    MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM
    The Origin VI
[00:25] ---
    Universal Century 0079, January 3rd.
[00:31] ---
    The Principality of Zeon,
    a nation founded at Side 3,

[00:34] ---
    the space colony cluster
    furthest from Earth,

[00:38] ---
    declared war on the
    Earth Federation government,

[00:41] ---
    demanding its independence.
[00:48] ---
    If you always do
    what your folks say,
[00:51] ---
    you'll never grow up
    and be your own man!
[00:55] ---
    Don't you think so?
[00:59] ---
    Let's go!
[01:02] ---
    At Side 7, which had yet
    to be touched by the war,

[01:05] ---
    Amuro, who had been roped into helping Kai
    uncover the Development Sector's secrets,

[01:11] ---
    learned that his father Tem's job was
    related to EFF military development.

[01:17] ---
    Aprils in Japan are the best.
    It's when the cherry blossoms bloom.
[01:20] ---
    Cherry blossoms?
[01:22] ---
    Go together?
[01:23] ---
    In the opening salvo of
    its war of independence,

[01:24] ---
    Yep. You and me.
[01:25] ---
    the Principality of Zeon
    attacked Side 2, called Hatte,

[01:29] ---
    which had maintained
    its anti-Zeon stance.

[01:32] ---
    It carried out Operation British,
[01:35] ---
    in which it wiped out the populace
    of Side 2's capital banchi

[01:39] ---
    using GG gas, a chemical weapon,
    and dropped it on Earth.

[02:00] ---
    Having split in three,
[02:02] ---
    the colony rained down across the Earth,
    but Zeon failed in its initial objective,

[02:08] ---
    the destruction of EFF headquarters
    at Jaburo.

[02:18] ---
    Casval Rem Deikun is alive and well!
[02:24] ---
    At around that same time,
[02:25] ---
    Artesia, now known as Sayla, who was
    in Side 5, also called Loum,

[02:26] ---
    Of course, that's only my personal
    conviction at this point.
[02:30] ---
    was rattled when Tachi told her that he
    believed her brother Casval was still alive.

[02:42] ---
    At Loum,
[02:44] ---
    clashes between pro-Zeon and pro-Federation
    factions escalated into full-blown riots.

[02:48] ---
    Sayla chose to take up arms
    and fight against attacking rioters.

[02:55] ---
    Build some barricades!
[02:58] ---
    Seal up the doors and windows!
    We'll fight them!
[03:12] ---
    Bunch of animals!
[03:16] ---
    Let's get to it!
[03:21] ---
    UC 0079, January 23rd.
[03:28] ---
    A battle finally began
    in the Loum area,

[03:31] ---
    with the Tianem Fleet, the pride
    of the EFF, and the Zeon fleet

[03:32] ---
    Sir! The Tianem Fleet
    has engaged the enemy!
[03:36] ---
    led by Vice Admiral Dozle
    slamming into each other head-on.

[03:42] ---
    The Special Assault Regiment
    that had launched from A Baoa Qu,

[03:43] ---
    Do it just like we practiced!
[03:45] ---
    Keep up!
[03:45] ---
    a mobile suit force led by Gaia, Ortega,
    and Mash, rushed to the battlefield.

[03:46] ---
    Form up on me!
[03:52] ---
    I'm the one in charge of
    the attack team, Ensign Dren.
[03:53] ---
    Char, Sayla's older brother, now a
    lieutenant junior grade in the Zeon forces,

[03:57] ---
    went out ahead of that force
    at the controls of his MS-06S.

[04:02] ---
    He became a flash of red light
[04:03] ---
    and blazed towards the Loum area.
[04:29] ---
    Rise of the Red Comet
[05:14] ---
    Retvizan heavily damaged.
    Kiel also damaged from enemy fire.
[05:17] ---
    Zatopek, engines offline!
[05:18] ---
    It's time to change formation!
    Inform all ships!
[05:22] ---
    Don't panic! Disperse and change
    heading while returning fire!
[05:26] ---
    This is do-or-die time!
    Don't fall behind!
[05:41] ---
    Sorry, but you're going to be
    wiped out in our first engagement.
[05:45] ---
    Zeon bastards...
[06:03] ---
    Adm. Dozle's Valkyrie appears
    to be changing formation.

[06:06] ---
    Four cruiser squadrons pushing in.
[06:07] ---
    Battle lines of both forces spreading out.
[06:10] ---
    Enemy formation is
    breaking down further.
[06:12] ---
    Some of their ships are still shooting back.
    Hit them with concentrated fire!
[06:47] ---
    Iwo Jima hit!
    Still returning fire!
[06:50] ---
    Admiral Dozle! My ship is lost!
    Good hunting, sir!

[06:55] ---
    I won't forget your deaths, not ever!
[07:00] ---
    Don't let the valiant struggle
    of our rear guard be in vain!
[07:03] ---
    Get us turned around!
[07:06] ---
    Set target! The enemy's
    main force! The Revil Fleet!
[07:26] ---
    Flagship Valkyrie appears
    to have changed course.
[07:29] ---
    Check again to confirm.
[07:31] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:31] ---
    Could it be a retreat maneuver?
[07:34] ---
    We've won.
[07:35] ---
    There is still a chance that
    they might regroup.
[07:38] ---
    Then we'll treat this as a pursuit battle.
    Send out our fastest advance groups.
[07:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:44] ---
    Everyone else, reestablish formation.
[07:46] ---
    We'll hunt them down
    with everything we have.
[07:49] ---
    2nd cruiser squadron, accelerating.
[07:51] ---
    4th frigate squadron, accelerating.
[07:58] ---
    Each of our forces
    has changed course.
[08:00] ---
    They are beginning to change
    to operation trajectory.
[08:03] ---
    Tianem Fleet and Revil Fleet
    have not altered course.
[08:07] ---
    Changing course in the face of the enemy?
    Is this part of the strategy?
[08:11] ---
    You fool, Tianem... You've lost sight
    of Dozle's fleet.

