[00:03] ---
    A shield?
[00:04] ---
    She blocked it?
[00:06] ---
    In that case...
[00:18] ---
    What just happened?
[00:20] ---
    What kind of mobile suit is that?
[00:23] ---
    GUND-ARM...
[00:26] ---
    Gundam.
[00:27] ---
    Rouji!
[00:28] ---
    Yes!
[00:29] ---
    Haro.
[00:30] ---
    As you wish.
[00:33] ---
    There's no match for Its individual Permet code,
[00:37] ---
    but there's one machine that's similar.
[00:39] ---
    Ochs Earth, huh?
[00:41] ---
    But that's impossible. I mean...
[00:43] ---
    If that's the Witch's mobile suit, then...
[00:47] ---
    We can't just leave it alone.
[00:50] ---
    Me?
[00:52] ---
    Your groom?
[00:54] ---
    My lousy father
    decided without consulting me.
[00:57] ---
    I'm to marry whoever the Holder is.
[01:00] ---
    B-But...
[01:01] ---
    Don't worry.
[01:03] ---
    There's no way I'm doing that.
[01:06] ---
    All I want...
[01:08] ---
    is to go to Earth.
[02:41] ---
    No way!
[02:41] ---
    Really?
[02:44] ---
    Guel lost?
[02:45] ---
    I can't believe it.
[02:47] ---
    Wow...
[02:49] ---
    They build mobile suits like this at Mercury?
[02:54] ---
    Hey look...
[02:54] ---
    Jamming?!
[03:01] ---
    Warning!
[03:03] ---
    Cease dueling immediately!
[03:05] ---
    Repeat!
[03:06] ---
    Cease dueling immediately!
[03:11] ---
    The front management company?
[03:13] ---
    Student ID Number LP041.
[03:15] ---
    Suletta Mercury.
[03:17] ---
    You and your mobile suit
[03:19] ---
    are to be taken into custody
    on suspicion of using a Gundam.
[03:22] ---
    A Gundam?
[03:24] ---
    You've got it wrong! This is Aerial!
[03:26] ---
    Lower your weapons!
[03:27] ---
    Your job is to manage the fronts.
[03:30] ---
    This is a school!
[03:32] ---
    Rules set by the President
    take precedence over all others.
[03:36] ---
    The President?
[03:40] ---
    That lousy father of mine...
[03:48] ---
    Weren't all the Gundam types disposed of?
[03:51] ---
    It certainly doesn't
    look like an old machine.
[03:54] ---
    Don't those things take
    the lives of their pilots?
[03:57] ---
    Yeah, but that girl is alive, isn't she?
[03:59] ---
    Suletta Mercury. Age 17.
[04:02] ---
    Student ID Number LP041.
    Piloting department...
[04:06] ---
    Your father is deceased
[04:07] ---
    and your mother
    is currently assigned to Lagrange 1.
[04:11] ---
    Is that correct?
[04:13] ---
    I already answered you.
[04:15] ---
    Is that correct?
[04:18] ---
    Yes.
[04:19] ---
    Do you acknowledge that
    the machine you were piloting
[04:21] ---
    was a Gundam?
[04:24] ---
    Her name is Aerial!
[04:26] ---
    And that the use of machines
    equipped with the GUND Format
[04:29] ---
    has been frozen and prohibited
    by the Agreement?
[04:34] ---
    I don't know... what you're talking about.
[04:40] ---
    Suletta Mercury.
[04:42] ---
    Are you not a member of
[04:44] ---
    the Vanadis Institute
    that developed the Gundams?
[04:49] ---
    She's a Gundam pilot?
[04:52] ---
    She doesn't look like a witch.
[04:55] ---
    Any links to Vanadis?
[04:57] ---
    Her mobile suit is registered...
[05:01] ---
    to the Shin Sei Development
    Corporation of Mercury.
[05:05] ---
    We're still investigating--
[05:07] ---
    If she's not a witch,
    then how do you explain this?
[05:10] ---
    Do you think a bunch of miners
    at Mercury could build their own Gundam?!
[05:14] ---
    Or perhaps...
