[00:01] ---
    So you're still alive.
[00:04] ---
    I've always had the devil's luck.
[00:07] ---
    And since when do you work
    with Peil Technologies, Bel?
[00:10] ---
    I had... no other choice.
[00:14] ---
    So you're the one
    carrying on the Vanadis legacy.
[00:18] ---
    The machine called Aerial...
[00:20] ---
    There's no way you built it on your own.
[00:23] ---
    What are you planning to do?
[00:26] ---
    Why have your own daughter pilot it?
[00:30] ---
    You're much more talkative than I remember.
[00:33] ---
    It's no use taking revenge
    for a 21-year-old--
[00:37] ---
    That Gundam pilot...
    How many have there been?
[00:42] ---
    Nice to see you after so long.
[00:44] ---
    Until we meet again.
[00:49] ---
    Yes.
[00:50] ---
    The witch is under the wing of
    Peil Technologies.
[00:53] ---
    As expected, we smoked her out.
[00:56] ---
    Worried?
[00:58] ---
    Not at all. Aerial will surely win.
[01:01] ---
    I trust my darling daughter.
[02:38] ---
    "How you annoy me," huh?
[02:41] ---
    Why would the Ice Prince speak so harshly?
[02:43] ---
    He's such a creep!
[02:46] ---
    Isn't he the one who invited you?
[02:48] ---
    Now he's even pissed me off.
[02:51] ---
    Is it because I asked about his birthday?
[02:54] ---
    You did nothing wrong, Suletta.
[02:57] ---
    I'd say you fall for people's
    sweet words too easily.
[03:00] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[03:01] ---
    Well, you can't take it back now.
[03:04] ---
    Better just crush him in that duel!
[03:05] ---
    What I can't accept is
[03:07] ---
    that you agreed to duel him
    without even consulting me.
[03:13] ---
    I'm... sorry.
[03:16] ---
    I won't forgive you if you lose.
[03:20] ---
    The Jeturk company is hereby
    cutting off all your support.
[03:24] ---
    And of course,
    you'll have to leave Jeturk House.
[03:27] ---
    Are they really evicting Mr. Guel?
[03:31] ---
    It's a direct order from the CEO.
[03:34] ---
    Where am I supposed to live?
[03:36] ---
    I have a message from your father.
[03:38] ---
    "Consider it an act of mercy that I'm
    at least paying the rest of your tuition."
[03:43] ---
    That is all.
[03:45] ---
    Brother...
[03:47] ---
    Lauda.
[03:49] ---
    Look after Jeturk House.
[03:56] ---
    Both parties, deposit
    your souls on Libra's scales.
[04:00] ---
    The duelists are Elan Ceres
    and Suletta Mercury.
[04:04] ---
    The location will be
    the airspace outside the front.
[04:06] ---
    Outside the front?
[04:08] ---
    Elan Ceres, what is your stake in this duel?
[04:12] ---
    If I win,
[04:14] ---
    Aerial will be mine.
[04:17] ---
    Suletta Mercury, what is your stake?
[04:22] ---
    I...
[04:24] ---
    Shall we take it that you have
    nothing to gain from this?
[04:28] ---
    There's no need to rush.
[04:30] ---
    Just decide by the day of the duel.
[04:32] ---
    You don't mind, do you?
[04:33] ---
    Whatever.
[04:38] ---
    His walls are even higher than usual.
[04:40] ---
    Did you do something to him?
[04:43] ---
    You mean it's my fault?
[04:46] ---
    Who knows.
[04:48] ---
    But since you arrived, both Guel and Elan
    haven't been themselves.
[04:53] ---
    Even I want to know more about you now.
[04:56] ---
    Mercurian Miss.
[04:58] ---
    Airspace outside the front?
[05:00] ---
    Do you even have a thruster unit?
[05:03] ---
    No, I don't.
[05:04] ---
    This is bad!
[05:06] ---
    Peil House's machines
    are known for their mobility!
[05:09] ---
    On top of that, you're facing a new model.
[05:12] ---
    You'll be at a disadvantage
    with this equipment.
[05:14] ---
    I'm sorry.
[05:16] ---
    Don't worry about it!
[05:18] ---
    The conditions of the duel are decided
    exclusively by the Dueling Committee.
[05:22] ---
    So what do we do?
[05:24] ---
    This House has no money
    to buy a thruster unit.
[05:28] ---
    Can we borrow one from another House?
[05:30] ---
    Fat chance getting Spacians
    to loan one to us Earthians.
[05:34] ---
    How about we make one, then?
[05:35] ---
    Huh?
[05:38] ---
    All clear! Bring it on down!
[05:44] ---
    Shall we start by inspecting
    the propulsion system?
[05:47] ---
    Will this thing work?
[05:49] ---
    Don't underestimate Nika.
    There's no doubt she can do it.
[05:53] ---
    Right?
[05:55] ---
    I'll do my best.
[05:56] ---
    Given our finances, this is
    putting us in a huge deficit.
[06:00] ---
    How are we gonna eat next month?
[06:03] ---
    Man...
[06:05] ---
    We're betting everything we have on you.
[06:08] ---
    The odds are 2.7 to 1.
[06:10] ---
    If we win, we'll cover her costs.
[06:12] ---
    A-And if I lose?
[06:15] ---
    Bankruptcy.
[06:15] ---
    Bankruptcy.
[06:16] ---
    I'll... do my best.
[06:37] ---
    Are you awake?
[06:39] ---
    You were moaning in your sleep again.
[06:42] ---
    It doesn't interfere with the tests.
    How are the results?
[06:46] ---
    You should have no problem
    in your next battle.
[06:49] ---
    You mean I won't survive the one after that.
[06:56] ---
    Hi there!
[06:57] ---
    It's been a while... Me.
[07:00] ---
    Hello.
[07:02] ---
    As gloomy as ever...
[07:04] ---
    You're my surrogate, you know.
[07:07] ---
    Can't you act a bit more cheerfully?
[07:09] ---
    Master Elan, what are you doing here?
[07:12] ---
    I came to pay my respects to you guys.
[07:14] ---
    You're going to duel the Holder, right?
[07:16] ---
    The company ordered me to.
    It wasn't my idea.
[07:19] ---
    Don't be like that.
[07:21] ---
    There's something in it for you, after all.
[07:23] ---
    If you get us the bride,
    we'll give your face back to you.
[07:27] ---
    We'll also arrange for a citizen ID number.
[07:29] ---
    Wouldn't you like that?
[07:30] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[07:31] ---
    Then why did you accept
    the role of my double?
[07:34] ---
    You knew full well
    that this mobile suit was a curse.
[07:39] ---
    Long before that...
[07:42] ---
    I was already cursed.
[07:50] ---
    Next we'll try a variable thrust test.
[07:52] ---
    Right.
[07:55] ---
    Once you stop the engines,
    reactivate immediately.

