Autonomous Republic of Zeon
Space Defense Military Academy
**[00:10] ---**
What are you doing?! Pull it together!
**[00:21] ---**
Nice shot!
**[00:22] ---**
Awesome!
**[00:35] ---**
Whoa...
**[00:43] ---**
Was he that athletic before?
**[00:48] ---**
Another in the ten-ring!
**[00:49] ---**
Wow!
**[00:56] ---**
Shouldn't you be focusing
on the target and not me?

Episode 5
Char and Garma
**[02:36] ---**
So these are Garma's grades, eh?
**[02:39] ---**
Academics, A. Military
and Physical, only so-so.
**[02:42] ---**
I shouldn't be surprised.
He doesn't share my physical strength.
**[02:48] ---**
N-No, sir!
**[02:49] ---**
This Char boy is impressive,
though. A's across the board.
**[02:54] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[02:55] ---**
Eyeground pigment abnormality, huh?
**[03:04] ---**
Char, what's wrong with your eyes?
**[03:07] ---**
Cosmic ray damage.
**[03:09] ---**
They tell me I'll go blind
if I don't wear a visor.
**[03:12] ---**
Oh, I'm...
**[03:15] ---**
...really sorry to hear that.
**[03:20] ---**
Something wrong?
**[03:21] ---**
No, forget it.
**[03:33] ---**
That isn't Char! I'm sure of it!
**[03:37] ---**
Side 3 Extra Banchi, Dark Colony
**[03:40] ---**
A surprise inspection?! Crap!
**[03:44] ---**
This is bad...
**[03:49] ---**
So, this is what I've heard
so much about, Dozle?
**[03:53] ---**
W-We've got the arms
moving great now! Also- -
**[03:58] ---**
The decision's been made.
**[04:00] ---**
The MS Project is cancelled.
**[04:03] ---**
Y-You can't! Not after we've come so far!
**[04:07] ---**
You've come so far,
and it still looks like this?
**[04:09] ---**
How could this work as a weapon
with a bare engine bolted to its back?!
**[04:13] ---**
Forget it! It's out of the question!
**[04:18] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[04:21] ---**
I'm Torenov Y. Minovsky,
technical advisor for this project.
**[04:27] ---**
These are the schematics
of my latest fusion reactor.
**[04:30] ---**
As you can see, it is a quantum
leap smaller than existing models,
**[04:34] ---**
and there is no impact on its output.
**[04:37] ---**
The Fluid Pulse System makes
use of Minovsky particles.
**[04:42] ---**
Using it smooths out the drive system
**[04:45] ---**
and makes active attitude control possible.
**[04:50] ---**
As you are aware,
**[04:51] ---**
Minovsky particles block the
propagation of electromagnetic waves
**[04:55] ---**
and inhibit radar and electronic circuits.
**[04:58] ---**
It is said that they will
change the face of warfare.
**[05:01] ---**
But more than that,
**[05:03] ---**
they will take the focus of combat away from
battleships and precision-guided weapons
**[05:08] ---**
and give warfare's starring
role to a new player.
**[05:16] ---**
Answer me this, then. When will it be ready?
**[05:19] ---**
Before the year is out, without fail.
**[05:22] ---**
Very well.
**[05:24] ---**
Dozle!
**[05:25] ---**
I rescind my earlier order!
Continue the project!
**[05:29] ---**
That's my brother!
**[05:31] ---**
We'll designate the model equipped
with this new system MS-03!
**[05:35] ---**
But don't miss that deadline!
**[05:38] ---**
Ten-hut!
**[05:41] ---**
We will now conduct a loaded march exercise!
**[05:44] ---**
The total weight of your backpack is 40 kg!
**[05:47] ---**
Traverse the course with it
and return by sundown!
**[05:53] ---**
This is brutal...
**[05:54] ---**
We have to do 30 km like this?
**[05:57] ---**
I'm a dead man...
**[06:03] ---**
You've reached Point A!
What's your name, cadet?
**[06:06] ---**
Char Aznable, dorm 3.
**[06:09] ---**
That was fast. Are you sure
you can keep up this pace?
**[06:12] ---**
Here's a second!
**[06:14] ---**
Who are you? State your name, cadet!
**[06:17] ---**
Garma Zabi, dorm 1!
**[06:19] ---**
Garma Zabi...
**[06:20] ---**
...passed.
**[06:23] ---**
Garma...
**[06:24] ---**
...Zabi?
**[06:29] ---**
Time for rainfall! Have
the cadets hole up and rest!
**[06:33] ---**
Rainfall will be 30 mm! That's a lot!
**[06:35] ---**
Bivouac and dig in tight!
**[06:42] ---**
They're really making it pour...