[05:16] ---
    it's the ghost of Ochs Earth.
[05:19] ---
    The duel results are void.
[05:21] ---
    Confiscate that machine immediately
[05:23] ---
    and send the pilot back to Mercury!
[05:26] ---
    And then your son will reclaim
    the title of Holder, won't he?
[05:32] ---
    Summon Shin Sei's representative.
[05:35] ---
    We will hold an inquiry.
[05:39] ---
    The duel results were voided.
[05:41] ---
    Well, she cheated, right?
[05:43] ---
    I knew something wasn't right.
[05:45] ---
    What about the transfer student?
[05:46] ---
    They're probably still interrogating her.
[05:49] ---
    I almost feel sorry for that Mercurian girl.
[05:53] ---
    Well, she made off
    with someone else's prize, after all...
[05:56] ---
    Right.
[06:01] ---
    Nanaura!
[06:01] ---
    Yes?
[06:03] ---
    This arrived
    from the front management company.
[06:05] ---
    That transfer student took yours, right?
[06:08] ---
    I offered it to her.
[06:10] ---
    She was in trouble.
[06:12] ---
    The lending of student notebooks
    is against school regulations.
[06:16] ---
    When will that girl be back?
[06:20] ---
    An Earthian like you should stay out of this.
[06:22] ---
    Just concentrate on your studies.
[06:28] ---
    Take care of the Dueling Committee for me.
[06:31] ---
    You work awfully hard for a student.
[06:33] ---
    I'm just doing it because I want to.
[06:35] ---
    A witch trial at the head office?
[06:37] ---
    Something like that.
[06:40] ---
    That girl...
[06:42] ---
    Could she really be a witch?
[06:45] ---
    What's gotten into you?
[06:47] ---
    Curious about someone besides yourself, Elan?
[06:51] ---
    Don't tell me you're in love.
[06:55] ---
    Falling in love is something I'll never do.
[06:58] ---
    No matter what.
[07:04] ---
    Let me help.
[07:09] ---
    It was your great "ace"
    who broke these, you know.
[07:11] ---
    Well, my brother told me to fix them.
[07:13] ---
    Does that mean he's sorry?
[07:16] ---
    And where is he now?
[07:18] ---
    He's absent today.
[07:21] ---
    He probably got summoned
    after losing that duel.
[07:23] ---
    By his father, that is.
[07:25] ---
    Well, it's better than a parent
    who's aloof from their child!
[07:27] ---
    Like father, like daughter.
[07:29] ---
    You just leave that transfer student
    dangling after she fought for you.
[07:34] ---
    I never asked her to do that.
[07:35] ---
    I'll tell her when she gets back...
[07:37] ---
    not to meddle in others' affairs.
[07:40] ---
    Since you don't seem to know,
    we'll fill you in.
[07:43] ---
    The Mercurian girl is going to be expelled.
[07:47] ---
    They're going to scrap her mobile suit, too!
[07:50] ---
    I heard my dad say so--
[07:54] ---
    Wh-What? You got a prob--
[07:58] ---
    You said it, right?
[08:01] ---
    FIx it, then.
[08:03] ---
    And one more thing.
[08:05] ---
    If you touch my tomatoes, I'll kill you.
[08:09] ---
    Here it is. Shin Sei Development Corporation.
[08:13] ---
    Founded 33 years ago.
    Ranked D within the group.
[08:16] ---
    151st place in sales?
[08:19] ---
    Isn't that the bottom of the ladder?
[08:20] ---
    I'm impressed she got into this school.
[08:23] ---
    Still...
[08:24] ---
    What?
[08:24] ---
    They made their own mobile suit.
[08:27] ---
    But unless it's approved, what good is it?
[08:30] ---
    If she had a bigger supporter,
    it might've been a different story.
[08:33] ---
    At our school, you're as good as the rank
    of the company that recommended you.
[08:38] ---
    I can hardly be proud of being born on Earth.
[08:40] ---
    It's the Spacians who are holding us down!
[08:44] ---
    Keep your voice down, Chuchu.
[08:46] ---
    I don't care if they hear!
