    Enemy formation is breaking down further.
[00:34] ---
    Iwo Jima hit! Still returning fire!
[00:37] ---
    Admiral Dozle! My ship is lost!
[00:40] ---
    Good hunting, sir!
[00:42] ---
    I won't forget your deaths, not ever!
[00:47] ---
    Don't let the valiant struggle
    of our rear guard be in vain!
[00:50] ---
    Get us turned around!
[00:52] ---
    Set target! The enemy's
    main force! The Revil Fleet!

    Episode 11
    The Battle of Loum
[02:40] ---
    Flagship Valkyrie appears
    to have changed course.
[02:43] ---
    Check again to confirm.
[02:44] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:45] ---
    Could it be a retreat maneuver?
[02:48] ---
    We've won.
[02:49] ---
    There is still a chance
    that they might regroup.
[02:51] ---
    Then we'll treat this as a pursuit battle.
    Send out our fastest advance groups.
[02:57] ---
    Yes, sir.
[02:58] ---
    2nd cruiser squadron, accelerating.
[03:00] ---
    4th frigate squadron, accelerating.
[03:06] ---
    Sir! The Tianem Fleet has engaged the enemy!
[03:14] ---
    ZEON FORCES FLAGSHIP, GREAT DEGWIN
[03:18] ---
    They are beginning to change
    to operation trajectory.
[03:23] ---
    Tianem Fleet and Revil Fleet
    have not altered course.
[03:27] ---
    Changing course in the face of the enemy?
[03:30] ---
    Is this part of the strategy?
[03:33] ---
    TIANEM FLEET FLAGSHIP, TITAN
[03:34] ---
    Encoded message from Tianem Fleet!
[03:35] ---
    They've lost the Dozle Fleet!
[03:38] ---
    They've what?!
[03:40] ---
    Impossible.
[03:41] ---
    Minovsky particle density climbing further.
[03:45] ---
    It's like they're hiding in fog.
[03:48] ---
    Do we report this to HQ?
[03:50] ---
    Shall I establish a laser comm link?
[03:52] ---
    We don't want the enemy to know
    that we've lost sight of them.
[03:56] ---
    Where did they vanish to?
[03:59] ---
    Mr. Ryu, the engagement zone is dead ahead!
[04:02] ---
    It's in an area ranging from
    10 klicks to 100 klicks.
[04:06] ---
    I can't use radar, so please
    handle the visual scan.
[04:10] ---
    What, we're counting on my eyeballs?
[04:13] ---
    Minovsky particle density is still high.
[04:17] ---
    My eyesight is bad, even with glasses.
[04:19] ---
    Hm, I think I might see something...
[04:24] ---
    Don't think it's debris... Still...
[04:27] ---
    I have visual confirmation, too!
[04:29] ---
    Multiple nozzle plumes! Must be
    the backside of the friendly fleet.
[04:33] ---
    It looks like they've
    arrived at the front line.
[04:36] ---
    Hang on...
[04:37] ---
    Is it me, or is something not right?
[04:39] ---
    Yes, they're too close... Their bearing, too!
[04:41] ---
    Vector analysis!
[04:42] ---
    On it, sir!
[04:43] ---
    Let's see... Approaching from our 2 o'clock...
[04:48] ---
    Approaching?!
[04:53] ---
    It's the enemy!
[04:53] ---
    This is Duckbill! Falcon, come in!
[04:56] ---
    We're right in the middle of the enemy!
[04:57] ---
    This is Duckbill!
[04:58] ---
    Crap, I can't get through to Falcon!
[05:05] ---
    Unidentified craft has crossed our course.
[05:08] ---
    It's most likely an enemy recon craft!
[05:10] ---
    What's it doing way out here?
[05:13] ---
    We stick to the plan!
[05:16] ---
    Hold your course!
[05:23] ---
    The shooting's completely stopped.
[05:27] ---
    ll units! Load initial rounds!
[05:29] ---
    Check that safeties are engaged!
[05:34] ---
    So far, so good, I'd say!
[06:00] ---
    No sign of anything?
[06:01] ---
    I wonder what this is...
[06:03] ---
    Let me have a look.
[06:05] ---
    If it's debris, it sure doesn't
    match what's behind it.
[06:08] ---
    Those are... They're ships!
[06:12] ---
    This is right wing! Bridge!
