[00:00] ---
    Make me a promise.
[00:02] ---
    That you'll become the next president.
[00:06] ---
    That's impossible.
[00:08] ---
    I could never be president...
[00:09] ---
    Oh?
[00:10] ---
    You just said you won't let me
    have my way with Suletta anymore.
[00:14] ---
    Have you given up already?
[00:17] ---
    Damn you!
[00:21] ---
    I'll take over your precious Quiet Zero!
[00:25] ---
    Oh, good.
[00:26] ---
    I'm sure your father will be pleased too.
[00:29] ---
    But you'd better promise me that
    you won't involve Suletta any further!
[00:33] ---
    Of course.
[00:34] ---
    But please allow Suletta and Aerial
    to take part in one more duel.
[00:39] ---
    One more?
[00:41] ---
    That's right. This will be the last.
[00:44] ---
    After that, you can do
    with her as you like.
[00:46] ---
    Still, will that girl...
[00:49] ---
    really give up Aerial so meekly?
SIGN    Episode 17
[02:38] ---
    G-Good... morning!
[02:42] ---
    Were you waiting all this time?
[02:44] ---
    No! I, uh... just got here.
[02:49] ---
    You're not suspended from school anymore?
[02:52] ---
    No!
[02:53] ---
    Yesterday marked one week.
[02:56] ---
    Yeah?
[02:58] ---
    Well...
[03:00] ---
    I said something weird the other day.
[03:03] ---
    About...
[03:04] ---
    Tell me something.
[03:05] ---
    Yes?
[03:06] ---
    If I asked you to get rid of Aerial,
    what would you do?
[03:10] ---
    Huh? I, uh...
[03:14] ---
    I wouldn't do it.
[03:16] ---
    Because Aerial is...
[03:18] ---
    family to me.
[03:25] ---
    Ms. Miorine,
    it's almost your birthday, right?
[03:28] ---
    I suppose.
[03:30] ---
    How would you like to celebrate?
[03:32] ---
    My wish list includes
    celebrating a friend's birthday.
[03:36] ---
    I want to give it a try...
[03:38] ---
    Plus...
[03:40] ---
    When you turn 17, Ms. Miorine...
[03:43] ---
    We...
[03:45] ---
    I'll think about it.
SIGN    Benerit Group Front
[03:48] ---
    Because you're negotiating
    with the kidnappers,
[03:51] ---
    you now think you're
    his successor, Shaddiq Zenelli?
[03:54] ---
    In the upcoming presidential race,
[03:56] ---
    I intend to run on behalf of Grassley.
[03:59] ---
    Which is why I'd like to form
    a partnership with Peil Technologies.
[04:04] ---
    You're getting ahead of yourself.
    What's in it for us?
[04:08] ---
    I'll support Gundams as a new
    core business for the Group.
[04:12] ---
    Gundams?!
[04:13] ---
    I'll transfer GUND-ARM, Inc. to you too.
[04:16] ---
    Since you developed Pharact in secret
    violation of the Cathedra Agreement,
[04:19] ---
    this can't be a bad deal for you.
[04:21] ---
    Will we get the Aerial, too?
[04:24] ---
    I'll leave the sales plan to you.
    You can enjoy the actual benefits.
[04:27] ---
    And how does Sarius feel about this?
[04:30] ---
    That man would never
    accept such an about-face.
[04:33] ---
    The Council won't stay silent either.
[04:36] ---
    I'll bear the brunt of the criticism.
[04:39] ---
    After all,
    we're Cathedra's biggest investor.
[04:43] ---
    Besides,
[04:44] ---
    isn't participation in the Gundam business
[04:47] ---
    the thing you most desire?
[04:52] ---
    Sarius won't be back.
[04:55] ---
    Isn't that what you mean?
[05:04] ---
    Ms. Mio--
[05:06] ---
    Mr. Elan?
[05:08] ---
    I have a favor to ask.