**[06:55] ---**
Come join me. It's nice and dry over here.
**[06:59] ---**
We still have 20 klicks to go.
**[07:01] ---**
If you catch a cold, you'll never make it.
**[07:04] ---**
Especially a spoiled kid like you.
**[07:07] ---**
Shut up!
**[07:09] ---**
Who are you calling a spoiled kid?
Don't order me around!
**[07:12] ---**
Have it your way.
**[07:14] ---**
I'll mind my own business.
**[08:35] ---**
Go on, laugh. I'm a real laugh riot, right?
**[08:38] ---**
I tried to get ahead of you,
and this is what it got me.
**[08:40] ---**
I'm the worst. I'm a
disgrace to the Zabi name!
**[08:44] ---**
Are you all right?
**[08:46] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[08:48] ---**
Don't lay a finger on me!
Touch me, and I'll kill you!
**[08:52] ---**
No, you'd be better off killing me...
**[08:55] ---**
I'm so pathetic I can't stand it.
**[09:26] ---**
What do you think?
**[09:29] ---**
Call it... your palace.
**[09:53] ---**
Garma's gone missing?!
**[09:55] ---**
He was neck and neck for the lead...
**[09:57] ---**
...and he made it up until point B!
**[09:59] ---**
LOOK FOR HIM!
**[10:01] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:01] ---**
Mobilize everyone you have and find him!
**[10:04] ---**
Ow!
**[10:06] ---**
I'd better splint it.
**[10:09] ---**
Wait here. I'll bring help.
**[10:12] ---**
Forget it! I'm coming, too!
**[10:15] ---**
With this leg?
**[10:16] ---**
I can walk!
**[10:18] ---**
If I'm not on my own two feet,
it'll mean I've washed out.
**[10:21] ---**
We don't fail! Not Zabi men!
**[10:25] ---**
I doubt you'd understand.
**[10:28] ---**
You probably think I'm just
being stupid and vain.
**[10:32] ---**
This is the 25 km marker.
**[10:34] ---**
We're searching with all we
have, but there's still no...
**[10:37] ---**
You found them?
**[10:40] ---**
They were apparently just spotted, sir!
**[10:42] ---**
They're confirming now!
**[10:44] ---**
Here they come! It's both of them!
**[10:48] ---**
It's Char Aznable and Garma Zabi!
**[10:59] ---**
You moving out?
**[11:00] ---**
The Dorm Chief told me to change rooms.
**[11:03] ---**
Looks like Garma's taken a liking to you.
**[11:05] ---**
Try to get along, you hear?
**[11:12] ---**
I put in a request.
**[11:14] ---**
Where's the challenge when
you're living with a yes-man?
**[11:17] ---**
It's boring.
**[11:19] ---**
We're bunking together starting today.
**[11:21] ---**
I hope we stay friends forever.
**[11:26] ---**
What's so funny?
**[11:39] ---**
Approach on the left,
then lay down ridgeline fire on P4!
**[11:52] ---**
01 hit!
**[11:53] ---**
This is a slaughter.
**[11:53] ---**
Direct hit! 01 incapacitated!
**[11:56] ---**
01, leave battle line!
**[11:58] ---**
This is 01! We can still fight!
**[12:01] ---**
Idiot, if that had been a real round,
you'd have been blown to bits!
**[12:08] ---**
Damn it, these Fed bastards
are full of themselves!
**[12:12] ---**
Char, doesn't this take you back?
**[12:18] ---**
That lunaball final back in high school.
**[12:21] ---**
You led the charge back then, too.
**[12:24] ---**
Oh. Yes, you're right.
**[12:27] ---**
Everybody spread out!
**[12:40] ---**
Point 4 taken.
**[12:41] ---**
What?
**[12:42] ---**
Impossible!
**[12:43] ---**
What do you mean, lost?
**[12:44] ---**
What squad is that?
**[12:45] ---**
This is Zenna Mia, Squad
01! We have taken P4!
**[12:50] ---**
Will now provide spotting for artillery!
**[12:52] ---**
Char, you did it!
**[12:54] ---**
Prepare to fire! Fire for effect!
**[12:56] ---**
Fire!
**[13:04] ---**
Overshot, 50!
**[13:05] ---**
Overshot, 50!
**[13:18] ---**
Here is your review!
**[13:20] ---**
The purpose of today's mock
combat was to ascertain
**[13:24] ---**
the level of proficiency
of you third-year cadets,
**[13:27] ---**
and I rate your performance
as acceptable overall!
**[13:30] ---**
If all goes well, this means
that you will have successfully
**[13:32] ---**
concluded your special training course,
**[13:35] ---**
and you will receive your postings!
**[13:37] ---**
This is only the beginning of your duties!
