[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!
[01:32] ---
    A half-century has passed
    since humanity began moving...
[01:37] ---
    ...its burgeoning population into space.
[01:41] ---
    These gigantic space cities
    orbiting the Earth...
[01:45] ---
    ...became a second home to humanity...
[01:48] ---
    ...where people were born and raised...
[01:52] ---
    ...and where they died.
[01:59] ---
    It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century.
[02:02] ---
    The furthest space city from Earth,
    known as Side 3,
[02:05] ---
    proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon.
[02:07] ---
    It launched a war of independence
    against the Earth Federation.
[02:13] ---
    In roughly one month of fighting,
    the Principality of Zeon...
[02:17] ---
    ...and the Federation Forces caused
    the deaths of half the total population.
[02:21] ---
    Humanity was horrified by its own actions.
[02:29] ---
    Escape From Luna II
[02:34] ---
    Escape From Luna II
    Escape from Luna II!
[02:48] ---
    Madagascar, locked onto beacon.
[02:50] ---
    Docking speed, maximum minus 2.
[02:52] ---
    Attitude, steady.
[02:57] ---
    Madagascar, entering port.
[02:58] ---
    Docking crews, prepare to secure the ship.
[03:00] ---
    Weapons loaders, on the double!
[03:02] ---
    Recreation services, where are you?
[03:04] ---
    Are you ready to receive our troops?
[03:07] ---
    Pier Number 2, ready!
[03:09] ---
    Secondary combat equipment will be
    loaded as soon as Madagascar is docked!
[03:14] ---
    Roger!
[03:17] ---
    We have over 100 civilians with us.
[03:20] ---
    They had no choice but to leave
    Side 7 when it was attacked.
[03:24] ---
    We'd love to take them if we could.
[03:26] ---
    But the base at Luna II has been in
    a constant state of emergency.
[03:31] ---
    We finally arrive at a friendly base and
    we can't even rest? How can this be?
[03:36] ---
    I will answer that question.
[03:41] ---
    I'm Wakkein,
    Commandant of the Luna II forces.
[03:44] ---
    Are you Bright Noa?
[03:45] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:51] ---
    The refugees are exhausted.
[03:54] ---
    I'd like to find them somewhere to rest.
[03:56] ---
    We've been pursued by the Zeons,
    so there's been no time for resting.
[04:02] ---
    We cannot accommodate civilians here.
[04:05] ---
    Why not?
[04:11] ---
    All of you, please remain where you are now.
[04:14] ---
    After we consult with
    Federation Forces HQ,
[04:16] ---
    you will be sent to Earth
    immediately on a suitable ship.
[04:21] ---
    To Earth?!
[04:22] ---
    We want to go back to Side 7!
    To Earth?!
[04:22] ---
    We want to go back to Side 7!
[04:26] ---
    We will be separating the following
    from the regular refugees.
[04:29] ---
    Bright Noa...
[04:31] ---
    Mirai Yashima...
[04:32] ---
    Ryu Jose...
[04:34] ---
    Sayla Mass...
[04:35] ---
    Kai Shiden...
[04:37] ---
    Hayato Kobayashi...
[04:38] ---
    Amuro Ray...
[04:40] ---
    What's your problem? Leave them alone!
[04:42] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
    What's your problem? Leave them alone!
[04:43] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
[04:44] ---
    Stop it! Please.
[04:46] ---
    Please give us an explanation, sir!
[04:49] ---
    Cadets and civilians have taken control of
    Triple-A classified technology.
[04:53] ---
    Namely, the White Base and the Gundam.
[04:57] ---
    All of you can expect to face
    a military court martial.
[05:01] ---
    The White Base shall be seized.
[05:03] ---
    The Gundam shall be secured and
    returned to military control.
[05:06] ---
    That is all.
[05:07] ---
    That's not fair!
[05:08] ---
    You haven't even looked into
    what happened at Side 7.
[05:11] ---
    How can you say things like that?