[05:10] ---
    You can't come in here!
    This is Ms. Miorine's--
[05:15] ---
    Won't you give me Aerial?
[05:18] ---
    Aerial?
[05:19] ---
    Please. You can be my savior.
[05:21] ---
    No!
[05:22] ---
    Why?
[05:23] ---
    You like me, don't you?
[05:25] ---
    In that case...
[05:27] ---
    No!
[05:29] ---
    The way you are now, Mr. Elan...
[05:31] ---
    I don't like you!
[05:34] ---
    Elan this, Elan that...
[05:36] ---
    How irritating.
[05:38] ---
    The man you're thinking of isn't here!
[05:42] ---
    Now...
[05:43] ---
    Hand over Aerial to me, immediate--
[05:47] ---
    Elan!
[05:48] ---
    What are you doing to her?
[05:51] ---
    Look who's here.
[05:53] ---
    It's none other than the runaway prince.
[05:56] ---
    I never could figure you out.
[06:00] ---
    What are you afraid of?
[06:02] ---
    Don't go showing off
    just because there's a girl here!
[06:12] ---
    Cut it out.
[06:13] ---
    If you ruin this place,
    no apology will get you off the hook.
[06:25] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[06:31] ---
    So...
[06:32] ---
    I heard you quit school.
[06:35] ---
    Lauda went behind Dad's back
    and held off my withdrawal.
[06:39] ---
    So I was able to re-enroll.
[06:42] ---
    A-About your father...
[06:45] ---
    I am really deeply sorry about his loss!
[06:49] ---
    It's alright. I have a purpose now.
[06:52] ---
    Huh?
[06:54] ---
    I want to rebuild the Jeturk company.
[06:57] ---
    It's the only thing left
    that ties me to my father.
[07:01] ---
    Have you heard what's happened to us?
[07:03] ---
    Yes.
[07:04] ---
    At least... I've heard it's bad.
[07:07] ---
    I spoke to Lauda and we decided
    I'd take over as president.
[07:11] ---
    The company is on the brink.
[07:13] ---
    It's up to us to do something.
[07:15] ---
    I don't want to lose...
[07:17] ---
    any more of the things precious to me.
[07:21] ---
    Precious... things?
[07:24] ---
    As soon as my re-enrollment is complete,
    I'll return to the company.
[07:28] ---
    Before that, I wanted to visit
    the school one more time.
[07:32] ---
    I wanted to apologize
    to everyone in Jeturk House, too.
[07:36] ---
    Why would you tell this
    to someone like me?
[07:40] ---
    "Move forward, gain two."
[07:42] ---
    I... finally understand how frightening
    it is to move forward.
[07:47] ---
    It's because I was scared that
    I kept running away from my father.
[07:52] ---
    But now I can move forward.
[07:55] ---
    You taught me how.
[07:56] ---
    I...
[07:58] ---
    I d-didn't do...
[08:00] ---
    But still... I'm a little glad.
[08:04] ---
    Because I love those words, too...
[08:09] ---
    I guess that was the part of you
    I fell for.
[08:17] ---
    B-But before you said
    you didn't like me at all!
[08:21] ---
    That was... How can I put it...
[08:24] ---
    I was embarrassed.
[08:25] ---
    I don't get it at all!
[08:26] ---
    Why?! Figure it out!
[08:28] ---
    I don't get it!
[08:33] ---
    Fine. Then I'll say it again.
[08:37] ---
    I'm grateful to you.
[08:40] ---
    You're precious to me.
[08:52] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:56] ---
    But...
[08:57] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:59] ---
    I too...
[09:01] ---
    have someone precious to me now.
[09:05] ---
    I see.
[09:07] ---
    It's nice you have someone
    you can say that about.
[09:10] ---
    Yes.
[09:17] ---
    Suletta!
[09:18] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[09:20] ---
    Th-This is, uh... not what it--
[09:21] ---
    I've decided...
