[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!
[01:33] ---
    Char fearlessly led his men into Jaburo,
    the Earth Federation Forces Headquarters.
[01:38] ---
    However, with the heroic efforts
    of Katz, Letz, and Kikka...
[01:41] ---
    ...and with the Gundam's fierce
    pursuit, Char had no choice but to retreat.
[01:55] ---
    That damn Char...
[01:57] ---
    A Decoy in Space
[02:02] ---
    A Decoy in Space.
[02:05] ---
    The Tianem Fleet will be
    leaving Jaburo at 2100 hours.
[02:09] ---
    I would like your crew and the White
    Base to leave two hours in advance.
[02:14] ---
    A full two hours ahead, sir?
[02:16] ---
    That's correct. Oh, we'll be sending
    three other decoy ships as well.
[02:22] ---
    I'm having the Tianem Fleet
    fly directly to Luna II,
[02:26] ---
    while the White Base takes the opposite
    course along this satellite orbital path.
[02:29] ---
    Then we'll move in to attack
    Zeon's space fortress, Solomon.
[02:34] ---
    Yes, sir...
[02:35] ---
    The White Base will depart
    at 1900 hours today.
[02:39] ---
    Ensign Mirai, take good care of yourself.
[02:43] ---
    Thank you, Admiral.
[02:45] ---
    Don't worry.
[02:46] ---
    Once Solomon falls,
    Zeon's resources will be so low...
[02:49] ---
    ...they will inevitably approach us
    with a peace treaty, and the war will end.
[02:54] ---
    I hope you'll let me find you a husband then.
[02:56] ---
    Uh... Yes, sir.
[02:58] ---
    Oh. That's right, you have a fiancé.
    Forgive my rudeness.
[03:03] ---
    That's okay...
[03:07] ---
    He may be my fiancé, but
    it was arranged by both our parents.
[03:10] ---
    Where is he?
[03:11] ---
    I heard that he fled to Side 6
    to avoid the war.
[03:15] ---
    Probably worked out for the best, I suppose.
[03:17] ---
    Yeah.
[03:25] ---
    Welcome back!
[03:27] ---
    The White Base will be departing in an hour.
[03:30] ---
    Have all stations ready to go by then!
[03:32] ---
    Yo! Who's in charge of
    the White Base troops?
[03:36] ---
    What do you want with him?
[03:37] ---
    Just tell me where he is!
[03:39] ---
    Mr. Bright! You're wanted.
[03:40] ---
    Hm? What is it?
[03:42] ---
    Lieutenant Sleggar Law.
    I've just been transferred here.
[03:46] ---
    Mirai. Have we been notified?
[03:47] ---
    Oh? Um...
[03:50] ---
    Yes, here it is.
[03:52] ---
    My luck must be improving, if I'm assigned to
    the same ship as a lovely young lady.
[03:56] ---
    Greetings. The name's Mirai Yashima.
[03:58] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[04:04] ---
    Nice to meet you, miss.
[04:06] ---
    It's Sayla Mass.
[04:07] ---
    Oh?
[04:09] ---
    Looks to me like you're preoccupied
    with some other guy.
[04:12] ---
    What?
[04:14] ---
    Hey, where do I bunk down?
[04:16] ---
    The first step to this great battle
    relies on your courageous actions.
[04:21] ---
    Should the Federation Forces
    emerge from this battle victorious,
[04:24] ---
    then today will be remembered
    by our people as a turning point in history.
[04:29] ---
    We pray that you will fight well.
[04:32] ---
    He's a great big guy
    just like Mr. Ryu was before he died!
[04:36] ---
    I wonder if he's as nice as Ryu though.
[04:38] ---
    Apparently he pushes his luck too much!
[04:41] ---
    Now then, we'll be taking off soon.
[04:43] ---
    All hands to your stations!
[04:46] ---
    Release the docking locks!
    White Base, take off!
[05:09] ---
    Airspace clear! Open hatch!
[05:41] ---
    Wow, look at all the birds!
[05:43] ---
    Pretty!
[05:50] ---
    Look to portside if you have a
    minute. It's a flock of flamingos.
[05:54] ---
    I'll record it on video.
[05:55] ---
    All right, you have my
    authorization.