[08:49] ---
    Well, I do care.
[08:51] ---
    Do you mind moving?
[08:53] ---
    That's our usual table.
[08:56] ---
    Since when?!
[08:58] ---
    It's fine.
[08:59] ---
    We just finished eating.
[09:00] ---
    Catch you later.
[09:03] ---
    You're done eating, right?
[09:06] ---
    Throw that out with the rest.
[09:08] ---
    Hey! Learn some manners, Spacian!
[09:10] ---
    Let's go, Chuchu.
[09:12] ---
    What?
[09:14] ---
    Martin, too.
[09:16] ---
    Hey wait, Nika!
[09:19] ---
    I'll clean up right away.
[09:22] ---
    Nika, why did you...
[09:25] ---
    As I said, there's a possibility
    that was a forbidden machine.
[09:29] ---
    I'm only asking to see the pilot!
[09:32] ---
    She's my classmate!
[09:33] ---
    It's not up to me.
[09:36] ---
    Who's it up to, then?
[09:39] ---
    President Delling.
[09:41] ---
    Now, if you would please leave.
[09:48] ---
    To prevent an infectious spread of "SV29"
    confirmed in Front Autonomous Sector 33...
[09:54] ---
    Mistress Miorine.
[09:57] ---
    "Go back to class," right?
[09:59] ---
    No. I have a message from your father
[10:01] ---
    I don't want to read it.
[10:03] ---
    Then I'll read it for you.
[10:05] ---
    "Miorine,
[10:06] ---
    I'm unenrolling you from the school."
[10:08] ---
    What?
[10:09] ---
    "I'll arrange a groom myself.
    Return immediately."
[10:12] ---
    What?
[10:13] ---
    That's all.
[10:14] ---
    Give me that!
[10:19] ---
    What the hell is this?
[10:22] ---
    It was you who decided
[10:24] ---
    that my fiance would be
    selected through duels.
[10:28] ---
    Suletta's the one who won the duel!
[10:30] ---
    No man chosen by that jerk
    will be a husband of mine!
[10:34] ---
    It's no use saying that to me.
[10:37] ---
    He's always like this.
[10:40] ---
    He never consults me, he never explains...
[10:43] ---
    Whether it's enrolling me at this school
[10:45] ---
    or forcing me to quit piano.
[10:47] ---
    Or deciding who I should be friends with.
[10:50] ---
    Even my own mother's funeral!
[10:58] ---
    Where are you going?
[10:59] ---
    To the bathroom!
[11:01] ---
    Don't let Mistress Miorine out of your sight.
[11:11] ---
    Die, die, die, die...
[11:17] ---
    You must be Ms. Miorine Rembran.
[11:21] ---
    Designated Colony Coordinate XY72Z53.
[11:24] ---
    That's...
[11:27] ---
    the rendezvous point for my escape!
[11:31] ---
    It's nice to finally meet you in person.
[11:34] ---
    You didn't show up
    to meet us the other day,
[11:36] ---
    so I came to check on you.
[11:38] ---
    Is this some sort of after-sales care?
[11:42] ---
    You did pay us, after all.
[11:44] ---
    If you haven't changed your mind,
[11:47] ---
    would you like to escape now?
[11:49] ---
    What?
[11:50] ---
    If we act now, I can send you
    to Earth as you desire.
[11:53] ---
    To Earth?!
[11:58] ---
    But...
[12:00] ---
    I can wait for 30 minutes.
[12:02] ---
    Make a decision you won't regret.
[12:12] ---
    I'll go.
[12:12] ---
    What?
[12:14] ---
    You've gotta get me out of here!
[12:24] ---
    Is it really this easy?
[12:26] ---
    It's all about timing.
[12:28] ---
    We're lucky the spaceport controller
    was a collaborator of ours,
[12:30] ---
    and then you and I happened to meet.
[12:34] ---
    We'll be leaving the airspace
    controlled by this port in 5 minutes.
[12:37] ---
    Once we do, we can't change our course.
[12:40] ---
    Are you sure?
[12:43] ---
    Yes.
[12:45] ---
    I've made up my mind.