[05:26] ---
    Captain. I'm Wakkein, Commandant of Luna II.
[05:30] ---
    Take care of repairs to the White Base,
[05:33] ---
    also, the children...
[05:36] ---
    Leave the rest to me, Captain.
[05:38] ---
    You must rest well and recover.
[05:51] ---
    We'll deal with the Guntank
    after we secure the Gundam.
[05:54] ---
    What'll we do with it?
    It's all in pieces.
[05:57] ---
    Just secure it for now.
    Wakkein's pretty strict about his orders.
[06:01] ---
    A Musai will be coming.
[06:02] ---
    I doubt that Char the Red Comet
    will give up his pursuit.
[06:06] ---
    If you secure the Gundam now...
[06:08] ---
    You're in no position to dictate our strategy.
[06:12] ---
    You don't know how dangerous
    the Red Comet is!
[06:15] ---
    As you're not even a regular soldier,
    I can see how you'd feel that way.
[06:20] ---
    However, the Red Comet is a renowned soldier.
[06:24] ---
    He wouldn't challenge Luna II with
    a light cruiser like the Musai...
[06:28] ---
    That would simply be foolish.
[06:31] ---
    Now move it!
[06:54] ---
    You're sure Luna II's radar can't detect us?
[06:56] ---
    Yes. The Minovsky particle density is a little low,
    but we should be okay.
[07:03] ---
    It feels strange to be right in front of them,
    yet remain undetected.
[07:07] ---
    Now that technology is so advanced,
[07:10] ---
    we're back to visual-range combat,
    just like in the olden days.
[07:13] ---
    Lieutenant Commander, shall we take out Luna II?
[07:16] ---
    I didn't know you were so bold, Dren.
[07:19] ---
    Luna II has extensive defense facilities.
[07:22] ---
    Your average military strategist would never
    expect us to attack with a mere Musai.
[07:27] ---
    And that's why we're going to do it?
[07:29] ---
    I have a plan, Dren.
[07:32] ---
    I'll be looking forward to it, sir.
[07:48] ---
    Could that girl be...
[07:50] ---
    ...my long-lost younger sister,
    whom I last saw 10 years ago?
[07:53] ---
    No...
[07:55] ---
    She's too strong... to be Artesia.
[08:01] ---
    Drop it!
[08:04] ---
    Move, and I'll shoot!
[08:23] ---
    That's right...
    Artesia is much gentler.
[08:28] ---
    We will infiltrate the enemy in normal suits.
[08:30] ---
    What?!
[08:31] ---
    Our first objective...
[08:33] ---
    ...is to capture the Federation's mobile suit.
[08:36] ---
    Secondly,
[08:39] ---
    we are to capture the enemy's new
    warship, codenamed Trojan Horse.
[08:44] ---
    We will only destroy them if
    we can't capture them. That is all!
[08:53] ---
    Your meals.
[08:55] ---
    Wait!
[08:57] ---
    Take me to Commandant Wakkein!
[08:58] ---
    I think it's a waste of time, Mr. Bright.
[09:00] ---
    But you can't guarantee that Char won't attack.
[09:03] ---
    I know, but...
[09:05] ---
    In any case, we can't think
    on an empty stomach.
[09:08] ---
    You gotta eat when you have the chance.
[09:10] ---
    Or you won't have energy when you need it.
    Even if you're just running away.
[09:17] ---
    It's just as Kai Shiden says, Amuro.
[09:22] ---
    Eating meals is like
    loading ammo into your gun.
[09:26] ---
    A soldier's gotta eat even if he doesn't want to.
[10:24] ---
    Shall we go for it, Lt. Commander?
[10:26] ---
    Wait.
[10:27] ---
    Look.
[10:28] ---
    Oh?
[10:30] ---
    This is...
[10:33] ---
    ...an infra-red security system.
[10:38] ---
    Deploy mines without triggering the alarm.
