    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!
[01:33] ---
    The Federation sent a Medea squadron
    to rescue the heavily damaged White Base,
[01:38] ---
    but the squadron was attacked
    by Goufs and Dodai bombers.
[01:47] ---
    Amuro and the others hurried to assist.
[01:49] ---
    With the help of the G-Parts
    designed to power-up the Gundam...
[01:52] ---
    ...they succeeded in defeating the enemy.
[02:06] ---
    Black Tri-Star
[02:10] ---
    Black Tri-Star.
[02:14] ---
    This is a poor joke.
    This plan is absolutely ridiculous!
[02:18] ---
    Have you forgotten how many precious
    resources M'Quve...
[02:20] ---
    ...has sent us from under
    the Earth Federation's siege?
[02:23] ---
    Have you forgotten this?!
[02:25] ---
    Also, the practical application
    of mobile armor...
[02:27] ---
    Excuse me. But the authority
    of the military would be ruined.
[02:33] ---
    A man's honor?! Military authority?!
[02:36] ---
    These things can be sacrificed
    for Zeon victory!
[02:39] ---
    We'll save your honor once we win this war.
[02:42] ---
    Deliver the mobile suits for close
    combat on Earth to Commander Char.
[02:47] ---
    But, Your Highness, we
    can't do it right away.
[02:49] ---
    Of course not!
    But, Your Highness, we can't do it right away.
[02:49] ---
    Of course not!
[02:51] ---
    Just get them to Char before
    he joins the Mad Angler squadron.
[02:54] ---
    Also, I'm sure there are heavy
    mobile suits allocated to other units...
[02:58] ---
    ...that can be used for combat on Earth.
[03:01] ---
    We should consider
    sending those over too.
[03:03] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:04] ---
    Have you sent Doms to the Tri-Stars?
[03:07] ---
    Yes. They should have already left
    satellite orbit to rendezvous with M'Quve.
[03:13] ---
    Good. Keep an eye on the situation
    and respond accordingly.
[03:18] ---
    As the occupier of the Moon,
[03:20] ---
    Kycilia could not join
    the battle on Earth in person.
[03:25] ---
    The fighting was unsettled on all fronts.
[03:28] ---
    The best she could do
    was to assist M'Quve,
[03:33] ---
    by sending her own brave warriors
    known as "Zeon's Tri-Stars".
[03:57] ---
    Good morning.
[03:58] ---
    Huh? G-Good morning, Lt. Matilda!
[04:01] ---
    What are these?
[04:02] ---
    Components for the Gundam's power-up parts.
[04:05] ---
    I'll have to do the repairs myself,
    so I was organizing them.
[04:09] ---
    That's impressive.
[04:11] ---
    Where are you going?
[04:12] ---
    Up to the bridge.
[04:13] ---
    I'll show you the way.
[04:14] ---
    No, that's fine.
[04:15] ---
    I'm pretty resourceful! I know a shortcut.
[04:19] ---
    All right.
[04:31] ---
    Oh. Good morning!
[04:33] ---
    Good morning.
[04:34] ---
    Amuro!
[04:36] ---
    What's the big idea?!
[04:37] ---
    You promised me,
[04:38] ---
    you'd fix the air conditioner in
    my room once you finished breakfast.
[04:41] ---
    Oh really?
[04:43] ---
    Hmph!
[04:44] ---
    Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!
[04:46] ---
    Quit it!
[04:48] ---
    That Ms. Matilda. She's just my type.
[04:51] ---
    She's elegant. And she's so nice, too.
[04:53] ---
    I'd be a happy man
    if I had a girlfriend like Ms. Matilda.
[04:57] ---
    Idle hands make mischief.
[04:59] ---
    Huh?
[05:01] ---
    Ah! Good morning! L-Lieutenant!
[05:04] ---
    Good luck finding an elegant girlfriend.
[05:06] ---
    L-Lieutenant!
    Now that I've made a total fool of myself...
[05:09] ---
    ...I'd like to ask for permission to
    take a picture of you and myself!
[05:14] ---
    No problem, as long as we do it now.
[05:16] ---
    Yes! I'm honored!
[05:21] ---
    Would you guys give me a break?!
    This only gives me 12 copies per photo!
[05:24] ---
    C'mon, Kai!
[05:25] ---
    Let me in, too!
[05:27] ---
    Okay, I'm taking the picture!
[05:28] ---
    There!
[05:39] ---
    Mr. Bright. I've brought Lt. Matilda to you.
[05:41] ---
    Thank you.
[05:42] ---
    No. Please don't get up.
[05:44] ---
    I'm terribly sorry, Lieutenant.
[05:46] ---
    You look better than I thought you would.
[05:47] ---
    Excuse me.
[05:53] ---
    All right!
[06:07] ---
    Our forces are progressing too slowly,
[06:10] ---
    especially since I want to move
    up Operation Odessa.
