[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...
[00:35] ---
    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!
[00:55] ---
    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] ---
    A half-century has passed
    since humanity began moving...
[01:38] ---
    ...its burgeoning population into space.
[01:42] ---
    These gigantic space cities
    orbiting the Earth...
[01:44] ---
    ...became a second home to humanity...
[01:47] ---
    ...where people were born and raised...
[01:51] ---
    ...and where they died.
[01:59] ---
    It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century.
[02:02] ---
    The space city Side 3 proclaimed
    itself the Principality of Zeon.
[02:06] ---
    It launched a war of independence
    against the Earth Federation.
[02:10] ---
    During this war, the Principality of
    Zeon and the Federation...
[02:13] ---
    ...caused the deaths of half the total population.
[02:18] ---
    Humanity was horrified by its own actions.
[02:29] ---
    Re-entry to Earth
[02:34] ---
    Re-entry to Earth
[03:00] ---
    Here's some soap and a towel.
[03:03] ---
    Here you go. You'll be all refreshed
    when you step onto the Earth.
[03:07] ---
    Amuro?
[03:07] ---
    Come on! You've gotta fix it!
[03:10] ---
    I-I'm sure it can be fixed...
[03:11] ---
    Oh, Amuro...
[03:13] ---
    Let's see...
[03:14] ---
    Could I take a look?
[03:16] ---
    Can you fix it?
[03:17] ---
    Please let me try.
[03:19] ---
    Can you really?
[03:20] ---
    Thanks so much.
[03:22] ---
    Ever since he lost his parents,
[03:24] ---
    he does nothing but play with this all day.
[03:27] ---
    They were lost in the war?
[03:29] ---
    In the One Week Battle.
    How about yourself?
[03:33] ---
    My mother should still be on Earth.
[03:35] ---
    My father went missing at Side 7.
[03:38] ---
    Here.
[03:39] ---
    Yay!
[03:46] ---
    When we get to Earth,
    I want to take him to where I grew up.
[03:52] ---
    I never thought I'd be able
    to set foot on Earth again.
[03:56] ---
    Before I came to Side 7...
[03:58] ---
    ...I had a coffee plantation
    in South America.
[04:00] ---
    Ever seen these before? Coffee beans.
[04:03] ---
    When I get back to Earth...
[04:05] ---
    ...I'm just going to stay put.
[04:07] ---
    Even if the Zeons were to invade...
[04:09] ---
    Even if the Earth Federation
    big shots order me to leave.
[04:14] ---
    I want to be buried on Earth.
[04:17] ---
    Atmospheric entry in 25 minutes.
[04:19] ---
    Think you can handle it, Mirai?
[04:21] ---
    I did an atmospheric entry
    once in a space glider.
[04:25] ---
    But that time, I was able to use
    terrestrial communications networks.
[04:28] ---
    And it was a totally different craft.
[04:31] ---
    The basic navigation is the same.
[04:32] ---
    Just follow the Salamis's lead.
[04:34] ---
    I'm just worried because...
[04:36] ---
    ...I can't believe that Char has
    simply gone away.
[04:39] ---
    Mirai, I want you to concentrate
    entirely on the atmospheric entry.
[04:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:44] ---
    Hey, kid! Do you read me?
[04:46] ---
    Yes, Lt. Reed.
[04:48] ---
    Are you prepared for atmospheric entry?
[04:50] ---
    We'll be in the Salamis's re-entry capsule.
[04:54] ---
    We'll be going faster than your
    vessel, so don't fall behind.
[04:57] ---
    Yes, sir. Roger that.
[04:59] ---
    Mirai, switch to auto-pilot for entry.
[05:03] ---
    Make all preparations for entry.
[05:05] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:06] ---
    Char's Musai?
[05:07] ---
    Still there. But a ship is approaching it.
[05:10] ---
    What? Is Char trying to take on supplies again?
[05:14] ---
    Wait a minute.
    If they're getting re-supplied now,
[05:18] ---
    maybe they've given up the chase.