[08:16] ---
    However...
[08:18] ---
    Garma, boy. Where we are right now
    is about to become the front line.
[08:26] ---
    Report from advance group:
[08:29] ---
    Maintaining pursuit, but Dozle Fleet
    has dropped off scopes!
[08:32] ---
    It's what?
[08:34] ---
    They say they will need to
    conduct reconnaissance.
[08:37] ---
    Impossible.
[08:38] ---
    Minovsky particle density
    climbing further.
[08:42] ---
    It's like they're hiding in fog.
[08:44] ---
    Do we report this to HQ?
[08:46] ---
    Shall I establish a laser comm link?
[08:49] ---
    We don't want the enemy to know
    that we've lost sight of them.
[08:52] ---
    The fleet will maintain current heading.
    Also, prepare to send a coded message.
[08:56] ---
    Yes, sir!
[08:58] ---
    Where did they vanish to?
[09:01] ---
    Mr. Ryu, the engagement zone
    is dead ahead!
[09:04] ---
    It's in an area ranging
    from 10 klicks to 100 klicks.
[09:08] ---
    I can't use radar, so please
    handle the visual scan.
[09:12] ---
    What, we're counting
    on my eyeballs?
[09:16] ---
    Minovsky particle density
    is still high.
[09:19] ---
    My eyesight is bad, even with glasses.
[09:22] ---
    Hm, I think I might see something...
[09:26] ---
    Don't think it's debris...
    Still...
[09:30] ---
    I have visual confirmation, too!
[09:31] ---
    Multiple nozzle plumes!
[09:33] ---
    Must be the backside of the friendly fleet.
    It looks like they've arrived at the front line.
[09:38] ---
    Hang on...
[09:40] ---
    Is it me, or is something not right?
[09:41] ---
    Yes, they're too close...
    Their bearing, too!
[09:44] ---
    Vector analysis!
[09:45] ---
    On it, sir!
[09:46] ---
    Let's see... Approaching from
    our 2 o'clock...
[09:50] ---
    Approaching?!
[09:53] ---
    It's the enemy!
[09:53] ---
    This is Duckbill! Falcon, come in!
[09:56] ---
    We're right in the middle of the enemy!
[09:57] ---
    This is Duckbill!
[09:58] ---
    Crap, I can't get through to Falcon!
[10:05] ---
    Unidentified craft
    has crossed our course.
[10:08] ---
    What's the problem?
[10:09] ---
    It's most likely an enemy recon craft!
[10:11] ---
    What's it doing way out here?
[10:14] ---
    This could present a problem.
[10:16] ---
    No. We stick to the plan!
[10:20] ---
    Hold your course!
[10:21] ---
    Understood. Holding course.
[10:31] ---
    The shooting's completely stopped.
[10:34] ---
    All units! Load initial rounds!
[10:36] ---
    Check that safeties are engaged!
[10:42] ---
    So far, so good, I'd say!
[11:07] ---
    No sign of anything?
[11:09] ---
    I wonder what this is...
[11:11] ---
    Let me have a look.
[11:12] ---
    If it's debris, it sure doesn't
    match what's behind it.
[11:16] ---
    Those are... They're ships!
[11:20] ---
    This is right wing! Bridge!
[11:22] ---
    You're certain they're ships?
[11:24] ---
    What does CIC's intel say?
[11:27] ---
    Admiral to the bridge!
[11:30] ---
    Keep working on confirmation.
[11:35] ---
    As you were.
[11:37] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:38] ---
    So, what is our status?
[11:40] ---
    Sir. We are currently making for
    the engagement zone,
[11:43] ---
    and the fleet's acceleration
    is holding steady.
[11:55] ---
    There it is, the main Federation force!
[12:06] ---
    Bow down before me, God!
[12:13] ---
    Status of Tianem's Second Fleet?
[12:16] ---
    Sir. After engaging the enemy,
    our forces have the upper hand.
[12:20] ---
    Also, CIC relayed a report from a recon
    unit a few moments ago that said...
[12:28] ---
    Damage to 5th battleship squadron!
[12:30] ---
    What?
[12:31] ---
    I see fire!
[12:34] ---
    There's another flash!
[12:35] ---
    That's ship ♪2, the Forrestal!
[12:37] ---
    Damage to superstructure!
    Probable enemy attack!
[12:41] ---
    But from where?!
[12:47] ---
    The fire appears to be spreading
    inside the ship!
[12:49] ---
    Enemy bearing?
[12:51] ---
    Four o'clock, according to
    passive sensors.
[12:55] ---
    Deploy cruiser squadron
    towards 4 o'clock!
[12:58] ---
    16th cruiser squadron, accelerating!
    Bearing 2-0-7!
[13:05] ---
    Encoded message from Tianem Fleet!
    They've lost the Dozle Fleet!
[13:10] ---
    They've what?!
[13:11] ---
    Just before you arrived, Admiral,
[13:13] ---
    there was a report from a recon craft
    that claimed to have spotted enemy ships.
[13:17] ---
    Send out air defense squadron!
[13:18] ---
    Roger that.
[13:18] ---
    Flagship to air defense squadron...
[13:19] ---
    Prepare for anti-air battle!
[13:21] ---
    Wing to bridge!
[13:23] ---
    Direct call from lookout!
[13:25] ---
    Ships spotted! Can't identify!
[13:27] ---
    Shall I ping their IFF?
[13:28] ---
    Also getting emergency messages
     from consort ships!
[13:31] ---
    What's that?!
[13:32] ---
    Multiple ships, 12 o'clock!
[13:35] ---
    IFF unknown. They are not
    friendly forces!
[13:39] ---
    Target spotted!
    Revil's main force!
[13:42] ---
    All ahead, steady as she goes!
[13:44] ---
    All ships, full combat speed!
    Attack!
[13:48] ---
    All weapons, fire at will!
[13:56] ---
    Turn to port!
[14:09] ---
    FIRE!
[14:16] ---
    Keep firing until you run dry!
[14:19] ---
    We're gonna blow a hole
    right through their ugly mugs
[14:22] ---
    and put 'em down for good!
[14:58] ---
    Port bow and midsection,
    heavy damage!
[15:01] ---
    Fires aren't going out!
[15:05] ---
    CIC, please respond! CIC!
[15:08] ---
    No response from CIC!
    They must have been hit!
[15:12] ---
    Give the order to turn around!
[15:13] ---
    The enemy is coming around
    for another pass!
[15:15] ---
    Fleet, prepare to change course!
[15:17] ---
    A rat will bite a cat
    when cornered, huh?
[15:21] ---
    We were bitten, all right.
    Badly.
[15:24] ---
    Each squadron, form a column!
    We still have the edge in numbers!
[15:28] ---
    Port quarter hit!
[15:30] ---
    Heavy damage to engine room!
[15:33] ---
    It's coming from below us!
[15:34] ---
    It's too fast!
[15:36] ---
    These Zeons are fearsome...
[15:39] ---
    Fires, starboard side!
[15:39] ---
    Five o'clock! I see it!
[15:50] ---
    One shot left!
[15:51] ---
    Swap magazines
    while we're coming around!
[16:02] ---
    Damage report!
[16:07] ---
    Are those... people?
[16:10] ---
    No!
[16:13] ---
    They're mobile suits!
[16:16] ---
    These are mobile suits?!
[16:56] ---
    1-0-8, you are clear to launch!
[16:59] ---
    Launch clearance confirmed!
    Launch!
[17:01] ---
    1-0-9, ready to launch!
[17:03] ---
    Stream Leader to Stream Master,
    launch all birds!

[17:08] ---
    Stream Master to all units.
[17:10] ---
    Eliminate enemy vessels
    that have penetrated our fleet!

[17:12] ---
    Stream Leader, acknowledged!
[17:39] ---
    This is Duckbill,
    requesting landing clearance!
[17:42] ---
    This is Duckbill!
    Falcon, come in!
[17:47] ---
    We've already lost this many ships?
[17:49] ---
    This is Falcon Control.
[17:51] ---
    Falcon, this is Duckbill 3-0-6!
    Request landing instructions!
[17:55] ---
    Duckbill, unable to grant
    landing clearance!

[17:57] ---
    Say again?!
[17:59] ---
    Launching our attackers
    has priority right now!

