[00:15] ---
    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!
[01:40] ---
    Operation Odessa ended in
    victory for the Earth Federation.
[01:45] ---
    As a result, the Zeon forces
    were driven back from Europe,
[01:49] ---
    and now the war was
    proceeding in a new direction.
[01:52] ---
    Char Returns
[01:57] ---
    Char Returns.
[02:03] ---
    Ready, Gunperry?
    Docking searcher, 5, 4, 3...
[02:07] ---
    Go ahead with the B Parts.
[02:11] ---
    Core change! Docking, go!
[02:26] ---
    Amuro! What do you think you're doing?
[02:29] ---
    You still haven't broken
    the 17 second mark in docking!
[02:32] ---
    You're asking the impossible.
[02:34] ---
    The Core Fighter was meant to be
    an escape capsule for the Gundam.
[02:38] ---
    It's quick to get out,
    but not to get back in.
[02:41] ---
    It may be impossible, but Amuro can do it.
[02:46] ---
    The While base is headed for a
    Federation supply base in Northern Ireland...
[02:51] ---
    ...to repair damage incurred in
    the battle at Odessa.
[02:55] ---
    Yes, I finally have a chance to cut
    loose and relax for once.
[02:57] ---
    I wouldn't be so sure.
[02:59] ---
    Why?
[03:00] ---
    Our destination is
    a Federation Forces dock, right?
[03:04] ---
    It means we're officially
    part of the military.
[03:06] ---
    Who knows what we may be
    ordered to do from now on.
[03:10] ---
    Is that right?
[03:12] ---
    That certainly took the fun out of it.
[03:50] ---
    I've never seen that type of warship before.
[04:01] ---
    Unknown warship entering Dock 2.
[04:05] ---
    Type unclear.
[04:33] ---
    Sir. We've been contacted by No. 107.
[04:37] ---
    We'd better inform the captain about this.
[04:58] ---
    We have a report from No. 107,
[04:59] ---
    that a large warship has entered SR4.
[05:03] ---
    This picture is useless.
    There's just too much radio interference.
[05:06] ---
    Show me.
[05:09] ---
    Hm. I can't make it out.
[05:11] ---
    Isn't Boone's team
    stationed in this area?
[05:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:14] ---
    Get the Sealance ready!
[05:15] ---
    As soon as we've checked the
    surface, bring up the Mad Angler.
[05:29] ---
    You could just order
    Boone to deal with it.
[05:31] ---
    No, if it's the Trojan Horse,
    I'd like to see for myself.
[05:35] ---
    Lady Kycilia would laugh,
    but I too have my pride.
[05:38] ---
    Understood, sir.
    The Mad Angler will be waiting right here.
[05:42] ---
    Thanks a lot, Mulligan.
[05:54] ---
    I came across the Trojan Horse right
    after my transfer to the Mad Angler squadron.
[05:58] ---
    I am a fortunate man.
[06:04] ---
    The latest report says the external
    repairs should be done by tomorrow, sir.
[06:09] ---
    Excellent.
[06:10] ---
    I do wish I had the luxury
    of giving the crew a week's rest.
[06:16] ---
    Where are they now?
[06:17] ---
    Sir! We've gathered them for you.
[06:19] ---
    Hey!
[06:20] ---
    Wait up!
[06:21] ---
    You naughty kids! Hey!
[06:24] ---
    Oh! Excuse me!
[06:27] ---
    Salute to General Revil!
[06:30] ---
    Neener neener!
[06:32] ---
    Why, you little...!
[06:34] ---
    Salute!
[06:37] ---
    Good job. Please be seated.
[06:40] ---
    All crew, at ease!
[06:48] ---
    I don't know how I can thank you all
    for your efforts since you left Side 7.
[06:53] ---
    Excuse us, sir.
[06:56] ---
    After receiving temporary repairs here,
[06:59] ---
    you'll go to Federation
    headquarters at Jaburo, in South America.
[07:02] ---
    Uh, sir?
[07:04] ---
    Hm? What is it?
[07:06] ---
    Yes. What about people who aren't
    interested in joining the military?
[07:09] ---
    You are all very capable soldiers, but...
[07:12] ---
    If you decide to leave the military now,
    we'd have to imprison you for at least a year.
[07:17] ---
    You... You can't!
[07:19] ---
    You're forcing people who don't want to...
[07:21] ---
    You have all been exposed to
    the military's greatest secrets.
[07:25] ---
    Normally, we'd be required
    to imprison you for life.
[07:30] ---
    A soldier, huh...?
[07:32] ---
    Moving on to a more important subject.
[07:36] ---
    The Zeon forces have recently
    become quite active.