[06:12] ---
    Elran. Tell them to hurry and rendezvous.
[06:15] ---
    Yes, sir! However...
[06:16] ---
    "However"? In the military,
    there is only action. Isn't that right?
[06:19] ---
    Sir!
[06:20] ---
    General Revil.
[06:21] ---
    An Air Force patrol team has sent us
    a report they caught.
[06:26] ---
    A Zeon Zanzibar warship
    has come down to Earth?
[06:30] ---
    Our Big Tray has already
    confirmed that information.
[06:33] ---
    No. Look at what it says after that.
[06:35] ---
    The Black Tri-Stars were dispatched
    with their new mobile suits.
[06:39] ---
    They're the ones who captured me
    in the Battle of Loum.
[06:43] ---
    They're very tough.
[06:46] ---
    We've got to begin Odessa Day
    earlier than we had anticipated. Right, Elran?
[06:50] ---
    What?! Yes, I'll inform
    all units at once!
[06:54] ---
    You're looking a bit pale.
[06:56] ---
    Judock.
    You'd better not be spying for both sides.
[07:00] ---
    Revil is quite aware that the Black
    Tri-Stars have landed in a Zanzibar.
[07:04] ---
    B-But that just can't be.
[07:06] ---
    Tell M'Quve that Operation Odessa
    will be commencing soon.
[07:13] ---
    Will we be able to finish
    ahead of schedule, Colonel?
[07:16] ---
    Yes, that's no problem.
[07:17] ---
    Amuro. The Gundam's power-up parts.
[07:20] ---
    Right!
[07:22] ---
    Ms. Matilda.
[07:23] ---
    Yes?
[07:24] ---
    Why did you join the Supply Corps?
[07:26] ---
    Let's see...
[07:28] ---
    Amid all the destruction of war...
[07:29] ---
    ...it enables me to create things.
[07:34] ---
    Create things?
[07:39] ---
    While wars only bring destruction,
[07:41] ---
    I felt that human beings
    need more than that to go on living.
[07:47] ---
    And we're clean now.
[07:55] ---
    Ms. Matilda.
[07:58] ---
    I believe...
[07:59] ---
    I believe that you're a strong
    person, Ms. Matilda.
[08:06] ---
    How cheeky.
[08:09] ---
    I-I'm so sorry.
[08:10] ---
    It's okay.
[08:20] ---
    Yeah! Leave them to us!
[08:22] ---
    We're a whole different class than Char.
[08:25] ---
    Now, show us the Trojan Horse
    and this so-called white mobile suit.
[08:29] ---
    Well, whatever...
[08:30] ---
    Ortega, Mash! Let's go!
[08:32] ---
    Yeah!
[08:43] ---
    We're getting close.
[08:56] ---
    No metallic reaction detected...
    We're jumping to the next mountain!
[09:14] ---
    What is it?!
[09:15] ---
    Enemy spotted.
[09:16] ---
    3 mobile suits approaching from 2 o'clock.
[09:19] ---
    Prepare to intercept. Mirai, take charge.
[09:22] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:23] ---
    It's the enemy!
[09:24] ---
    The enemy's coming!
[09:26] ---
    All right! All clear!
[09:27] ---
    Move Medea No. 3 out of
    the White Base's path!
[09:32] ---
    I'm glad the controls are up here now.
[09:34] ---
    But can I really operate this by myself?
[09:37] ---
    Hey, Hayato! Are you all right there?
[09:39] ---
    If you can work yours by yourself,
    Mr. Kai, then I'll be fine too.
[09:48] ---
    They're past our second surveillance net.
    They're moving quickly.
[09:52] ---
    Is the Gundam ready to go yet?
[09:53] ---
    That's the problem...
    They're still checking the G-Armor.
[09:56] ---
    I was just told they need me down there!
[09:58] ---
    By whom?!
[10:00] ---
    Engineering Colonel Seki.
    He wants me to operate the G-Fighter.
[10:03] ---
    What?! Can't Job John do it?
    He's a pilot too.
[10:07] ---
    I have experience with mobile suits.
[10:09] ---
    I see, Let's have Fraw Bow
    take over your position for now.
[10:12] ---
    Ms. Mirai!
[10:13] ---
    The engine's just been overhauled.
    Don't forget to do a trial run.
[10:17] ---
    Understood!
[10:18] ---
    Okay, Fraw Bow. Please take over.
[10:20] ---
    I'm off.
[10:25] ---
    The computer takes care of the connection,
    so the pilot doesn't have to worry about it.
[10:29] ---
    But what if the computer gets damaged?
[10:31] ---
    If the laser sensors are synchronized,
    it's possible to dock manually.
[10:35] ---
    But you'll stall if your speed
    is under 600 km/h.