[07:57] ---
    Right.
[08:04] ---
    Okay. Your propulsion is stable.
[08:07] ---
    The combustion control
    functions are working, too.
[08:09] ---
    Shall we head back, Suletta?
[08:12] ---
    Right.
[08:16] ---
    Tomorrow...
[08:17] ---
    Yes?
[08:18] ---
    Will you be ready to fight? With Mr. Elan...
[08:23] ---
    Mr. Elan was only kind to me...
    because that was his plan.

[08:29] ---
    And yet, I was really happy.
[08:32] ---
    I feel so dumb.
[08:35] ---
    Exactly. It was dumb.
[08:39] ---
    In fact, Elan's right about you.
[08:41] ---
    You really are annoying.
[08:43] ---
    Ms. Miorine...
[08:45] ---
    But that's just how you are.
[08:46] ---
    You annoy me by meddling in my affairs
[08:48] ---
    and act on your own
    without listening to me...

[08:52] ---
    Move forward, gain two, right?
[08:54] ---
    So how could you run away here?!
[08:57] ---
    This is no time to feel sorry for yourself.
[08:59] ---
    Get out there and move forward!
[09:05] ---
    Right!
[09:06] ---
    I'm on my way!
[09:12] ---
    What?
[09:14] ---
    You've already forgiven her, haven't you?
[09:16] ---
    If she loses,
    I'll be in trouble as her bride.
[09:20] ---
    That goes for all of you as well, doesn't it?
[09:22] ---
    I have faith that Suletta will win.
[09:28] ---
    Whoa! What the heck is that?
[09:32] ---
    M-My apologies!
[09:34] ---
    Sorry to be a bother!
[09:35] ---
    Hey, Mercurian girl!
[09:37] ---
    What are you doing here?
[09:38] ---
    The duel isn't today!
[09:40] ---
    Whoa!
[09:41] ---
    Um...
[09:41] ---
    Is Mr. Elan there?
[09:43] ---
    This is LP041, Suletta Mercury.
[09:47] ---
    I came...
[09:48] ---
    to talk to Mr. Elan.
[09:50] ---
    Talk?
[09:52] ---
    To Elan Ceres?
[09:53] ---
    Good luck with that!
[09:55] ---
    He hardly talks to us, his housemates.
[09:57] ---
    Nobody at Peil House knows a thing
    about that "Pharact" machine, either!
[10:03] ---
    Please.
[10:04] ---
    I really would like to talk to him.
[10:14] ---
    Testing... testing...
[10:17] ---
    Mr. Elan, can you hear me?
[10:19] ---
    It's Suletta!
[10:22] ---
    Mr. Elan!
[10:23] ---
    Why did you say that to me?
[10:25] ---
    Why do we have to duel?
[10:28] ---
    What do you want with Aerial?
[10:31] ---
    Please tell me!
[10:32] ---
    Do I really annoy you?
[10:38] ---
    See? We told you so.
[10:40] ---
    Now go home!
[10:45] ---
    Happy birthday to you.
[10:50] ---
    Happy birthday to you.
[10:55] ---
    Happy birthday, happy birthday...
[11:01] ---
    Happy birthday to you.
SIGN    CALL FROM ELAN
[11:08] ---
    Go home.
[11:11] ---
    I told you, I don't have a birthday.
[11:14] ---
    That's why.
[11:17] ---
    What if we made today your birthday?
[11:21] ---
    Don't you feel empty without a birthday?
[11:25] ---
    That's why...
[11:26] ---
    You really do...
[11:29] ---
    annoy me.
[11:31] ---
    Open Gate No. 6!
[11:35] ---
    No anomalies in
    catapult superconductive storage.

