**[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!