[06:23] ---
    There it is, the main Federation force!
[06:28] ---
    You're certain they're ships?
[06:30] ---
    What does CIC's intel say?
[06:39] ---
    As you were.
[06:41] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:42] ---
    So, what is our status?
[06:44] ---
    Sir. We are currently making
    for the engagement zone,
[06:47] ---
    and the fleet's acceleration
    is holding steady.
[06:55] ---
    Status of Tianem's Second Fleet?
[06:57] ---
    Sir. After engaging the enemy,
    our forces have the upper hand.
[07:02] ---
    Also, CIC relayed a report from a recon
    unit a few moments ago that said...
[07:09] ---
    Bow down before me, God!
[07:16] ---
    Damage to 5th battleship squadron!
[07:19] ---
    What?
[07:20] ---
    I see fire!
[07:22] ---
    There's another flash!
[07:23] ---
    That's ship #2, the Forrestal!
[07:30] ---
    This will change the course of history!
[07:33] ---
    The fire appears to be
    spreading inside the ship!
[07:35] ---
    Enemy bearing?
[07:37] ---
    Four o'clock, according to passive sensors.
[07:41] ---
    Deploy cruiser squadron towards 4 o'clock!
[07:44] ---
    16th cruiser squadron,
    accelerating! Bearing 2-0-7!
[07:51] ---
    Encoded message from Tianem Fleet!
[07:54] ---
    They've lost the Dozle Fleet!
[07:56] ---
    They've what?!
[07:57] ---
    Just before you arrived, Admiral,
[07:59] ---
    there was a report from a recon craft that
    claimed to have spotted enemy ships.
[08:03] ---
    Send out air defense squadron!
[08:04] ---
    Roger that.
[08:05] ---
    Flagship to air defense squadron...
[08:05] ---
    Prepare for anti-air battle!
[08:07] ---
    Wing to bridge!
[08:09] ---
    Direct call from lookout!
[08:10] ---
    Ships spotted! Can't identify!
[08:13] ---
    Shall I ping their IFF?
[08:14] ---
    Also getting emergency
    messages from consort ships!
[08:17] ---
    What's that?!
[08:18] ---
    Multiple ships, 12 o'clock!
[08:21] ---
    IFF unknown. They are not friendly forces!
[08:25] ---
    Target spotted! Revil's main force!
[08:28] ---
    All ahead, steady as she goes!
[08:30] ---
    All ships, full combat speed! Attack!
[08:34] ---
    All weapons, fire at will!
[08:41] ---
    Turn to port!
[08:55] ---
    FIRE!
[09:02] ---
    Keep firing until you run dry!
[09:04] ---
    We're gonna blow a hole
    right through their ugly mugs
[09:07] ---
    and put 'em down for good!
[09:43] ---
    Port bow and midsection, heavy damage!
[09:46] ---
    Fires aren't going out!
[09:50] ---
    CIC, please respond! CIC!
[09:53] ---
    No response from CIC! They must have been hit!
[09:57] ---
    Give the order to turn around!
[09:58] ---
    The enemy is coming around for another pass!
[10:00] ---
    Fleet, prepare to change course!
[10:02] ---
    A rat will bite a cat when cornered, huh?
[10:06] ---
    We were bitten, all right. Badly.
[10:09] ---
    Each squadron, form a column!
    We still have the edge in numbers!
[10:13] ---
    Port quarter hit!
[10:16] ---
    It's coming from below us!
[10:17] ---
    It's too fast!
[10:19] ---
    These Zeons are fearsome...
[10:21] ---
    Fires, starboard side!
[10:22] ---
    Five o'clock! I see it!
[10:31] ---
    Swap magazines while we're coming around!
[10:42] ---
    Damage report!
[10:47] ---
    Are those... people?
[10:51] ---
    No!
[10:53] ---
    They're mobile suits!
[10:56] ---
    These are mobile suits?!
[11:05] ---
    1-0-8, you are clear to launch!
[11:07] ---
    Launch clearance confirmed! Launch!
[11:10] ---
    1-0-9, ready to launch!
[11:12] ---
    Stream Leader to Stream
    Master, launch all birds!
[12:00] ---
    Three rounds left, hm? Can I take down two more?
[12:08] ---
    This is Duckbill,
    requesting landing clearance!
[12:11] ---
    This is Duckbill! Falcon, come in!
