    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!
[01:35] ---
    The Gundam successfully fought off
    Challia Bull's Braw Bro.
[01:40] ---
    However, its control system was no
    longer able to keep up with Amuro's will.
[01:45] ---
    Amuro's reflexes and combat
    abilities had continued to improve,
[01:49] ---
    making it evident that the Gundam's
    performance was no longer good enough.
[01:53] ---
    Modifications to the Gundam's
    drive system began at once,
[01:57] ---
    but nobody could say whether
    that would solve the problem at hand.
[02:01] ---
    Lalah's Dilemma
[02:06] ---
    Lalah's Dilemma.
[02:08] ---
    Isn't it good that Amuro's getting stronger?
    Then the Gundam will be stronger, too.
[02:13] ---
    You're so dumb! The Gundam can't
    fight unless it can keep up with Amuro!
[02:16] ---
    Yeah, that's why everyone's so worried.
[02:19] ---
    Go help out with dinner or something, kids!
[02:22] ---
    Did you talk to them?
[02:23] ---
    Yes.
[02:23] ---
    They want us to go
    to Solomon's technical headquarters.
[02:26] ---
    Do the Federation Forces have a solution?
[02:28] ---
    I can't imagine the Federation
    Forces are that considerate.
[02:32] ---
    Tell me, Mirai. I haven't noticed myself,
[02:35] ---
    but have Amuro's combat skills
    improved that much?
[02:38] ---
    You can tell by watching his recent battles.
[02:41] ---
    No. No, that's not what I'm talking about.
[02:45] ---
    His intuition is so good...
    isn't it like he's seeing the future?
[02:49] ---
    You think so?
[02:51] ---
    Fraw Bow, you sense it sometimes, right?
[02:53] ---
    Yes, I do.
[02:54] ---
    Amuro is different now...
[02:57] ---
    Having said that, I don't believe
    what Ms. Matilda said in the past,
[02:59] ---
    about Amuro being some kind of esper.
[03:03] ---
    Human beings can't change themselves
    so conveniently.
[03:06] ---
    Of course not. Right, Fraw Bow?
[03:08] ---
    Yes.
[03:08] ---
    Mirai! We're entering Solomon.
[03:10] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:27] ---
    I want all White Base mechanics
    to step away from the Gundam!
[03:31] ---
    We'll take over from this point on!
[03:34] ---
    Hurry with the magnet coating!
[03:37] ---
    What's going on here?
[03:38] ---
    What? Who are you?
[03:40] ---
    I'm Amuro Ray, the Gundam pilot.
[03:43] ---
    I'm here because I read your report.
[03:46] ---
    Don't blame me if this doesn't work.
[03:48] ---
    After all, we've never had
    a chance to test it properly.
[03:52] ---
    What are you trying to do?!
[03:54] ---
    I'm applying my theory
    to make the Gundam move faster.
[03:57] ---
    Are you sure that's possible?
[03:59] ---
    They can't guarantee anything.
[04:01] ---
    Mr. Bright!
[04:02] ---
    He's Dr. Mosk Han.
[04:04] ---
    A top electromagnetic engineer.
[04:06] ---
    It's called a magnet coating.
[04:09] ---
    They're making the Gundam's drive system
    faster by wrapping it in electromagnetic fields.
[04:13] ---
    See? It's sort of like oiling the joints.
[04:16] ---
    Can they really do that?
[04:19] ---
    There's no way I can answer that.
[04:21] ---
    You'll have to ask the doctor himself.
[04:22] ---
    I understand the concept, but...
[04:24] ---
    I'm going to a strategy meeting.
    We should take off shortly. Got that?
[04:28] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:29] ---
    It'll be fine.
[04:31] ---
    Uh, yes...
[04:33] ---
    I can't stand this.
[04:35] ---
    Ditto.
[04:36] ---
    Get a move on!
    The operation has already begun!
[04:42] ---
    Challia Bull has been defeated?
[04:45] ---
    It was likely due to his inexperience.
[04:47] ---
    Captain Char's reports said the Gundam
    may not be tuned to a Newtype's abilities...
[04:51] ---
    That Char. He's always guessing.
[04:54] ---
    Pardon?
