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!
**[01:32] ---**
The Gaw formation from North
America, with Captain Char as its leader...
**[01:36] ---**
...carried out a surprise attack against the
Earth Federation Headquarters in Jaburo.
**[01:45] ---**
However, with the Gundam
and the efforts of many soldiers,
**[01:49] ---**
the Federation Forces fought back
hard and the enemy was forced to retreat.
**[01:52] ---**
But will the infamous Char
continue withdrawing his forces?
**[01:56] ---**
A Wish of War Orphans
**[02:01] ---**
A Wish of War Orphans.
**[02:25] ---**
Point B 3! Thus far, we have
nothing out of the ordinary to report.
**[02:29] ---**
Zeons are staging periodic bombings.
**[02:31] ---**
Roger!
**[02:33] ---**
What the hell's the point in regular
reports from a remote outpost like ours?
**[02:36] ---**
Don't complain so much!
**[02:38] ---**
Even they aren't doing their patrols
just so they can collect their paychecks...
**[02:42] ---**
What's wrong?
**[03:18] ---**
Another periodic bombing, is it?
**[03:20] ---**
Well, it's nothing to be concerned about.
Now then...
**[03:23] ---**
The White Base's crew organization
will remain as it is now.
**[03:27] ---**
You will join the 13th Autonomous
Corps of the Tianem fleet.
**[03:33] ---**
I will now announce each of your ranks.
**[03:35] ---**
Lieutenant Bright Noa.
**[03:37] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:41] ---**
Ensign Mirai Yashima.
**[03:42] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:44] ---**
Petty Officer Sayla Mass.
**[03:45] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:46] ---**
Before we've had a chance to think
about it, we've been made into soldiers.
**[03:50] ---**
Chief Petty Officer Amuro Ray.
**[03:52] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[03:53] ---**
Corporal Kai Shiden.
**[03:55] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:56] ---**
Corporal Hayato Kobayashi.
**[03:57] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:59] ---**
I haven't received anything like
this since my grade school diploma.
**[04:04] ---**
What good will this do?
**[04:06] ---**
Private First Class Fraw Bow!
**[04:09] ---**
Private Fraw Bow? Isn't she here?
**[04:12] ---**
Nooo! We don't wanna!
**[04:13] ---**
Come back here, you...!
**[04:17] ---**
Oh no. Please excuse me.
**[04:18] ---**
No way! I'm not going anywhere!
**[04:21] ---**
Me neither!
**[04:22] ---**
No way are we leaving!
**[04:26] ---**
What was that all about?
**[04:28] ---**
Well, the children absolutely refuse
to go to the childcare center, and...
**[04:32] ---**
How self-centered.
**[04:34] ---**
I have some expertise in this area.
**[04:36] ---**
I'll convince those children.
**[04:38] ---**
Ah, you should come with me.
**[04:40] ---**
Yes, ma'am.
**[04:41] ---**
Hurry up and receive your appointment.
**[04:43] ---**
Uh, yes sir.
**[04:46] ---**
Ryu Jose has been promoted two ranks
for honorable death in the line of duty.
**[04:51] ---**
He's been appointed lieutenant junior grade.
**[04:53] ---**
Other White Base casualties have
also been promoted two ranks. That is all.
**[04:57] ---**
Promoted two ranks?
**[04:59] ---**
Promoted two ranks...?!
**[05:14] ---**
Promoted two ranks...?
**[05:17] ---**
Is... Is that all they get?
**[05:20] ---**
Huh?
**[05:22] ---**
They get promoted two ranks, and that's it?
**[05:25] ---**
That's the end of the matter?
**[05:27] ---**
What? What exactly are you saying?
**[05:29] ---**
You do nothing for us while we're fighting,
**[05:32] ---**
and afterwards you hand out ranks.
**[05:34] ---**
Couldn't you at least say "thank
you" to Ryu and the others?!
**[05:38] ---**
Amuro. That's enough.
**[05:39] ---**
How dare you!
**[05:43] ---**
Who said you could dodge my blow?!
**[05:45] ---**
Do that again and I'll throw you in a cell!
**[05:47] ---**
What?
**[05:48] ---**
There!
**[05:49] ---**
Well, you do say things that you shouldn't.
**[05:51] ---**
You need sense smacked into you
once in a while.
**[05:54] ---**
Yeah. I get the message. Let's just drop it.
**[05:57] ---**
So what about Kikka and the other kids?
**[06:00] ---**
The childcare officer told them
the facility has lots of fun playgrounds.
**[06:03] ---**
So they were convinced and went with her.
**[06:07] ---**
But I wonder...
**[06:09] ---**
Do you think those kids will
really be happy if they stay here?
**[06:12] ---**
Really be happy?
**[06:14] ---**
I think they'll be fine wherever
they end up.