[11:39] ---
    No error warnings
    on any components of the flight unit!

[11:42] ---
    No problems with INS alignment!
[11:45] ---
    Suletta?
[11:47] ---
    Were you able to speak with Mr. Elan?
[11:50] ---
    No. But...
[11:53] ---
    I did decide what my stake is in this duel.
[11:58] ---
    No obstacles in launch direction.
[12:00] ---
    We're ready!
[12:01] ---
    Opening hatch!
[12:02] ---
    Transferring launch authorization to pilot.
[12:05] ---
    Go get him!
[12:06] ---
    Right!
[12:07] ---
    LP041, Suletta Mercury...
[12:10] ---
    Aerial, taking off!
[12:19] ---
    No problems with effective exhaust velocity.
[12:22] ---
    Suletta,
[12:24] ---
    Peil House's academic vessel
    is ahead on your course.

[12:28] ---
    No hazardous objects
    including interplanetary matter.

[12:31] ---
    Ready to launch.
[12:33] ---
    Transferring authorization to pilot.
[12:35] ---
    KP002, Elan Ceres...
[12:38] ---
    Pharact, launching.
[12:44] ---
    Welcome. Nice to meet you.
[12:46] ---
    Jeturk House's new leader,
[12:48] ---
    Lauda Neill.
[12:50] ---
    We can skip the formalities.
[12:52] ---
    Please just start the duel.
[12:54] ---
    What's this? Are you still sore
    about that last duel?
[12:59] ---
    Ooh, scary...
[13:01] ---
    With mutual consent by both parties,
    we will now begin the duel.

[13:05] ---
    As always, victory will go
[13:07] ---
    to the first one to break the blade
    antenna of their opponent's mobile suit.

[13:11] ---
    The observer shall be the leader
    of Grassley House, Shaddiq Zenelli.
[13:16] ---
    Both parties, face off.
[13:19] ---
    Mr. Elan?
[13:21] ---
    Mercurian Miss,
[13:22] ---
    have you decided
    what your stake is in this duel?