[04:54] ---
    Nothing.
[04:56] ---
    And what of Supreme Commander
    Gihren's strategies?
[04:58] ---
    Right! Our Granada fleet and
    A Baoa Qu will form the front line...
[05:02] ---
    ...with the Solar Ray at the homeland...
[05:04] ---
    The Solar Ray...?
    Yes, that must be Gihren's doing.
[05:16] ---
    The Granada base on the far side of
    the moon, and this space fortress, A Baoa Qu...
[05:22] ---
    The line linking them
    is Zeon's final line of defense.
[05:28] ---
    This is Mahal, the Principality of
    Zeon's third closed-cylinder colony.
[05:42] ---
    All right! Vessel 123, all set!
[05:46] ---
    Thanks! Go ahead and take off!
[05:49] ---
    You! And you call yourself a Zeon citizen?!
[05:52] ---
    I've been separated from my
    granddaughter. I was looking for her!
[05:55] ---
    I guarantee you,
    your granddaughter is on one of the ships.
[05:58] ---
    But I won't know where her ship's headed!
[06:01] ---
    It's within Zeon. You'll find her in no time.
[06:03] ---
    Next group, hurry!
[06:04] ---
    Get up! It's your group's turn to go now!
[06:08] ---
    The mandatory evacuation of Mahal's
    1.5 million residents...
[06:12] ---
    ...began four days ago.
[06:14] ---
    It was obvious that this was part of
    a plan to defend the homeland.
[06:19] ---
    Panels of solar cells used at other
    colonies were being brought here to Mahal.
[06:25] ---
    The residents could only watch
    anxiously as the preparations continued.
[06:43] ---
    But Gihren...
[06:45] ---
    Trying to evacuate a million
    civilians only demonstrates...
[06:49] ---
    ...your incompetence as a soldier.
[06:53] ---
    How dare you say that to my face.
[06:56] ---
    Gihren!
[06:58] ---
    I am the man who laid out
    this nation's monarchical system.
[07:01] ---
    And I can't support your militaristic...
[07:03] ---
    Take a look.
[07:05] ---
    I don't want to hear your plans.
[07:07] ---
    For our Zeon homeland...
[07:09] ---
    ...the moon and A Baoa Qu
    mark the final line of defense.
[07:13] ---
    As such, the Earth Federation Forces
    can invade us from these three routes.
[07:20] ---
    Once they breach the line,
    Zeon is exposed and helpless.
[07:23] ---
    So we must attack the oncoming fleet
    with the Solar Ray before they get here.
[07:28] ---
    By using a colony for this system, we'll save
    Zeon while also saving time and money.
[07:33] ---
    What will you do, Gihren,
    after winning at such cost?
[07:37] ---
    I'd be honored if you'd sign your consent.
[07:39] ---
    You've already started. Why ask me now?
[07:42] ---
    Without Sovereign Degwin,
    there is no Principality of Zeon.
[07:46] ---
    And? What are you planning?
[07:48] ---
    We've reduced the human population.
[07:51] ---
    We'll maintain it at this level,
    leaving only the superior races.
[07:55] ---
    It's the only way humanity can hope
    to achieve everlasting peace.
[07:58] ---
    And it can only be done
    by controlling humanity...
[08:01] ---
    ...through the dictatorship
    of the Zabi family.
[08:04] ---
    Gihren. Are you familiar...
    with Adolf Hitler?
[08:09] ---
    Hitler...? The historical figure
    from the middle era?
[08:13] ---
    Yes. He was a dictator.
[08:15] ---
    A man who failed to figure out
    the rest of the world.
[08:18] ---
    You seem to be following
    in Hitler's footsteps.
[08:22] ---
    Am I?
[08:24] ---
    I established the Principality as a means
    to quickly unite the Zeon people.
[08:29] ---
    It was to make Zeon's ideals a
    reality. But now...
[08:33] ---
    This follower of Hitler
    has created a dictatorship.
[08:37] ---
    Together with Kycilia.
[08:38] ---
    Yes.
[08:39] ---
    Absolute democracy will only produce
    weakness, as with the Federation.
[08:43] ---
    Humanity will end up consuming itself.
[08:47] ---
    Just as it's done in this war.