[12:15] ---
    We've already lost this many ships?
[12:18] ---
    This is Falcon Control.
[12:20] ---
    Falcon, this is Duckbill 3-0-6!
    Request landing instructions!
[12:24] ---
    Duckbill, unable to grant landing clearance!
[12:27] ---
    Say again?!
[12:28] ---
    Launching our attackers
    has priority right now!
[12:31] ---
    Land on another ship!
[12:36] ---
    Portside hangar hit!
[12:36] ---
    Hey! Falcon Leader! This is Duckbill!
[12:40] ---
    Falcon Leader, come in!
[12:42] ---
    - Crap...
[12:42] ---
    Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
[12:54] ---
    Enemy rockets closing in
    from starboard, 4 o'clock!
[12:56] ---
    Hard to port!
[13:08] ---
    Third wave incoming!
[13:36] ---
    There she is!
[13:37] ---
    It's the Ananke!
[13:40] ---
    Their flagship, huh?
[13:44] ---
    So that's Revil's ship...
[13:46] ---
    We're gonna hit it!
[13:47] ---
    Yeah!
[13:56] ---
    You're going after the bridge, Mash?
[13:58] ---
    One more time!
[14:09] ---
    Damage report!
[14:11] ---
    Fire in the engine room!
    They're having trouble putting it out!
[14:13] ---
    We have three mobile suits on us!
[14:15] ---
    Admiral!
[14:16] ---
    Primary power holding steady!
[14:18] ---
    Our engine has also been hit!
    Prepare to transfer flag!
[14:22] ---
    All hands, abandon ship immediately!
[14:24] ---
    Stand down from fire control!
    Prepare to abandon ship!
[14:25] ---
    I repeat, all hands abandon ship immediately!
[14:27] ---
    All hands, abandon ship at once!
[14:37] ---
    Go get 'em, Mash!
[14:39] ---
    Pipe down and watch this!
[14:40] ---
    I'll finish them off!
[15:21] ---
    Those are nice and small.
    They're more challenging targets!
[15:31] ---
    Hold your fire, take a closer look.
[15:33] ---
    That's the admiral's flag.
[16:17] ---
    A red mobile suit...
[16:19] ---
    It's Lt. Char!
[16:23] ---
    That jerk!
[16:24] ---
    Is that Char?
[16:26] ---
    That's triple normal speed...
[16:28] ---
    The guy's a veritable red comet.
[16:40] ---
    Where... am I?
[16:44] ---
    Oh... I'm in space.
[16:48] ---
    I thought my number was up...
[16:51] ---
    People die and become
    trash at the drop of a hat.
[16:56] ---
    More trash is coming to join me.
[17:00] ---
    Hey, Four-eyes! Four-eyes!
[17:30] ---
    He took out a cruiser with
    a single bazooka rocket?
[17:33] ---
    How in the world can I compete against that?
[17:38] ---
    Lt. Char!
[17:40] ---
    Chief Petty Officer Cozun.
[17:42] ---
    I have a spare magazine, sir.
    Shall I top you off?
[17:46] ---
    You should focus on your
    own glory instead of mine.
[17:49] ---
    No, sir, I was merely--
[17:51] ---
    You were one of Lt. Ramba Ral's men, weren't you?
[17:53] ---
    Y-Yes, sir...
[17:56] ---
    Work hard enough to do the part of
    the Lieutenant, who was unable to join us.
[18:20] ---
    Congratulations.
[18:24] ---
    What a grand victory for our forces.
    Please accept my sincere congratulations.
[18:28] ---
    We have the Supreme Commander's
    masterful leadership to thank.
[18:33] ---
    I failed to recognize your brilliance.
[18:36] ---
    I wasn't expecting to hear such
    lavish praise coming from you.
[18:40] ---
    This will secure us the quick
    settlement we desired.
[18:44] ---
    The peace talks are sure to go in our favor.
[18:49] ---
    What are you prattling on about?
[18:51] ---
    This was but the first step
    on the road to victory.
[18:55] ---
    We mustn't allow the fighting to end
[18:57] ---
    until we achieve our ultimate triumph!
[19:02] ---
    I had no idea that you still
    harbored such thoughts, Brother.
[19:05] ---
    Do you not know the expression "Adapt
    to meet changing circumstances," Kycilia?
[19:10] ---
    If I might ask you something?
