    LUNAR CITY GRANADA
[00:04] ---
    I'm afraid I must refuse.
[00:06] ---
    Granada is neutral territory.
[00:09] ---
    We cannot side with Zeon
    and take part in a war.
[00:14] ---
    As fellow lunar cities,
[00:16] ---
    we and Von Braun have maintained
    cordial relations for years.
[00:22] ---
    I cannot take part in something
    that is predicated
[00:26] ---
    on betraying that relationship.
[00:31] ---
    Just a moment.
[00:38] ---
    I see. Well done.
[00:42] ---
    Mr. Mayor, I've been informed
    that my men have wiped out
[00:46] ---
    a squadron-sized Federation
    mechanized force at Mare Smythii.
[00:51] ---
    You should take this to heart.
[00:53] ---
    Zeon already possesses such power.
[00:56] ---
    That's impossible! I must confirm this
    with Prime Minister Gihren at once!
[01:00] ---
    Refer to him as Supreme Commander Gihren!
[01:05] ---
    Zeon is no longer a republic,
    but rather a principality.
[01:10] ---
    My father, Degwin, will
    name himself its sovereign
[01:13] ---
    and declare our independence any time now!
[01:16] ---
    Be that as it may, I must...
    I must confirm this...
[01:22] ---
    Major Bergmann.
[01:24] ---
    How does he know about the war?
[01:29] ---
    I merely requested that we be
    allowed to garrison a force
[01:34] ---
    here at Granada equal
    to that of the Federation.
[01:38] ---
    I didn't say a word about using it as
    a launching point to attack Von Braun!
[01:42] ---
    I, uh...
[01:43] ---
    That is- -
[01:46] ---
    The Kycilia Secret Agency
    has no need for blabbermouths.
[01:49] ---
    F-Forgive me, Missus Catherine...
[01:57] ---
    We can drop the charade now.
[02:40] ---
    MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM
    THE ORIGIN
[03:47] ---
    Our company must adopt
    a new policy without delay!
[03:48] ---
    Episode 8
    The Principality of Zeon Declares Its Independence
[03:50] ---
    The RCX-76 force we delivered
[03:54] ---
    was wiped out by a mere five mobile suits!
[03:58] ---
    The score is 12 to 0! A shutout!
[04:02] ---
    You talk like this doesn't
    involve you, Mr. Ray.
[04:04] ---
    You're a part of this, too!
[04:06] ---
    He's right!
[04:07] ---
    You're partly to blame!
[04:09] ---
    Yes. The blame certainly
    does
lie partly with me.
[04:13] ---
    So please, let me take full responsibility.
[04:16] ---
    Help me advance the next
    phase of the RX Project!
[04:21] ---
    You're trying to turn this
    to your advantage, is that it?!
[04:23] ---
    Butt out!
[04:24] ---
    What will become of mobile
    suit development after this?
[04:29] ---
    You'll halt it, won't you?
[04:31] ---
    And simply throw in the towel to Zeonic!
[04:35] ---
    Dr. Minovsky tried to defect with
    the intention of working with us,
[04:41] ---
    but he died before he could do so!
[04:43] ---
    I saw it happen, but couldn't
    do anything to save him!
[04:47] ---
    We should carry on his work!
[04:49] ---
    Easier said than done...
[04:51] ---
    I can certainly sympathize, but, well...
[04:53] ---
    You needn't worry. The
    project is coming along.
[04:57] ---
    It's almost done.
[05:01] ---
    Allow me to show it to you!
    Our definitive plan!
[05:08] ---
    Behold! I give you the RX-78!
[05:14] ---
    Codename, "Gundam"!
[05:21] ---
    Dad?
[05:27] ---
    Sorry!
[05:29] ---
    Ouch. Ouch.
[05:36] ---
    He didn't lock it when he left...
[05:38] ---
    He'll get mad. He'll get mad. Hey!
[05:41] ---
    Don't go in!
[06:03] ---
    U.C. 0078, October 24th.
[06:06] ---
    OCTOBER 24th
[06:10] ---
    REPUBLIC OF ZEON RATIFIES
    CHANGE TO PRINCIPALITY
[06:10] ---
    The Republic of Zeon ratifies
    its change into a principality.
[06:14] ---
    DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM
    FEDERATION AT SAME TIME
[06:14] ---
    At the same time, it declares
    its independence from the Federation.
[06:21] ---
    Sieg Zeon!
[06:23] ---
    Sieg Zeon!
[06:25] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[06:33] ---
    Revil.
[06:34] ---
    Do you think it's finally time to
    carry out the relocation to Jaburo?