[10:40] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:42] ---
    You just have to remember there are two settings
    in the block connection lever.
[10:46] ---
    This is the biggest difference
    between the Gundam and Zeon's Zaku.
[10:49] ---
    But what makes the Gundam
    so much more superior than the Zaku?
[10:54] ---
    Fighting ability.
[10:56] ---
    Unlike previous Zaku-type mobile suits,
[10:58] ---
    the Gundam stores combat case
    studies in its memory.
[11:01] ---
    It stores case studies?
[11:04] ---
    Does that mean that the
    more the Gundam fights,
[11:07] ---
    the more it learns
    and the stronger it becomes?
[11:10] ---
    That's right.
[11:11] ---
    For a complete novice at piloting, like me...
[11:14] ---
    ...to be able to fight against
    a veteran soldier like Char...
[11:17] ---
    It has less to do with my own skills...
[11:19] ---
    ...and more to do with the capabilities of
    the Gundam's learning computer.
[11:24] ---
    You're being too humble!
[11:42] ---
    The centrifugal gravity system is out!
[11:44] ---
    Seems like the power generator was hit.
[11:48] ---
    It's Char!
[12:00] ---
    You're saying they snuck in under our radar?
[12:02] ---
    Yes, sir. We believe they're special
    forces wearing normal suits.
[12:07] ---
    It's just as Bright said.
[12:13] ---
    Deploy the Magellan!
[12:30] ---
    Open this door!
[12:32] ---
    They've probably forgotten all about us.
[12:35] ---
    But at this rate...
[12:37] ---
    Damn it!
[12:39] ---
    Hm? It opened.
[12:41] ---
    What?
[12:42] ---
    I get it! There's no power,
    so the electronic lock doesn't work!
[12:46] ---
    Let's go!
[12:50] ---
    Where are Ms. Mirai and Ms. Sayla?
[12:51] ---
    They should be in the room next to us.
[12:55] ---
    Mirai! Sayla!
[12:57] ---
    Bright!
[13:02] ---
    Magellan, emergency launch!
[13:04] ---
    Release the docking locks, fast!
[13:14] ---
    The Zeons have begun their attack,
[13:17] ---
    so why haven't you evacuated
    us to a safer location?
[13:20] ---
    We have no orders from the Commandant.
[13:23] ---
    Then... Are you telling us
    to stay here and die?
[13:26] ---
    N-No, that's not what I'm saying...
[13:31] ---
    Then please contact the Commandant
    and do something!
[13:34] ---
    But the Commandant's busy
    and doesn't have time to...
[13:39] ---
    What do you think you're doing,
    you brat?! Get over here!
[13:45] ---
    We did it!
[13:47] ---
    Gather the crew together.
[13:48] ---
    We're moving the White Base out!
[13:51] ---
    Amuro, release the seals on the Gundam!
[13:52] ---
    Right!
    Amuro, release the seals on the Gundam!
[13:53] ---
    Right!
[14:02] ---
    The Magellan is launching.
[14:07] ---
    Let's go.
[15:01] ---
    Damn! It was a trap!
[15:08] ---
    What? The Magellan's blocked the exit?
[15:11] ---
    Start engines! Engineers, on the double!
[15:14] ---
    Ryu! Kai! Amuro!
[15:16] ---
    Have you freed the Gundam?!
[15:18] ---
    No need to yell. We just started.
[15:24] ---
    Sayla, the refugees?
[15:26] ---
    They're moving into the gravity block.
[15:28] ---
    Fraw Bow is directing them.
[15:30] ---
    Good. I'll go check on the Gundam.
[15:33] ---
    Mirai! Once the engines reach critical,
    advance the ship slowly!
[15:36] ---
    Yes, sir!
[15:43] ---
    Are you injured, Commandant?
[15:45] ---
    I'm all right. It's just a scratch.
[15:54] ---
    Who's aboard the White Base?
    Get this ship alongside!
[16:06] ---
    What are you men doing there?