[08:49] ---
    But I will be victorious.
[08:51] ---
    See for yourself how Hitler's
    follower fights this war.
[08:54] ---
    I will take command at A Baoa Qu.
[09:02] ---
    Don't forget that Hitler was defeated.
[09:13] ---
    I've got it! One ship is a
    Magellan-class! Three Salamis-class!
[09:16] ---
    It's their minimum combat unit!
[09:18] ---
    Send out mobile suits!
[09:19] ---
    Captain Char, shall we send the Elmeth?!
[09:21] ---
    Of course.
    Don't give Lalah special treatment.
[09:27] ---
    Lalah, you're not afraid, are you?
[09:29] ---
    I'm fine, sir.
[09:30] ---
    This'll be your first actual battle.
[09:32] ---
    Cover the 2 Rick Doms from behind.
[09:35] ---
    Yes, sir.
[09:36] ---
    I'll head out shortly myself.
[09:38] ---
    I'll do my best, Captain.
[09:46] ---
    Any reinforcements from Granada?!
[09:48] ---
    The Gwarib will be here in 5 or 6 minutes.
[09:50] ---
    Hm. It looks like Lady Kycilia
    has finally decided to take action...
[09:55] ---
    J-missile!
    Target the enemy Magellan-class!
[10:00] ---
    Minus 0.2! Adjusting 2! Captain!
[10:03] ---
    Good! R 0.3! 2! Left 0.1!
[10:07] ---
    Fire!
[10:16] ---
    Aim second J-missile at the target!
[10:20] ---
    Fire!
[10:28] ---
    Well done.
    I'll head out in the Gelgoog.
[10:31] ---
    Mulligan!
[10:33] ---
    I'm leaving you in charge.
    I believe you owe me a favor.
[10:36] ---
    Be sure to do a good job.
[10:38] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[10:39] ---
    I need you to give me 30 seconds
    of covering fire after I've launched.
[10:42] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:48] ---
    All right! 30 seconds of covering fire!
[10:51] ---
    Don't hit our own mobile suits!
[10:58] ---
    Good job, Mulligan.
[11:00] ---
    C'mon, move it, Gelgoog!
[11:05] ---
    Attack the portside Salamis!
[11:15] ---
    I did it, Captain! I got them!
[11:20] ---
    Those were the Elmeth's bits?
[11:23] ---
    She fights like a veteran pilot already!
[11:25] ---
    How can she do that,
    when she's never fought before?!
[11:30] ---
    All right. I'll get at least one more...!
[11:35] ---
    The Doms aren't giving me backup?!
[11:40] ---
    The Doms are retreating...!
[11:44] ---
    Why are they moving behind me?
[11:47] ---
    They're sending a first-time fighter
    like me to the front?!
[11:51] ---
    Do I have to fight on my own?
[11:56] ---
    Without support, I can't concentrate!
[12:02] ---
    Only one more, but...!
[12:07] ---
    I can hear it again! It says la, la.
[12:10] ---
    Source unknown!
[12:13] ---
    I can't hit it!
[12:34] ---
    What's going on?
[12:39] ---
    Buttsham!
    You're supposed to be in the front!
[12:45] ---
    That's crazy! With the Elmeth on our
    side, there's no reason for us to fight up front.
[12:51] ---
    Okay. I'll give it a try!
[12:55] ---
    Lalah! Don't push yourself too hard!
[12:58] ---
    I'll fire!
[13:03] ---
    So I shouldn't rely
    on my own shooting skills?
[13:07] ---
    Captain...
[13:10] ---
    Lalah. I'll cover you!
[13:13] ---
    Captain!
[13:15] ---
    As long as you're here...!
[13:17] ---
    Hey! There it is again!
[13:23] ---
    Next!
[13:32] ---
    Well done, Lalah!
[13:33] ---
    Captain!
[13:35] ---
    Thank you so much for covering me.
[13:57] ---
    Meanwhile...
[13:58] ---
    ...at Solomon, now the forward base
    of the Earth Federation Forces...
[14:01] ---
    ...orders are being given
    for the next operation.
[14:04] ---
    This marks the beginning...
[14:05] ---
    ...of "Operation Star One,"
    the plan to invade the Zeon homeland.