[07:39] ---
    Spurred on by the appearance
    of the Gundam,
[07:42] ---
    they're devoting all their resources to
    the mass production of mobile suits.
[07:45] ---
    Show us.
[07:46] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:48] ---
    This is still unconfirmed
    intelligence, but...
[07:51] ---
    First, the Zeons have learned
    from our use of the Gundam.
[07:54] ---
    There's no need for quantity
    if the mobile suits are powerful enough.
[07:57] ---
    They seem to feel that one or two
    will be enough to obtain the desired results.
[08:00] ---
    G-General! Those diagrams on the monitor!
[08:03] ---
    Are they all different
    types of mobile suits?!
[08:06] ---
    I believe so. Furthermore, Zeon is testing
    a new design they call "mobile armor."
[08:13] ---
    Mobile... armor?
[08:15] ---
    This one Gundam has primed the pump.
[08:17] ---
    Primed the pump?
[08:20] ---
    The enemy's attacks will become
    even fiercer. In any case...
[08:23] ---
    I'll inform you of any new intelligence.
[08:25] ---
    Make sure you consider
    your countermeasures.
[08:32] ---
    No. 2! Once you've released your Goggs,
    make a detour to enter from the north!
[08:36] ---
    Why don't you sink the Trojan Horse
    before Captain Char arrives!
[08:39] ---
    Goggs, ready for launch!
[08:55] ---
    The Goggs should reach the Trojan
    Horse in about eight minutes.
[08:59] ---
    We'll cover the landing of the Goggs by firing
    missiles 30 seconds before they arrive.
[09:07] ---
    All right, go ahead.
[09:09] ---
    Man. What a hassle!
[09:11] ---
    Mr. Soldier! Won't you buy something?
[09:13] ---
    Huh?
[09:17] ---
    There's nothing in there worth buying.
[09:19] ---
    It's all locally made. And, delicious too.
[09:22] ---
    You're pretty cute!
    Though, it looks like you have a tough life.
[09:25] ---
    Then buy something.
[09:26] ---
    Maybe later.
[09:27] ---
    Cheapskate!
[09:29] ---
    Hey, buy something?
[09:30] ---
    Ah, no.
[09:32] ---
    That old man is very nice, isn't he?
[09:34] ---
    You don't wanna join, Fraw Bow?
[09:36] ---
    It's not that...
[09:37] ---
    Good job, soldier!
[09:40] ---
    If we join the military...
[09:42] ---
    Who'll take care of the children?
[09:45] ---
    They're all used to the White Base.
[09:48] ---
    You have a point there.
[09:49] ---
    Come on, kids!
[09:50] ---
    It's not safe for you
    here on the dock!
[09:53] ---
    Go play over there!
[09:55] ---
    We gotta clean all the White Base's
    toilets and change the bed covers!
[09:58] ---
    We got tons of things to do!
[10:00] ---
    Ungrateful brats!
[10:01] ---
    It would be cruel to separate them.
[10:10] ---
    Okay, Marshy! We're on schedule to
    reach the harbor housing the Trojan Horse!
[10:14] ---
    Right!
[10:15] ---
    What's this?
[10:17] ---
    They're awfully small. Could they be...?!
[10:23] ---
    No! Just as I feared!
[10:25] ---
    Hats off to the Gogg. Not even a scratch.
[10:27] ---
    Releasing Freeze Gel!
[10:40] ---
    We've lost response from Area 22.
[10:42] ---
    Please go to alert status.
[10:46] ---
    Our approach looks problem-free.
[10:47] ---
    Captain Boone!
    I'm counting on your attack to cover us!
[10:53] ---
    It's time... Fire missiles!
[11:02] ---
    Missiles detected!
[11:03] ---
    From Area 22?!
[11:04] ---
    No, from 54!
[11:16] ---
    What should we do?!
[11:18] ---
    Well...
[11:21] ---
    Which of the mobile suits
    are ready to sortie?
[11:24] ---
    Only the Gundam, sir.
[11:25] ---
    Why not Guntank or Guncannon?!
[11:28] ---
    Guncannon's getting an overhaul.
    The whole thing's sitting in pieces.
[11:31] ---
    Amuro says he'll launch in the Gundam!
[11:33] ---
    Okay.
[11:34] ---
    But I heard he can't use the beam rifle.
    Please check with the mechanics.
[11:38] ---
    Right!
[11:39] ---
    Amuro, you may proceed.
    Just don't damage the dock.
[11:42] ---
    Hey, come on. Fraw Bow.
[11:44] ---
    You're beginning to talk like Ms. Sayla.
[11:47] ---
    Oh. Really? I'm sorry.
[12:00] ---
    Great. It's all going according to plan.
