[00:11] ---
    It was a time in which humanity had set
    out into space in search of new lands.

[00:17] ---
    It was given the name
    "Universal Century".

[00:21] ---
    Humanity entrusted its future
[00:25] ---
    to gigantic space colonies
    constructed around the Earth.

[00:30] ---
    However, this second homeland
    was not their promised paradise.

[00:37] ---
    Universal Century 0057.
[00:40] ---
    In Side 3, the cluster
    furthest from Earth,

[00:43] ---
    a leader appeared who called
    for Spacenoid independence

[00:47] ---
    and the reformation
    of the human race.

[00:50] ---
    His name was Zeon Zum Deikun.
[00:55] ---
    U.C. 0068.
[00:59] ---
    Just as Deikun began
    a speech, he collapsed.

[01:03] ---
    His sudden death
    led to rampant speculation,

[01:06] ---
    and factional infighting
    within the Deikun camp

[01:09] ---
    suddenly erupted.
[01:15] ---
    Degwin Zabi, a longtime supporter
    of Deikun, known as his right arm,

[01:21] ---
    did not let this opportunity
    pass him by.

[01:24] ---
    He and his faction toppled
    their rivals, the Ral family,

[01:27] ---
    and seized power in Munzo.
[01:30] ---
    Zabi!
[01:38] ---
    Deikun's wife, Astraia,
    was placed in confinement.

[01:41] ---
    And as for his children,
    Casval and Artesia...

[01:46] ---
    My enemy, your enemy,
    Mother's enemy, everyone's!
[01:51] ---
    I'll take them out!
[01:57] ---
    They narrowly escaped to Earth
[02:00] ---
    along with Jimba Ral,
    head of the Ral family.

[02:05] ---
    Three years later...
[02:11] ---
    The children changed their names,
[02:13] ---
    Artesia to Sayla,
    and Casval to Édouard.

[02:18] ---
    They had been adopted
    by the wealthy Teabolo Mass.

[02:23] ---
    However, Jimba Ral lost his life
    at the hands of Zabi assassins.

[02:37] ---
    Teabolo was also gravely injured.
[02:41] ---
    Heeding the advice
    of Shu Yashima,

[02:44] ---
    head of the Yashima Company,
    an industrial giant,

[02:46] ---
    Teabolo decided to move
    to Texas Colony,

[02:48] ---
    located in Side 5,
    also known as Loum.

[02:53] ---
    However, a fateful encounter
    awaited them there.

[02:58] ---
    Édouard Mass.
[03:00] ---
    I'm Char Aznable!
[03:06] ---
    But then sad tidings
    reached the ears of Sayla,

[03:08] ---
    who had been eagerly awaiting
    their reunion with their mother.

[03:11] ---
    It's mother, she...
[03:13] ---
    It was news of Astraia's death.
[03:16] ---
    No!
[03:24] ---
    Édouard bade farewell to Sayla.
[03:26] ---
    Artesia.
[03:30] ---
    We won't see each other again
    for a while.
[03:34] ---
    Goodbye, Artesia.
[03:37] ---
    Wait! Don't go, Brother!
[03:40] ---
    Casval!
[03:47] ---
    There, he set out
    on a new path.

[03:50] ---
    His first step towards
    his vengeance.

[03:59] ---
    U.C. 0074.
[04:03] ---
    Édouard, having secretly
    switched places with Char,

[04:10] ---
    entered the Autonomous Republic
    of Zeon's military academy.

[04:15] ---
    Also there was Garma Zabi,
    the Zabi heir.

[04:22] ---
    I hereby pledge...
[04:26] ---
    Garma Zabi, dorm 1!
[04:37] ---
    Call it... your palace.
[04:42] ---
    Char and Garma forged
    a fateful bond.

[04:48] ---
    Meanwhile, with the assistance
    of scientific genius Dr. Minovsky,

[04:53] ---
    Dozle Zabi managed to advance
    the development

[04:56] ---
    of a new weapon
    called the "mobile suit".

[05:00] ---
    But then a sudden accident
    changed everything.

[05:11] ---
    The citizens rose up,
    demanding independence.

[05:17] ---
    The Federation barracks?
    Attack them?!
[05:20] ---
    They could no longer tolerate
    oppression by the Federation Forces.

[05:24] ---
    Char provoked Garma,
[05:26] ---
    who then incited the academy's
    cadets to take up arms.

[05:30] ---
    It was to protect the lives, rights,
    and property of Spacenoids!
[05:36] ---
    Right! Move out!
[05:41] ---
    However, there was one cadet who
    had seen through Char's disguise.

[05:47] ---
    His name was Lino Fernandez,
    a fellow Loum native.

[05:52] ---
    Thank you very much, Lino.
[06:16] ---
    During the battle,
[06:18] ---
    Char disposed of Lino, who had
    pledged his loyalty to him earlier.

[06:23] ---
    Casval, make them stop!
[06:26] ---
    Fire!
[06:31] ---
    Wh-Why?! Casval!
[06:43] ---
    U.C. 0077.
[06:47] ---
    Under the command of Garma Zabi,
    the uprising of some 200 academy cadets

[06:52] ---
    forced the E.F.F. security forces
    to lay down their arms.

[07:01] ---
    This incident, which would later
    be known as the Dawn Rebellion,

[07:05] ---
    would become the starting point
    of the One Year War,

[07:09] ---
    the greatest tragedy
    in human history.

[07:12] ---
    Meanwhile, at Side 7, which housed
    a secret Federation factory...

[07:19] ---
    Amuro Ray, age 13!
[07:23] ---
    ...Tem Ray was also conducting research
    into mobile suit development.