[18:02] ---
    Land on another ship!
[18:07] ---
    Portside hangar hit!
[18:07] ---
    Hey! Falcon Leader! This is Duckbill!
[18:11] ---
    Falcon Leader, come in!
[18:13] ---
    Crap...
[18:13] ---
    Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
[18:26] ---
    Enemy rockets closing in
    from starboard, 4 o'clock!
[18:28] ---
    Hard to port!
[18:40] ---
    Third wave incoming!
[19:08] ---
    There she is!
[19:10] ---
    It's the Ananke!
[19:12] ---
    Their flagship, huh?
[19:16] ---
    So that's Revil's ship...
[19:19] ---
    We're gonna hit it!
[19:20] ---
    Yeah!
[19:29] ---
    You're going after the bridge, Mash?
[19:31] ---
    One more time!
[19:42] ---
    Damage report!
[19:43] ---
    Fire in the engine room!
    They're having trouble putting it out!
[19:46] ---
    We have three mobile suits on us!
[19:48] ---
    Admiral!
[19:49] ---
    Primary power holding steady!
[19:51] ---
    Our engine has also been hit!
    Prepare to transfer flag!
[19:55] ---
    All hands, abandon ship immediately!
[19:56] ---
    Stand down from fire control!
    Prepare to abandon ship!
[19:58] ---
    I repeat, all hands abandon
    ship immediately!
[20:00] ---
    All hands, abandon ship at once!
[20:09] ---
    Go get 'em, Mash!
[20:11] ---
    Pipe down and watch this!
[20:13] ---
    I'll finish them off!
[20:55] ---
    Those are nice and small.
    They're more challenging targets!
[21:04] ---
    Hold your fire, take a closer look.
[21:07] ---
    That's the admiral's flag.
[22:04] ---
    Where... am I?
[22:08] ---
    Oh... I'm in space.
[22:12] ---
    I thought my number was up...
[22:15] ---
    People die and become trash
    at the drop of a hat.
[22:20] ---
    More trash is coming to join me.
[22:24] ---
    Hey, Four-eyes! Four-eyes!
[22:50] ---
    Three rounds left, hm?
    Can I take down two more?
[22:57] ---
    He's fast...
[22:58] ---
    A red mobile suit...
[23:00] ---
    It's Lt. Char!
[23:04] ---
    That jerk!
[23:05] ---
    Is that Char?
[23:07] ---
    That's triple normal speed...
[23:10] ---
    The guy's a veritable red comet.
[23:49] ---
    He took out a cruiser
    with a single bazooka rocket?
[23:52] ---
    How in the world
    can I compete against that?
[23:57] ---
    Lt. Char!
[24:00] ---
    Chief Petty Officer Cozun.
[24:01] ---
    I have a spare magazine, sir.
    Shall I top you off?

[24:06] ---
    You should focus on your own glory
    instead of mine.

[24:09] ---
    No, sir, I was merely--
[24:11] ---
    You were one of
    Lt. Ramba Ral's men, weren't you?

[24:13] ---
    Y-Yes, sir...
[24:15] ---
    Work hard enough to do the part of the
    Lieutenant, who was unable to join us.

[24:40] ---
    Congratulations.
[24:44] ---
    What a grand victory for our forces.
    Please accept my sincere congratulations.
[24:48] ---
    We have the Supreme Commander's
    masterful leadership to thank.
[24:53] ---
    I failed to recognize your brilliance.
[24:55] ---
    I wasn't expecting to hear such
    lavish praise coming from you.
[25:00] ---
    This will secure us the
    quick settlement we desired.
[25:04] ---
    The peace talks are sure
    to go in our favor.
[25:09] ---
    What are you prattling on about? This was
    but the first step on the road to victory.
[25:15] ---
    We mustn't allow the fighting to end
[25:17] ---
    until we achieve our ultimate triumph!
[25:23] ---
    I had no idea that you still
    harbored such thoughts, Brother.
[25:25] ---
    Do you not know the expression
    "Adapt to meet changing circumstances," Kycilia?
[25:31] ---
    If I might ask you something?
[25:34] ---
    What is it?
[25:35] ---
    The Sovereign's ship, the Great Degwin,
    is out by herself, exposed.
[25:42] ---
    Father wished it so.
    The troops are inspired,
[25:47] ---
    and he is able to witness
    our historic victory firsthand.
[25:50] ---
    I expect he is most pleased.
[25:53] ---
    Hypothetically,
[25:54] ---
    if the Tianem Fleet were prepared
    to sacrifice itself to attack,
[25:59] ---
    would the Sovereign
    be able to stop it?
[26:03] ---
    A needless concern. The corrupt
    bureaucrat soldiers of the Federation
[26:07] ---
    do not possess the reckless
    courage to attempt such a thing.
[26:10] ---
    But if they did, hypothetically,
    what would happen?
[26:15] ---
    Need I answer that?
[26:19] ---
    No.
[26:21] ---
    This concludes the summation of the
    losses suffered by the enemy fleet.
[26:24] ---
    Dozle!
[26:25] ---
    Amazing! It's a complete victory!
[26:29] ---
    Our forces are magnificent!
[26:31] ---
    It is not over yet, Garma!
[26:35] ---
    If the Federation were to send in their
    Tianem Fleet, the one closest to the front,
[26:40] ---
    the Zeon homeland would be
    as good as defenseless.
[26:47] ---
    If they adopt a "lose the battle
    to win the war" strategy...
[26:55] ---
    Tianem Fleet Flagship, Titan
[26:58] ---
    Enemy ships, dead ahead.
    We have them on optical sensors as well!
[27:02] ---
    The large one is Gwazine-class. It is likely
    the Great Degwin, the sovereign's flagship.
[27:09] ---
    The enemy might have overcommitted
    to the Dozle Fleet
[27:12] ---
    to the point that they must
    send out even their flagship.
[27:16] ---
    If we can get past those,
    we'll be on their doorstep.
[27:19] ---
    If we strike at the Zeon homeland,
    we might be able to force a surrender.
[27:22] ---
    Admiral, our fleet has only
    sustained light losses!
[27:28] ---
    We can't.
[27:33] ---
    We will not mount a charge.
[27:36] ---
    Admiral, why not?
[27:37] ---
    This battle has already
    been decided.
[27:41] ---
    But Admiral!
[27:42] ---
    Our most pressing duty is to aid the fleeing
    Revil Fleet by covering their retreat.
[27:48] ---
    All ships, come about!
[27:49] ---
    Yes, sir!
[27:50] ---
    Attention, all ships!
    Come about in turns!
[27:53] ---
    Prepare to come about!
[27:53] ---
    Laser comm link established!
[27:54] ---
    Confirm engine pressure!
[27:55] ---
    Course is clear!
[27:56] ---
    We are not yet defeated... Not yet.
[28:24] ---
    The Tianem Fleet has turned around
    at a distance of 4,000 kilometers ahead!
[28:28] ---
    We did it! A complete victory!
[28:31] ---
    This means that we've
    truly won now, right, Father?
[28:34] ---
    Next time, I'll fight, too!
    Order me to do anything!
[28:38] ---
    I'm a soldier of the Principality, too!
[28:41] ---
    Garma. You are still young.
[28:45] ---
    Rather, still immature.
[28:48] ---
    You do not understand
    how horrible war truly is.
[28:53] ---
    Take care to never act rashly.
[28:58] ---
    Send the following order to Dozle!
[29:00] ---
    Admiral Revil has surrendered, so he
    is to be extended every courtesy!
[29:18] ---
    There is a ship returning fire
    at 10 o'clock!
[29:19] ---
    Turn to port! All ahead, full speed!
    Open fire!
[29:26] ---
    Magellan-class at 0-3-8!
[29:28] ---
    Continue firing!
[29:33] ---
    Direct hit! Direct hit!
[29:35] ---
    Minovsky particles still at combat density!
[29:36] ---
    Enemy battleship line collapsing!
[29:38] ---
    Heavy damage to Magellan-class confirmed!
[29:39] ---
    Crew has begun to abandon ship!
[29:40] ---
    It's nothing personal.
[29:42] ---
    This is the fate of the vanquished.
[29:52] ---
    Hold your fire!
[29:55] ---
    A moment of silence for the many soldiers
    of outer space who now breathe their last!
[30:00] ---
    Begin!
[30:15] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[30:19] ---
    Sieg Zeon! Sieg Zeon!
[30:23] ---
    Good job!
[30:24] ---
    Lord Degwin!
[30:24] ---
    Long live the Sovereign!
[30:26] ---
    Yahoo, we did it!
[30:27] ---
    Long live Supreme Commander Gihren!
[30:41] ---
    Gihren, a quick peace.
    That is what our aim must be.
[30:47] ---
    I believe the wisest course
    is to use this victory
[30:50] ---
    to force the Federation
    to the negotiating table.
[30:55] ---
    With all due respect...
[30:57] ---
    We will continue to be victorious.
    In our next engagement.
[31:01] ---
    And the next... until the very end.
[31:04] ---
    When we do negotiate, it will be
    at a time of our choosing
[31:08] ---
    when we deem it to be
    most advantageous for us.
[31:11] ---
    Other men said the very same thing
    before their downfall!
[31:14] ---
    Men like Napoleon and Hitler!
[31:16] ---
    The follies of ancient history
    can offer us no lessons!
[31:20] ---
    We already live outside the
    bounds of human experience
[31:24] ---
    and are cultivating our own history!
[31:27] ---
    To think that such words would
    come from my own father,
[31:30] ---
    Zeon Zum Deikun's closest comrade!
[31:33] ---
    What did Deikun tell us?!
[31:35] ---
    Did he not proudly declare that Spacenoids
    would become a new species of humanity?!
[31:41] ---
    That we would usher in the
    next stage of human evolution?!
[31:44] ---
    We have in our hands the perfect opportunity
    with which to make Deikun's ideals a reality!
[31:50] ---
    An opportunity like this
    will never visit us again.
[31:54] ---
    We must press on!
[31:56] ---
    We shall never compromise!
    Onwards! Ever onwards!
[32:08] ---
    Kycilia.
[32:09] ---
    Yes, Father.
[32:13] ---
    I am right here.
[32:15] ---
    What do you think?
    I am afraid of what I see in him.
[32:20] ---
    You needn't worry, I shall help you.
[32:24] ---
    Please do. No one can
    stop him but you.
[32:31] ---
    He has become a fiend.
[32:33] ---
    Deikun's unfinished business has become
    an evil spirit and possessed him.
[32:39] ---
    He will destroy this country.
    And our family.
[32:46] ---
    Rest easy, Father.
[32:49] ---
    Your Kycilia will always
    be on your side.
[32:59] ---
    Never! I don't want to be
    assigned to staff HQ!
[33:03] ---
    Look, I don't know what to tell you...
[33:06] ---
    I want to be on the front lines!
    Let me make a name for myself!
[33:10] ---
    The thing is, this is what Father wants,
    and it's what the top brass has decided.
[33:16] ---
    It's out of my hands.
[33:18] ---
    They can't say no to you, not now.
[33:21] ---
    Aren't you the hero of Loum?!
[33:24] ---
    Well, I guess...
[33:27] ---
    I don't want to be outdone by Char.
[33:30] ---
    I heard that the decoration he's getting
    will come with a two-rank promotion,
[33:34] ---
    which will make him
    a lieutenant commander!
[33:36] ---
    If that happens, I'll...
[33:38] ---
    If that's all you're worried about,
    I can make you the same rank!
[33:41] ---
    I'm not doing anything to earn it!
[33:44] ---
    I've only been watching
    the battles from a safe distance.
[33:47] ---
    There, there...
[33:51] ---
    Getting promoted as a handout
    is the last thing I need.
[33:55] ---
    That's exactly why
    no one takes me seriously...
[33:58] ---
    They say my only accomplishment
    was being born into the Zabi family.
[34:12] ---
    All right. I'll talk to our
    brother Gihren about it.
[34:16] ---
    After that, it's up to him.
[34:28] ---
    We're coming to you from the venue for
    the Battle of Loum victory celebration!

