    Dropping the Colony
[02:01] ---
    Pumping in GG gas!
[02:03] ---
    There's a wind of about 10 meters
    per second blowing inside.
[02:06] ---
    It should spread pretty quickly.
[02:10] ---
    Elapsed gas pumping time, 5 minutes.
[02:12] ---
    It's nothing personal.
    We're doing this to end this war quickly.
[02:17] ---
    Anyway... I doubt you'd want to see
    the surface of the Earth rushing up at you.
[02:41] ---
    It's cold...
[02:43] ---
    Why is... it so cold?
[02:57] ---
    It's snow!
[02:59] ---
    It even snows in colonies!
[03:02] ---
    I have to tell Fang Li!
[03:07] ---
    Wow, why is it so cold?
[03:20] ---
    What's wrong with them?
[03:22] ---
    Asleep at their posts...
[03:26] ---
    It's our job to keep the
    shelter safe, guys...
[03:41] ---
    If I fall asleep out here,
[03:49] ---
    I'll... catch cold...
[03:57] ---
    I wanna go inside, too...
[04:07] ---
    Fang Li...
[04:11] ---
    Open up...
[04:14] ---
    Let me in...
[04:24] ---
    Let me...
[04:33] ---
    ...in, please.
[04:44] ---
    Universal Century 0079, January 10th.
[04:49] ---
    Island Iffish, mother
    banchi of Side 2, Hatte,
[04:54] ---
    leaves its Lagrange Point and enters
    a freefall trajectory towards Earth.
[05:01] ---
    Its estimated point of impact is
    South America's Guiana Highlands,
[05:04] ---
    beneath which lies Jaburo,
    the Earth Federation's general HQ.
[05:11] ---
    The fleet of Vice Admiral Tianem,
[05:13] ---
    which had been making its way to
    the engagement area with the Zeon Forces,
[05:16] ---
    abruptly changes its objective.
[05:18] ---
    It tries to destroy the colony,
    but is unsuccessful.
[05:25] ---
    January 15th. Island Iffish
    arrives in low Earth orbit.
[05:49] ---
    January 16th.
[05:51] ---
    It splits in three, and each
    part enters the atmosphere.
[06:20] ---
    The impact of Island Iffish
    wrought havoc on the Earth.
[06:27] ---
    Southern Australia, struck squarely by
    the bay section, was utterly destroyed.
[06:31] ---
    And the enormous land section
    that struck southwestern Canada
[06:35] ---
    caused debris to rain down
    across most of America.
[06:39] ---
    The section that came down in the Pacific
[06:42] ---
    triggered massive quakes and tsunamis
    in densely-populated East Asia.
[06:49] ---
    The Earth's crust and
    atmosphere were torn asunder.
[06:54] ---
    The fatalities that resulted from
    this terrible calamity were so vast
[06:59] ---
    that they were not fully
    grasped for some time,
[07:01] ---
    but when deaths from disease
    and starvation were also included,
[07:07] ---
    it became clear that the final tally
    was roughly half of the world's population.
[07:14] ---
    However, the war had only just begun.
[07:20] ---
    Our most pressing matter at the moment
    is how to deal with Side 5, Loum.
[07:26] ---
    Loum is still split.
[07:28] ---
    Between siding with us,
    or standing with the Federation.
[07:33] ---
    The difference between them and Hatte is that
[07:35] ---
    they have already been promised
    powerful Federation support.
[07:41] ---
    The Tianem Fleet that
    is now en route to Miranda
[07:44] ---
    is the most powerful in the E.F.S.F.
[07:47] ---
    This fact has had a major
    impact on public opinion there.
[07:51] ---
    The forces opposed to us have
    gained the upper hand.
[07:55] ---
    Loum must also be purged.
[07:59] ---
    If we are to be victorious in our holy war,
[08:02] ---
    Loum will be crucial.
[08:05] ---
    You've already killed billions...
[08:09] ---
    All the blood that has been
    spilled still isn't enough for you?!
[08:13] ---
    How many people we have killed...
[08:14] ---
    Rather, how many have died, is unimportant!
[08:19] ---
    All that matters is victory over our enemy!
[08:21] ---
    Given that Jaburo yet exists
[08:24] ---
    and the Federation shows
    a clear intent to resist, we- -
[08:27] ---
    That is the result of our own
    plan failing. Isn't that right?
[08:33] ---
    Those who carried out Operation British
    will, of course, be punished severely.