[12:08] ---
    Chief Lasa! Marshy here.
    I'm on shore, too!
[12:39] ---
    It looks like mobile suits have landed!
[12:41] ---
    Don't let them near the dock!
    Protect the White Base no matter what!
[12:48] ---
    Do you seriously think those vulcans
    will penetrate Gogg's armor?
[13:03] ---
    Is that also a new type of mobile suit?
[13:05] ---
    It looks different from the Zakus or Goufs.
[13:09] ---
    Wait, if that thing came from the sea,
[13:11] ---
    it might be the Gogg type,
    which was developed to be amphibious.
[13:20] ---
    There you are, mobile suit!
[13:26] ---
    General. It's unsafe out here. The shelter...
[13:29] ---
    No. If it's our time to die,
    it makes no difference where we are.
[13:32] ---
    If the commander of an army is
    content to shout orders from the rear,
[13:36] ---
    he'll lose even a winning battle.
[13:37] ---
    That may be true, sir, but...
[13:41] ---
    Can't we defend against
    attacks from the right?!
[13:44] ---
    Sir! I'll pass that on.
[13:46] ---
    What's happening with our defense
    line from Areas 60 to 65?!
[13:49] ---
    Sir! We've just requested
    the Guntank's assistance!
[13:54] ---
    Nowadays, everything always
    comes down to mobile suits...
[13:57] ---
    My, how times have changed.
[13:59] ---
    The enemy is right in front of us!
    Move G-Bull to Hatch 3 and send it out!
[14:05] ---
    So you're saying I shouldn't be
    in the G-Bull when we send it out?
[14:09] ---
    Not exactly.
    But if you stay here for now,
[14:11] ---
    we can use the Gundam
    and G-Fighter later.
[14:15] ---
    A difficult choice.
[14:17] ---
    Yes. Our tactics rely too much
    on the Gundam.
[14:19] ---
    Okay then. I'll take off in the G-Fighter.
[14:22] ---
    Can't yet. The main engine still
    needs a bit more work done on it.
[14:26] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Hurry up, will you?!
[14:29] ---
    Anyway... move the G-Fighter to Deck 3
    so that it's ready for takeoff.
[14:33] ---
    Right!
[14:34] ---
    Fraw Bow. Tell Hayato to hurry
    and head out in the Guntank!
[14:37] ---
    Yes, sir! Hayato! Hayato!
[14:40] ---
    Guntank, moving out!
[14:43] ---
    Guntank, heading out! Open the gate for me!
[14:52] ---
    Where are those missiles coming from?
[14:53] ---
    White Base! Please provide some info!
[14:59] ---
    That town...!
[15:05] ---
    That's some mobile suit!
[15:07] ---
    The vulcan guns don't seem to affect it!
[15:12] ---
    But... at that speed...!
[15:22] ---
    How dare you, you Gun... thingamajig!
[15:33] ---
    The Gogg won't lose to your horsepower.
[15:35] ---
    I can't believe this guy!
[15:37] ---
    This hammer's been powered up, but...!
[15:42] ---
    Wh-Why you!
[15:53] ---
    Watch it!
[15:54] ---
    Huh? What in the world are you doing
    still wandering around here?
[15:57] ---
    Run away, quick!
[15:59] ---
    So sorry. Bye, Mr. Soldier!
[16:01] ---
    Hey, we're not soldiers either!
[16:03] ---
    Uh, Mr. Kai. You'd better hurry up.
[16:06] ---
    Hey! Amuro! Get a move on!
[16:12] ---
    If only I had the beam rifle,
    I'd take out this mobile suit.
[16:15] ---
    Wait a second... Fraw Bow!
    Can the G-Parts be used yet?!
[16:19] ---
    Let's see. Yes, they can.
[16:21] ---
    Have them get the G-Bull parts ready!
[16:23] ---
    Roger!
[16:29] ---
    Huh? He retreated?! That Amuro!
[16:32] ---
    A mobile suit that scares even the Gundam?
[16:47] ---
    Mr. Omur! Please have the Gundam's
    B Parts ready to launch.
[16:51] ---
    You never know what'll happen in a battle!
[16:53] ---
    I'm aware of that, Amuro!
[16:55] ---
    Hey, Ms. Sayla!
    We're taking off! Ready?
[16:58] ---
    Go ahead, Amuro!
[17:11] ---
    That's one unusually large tank.
[17:21] ---
    Incredible...
[17:22] ---
    This cockpit is so strong,
    it can withstand a direct beam blast.
[17:31] ---
    Go!
[17:46] ---
    M... Marshy!
[17:48] ---
    Damn!
[17:53] ---
    Amuro. The other mobile suit
    just escaped into the sea.