[09:23] ---
    what I want for my birthday.
[09:25] ---
    A duel between you and Guel.
[09:27] ---
    Give me the gift of victory.
[09:31] ---
    What?!
[09:31] ---
    What?!
[09:32] ---
    What's the big idea?
[09:34] ---
    Explain yourself, Miorine!
[09:36] ---
    I...
[09:38] ---
    am finished with dueling.
[09:40] ---
    I have a proposal.
[09:42] ---
    I'm going to run
    for president of the Benerit Group.
[09:46] ---
    I want you and the Jeturk company
    to support me.
[09:49] ---
    Wait a second! Where is this going?
[09:51] ---
    Your company...
[09:52] ---
    You want to rebuild it, right?
[09:54] ---
    I'll become your fiancée.
[09:57] ---
    If that happens, the Group is sure
    to fully support the Jeturk company.
[10:03] ---
    So you're telling me to win the duel?
[10:06] ---
    I'm the same as you.
[10:09] ---
    I don't want to lose them...
[10:11] ---
    The things precious to me.
[10:14] ---
    Please, Guel Jeturk.
[10:17] ---
    Reclaim your bride...
[10:19] ---
    from Suletta.
[10:23] ---
    Both parties, deposit
    your souls on Libra's scales.
[10:27] ---
    The duelists
    are Suletta Mercury and Guel Jeturk.
[10:31] ---
    The location will be
    the 13th tactical testing sector.
[10:34] ---
    The one-on-one code will apply.
[10:36] ---
    Are there any objections?
[10:37] ---
    No.
[10:37] ---
    No.
[10:38] ---
    Well, sir... you haven't
    quit school after all, huh?
[10:42] ---
    Would you like to extend
    your record of losing like a dog?
[10:45] ---
    The Jeturk emblem is the lion.
[10:48] ---
    So call me a lion, not a dog.
[10:51] ---
    Suletta Mercury,
[10:53] ---
    what is your stake in this duel?
[10:55] ---
    Well, um...
[10:58] ---
    Will you help stop
    the harassment of Earth House?
[11:02] ---
    Harassment?
[11:03] ---
    Ever since the Open Campus,
[11:06] ---
    everyone in Earth House
    has been treated like a criminal.
[11:09] ---
    If the students from Jeturk House
    would take our side...
[11:15] ---
    I'll agree.
[11:16] ---
    Guel Jeturk,
[11:18] ---
    what is your stake in this duel?
[11:21] ---
    If I win...
[11:24] ---
    Aerial will be mine.
[11:26] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[11:28] ---
    What do you want with Aerial, Mr. Guel?
[11:30] ---
    Let him try.
[11:32] ---
    Ms. Miorine?
[11:33] ---
    If you win, it doesn't matter.
[11:36] ---
    You can do that, right?
[11:38] ---
    Yes...
[11:39] ---
    Alea jacta est.
[11:41] ---
    The duel is approved.
[11:47] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:48] ---
    For what?
[11:49] ---
    About Suletta...
[11:51] ---
    you really did like her, didn't you?
[11:54] ---
    I told her how I feel. Plus...
[11:57] ---
    There are more important things right now.
[12:04] ---
    Speaking of her, is it true?
[12:06] ---
    What you said about her mother...
[12:08] ---
    It's true.
[12:10] ---
    Suletta doesn't question
    anything her mother says.
[12:14] ---
    She was only sent to this school
    to fight duels in Aerial.
[12:20] ---
    I want that girl to be happy.
[12:23] ---
    She needs a world where she can be
    free from Gundams or anything else.
[12:28] ---
    There are no worlds like that.
[12:30] ---
    Huh?
[12:31] ---
    I have one thing to ask.
[12:32] ---
    What is it?
[12:34] ---
    Lend me some scissors and clippers.
[12:37] ---
    Are you really gonna duel like this?
[12:39] ---
    It can't be helped.
[12:41] ---
    It was confiscated during our suspension.