[34:31] ---
    It is the newly-completed Principality
    Government Building, Deikun Hall!

[34:37] ---
    The decoration ceremony
    has just ended,

[34:39] ---
    and our brave soldiers
    are now filing in!

[34:46] ---
    Here is our fleet commander,
    Vice Admiral Dozle!

[34:49] ---
    The commanding presence he radiates
    is almost palpable!

[34:53] ---
    Great work!
[34:54] ---
    Following behind him are the triumphant
    Black Tri-Stars!

[34:58] ---
    Lieutenant Gaia!
[34:59] ---
    Lieutenant Junior Grade Mash!
    Lieutenant Junior Grade Ortega!

[35:00] ---
    Attaboy, Ortega!
[35:03] ---
    And now the man who earned the
    nom de guerre "Red Comet",

[35:07] ---
    our ace of aces, Lieutenant JG Char!
    Strike that!

[35:10] ---
    The dashing cape of a field officer
    is now fluttering on his shoulders!

[35:13] ---
    Make that Lieutenant Commander
    Char Aznable!
[35:16] ---
    Wait! Don't!
[35:18] ---
    With this glorious victory,
    these warriors, our pride and joy,

[35:24] ---
    have proven Deikun's
    great teachings to be true!

[35:27] ---
    That Spacenoids stand above all others!
[35:34] ---
    But my fellow countrymen,
    we mustn't relax our efforts.

[35:38] ---
    Our fight has only just begun!
[35:40] ---
    In point of fact, parts of Loum have yet
    to surrender to our principality

[35:45] ---
    and continue their futile resistance.
[35:48] ---
    We must eliminate such rabble
    and unite colony society as one

[35:53] ---
    so that we will be victorious in
    our final battle against the Federation!