[07:27] ---
    This is... Side 7.
[07:44] ---
    MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM
    THE ORIGIN IV
[07:54] ---
    It's a tickertape parade for
    the Guardian Banchi heroes!

[07:58] ---
    It is to celebrate these
    mere 200 academy cadets

[08:03] ---
    who foiled the Federation Forces'
    security operation scheme!

[08:06] ---
    And the leader of this Dawn Rebellion
    was our very own Garma Zabi!

[08:11] ---
    Garma!
[08:14] ---
    Garma!
[08:17] ---
    Cadet leader Garma
    is waving to the crowd!

[08:21] ---
    Following behind him are photos of
    those cadets who fell in the battle.

[08:26] ---
    They are proud portraits of youths who
    gave their lives for their homeland!

[08:31] ---
    I demand an explanation!
    What's the meaning of that nonsense?!
[08:34] ---
    They're criminals! The Federation
    demands that they all be punished
[08:38] ---
    and that the ringleader
    be handed over!
[08:40] ---
    The "ringleader"
    is my younger brother.
[08:44] ---
    You expect me to
    hand him over anyway?
[08:45] ---
    I don't care who he is!
[08:54] ---
    I've been briefed.
[08:56] ---
    Vice Admiral Revil.
[09:00] ---
    Allow me to express my
    condolences for the losses
[09:03] ---
    suffered by your
    officers and men.
[09:05] ---
    We will take appropriate
    measures without delay.
[09:08] ---
    But perhaps there is someone
    in a more suitable position
[09:13] ---
    to take the blame
    than young Garma.
[09:22] ---
    The Republic of Zeon's sole concern is
    to avoid similar incidents in the future.
[09:28] ---
    I would like to use
    this unfortunate incident
[09:31] ---
    as an opportunity to build a new
    relationship with the Federation.
[09:35] ---
    However,
[09:37] ---
    it will be on the condition of the
    seizure of Federation assets here
[09:41] ---
    and the complete withdrawal
    of Federation forces.
[09:52] ---
    You halfwit!
[09:56] ---
    Why do you think I assigned you
    as the academy's superintendent?!
[10:01] ---
    Your job, above all else,
    is to protect Garma!
[10:06] ---
    Listen closely, you useless oaf!
[10:13] ---
    Excuse me...
[10:15] ---
    I'm not interrupting
    anything important, am I?
[10:20] ---
    No, we're done here.
[10:22] ---
    Garma, come to my chambers.
[10:27] ---
    Father seems to be
    in a bad mood...
[10:31] ---
    I shouldn't have done
    what I did?
[10:35] ---
    It's fine, Garma.
[10:37] ---
    This has made you
    a true Zabi man.
[10:41] ---
    You think so?
[10:45] ---
    The important thing
    is that you weren't hurt.
[10:48] ---
    Your body is important to the nation.
    You must treat it with respect.
[10:53] ---
    Gihren, Dozle, and Kycilia
    are all bloodthirsty by nature.
[10:57] ---
    Of all my children, only you
    have a gentle disposition.
[11:01] ---
    I should have had you
    become a scholar
[11:04] ---
    instead of enrolling you
    at the academy.
[11:07] ---
    Come here Garma.
[11:11] ---
    Come over and take my hand.
[11:20] ---
    Well? Is my hand cold?
[11:27] ---
    No. It's warm.
    Very warm.
[11:32] ---
    Is it?
    Your cheek is also warm.
[11:37] ---
    Stay like this a while, Garma.
[11:42] ---
    I feel terrible for what
    I've done to you.
[11:46] ---
    It's not right to have children
    when you've grown old.
[12:00] ---
    Anyone can guess that you're the
    one who talked Garma into it.
[12:05] ---
    So don't think that you're getting
    a raw deal as a scapegoat.
[12:09] ---
    Do you have anything
    to say for yourself?
[12:12] ---
    I do not, Colonel!
[12:14] ---
    I like your resolve.
    All right, then...
[12:18] ---
    What are your plans from here?
[12:20] ---
    I thought I would take this
    opportunity to see Earth.
[12:24] ---
    "Opportunity", huh?
[12:28] ---
    If that is all, Cadet Char Aznable
    now mustering out as a private.
[12:33] ---
    I am in your debt.
[12:35] ---
    Sure. Take care.
[12:39] ---
    Oh. Colonel, I do have
    one favor to ask.
[12:43] ---
    If I should ever be called
    back into service,
[12:46] ---
    please assign me to be
    a mobile suit pilot.
[12:50] ---
    Mobile suit?
[12:54] ---
    Garma blabbed about it, huh?
[12:56] ---
    All right, I'll keep you in mind!
[13:00] ---
    Thank you for your
    consideration, sir.
[13:05] ---
    Cadet Zenna Mia reporting!
[13:19] ---
    What are you two doing?
    Give us the room immediately!
[13:31] ---
    You're not packing heat today?
[13:34] ---
    N-No, sir!
[13:35] ---
    I'm being forced to resign my post
    here as a result of this incident.
[13:40] ---
    I'm falling on my sword to
    take responsibility. Harakiri.
[13:43] ---
    I-I see...
[13:51] ---
    Even a man like me...
    can be hurt sometimes.
[13:57] ---
    I-I see...
[13:59] ---
    And there... are times when
    I want to be comforted.
[14:07] ---
    I never considered
    taking a wife,
[14:10] ---
    but I'm embarrassed to say
    that I am now.
[14:16] ---
    Will you bear the children
    of Dozle Zabi?
[14:32] ---
    Move! Let us through!
[14:34] ---
    As if, you Zeon bastard!
[14:35] ---