[06:03] ---
    What's the Trojan Horse up to, Lt. Tokwan?
[06:06] ---
    Sir!
[06:07] ---
    It seems they've left Jaburo
    in South America.
[06:10] ---
    Okay.
[06:10] ---
    Move it!
[06:47] ---
    We'll be within combat range in 30 minutes.
[06:49] ---
    Good work.
[06:51] ---
    Was Lady Kycilia quite upset?
[06:53] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:54] ---
    I must admit...
[06:56] ---
    If I hadn't run into the Zanzibar
    testing the Bigro...
[07:00] ---
    ...I'd have lost the Trojan Horse.
[07:01] ---
    Captain Char.
[07:03] ---
    Would you like to see the Bigro?
[07:06] ---
    Sure, show it to me.
    I need to come up with a plan.
[07:10] ---
    When it comes to high speed combat,
    this Bigro mobile armor...
[07:13] ---
    ...blows mobile suits right off the scale.
[07:17] ---
    One isn't enough to build a strategy around.
[07:20] ---
    Right. But we've also got two Doms
    and untested mobile armor.
[07:23] ---
    Doms? Are they for land combat?
[07:25] ---
    Yes sir! Rick Doms
    with powered-up verniers.
[07:29] ---
    They've been retrofitted?
[07:30] ---
    Yes. Much more effective than Zaku-types.
[07:34] ---
    Speed it up!
    We'll be heading out soon!
[07:38] ---
    Assemble the pilots!
[07:39] ---
    As soon as we know where
    the Trojan Horse is headed, we'll attack.
[07:43] ---
    Sir!
[07:47] ---
    The ship pursuing us looks like
    a Zanzibar class battleship.
[07:51] ---
    At this rate, they'll catch up in 20
    minutes and we'll be under direct attack.
[07:54] ---
    All right. Stay on this course
    and get set to accelerate at Point E3.
[07:57] ---
    Yes. That way it'll look like the White Base is
    heading straight toward the moon.
[08:02] ---
    That's the idea.
[08:04] ---
    Char will come.
[08:06] ---
    He'll come for sure.
[08:08] ---
    Sayla, what are you still doing here?!
[08:11] ---
    There's barely time to check the G-Armor.
[08:13] ---
    I'm sorry, sir.
[08:15] ---
    How can you be sure that Char is coming?
[08:17] ---
    Because... There's some fateful attraction
    between Char and White Base. Right...?
[08:23] ---
    Are you scared?
[08:24] ---
    Who isn't?
[08:28] ---
    What do you think, Mirai?
[08:31] ---
    I think she's tired,
    and that's why she's afraid.
[08:34] ---
    I suppose so.
[08:40] ---
    We have the Trojan Horse's projected course.
[08:43] ---
    Looks like they're headed for the moon.
[08:45] ---
    What? For the moon?!
    Are they after Lady Kycilia's Granada base?
[08:48] ---
    I doubt it.
[08:49] ---
    Sir?
[08:50] ---
    We've been tricked.
[08:53] ---
    The Trojan Horse is just a decoy.
[08:55] ---
    There's probably a different fleet
    taking off from Jaburo right about now.
[08:59] ---
    Then we must go after them!
[09:01] ---
    Are you serious? If we turn our backs on the
    Trojan Horse, they will attack us.
[09:06] ---
    We'll have to pull off a
    preemptive strike!
[09:09] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:11] ---
    Zanzibar located! Maximum magnification.
[09:13] ---
    How many minutes until they attack?
[09:15] ---
    Give me a moment...
[09:17] ---
    At this rate, we'll be under attack
    in 2 minutes, 20 seconds.
[09:22] ---
    Amuro and Sayla!
    Prepare to launch in the G-Sky and G-Bull.
[09:25] ---
    Have the Guncannon ready on standby!
[09:28] ---
    Open all artillery platforms!
    Open beam cannons!
[09:38] ---
    Tokwan, are you ready to launch the Bigro?
[09:40] ---
    Sir!
[09:40] ---
    Rick Doms, prepare to launch after the Bigro!
[09:43] ---
    Tokwan and two others, launching now.
[09:56] ---
    G-Sky, G-Bull E-Z, take off at once!