[08:37] ---
    And the person who oversaw them
    will also be made accountable.
[08:41] ---
    I'm referring to you as the one
    who came up with this plan, Gihren.
[08:48] ---
    We merely need to emerge the victors!
[08:50] ---
    Assuming that you do not wish
    to be prosecuted as war criminals,
[08:54] ---
    you should put your faith in me,
[08:56] ---
    the man best suited to provide
    the leadership we need to win!
[09:02] ---
    I'm returning to my chambers!
[09:04] ---
    Garma! Lend me your shoulder.
[09:07] ---
    Y-Yes, Father!
[09:11] ---
    Oh, my. It would seem that even
    our dear father is getting on in years...
[09:23] ---
    Zenna! Mineva! I'm home!
[09:27] ---
    Are you still up?!
[09:29] ---
    Mineva!
[09:31] ---
    Mineva!
[09:33] ---
    You were a good girl and waited up for me?
[09:35] ---
    Coochie coochie coo! How I've missed you!
[09:40] ---
    Oh, you're awake?!
[09:43] ---
    It's Papa! Papa! Your daddy!
[09:46] ---
    I'm your daddy!
[09:57] ---
    Now, now, did he scare you?
[10:00] ---
    Your daddy is so naughty...
[10:07] ---
    Is... she asleep?
[10:09] ---
    She's asleep.
[10:12] ---
    She plays all day and tires herself out.
[10:18] ---
    She's so cute...
[10:20] ---
    My one Mineva is so adorable, but I...
[10:30] ---
    How many hundreds of millions
    of Minevas have I killed?!
[10:51] ---
    Mineva burst into tears
    the instant she saw my face.
[10:55] ---
    Is my face that terrifying?
[10:58] ---
    Do I have the face of a devil or an ogre?
[11:02] ---
    I do, don't I?
[11:05] ---
    Don't be silly.
[11:07] ---
    Mineva was grouchy because
    she was sleepy, that's all.
[11:10] ---
    Is that true? Is that really true?
[11:14] ---
    I hope you're right...
[11:17] ---
    I liked our family better before...
[11:20] ---
    When we all lived in
    this house, we all got along.
[11:24] ---
    My brother Sasro was here, too.
    And Garma was so tiny and cute.
[11:29] ---
    Well, Garma still is cute now...
[11:34] ---
    Zenna!
[11:37] ---
    I intend to make sure that you don't
    regret marrying into the Zabi family!
[11:42] ---
    Let's build a new history
    for the Zabis together!
[11:47] ---
    Bear me lots of children!
[11:49] ---
    Little brothers for Mineva!
    And little sisters!
[11:52] ---
    Lots of good little children!
[11:55] ---
    And I'll keep those children safe!
[12:00] ---
    Anyone who tries to lay a
    hand on you or Mineva
[12:03] ---
    will have to go through me,
    no matter who they are!
[12:07] ---
    Oh, that's it! That's the
    underlying truth of all wars!
[12:11] ---
    When you have loved ones, you must fight!
[12:16] ---
    The people of Hatte, the Federation,
    it's their own fault for being weak!
[12:20] ---
    They couldn't keep their Minevas safe!
[12:24] ---
    Pathetic, that's what it is!
[12:27] ---
    I'm not like them!
[12:31] ---
    I'll crush them all!
[12:38] ---
    SIDE 5, LOUM
    CAPITAL BANCHI, MIRANDA
[12:48] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[12:51] ---
    Zeons go home! Zeons go home!
[12:57] ---
    The military has mobilized to keep the peace.
[13:00] ---
    They are opening fire
    on the pro-Zeon protesters.
[13:03] ---
    The Loum government appears to have hardened
[13:06] ---
    its anti-Zeon position with
    Federation military backing.
[13:11] ---
    We're full here!
[13:13] ---
    Send them to another hospital!
[13:15] ---
    Please! Save my baby!
[13:20] ---
    I'll administer first aid.
[13:22] ---
    Put him on the sofa over there.
[13:26] ---
    Miss Artesia, I presume?
[13:30] ---
    No, you're mistaken.
[13:32] ---
    Here is my identification.
[13:40] ---
    Your name is Lt. Tachi?
[13:42] ---
    You're an odd one.
[13:44] ---
    I've never had an intelligence
    operative show me his ID before.
[13:50] ---
    It's been a long time, Lady Artesia.
[13:54] ---
    When you and Master Casval
    escaped Munzo, I played a part in it.