    Why can we only take
    this much with us?!
[14:38] ---
    Just you wait! I'll give you
    something to complain about!
[14:41] ---
    - Announcing final boarding for Flight 702 to Earth.
[14:44] ---
    There are no more tickets!
[14:46] ---
    No stopping!
[14:48] ---
    Keep it moving! Keep it moving!
[15:03] ---
    Eve of Destiny
[15:11] ---
    MANAUS
[15:18] ---
    Agha! Deal with them!
[16:02] ---
    Okay, kid!
[16:04] ---
    Break time! Take five!
[16:09] ---
    Those bastards at Zeonic
    are unbelievable.
[16:12] ---
    They say they're terminating
    the lease on that.
[16:16] ---
    Do they really mean it?
[16:17] ---
    Yeah, things are starting
    to look dicey out there.
[16:21] ---
    They say if folks aren't careful,
    we could be looking at a war.
[16:25] ---
    Hey, kid. Where'd you learn
    how to drive a mobile worker?
[16:31] ---
    With those Zeonic bastards.
[16:35] ---
    I worked in their development
    department. I got fired.
[16:39] ---
    Those Zeons really
    are bastards.
[16:53] ---
    This place sure is booming now.
[16:57] ---
    Whoa, they even opened a casino?
[17:08] ---
    I lost again!
[17:10] ---
    Foreman, let's call
    it a night, okay?
[17:12] ---
    No, just one more spin!
[17:16] ---
    Please! You gotta spot me!
    I'll repay you next payday!
[17:19] ---
    Hey! Help me!
[17:22] ---
    My master wishes to play.
[17:25] ---
    Stand aside, paupers.
[17:36] ---
    He won!
[17:38] ---
    On a straight-up bet!
[17:39] ---
    That's a 36X payout!
[17:44] ---
    Next game!
[18:03] ---
    Another straight-up bet!
[18:09] ---
    No more bets!
[18:23] ---
    Change dealers!
[18:30] ---
    Hi!
[18:37] ---
    Game... start!
[18:50] ---
    He lost!
[18:52] ---
    He lost again!
[18:55] ---
    He lost big again!
[19:03] ---
    What the hell?
[19:04] ---
    His streak's over already?
[19:21] ---
    Hey.
[19:25] ---
    What're you doing?
[19:28] ---
    Did you get an earful yesterday?
[19:32] ---
    Who are you?
[19:34] ---
    I was at the casino yesterday.
[19:40] ---
    Why did you start losing
    all of a sudden?
[19:43] ---
    Because that woman
    was so bad at her job.
[19:49] ---
    Please stay away from me.
[19:51] ---
    If you talk to me, bad things
    will happen to you.
[19:54] ---
    Oh? Those old men
    sound like scary customers.
[20:00] ---
    What's that?
[20:11] ---
    Your family, huh? It's a big one.
[20:15] ---
    Where are they?
[20:17] ---
    Mumbai.
[20:18] ---
    India, huh?
    You're a long way from home.
[20:20] ---
    You must want to go back.
[20:22] ---
    I'm sending them money.
[20:26] ---
    It's better for them to have money
    than to have me.
[20:31] ---
    Still, this is in rough shape.
[20:34] ---
    It got that way when it got wet.
    Do you think it can be fixed?
[20:39] ---
    Sure it can.
[20:41] ---
    Just scan it, correct the image data,
    and then reprint it.
[20:44] ---
    Really?
[20:46] ---
    Then please do! It's my only picture
    of them, so it means the world to me!
[20:50] ---
    Lalah!
[20:55] ---
    You're out here
    chatting up men again?!
[21:08] ---
    That's a fine boat you have.
[21:11] ---
    It must have cost you
    a pretty penny.
[21:13] ---
    And where did that money
    come from, Mr. Genius Gambler?
[21:29] ---
    I-It's those guys from Manaus!
[21:39] ---
    Agha! Agha!
[21:42] ---
    Foreman! Time to go!
[21:55] ---
    Damn it all!
[21:57] ---
    This isn't over!
[22:00] ---
    Look kid, we don't need trouble
    like him on our doorstep.
[22:04] ---
    - It wasn't by choice. He tagged along.
    - Who do you think I am?!
[22:07] ---
    I won't let some hayseed
    Manaus mobsters
[22:11] ---
    - get the better of me!
    - Excuse me.
[22:14] ---
    Someone named "Agha" is here.
[22:16] ---
    He says he's with you.
[22:18] ---
    Oh, he's here?
[22:23] ---
    Agha! It's good to see you
    safe and sound!
[22:31] ---
    Master, I am going
    to join them.
[22:36] ---
    What?!
[22:38] ---
    They made me
    a more generous offer.
[22:41] ---
    How dare you say that
    to me, you ingrate!
[22:45] ---
    Who do you have to thank
    for the good life you've...
[22:53] ---
    Don't! I'm sorry!
[22:55] ---
    I'll pay you more!
[23:08] ---
    No!
[23:12] ---
    No! No!
[23:14] ---
    Hold it.
[23:17] ---
    Leave the girl and go.
[23:19] ---
    Which would you prefer to lose?
    An arm? Or your head?
[23:24] ---
    Neither one, thanks.
[23:27] ---
    No, don't!
[23:32] ---
    I can see you
    even in the shadows!
[23:51] ---
    You got lucky.
[23:57] ---
    No one can dodge this!
[24:52] ---
    Men of the Jaburo Construction Office!
    Be good and do as I say!

[24:59] ---
    An Indian girl
    is holed up in there!

[25:03] ---
    Send her out!
[25:04] ---
    Foreman!
[25:05] ---
    She's a little thing
[25:07] ---
    with a dot on her forehead!
[25:10] ---
    I know she's in there!
[25:13] ---
    I'll give you three minutes!
[25:14] ---
    Stand up.
[25:15] ---
    Don't make trouble, just hand her over.
[25:16] ---
    Run after me. Keep up.
[25:19] ---
    Jaburo construction workers are
    my most valued customers!