[09:59] ---
    Deploy from the White Base's rear
    and destroy the enemy mobile suits!
[10:04] ---
    Looks to me like you're preoccupied
    with some other guy.
[10:10] ---
    If you're doing this to take revenge
    on the Zabi family,
[10:12] ---
    I can't stand by
    and watch you waste your life.
[10:16] ---
    G-Sky! Here I go!
[10:23] ---
    G-Bull E-Z, launching now!
[10:31] ---
    Ms. Sayla, distance yourself a little.
[10:33] ---
    If we took a direct hit right now,
    they could destroy both of us at once!
[10:37] ---
    Roger!
[10:40] ---
    You've gotta be careful now!
[10:41] ---
    If you go too fast,
    gravity will pull you down into freefall.
[10:45] ---
    Remember to fly as if you were ascending.
[10:48] ---
    Thank you! I'll be careful.
[10:50] ---
    They're here!
[10:53] ---
    Rear missiles, counterattack quickly!
[10:57] ---
    Here they come!
[11:02] ---
    All right... just you watch!
[11:08] ---
    It's fast!
[11:10] ---
    Can you evade the speed of my Bigro?
[11:19] ---
    I can't believe how powerful it is!
[11:20] ---
    But it's gripping me at a poor angle.
    I'll use my beam cannons...
[11:25] ---
    But... what if the pilot of this
    mobile armor is my own brother?
[11:37] ---
    N-No, Ms. Sayla, you've got to ascend!
[11:42] ---
    Three enemy mobile suits confirmed.
    Please send out the Guncannon, too.
[11:46] ---
    Right! Have Kai launch the Guncannon!
[11:49] ---
    Where's Lieutenant Sleggar?
[11:51] ---
    Yeah? What is it? I'm right below the bridge.
[11:55] ---
    What do you specialize in?
[11:56] ---
    Artillery, fighter planes, take your pick!
[11:58] ---
    Would you take care of
    the main cannon, Lieutenant?
[12:01] ---
    On one condition.
[12:02] ---
    On what?
[12:04] ---
    Turn the White Base toward the enemy!
[12:06] ---
    We're in inertial flight,
    so you should be able to do it.
[12:09] ---
    But then they'd catch up with us.
[12:11] ---
    Then I won't do it.
    I'm not confident that I'd hit anything.
[12:32] ---
    Listen well. Keep attacking for 15 seconds.
[12:35] ---
    If we fire any longer than that, we
    risk putting our own mobile suits in danger.
[12:47] ---
    This isn't looking good...
[12:48] ---
    We'll get them with the guns at the back!
[12:50] ---
    Yeah!
[12:51] ---
    Yeah. Go get 'em!
[12:55] ---
    The ship's crew is getting better...
    I wonder if they have a new captain?
[13:01] ---
    But I still can't believe it.
[13:03] ---
    A civilian entering the military and
    joining the Trojan Horse crew.
[13:08] ---
    Artesia...
[13:10] ---
    Artesia...
[13:12] ---
    But the last time I saw her,
    she was wearing a military uniform.
[13:15] ---
    Artesia, who was intelligent,
    and hated wars more than anyone.
[13:23] ---
    There's no way she'd board
    a space battleship again.
[13:26] ---
    All right! Halt your fire in three
    seconds! Hit your mark!
[13:36] ---
    Sorry. That wasn't on purpose at all.
[13:38] ---
    Hey, Lieutenant Bright!
[13:40] ---
    Lieutenant. Let me remind you,
[13:42] ---
    that you may be older than me but I still
    have the right of command. So...
[13:45] ---
    Well, that's obvious.
[13:47] ---
    Thanks a lot.
[13:49] ---
    That's why I'm asking you.
[13:50] ---
    Turn hard to starboard so that I can
    use the White Base's main cannon!
[13:55] ---
    We can't right now!
    Wait a little longer!
[13:59] ---
    The power isn't increasing... Why?!
    It doesn't seem to rev up at all?!
[14:05] ---
    Rear missiles! Firing angle, 12 degrees!
[14:10] ---
    Hmph! This is how you
    put up a barrage of missiles!
[14:23] ---
    He's maneuvered beneath me?