[36:10] ---
    We were the ones who
    took Revil prisoner!
[36:13] ---
    How come they're heaping
    all the glory on him?!
[36:16] ---
    Let it go, Ortega.
[36:18] ---
    The Sovereign is watching.
[36:21] ---
    Char.
[36:22] ---
    I've taken the liberty of
    following your exploits.
[36:26] ---
    Garma, I see you've made
    something of yourself, too.
[36:31] ---
    I'm a major with
    our elite airborne division.
[36:34] ---
    My assignment came through today.
[36:36] ---
    I'm happy for you!
    That's a fitting post for you.
[36:40] ---
    Unlike fleet warfare, securing territory
    with ground units is difficult.
[36:44] ---
    It's dirty, bloody work.
[36:48] ---
    My rank might only be major,
[36:50] ---
    but I'll have nearly a whole armored
    regiment serving under me.
[36:53] ---
    I intend to lead it and mop up
    the remaining enemy forces in Loum.
[36:58] ---
    Oh?
[36:59] ---
    You thought "Garma can't handle that"
    to yourself just now, didn't you, Char?!
[37:03] ---
    No, perish the thought.
    It's just that it's a dangerous mission.
[37:08] ---
    Such down and dirty work
    isn't your cup of tea.
[37:11] ---
    I'm surprised that Sovereign Degwin
    and Admiral Dozle would--
[37:13] ---
    They don't matter!
    I'm my own man!
[37:19] ---
    Don't underestimate me, Char.
[37:22] ---
    Just like you...
[37:24] ---
    Even I... won't stay that little boy
    I was back then forever.
[38:10] ---
    Keep neutralizing them!
    Advance!
[38:13] ---
    Send these Federation lackeys packing!
[38:42] ---
    Concentrate your fire
    on enemy defensive positions!
[38:44] ---
    Crush them! Crush them!
[38:47] ---
    Don't let any of them surrender!
[38:55] ---
    Temporary POW Facility
[39:13] ---
    The Venus of Capua.
[39:15] ---
    This statue is said to date to the
    fourth century B.C. of the Earth calendar.
[39:21] ---
    It's a fake.
[39:25] ---
    The real one is a replica
    that dates to the Roman era.
[39:28] ---
    This one must be an imitation of that imitation,
    made during the Renaissance.
[39:34] ---
    This item is a standout among the
    museum's collection. A Grecian urn!
[39:39] ---
    The creatures depicted on it
    are centaurs.
[39:42] ---
    It was found in Vulci,
    in southern Italy--
[39:44] ---
    This one is also a fake.
[39:46] ---
    A trinket made for tourists.
    Even worse than a fake, one could say.
[39:52] ---
    And this?
[39:53] ---
    Ah... It was used in masked theatrical
    performances of the Roman era.
[39:59] ---
    This, too?
[40:00] ---
    Er, yes, we believe that is the case...
[40:03] ---
    These must have cost a small fortune.
[40:06] ---
    Yes, a fair amount...
[40:09] ---
    For all the grandiosity of the term
    "Universal Century",
[40:11] ---
    our history does not
    stretch back even 100 years.
[40:16] ---
    That is why we are looked down upon.
[40:18] ---
    As a mere bunch of Johnny-come-latelies.
[40:25] ---
    If you will excuse me,
    I must be going!
[40:28] ---
    Please take all the time you like
    to view the exhibits.
[40:33] ---
    You have made your feelings
    abundantly clear, Sovereign.
[40:38] ---
    We must bring this war,
    the worst in human history, to an end.
[40:43] ---
    Ever since Cain and Abel
    in ancient times,
[40:46] ---
    hostility and conflict between
    humans have never ceased,
[40:49] ---
    and man has yet to understand
    his fellow man.
[40:52] ---
    What a deplorable state of affairs.
[40:55] ---
    Zeon Zum Deikun's intent
    was to free us from that old curse.
[41:00] ---
    Even if all things, space included,
    are God's creation,
[41:05] ---
    is it so wrong that it was we space
    immigrants who found a hope that is
[41:08] ---
    so many times more powerful
    than the sense of freedom
[41:10] ---
    that people once felt when they made
    the crossing to the New World?
[41:17] ---
    That is what Deikun was thinking when he
    set forth his protocols for the new era.
[41:22] ---
    We gathered under his banner
    as his comrades.
[41:26] ---
    We had no idea that his hope
    for a new humanity
[41:29] ---
    would lead to such disgusting hatred
    and terrible devastation.
[41:35] ---
    Admiral Revil, is there nothing
    we can do to defuse this situation?
[41:39] ---
    You and I, working together?
[41:44] ---
    What indeed?
[41:46] ---
    It may be possible for you,
    but a prisoner like me?
[41:51] ---
    I understand.
[41:57] ---
    I understand.
[42:05] ---
    I fully understand, Admiral Revil.
[42:11] ---
    I am hardly the ideal man
    to conduct such negotiations.
[42:15] ---
    Is that because you hope,
    rather, to invade Earth
[42:18] ---
    and restore the fruits of our culture and civilization,
    as well as our spiritual holy land?
[42:24] ---
    You surmise correctly.
[42:26] ---
    That makes you the right man
    for the job.
[42:28] ---
    The war must continue!
[42:35] ---
    Make no mistake, Lt. Gen. M'Quve.
[42:38] ---
    You will not be an emissary
    to end the war.
[42:41] ---
    You will be going there to lead
    the Earth Invasion Force.
[42:45] ---
    This is not my idea alone. Supreme
    Commander Gihren is of the same mind.
[42:51] ---
    We will seize the Earth's
    bounty and her lands!
[42:54] ---
    Which is precisely why we mustn't send
    someone who is immune to Earth's charms!
[43:00] ---
    Would you mind terribly
    if I asked two questions?
[43:05] ---
    Be my guest.
[43:06] ---
    As you are aware, war requires
    that one has an opponent.
[43:11] ---
    In the event that the Federation
    has completely lost its will to fight,
[43:15] ---
    where do you suggest
    we aim our raised fist?
[43:19] ---
    Go ahead and ask
    your second question as well.
[43:22] ---
    What assurances do I have?
[43:24] ---
    My troops and I will be parachuting
    into the enemy's very lap, as it were.
[43:29] ---
    I do hate to be blunt, but I have no wish
    to become a sacrificial pawn.
[43:33] ---
    I'll begin by answering question ♪2.
[43:37] ---
    I will assign Garma Zabi
    to serve under you.
[43:41] ---
    Garma, whom Sovereign Degwin
    cherishes above all else.
[43:49] ---
    What greater assurance could I offer
    that our sovereign will never abandon you?
[43:54] ---
    And now,
[43:57] ---
    as for the answer
    to your first question...
[44:02] ---
    Regardless of the time or place, mankind
    has a fundamental desire for war.
[44:07] ---
    Whether that be foolish...
[44:10] ---
    ...or wise.
[44:14] ---
    Plans are already in motion
    to prolong the war.
[44:20] ---
    Remember this one thing,
    Lt. Gen. M'Quve.
[44:24] ---
    You aren't like those other
    mediocre commanders.
[44:28] ---
    It's because you're a man of ability
    that I am telling you this.
[44:32] ---
    Supreme Commander Gihren...
    I find him detestable.
[44:44] ---
    What's so good about that bastard M'Quve
    that he gets to represent Zeon?!
[44:49] ---
    He didn't so much as break a sweat
    at Loum or Hatte!
[44:53] ---
    I hate that guy!
[44:55] ---
    And at peace talks of all places!
[44:58] ---
    See if I care if it blows up
    in their faces!
[45:02] ---
    I was worried that a talented officer
    like you might go down there with him,
[45:09] ---
    but I'm glad that you stayed behind.
[45:11] ---
    Earth doesn't agree with me.
    I'm a Spacenoid through and through.
[45:16] ---
    He did approach me informally,
    but I turned him down.
[45:20] ---
    Don't get me wrong.
[45:22] ---
    I'm not going to fight him over subordinates
    because this isn't some children's squabble.
[45:27] ---
    I didn't want
    to let him have you
[45:29] ---
    because there's a job that
    I don't want anyone else to do.
[45:32] ---
    Oh? And what sort of job
    would that be, sir?
[45:38] ---
    Development on a new Federation mobile
    suit is being conducted in secret.
[45:44] ---
    They call it "Operation V," apparently.
[45:48] ---
    It's being carried out
    somewhere off of Earth.
[46:25] ---
    It was mobile suits that decided
    the outcome of our recent battles.
[46:30] ---
    But even if they've designated
    Operation V a threat,
[46:33] ---
    not everyone would understand
    what that means.
[46:36] ---
    And so, here are your orders:
[46:41] ---
    Follow any and all signs,
    overcome any resistance,
[46:44] ---
    sniff out Operation V's base,
    and then crush it.
[46:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
[46:50] ---
    You seem to understand
    how important this mission is.
[46:54] ---
    Which brings us to this!
[46:58] ---
    Even if you are the great hero
    of the Zeon Forces,
[47:01] ---
    I don't expect you to carry out
    such a crucial mission by yourself.
[47:07] ---
    Look! That's your ship.
[47:14] ---
    I named her myself.
    The Falmer!
[47:19] ---
    She's a Musai that surpasses
    all other Musais!
[47:23] ---
    She's my parting gift to you.
[47:26] ---
    I even handpicked the
    best of the best to crew her.
[47:29] ---
    I also give you special authorization to do
    whatever you deem necessary for the mission.
[47:34] ---
    Do you have any questions?
[47:36] ---
    I do not.
[47:38] ---
    Lt. Cdr. Char, now setting out
    on his mission!
[48:07] ---
    This baby is quite a ship!
[48:10] ---
    Coming from a run-down,
    retrofitted Papua resupply ship,
[48:14] ---
    this is almost so shiny it's blinding,
    right, Captain Char?
[48:18] ---
    You're the ship's captain, Lt. Dren.
[48:22] ---
    Don't joke about stuff
    like that, Lt. Cdr. Char!
[48:26] ---
    I didn't mean it in jest.
[48:28] ---
    No matter how good the ship, I have
    no wish to be chained down by it.
[48:34] ---
    Remember this, men!
[48:36] ---
    I have never once wished to become
    a fine sailor such as yourselves.
[48:42] ---
    I am a warrior of the cosmos!
[48:45] ---
    A knight who races at will across
    the heavens faster than any ship!
[48:51] ---
    Continue the tests, Captain.
[48:54] ---
    In that case,
[48:55] ---
    Lt. Dren will humbly assume
    the post of acting captain!
[49:00] ---
    We'll begin combat drills at once!
[49:03] ---
    All hands, take your posts!
[49:06] ---
    Anti-ship battle stations!
[49:09] ---
    Listen up! Don't think
    of this as a drill!