[25:24] ---
    I don't want to resort
    to violence, either.

[25:27] ---
    Don't make this difficult!
    Just hand over the girl!

[25:34] ---
    I'm not gonna
    eat her or anything!

[25:37] ---
    I'm gonna treat her
    like royalty at my casino!

[25:42] ---
    Time's up!
[25:43] ---
    Get in there! If anybody tries
    to stop you, kill 'em!
[26:04] ---
    Wh-What the hell is that?!
[26:09] ---
    "Lalah", was it?
[26:13] ---
    What do you suppose that was?
[26:16] ---
    What?
[26:20] ---
    I couldn't have seen that weapon
    coming from behind me,
[26:23] ---
    but I sensed it and
    dodged at the last second.
[26:27] ---
    Did you say something
    to warn me?
[26:30] ---
    No.
[26:34] ---
    I see. That's strange.
[26:51] ---
    Foreman, sorry about the mess.
    I'll return it before the lease is up.
[26:57] ---
    Lalah, if you really
    don't want to go home,
[27:01] ---
    how about going
    someplace far away?
[27:04] ---
    Where is this faraway place?
    America? Japan?
[27:08] ---
    No. Someplace even farther.
[27:14] ---
    The world of the stars.
[27:23] ---
    Thanks to reckless acts by
    some irresponsible individuals,
[27:25] ---
    our relations with Zeon
    have worsened markedly.
[27:30] ---
    CHAIRMAN, E.F.F. JOINT
    CHIEFS OF STAFF
[27:32] ---
    The world, it seems,
[27:34] ---
    is intent on taking this all the way.
[27:34] ---
    ADMIRAL GOPP
[27:41] ---
    Is the RX-78 Project
    proceeding smoothly?
[27:45] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[27:47] ---
    You were Dr. Minovsky's
    star pupil, I hear.
[27:51] ---
    Yes, sir.
[27:52] ---
    This footage was leaked to us through
    our back channel to Dr. Minovsky.
[27:57] ---
    Give us your honest opinion.
[28:05] ---
    MS-04?
[28:07] ---
    They call them
    "mobile suits", apparently.
[28:17] ---
    We will be docking
    at Side 7 momentarily.

[28:20] ---
    Please remain in your seats.
[28:26] ---
    Area A Baoa Qu...
[28:29] ---
    We're unfamiliar with that zone.
[28:33] ---
    Reminds me of those construction
    machines called "mobile workers".
[28:37] ---
    Yes, we have them at our Jaburo
    base construction site, too.
[28:39] ---
    No! This is something
    else entirely.
[28:41] ---
    It's evolved into something utterly different.
[28:45] ---
    This must be A Baoa Qu.
[28:49] ---
    An asteroid they're using
    for mineral resources.
[28:52] ---
    It's equipped with a shield
    and a heavy weapon.
[28:55] ---
    I suppose this is
    its combat mode.
[28:58] ---
    100mm projectile rounds!
[29:00] ---
    That's on par with
    a tank cannon, right?
[29:03] ---
    That's a freighter.
    Arcana-class, they're called.
[29:18] ---
    That's just to show off.
[29:20] ---
    It'll take more than 100mm rounds
    to take down one of our ships.
[29:24] ---
    Our newly-developed MBT,
    the RCX-76 Guncannon, has bigger-
[29:32] ---
    No!
[29:33] ---
    Dr. Minovsky... has finally done it!
[29:39] ---
    Admiral Gopp! Didn't you say
    that you got this footage
[29:44] ---
    through your channels
    to Dr. Minovsky?
[29:48] ---
    Let's continue this outside, Ray.
[29:53] ---
    Defecting?
    Dr. Minovsky is defecting?
[29:56] ---
    I suppose you could say
    that he's been poached.
[29:59] ---
    By Anaheim Electronics
    from Zeonic.
[30:04] ---
    Will you go to the Moon
    for me, Chief Ray?
[30:07] ---
    T-To the Moon, sir?
[30:10] ---
    The Doctor will be heading
    from Granada,
[30:14] ---
    where the Zeonic factory
    is located, to Von Braun.
[30:17] ---
    I'd like you to help with that.
[30:21] ---
    I wasn't sure just how valuable
    Dr. Minovsky actually was,
[30:27] ---
    but when I heard your appraisal
    of that footage, I knew for certain.
[30:30] ---
    I hate to send you off again after you
    just arrived from that distant colony.
[30:36] ---
    Don't you find it fascinating, Ray?
[30:40] ---
    Jaburo can't be seen far up
    the Amazon from here in Brasilia,
[30:46] ---
    but the Moon is plainly visible
    even though it's much farther away.
[30:49] ---
    Space might prove to be a
    smaller place than we think it is.
[30:57] ---
    If Dr. Minovsky takes
    a leadership position,

[31:00] ---
    your project at Side 7
    might make even greater strides.

