    Mobile Suit Gundam
    Rage on! Rage on! Rage on! Gundam!
[00:22] ---
    You must run forth!
[00:29] ---
    If you are still burning
    with furious rage...
[00:36] ---
    You must fight the towering foe!
    Fight! Fight! Fight!
[00:42] ---
    Bring to bear the rage of justice, Gundam!
[00:49] ---
    Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
[00:56] ---
    Rise once more! Rise once more!
    Rise once more! Gundam!
[01:02] ---
    You must seize the power!
[01:09] ---
    Fly toward the galaxy, Gundam!
[01:16] ---
    Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
[01:34] ---
    The Zabi family seeks to impose
    dictatorship over all of humanity,
[01:38] ---
    ruling from the Principality of Zeon,
[01:41] ---
    a gigantic space city-state
    floating beyond the moon.
[01:46] ---
    Sovereign Degwin Zabi ceded his power
    to his eldest son, Gihren Zabi,
[01:51] ---
    and war broke out.
[01:53] ---
    Faced with the superior preparation
    of the Zeon forces,
[01:58] ---
    the Earth Federation Forces were helpless.
[02:08] ---
    Avoiding Zeon's attacks and
    escaping from Side 7,
[02:11] ---
    the White Base, piloted by its youthful crew,
    returned to Earth.
[02:15] ---
    After bringing down Garma Zabi,
    the youngest member of the Zabi family,
[02:19] ---
    it is currently crossing the Pacific Ocean.
[02:22] ---
    The Threat of Zeon
[02:27] ---
    The Threat of Zeon.
[02:38] ---
    I will be returning to Zeon for a
    while within two months or so.
[02:42] ---
    But Father,
[02:43] ---
    before I return, I promise
    you a military triumph.
[02:47] ---
    I don't want our people
    to laugh at me because...
[02:50] ---
    ...I earned my promotion by being your son.
[02:53] ---
    Well then, I look forward to seeing you soon.
[03:05] ---
    Are you still here?
[03:10] ---
    I do understand how you feel. However,
[03:13] ---
    given your position as Sovereign,
[03:15] ---
    I beg you to carry out your duties.
[03:17] ---
    I know that.
[03:23] ---
    Zabi! Zabi...!
[03:26] ---
    Zabi! Zabi!
[03:30] ---
    Zabi! Zabi!
[03:33] ---
    Zabi! Zabi!
[03:36] ---
    Zabi! Zabi!
[03:39] ---
    Zabi! Zabi!
[03:43] ---
    Zabi! Zabi! Zabi!
[04:02] ---
    What's this "interesting" thing you found?
[04:04] ---
    Sir! We've caught a warship that's
    not on our identification charts.
[04:08] ---
    Hm. Show me.
[04:12] ---
    We believe
[04:14] ---
    Could this be a chance to avenge Lord Garma?
[04:17] ---
    Don't be so hasty, Hamon.
[04:21] ---
    Their position is quite
    a distance from our base.
[04:24] ---
    We need to factor in our cruising range.
[04:27] ---
    The Zanzibar can certainly make it, but...
[04:30] ---
    ...the rest of our force is only made up
    of atmospheric entry capsules.
[04:33] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[04:36] ---
    Then, are you going to simply let them go?
[04:40] ---
    My mission is to avenge Garma's death.
[04:42] ---
    I'm not going to ignore
    direct orders from Admiral Dozle.
[04:47] ---
    But we're in the middle of atmospheric entry.
    Please don't take unnecessary risks.
[04:51] ---
    But don't you hate the kind of man
    who would let someone pass by...
[04:54] ---
    ...without lifting a finger to stop them?
[05:10] ---
    Amuro, I'm coming in.
[05:16] ---
    More repairs?
[05:17] ---
    Yeah.
[05:20] ---
    Amuro, feeling down. Amuro.
[05:23] ---
    Think so?
[05:24] ---
    What is that?
[05:25] ---
    The Gundam's spare computer.
[05:27] ---
    Amuro, eat before it gets cold.
[05:29] ---
    All right.
[05:32] ---
    Amuro, brainwave levels low.
    Levels...
[05:35] ---
    I'm fine, Haro.
[05:37] ---
    Haro, don't disturb him. Come with me.
[05:43] ---
    See you later. I'll come pick up your tray.
[05:53] ---
    I'd better eat.
[06:15] ---
    The main engine's third nozzle
    has 2% less thrust than displayed.
[06:20] ---
    How much is that, in concrete terms?
[06:22] ---
    About 40 tons.
[06:23] ---
    Why did we leave it until it got this bad?!
[06:26] ---
    We haven't had time for
    proper maintenance, and...
[06:32] ---
    This isn't a playground! Get out of here!
[06:35] ---
    Mr. Bright!
[06:37] ---
    We're not playing!
