, sir.

Okay, folks! Shut up and don't move!

We got a report of an enemy fighter landing in this area.

You want to tell us about it? Anybody know anything?

Do you know about the airplane, kid? Why don't you tell me about it?

I don't know anything!

Obviously not in my fan club.

I'll give you some chocolate.

I don't want it! I want my mom and dad back!

Ooh, I'm scared.

Guess I keep my chocolate, then.

What was that?!

Why do they have to call me now?!

I said, what was that noise?! Now talk!

I'm eighty-nine years old.

You there! Who's sleeping in that bed?!

N- No one. Just somebody who's hurt.

Let me see him!

He's my son! He's hurt!

If you got nothing to hide, then lemme see him...

Amuro, wait!

Amuro!

Amuro!

Amuro...

The Zeon will blame us for this. What'll we do?

Those men could have children of their own...

...andyoushotatthem?!

How could you...?

What, you'd rather they'd have shot me?!

This is war!

I know... I know, but... Shooting at another human being...!

Mom... You...

You don't...

Iove me, do you?

That's not true!

There isn't a mother who doesn't love her son!

Liar!

Amuro!

Amuro, is anything wrong?

No.

All right. We have an emergency.

A Zeon patrol plane is headed your way. Be careful.

The White Base is launching and will rendezvous with you!

Roger.

Amuro!

I didn't raise you to be like this!

Please, go back to the way I remember you.

This is... This is war!

I 'm ashamed you're my son!

There it is.

Everyone's just thinking about themselves!

I'm not... I'm not doing this because I want to!

I don't care if there's a base or not!

Damn, it didn't make it back!

Scramble anti-aircraft weaponry! Launch the Dopps!

I didn't hit them!

No, you don't!

The Medea! That's right, it's time for it to rendezvous with the White Base!

The White Base never should have hid near the coastline!

Was it because his father raised him?

He wasn't like this before...

He wouldn't have hurt a fly!

Those precious supplies!

Have that Core-Fighter pull back!

Give me that!

Who else?! Who else?!

Core-Fighter, pull back! It's dangerous to hang around here!

We're retreating?

So, how do we handle repairing the White Base and taking in the civilians?

We'll move the rendezvous 200 km north.

Damned amateurs. Nothing but trouble!

You don't want to stay?

I do, but I have friends on that ship.

Is this your mother?

Thank you for taking care of Amuro.

We owe our lives to Amuro's skill.

Really...?

It's true. His actions today were exemplary.

You think so?

What will you do, Amuro?

We're about to leave.

Yes, sir.

Stay well, Mother.

If you'll excuse us. We'll look after your son.

Amuro...

Course clear!

Go on! We'll rendezvous with the Medea!

We should have the engine repairs finished by dawn.

It's okay. Now, then, you had a question for me?

Why aren't we being disciplined? And why are we still getting supplies?

According to your battle reports,

this ship is doing much better than expected.

And it looks like they're planning a major operation in Europe.

They've decided to leave the White Base in your hands.

Have you ever heard of Newtypes?

A Newtype? What's that?

The Zeon are apparently researching the answer to that question.

They say they're a little like espers. People with good intuition.

Hm, if we had people like that, we'd have wiped out...

...all the Zeon in the area a long time ago.

But you've managed to survive, Lieutenant J.G. Bright.

Lieutenant junior grade? Me?!

What do you want, Amuro?!

Nothing.

You're supposed to be asleep!

Yes, sir.

Kid!

Lieutenant Bright is correct. Sleeping is a pilot's job, too.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll remember that.

Where were you?

In the toilet.

The toilet's that way.

So what?!

Something wrong?

Nothing. Haro, come.

What's with her?

Amuro, have you eaten yet?

Amuro, have you eaten yet?!

Sir? Not yet, sir.

We're going to be cutting through Zeon-patrolled territory.

Stand by in the Gundam!

Aye, sir!

Lieutenant Bright, this is Lieutenant Matilda's escape route.

This is the White Base's. Both courses are clear.

So, we cross the ocean and head for Europe?

That's the plan.

I should be back in Zeon in two months, Father.

But, before that, I want to achieve one decisive triumph.

I don't want the people to laugh at me...

... for being made an admiral simply because I 'm your son.

Well, then. I look forward to the day I may see you again.

Are you still here?

I know how you feel, Highness.

But you still have duties to fulfill as the sovereign.

Very well.

ZABl! ZABl! ZABl!

So, what's so interesting?

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

Oh? Let me see.

I think it's the Trojan Horse.

Are you thinking this is a chance for us to avenge Lord Garma?

Don't be hasty, Hamon.

Where they are is pretty far from our base.

We have to calculate the distance.

Our Zanzibar should have no problem...

...but our escorts are just re-entry capsules.

True.

So, do we just let them go?

My orders are to avenge Lord Garma.

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

But we're re-entering now. It's impossible.

I thought you hated men who let opportunities slip away.

Amuro, I'm coming in.

More repairs?

Yeah.

Amuro, you look sick. Amuro.

Do I?

What is it?

The Gundam's auxiliary computer.

Eat it before it gets cold, okay?

Sure.

Amuro, your brainwave levels are falling. Amuro!

I 'm fine, Haro.

Haro, don't bother him. Come.

See you. I'll be back soon for the dishes.