**[06:17] ---**
Do you really believe that?
**[06:18] ---**
We've got no choice.
They've gotta stay behind.
**[06:22] ---**
But...!
**[06:23] ---**
Young children shouldn't have to see
people killing each other.
**[06:30] ---**
Maybe you're right.
**[06:59] ---**
The preparations are done, Captain Char.
**[07:02] ---**
Okay! Let's go!
**[07:15] ---**
Juice! Juice! Delicious juice!
**[07:22] ---**
I want some soft-serve ice cream!
**[07:23] ---**
You guys are so innocent and carefree.
**[07:25] ---**
Huh?
**[07:27] ---**
What's wrong with kids being carefree?
**[07:30] ---**
But all that does is make adults happy.
**[07:32] ---**
You are one cynical kid!
**[07:35] ---**
If you stick around here long
enough, you'll all end up like this.
**[07:43] ---**
There's a war going on right now!
**[07:45] ---**
Nothing to do with me.
**[07:46] ---**
All I do is sit around waiting until
my mother and father come and see me.
**[07:54] ---**
Mommy...?
**[07:56] ---**
Daddy?
**[07:57] ---**
Aw, cut it out!
**[07:59] ---**
But...
**[08:01] ---**
Why you...!
**[08:02] ---**
Ow!
**[08:04] ---**
Fraw Bow! I wanna go home!
**[08:07] ---**
I wanna go back to the ship!
**[08:10] ---**
Look what you did!
**[08:11] ---**
This is all your fault!
**[08:13] ---**
M-Me too...
**[08:15] ---**
I wanna go home. I wanna go...!
**[08:20] ---**
What's wrong, kids?
**[08:22] ---**
She's coming!
**[08:24] ---**
Let's run away!
**[08:24] ---**
Right! Now, Kikka. Let's run!
**[08:27] ---**
Okay...
**[08:28] ---**
Hey! Come back here!
Katz! Letz! Kikka!
**[08:32] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[08:41] ---**
Come back, you kids! Can't you hear me?
**[08:45] ---**
Please answer me, Kikka dear!
**[08:48] ---**
Katz! Letz!
**[08:52] ---**
What am I going to do?
**[09:10] ---**
Somebody's coming.
**[09:12] ---**
Wait. They're kids.
**[09:16] ---**
Come on, Kikka.
**[09:18] ---**
Okay!
**[09:19] ---**
It's slippery, Katz. So be careful.
**[09:33] ---**
Katz!
**[09:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:38] ---**
They sure gave me a scare.
**[09:45] ---**
Captain Char?
**[09:46] ---**
The Federation's come a long way.
**[09:49] ---**
This is probably just a small sample
of what they have.
**[09:53] ---**
Are we doing it now? Captain?
**[09:55] ---**
Yes, of course...
Ramsey. Have your unit set them here.
**[09:58] ---**
Sir.
**[09:59] ---**
Akahana, our teams will head
to the Trojan Horse's dock.
**[10:02] ---**
Right!
**[10:03] ---**
Ha! This'll be a piece of cake.
**[10:07] ---**
Keep running! If they catch us,
they'll take us back there!
**[10:13] ---**
I can't run anymore!
**[10:14] ---**
Kikka! Pull yourself together!
**[10:15] ---**
I wanna rest!
**[10:17] ---**
Well, if we have to...
**[10:17] ---**
Hey. This door opens.
Well, if we have to...
**[10:18] ---**
Hey. This door opens.
**[10:19] ---**
It does? Okay, Kikka.
We'll rest here for a little bit.
**[10:23] ---**
Then we'll go back to the ship.
**[10:29] ---**
How much longer?
**[10:30] ---**
Five more minutes, sir!
**[10:33] ---**
Wait! Hide!
**[10:34] ---**
Sir?
**[10:36] ---**
Stinky.
**[10:36] ---**
Is there nobody here?
**[10:37] ---**
Hey! Look, Gundams!
**[10:39] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[10:40] ---**
There are so many!
**[10:45] ---**
But it's kinda different than Gundam.
**[10:47] ---**
Come to think of it, they're a lot different.
**[10:53] ---**
Oh! Something's near its feet!
**[10:54] ---**
Huh? Near its feet?
**[10:55] ---**
I saw something move.
**[10:57] ---**
What?!
**[11:00] ---**
You imagined it. I don't see anything.
**[11:02] ---**
But it's true!
**[11:03] ---**
Something really moved!
**[11:06] ---**
It could've been a person!
**[11:08] ---**
What?! If it's a person, we're in trouble.
**[11:10] ---**
L-Let's hide.
**[11:11] ---**
Okay!
**[11:16] ---**
Run away! Run away!
The other way!
**[11:20] ---**
I know how you feel
but it'll make it tougher, Fraw.
**[11:24] ---**
But I'd just like to see them once more.
