**[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!*
**[15:20] ---**
*Unlocking MS containers!*
**[15:25] ---**
*KP001, Guel Jeturk...*
**[15:29] ---**
*LP041, Suletta Mercury...*
**[15:32] ---**
Darilbalde...
**[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.*
***SIGN*** 13th Tactical Testing Sector
**[16:44] ---**
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.