[05:36] ---
    Fortunately, the three new Zakus
    reached us in time.
[05:40] ---
    We enter the atmosphere in 20 minutes.
[05:42] ---
    Launching an attack with this kind
    of timing is unprecedented.
[05:46] ---
    If you're pulled in by Earth's gravity,
    and atmospheric friction begins,
[05:49] ---
    even a Zaku will burn up
    in an instant. However,
[05:53] ---
    since the enemy's attention...
[05:55] ---
    ...is completely focused on the entry,
[05:57] ---
    this is our chance to attack with the Zakus.
[05:59] ---
    First objective, the Trojan Horse.
[06:01] ---
    Second objective, the enemy mobile suit.
[06:04] ---
    We have less than 2 minutes for combat,
[06:06] ---
    but I'm sure you're capable
    of carrying out this operation.
[06:10] ---
    Good luck!
[06:12] ---
    Those going to Earth will transfer
    to the re-entry capsule.
[06:15] ---
    As for the Salamis itself,
[06:17] ---
    it will return to Luna II
    once the capsule is launched.
[06:20] ---
    Camilla, are you confident
    you can outrun the Musai?
[06:23] ---
    I can't say that I'm confident.
    But we can hope for the best.
[06:27] ---
    According to our data,
    the Musai has docked with the Sodon.
[06:30] ---
    Either it's being re-supplied,
    or there's been an emergency.
[06:33] ---
    I doubt it will come after us.
[06:35] ---
    You're always so optimistic.
[06:37] ---
    Yes, sir. I believe that's why I'm still alive.
[06:41] ---
    Well, I must prepare to descend to Earth.
[06:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:46] ---
    Standby with missiles.
[06:48] ---
    Yes, sir!
[06:49] ---
    Will Char follow us, I wonder.
[06:51] ---
    I doubt it, sir.
[06:56] ---
    Salamis capsule is launched.
[06:58] ---
    The White Base will follow the capsule.
[07:09] ---
    Attention, White Base personnel.
[07:10] ---
    The ship will enter the
    atmosphere in 8 minutes.
[07:14] ---
    Please be seated.
[07:16] ---
    Remain calm, even if there's turbulence.
[07:18] ---
    Combat personnel and mechanics
    stand by at your stations.
[07:22] ---
    We may have to deploy the Gundam.
[07:25] ---
    Mechanics, be on alert.
[07:27] ---
    Enemies!
[07:31] ---
    I've got a visual. Maximum magnification.
[07:33] ---
    Contact estimated in 34 seconds!
[07:36] ---
    Open the hatch!
    Launch the Gundam immediately!
[07:44] ---
    Amuro, return to the White Base
    after 4 minutes. No exceptions.
[07:48] ---
    Roger.
[07:49] ---
    After all, Ms. Sayla,
    I don't want to burn up either.
[07:52] ---
    Four Zakus to stern, R, 3 degrees.
[07:55] ---
    Four Zakus?!
[07:57] ---
    But Char shouldn't have any Zakus left.
[07:59] ---
    Isn't that right, Ms. Sayla?
[08:00] ---
    You have to face the facts.
[08:02] ---
    Can the White Base back me up?
[08:04] ---
    Kai and Ryu will cover you with
    the rear missiles and machine guns.
[08:07] ---
    Just watch your altitude.
[08:09] ---
    How can I watch my altitude
    in the middle of combat?!
[08:13] ---
    You can do it.
[08:15] ---
    Don't flatter me.
[08:27] ---
    There they are.
[08:31] ---
    The enemy's launched its mobile suit, too.
[08:33] ---
    Give me cover, Dren.
[08:35] ---
    We'll split into two, and then attack.
[08:38] ---
    Roger.
[08:40] ---
    Launching re-entry capsule.
[08:42] ---
    Ready! Launch!
[08:47] ---
    Musai!
[08:48] ---
    Launch missiles!
[08:51] ---
    Missiles behind you!
    Lieutenant Reed, please descend!