[31:15] ---
    Make sure you eat, you hear?
[31:17] ---
    Bye, now!
    See you again tomorrow!
[31:20] ---
    Make sure you get up early!
    Don't be late for school!
[31:24] ---
    Bye-bye, Haro.
[31:26] ---
    Bye-bye, Fraw.
[31:31] ---
    Are you Amuro's father?
    It's nice to meet you.
[31:35] ---
    And you are?
[31:37] ---
    My name is Fraw Bow.
    We're classmates.
[31:40] ---
    I live nearby.
[31:41] ---
    Oh, I see.
[31:44] ---
    He tells me that you're
    always busy with work.
[31:47] ---
    But, well, about Amuro...
[31:51] ---
    I feel bad about
    how he's always alone...
[31:56] ---
    Please try to talk to him more.
[32:00] ---
    I-I'm sorry. Goodbye!
[32:08] ---
    Amuro! I'm home!
[32:11] ---
    It's a pigsty again...
[32:14] ---
    Welcome back.
[32:15] ---
    At least try to clean up a little!
    It's filthy in here!
[32:19] ---
    I have another business trip.
    I have to go to the Moon this time.
[32:24] ---
    It's very important work.
[32:28] ---
    Haro hurts. Ouch.
[32:32] ---
    Make some coffee.
[32:34] ---
    Yes, Dad.
[32:35] ---
    I'm going to be even busier now.
    So you need to...
[32:38] ---
    Amuro!
[32:42] ---
    Put some pants on!
    Don't be a slob!
[32:45] ---
    Y-Yes, Dad!
[32:46] ---
    You had a girl over
    dressed like that?!
[32:52] ---
    Of all the... When is that boy
    going to grow up?
[33:06] ---
    LUNAR CITY GRANADA
[33:13] ---
    We have arrived at Granada.
[33:15] ---
    We're finally here, Doctor.
[33:16] ---
    Please remain patient until we have berthed.
[33:19] ---
    It won't be much longer now.
[33:36] ---
    We've arrived, Excellency.
[33:42] ---
    Let's debark, Catherine.
[33:44] ---
    Yes, let's, Major Bergmann.
[33:51] ---
    I'm told that Dr. Minovsky
[33:53] ---
    is heading straight to Zeonic
    from the spaceport.
[33:56] ---
    Are we to proceed as planned?
[33:59] ---
    "Catherine, shall we stick
    to our plans?"
[34:02] ---
    Sh-Shall we stick
    to our plans, Catherine?
[34:06] ---
    I suppose.
[34:14] ---
    It sure is dark.
[34:15] ---
    The far side of the Moon is pitch black.
    At night, anyway.

[34:20] ---
    This is taking forever!
[34:22] ---
    No jumping.
    You'll kick up dust.
[34:25] ---
    Just walk slowly.
    There's no rush.
[34:29] ---
    We just need to reach the edge
    of Mare Smythii within 12 hours.
[34:34] ---
    I assume we'll get a break between
    then and now, Captain, sir?

[34:39] ---
    It's no five-star hotel,
[34:41] ---
    but our red friend will be waiting
    for us up ahead with coffee.
[34:46] ---
    That guy!
[34:48] ---
    I can't stand that red jerk!
[34:51] ---
    They say he was made an MS pilot
    with hardly any training!
[34:56] ---
    I hear he's a military academy
    washout with a criminal record!
[35:00] ---
    He must've really
    sucked up to Col. Dozle!
[35:04] ---
    Must be a smooth talker.
[35:06] ---
    I wouldn't know about that,
    but he's definitely got talent.
[35:09] ---
    Heavens!
[35:10] ---
    Our good Capt. Ral's
    turning into a big softie, too!
[35:13] ---
    Gaia, make those two shut up!
[35:17] ---
    You'll just have to
    grin and bear it.

[35:20] ---
    Those two are worked up, is all.
[35:23] ---
    Since this is supposed to turn into
    the first mobile suit battle ever.

[35:45] ---
    Dr. Minovsky has left for
    the industrial zone.

[35:49] ---
    He is moving ahead of schedule.
[35:52] ---
    It looks like our leak
    worked perfectly.
[35:54] ---
    Excellency!
[35:55] ---
    The Doctor has already...
[35:59] ---
    B-Begging your pardon, ma'am!
[36:01] ---
    Or Catherine, I should sa...
[36:09] ---
    Now, if you'd be so kind
    as to escort me, Major?
[36:13] ---
    I'd be honored to,
    Missus Catherine.
[36:16] ---
    Er... Would you mind if
    I asked a question?
[36:21] ---
    What is it?
[36:23] ---
    Um, would it be all right
    if I wiped this off?
[36:29] ---
    Do whatever you like,
    Mr. Bergmann.
[36:35] ---
    Have a pleasant evening, Madam.
[36:39] ---
    Are you two going out for a night
    on the town in Granada?
[36:42] ---
    That's right. I suppose
    we were curious.
[36:45] ---
    Take us someplace with
    a good club atmosphere.
[36:50] ---
    LUNAR CITY VON BRAUN
[36:59] ---
    You can't do that!
    It would make trouble for us!
[37:04] ---
    I hate to break it to you after coming
    all the way from Side 7, but still!
[37:09] ---
    L-Look, I've heard all about it.
[37:12] ---
    About Dr. Minovsky defecting...
[37:16] ---
    I know he's coming here, too!
[37:19] ---
    But what did you hope to accomplish
    by coming here at the 11th hour?!
[37:23] ---
    But Admiral Gopp told me personally
    that Anaheim had poached him!
[37:27] ---
    The head office did all that!
    They don't have a clue!
[37:30] ---
    Listen, our RCX-76 Project is coming
    along just fine, thank you very much!
[37:38] ---
    Fine! See for yourself!
[37:41] ---
    Take a look at our
    latest production line.
[37:50] ---
    Look at that! Completed units are
    already rolling off the line!
[37:55] ---
    We've already started making
    deliveries to the military.
[37:58] ---
    Their test results
    are excellent, too!
[38:01] ---
    I hear that over at Zeonic,
    their MS-04 is over budget,
[38:05] ---
    so they're developing the MS-05,
    which is lower-spec.
[38:09] ---
    Anything that happens out there,
    I hear about it!
[38:13] ---
    Just like I know that your RX-78
    is starting to fall behind schedule.
[38:19] ---
    I don't think there will be any
    need for the RX-78 anytime soon.
[38:24] ---
    Oh, I know! Why don't you ask
    him to tell you all about it?
[38:29] ---
    He's your honored mentor, isn't he?
[38:31] ---
    So you make sure that Dr. Minovsky
    is given a warm welcome!
[38:57] ---
    This isn't it.
[38:59] ---
    This isn't what Dr. Minovsky
[39:04] ---
    called a "mobile suit"!
[39:06] ---
    This isn't it!
[39:53] ---
    Von Braun!
    Von Braun, come in!
[39:55] ---
    This is TYM!
[39:57] ---
    The plan is in motion.
    Be prepared to receive.
[40:09] ---
    Have left Granada city limits.
    Proceeding westwards on Route 1!
[40:13] ---
    ETA to Abul Wafa, 10 hours.
[40:20] ---
    Everything is going according to plan.
    The Doctor is currently at this point.
[40:24] ---
    He has a long way to go. We have
    a welcoming party for him, right?
[40:28] ---
    Moving heat sources
    detected in Mare Smythii!
[40:31] ---
    Likely to be the new Zeon
    humanoid weapons!
[40:35] ---
    They have those on the Moon?
    How many?
[40:39] ---
    Four, sir! Confirmed!
[40:42] ---
    Just four, huh?
[40:44] ---
    Dispatch the Iron Cavalry Squadron!
[40:46] ---
    The squadron?
    All of them, sir?
[40:49] ---
    That's right.
[40:50] ---
    I wouldn't normally use
    a sledgehammer to swat a fly,
[40:53] ---
    but opening engagements
    are critical.
[40:56] ---
    Commander!
[40:57] ---
    Please let me go to
    the battle site, too.
[41:00] ---
    I want to see Guncannons in
    action with my own two eyes.
[41:10] ---
    So, they're sending mobile suits...
[41:14] ---
    To prevent the defection
    of Dr. Minovsky,