[16:10] ---
    I thought I made it clear that
    the White Base is off-limits!
[16:13] ---
    Only the Gundam can fight against Char!
[16:16] ---
    I order you to leave at once!
[16:25] ---
    I'm prepared to be charged with
    treason, Commandant Wakkein.
[16:28] ---
    Is your enemy the Zeon forces?
[16:30] ---
    Or is it us?
[16:33] ---
    Why you...!
[16:38] ---
    I'm not going to lecture you about
    the importance of military regulations...
[16:42] ---
    But you must obey the orders you are given!
[16:44] ---
    You go on about military regulations,
    but what's the point?
[16:47] ---
    I don't care if soldiers die by those rules.
[16:49] ---
    But isn't it wrong for civilians to lose lives
    as a result, Commandant Wakkein?
[16:55] ---
    W-What?!
[16:55] ---
    Wakkein...
[16:57] ---
    Captain Paolo!
[17:01] ---
    I have something to say, Wakkein...
[17:04] ---
    The White Base, the Gundam,
    the Guncannon and Guntank...
[17:09] ---
    ...were considered top secret until now...
[17:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:14] ---
    That's why...
[17:16] ---
    It may be unfortunate, but these people are
    more adept at using those weapons.
[17:21] ---
    They have experienced two actual
    battles, and so we should...
[17:25] ---
    But Captain...?!
[17:27] ---
    That's right. They are essentially amateurs.
[17:30] ---
    As Commandant, you must give them...
[17:33] ---
    ...all the support they need to fight.
[17:36] ---
    I'll take responsibility.
[17:48] ---
    I understand, Captain.
    I'll do what you say.
[18:09] ---
    Matthew! Fix! Listen carefully...
[18:11] ---
    We enter the port, and take both the
    Trojan Horse ship and mobile suit.
[18:15] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:16] ---
    Roger that!
[18:19] ---
    Let's do it!
[18:22] ---
    It's Char!
[19:20] ---
    Commandant Wakkein.
[19:22] ---
    Unless we get rid of the Magellan,
[19:24] ---
    the White Base cannot leave port.
[19:26] ---
    At this rate, the Luna II fleet will be wiped
    out without a chance to fight.
[19:40] ---
    It's the Musai!
[19:47] ---
    Get rid of the Magellan.
[19:50] ---
    Commandant...
[19:52] ---
    Secure the White Base at this position.
[19:54] ---
    All other ships take defensive positions.
    Main cannons stand by!
[19:57] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:09] ---
    Lower the bulkheads!
[20:28] ---
    Aim for the Magellan's
    thermonuclear reactor.
[20:32] ---
    All hands, prepare for impact!
[20:33] ---
    Amuro, get away from the passage!
[20:35] ---
    Huh?
[20:36] ---
    Fire!
[21:08] ---
    Char...
[21:11] ---
    Just what kind of man is he?
[21:20] ---
    We did it, Captain!
[21:46] ---
    Commandant.
[21:49] ---
    I think it's best that we leave them alone,
    at least until they get to Earth.
[21:54] ---
    Just as Captain Paolo said.
[21:57] ---
    Commandant...
[21:59] ---
    Just as the war with Zeon
    gets more and more difficult,
[22:02] ---
    we keep losing those people
    who have much to teach us.
[22:07] ---
    These are cold times to be alive, aren't they?
[22:28] ---
    Captain.
[22:29] ---
    You can rest assured we will
    deliver your White Base to Earth.
[22:58] ---
    Father...
[23:00] ---
    Where have you gone?
[23:18] ---
    If a spacecraft relies on gravity alone,
[23:20] ---
    it will burn up during re-entry
    into Earth's atmosphere.
[23:23] ---
    Char chooses that moment
    to attack the White Base.
[23:27] ---
    Both sides face tremendous danger.
[23:30] ---
    Will they set foot upon the Earth?
[23:33] ---
    Mobile Suit Gundam. Next episode...

[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...