[17:57] ---
    Roger that!
[17:58] ---
    Could you check with White Base?
    Find out if the B Parts are ready.
[18:02] ---
    Looks like you don't need to
    return to the White Base.
[18:04] ---
    Omur and the others are preparing
    for a mid-air transfer.
[18:08] ---
    I'm going to pilot it this time,
    okay Amuro?
[18:11] ---
    All right, all right...
[18:15] ---
    Stop! Okay, continue...
[18:17] ---
    That's right! Slower!
[18:19] ---
    What's wrong with the elevator?
[18:20] ---
    The pressure pipe hasn't been fixed yet!
[18:27] ---
    Preparations to send out
    G-Armor's B Parts are complete.
[18:30] ---
    Open up Central Hatch 3!
[18:32] ---
    We're launching the G-Armor's B Parts.
[18:34] ---
    This is very strange.
[18:35] ---
    When the mobile suit vanished,
    the missile bombardment stopped as well.
[18:39] ---
    I see! The enemy mobile suits emerged from
    the ocean, didn't they? Fraw Bow?
[18:44] ---
    Yes!
[18:46] ---
    Please inform Sayla that she must
    cover the Gundam with the G-Fighter!
[19:02] ---
    Docking searcher synchronized! Good!
[19:09] ---
    Control system is switched over!
    Gundam, separating!
[19:12] ---
    Roger! You need to take extra care
    when pursuing the enemy, Amuro!
[19:16] ---
    Roger!
[19:34] ---
    Look, it's the Gundam!
    It's dangerous to pursue too far...
[19:44] ---
    Wh... Where is he?
[19:46] ---
    Behind me!
[19:48] ---
    You fell for it, Gundam!
[20:17] ---
    One more shot from the beam cannons,
    and you're finished!
[20:25] ---
    The monitor! I can't use it!
[20:30] ---
    I know!
[20:33] ---
    There!
[20:35] ---
    Huh? The monitor's gone out!
[20:56] ---
    Wh... Who won?
[20:58] ---
    Looks like the battle's over.
[21:03] ---
    Amuro! Amuro! Respond!
[21:04] ---
    Gundam! Gundam! Please respond!
[21:07] ---
    Can't you hear the radio?
    Amuro! Please... respond!
[21:12] ---
    Amuro! Amuro!
[21:15] ---
    Looks like the Gundam won.
[21:18] ---
    Huh?
[21:19] ---
    If the enemy had won,
    they'd be attacking again.
[21:22] ---
    Of course... it's also possible
    that they destroyed each other.
[21:26] ---
    I see something moving underwater!
    I'll send you an image of it!
[21:31] ---
    I'm receiving an image from the G-Fighter.
[21:36] ---
    Connection... restored...
[21:39] ---
    Can you hear me, White Base...?
    I'm returning to ship.
[21:45] ---
    Mr. Bright! Amuro's on his way back now!
[21:47] ---
    That's great.
[21:48] ---
    He did it!
[22:15] ---
    It's Captain Char!
    Standby to take in his Sealance!
[22:23] ---
    Wow! That's the Captain for you!
    His skill is amazing!
[22:30] ---
    That's it, all right. The Trojan Horse.
[22:33] ---
    But... both Goggs that sent us
    this video have been destroyed.
[22:36] ---
    That's only to be expected.
[22:38] ---
    That mobile suit isn't a
    cheap mass-produced type.
[22:41] ---
    Still... I am ashamed.
[22:44] ---
    It's quite all right, Boone...
[22:46] ---
    I can't rest until I bring this guy
    down... with my own two hands.
[22:51] ---
    Huh?
[22:53] ---
    Yes, I know it's childish...
[22:57] ---
    But that is the mobile suit
    that injured my pride.
[23:18] ---
    Under Char's command,
[23:20] ---
    fierce attacks on the White Base continue.
[23:23] ---
    Kai Shiden's distaste for the military
    leads him to say good-bye to everyone,
[23:27] ---
    but later, he rejoins the battle.
[23:29] ---
    However... close behind him
    is a young woman.

SIGN    A Spy on Board
[23:38] ---
    Will you be able to survive?
[23:50] ---
    Amuro, do not look back.
[23:55] ---
    The star shining far off in space...
[24:00] ---
    Amuro, it's your homeland
    where you were born.
[24:10] ---
    Do you remember the days
    of your childhood?
[24:15] ---
    The morning when you woke up in warmth?
[24:20] ---
    Amuro, do not look back, Amuro...
[24:25] ---
    A man must hide his tears, hide his tears.
[24:30] ---
    Only look to tomorrow,
    to tomorrow... Forever...