[06:38] ---
    We're... not playing...!
[06:44] ---
    Check the third nozzle.
[06:47] ---
    I'm taking a break, Mirai.
[06:49] ---
    A-All right.
[06:53] ---
    I'm sorry. Please continue cleaning.
[06:57] ---
    We're counting on you.
[07:06] ---
    Go ahead.
[07:08] ---
    What is it?
[07:09] ---
    Nothing.
[07:11] ---
    I know what you want to say.
[07:13] ---
    I'm sure you do.
[07:14] ---
    You have to be the responsible one.
[07:16] ---
    After all, everyone relies on you.
[07:19] ---
    I have a hard time believing that.
[07:24] ---
    What is it?
[07:24] ---
    It's Zeon. It looks like an
    atmospheric entry capsule,
[07:28] ---
    but it seems too big for that.
[07:29] ---
    I'll be right there.
[07:50] ---
    What has been done about Char?
[07:53] ---
    He probably went back home.
[07:55] ---
    Right, Dozle?
[07:57] ---
    Is that so.
[08:06] ---
    Yes, my lady. Right away.
[08:18] ---
    Block number 6 is hit!
[08:20] ---
    Can't we shake them off?
[08:21] ---
    Impossible!
[08:22] ---
    They're using speed from the entry,
    and our engines are...
[08:26] ---
    Let's head into those clouds, starboard side.
[08:29] ---
    We'll be going into a thunder storm.
    Are you sure...?
[08:32] ---
    Yes. The beam cannons' power
    will be halved, but...
[08:35] ---
    We have no choice.
[08:36] ---
    Roger, sir.
[08:50] ---
    Wh-What was that?!
[08:52] ---
    Maybe it's a new Zeon weapon!
[08:56] ---
    Don't worry. No matter what new weapon attacks,
    the Gundam will protect us.
[09:24] ---
    Lieutenant!
    The Federation's got a new weapon!
[09:27] ---
    Don't panic!
    This is what's known on Earth as lightning.
[09:30] ---
    Darling...
[09:31] ---
    I've seen this before, on Earth.
    It's all right, Hamon.
[09:36] ---
    Although it does look frightening
    up close like this.
[09:40] ---
    Yes. But now that we know
    this is what they call lightning,
[09:43] ---
    let us continue pursuing the Trojan Horse.
[09:50] ---
    Port-side main engine losing power!
[09:52] ---
    That earlier hit is affecting it!
[09:54] ---
    Not good... especially at a time like this.
[09:56] ---
    How's the E.C.M.?
[09:58] ---
    It's transmitting at maximum output.
[10:00] ---
    Mirai. We're going to have to land
    somewhere and wait this out.
[10:04] ---
    Right now, we're just
    wasting Minovsky particles.
[10:06] ---
    Can you do it?
[10:07] ---
    I'll try.
[10:08] ---
    Forward infrared observation monitor open.
[10:11] ---
    Begin laser sensor terrain scan!
[10:17] ---
    There!
[10:18] ---
    Confirm direction and approach angle!
    Can you do it, Mirai?
[10:22] ---
    Y-Yes.
[10:43] ---
    The White Base is at zero speed.
[10:45] ---
    All right. Well done, Mirai.
[10:48] ---
    Gundam! Guncannon! Guntank!
[10:50] ---
    Prepare for sortie!
    Open anti-aircraft fire!
[10:53] ---
    A-Amuro!
[10:55] ---
    I didn't want to believe
    it, but are you still...?
[10:57] ---
    Hey! Amuro!
[11:09] ---
    Amuro! Amuro!
[11:11] ---
    Get it together! We have a sortie!
[11:12] ---
    Mr. Ryu...
[11:14] ---
    Zoning out in your room won't do any good!
[11:17] ---
    Mr. Ryu...
[11:18] ---
    Come on! Get up! Up!
[11:21] ---
    I understand. You don't have to hit me.
[11:24] ---
    The Trojan Horse has completely vanished.
[11:26] ---
    They've slipped out of the laser search net.
[11:29] ---
    They can't have escaped from this storm.
[11:32] ---
    Keep searching for as long as
    we can stay in the air.
[11:34] ---
    Yes sir!
    Releasing 180 degree infrared camera.
[11:38] ---
    No response on sonar sensor.
[11:40] ---
    There are a lot of islands in this area.
[11:42] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:42] ---
    How inconvenient. Yes, sir.
[11:43] ---
    How inconvenient.
[11:44] ---
    If we could use the radar,
    we'd find them right away.
[11:52] ---
    Please don't. I can do it myself.
[11:54] ---
    You're sure?
[11:55] ---
    Yes.
[12:07] ---
    I'm not sure he's up to it.
[12:11] ---
    This helmet feels strange.
    It's suffocating me.
[12:31] ---
    Just keep going past us...
[12:37] ---
    There's no mistake?