[10:38] ---
    Where's the G-Fighter pilot?
[10:40] ---
    She's here!
[10:41] ---
    Hurry!
[10:42] ---
    Ah, yes!
[10:48] ---
    This isn't the G-Fighter.
[10:50] ---
    I believe it's the G-Armor.
[10:53] ---
    Can I handle this one?
[10:54] ---
    For someone who's piloted the Gundam,
[10:56] ---
    it'll be a piece of cake.
[10:58] ---
    Just rely on the machinery.
[11:00] ---
    I'll be watching you from the bridge.
[11:02] ---
    Yes, ma'am. See ya later.
[11:07] ---
    Ms. Sayla! Ready?
[11:09] ---
    I'm still not finished checking. Hold on.
[11:14] ---
    These guys are fast!
[11:22] ---
    The engine output won't increase.
    Even if we manage to take off...
[11:25] ---
    Should we have a specialist check it out?
[11:27] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[11:27] ---
    Fraw Bow! Please ask Lieutenant
    Matilda and Colonel Seki to come here!
[11:32] ---
    What's wrong, White Base?
    Why haven't you taken off?
[11:35] ---
    The main engine output won't increase.
[11:37] ---
    What? Colonel!
[11:39] ---
    Fraw Bow! How are Amuro and Sayla
    doing with the G-Armor?!
[11:42] ---
    It looks like Sayla's having trouble with it.
[11:44] ---
    She can't figure out
    the docking process with Gundam!
[11:48] ---
    No time. Tell her to leave it to
    Amuro, and just take off...
[11:50] ---
    Ah...
[11:51] ---
    It's fine. Please allow
    the G-Armor to take off.
[11:54] ---
    Yes... G-Armor. Amuro and Sayla, launch.
[11:57] ---
    Right! Amuro, Ms. Sayla, please take off!
[12:00] ---
    These are for docking...
    First, then second...
[12:03] ---
    Ms. Sayla! We're going!
[12:04] ---
    Okay! Go ahead!
[12:06] ---
    Engines at max! Align takeoff axis!
    Ready?!
[12:09] ---
    Okay!
[12:30] ---
    To my left?!
[12:35] ---
    Gotcha!
[12:42] ---
    Incoming!
[13:07] ---
    Ms. Sayla! Left!
[13:08] ---
    What?
[13:14] ---
    Ms. Sayla!
[13:15] ---
    In G-Armor mode, your cockpit
    has better control of the aircraft!
[13:19] ---
    You can do it!
    Is the infrared monitor ready?
[13:21] ---
    I'll be firing the G-Armor's main cannons!
[13:24] ---
    Where's the enemy?
[13:26] ---
    They're behind us! Turn us around!
[13:28] ---
    Roger!
[13:29] ---
    You've gotta pull it harder!
[13:32] ---
    Step on the pedal with all your might!
[13:41] ---
    Too late.
[13:44] ---
    This is tricky.
    It's bigger, so it's much harder to turn...
[13:48] ---
    But the G-Armor's beam cannon power
    lasts three times longer...
[13:50] ---
    ...than the Gundam's. We've got to...
[13:53] ---
    Rotate left, 90 degrees!
[13:55] ---
    I'm aiming the beam cannons.
[13:57] ---
    R-Roger!
[13:58] ---
    Proceed at a 40 degree angle!
[14:04] ---
    Okay. Take this!
[14:08] ---
    I'll swat you, you pesky fly!
[14:15] ---
    I've never seen that one before.
[14:18] ---
    It's not in the Trojan Horse's data, either.
[14:24] ---
    It's a fighter-bomber,
    but I've never seen that silhouette before.
[14:31] ---
    Firing rear missiles,
    angle minus 4 degrees!
[14:36] ---
    N-Not bad, you mysterious fighter!
[14:39] ---
    There's no problem with
    the synchro-motor in itself? That's odd.
[14:43] ---
    No problem here either.
[14:45] ---
    Check it again.
[14:46] ---
    The G-Armor's having trouble in combat.
[14:48] ---
    Both Guncannon and Guntank
    are being forced back!
[14:50] ---
    Lieutenant Matilda!
[14:51] ---
    It'll be fine. We can count on Colonel Seki.
[14:54] ---
    Fraw Bow.
[14:56] ---
    Please have my Medea ready
    for takeoff at any time.
[14:59] ---
    Ma'am!
[15:01] ---
    We may be just a bit too late.
[15:03] ---
    And what makes you think that?
[15:05] ---
    No particular reason. I somehow feel it.
[15:10] ---
    What is it?
[15:12] ---
    Nothing, ma'am.
[15:18] ---
    You seem to be a chronic worrier.
[15:21] ---
    I suppose I am.
    People do tell me that.
[15:25] ---
    Amuro. Sayla. Kai. Hayato.
    Hang in there!
[15:32] ---
    There it is!