**[13:41] ---**
Today, criminal agitators
are growing ever bolder
**[13:43] ---**
in their attempts to alienate
the colonies from the Federation!
**[13:47] ---**
Do not be led astray by their lies!
**[13:50] ---**
Rather, stand to your duties and- -
**[13:51] ---**
Question!
**[13:56] ---**
This isn't usually a time for questions,
but I'll make an exception.
**[14:01] ---**
Ask away!
**[14:02] ---**
Thank you for your generosity.
**[14:04] ---**
In that case, I will ask two.
**[14:07] ---**
Question one: If today's exercise was
really meant to mimic a real mission,
**[14:11] ---**
what manner of enemy are we expected
to fight at a firepower disadvantage?
**[14:18] ---**
Question two:
**[14:19] ---**
You just said that you will
not tolerate alienation
**[14:22] ---**
between the Federation and colonies.
**[14:24] ---**
If so, does it not mean that this utterly
inferior Spacenoid self-defense force
**[14:30] ---**
is nothing but a sham
military whose only purpose
**[14:33] ---**
is to drive home just how
weak the colonies are, sir?
**[14:36] ---**
He came out and said it!
**[14:40] ---**
I made an exception for questions.
**[14:43] ---**
But those weren't questions.
**[14:47] ---**
I call it insubordination!
**[14:49] ---**
State your name and unit!
**[14:52] ---**
Char Aznable, chief of Third Students' Corps.
**[14:55] ---**
Take off those sunglasses!
**[14:57] ---**
I've been diagnosed with
a retinal opsin defect.
**[15:01] ---**
In conditions where gamma
rays exceed a set level- -
**[15:18] ---**
That's not against school regs!
**[15:20] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:21] ---**
He's not breaking regs!
**[15:22] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:24] ---**
Yeah! It's not against regs!
**[15:25] ---**
Apologize!
**[15:26] ---**
Apologize!
**[15:27] ---**
Apologize!
**[15:28] ---**
Pick up his visor!
**[15:30] ---**
Yeah! Pick it up!
**[15:32] ---**
Pick it up!
**[15:33] ---**
Pick it up!
**[15:34] ---**
Pick it up!
**[15:35] ---**
Pick it up!
**[15:37] ---**
Pick it up! Pick it up!
**[15:39] ---**
Pick it up! Pick it up!
**[15:43] ---**
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!
**[15:46] ---**
Pick it up! Pick it up!
**[15:46] ---**
Sir! I am Garma Zabi,
chief of First Students' Corps!
**[15:52] ---**
He is not breaking any of this
academy's regulations.
**[15:55] ---**
You should pick up his visor
and admit your error!
**[15:58] ---**
That's right!
**[15:59] ---**
Admit your error, sir!
**[16:02] ---**
This is a demand!
**[16:37] ---**
Not against regulations...
**[17:14] ---**
This is Port Control. You
are to hold position.
**[17:17] ---**
We are on a priority-one mission.
Have them change their flight path.
**[17:22] ---**
Outbound traffic has right
of way! Clear the lane!
**[17:25] ---**
Are you giving us orders?!
I said priority-one!
**[17:28] ---**
You're about to collide! Evade! Evade!
**[17:32] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:54] ---**
An agricultural block
was completely destroyed!
**[17:58] ---**
The blame entirely rests with that
Federation ship that ignored traffic control!
**[18:02] ---**
He's right!
**[18:03] ---**
Don't take it lying down!
**[18:04] ---**
The Federation has become
nothing more than a pox upon us!
**[18:09] ---**
Hear, hear!
**[18:11] ---**
Hear, hear!
**[18:12] ---**
Finding ourselves in this situation,
**[18:14] ---**
the words that the great Zeon Zum Deikun
**[18:17] ---**
tried and failed to speak here,
from this very podium,
**[18:22] ---**
must now be spoken!
**[18:24] ---**
Independence!
**[18:26] ---**
Complete independence from the Federation!
**[18:35] ---**
Independence! Independence!
Complete independence!
**[18:39] ---**
Earthnoids go home! Go back to Earth!
**[18:49] ---**
Area 30, route secured!
**[18:52] ---**
31 is still in progress!
**[18:53] ---**
Currently gathering micro debris.
**[18:57] ---**
Requesting Tarara deployment!
**[18:59] ---**
Send more our way, too!
**[19:00] ---**
We're swamped over here, too!
**[19:03] ---**
Garma, what's that?
**[19:07] ---**
Oh, that?
**[19:08] ---**
It's a mobile worker.
**[19:10] ---**
Mobile...
**[19:11] ---**
They were originally made
for lunar resource extraction.
**[19:15] ---**
My brother Dozle is in charge
of their development.
**[19:20] ---**
Char.