[12:38] ---
    Yes. The magnetic response is too strong.
[12:41] ---
    Send out an FW flare.
[12:45] ---
    Lieutenant Ramba Ral,
    we've just sighted a flare.
[12:48] ---
    To the rear, at 7 o'clock.
[12:50] ---
    You're sure it's not lightning?
[12:52] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:53] ---
    All right! Hard turn!
[12:59] ---
    Enemy approaching!
[13:00] ---
    Open main cannons!
[13:01] ---
    Gundam, Guncannon! Prepare for launch!
[13:03] ---
    Fire even if you can't see anything!
    Launch missiles, too!
[13:17] ---
    So, that's the famous Trojan Horse.
[13:20] ---
    Get all the data you can.
[13:21] ---
    Fire!
[13:32] ---
    Rather than watching you sit around
    like a commander,
[13:35] ---
    I much prefer seeing you like this,
    going into battle.
[13:41] ---
    I feel the same way.
    I think this suits me better.
[13:44] ---
    See you. Don't let the soldiers interfere.
[13:47] ---
    All right.
[13:47] ---
    Acous! Cozun! Are you ready?
[13:50] ---
    Yes, Lieutenant!
[13:50] ---
    Preparation status OK!
[13:58] ---
    Acous, Cozun, this is our first
    time fighting on Earth.
[14:02] ---
    Even if the enemy mobile suit appears,
[14:04] ---
    don't pursue it too far.
[14:05] ---
    Roger!
[14:06] ---
    Hamon, I'm off!
[14:08] ---
    I wish you victory.
[14:10] ---
    Don't fret, Hamon.
[14:28] ---
    I'm terribly sorry,
[14:29] ---
    but we cannot remain airborne
    at this place any longer.
[14:34] ---
    Thank you for your assistance.
    Go ahead to base. We'll follow soon.
[14:37] ---
    Roger. We wish you success.
[14:41] ---
    What does this mean, Bright?
[14:44] ---
    The Komusais are leaving.
[14:46] ---
    Probably low on fuel.
[14:47] ---
    We have a better chance at winning now.
[14:49] ---
    Gundam, Guncannon, why aren't you launching?
[14:52] ---
    The Zakus are on the ground!
[14:53] ---
    Well, to tell the truth,
    Amuro's got that rookie syndrome!
[14:58] ---
    What?!
[14:59] ---
    Make Amuro sortie as well!
[15:01] ---
    It's the only thing that will stop the Zakus.
[15:03] ---
    Sink or swim, huh?
[15:05] ---
    Amuro! We have a sortie!
[15:07] ---
    Amuro! Let's go! We're launching!
[15:12] ---
    Amuro! We're about to launch! Okay?!
[15:20] ---
    Amuro, do you read?
    The catapult connection is complete.
[15:23] ---
    You are launching.
[15:24] ---
    Huh? Oh, yeah, Ms. Sayla.
[15:26] ---
    I can't hear you!
[15:28] ---
    It's okay. I'm launching, right?
[15:31] ---
    Never mind, Sayla!
    Just launch the Gundam!
[15:34] ---
    Roger!
[15:35] ---
    Pull it together, Amuro!
[15:53] ---
    What was that?!
[15:59] ---
    Is that a Zaku? No, it can't be...!
[16:06] ---
    Z-Zaku...
[16:08] ---
    No... It's a new mobile suit!
[16:19] ---
    A new Zeon mobile suit?!
[16:22] ---
    Ryu! Kai! Give Amuro some backup!
[16:24] ---
    White Base turrets, give him fire cover!
[16:29] ---
    All right! Here I go!
[16:31] ---
    Stop all fire!
[16:36] ---
    Damn!
[16:44] ---
    Acous! Throw the cracker!
[16:49] ---
    What's that?
[16:55] ---
    Why you...!
[17:03] ---
    Well, this is something.
    But can it withstand the heat rod?
[17:25] ---
    Impressive!
[17:26] ---
    That mobile suit's pilot is pretty good.
[17:28] ---
    I'm surprised he wasn't blown
    apart by his own bazooka.
[17:31] ---
    Lieutenant Ral, on your right!
[17:33] ---
    What?!
[17:37] ---
    There's another one coming out.
[17:39] ---
    That thing's a mobile suit too?!
[17:44] ---
    Hurry up, Hayato!
[17:46] ---
    Give him covering fire!
[17:48] ---
    I'm worried about Amuro.
[17:54] ---
    Acous, Cozun, you handle
    the two mobile suits in back.
[17:57] ---
    I'll go after the white one.
[18:02] ---
    I'll get you! I'll finish you!
[18:04] ---
    I don't care if you're a new mobile suit!
[18:07] ---
    Amuro! Don't get too close to him!
    His weapon...!
[18:25] ---
    Not bad!