[12:43] ---
    And we have no money for repairs.
[12:46] ---
    Damn it! If only Nika were here!
[12:49] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    Ms. Miorine's gone missing too.
[12:52] ---
    Sorry about this.
    My work schedule was moved up.
[12:56] ---
    No... it's okay.
[12:59] ---
    Look at this!
[13:00] ---
    Ms. Miorine said it would
    be a victory charm!
[13:03] ---
    Stay focused. I'm rooting for you.
[13:12] ---
    I've made the preparations.
[13:14] ---
    Don't you feel sorry for her?
    She was rather fired up.
[13:17] ---
    I can't believe you're saying that.
[13:20] ---
    When the time comes,
    I'll give you the signal.
[13:22] ---
    Please look forward to it.
[13:25] ---
    Mr. Guel?
[13:27] ---
    What happened to your hair?
[13:28] ---
    It was damaged anyway. You don't like it?
[13:32] ---
    Guel!
[13:34] ---
    I did my best to optimize it,
    but what about that AI?
[13:38] ---
    I don't care. Leave it in.
[13:40] ---
    Are you sure?
[13:42] ---
    Pride alone won't defeat Suletta Mercury.
[13:46] ---
    Why didn't you tell me about this?
[13:49] ---
    Sorry. We couldn't find the right timing.
[13:52] ---
    And? How far have you gotten with him?
[13:56] ---
    Lauda...
[13:57] ---
    I'm sorry for everything.
[13:59] ---
    Why apologize?
[14:01] ---
    As your older brother,
    I've never done a thing for you.
[14:05] ---
    You can still count on my support.
[14:09] ---
    Just like I told you when we first met.
[14:11] ---
    Connection established
    with Carrier Gate No. 2.
[14:14] ---
    Whenever you're ready!
[14:16] ---
    Guel!
[14:17] ---
    Mr. Guel!
[14:19] ---
    Brother...
[14:23] ---
    I'm off.
[14:35] ---
    MS container is authorized to launch.
[14:39] ---
    Let me out!
[14:40] ---
    We will now begin the duel.
[14:44] ---
    As always, victory will go
[14:46] ---
    to the first one to break the blade
    antenna of their opponent's mobile suit.
[14:49] ---
    The observer shall be me,
    Secelia Dote of Burion House.
[14:54] ---
    A duel?
[14:55] ---
    They say it's the last one.
[14:56] ---
    It's Guel.
[14:57] ---
    It's about to start.
    Aren't you gonna watch?
[14:59] ---
    I don't want to see any more fighting.
[15:02] ---
    He's just back home
    and already so hot-blooded.
[15:06] ---
    Guel hasn't changed a bit.
[15:09] ---
    No, his objective must be...
[15:11] ---
    The restoration of the Jeturk company.
[15:13] ---
    Is this your doing, Miorine?
[15:18] ---
    No objects in vicinity!

    Unlocking MS containers!

[15:33] ---
    Aerial...
[15:34] ---
    Moving out!
[15:34] ---
    Taking off!
[15:40] ---
    Aerial is back in action.
[15:43] ---
    Yes.
[15:44] ---
    Enhanced Person Number Five has failed.
[15:47] ---
    Why are you here?
[15:49] ---
    Don't be so rude.
[15:52] ---
    What's this?
[15:53] ---
    So you're here too, huh?
[15:56] ---
    They were worried about you...
    your Earthian friends.
[16:00] ---
    It occurred to me during the Rumble Ring.
[16:04] ---
    "The Gundams and Grassley
    must be in cahoots," I thought.
[16:07] ---
    And when I snooped around,
    I was right on the money!
[16:11] ---
    I'm not welcome at Peil now.
[16:14] ---
    Since we're all fugitives,
    let's be friends.
[16:17] ---
    No thank you.
[16:19] ---
    Why not get in a Gundam and die already?
[16:22] ---
    I'd like to live a long life.