[12:49] ---
    Mistress Miorine has disappeared again.
[12:52] ---
    What about the men watching her?
[12:55] ---
    She shook them off.
[12:56] ---
    Shall we seal the port?
[12:59] ---
    Have the immigration authorities
    spread a dragnet.
[13:02] ---
    I know she's bound for Earth, anyway.
[13:05] ---
    More importantly,
    when will the inquiry begin?
[13:07] ---
    We've just confirmed the arrival
    of the Shin Sei representative.
[13:12] ---
    I see.
[13:17] ---
    So a member of the Jeturk family
    lost a duel in a Jeturk mobile suit?
[13:22] ---
    Are you trying to destroy
    the company's reputation?
[13:24] ---
    Forgive me, Dad.
[13:27] ---
    This time around, I'll arrange
    to have the duel result voided.
[13:32] ---
    Don't embarrass me again!
[13:35] ---
    Yes.
[13:37] ---
    You have a visitor, sir.
[13:39] ---
    Who is it?
[13:40] ---
    It's...
[13:42] ---
    The representative of
    the Shin Sei Development Corporation.
[13:45] ---
    What?
[13:50] ---
    It's been a while,
[13:52] ---
    Mr. Jeturk.
[13:54] ---
    We haven't seen each other for 3 years
    since your appointment as president.
[13:58] ---
    Lady Prospera.
[14:00] ---
    That's right.
[14:02] ---
    If you want me to talk to the President
    on your behalf, the answer is no.
[14:05] ---
    Not at all. The opposite, in fact.
[14:08] ---
    What?
[14:10] ---
    It's you who should ask me for a favor.
[14:22] ---
    Mom...
[14:25] ---
    Y-Yes?
[14:27] ---
    Aren't you hungry?
[14:30] ---
    My name's Elan Ceres.
[14:33] ---
    Like you, I'm a student at Asticassia.
[14:36] ---
    The guard here let me do his job.
[14:41] ---
    Is it really okay?
[14:43] ---
    Go ahead.
[14:45] ---
    I-It's so nice of you.
[15:20] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:24] ---
    You're welcome.
[15:26] ---
    Why would you...
[15:30] ---
    You interest me.
[15:31] ---
    Huh?
[15:33] ---
    Suletta Mercury...
[15:35] ---
    I'd like to learn more about you.
[15:44] ---
    We will now begin the inquiry.
[15:49] ---
    Lady Prospera, representative of
    the Shin Sei Development Corporation.
[15:54] ---
    Are you a witch?
[15:56] ---
    No.
[15:58] ---
    Do you have ties to the Vanadis Institute?
[16:01] ---
    No.
[16:02] ---
    Then how did you build a Gundam?
[16:05] ---
    The Aerial is not a Gundam.
[16:09] ---
    It's a product of Shin Sei's
    newly developed drone technology.
[16:13] ---
    What?
[16:13] ---
    Did she say drone?
[16:17] ---
    Shaddiq.
[16:18] ---
    Yes, Father.
[16:20] ---
    During the duel, that machine's
    Permet influx values exceeded the standards.
[16:27] ---
    This is a unique characteristic
[16:29] ---
    of the GUND Format,
    the core system of all Gundams.
[16:32] ---
    If that machine is equipped
    with the GUND Format,
[16:36] ---
    you should also have detected a data storm.
[16:40] ---
    Well?
[16:41] ---
    There was none detected.
[16:43] ---
    Its control system is based on
    a conventional Permet link.
[16:47] ---
    I'm confident that it complies with all
    of the group's technology provisions.
[16:51] ---
    That alone doesn't prove it isn't a Gundam.
[16:54] ---
    You can't prove that it is, either.
[16:57] ---
    Lady Prospera...
[16:59] ---
    You are merely using the lack
    of evidence as an excuse.
[17:04] ---
    Are you trying to tell us
    that black is white?
[17:08] ---
    We're one of the smallest, but
    still a member of the Benerit Group.
[17:12] ---
    We are, of course,
    aware of the Cathedra Agreement.
[17:16] ---
    I ask for your trust.
[17:18] ---
    I can't help doubting
    when you come dressed like that.