[13:59] ---
    Admittedly, all I really did was
    follow Mr. Ral's instructions
[14:02] ---
    to get you past customs.
[14:04] ---
    Would you mind cutting to the chase?
[14:07] ---
    I can't stay here for long right now.
[14:10] ---
    I'm well aware. Because of all the riots.
[14:12] ---
    But I wouldn't have been able to
    see you if it weren't such a situation.
[14:17] ---
    Intelligence operative or no,
    it's no easy task to get the drop
[14:20] ---
    on the Kycilia Agency.
[14:23] ---
    You know a man named Char Aznable, don't you?
[14:27] ---
    Mr. Char?
[14:31] ---
    He was expelled from the academy
    for inciting the cadet uprising.
[14:35] ---
    But after that, he made a name
    for himself piloting a red mobile suit,
[14:39] ---
    rose from enlisted man to lieutenant,
    and is now the young hero of Zeon.
[14:46] ---
    Keep a close eye on this man.
[14:49] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:52] ---
    And one other thing!
[14:54] ---
    Casval Rem Deikun is alive and well!
[15:03] ---
    Of course, that's only my
    personal conviction at this point.
[15:07] ---
    Wait!
[15:09] ---
    I can't stay long.
[15:11] ---
    If anyone found out I was a Zeon,
    I'd be killed slowly and painfully.
[15:15] ---
    Lt. Tachi!
[15:20] ---
    Yes, I'll be right...
[15:23] ---
    Mr. Aznable?
[15:25] ---
    Miss Sayla, Mr. Teabolo's collapsed!
[15:28] ---
    They tell me it was a heart attack.
[15:30] ---
    Could you come home right away?
[15:33] ---
    Hello? Miss Sayla?
[15:35] ---
    Can you hear me?
[15:37] ---
    It's me! Aznable! Roger Aznable!
[15:41] ---
    Hello? Hello?
[15:43] ---
    Are you there, Miss Sayla?
[15:49] ---
    LUNAR CITY, GRANADA
[15:55] ---
    Pilot inspection! Go to test mode!
[15:57] ---
    L3 gauge isn't climbing!
[15:59] ---
    We're attaching more powerful
    thrusters to the backpack.
[16:00] ---
    Start with L5!
[16:04] ---
    The nozzles' range of motion
    has been increased by 50%.
[16:07] ---
    We're also attaching custom fins.
[16:09] ---
    Well, well!
[16:11] ---
    These new Zaku models
    don't look too shabby at all!
[16:15] ---
    Just the thing for us Black Tri-Stars!
[16:18] ---
    I like that star emblem in particular!
[16:21] ---
    After all, appearance is
    everything, am I right?
[16:31] ---
    What was that just now?
[16:49] ---
    That flashy horn!
[16:51] ---
    That red color deliberately meant
    to stand out from the crowd!
[16:56] ---
    Nobody but him would do
    something so obnoxious!
[17:04] ---
    Damn it, I was right!
[17:06] ---
    Mechanic! I'm only getting
    80% output from the sub-thrusters!
[17:14] ---
    That's not the response
    level I requested, now is it?
[17:17] ---
    Well, given the stress on the pilot,
    we thought that a limiter was a must.
[17:23] ---
    I don't need it. Remove it.
[17:25] ---
    Hey! You!
[17:28] ---
    Oh, you're here for inspections, too?
[17:32] ---
    You seem eager to see your
    personal machines completed.
[17:36] ---
    Lt. Char,
[17:38] ---
    I suppose I should congratulate
    you on making officer again.
[17:42] ---
    A quick double-bump promotion at that!
[17:45] ---
    While Commander Ral's been
    demoted to lieutenant in the reserves...
[17:49] ---
    That red officer's uniform
    looks good on you, Lieutenant.
[17:53] ---
    Isn't that against regs?
[17:56] ---
    You know, not wearing a normal
    suit while piloting a mobile suit?
[18:00] ---
    Lt. Gaia.
[18:02] ---
    If the mobile suit I'm piloting is destroyed,
[18:05] ---
    I'll be just as dead regardless
    of what I'm wearing.
[18:09] ---
    I'm heading right back out!
[18:12] ---
    You three seem oddly fixated on promotions.
[18:16] ---
    If you want to climb the ranks, too,
    I suggest you do something to earn it.
[18:21] ---
    Loum will be the ideal
    battlefield to do just that.
[18:24] ---
    The chance of a lifetime for you three.
[18:28] ---
    Who will perform the best at Loum?