[06:39] ---
    I suppose it is.
[06:41] ---
    Gihren Zabi is a man who
    will stop at nothing.
[06:45] ---
    Who could have predicted it?
[06:48] ---
    To think that war has come upon us
    once again in this new era.
[06:54] ---
    And for that reason,
[06:56] ---
    the end of the old A.D. era became
    a period of fresh conflict and poverty...
[07:05] ---
    Amuro!
[07:08] ---
    AMURO!
[07:13] ---
    Welcome home!
[07:21] ---
    Amuro!
[07:23] ---
    Want to head home together?
[07:25] ---
    Look, um... You seem kinda exhausted.
[07:29] ---
    You're up late every night, right?
[07:32] ---
    Did you eat dinner last night?
[07:34] ---
    I ate it!
[07:35] ---
    Oh? Well, if you say so.
[07:39] ---
    Hey, Little Miss Conduct Monitor!
[07:41] ---
    Are you giving Amuro a yellow card, too?
[07:44] ---
    Keeping late hours is a no-no!
[07:47] ---
    No falling asleep in class!
[07:50] ---
    Illicit sexual relations
    will not be tolerated!
[07:54] ---
    Shut up!
[07:56] ---
    Oo, scary!
[07:58] ---
    Let her give your conduct
    a good monitoring, Amuro!
[08:02] ---
    Jerks!
[08:03] ---
    You shouldn't associate
    with the likes of those boys!
[08:06] ---
    That Kai in particular is a delinquent!
    He's even been held back a year!
[08:11] ---
    What's the matter?
[08:12] ---
    I remembered something that I have to do.
[08:15] ---
    I need to make a stop.
[08:16] ---
    Amuro!
[08:19] ---
    Hey! Do you have plans for Christmas?
[08:24] ---
    You'll be home alone, right?
    I'll make a cake for you!
[08:28] ---
    It'll be delicious!
[08:33] ---
    Talks have broken down over the Zeon
    government's refusal to apologize
[08:38] ---
    for the recent battle on the lunar surface.
[08:41] ---
    As a result, all Sides are being
    forced to take measures.
[08:46] ---
    Is it good, Amuro?
[08:47] ---
    It is expected that as soon
    as a defensive mobilization
[08:48] ---
    Fraw is nice, isn't she?
[08:50] ---
    Haro likes Fraw. Likes, likes!
[08:50] ---
    is approved by the Federation assembly,
[08:53] ---
    E.F.F. headquarters at Jaburo will call up
[08:53] ---
    I love Fraw!
[08:55] ---
    Shut up!
[08:56] ---
    rapid reaction forces from around the world.
[08:56] ---
    If you keep bugging me,
    I'll yank out your battery!
[09:00] ---
    Furthermore, the Federation government
    is calling on citizens of all Sides
[09:03] ---
    More military jargon...
[09:05] ---
    to remain calm and behave responsibly.
[09:06] ---
    How is any of this colony
    construction documents?
[09:09] ---
    Riah, Side 6, has already
    declared neutrality.
[09:13] ---
    Side 2, Hatte, has sided with the Federation,
[09:14] ---
    Dad...
[09:16] ---
    I wonder what he's doing right now?
[09:16] ---
    taking an openly antagonistic
    stance against Zeon.
[09:19] ---
    U.C. 0079
    JANUARY 3RD
    PRINCIPALITY OF ZEON DECLARES WAR
    AGAINST EARTH FEDERATION
[09:30] ---
    SAME DAY
[09:31] ---
    DOZLE FLEET DESTROYS
    E.F.S.F. CRUISER FLEET
[09:36] ---
    SAME DAY
[09:38] ---
    MAJOR GENERAL KYCILIA'S
    ASSAULT FORCE OCCUPIES GRANADA
[09:45] ---
    AND THEN MAIN FORCE
    ATTACKS VON BRAUN
[10:19] ---
    Lalah, what are you doing right now?
[10:23] ---
    I'm looking at the stars.
[10:26] ---
    They're so pretty, the way they twinkle.
[10:30] ---
    Stars don't twinkle in space.
[10:32] ---
    Oh, they don't?
[10:35] ---
    Be a good girl and sit tight.
[10:37] ---
    I'll be back as soon as I'm done with work.
[11:13] ---
    I'm not out of the fight yet!
[11:36] ---
    Side 2 will be burned by the fires of Heaven!
[11:40] ---
    Just deserts for those who dared turn
    against the noble Spacenoid cause!
[11:46] ---
    They have received a punishment that
    they brought down upon themselves!
[12:22] ---
    Commander! Commander Ral!