[14:10] ---
    Each fleet will take its designated course...
[14:13] ---
    ...towards the target "star".
[14:29] ---
    Though part of the 13th Autonomous
    Fleet, which is meant to be at the forefront...
[14:34] ---
    ...the departure of the
    White Base is delayed.
[14:38] ---
    I have confidence in my theory.
[14:40] ---
    I believe I've successfully
    eliminated all mechanical friction.
[14:43] ---
    So in other words, there's no limit
    to how quickly it can move?
[14:46] ---
    Yes, in theory. However, the
    Gundam's actual power is another matter.
[14:52] ---
    That's true.
[14:53] ---
    You're a lifesaver, Doctor.
[14:56] ---
    If you survive, then you can thank me.
[14:59] ---
    I just want you to find some way
    to send me the data...
[15:01] ---
    ...from your next battle.
[15:05] ---
    That's why it's best not to know
    what people are really thinking.
[15:08] ---
    You're absolutely right, Amuro Ray.
[15:10] ---
    I'll put my faith in
    your instincts with the Gundam.
[15:13] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:14] ---
    Promise me you'll survive.
[15:16] ---
    Okay!
[15:18] ---
    So I can bring back your data, right?
[15:21] ---
    Right! Precisely!
[15:30] ---
    Go to full speed once we leave port.
[15:33] ---
    Follow the forces ahead of us.
[15:34] ---
    Roger!
[15:46] ---
    The Elmeth could be more powerful
    than your Gelgoog, Captain Char.
[15:50] ---
    I'm surprised to hear that from
    seasoned warriors like yourselves.
[15:54] ---
    We witnessed the abilities of a
    Newtype for the first time.
[15:59] ---
    With that kind of power, Ensign Lalah
    could single-handedly...
[16:02] ---
    ...wipe out an entire combat team
    in a matter of minutes.
[16:06] ---
    When we became aware of this...
    it seemed ludicrous to risk our lives!
[16:10] ---
    With a pilot as great as Ensign
    Lalah, there's no need for us common humans!
[16:15] ---
    Are you perhaps envious of Lalah?
[16:17] ---
    Out of the question, sir!
[16:19] ---
    Well, I can't completely rule it out.
[16:22] ---
    But above all, we're truly amazed
    by the power of a Newtype.
[16:27] ---
    I'm prepared to face court-martial.
[16:29] ---
    But all I ask is that you allow us to fight
    behind the Elmeth when it heads out.
[16:34] ---
    Can you handle it, Ensign?
[16:37] ---
    I can understand the Lieutenant's feelings.
[16:40] ---
    Then it's settled.
    Lieutenant, are you satisfied?
[16:44] ---
    Yes, Captain!
[16:46] ---
    We'll reach the 13th Autonomous
    Fleet in approximately 15 minutes!
[16:50] ---
    Right! Attention, all hands!
    Eat now while you still have time!
[16:54] ---
    We'll be having combat rations from now on!
[16:57] ---
    Huh! So this junk isn't combat rations?
    Could've fooled me!
[17:04] ---
    I see.
[17:06] ---
    This is amazing. But I...
[17:08] ---
    Amuro, got a minute?
[17:10] ---
    Sure!
[17:11] ---
    Well, how is it?
[17:13] ---
    It's great, but the faster movements
    put an enormous strain on the parts.
[17:18] ---
    It's very hard to find a good balance.
[17:21] ---
    It'll be okay.
    Have confidence, Amuro.
[17:25] ---
    You really think so?
[17:26] ---
    Of course. You're a Newtype, after all.
[17:30] ---
    People usually tell me
    I'm an old-fashioned type.
[17:34] ---
    Sounds right. You're sentimental
    and not at all far-out, Amuro.
[17:39] ---
    When you phrase it like that
    I don't feel particularly flattered.
[17:50] ---
    Captain Char Aznable
    and Ensign Lalah Sune, reporting.
[17:55] ---
    The main forces of the carrier Dolos...
[17:57] ---
    ...have already been deployed
    on the Granada-A Baoa Qu line.
[18:01] ---
    Captain, you will join my raiding
    force and take command.
[18:04] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[18:05] ---
    I don't like that outfit.