[17:37] ---
    This arm,
[17:39] ---
    as well as the face behind this mask,
[17:42] ---
    were both claimed
    by Mercury's magnetic field.
[17:46] ---
    Environmental conditions
    on Mercury are severe.
[17:48] ---
    However, utilizing our drone technology,
[17:52] ---
    we'll be able to mine for Permet
    without putting anyone in danger.
[17:58] ---
    Please allow us to continue
    the Aerial's development.
[18:01] ---
    We are in need of the group's support.
[18:08] ---
    No. That thing is a Gundam.
[18:11] ---
    Why is that?
[18:13] ---
    Because I said so.
[18:16] ---
    Any objections?
[18:22] ---
    Then it's settled.
[18:24] ---
    The mobile suit shall be disposed of.
[18:27] ---
    We'll get rid of the student pilot.
[18:45] ---
    What are you doing here?
[18:47] ---
    Miorine...
[18:48] ---
    I came to give you a piece of my mind.
[18:51] ---
    If you made these rules yourself,
    you shouldn't change them after the fact!
[18:55] ---
    You hypocritical loser of a father!
[18:59] ---
    Weren't you supposed to take her to Earth?
[19:01] ---
    I have to honor my customers' requests.
[19:04] ---
    And when it comes
    to the President's daughter,
[19:07] ---
    it can't hurt to be owed a favor.
[19:09] ---
    As calculating as ever.
[19:12] ---
    Space is in need of new rules.
[19:17] ---
    The only people
    permitted to stand in this room
[19:21] ---
    are the powers-that-be from the
    top companies of the Benerit Group.
[19:25] ---
    But you are different.
[19:27] ---
    You are merely a student
    with no authority to speak of.
[19:30] ---
    It's always the same with you.
[19:33] ---
    You look down and control my life
    without asking or explaining.
[19:36] ---
    Neither consultation
    nor explanation are necessary.
[19:39] ---
    I decide.
[19:41] ---
    You obey.
[19:43] ---
    Did you think you could speak out
    against me because you're my daughter?
[19:48] ---
    What's your problem?!
[19:50] ---
    You're a king?
[19:51] ---
    That's right.
[19:53] ---
    I am vested with power.
[19:56] ---
    You have none.
[19:59] ---
    The powerless shut their mouths and obey.
[20:02] ---
    Those are the rules of our world.
[20:05] ---
    If you move forward, you gain two...
[20:09] ---
    In that case, I challenge you to a duel!
[20:12] ---
    If we win,
[20:14] ---
    you'll accept Suletta as my fiance.
[20:17] ---
    If we lose, you can do as you please!
[20:19] ---
    Were you unable to comprehend my words?
[20:22] ---
    I'm saying that I'll fight
    according to your rules!
[20:26] ---
    At least take responsibility
    for your own decisions!
[20:30] ---
    You're an adult, aren't you?
[20:34] ---
    May I speak?
[20:36] ---
    Even if was accidentally, that machine
    defeated our company's Dilanza.
[20:41] ---
    Perhaps we should give it time
    to see what it can do.
[20:46] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:47] ---
    Recently, mobile suits from
    other companies have made market gains.
[20:52] ---
    That machine could be
    the key to recovering our market share.
[20:57] ---
    I believe the school duels will be
    an effective test of the Aerial's abilities.
[21:02] ---
    And will you provide us with
    the machine's technical data?
[21:07] ---
    Of course.
[21:09] ---
    Hold it right there!
[21:10] ---
    Do you intend to violate
    the Cathedra Agreement?
[21:12] ---
    I object!
[21:13] ---
    This is...
[21:15] ---
    How will you announce this
    to the outside world?
[21:17] ---
    It could be valuable.
[21:18] ---
    This is about ethics!
[21:19] ---
    But...
[21:27] ---
    Suletta!
[21:29] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[21:34] ---
    What are you...
[21:35] ---
    Let's do it. The duel...
[21:38] ---
    If you lose, Aerial will be scrapped!
[21:41] ---
    And you'll be expelled!
[21:42] ---
    You have to win!