[18:31] ---
    It's a competition, gentlemen
    of the Black Tri-Stars.
[19:11] ---
    Universal Century 0079, January 23rd.
[19:17] ---
    The E.F.S.F. Third Fleet, launched from
    the newly-constructed Jaburo Base,
[19:22] ---
    rendezvous with Admiral Revil's First Fleet,
[19:25] ---
    which had been standing
    by in the Luna II area,
[19:29] ---
    and immediately sets out for the Loum
    area, located across from Earth.
[19:35] ---
    With this force that vastly outnumbers
    the combined Zeon forces,
[19:39] ---
    the Federation intends
    to settle the war in one blow.
[19:50] ---
    ZEON FORCES FLAGSHIP, GREAT DEGWIN
[19:55] ---
    A battle at Loum will decide
    the outcome of the war.
[19:59] ---
    Or rather, it must decide it! *
    Steel your resolve, gentlemen!
[20:04] ---
    I expect that the E.F.S.F.
    is burning with desire for revenge
[20:08] ---
    over the blow it received
    in Operation British.
[20:10] ---
    We mustn't underestimate its will to fight.
[20:14] ---
    Only through all our forces uniting
    as one under our sovereign
[20:18] ---
    and staking the very survival of
    our principality will victory be possible!
[20:23] ---
    Now, let us begin the operation briefing.
[20:25] ---
    Vice Admiral Dozle,
    supreme commander of our fleets.
[20:33] ---
    Never forget!
[20:34] ---
    If we lose, every last
    one of us is a war criminal!
[20:38] ---
    It'll be the gallows for us!
[20:45] ---
    The enemy's forces are split in two.
[20:48] ---
    One is Vice Admiral Tianem's fleet,
    which is sticking close to the Loum Area.
[20:52] ---
    It is composed of 15
    Magellan-class battleships,
[20:56] ---
    45 Salamis-class cruisers,
[20:59] ---
    as well as Lepanto-class missile
    frigates, landing craft, and so on.
[21:03] ---
    This fleet alone is on par
    with our entire fleet.
[21:08] ---
    Plus, Revil's main force is also coming!
[21:11] ---
    This one will probably be three
    times the size of the Tianem Fleet!
[21:14] ---
    A real armada!
[21:16] ---
    A force four times our size?
[21:18] ---
    Yes! Four times!
[21:21] ---
    We can do nothing about the gap
    in fighting strengths at this point!
[21:24] ---
    Which is why...
[21:26] ---
    ...we will not be using some*
    inane plan to further divide
[21:28] ---
    our own smaller force
    and attack each of theirs!
[21:31] ---
    We will hit the Tianem Fleet
    with everything we have!
[21:37] ---
    And? What do you intend to
    do about Revil's main force?
[21:41] ---
    As for him, we will hit Revil's force
[21:44] ---
    with the Special Assault Regiment
    launched from A Baoa Qu!
[21:49] ---
    Special Assault Regiment? Er...
[21:52] ---
    What's that?
[21:54] ---
    I know that you generals
    are unfamiliar with it.
[21:56] ---
    However, the unit has already proven
    quite capable in the opening hostilities.
[22:01] ---
    For this mission, I'll organize it
    into two battalions
[22:05] ---
    and throw the Revil Fleet into confusion!
[22:11] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[22:14] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[22:18] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[22:21] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[22:28] ---
    Well, you two, I'm off.
[22:31] ---
    Clamp? You leaving already?
[22:34] ---
    Yo, Commander! Er, Lieutenant, I mean...
[22:37] ---
    Cozun! It's been a dog's age!
[22:40] ---
    How about it? Join me?
[22:41] ---
    I'd love to, but the transport
    convoy will be leaving soon.
[22:46] ---
    They say this battle will determine
    who rules the world, so if you're late
[22:49] ---
    you'll be branded a traitor.
[22:51] ---
    Oh, I see. Get going, then.
[22:54] ---
    I volunteered, thinking I could serve
    with you again if I was a Zaku pilot.
[22:59] ---
    That was mean, Lieutenant,
    mustering out first like that.
[23:05] ---
    Petty Officer Cozun Graham!
    Now shipping out to the Loum front line!
[23:15] ---
    Fine, go!
[23:17] ---
    But just remember! The Zabis
    are a bunch of murderers!
[23:21] ---
    Whatever you do, don't die
    for the likes of them!
[23:25] ---
    You don't need to shed a drop
    of your own blood for them!