[18:07] ---
    Pardon?
[18:08] ---
    Give the supply corps
    the Ensign's uniform size.
[18:11] ---
    The supply corps keep insisting
    we don't win wars with our clothing.
[18:16] ---
    Make them rush it in my name.
    Her clothes are an eyesore.
[18:20] ---
    So, how was her performance test?
[18:23] ---
    Destroyed two Salamis ships
    in her very first combat.
[18:26] ---
    Lalah and the Elmeth
    are a powerful combination.
[18:30] ---
    Two ships? That's very impressive.
[18:33] ---
    Yes.
[18:34] ---
    The time seems right for the formation of
    a special Newtype combat force.
[18:39] ---
    I'd like to see the Elmeth in action.
[18:57] ---
    That Dr. Mosk is really something.
[19:00] ---
    Oh no. It's more Amuro.
[19:02] ---
    Huh?
[19:03] ---
    The way he pilots the Gundam...
    perhaps Newtypes do exist.
[19:09] ---
    "Newtypes"?
[19:11] ---
    "Newtypes"...
[19:17] ---
    Mr. Bright! Amuro's...!
[19:18] ---
    Hm? A fleet battle?
[19:23] ---
    It's our rendezvous point!
[19:25] ---
    The main fleet
    must've encountered the enemy!
[19:27] ---
    Who's the enemy?
[19:28] ---
    Unable to confirm!
[19:31] ---
    Prepare for fleet battle!
    Gundam and all other units, take off!
[19:34] ---
    The enemy force is huge!
[19:42] ---
    We lost another ally...
[19:44] ---
    It's calling me!
[19:48] ---
    It's calling me!
[19:50] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[19:53] ---
    I'm going for it!
[19:56] ---
    One is Char...
[19:58] ---
    And the other... Who is it?
[20:04] ---
    Char!
[20:07] ---
    Char! Char! I have you now!
[20:08] ---
    Char! I have you now!
[20:09] ---
    Captain!
[20:13] ---
    It's okay, throw everything away now
    Ima wa ii no sa subete wo sutete
[20:16] ---
    What?! It's getting in my way!
[20:16] ---
    All alone, I'm left as a corpse...
    hitori nokotta shikabane no ore ga
[20:17] ---
    All alone, I'm left as a corpse...
    hitori nokotta shikabane no ore ga
[20:18] ---
    ...on this battlefield...
    Kono senjou de
[20:20] ---

[21:01] ---
    You hurt the Captain!

    Char!
[21:19] ---
    Captain!
[21:22] ---
    Captain! Please eject now!
[21:24] ---
    It's all right.
    The Gelgoog won't explode from this.
[21:27] ---
    But still...!
[21:29] ---
    I'm going to cling onto the Elmeth!
    Continue your attack!
[21:31] ---
    I'm continuing. But...
[21:34] ---
    But what? What is it?!
[21:37] ---
    My head feels heavy.
    Like something is pressing down on it.
[21:41] ---
    What's this?!
[21:47] ---
    You're a bad person.
[21:49] ---
    What?
[21:50] ---
    You're a bad person, bullying Char like this!
[21:56] ---
    Who are you calling bad?!
[22:20] ---
    The White Base made its rendezvous
    with the 13th Autonomous Fleet flying ahead.
[22:26] ---
    However, by this time, the fleet had
    already lost three Salamis-class ships.
[22:32] ---
    Two of these were destroyed by the Elmeth.
[22:35] ---
    In total, Lalah had destroyed
    four vessels in one day.
[22:41] ---
    This was an unprecedented accomplishment.
[22:48] ---
    But if Lalah's headaches have
    something to do with the Gundam pilot...
[22:55] ---
    ...that could definitely complicate matters.
[22:59] ---
    And now, the battlefield shifts
    toward the far side of the moon.
[23:18] ---
    The fierce battle between
    the Gundam and the Elmeth...
[23:20] ---
    ...shows Amuro and Lalah a vision of
    the destiny toward which they must move.
[23:25] ---
    But the battlefield engulfs them,
    then spreads to enormous proportions.
[23:31] ---
    Lalah will perish.

    Amuro, it's your homeland