[15:38] ---
    I'm such a useless klutz!
[15:40] ---
    I can't even slow the enemy down.
[15:44] ---
    He's tough!
[15:55] ---
    Ms. Sayla!
[15:56] ---
    I'm okay! Where are they?!
[15:57] ---
    They've advanced pretty far now.
    Please hide us behind the mountain!
[16:01] ---
    You're converting to the Gundam?
[16:02] ---
    Yes!
[16:03] ---
    Will I be able to dock the parts?
[16:05] ---
    I know you can, Ms. Sayla.
[16:08] ---
    That's what you've always
    said to me, Ms. Sayla.
[16:12] ---
    So you're returning the favor?
    Then I'll give it a try, Amuro.
[16:16] ---
    Pattern G automatic set.
[16:18] ---
    If there's any problem, I will...
    No, it'll be just fine! We'll do it!
[16:29] ---
    4... 3... 2...
[16:31] ---
    1... 0.
[16:42] ---
    Is everything okay, Ms. Sayla?
[16:46] ---
    Yes, the computer did it all for me.
[16:48] ---
    Now, Amuro! Hurry back to the White Base!
[16:51] ---
    Roger!
[16:54] ---
    What? There's a Medea!
[17:01] ---
    It's not Ms. Matilda's Medea, is it?
[17:04] ---
    The pressure has increased
    in No. 2 and No. 3.
[17:06] ---
    The rest are no good. In fact,
    the pressure seems to be decreasing.
[17:08] ---
    We figured out the problem!
    Just give us three minutes!
[17:12] ---
    Please finish it in two minutes!
[17:19] ---
    Fire main cannons!
    Fire front missiles horizontally!
[17:23] ---
    Mobile suits?
[17:26] ---
    Found you! I'm putting an end to this!
[17:37] ---
    He dodged my shot!
[17:43] ---
    The vulcans have no effect?!
[17:47] ---
    Oh no! They've reached the White Base!
[17:53] ---
    This Federation mobile suit!
    It's not as great as they say!
[18:05] ---
    We're this close to making
    the White Base survive this.
[18:08] ---
    I can't sit around and watch it be destroyed.
[18:12] ---
    Take off!
[18:13] ---
    Huh? Take off!
[18:13] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:20] ---
    Oh no! That mobile suit is planning
    to destroy the White Base first!
[18:25] ---
    That pilot is no regular guy.
[18:28] ---
    Ortega! Mash!
[18:30] ---
    We're gonna pull a Jet Stream Attack
    on that mobile suit!
[18:38] ---
    He's quicker than I thought. Ready?
[18:40] ---
    Yeah!
[18:43] ---
    Is he... coming at me?!
[19:04] ---
    It's working! Let's do the Jet
    Stream Attack one more time!
[19:11] ---
    Hm? A Medea? But who's on board?
[19:15] ---
    They're coming...!
[19:20] ---
    Oh no!
[19:28] ---
    He used me as a springboard?!
[19:39] ---
    Drive that Dom into the ground!
[19:44] ---
    Why you...! We almost had that mobile suit!
[20:21] ---
    I-I couldn't do anything to help!
[20:27] ---
    Mash's Dom... destroyed...
[20:30] ---
    That mobile suit slipped
    past our Jet Stream Attack...
[20:33] ---
    Unbelievable!
[20:34] ---
    No weapons left.
    We need to rethink our tactics, too.
[20:55] ---
    We've got good news.
[20:57] ---
    The White Base repulsed
    Zeon's Black Tri-Stars.
[21:00] ---
    It's back on the front lines.
[21:02] ---
    I-Is that so? Congratulations.
[21:05] ---
    Well, how about that White Base.
    It's proven to be the real thing.
[21:11] ---
    That crew... How dare they?!
[21:14] ---
    Where do they get their strength from?!
[21:16] ---
    Elran.
[21:18] ---
    Sir?
[21:19] ---
    Operation Odessa,
    the attack on M'Quve's base.
[21:22] ---
    It begins at 0600 hours today.
[21:34] ---
    To express our sorrow...
[21:36] ---
    ...for the fallen members of
    Matilda's Medea transport squadron.
[21:41] ---
    All hands! Salute!
[22:18] ---
    This is all because of my inexperience.
[22:22] ---
    I'm so sorry, Ms. Matilda.
[22:48] ---
    Ms. Matilda...
[22:50] ---
    Ms. Matilda...
[22:52] ---
    Ms. Matilda...
[22:55] ---
    Ms. Matilda...
[22:57] ---
    Ms. Matilda...
[23:00] ---
    Ms. Matilda!!
[23:06] ---
    Ms. Matilda!!
[23:18] ---
    Before Operation Odessa begins...
[23:20] ---
    ...the traitors are discovered and arrested,
    leading the Earth Federation to victory.