[14:26] ---
    Here I go!
[14:29] ---
    Talk about guts!
    If you keep coming below me,
[14:32] ---
    you could be pulled into free fall. But...
[14:42] ---
    One of the three enemy machines
    is a mobile armor class weapon.
[14:46] ---
    Please hurry with the Guncannon's launch!
[14:48] ---
    Kai! What's taking you so long?!
[14:51] ---
    All right! It's a long story, but I'm
    ready and the catapult's okay for takeoff!
[14:54] ---
    Go back up Amuro and Sayla!
[14:56] ---
    Roger that! Here I go!
[15:03] ---
    Secure the Guntank to the takeoff exit!
[15:06] ---
    We'll use it as a gun turret! Got that?!
[15:09] ---
    Roger that! I'll inform Hayato.
[15:12] ---
    Bring the White Base about 180 degrees!
[15:17] ---
    Nice going, Lieutenant Bright...
[15:19] ---
    You're doing just fine.
[15:21] ---
    How about taking over at the main cannon?
[15:23] ---
    Ms. Mirai, I'll leave the ship in
    your hands. I'm counting on you!
[15:42] ---
    Now, where could they be?
[15:43] ---
    I can't spend the rest of my life
    being depressed.
[15:50] ---
    Don't know how Ms. Sayla and Amuro
    can keep fighting like that.
[15:57] ---
    A-At this rate...
[15:59] ---
    I've got the upper hand!
[16:02] ---
    It's just a matter of time...
[16:05] ---
    Ms. Sayla...
[16:06] ---
    Mr. Kai!
[16:07] ---
    I'll use this opportunity
    to transfer to Gundam.
[16:13] ---
    First, I've got to lower its speed!
[16:16] ---
    I'll give it a try!
[16:18] ---
    A direct hit and she's gone...
    but I've gotta stop her from plummeting.
[16:26] ---
    Good!
[16:27] ---
    Ready? I'm starting docking procedures!
[16:36] ---
    Ms. Sayla! Are you all right?!
[16:38] ---
    Yes. But hurry up, Amuro.
[16:40] ---
    Right!
[16:41] ---
    Amuro, what kind of person do you
    think might be piloting that mobile armor?
[16:45] ---
    Huh? Why do you ask?
[16:47] ---
    N-Never mind.
[16:49] ---
    Amuro! A Dom's approaching us, so hurry!
[16:51] ---
    Okay!
[16:55] ---
    Amuro!
[16:56] ---
    It's okay! Don't worry, I'll take care of it!
[17:06] ---
    G-Fighter! Docking now complete!
[17:13] ---
    Altitude of mobile suit combat decreasing.
    We can commence fire on the enemy.
[17:18] ---
    All hands, prepare for fleet combat!
[17:20] ---
    Too bad we can't use our J-type missiles.
[17:23] ---
    Prepare cannons!
[17:24] ---
    We'll attack them as we dodge their fire!
    Aim carefully!
[17:28] ---
    Entering firing range in 30 seconds!
[17:33] ---
    Who has the longer firing range...
    us or the Trojan Horse?
[17:37] ---
    I suppose God only knows.
[17:40] ---
    Artesia, I hope you're not on board...
[17:46] ---
    Evade their fire every three seconds.
[17:48] ---
    Roger.
[17:48] ---
    Entering firing range in 20 seconds.
[17:51] ---
    We can fire in 20 seconds!
[17:54] ---
    15 seconds! All hands, prepare to fire!
[17:59] ---
    I don't know how powerful
    the White Base's main cannon might be...
[18:03] ---
    ...let's take a look.
[18:05] ---
    3... 2... 1...
[18:07] ---
    All right!
[18:09] ---
    Here it comes! Return fire!
[18:11] ---
    Wait!
[18:14] ---
    Don't fire yet! Lure them in, and then fire!
[18:21] ---
    Fire missiles consecutively!
[18:28] ---
    You persevered well! Now fire!
[18:37] ---
    Damn Zanzibar...
    I'll shoot you down somehow!
[18:40] ---
    Now! Head for the Trojan Horse
    on a collision course!
[18:43] ---
    But sir...!