[19:13] ---
    What is it?
[19:15] ---
    The Sovereign's ship, the Great
    Degwin, is out by herself, exposed.
[19:22] ---
    Father wished it so.
[19:25] ---
    The troops are inspired, and he is able
    to witness our historic victory firsthand.
[19:29] ---
    I expect he is most pleased.
[19:32] ---
    Hypothetically,
[19:34] ---
    if the Tianem Fleet were prepared
    to sacrifice itself to attack,
[19:38] ---
    would the Sovereign be able to stop it?
[19:42] ---
    A needless concern.
[19:44] ---
    The corrupt bureaucrat
    soldiers of the Federation
[19:47] ---
    do not possess the reckless
    courage to attempt such a thing.
[19:49] ---
    But if they did, hypothetically,
    what would happen?
[19:54] ---
    Need I answer that?
[19:58] ---
    No.
[20:00] ---
    This concludes the summation
    of the losses suffered by the enemy fleet.
[20:02] ---
    Dozle!
[20:04] ---
    Amazing! It's a complete victory!
[20:07] ---
    Our forces are magnificent!
[20:10] ---
    It is not over yet, Garma!
[20:13] ---
    If the Federation were to send in their
    Tianem Fleet, the one closest to the front,
[20:19] ---
    the Zeon homeland would
    be as good as defenseless.
[20:25] ---
    If they adopt a "lose the battle
    to win the war" strategy...
[20:33] ---
    TIANEM FLEET FLAGSHIP, TITAN
[20:36] ---
    Enemy ships, dead ahead.
    We have them on optical sensors as well!
[20:40] ---
    The large one is Gwazine-class.
[20:42] ---
    It is likely the Great
    Degwin, the sovereign's flagship.
[20:46] ---
    The enemy might have
    overcommitted to the Dozle Fleet
[20:49] ---
    to the point that they must
    send out even their flagship.
[20:53] ---
    If we can get past those,
    we'll be on their doorstep.
[20:56] ---
    If we strike at the Zeon homeland,
    we might be able to force a surrender.
[20:59] ---
    Admiral, our fleet has only
    sustained light losses!
[21:05] ---
    We can't.
[21:10] ---
    We will not mount a charge.
[21:12] ---
    Admiral, why not?
[21:14] ---
    This battle has already been decided.
[21:17] ---
    But Admiral!
[21:19] ---
    Our most pressing duty is to aid the fleeing
    Revil Fleet by covering their retreat.
[21:24] ---
    All ships, come about!
[21:26] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:27] ---
    Attention, all ships! Come about in turns!
[21:29] ---
    Prepare to come about!
[21:30] ---
    Laser comm link established!
[21:31] ---
    Confirm engine pressure!
[21:32] ---
    Course is clear!
[21:33] ---
    We are not yet defeated... Not yet.
[21:53] ---
    The Tianem Fleet has turned around
    at a distance of 4,000 kilometers ahead!
[21:57] ---
    We did it! A complete victory!
[22:00] ---
    This means that we've truly
    won now, right, Father?
[22:03] ---
    Next time, I'll fight, too!
    Order me to do anything!
[22:07] ---
    I'm a soldier of the Principality, too!
[22:09] ---
    Garma.
[22:12] ---
    You are still young. Rather, still immature.
[22:17] ---
    You do not understand
    how horrible war truly is.
[22:22] ---
    Take care to never act rashly.
[22:27] ---
    Send the following order to Dozle!
[22:29] ---
    Admiral Revil has surrendered,
    so he is to be extended every courtesy!
[22:37] ---
    There is a ship returning fire at 10 o'clock!
[22:39] ---
    Turn to port!
[22:41] ---
    All ahead, full speed! Open fire!
[22:45] ---
    Magellan-class at 0-3-8!
[22:47] ---
    Continue firing!
[22:51] ---
    Direct hit! Direct hit!
[22:53] ---
    Enemy battleship line collapsing!
[22:54] ---
    Minovsky particles still at combat density!
[22:55] ---
    Heavy damage to Magellan-class confirmed!
[22:56] ---
    Crew has begun to abandon ship!
[22:58] ---
    It's nothing personal.
[23:01] ---
    This is the fate of the vanquished.
[23:07] ---
    Hold your fire!
[23:11] ---
    A moment of silence for the many soldiers
    of outer space who now breathe their last!