[49:12] ---
    Act like everything is the real thing!
[49:15] ---
    We'll make for the designated battle area!
    Come about 90 degrees to port!
[49:32] ---
    This is Oak Tree.
    Calling Queen of the Night.

[49:36] ---
    Commencing screening of Blue Bird.
[49:39] ---
    Don't screw up.
[49:40] ---
    Understood, ma'am.
[49:43] ---
    If I may ask something, ma'am?
[49:44] ---
    What is it?
[49:45] ---
    This operation's name, Blue Bird,
    what does it mean?
[49:50] ---
    In the Cold War period of the old era,
[49:53] ---
    it was the name of the first film jointly
    produced by America and the USSR.
[49:59] ---
    If you want to know more, ask M'Quve!
[50:19] ---
    We're sorry to interrupt
    your rest, Admiral.
[50:24] ---
    I'm being moved?
[50:28] ---
    What's going on?
    I wasn't informed of any move.
[50:39] ---
    Please hurry, sir.
[50:41] ---
    Would it be all right
    if I asked you something?
[50:44] ---
    If I'm able to answer, yes.
[50:46] ---
    Where am I being moved to?
[50:52] ---
    Ah. I see.
[51:12] ---
    Sir, please put these on.
[51:16] ---
    I'm sorry, but we didn't have anything
    but a field officer's uniform.
[51:25] ---
    We will also use this transport
    to breach the cargo terminal.
[51:28] ---
    There is a launch berthed in the bay,
    so please be ready to run.
[51:33] ---
    Are you in charge of this operation?
[51:36] ---
    What's your name?
    Who do you serve under?
[51:43] ---
    You're not at liberty to divulge that.
    Is that it?
[52:11] ---
    Run! Make a break
    for the launch!
[52:26] ---
    Hurry!
[52:28] ---
    Hurry! Hurry!
[52:35] ---
    An emergency is in progress inside.
    This berth cannot be used at this time.

[52:40] ---
    This berth cannot be used at this time.
[52:44] ---
    This is Oak Tree.
    Blue Bird is in the bird cage.
[52:48] ---
    Will now make for rendezvous
    point with Maeterlinck.
[52:53] ---
    Understood. Well done.
[53:13] ---
    I have lock on target ship.
[53:15] ---
    Salamis-class, dead ahead.
    Distance, 8210.
[53:19] ---
    Mega particle cannon energy charge at 92%.
[53:23] ---
    Anti-ship missiles, ready to launch.
[53:25] ---
    Right, start with three missiles, rapid fire!
[53:28] ---
    Once they're away, get a lock on the ship
    with the mega particle cannon!
[53:32] ---
    Hit it while it's between
    60 and 50 out! Got it?!
[53:36] ---
    Energy charge at 120%!
[53:38] ---
    Tubes 1 through 3, ready to fire!
[53:41] ---
    Distance, 8110.
    Almost in--
[53:45] ---
    What's the problem?!
[53:47] ---
    Captain! Er, Acting Captain, sir!
[53:50] ---
    There's something strange
    about this target ship!
[53:52] ---
    Its closing speed is too fast!
    This Salamis...
[53:56] ---
    ...is active!
[53:57] ---
    What?
[54:00] ---
    Ship speed, 1.1 km/s!
    It's almost within our firing range!
[54:05] ---
    What do we do?
[54:07] ---
    What indeed, Captain Dren?
[54:10] ---
    Distance, 7900!
    Speed has dropped off slightly!
[54:15] ---
    They must have spotted us.
[54:20] ---
    What?! This wasn't
    part of the plan!
[54:23] ---
    I thought they promised that there
    would be no warships in this area!
[54:28] ---
    Musai closing in!
[54:30] ---
    Order them to stop.
[54:34] ---
    We've found an enemy ship in a sector
    where there should be none.
[54:38] ---
    There are two ways to deal with it:
    Capture it, or destroy it.
[54:44] ---
    Don't you agree, Capt. Dren?
[54:47] ---
    Y-You're right.
[54:51] ---
    Attention, Federation vessel!
    Stop your ship!
[54:55] ---
    This is the Falmer,
    carrying Lt. Cdr. Char Aznable!
[54:59] ---
    Resistance is futile!
    Stop your ship!
[55:02] ---
    Did he say Char?
[55:05] ---
    He destroyed five battleships
    at Loum! They call him--
[55:08] ---
    The Red Comet...
[55:09] ---
    Why did we have to bump
    into him of all people?
[55:13] ---
    I repeat! Stop your ship!
[55:16] ---
    Dren. Fire a warning shot.
    A volley.
[55:25] ---
    All turrets, prepare to fire!
[55:28] ---
    Turret 1, aim starboard of the enemy ship!
    Turrets 2 and 3, aim to its port side!
[55:33] ---
    This is a warning! Got that?!
    Don't hit them!
[55:37] ---
    Turret 1, we have target acquisition!
[55:41] ---
    Turrets 2 and 3, aiming...
    Ready!
[55:45] ---
    Fire!
[56:01] ---
    Enemy ship has powered down its engine.
[56:04] ---
    Good, that was skillfully done.
[56:06] ---
    Dren, I'm going out in my Zaku.
    Have Denim provide cover.
[56:10] ---
    Pull up alongside them and wait.
[56:14] ---
    What...! Wait! Lt. Cdr. Char!
[56:53] ---
    So that's Zeon's
    new mobile suit, the Zaku...
[56:57] ---
    I've never seen one before!
[56:58] ---
    A red Zaku...
[57:00] ---
    The Red Comet...
[57:19] ---
    You must surely be aware that we
    are currently in a state of war.
[57:23] ---
    By all rights, we should have
    destroyed you without warning.
[57:29] ---
    Why have you snuck into
    the very heart of Zeon?
[57:34] ---
    How? To what end?
[57:37] ---
    There's just one of him!
[57:40] ---
    I doubt it's for reconnaissance or sabotage.
[57:43] ---
    We can take him!
[57:58] ---
    Answer my question!
[58:00] ---
    Failure to do so will only result in further
    harm to your ship and her crew.
[58:29] ---
    Pardon the presumptuousness
    of my asking,
[58:31] ---
    but are you Admiral Revil?
[58:38] ---
    Yes, I'm Revil.
[58:41] ---
    What will you do with that knowledge,
    Zeon officer who is faithful to his duty?
[58:52] ---
    I was unaware that you were
    aboard this vessel, Admiral.
[58:57] ---
    Please forgive me for so rudely
    interrupting your voyage.
[59:01] ---
    Safe travels to you, sir.
[59:06] ---
    Lieutenant! Lt. Cdr. Char has
    come out of the ship!
[59:10] ---
    He has?
[59:11] ---
    There's no reason for me
    to get involved, then.
[59:15] ---
    He seems to be returning
    to his Zaku!
[59:22] ---
    Enemy ship has powered up engine!
[59:28] ---
    Lt. Commander!
[59:30] ---
    Should we really turn a blind eye to an enemy
    vessel that has violated our territory?
[59:34] ---
    It's fine, Dren. That was a treasure ship
    that was far too rich for my blood.
[59:40] ---
    We came very close to ruining
    a brilliant bit of political theater.
[59:59] ---
    Cease-fire Negotiations Begin