[18:37] ---
    This is no Zaku, my friend! No Zaku!
[18:46] ---
    This one's different!
    It's got more armor and power than a Zaku.
[18:50] ---
    Get up, Amuro!
[18:58] ---
    Acous, Cozun, retreat!
[19:00] ---
    We're heading back!
[19:01] ---
    Roger, sir!
[19:23] ---
    They're on board! Engage lock, quickly!
[19:25] ---
    Message to the bridge.
    Prepare the blinding flood lights.
[19:29] ---
    We're leaving the battlefield.
[19:35] ---
    Wha...! What's that?!
[19:56] ---
    They ran away...
[19:58] ---
    Or rather, they spared us.
[20:03] ---
    We have lost a hero!
    But does this mean our defeat?!
[20:09] ---
    No! It is a new beginning!
[20:12] ---
    Zeon's national strength is less than
    1/30th that of the Earth Federation.
[20:17] ---
    In spite of that, how is it that we've
    been able to fight for so long?
[20:20] ---
    My people!
[20:21] ---
    It is because the Principality of
    Zeon's aims in this war are just!
[20:25] ---
    The damn Zeons are broadcasting this
    live all over the world, just to annoy us.
[20:30] ---
    You should watch too, Amuro.
[20:31] ---
    Yes, sir.
[20:33] ---
    It has been over fifty years
    since a handful of elites...
[20:35] ---
    ...took control of the Earth Federation,
    which had extended its reach into space.
[20:39] ---
    We, who live in space,
    asked for our freedom!
[20:42] ---
    Remember how many times the
    Federation trampled us underfoot!
[20:46] ---
    The Principality of Zeon is fighting
    for the freedom of all of humanity...
[20:50] ---
    ...and God will not turn his back on us!
[20:52] ---
    My younger brother,
[20:54] ---
    the Garma Zabi that you all loved, is dead!
[20:57] ---
    Why?!
[20:58] ---
    Because he was a spoiled kid.
[21:00] ---
    The fighting has died down somewhat.
[21:02] ---
    Perhaps many of you see this war
    as someone else's problem!
[21:06] ---
    Bartender!
[21:07] ---
    But that is a mistake! The Federation...
[21:08] ---
    That one's on me. If you don't mind?
    But that is a mistake! The Federation...
[21:11] ---
    You're with the Royal Guard.
    ...has polluted the Earth out of greed...
[21:13] ---
    ...has polluted the Earth out of greed...
[21:13] ---
    Can you tell?
    ...has polluted the Earth out of greed...
[21:14] ---
    It's the smell. You're one of Kycilia's.
    ...has polluted the Earth out of greed...
[21:16] ---
    It's the smell. You're one of Kycilia's.
    We must expose the foolishness...
[21:18] ---
    We must expose the foolishness...
[21:18] ---
    ...of the Earth Federation elites...
[21:19] ---
    You're as good as they say, Lt. Commander.
    ...of the Earth Federation elites...
[21:21] ---
    Garma died in order to wake you
    out of your wishful thinking.
[21:27] ---
    This is only the beginning of our war.
[21:28] ---
    Amuro, are you all right?
    This is only the beginning of our war.
[21:29] ---
    Amuro, are you all right?
    We are building up our military.
[21:30] ---
    Sorry to worry you. I'm all right.
    We are building up our military.
[21:32] ---
    Sorry to worry you. I'm all right.
[21:32] ---
    Sorry to worry you. I'm all right.
    The Earth Federation will do the same.
[21:33] ---
    Do your best.
    The Earth Federation will do the same.
[21:35] ---
    Thanks.
    The Earth Federation will do the same.
[21:35] ---
    Many of your fathers and brothers...
[21:38] ---
    ...died due to the Federation's
    ill-judged resistance!
[21:41] ---
    We must never forget this anger and sorrow!
[21:44] ---
    Garma has shown us this
    through his own death!
[21:50] ---
    By focusing our collective anger
    right at this moment...
[21:54] ---
    ...and bringing it down upon the Federation,
    we will finally grasp true victory!
[21:58] ---
    Victory is the greatest tribute that we
    can pay to those who have fallen!
[22:02] ---
    Rise, my people!
[22:04] ---
    Take your sorrow and turn it into anger!
    Rise, my people!
[22:08] ---
    Zeon thirsts for your strength!
[22:11] ---
    Sieg Zeon!
[22:14] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:16] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:19] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:21] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:24] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:26] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:28] ---
    This is our enemy?!
[22:30] ---
    What a bunch of nonsense!
[22:33] ---
    This from a man who's seeking
    a Zabi family dictatorship!
[22:39] ---
    Dictatorship...
[22:42] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:44] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:47] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:49] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:51] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:54] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:56] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[22:58] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[23:01] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[23:03] ---
    Sieg Zeon!!
[23:17] ---