[18:45] ---
    We'll be less likely to get hit than
    if we weaved about. I guarantee it!
[18:48] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:49] ---
    Zanzibar isn't evading fire!
    They're on a collision course!
[18:52] ---
    They're doing what?!
    Mirai, evade! Starboard!
[18:56] ---
    It's Char!
[18:57] ---
    He's the only one who would dare
    to fight as recklessly as this!
[19:02] ---
    It's just as Sayla said!
    Char's come after us!
[19:07] ---
    The Trojan Horse is starting to
    panic now! Artillery, take good aim!
[19:12] ---
    Why you...!
[19:24] ---
    A direct hit!
[19:25] ---
    How do you like that?!
    That's for trying to ram into my ship!
[19:33] ---
    Fire a barrage of rear missiles!
[19:51] ---
    I'm not giving up... or running away!
[20:00] ---
    Where'd the other Dom go?
[20:03] ---
    Where's the Gundam?
[20:10] ---
    All right!
[20:13] ---
    The faster it is, the less accurate the shot.
[20:15] ---
    I'll show you what a Bigro can do.
[20:25] ---
    Hm? I've picked up some baggage!
[20:28] ---
    Could it be the Gundam?!
[20:30] ---
    Wait, if it is the Gundam... the pilot would have
    fainted from the sudden acceleration.
[20:47] ---
    I... I see...
[21:00] ---
    Impossible! Didn't the pilot pass out?!
[21:12] ---
    Where are the other mobile suits
    and the Zanzibar?
[21:18] ---
    One of their mobile suits has retreated.
[21:20] ---
    Amuro, are you okay?
[21:22] ---
    They destroyed Tokwan.
[21:25] ---
    Captain Char!
[21:27] ---
    Please let me go after them, sir!
[21:29] ---
    Don't be hasty.
[21:31] ---
    They're like a baby bird
    that's wandered into our yard.
[21:34] ---
    There'll be plenty more chances.
[21:35] ---
    Sir!
[21:36] ---
    Now get started on repairs.
[21:39] ---
    Ms. Sayla.
    Why did you ask about the pilot?
[21:43] ---
    Huh?
[21:44] ---
    Back there, you asked who I thought
    was piloting the mobile armor.
[21:48] ---
    It's just that the enemy was so tough...
    That's the only reason.
[21:53] ---
    Is that so...?
[21:55] ---
    We can declare this first stage a success.
[21:58] ---
    I agree. I think we were
    fully able to mislead the Zanzibar.
[22:02] ---
    Impressive, Lieutenant Sleggar.
    You were the only one with a direct hit.
[22:06] ---
    That was just a fluke.
[22:08] ---
    I'm more impressed by how you all did.
[22:10] ---
    Yes. Good work, everyone!
[22:13] ---
    The enemy's gotten a lot faster.
[22:15] ---
    So how'd it go?
[22:16] ---
    It was scary when we passed the Zanzibar.
[22:19] ---
    That seemed like Char's tactics.
[22:21] ---
    Char, huh?
[22:22] ---
    Yeah.
[22:23] ---
    Nobody else could've pulled that off.
[22:26] ---
    Man... I really do admire you.
[22:29] ---
    Ms. Sayla, you shot down a mobile suit!
    That's quite something.
[22:32] ---
    Oh, come on I just barely...
[22:34] ---
    Don't play it down. I can tell...
[22:37] ---
    You're an incredibly strong person.
[22:40] ---
    Hey, I'm going to take a quick shower.
[22:42] ---
    Okay, but you've only got five minutes.
    The Zeons'll be back in no time at all.
[22:46] ---
    Roger that! Wanna join me, Ms. Mirai?
[22:49] ---
    You'll have to go on your own.
[22:50] ---
    Sure, I hear you.
[22:52] ---
    Yo! Let's go!
[22:53] ---
    Sure. Let's go!
[22:55] ---
    We're coming with you! Yeah!
[23:19] ---
    After shaking off Char's heated pursuit,
[23:21] ---
    the White Base is met by
    a Musai squadron, led by Lieutenant Dren.
[23:27] ---
    Sleggar desperately fights them off,
[23:28] ---
    and the Gundam stages a fearless
    charge against the Musai squadron.

    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...