**[11:26] ---**
Even if I just watch them quietly, from afar.
**[11:28] ---**
Huh?
**[11:29] ---**
That's the childcare officer!
**[11:31] ---**
Oh, I'm glad I found you now!
**[11:33] ---**
Kikka, Katz and Letz have all run away!
**[11:35] ---**
What?!
**[11:35] ---**
Don't think ill of us, kids.
**[11:38] ---**
I've set them to detonate in 30 minutes.
**[11:40] ---**
Okay. Let's go!
**[12:04] ---**
Bombs!
**[12:05] ---**
They've set b-b-bombs!
**[12:31] ---**
Sorry for the wait.
We're finally authorized.
**[12:33] ---**
That's terrific! Now we can go on the tour!
**[12:36] ---**
You're coming too, right, Kai?
The Gundam factory?
**[12:39] ---**
Ah, sure. I'll go to take my mind off things.
**[12:42] ---**
Lieutenant Bright. Come to
the operations conference room at once.
**[12:46] ---**
Coming, sir.
**[12:48] ---**
Well, that's the military for you.
You guys go ahead without me.
**[12:51] ---**
Okay.
**[12:52] ---**
You'll enjoy it more without your superior.
**[12:56] ---**
I did it! Katz, hurry!
**[12:58] ---**
You saved me!
**[12:59] ---**
W-We gotta get rid of those Zeon bombs!
**[13:01] ---**
Right!
W-We gotta get rid of those Zeon bombs!
**[13:06] ---**
Katz! Kikka! You two look under here!
**[13:08] ---**
Okay!
Katz! Kikka! You two look under here!
**[13:09] ---**
Um... Let's see...
**[13:12] ---**
Well? Any bombs??
**[13:13] ---**
Hey! Did you find any?!
**[13:15] ---**
Um...
**[13:16] ---**
No good! At this rate,
we'll blow up along with them!
**[13:19] ---**
I don't wanna blow up! What should we do?
**[13:22] ---**
I found one!
**[13:22] ---**
What?!
**[13:23] ---**
This one's a bomb, right?!
**[13:25] ---**
Th-There's one over here, too!
**[13:27] ---**
Here we go...
**[13:54] ---**
Come on, Kikka, hurry up!
**[14:05] ---**
Come on! Start, engine! Start!
**[14:08] ---**
H-Hurry up!
**[14:10] ---**
I'm... I'm trying, but
this thing won't start!
**[14:12] ---**
But are you sure you know
how to make it move?
**[14:15] ---**
I'll manage!
**[14:22] ---**
I did it! It started!
Okay, next I need to do...
**[14:26] ---**
This!
**[14:31] ---**
No. That wasn't it.
**[14:43] ---**
Those voices were Katz and Letz!
**[14:45] ---**
What are they doing in a place like this?
**[14:47] ---**
We gotta go after them!
**[14:48] ---**
Right!
**[14:53] ---**
Stop the car, Katz! Stop the car!
**[14:55] ---**
Big brother Amuro!
**[14:56] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[14:58] ---**
Zeon soldiers set up some bombs!
We're throwing them away!
**[15:01] ---**
Bombs?
**[15:03] ---**
Th-This is... Amuro, looks like it's true.
These are time bombs.
**[15:08] ---**
Where did you find them?!
**[15:09] ---**
Inside the Gundam factory!
**[15:12] ---**
All right, Letz. Get in the other
car and leave the rest to me. Hurry!
**[15:15] ---**
Okay!
**[15:17] ---**
Mr. Kai! Help the kids into the car!
**[15:19] ---**
Just leave it to me.
Okay, Letz! You go first!
**[15:22] ---**
C'mon!
**[15:23] ---**
Okay. C'mon!
**[15:24] ---**
Okay, don't be scared. On three...
**[15:27] ---**
See, I told you it was fine!
**[15:28] ---**
Okay! You're next, Kikka. There!
**[15:32] ---**
Now it's your turn! Here we go!
**[15:35] ---**
You all did good. All yours, Amuro!
**[15:38] ---**
Thank you, Mr. Kai!
**[16:11] ---**
We did it! Yay! We did it!
**[16:16] ---**
The White Base is in danger!
**[16:17] ---**
Whoever set these bombs
will likely attack the White Base too!
**[16:29] ---**
Sounds like Ramsey's team went all out.
**[16:31] ---**
Ivanov. Can you hear me?
**[16:33] ---**
Yes, Captain Char.
**[16:35] ---**
Our mission has failed.
**[16:36] ---**
Distract the enemy with the Acguys.
**[16:38] ---**
Understood, sir.
**[16:39] ---**
Let's go!
**[17:04] ---**
It's starting to look rough up ahead.
**[17:05] ---**
The enemy's attacking with mobile suits.
**[17:11] ---**
That's...!