[41:18] ---
    the man who created them...
[41:21] ---
    Emergency mobilization alert.
    Emergency mobilization alert.

[41:25] ---
    Iron Cavalry Squadron,
    prepare to mobilize.

[41:28] ---
    Emergency mobilization alert.
    Emergency mobilization alert.

[41:31] ---
    Iron Cavalry Squadron,
    prepare to mobilize.

[41:37] ---
    Erdush squadron,
    launch preparations complete!
[42:03] ---
    The Federation forces at
    Von Braun have mobilized.
[42:06] ---
    They've apparently sent out their
    prized Iron Cavalry Squadron.
[42:10] ---
    Have they now?
[42:11] ---
    This is shaping up to be
    a night to remember!
[42:28] ---
    Twilight on the Moon, huh?
[42:31] ---
    You! Red!
[42:34] ---
    You're not where you're supposed to be!
    Why aren't you sending out a beacon?

[42:39] ---
    Must I answer the question?
[42:42] ---
    Damn right you do!
[42:43] ---
    Where does a private get off
    talking to me like that?!

[42:47] ---
    I'll answer it, then. Because a beacon
    would be detected by the enemy.
[42:51] ---
    Didn't you manage to find me
    without one, Warrant Officer?
[42:57] ---
    Quiet down.
[43:04] ---
    The rabbit's getting close.
[43:11] ---
    It's about damn time!
[43:13] ---
    Rabbit-hunting, huh?
[43:15] ---
    Don't shoot yet!
    We stop it first!
[43:32] ---
    This is TYM! Mobile suits
    were waiting for us!
[43:43] ---
    Help us!
[43:45] ---
    Understood! Moving to
    assist at once!
[43:57] ---
    Flee to outside of
    Granada-controlled sector!
[44:05] ---
    Why?
[44:09] ---
    Why would you do this, Doctor?!
[44:13] ---
    We developed these
    mobile suits together!
[44:18] ---
    Doctor! This is Capt. Ral!
[44:21] ---
    I guarantee your safety!
    I want you to come back!