[1:00:16] ---
    We're here, Father!
[1:00:20] ---
    Not too shabby, I suppose.
[1:00:22] ---
    But not good enough to hire you for our
    regular company flights, of course.
[1:00:25] ---
    Thank you, but my top potential
    employer pick is another company.
[1:00:30] ---
    You mean Cameron?
[1:00:32] ---
    That's a fine idea, too.
    I have no objections there.
[1:00:39] ---
    Please fasten your seat belt.
    I'm taking us in to dock.
[1:00:59] ---
    Hold up!
[1:01:02] ---
    Sorry to bother you
    while you're out and about,
[1:01:06] ---
    but I need a minute
    of your time, Amuro buddy.
[1:01:11] ---
    We need to have a chat.
    About your father.
[1:01:16] ---
    Don't feed me more of that bull about him
    being a Colony Public Corporation engineer!
[1:01:20] ---
    He works for the military, right?
    Just like I always suspected.
[1:01:25] ---
    What's he doing in secret
    that's so hush-hush?
[1:01:28] ---
    He's trying to drag us into
    the war too, isn't he?! Even us?!
[1:01:34] ---
    Please get out of the way.
[1:01:36] ---
    Huh?
[1:01:37] ---
    It's dangerous to stand
    in the street like that!
[1:01:54] ---
    Even if you are the
    chief engineer's son,
[1:01:58] ---
    I can't let you in.
[1:02:00] ---
    Besides, some company bigwig
    is here for a tour today.
[1:02:03] ---
    My father asked me to come!
[1:02:06] ---
    He wants me to fetch a bag with
    memory chips in it from his lab!
[1:02:10] ---
    Come on, kid...
[1:02:13] ---
    You heard the man.
[1:02:18] ---
    What the heck is a "Gundam"?!
[1:02:35] ---
    Hello, you must be Amuro.
[1:02:43] ---
    And you are?
[1:02:45] ---
    William Kemp.
[1:02:53] ---
    I work with your father.
[1:03:01] ---
    So you really are a soldier...
[1:03:06] ---
    You can tell me about
    the Gundam, then?
[1:03:09] ---
    How long have you known of
    the Gundam's existence?
[1:03:13] ---
    Did you hear about it
    from Chief Ray?
[1:03:15] ---
    What are you talking about?
[1:03:16] ---
    Dad... Er, my father never said
    anything about it to me.
[1:03:21] ---
    How do you know about it, then?!
[1:03:24] ---
    I'm asking the questions here!
    What the heck is this "Gundam" thing?!
[1:03:44] ---
    Start upstairs. Work quickly.
[1:03:45] ---
    Hey! Who are you people?
[1:03:49] ---
    Damn you! Stop, thieves!
[1:03:50] ---
    Activating security mode!
[1:03:54] ---
    Haro!
[1:04:02] ---
    I won't tell Chief Ray about
    what happened today.

[1:04:06] ---
    And you're not to divulge any of this
    to anyone, either! Got that?!

[1:04:09] ---
    This is your only warning, Amuro!
[1:04:13] ---
    Well, that was a bust...
[1:04:42] ---
    Amuro. I am ashamed.
[1:04:44] ---
    Intruders got... the drop on me.
[1:05:31] ---
    Antarctica
[1:05:36] ---
    Scott City, International Joint Observatory Habitat
[1:05:45] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen of the world,
    this is Scott City, located in Antarctica.

[1:05:50] ---
    Historic peace talks are about
    to begin here in this place.

[1:05:59] ---
    I see. That's good to hear.
    Good work.
[1:06:03] ---
    I'll put the whole team up
    for special two-rank promotions.
[1:06:07] ---
    Commander Judock reporting, sir!
[1:06:11] ---
    The media arrangements
    have been made?
[1:06:13] ---
    Yes, sir! Most major stations on Earth,
    including the colony sphere, have a live feed.
[1:06:21] ---
    This will be a speech
    for the history books!
[1:06:24] ---
    Side 5, Loum
[1:06:26] ---
    Miranda, Capital Banchi
[1:06:29] ---
    It will be difficult to
    lose you right now,
[1:06:34] ---
    but if you say you cannot remain here
    while we are under Zeon control,
[1:06:39] ---
    then that's that.
[1:06:42] ---
    What do you say? I have a proposal
    for your next job...
[1:06:45] ---
    Would you be interested
    in going to Side 7?
[1:06:49] ---
    Side 7? Why there?
[1:06:52] ---
    I know it's out in the middle of nowhere.
    But it's free of Zeon influence.
[1:06:58] ---
    This is Luna II. The Federation Forces
    still have control of it for now.
[1:07:07] ---
    That's it? That's Side 7?
[1:07:11] ---
    One reason is that it's a development area
    that's located opposite Zeon's Side 3,
[1:07:16] ---
    so I doubt they would ever
    want to bother with it.
[1:07:21] ---
    However, there's a construction worker
    population of about 30,000 there.
[1:07:25] ---
    They're essentially a remote village
    without a doctor at the moment.
[1:07:28] ---
    Regardless of the current situation,
    as a doctor, I can't turn a blind eye.
[1:07:33] ---
    I'll go. I'll do it.
[1:07:36] ---
    I'll go to Side 7!
[1:07:39] ---
    In Scott City, where peace talks
    are already underway,

[1:07:43] ---
    delegates from both sides
    are beginning to arrive.