[12:25] ---
    We've eliminated most
    of the enemy's resistance.
[12:28] ---
    This isn't war...
[12:31] ---
    It was the Federation that turned
    the foolish leaders of Hatte against us!
[12:36] ---
    They are the true enemy!
[12:42] ---
    It's a slaughter!
[12:44] ---
    My fellow countrymen! 150 million
    distinguished citizens of Zeon!
[12:49] ---
    Our fight has just begun!
[12:52] ---
    Let us march ever onwards in perfect unison!
[12:57] ---
    Together! Until our day of victory!
[13:38] ---
    The fighting in Hatte continues.
[13:40] ---
    The Hatte government put out a call for aid
[13:43] ---
    to all colonies and the Federation
    government last night.
[13:47] ---
    The Zeon forces' attack appears to
    encompass almost all of Hatte's banchis.
[13:51] ---
    Um, it's Hayato.
[13:52] ---
    The Hatte Defense Force continues
    a last-ditch defense of the capital banchi,
[13:53] ---
    Mr. Kai says to come out.
[13:55] ---
    but they are at a clear disadvantage
    against their Zeon attackers.
[14:00] ---
    This is no time to stay cooped up, right?
[14:02] ---
    They say there's a war on.
[14:06] ---
    I wasn't really...
[14:08] ---
    Your old man's in charge of the
    Development Sector, isn't he?
[14:12] ---
    Maybe he's really in the military!
[14:21] ---
    Hey.
[14:23] ---
    If we're gonna go check out the
    Development Sector, let's get to it.
[14:26] ---
    I've got judo practice this morning.
[14:29] ---
    Huh? You're going to the Development Sector?
[14:31] ---
    Something fishy's going on in there.
[14:34] ---
    I wanna know what they're up to.
[14:36] ---
    But my dad... My dad said
    not to go near there!
[14:40] ---
    You're such a daddy's boy, Amuro!
[14:42] ---
    If you always do what your folks say,
[14:45] ---
    you'll never grow up and be your own man!
[14:49] ---
    Don't you think so?
[14:54] ---
    Okay! Roll out!
[14:57] ---
    We're Seven! Side Seven!
[15:01] ---
    Strike a victory pose and go aye-aye-oh!
[15:05] ---
    We're Seven! Side Seven! Strike a...
[15:21] ---
    Mr. Kai, this looks really dangerous!
[15:24] ---
    Say what?
[15:25] ---
    Kal, you chicken! Move over!
[15:30] ---
    Is he kidding?
[15:32] ---
    Just leave it to Kai Shiden!
[15:53] ---
    Let's go!
[15:59] ---
    Mr. Kai!
[16:00] ---
    Don't sweat it!
[16:02] ---
    This place is gonna be new living
    space for us someday, right?
[16:06] ---
    So I say we take a little peek
[16:09] ---
    at what's on the other side of that wall!
[16:39] ---
    Do not resist! Step out of
    the vehicle immediately!
[16:42] ---
    I say again! Step out of the
    vehicle with your hands in the air!
[16:47] ---
    If you resist, we will open fire again!
[16:57] ---
    These guys are...
[16:59] ---
    They're Federation soldiers!
[17:03] ---
    You stupid punks! What were you thinking?!
[17:07] ---
    Which of you dumbasses is the leader?!
[17:09] ---
    Let me guess, it was you!
[17:15] ---
    All of you, let's see your ID cards!
[17:18] ---
    I'm confiscating them!
[17:24] ---
    Commander.
[17:29] ---
    Hey! Punk! I mean, you!
[17:35] ---
    Are you Chief Tem Ray's son?
[17:38] ---
    Y-Yes, that's right.
[17:41] ---
    You need to inform us of stuff
    like that right off the bat!
[17:45] ---
    You don't need to stay
    with these delinquents!
[17:48] ---
    Go on home, you hear?
[17:52] ---
    Okay, you stinking punks!
[17:55] ---
    What a stupid stunt to pull!
    Do you wanna get beaten to death?!
[17:59] ---
    Well, that's what you're gonna get!
[18:19] ---
    Commander Ramba Ral has arrived!
[18:21] ---
    Good! You're here!
[18:27] ---
    That's Island Iffish, isn't it?
[18:29] ---
    We could have taken it in half
    a day if we felt like it.
[18:32] ---
    We were ordered to leave
    it untouched, though.
[18:35] ---
    That's precisely why I called you here.
[18:38] ---
    Brilliant man that he is, Supreme Leader
    Gihren came up with an ingenious plan.
[18:42] ---
    A plan to end this war with
    victory for us in one fell swoop!