[44:26] ---
    We're done for!
[44:28] ---
    We'll be fine! Federation help
    is on the way!
[44:32] ---
    There's no escaping them!
[44:36] ---
    Don't shoot yet, Gaia!
[44:38] ---
    You're wasting your breath, Captain!
[44:40] ---
    We have to finish him off
    right now!
[44:47] ---
    Single red mobile suit spotted.
    Four more up ahead.
[44:52] ---
    The Doctor's vehicle also spotted.
[44:59] ---
    Five? Weren't there four?
[45:03] ---
    Well, no matter!
[45:11] ---
    That son of a...
[45:12] ---
    He started without us!
[45:18] ---
    These are fair game, right?!
[45:23] ---
    Forces have engaged!
[45:25] ---
    Right, then.
    Squadron! All units, drop!
[45:35] ---
    Protect the Doctor's car!
[45:38] ---
    We'll surround the enemy
    and wipe them out!
[45:50] ---
    They're here!
[45:51] ---
    They're here!
[45:52] ---
    It's a Federation mobile suit force!
    Doctor, we're safe now!
[45:57] ---
    Targets 01 through 04!
    Range, 400!
[46:01] ---
    Fire!
[46:37] ---
    Your ass is mine!
[46:50] ---
    Keep it up!
[46:51] ---
    We'll show them what real
    mobile suits can do!
[46:58] ---
    No you don't!
    I won't let you go, Doctor!
[47:15] ---
    We can't, sir!
[47:16] ---
    They're fighting!
    I won't take us any closer!
[47:19] ---
    You fool! What do you think
    we came here for?!
[47:24] ---
    Don't take your eyes off
    those sensors!
[47:30] ---
    I can't believe they've
    advanced this far...
[47:34] ---
    Oh, no! They'll be wiped out!
[47:37] ---
    Retreat!
    Recover them and retreat!
[48:21] ---
    You call those toys mobile suits?!
[48:27] ---
    What's that?
    The red punk did that?
[48:32] ---
    Way to hog the fun stuff,
    you bastard!
[48:47] ---
    Another one down!
[49:02] ---
    I-It can't be...
[49:06] ---
    There are heat sources everywhere!
[49:08] ---
    Infrared sensors not functioning!
[49:15] ---
    Dr. Minovsky!
[49:34] ---
    Gaia? Let that one go!
[49:36] ---
    Don't do it!
[49:47] ---
    Don't do it!
[50:35] ---
    I'm afraid I must refuse.
[50:37] ---
    Granada is neutral territory.
    We cannot side with Zeon
[50:41] ---
    and take part in a war.
[50:45] ---
    As fellow lunar cities,
    we and Von Braun
[50:48] ---
    have maintained
    cordial relations for years.
[50:53] ---
    I cannot take part in something
    that is predicated
[50:57] ---
    on betraying that relationship.
[51:03] ---
    Just a moment.
[51:11] ---
    I see. Well done.
[51:14] ---
    Give Capt. Ral my regards.
[51:17] ---
    Mr. Mayor, I've been informed
    that my men have wiped out
[51:21] ---
    a squadron-sized Federation
    mechanized force at Mare Smythii.
[51:26] ---
    You should take this to heart.
    Zeon already possesses such power.
[51:32] ---
    That's impossible! I must confirm this
    with Prime Minister Gihren at once!
[51:36] ---
    Refer to him as
    Supreme Commander Gihren!
[51:41] ---
    Zeon is no longer a republic,
    but rather a principality.
[51:46] ---
    My father, Degwin, will name
    himself its sovereign
[51:48] ---
    and declare our independence
    any time now!
[51:51] ---
    B-Be that as it may, I must...
    I must confirm this...
[51:57] ---
    Be careful on your way home.
    Granada is dangerous at night.
[52:03] ---
    Major Bergmann.
[52:05] ---
    How does he know about the war?
[52:10] ---
    I merely requested that we be
    allowed to garrison a force
[52:14] ---
    here at Granada equal to
    that of the Federation.
[52:18] ---
    I didn't say a word about using it as
    a launching point to attack Von Braun!
[52:22] ---
    I, uh... That is-
[52:26] ---
    The Kycilia Secret Agency
    has no need for blabbermouths.
[52:29] ---
    F-Forgive me, Missus Catherine...
[52:36] ---
    Imbecile.
[52:41] ---
    We can drop the charade now.
[53:08] ---
    Our company must adopt
    a new policy without delay!
[53:12] ---
    The RCX-76 force we delivered
[53:16] ---
    was wiped out by a mere
    five mobile suits!
[53:19] ---
    The score is 12 to 0!
    A shutout!
[53:26] ---
    You talk like this doesn't
    involve you, Mr. Ray.
[53:28] ---
    You're a part of this, too!
[53:31] ---
    He's right!
[53:32] ---
    You're partly to blame!
[53:33] ---
    Yes. The blame certainly
    does lie partly with me.
[53:37] ---
    So please, let me take
    full responsibility.
[53:41] ---
    Help me advance the next phase
    of the RX Project!
[53:45] ---
    You're trying to turn this to
    your advantage, is that it?!
[53:48] ---
    Butt out!
[53:49] ---
    I will leave. Gladly.
[53:52] ---
    What will become of mobile suit
    development after this?
[53:57] ---
    You'll halt it, won't you?
[53:59] ---
    And simply throw in
    the towel to Zeonic!
[54:03] ---
    Dr. Minovsky tried to defect
    with the intention of working with us,
[54:09] ---
    but he died before
    he could do so!
[54:11] ---
    I saw it happen, but couldn't
    do anything to save him!
[54:15] ---
    We should carry on his work!
[54:17] ---
    Easier said than done...
[54:19] ---
    I can certainly
    sympathize, but, well...
[54:21] ---
    You needn't worry.
    The project is coming along.
[54:25] ---
    It's almost done.
[54:29] ---
    Allow me to show it to you!
    Our definitive plan!
[54:36] ---
    Behold! I give you the RX-78!
[54:43] ---
    Codename, "Gundam"!
[54:50] ---
    Dad?
[54:53] ---
    Is he back?
[54:59] ---
    Sorry!
[55:02] ---
    Ouch. Ouch.
[55:13] ---
    He didn't lock it when he left...
[55:15] ---
    Don't go in, Amuro.
[55:17] ---
    He'll get mad.
    He'll get mad. Hey!
[55:20] ---
    Don't go in!
[55:47] ---
    U.C. 0078, October 24th.
[55:53] ---
    REPUBLIC OF ZEON RATIFIES
    CHANGE TO PRINCIPALITY
[55:53] ---
    The Republic of Zeon ratifies
    its change into a principality.

[55:57] ---
    DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM
    FEDERATION AT SAME TIME
[55:57] ---
    At the same time, it declares its
    independence from the Federation.

[56:04] ---
    Sieg Zeon!
[56:06] ---
    Sieg Zeon!
[56:08] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[56:13] ---
    EARTH FEDERATION FORCES GENERAL HQ
[56:17] ---
    Revil. Do you think it's finally time
    to carry out the relocation to Jaburo?
[56:23] ---
    I suppose it is.
[56:25] ---
    Gihren Zabi is a man
    who will stop at nothing.
[56:29] ---
    Who could have predicted it?
[56:32] ---
    To think that war has come upon us
    once again in this new era.
[56:37] ---
    Today is the first day after the historic
    declaration of independence.

[56:41] ---
    We're coming to you from in front
    of the Zeon Diet building.