[1:07:46] ---
    Representing Zeon is Lt. Gen. M'Quve.
[1:07:49] ---
    You'll be fine!
[1:07:49] ---
    Representing the Federation Forces
    is Admiral Gopp.

[1:07:50] ---
    But it hurts!
[1:07:52] ---
    It's okay, don't worry.
[1:07:53] ---
    Will the talks be successful
    and peace return to us?

[1:07:54] ---
    Mommy's right here, okay?
[1:08:15] ---
    We've been awaiting
    your arrival, Admiral Revil.
[1:08:19] ---
    Hello, Wakkein.
[1:08:23] ---
    It's good to see you still alive.
[1:08:26] ---
    I'm sorry about Loum.
[1:08:30] ---
    Please hurry, sir.
    There's little time.
[1:08:36] ---
    Hello, Elran!
[1:08:39] ---
    I must say, I'm surprised! That was
    quite the miracle you pulled off!
[1:08:44] ---
    There's no getting one past you,
    Adm. Gopp. Word travels fast.
[1:08:49] ---
    Not at all! The whole
    general staff knows about it.
[1:08:55] ---
    What do you suppose
    Revil will say?
[1:08:58] ---
    I can guess.
[1:09:02] ---
    I suppose our talks here
    will all be a waste of time.
[1:09:06] ---
    I wouldn't say that, sir. If we can sign
    a wartime treaty, it will be worth it.
[1:09:12] ---
    A ban on the use of nuclear weapons.
    Biological. Chemical.
[1:09:16] ---
    And of course the use of colonies
    or asteroids as bombs.
[1:09:21] ---
    In other words, "War all you like,
    just be cleaner about it," eh?
[1:09:50] ---
    We go live in fifteen seconds!
[1:09:57] ---
    Ten seconds!
[1:10:01] ---
    Five seconds! Four!
[1:10:03] ---
    Three!
[1:10:09] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen of the Earth Sphere,
    I am Johann Ibrahim Revil.
[1:10:17] ---
    As an admiral of the
    Federation Space Force,

[1:10:20] ---
    I led the relief operation
    to our allied nation of Loum.

[1:10:25] ---
    This ended in a resounding
    defeat for us.

[1:10:28] ---
    As commander, the fault lay in my
    strategy and combat leadership.

[1:10:34] ---
    Is this for real?
[1:10:36] ---
    Why is he wearing
    a field officer's uniform?
[1:10:39] ---
    As you are aware,
[1:10:41] ---
    I was injured and was held prisoner
    in the Zeon homeland.

[1:10:46] ---
    I am only able to speak to you today
    from an allied base

[1:10:50] ---
    because I was rescued by
    the valiant soldiers of our forces.

[1:10:57] ---
    We lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers,
    as well as a great many warships.

[1:11:03] ---
    I take full responsibility.
[1:11:07] ---
    The fact that I was rescued by the forces
    that I robbed of both glory and pride

[1:11:13] ---
    is thanks to the grace of God.
[1:11:17] ---
    Lt. Dren!
[1:11:21] ---
    You should all listen to this.
[1:11:22] ---
    It was a sign from God that I must
[1:11:27] ---
    redeem the loss and disgrace of that defeat.
[1:11:27] ---
    The curtain is about to rise
    on a new act.
[1:11:30] ---
    A second act,
    in which there is no God.
[1:11:34] ---
    If I should be entrusted
    with that duty once again,
[1:11:39] ---
    I would devote myself body and soul
    to making up for that defeat!
[1:11:46] ---
    I am aware that peace talks are being
    held in Antarctica at this very moment.

[1:11:53] ---
    Of course, I hope for peace as well.
[1:11:56] ---
    However, a truce must not
    be signed at this point in time!

[1:12:01] ---
    This would not be an armistice!
    It would be a surrender!
[1:12:07] ---
    It would mean the people of Earth, with their
    long history of culture and civilization,
[1:12:13] ---
    yielding to tyranny and despotism!
[1:12:21] ---
    Damn you, Revil...
[1:12:26] ---
    Excuse me, sir.
[1:12:28] ---
    The commanders of the
    Earth Expeditionary Force
[1:12:30] ---
    are assembled to receive
    your blessing, Sovereign.
[1:12:34] ---
    I'll be right there!
[1:12:46] ---
    Well, Father... I'm off.
[1:12:50] ---
    I've been promoted to colonel for my
    distinguished service in the Loum mop-up.
[1:12:55] ---
    I am taking command of the
    North American Force, Western Sector.
[1:13:03] ---
    Give it your all, Garma!
    Silence all those ingrates!
[1:13:08] ---
    I-I will!
[1:13:11] ---
    Go crush every last one of
    those war-loving Earthers!
[1:13:18] ---
    It was a grand endeavor that only succeeded
    because there existed a government

[1:13:20] ---
    They're so far behind schedule...
    Unbelievable.
[1:13:22] ---
    that embodied humanity's collective will
    and knowledge, the Earth Federation!

[1:13:24] ---
    All this construction
    for no reason I can see...
[1:13:27] ---
    Zeon slaughtered billions
    of innocent people

[1:13:30] ---
    who were the backbone of
    that grand enterprise!

[1:13:30] ---
    I'm gonna get'cha!
[1:13:32] ---
    It's so peaceful here...
[1:13:34] ---
    And Gihren Zabi carried out the operation!
[1:13:35] ---
    I can only hope
    that it stays peaceful.
[1:13:38] ---
    What right does he have to talk?!
[1:13:41] ---
    What made them resort to carrying out
    the barbaric act of dropping a colony?

[1:13:47] ---
    They are suffering, too.
[1:13:47] ---
    Do you think the war will continue?
[1:13:50] ---
    Yes. There hasn't been
    enough destruction yet.
[1:13:50] ---
    An act such as this only proves that
    they are already on their last legs.

[1:13:54] ---
    Humanity hasn't taken this
    as far as it can go yet.
[1:13:57] ---
    Citizens of Earth, you must not
    believe Degwin and Gihren!

    Their words are no more
    than empty threats!

[1:14:04] ---
    Regardless of what they say,
    people desire war.
[1:14:06] ---
    You must not stand for the
    self-righteousness of the entire Zabi brood!

[1:14:19] ---
    Take this!
[1:14:25] ---
    Hey!
[1:14:27] ---
    You guys should come play
    in the water too!
[1:14:32] ---
    Mr. Kai, she asked us to join them.
[1:14:37] ---
    What are you listening to?
[1:14:39] ---
    When Degwin Sodo Zabi named himself sovereign
[1:14:39] ---
    Some bigshot is giving a speech.
    So I'm listening to it!
[1:14:43] ---
    and seized power in Side 3, he gave a speech!
[1:14:46] ---
    Is the war ending, then?
[1:14:48] ---
    I want you to think back to his arrogant words!
[1:14:49] ---
    You know... I don't think so.
[1:14:53] ---
    Doesn't seem likely.