**[17:13] ---**
Katz!? Kikka!
**[17:15] ---**
Letz!
**[17:17] ---**
Katz! Letz! Please answer me!
**[17:19] ---**
Kikka! Where are you?!
**[17:20] ---**
Kikka!
**[17:20] ---**
Katz! Letz! Kikka!
**[17:26] ---**
Artesia?
**[17:33] ---**
I thought so.
**[17:51] ---**
I... I never would have thought
you'd join the Zeon Forces.
**[17:55] ---**
Not my gentle brother Casval!
**[17:57] ---**
Will you leave the military for me, Artesia?
**[18:01] ---**
Sayla! Are you there?
Please answer me...
**[18:05] ---**
Got that?
**[18:06] ---**
Casval!
**[18:10] ---**
Sayla!
**[18:12] ---**
Where are you?! Kikka!
**[18:15] ---**
Sayla?
**[18:15] ---**
Oh! Sayla?
**[18:17] ---**
I heard gunfire... Was there a Zeon soldier?
**[18:20] ---**
Was there a...?
**[18:21] ---**
There was a Zeon officer here on this rock.
**[18:24] ---**
You didn't notice?!
**[18:26] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[18:28] ---**
Maybe we shouldn't go that way, then.
**[18:51] ---**
Captain Char...
**[18:52] ---**
Ignore them. We're all leaving right now.
**[18:54] ---**
Our mission is a failure,
so we're falling back. Got that?!
**[18:57] ---**
Sir!
**[19:08] ---**
Here I go!
**[19:25] ---**
I won't let you get away!
Four or five mobile suits... that's nothing!
**[19:33] ---**
Captain Char...!
**[19:37] ---**
Captain! Ivanov's Acguy
has been destroyed!
**[19:40] ---**
Don't stop!
**[19:42] ---**
If you stop, you won't survive!
Keep moving!
**[19:54] ---**
Char!
**[20:05] ---**
I'll get you!
**[20:06] ---**
He's still coming?!
**[20:26] ---**
They may only be Acguys, but
he took out four of them all at once.
**[20:30] ---**
He's improved his skill as a fighter.
**[20:34] ---**
An underground water vein.
**[20:47] ---**
I can't see ahead.
**[20:59] ---**
Knowing Char, he must have
used that opportunity to escape.
**[21:18] ---**
I understand how you feel.
**[21:20] ---**
However, they're guaranteed to be safe here.
**[21:23] ---**
Besides, the children are the future
of the Federation Forces...
**[21:26] ---**
...so they're brought up with great care.
**[21:29] ---**
Even after what happened today?
**[21:31] ---**
Also, when I consider their
feelings, I'm not sure these kids...
**[21:35] ---**
And you called them the future
of the Federation Forces, but...
**[21:38] ---**
...they might see a world without Zeon or
Federation Forces within their lifetime.
**[21:44] ---**
Can't you consider that possibility?
**[21:49] ---**
Our little rascals here
aren't your average children.
**[21:53] ---**
In all the time they've been with us,
they've experienced explosions and more...
**[21:55] ---**
...and they've made it through those
battles, fighting alongside us.
**[21:58] ---**
They've seen some terrible things
even an adult like you couldn't imagine.
**[22:03] ---**
And they never turned away their
eyes. You understand?
**[22:06] ---**
They don't wanna leave us. Isn't that right?
**[22:08] ---**
Yeah!
**[22:09] ---**
But... but they...
**[22:18] ---**
Yes. I suppose you may be right.
**[22:21] ---**
I'll make all the necessary arrangements.
**[22:24] ---**
Then... then... It's so wonderful!
**[22:26] ---**
Yeah!
**[22:32] ---**
This is great!
**[22:33] ---**
Now we can bicker again like always!
**[22:36] ---**
That's right!
Now we can bicker again like always!
**[22:36] ---**
That's right!
**[22:38] ---**
Meanwhile, due to Char's guerilla
attack, the Earth Federation Forces...
**[22:44] ---**
...have decided to speed up
their military operations in outer space.
**[22:47] ---**
The admirals have figured out...
**[22:49] ---**
...that the Zeons are overestimating
the real potential of the White Base,
**[22:53] ---**
and that the White Base
would be an ideal decoy.
**[23:02] ---**
Are you saying that
the 13th Autonomous Corps...
**[23:05] ---**
...will specialize in decoy operations? Sir?
**[23:20] ---**
The White Base takes off into space...
**[23:22] ---**
...where an immense battlefield awaits.
**[23:25] ---**
Char pursues them relentlessly,
**[23:27] ---**
which finally leads to fleet combat.
**[23:29] ---**
Will the approaching gigantic
spacecraft crush the mobile suit to pieces?
**[23:33] ---**
Mobile Suit Gundam. Next episode...

**[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...