[13:24] ---
    Yes, if I win,
[13:27] ---
    I want Mr. Elan to tell me all about himself.
[13:30] ---
    Huh? That sounds like...
[13:32] ---
    A love confession.
[13:34] ---
    She's really an annoying girl.
[13:37] ---
    Well then, let's begin.
[13:39] ---
    Victory is never decided
    by mobile suit performance alone.
[13:43] ---
    Nor by the skill of the pilot, alone.
[13:46] ---
    The result itself is the only truth!
[13:46] ---
    1\an8}The result itself is the only truth!
[13:49] ---
    Fix release.
[14:06] ---
    Ms. Nika, this is amazing. At this rate...
[14:08] ---
    Machine load is within acceptable limits.
[14:10] ---
    Nice work, Nika.
[14:12] ---
    I... I guess...
[14:16] ---
    You want to know about me?
[14:22] ---
    I'm a disposable pawn created
    for the Gundam's sake.
[14:26] ---
    Is that enough for you?
[14:31] ---
    You're more mean-spirited than I thought,
[14:34] ---
    Suletta Mercury!
[14:38] ---
    You have everything.
[14:41] ---
    Friends, family...
[14:43] ---
    A past and a future...
[14:44] ---
    A wish list of things to do...
[14:46] ---
    Even hope!
[14:48] ---
    Mr. Elan?
[14:49] ---
    Then why can't you spare me this victory?!
[14:52] ---
    Otherwise...
[14:53] ---
    it's just too unfair!
[14:58] ---
    Aerial!
[15:02] ---
    Elan...
[15:03] ---
    I've never seen you so worked up.
[15:13] ---
    What mobility!
[15:15] ---
    It's way too fast.
[15:16] ---
    This is why they chose
    the airspace outside the front.
[15:20] ---
    She'll never keep up
    using a flight unit we threw together!
[15:23] ---
    At this rate...
[15:24] ---
    He'll torture her to death from out of range.
[15:26] ---
    But that's...
[15:27] ---
    Even if she does manage to get close,
    next he'll...
[15:31] ---
    Permet score,
[15:32] ---
    three.
[15:37] ---
    There they are!
[15:37] ---
    I knew it!
[15:39] ---
    If any of them touch her,
[15:40] ---
    even through her armor,
    her electrical systems will be blown.
[15:43] ---
    Suletta, evade it!
[15:44] ---
    Right!
[15:47] ---
    You won't get away.
[15:50] ---
    She's hit!
[15:51] ---
    Shut up!
[15:52] ---
    That GUND-Bit is finished.
[15:55] ---
    Everyone!
[16:01] ---
    She's better at controlling
    GUND-Bits than me.
[16:10] ---
    In a contest of speed, a Peil mobile
    suit will always have the advantage.
[16:14] ---
    What now?
[16:15] ---
    Suletta Mercury...
[16:18] ---
    I can't catch him at this rate.
[16:20] ---
    Please, everyone!
[16:22] ---
    Give me your strength!
[16:24] ---
    The Aerial has sped up, too.
[16:26] ---
    They're playing chase, huh?
[16:30] ---
    Her annoying behavior
    is as tough as the hardest alloys.
[16:34] ---
    Permet score, four!
[16:48] ---
    She's really pushing it.
[16:50] ---
    She's forcing it too far.
[16:52] ---
    But she's definitely getting closer.
[16:58] ---
    Rouji?
[16:59] ---
    They've passed the border lights.
[17:03] ---
    This is bad.
[17:04] ---
    The data storm has exceeded
    acceptable limits.
[17:13] ---
    Deploy!
[17:20] ---
    Got him!
[17:21] ---
    That's a hit!
[17:27] ---
    Suletta!
[17:28] ---
    There's damage
    to the flight unit's left wing.
[17:30] ---
    Belmeria Winston...
[17:33] ---
    Your diagnosis missed the mark.
[17:35] ---
    But even so,
[17:37] ---
    I'll at least deny your worth,
[17:39] ---
    Suletta Mercury!
[17:43] ---
    
[17:44] ---
    Get out of there, Suletta!
[17:48] ---
    She's trapped!
[18:01] ---
    Nothing's moving. What did she do?
[18:17] ---
    You're...
[18:37] ---
    All right!
[18:37] ---
    All right!
[18:39] ---
    Yes!
[18:39] ---
    She did it!
[18:41] ---
    Did you get a record of that?
[18:43] ---
    Permet decoding data, recording complete.
[18:48] ---
    Phew...
[18:49] ---
    Thank you. Good work, Aerial.
[18:54] ---
    I feel like I could hear your voice
    more than ever today.
[19:03] ---
    Mr. Elan...
[19:24] ---
    So that's it.
[19:27] ---
    I never knew...
[19:29] ---
    Mr. Elan?
[19:30] ---
    Mr. Elan! Mr. Elan!
[19:34] ---
    Mr. Elan!
[19:40] ---
    Mr. Elan?
[19:42] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[19:44] ---
    Are you hurt?
[19:46] ---
    Your stake was to learn about me, wasn't it?
[19:51] ---
    I did have someone. Long ago.
[19:54] ---
    Someone who would celebrate my birthday.
[19:57] ---
    All this time, I thought I had nothing.
[20:00] ---
    But... it wasn't true.
[20:04] ---
    It wasn't true!
[20:06] ---
    You've got it all wrong.
[20:09] ---
    Huh?
[20:10] ---
    There are people who will celebrate
    your birthday. I'm one of them.
[20:15] ---
    It's absolutely wrong to say
    you have nothing, Mr. Elan!
[20:22] ---
    That's true. I've had it wrong.
[20:28] ---
    Are you okay with this?
[20:29] ---
    I'm an understanding bride.
[20:32] ---
    I can tolerate... some minor two-timing.
[20:55] ---
    He's late!
[20:56] ---
    It's not even the meeting time yet.
[20:59] ---
    He should be 5 minutes early!
[21:01] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[21:04] ---
    Um...
[21:06] ---
    Thank you... very much.
[21:08] ---
    Just obey your curfew, okay?
[21:18] ---
    Please, Ms. Nugen!
[21:21] ---
    Number Four is experienced!
[21:23] ---
    We could always choose
    to feed back the duel data--