[56:44] ---
    This feels like the veritable calm before the storm.
[56:45] ---
    See you tonight!
[56:47] ---
    Be careful.
[56:49] ---
    Don't cut through
    any construction sites!
[56:52] ---
    I won't!
[56:54] ---
    And for that reason,
[56:57] ---
    the end of the old A.D. era became a
    period of fresh conflict and poverty...
[57:06] ---
    Amuro!
[57:08] ---
    AMURO!
[57:14] ---
    Welcome home!
[57:21] ---
    Amuro!
[57:24] ---
    Want to head home together?
[57:26] ---
    Look, um...
    You seem kinda exhausted.
[57:30] ---
    You're up late every night, right?
[57:32] ---
    Did you eat dinner last night?
[57:35] ---
    I ate it!
[57:36] ---
    Oh? Well, if you say so.
[57:39] ---
    Hey, Little Miss Conduct Monitor!
[57:42] ---
    Are you giving Amuro
    a yellow card, too?
[57:45] ---
    Keeping late hours is a no-no!
[57:47] ---
    No falling asleep in class!
[57:50] ---
    Illicit sexual relations
    will not be tolerated!
[57:55] ---
    Shut up!
[57:57] ---
    Oo, scary!
[57:59] ---
    Let her give your conduct
    a good monitoring, Amuro!
[58:03] ---
    Jerks! You shouldn't associate
    with the likes of those boys!
[58:07] ---
    That Kai in particular is a delinquent!
    He's even been held back a year!
[58:11] ---
    What's the matter?
[58:12] ---
    I remembered something
    that I have to do.
[58:15] ---
    I need to make a stop.
[58:17] ---
    Amuro!
[58:20] ---
    Hey! Do you have plans
    for Christmas?
[58:24] ---
    You'll be home alone, right?
    I'll make a cake for you!
[58:29] ---
    It'll be delicious!
[58:34] ---
    Talks have broken down
[58:36] ---
    over the Zeon government's
    refusal to apologize for

[58:39] ---
    the recent battle
    on the lunar surface.

[58:42] ---
    As a result, all Sides are being
    forced to take measures.

[58:47] ---
    Is it good, Amuro?
[58:48] ---
    It is expected that as soon
    as a defensive mobilization

[58:49] ---
    Fraw is nice, isn't she?
    Haro likes Fraw. Likes, likes!
[58:50] ---
    is approved by
    the Federation assembly,

[58:54] ---
    I love Fraw!
[58:55] ---
    E.F.F. headquarters at Jaburo
    will call up

[58:56] ---
    Shut up! If you keep bugging me,
    I'll yank out your battery!
[58:57] ---
    rapid reaction forces
    from around the world.

[59:01] ---
    Furthermore, the Federation government
[59:03] ---
    is calling on citizens of all Sides
[59:04] ---
    More military jargon...
[59:06] ---
    to remain calm
    and behave responsibly.

[59:07] ---
    How is any of this colony
    construction documents?
[59:11] ---
    Riah, Side 6, has already
    declared neutrality.

[59:14] ---
    Side 2, Hatte, has sided
    with the Federation,

[59:15] ---
    Dad...
[59:17] ---
    I wonder what he's doing right now?
[59:17] ---
    taking an openly antagonistic
    stance against Zeon.

[59:21] ---
    Vice Admiral Revil,
    E.F.S.F. Supreme Commander,

[59:24] ---
    made the following statement
    in an interview:

[59:28] ---
    "I won't abandon hope
    of averting war.

[59:31] ---
    I say this because this war
[59:33] ---
    will almost certainly be
    a disaster worse than any war

[59:36] ---
    ever experienced by mankind."

[1:00:21] ---
    The Principality of Zeon and
    the Federation are now at war!

[1:00:24] ---
    From what we've confirmed,
    the lunar city of Granada

[1:00:27] ---
    has already been occupied by Zeon!
[1:00:28] ---
    A fine mess this is...
[1:00:31] ---
    Where are you going?
[1:00:32] ---
    To a friend's.
    I have a promise to keep.
[1:00:35] ---
    Come back here!
[1:00:37] ---
    You can't go out
    at a time like this!
[1:00:40] ---
    Amuro! Are you decent?
    I'm coming in!
[1:00:48] ---
    Welcome, Fraw.
    Please enjoy your stay.
[1:00:51] ---
    You're always such
    a clever boy, Haro.
[1:00:54] ---
    Please pardon the mess.
[1:00:58] ---
    Fighting continues
    in the Von Braun area.

[1:01:03] ---
    The Federation government
    is calling on all Sides to...

[1:01:11] ---
    Amuro, aren't you coming down?
    Your lasagna is getting cold!
[1:01:33] ---
    Amuro, you jerk!
[1:01:36] ---
    Why are you always sitting
    in here at that computer?!
[1:01:39] ---
    There's a war!
    Lots of people are dying!
[1:01:55] ---
    I'm sorry.
[1:02:00] ---
    I was looking forward
    to your lasagna...
[1:02:03] ---
    I really was.
[1:02:06] ---
    I'll eat it.
[1:02:08] ---
    The truth is, I'm scared
    about the war, too.
[1:02:16] ---
    But... there's nothing
    I can do about it.
[1:02:21] ---
    There's nothing I can
    do about anything.
[1:02:32] ---
    I'm sorry.
[1:02:58] ---
    Lalah, what are you
    doing right now?

[1:03:02] ---
    I'm looking at the stars.
[1:03:05] ---
    They're so pretty,
    the way they twinkle.
[1:03:08] ---
    Stars don't twinkle in space.
[1:03:11] ---
    Oh, they don't?
[1:03:14] ---
    Be a good girl and sit tight.
[1:03:16] ---
    I'll be back as soon as
    I'm done with work.