[18:48] ---
    We're going to murder the
    citizens and drop the colony?!
[18:51] ---
    Shh! Don't use that word.
[18:54] ---
    It makes it sound like we're
    doing something bad.
[18:57] ---
    Even so-
[18:58] ---
    Wait!
[19:00] ---
    Let me continue!
[19:02] ---
    Take a good look at this!
[19:05] ---
    We'll attach external engines to the colony,
[19:08] ---
    take it out of orbit, send it
    into low Earth orbit,
[19:11] ---
    and drop it on Federation
    General HQ at Jaburo!
[19:16] ---
    Now do you see?
[19:18] ---
    They anticipated there
    would be a war with us,
[19:22] ---
    so they built Jaburo under
    1,000 meters of bedrock,
[19:26] ---
    but this will flatten even that!
[19:28] ---
    You want me to do this?
[19:29] ---
    I do!
[19:31] ---
    I refuse!
[19:34] ---
    You what?!
[19:35] ---
    Now I get it. This is something that
    Lord Gihren would come up with.
[19:38] ---
    But a military man like you should
    never
even suggest such a thing!
[19:42] ---
    This is the work of the devil!
[19:45] ---
    The devil?!
[19:48] ---
    Look who's talking!
[19:51] ---
    You have the blood of a hundred
    million Hatte civilians on your hands!
[19:54] ---
    You're well and truly a devil yourself!
[19:58] ---
    Those Hatte guys will be dead either way!
[20:00] ---
    So wouldn't you say that making
    their deaths count for something
[20:03] ---
    is the sensible thing to do here?!
[20:06] ---
    I would not!
[20:07] ---
    Why the hell not?!
[20:13] ---
    Admiral Dozle. This war is madness.
[20:17] ---
    Zeon Zum Deikun would
    never have ordered this war.
[20:21] ---
    I want no part of it!
[20:23] ---
    Wait!
[20:25] ---
    Wait, damn it!
[20:26] ---
    ISLAND IFFISH
[20:33] ---
    Hey! Don't waste ammo!
[20:35] ---
    You Zeon bastards, come get some!
[20:41] ---
    Yuki!
[20:43] ---
    Fang Li! Where are you going?
[20:47] ---
    We're evacuating to the
    shelter! What about you?
[20:50] ---
    Docking bay guard duty!
[20:52] ---
    Hey, don't!
[20:56] ---
    You could have broken your neck!
[20:58] ---
    Let's all evacuate together! Join us, Yuki!
[21:01] ---
    I can't do that! But I'll escort you there!
[21:11] ---
    Do you suppose all the other
    banchis were lost to them?
[21:16] ---
    Probably.
[21:20] ---
    But we'll be safe here.
[21:23] ---
    What makes you say that?
[21:25] ---
    This is the capital banchi,
    and we have plenty of shelters.
[21:29] ---
    Trust me, Fang Li. The Federation
    Forces are gonna come help.
[21:33] ---
    You think? I sure hope so.
[21:37] ---
    Too slow! Pick up the pace!
[21:49] ---
    Hey,
[21:51] ---
    shouldn't you be getting to the docking bay?
[21:54] ---
    It's fine.
[21:56] ---
    I'll guard the shelter you guys are in.
[22:01] ---
    Do you even know how to use that thing?
[22:03] ---
    Sure I do.
[22:05] ---
    It's easier than playing the guitar.
[22:10] ---
    Things sure have gotten crazy, huh?
[22:12] ---
    Given everything that's happening,
    you should have gone to Earth sooner.
[22:16] ---
    I couldn't. The Yashima Company's
    training institute opens in April.
[22:21] ---
    That's so weird.
[22:22] ---
    It is not.
[22:24] ---
    Aprils in Japan are the best.
    It's when the cherry blossoms bloom.
[22:27] ---
    Cherry blossoms?
[22:28] ---
    Well, I haven't seen them myself.
[22:31] ---
    They scatter and fall like yuki. Snow.
[22:34] ---
    "Yuki"?
[22:35] ---
    It's not much, but I have
    some Japanese blood in me.
[22:40] ---
    They tell me that the name
    "Yuki" is Japanese, too.
[22:43] ---
    Yuki... Yuki, like snow.
[22:46] ---
    That yuki is different! My yuki means brave!
[22:53] ---
    I do love the snow, though.
[22:55] ---
    Oh, so it snows in Japan.
[22:58] ---
    That sounds nice. I'd love
    to go there sometime.
[23:01] ---
    So let's go. Once all this is over.
[23:05] ---
    Go together?
[23:07] ---
    Yep. You and me.