**[19:22] ---**
This is top-secret. But
I'll let you in on it.
**[19:26] ---**
Mobile workers can be
repurposed for military use.
**[19:29] ---**
That's why Dozle is so obsessed
with their development.
**[19:34] ---**
It's reaching the final stages, too.
**[19:37] ---**
Thanks to Dr. Minovsky's theories,
**[19:39] ---**
they succeeded in miniaturizing
their fusion reactor drive.
**[19:42] ---**
They're being called mobile suits.
**[19:47] ---**
Mobile suits, huh?
**[19:52] ---**
Large ship approaching from open space!
**[19:54] ---**
No, stop them! We're still working here!
**[19:57] ---**
Unable to raise them!
**[19:58] ---**
They won't accept anything
but a Federation code!
**[20:00] ---**
Those idiots!
**[20:17] ---**
Rein them in, Gihren!
**[20:20] ---**
Are you listening to me?
**[20:22] ---**
I merely thought it best to
stand back and watch for now.
**[20:25] ---**
This will trigger a war!
**[20:27] ---**
A colony state can't win
against the Federation!
**[20:31] ---**
Well, as to that...
**[20:33] ---**
We'll never know unless we try, will we?
**[20:36] ---**
You don't seem to understand, Gihren.
**[20:41] ---**
If these riots cross a line,
**[20:43] ---**
the Federation Forces
will intervene in earnest.
**[20:46] ---**
The Guardian Banchi
garrison force will mobilize.
**[20:49] ---**
And don't forget!
**[20:51] ---**
That's where Garma is at this very moment!
**[20:57] ---**
Let me make myself clear, Gihren!
**[20:59] ---**
If anything happens to Garma,
**[21:02] ---**
I'll never forgive you.
**[21:09] ---**
They fired again!
**[21:10] ---**
Sadists!
**[21:12] ---**
Garma!
**[21:13] ---**
Garma!
**[21:14] ---**
Garma!
**[21:15] ---**
What do you want us to do?
**[21:16] ---**
Should we be sitting here doing nothing?
**[21:18] ---**
Hey! Garma's exhausted from
working debris cleanup detail!
**[21:22] ---**
You rookies stay put!
**[21:24] ---**
Let us worry about it.
**[21:25] ---**
Garma.
**[21:27] ---**
We need to talk.
**[21:29] ---**
The Federation barracks? Attack them?!
**[21:32] ---**
We'll take it with a sneak attack
and force them to disarm.
**[21:35] ---**
You're joking...
**[21:36] ---**
Are you scared, Garma?
**[21:38] ---**
You, a man who might lead the Zabi family
**[21:40] ---**
and take control of all Zeon one day,
**[21:44] ---**
are scared of a little thing like this?
**[21:46] ---**
B-But...
**[21:48] ---**
You can lead us!
**[21:50] ---**
You're our top student!
The shining star of the academy!
**[21:54] ---**
Char...
**[21:56] ---**
You saw that assault
landing ship, didn't you?
**[21:58] ---**
That was transporting security forces
from Guardian Banchi to Zum City.
**[22:04] ---**
As we speak, those forces
are slaughtering Zum City citizens!
**[22:08] ---**
What will happen if the troops
that are still here are also sent in?
**[22:13] ---**
If you're the Zabi man you say you are,
you can't stand idly by and do nothing.
**[22:20] ---**
All right. But can we beat them?
**[22:24] ---**
We can!
**[22:26] ---**
Take a look. This is a map of the garrison.
**[22:29] ---**
The garrison houses a full regiment.
**[22:32] ---**
But of that, one battalion
is currently in Zum City,
**[22:35] ---**
which leaves two battalions here. 2,000 men.
**[22:38] ---**
That's ten times our numbers!
**[22:41] ---**
There are two barrack blocks.
**[22:42] ---**
In the center are the admin
building and regimental HQ.
**[22:46] ---**
On the opposite side across from there
are the armory and heavy machinery hangar.
**[22:49] ---**
We'll designate these as
attack targets A, B, C, and D.
**[22:53] ---**
I-I'm surprised... When
did you put this together?
**[22:57] ---**
Don't be impressed just yet.
**[23:00] ---**
There are still important details
to work out. One is the docking bay.
**[23:03] ---**
We need to seize it to prevent
any interference from the outside.
**[23:07] ---**
The second is Superintendent Dozle.
**[23:11] ---**
My brother is a good man.
If we talk to him, I'm sure he'll...
**[23:14] ---**
That's it! We'd be better off
doing this with his help!
**[23:17] ---**
I'll go talk to him and--
**[23:18] ---**
Garma!
**[23:20] ---**
Don't you want to turn the gears
of history with your own two hands?