Oh, I'd better eat.

And where is Char?

He probably went back to where he came from. Right, Dozle?

I see.

Yes, ma'am. At once.

Intensify port-side fire!

They're right over us! Should l enter the clouds to starboard?

That'll take us into the storm!

What was that?!

Maybe it's a new Zeon weapon!

Don't worry! No matter what they use, the Gundam will protect us!

Lieutenant! It's a new Feddie weapon!

Don't panic! They call this "lightning" here on Earth!

Darling...

I've seen this before when I came to Earth. Relax, Hamon.

Although it is rather scary when seen from this close!

Is there any place we can land and lose the enemy?!

Aye, sir.

Open the infra-red sensor, please.

Begin laser sensor terrain scan.

There! Confirm heading and entry angle!

- Can you do it, Mirai? - Aye!

White Base speed: zero.

Right! Well done, Mirai.

Gundam! Guncannon! Guntank! Stand by to launch!

Deploy our anti-aircraft batteries!

Amuro!

I don't believe it! You're still here?!

Amuro, hey!

Amuro!

Wake up! We have to launch!

Ryu?

Wake up! You're no good to anyone like this!

Ryu...

Now get up!

All right.

You don't have to hit me.

Come on, overshoot us...

You're sure it's them?

Yes, sir. The magnetic signature's almost off the scale!

Signal flare FW!

Lt. Ramba Ral! We've sighted a signal flare at 7 o'clock!

You're sure it isn't lightning?

- Yes, sir! - Right! Emergency turn!

Enemy vessel, closing!

Open the main guns! Gundam, Guncannon, stand by to launch!

Shoot blind if you have to, just fire missiles!

Ah, the infamous Trojan Horse. Start collecting data.

I think I prefer seeing you like this, about to launch into battle...

...to when you command from in here.

So do l. I think this role suits me better. Until later...

And leave my men alone!

Acous! Cozun!

All set?

- Yes, Lieutenant! - All set!

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

Even if the enemy mobile suits come out, don't pursue them too far!

Roger!

Hamon, we're going out!

I expect success.

Don't be impatient, Hamon.

Sorry! We can't stay in this sector any longer!

Well done. Return to base. We'll be joining you shortly.

Roger! May the battle be a swift one!

What's going on? Those Komusais are leaving.

We've got our chance!

Gundam! Guncannon! What's wrong?!

- Bright! - What?

Amuro's got new-recruit burn-out.

He's what?! Send him out!

We can't fight those Zakus otherwise!

Cure him with some action, huh?

Amuro, get going! You gotta launch!

Amuro, you're launching! All set?

Amuro! Do you read? You're locked on the catapult.

We're about to launch you!

Huh? Sure thing, Sayla.

I didn't hear your answer!

I said sure thing. Better launch, huh?

Never mind! Sayla, launch the Gundam!

Amuro, snap out of it!

What the...?!

Ryu! Kai! Give Amuro some cover!

All right, I'm going! Lay off the gunfire!

Uh-oh.

Acous! A cracker!

What's...?

Why, you...!

What the...?!

What?!

Another one's come out!

Is that a mobile suit, too?!

Hayato, hurry! Give him some cover fire!

I'm worried about Amuro!

I can do this! I can! But what's that new mobile suit?!

Amuro, don't get in too close! Remember that weapon!

No, you don't!

This isn't a Zaku you're fighting, pal! Not a Zaku!

This thing's different! More armor and power than a Zaku!

Amuro, get up!

Acous! Cozun! Fall back! We're returning to the ship!

Roger!

They're in! Get 'em locked down, now!

Tell the bridge to activate the blinders and withdraw at once!

What the...?!

They ran...?

Or did they let us go?

We have lost a hero!

But does this mean we are finished?!

No! We are only beginning!

How is it the Principality of Zeon has fought on until now...

... when our strength is only 1/30th that of the Earth Federation?!

Citizens! I say it is because what we fight for is just!

Damned Gihren. He's broadcasting this live around the world.

Amuro, you should see this, too.

Y- Y es, sir.

For 50 years, a handful of elite...

... have extended the Earth Federation's control out to space!

How many times has the Federation quashed our demands for freedom?

God will not abandon the Principality of Zeon...

... so long as each one of us is fighting for our freedom!

My younger brother,

Garma Zabi who was beloved by you all, is dead!

Why?!

Because he was a stupid kid.

History demands that we, the chosen nation...

... must dominate this new age!

Bartender.

I 'll get that for you. Okay with you?

The Royal Guard, right?

Is it so obvious?

I could sense it. You're one of Kycilia's men?

Well done, Commander.

Zeon Deikun said that the rebirth of man would begin...

... with us, those who live in space!

Amuro, are you alright?

I know I've been worrying you. I 'm okay now.

Hang in there.

Thanks.

All of you have lost fathers and sons...

... to the Federation 's senseless resistance!

Keep this sadness and hatred alive within you!

That is what Garma died to show us!

If we concentrate this hatred we share and smash the Federal Forces...

... 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!

My people! My people, transform your grief into rage and arise!

Never forget we, the citizens of Zeon, are the chosen!

We, the superior race, shall save mankind!

Sieg Zeon!

Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!

This is what we're fighting?

What's he talking about?!

He says that when all he wants is to create a Zabi dictatorship?!

Dictator...