[16:25] ---
    Being killed by you
    or dying in a Gundam aren't in my plans.
[16:29] ---
    Dying... in a Gundam?
[16:32] ---
    Both parties, face off.
[16:35] ---
    Victory is never decided
    by mobile suit performance, alone.
[16:38] ---
    Nor by the skill of the pilot, alone.
[16:41] ---
    The result itself is the only truth.
[16:41] ---
    The result itself is the only truth.

    Fix release.
[16:51] ---
    Brother!
[16:52] ---
    I know!
[16:53] ---
    First I have to close the range!
[17:02] ---
    A shield?
[17:04] ---
    Got you!
[17:11] ---
    Brother?
[17:14] ---
    Damn you...
[17:16] ---
    Is something wrong with Guel?
[17:18] ---
    Why won't he shoot?
[17:20] ---
    Heck if I know!
[17:22] ---
    What is it, Brother? Trouble of some kind?
[17:25] ---
    It's nothing.
    I'll snap out of it right away.
[17:29] ---
    Delling's daughter... was pleased.
[17:33] ---
    Thank you, Bel.
[17:35] ---
    Not at all...
[17:38] ---
    Isn't Mr. Guel feeling well?
[17:41] ---
    Even so...
[17:47] ---
    Everyone!
[17:54] ---
    Mr. Guel!
[18:06] ---
    Go, Suletta!
[18:23] ---
    Brother!
[18:23] ---
    Mr. Guel!
[18:32] ---
    He blocked it?
[18:59] ---
    Wow!
[19:00] ---
    What was that move?!
[19:01] ---
    Mr. Guel!
[19:03] ---
    You can do it!
[19:06] ---
    Guel! Are you okay?
[19:10] ---
    This thing...
[19:12] ---
    Mr. Guel, you're as strong
    as I thought. But...
[19:15] ---
    Aerial!
[19:22] ---
    What the... Override?!
[19:29] ---
    Brother!
[19:30] ---
    I promised.
[19:32] ---
    For Miorine's birthday...
[19:35] ---
    I promised I'd win!
[19:48] ---
    I said I'd stay at her side forever.
[19:51] ---
    Now it's my turn to ask her that.
[19:56] ---
    We'll buy rings together
    and have a wedding.
[19:59] ---
    And we'll both wear the very best dresses!
[20:03] ---
    So...
[20:05] ---
    So...
[20:06] ---
    Please choose me!
[20:11] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:22] ---
    Aerial?
[20:45] ---
    He won!
[20:45] ---
    He won!
[20:46] ---
    Yeah!
[20:49] ---
    I believed in you... Brother!
[20:52] ---
    Suletta... lost?
[20:55] ---
    It can't be true.
[21:04] ---
    What do I do, Aerial?
[21:07] ---
    Even though it's Ms. Miorine's birthday...
[21:10] ---
    Even though I promised I'd win...
[21:18] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[21:19] ---
    Ms. Miorine?
[21:21] ---
    I'm so sorry! I... Aerial...
[21:24] ---
    She stopped moving all of a sudden, and...
[21:28] ---
    I know.
[21:30] ---
    Because it was me who did it.
[21:34] ---
    But... why?
[21:36] ---
    I wanted you to lose.
[21:40] ---
    That's a lie...
[21:41] ---
    I told you from the beginning, didn't I?
[21:44] ---
    This was a trade.
[21:46] ---
    You made a good shield.
[21:51] ---
    But then, you can't fulfill
    your obligations if you lose.
[21:55] ---
    Wait!
[21:56] ---
    Please wait!
[21:58] ---
    Mr. Guel! Please duel with me again!
[22:01] ---
    Next time... I won't lose!
[22:03] ---
    So--
[22:04] ---
    I'll take that back too.
[22:08] ---
    Thanks for all your hard work.
[22:15] ---
    Goodbye,
[22:18] ---
    my Mercurian country bumpkin.