[08:56] ---
    Can't we return?
[08:57] ---
    Impossible! We'll just be shot down!
[09:04] ---
    They're too far.
[09:08] ---
    Second wave of missiles! Evade!
[09:12] ---
    Why haven't the rear defensive
    missiles been fired?!
[09:15] ---
    Stay calm, Bright. No one's used to this.
[09:20] ---
    Why aren't you firing back?!
[09:22] ---
    I was never trained to operate missiles!
[09:26] ---
    You see?
[09:28] ---
    Dammit!
[09:29] ---
    Do something if you don't want to die!
    There should be a manual somewhere!
[09:37] ---
    Grandpa!
[09:38] ---
    Don't worry. The young man who
    fixed your car will get the enemy.
[09:43] ---
    You're right...
[09:45] ---
    This time I'll match Char, move for move.
[09:47] ---
    How many times has this been, Amuro?!
[09:52] ---
    I'm not letting you near the White Base.
[09:59] ---
    What?!
[10:05] ---
    Char!
[10:10] ---
    Amuro, don't get too distracted by Char.
[10:13] ---
    The Zakus are after the Salamis capsule.
[10:14] ---
    Roger!
[10:18] ---
    I don't like turning my back on Char, but...
[10:22] ---
    You idiot!
[10:27] ---
    My shield!
[10:28] ---
    Where's Char?!
[10:32] ---
    I won't let you!
[10:34] ---
    There!
[10:38] ---
    Oh no!
[10:39] ---
    The spare bazooka ammo...!
[10:41] ---
    Ms. Sayla, can you send me the beam rifle?
[10:43] ---
    Impossible. I can't launch the rifle now.
[10:47] ---
    But I'll ask the mechanics.
[10:48] ---
    Take the left machine gun!
[10:50] ---
    What?! But I...
[10:51] ---
    I've never fired one before either!
[10:57] ---
    Ryu! Hayato!
    The Zakus are too close for missile fire.
[11:00] ---
    Use the machine guns!
[11:02] ---
    Roger!
[11:06] ---
    Char!
[11:07] ---
    Amuro! We can only send you
    the Gundam Hammer right now!
[11:10] ---
    That's fine!
[11:11] ---
    Roger! I'll let you know when we launch it.
[11:14] ---
    In front! Amuro!
[11:15] ---
    I see him!
[11:19] ---
    He's got vulcan guns in there!
[11:31] ---
    No! No! Lt. Commander Char!
[11:33] ---
    Lt. Commander Char! Help me!
[11:35] ---
    Lt. Commander Char! Sir!
[11:45] ---
    I can't hit it.
    Are the Vulcan barrels misaligned?
[11:48] ---
    Amuro!
[11:50] ---
    We're launching the Gundam Hammer, okay?
[11:57] ---
    The relative speed is too fast...
    Can I catch it?!
[12:00] ---
    Char!
[12:02] ---
    This is it!
[12:10] ---
    Damn you, Char!
[12:36] ---
    Damn! I've lost my spare!
[12:40] ---
    Our approach angle's too deep!
    Can we still do it?!
[12:42] ---
    Can't say for sure, sir! However...
[12:47] ---
    The ceiling...!
[12:49] ---
    Lt. Reed, your normal suit!
[12:51] ---
    Hurry! We're decompressing!
[12:54] ---
    Get the normal suit sealing tape!
[12:57] ---
    Something's on fire! Put it out!
[12:59] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:02] ---
    Lieutenant, are you injured?
[13:04] ---
    Focus on the suit! The wound will heal!
[13:07] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:08] ---
    Can't you be more careful?!
[13:10] ---
    The Salamis capsule's been hit!
[13:13] ---
    Can they still attempt atmospheric entry?
[13:15] ---
    I don't know!
[13:16] ---
    Mr. Bright! At this rate, the capsule
    will burn up from the inside!
[13:21] ---
    I understand, sir.
    The White Base will bring you in.
[13:23] ---
    Please...!
[13:24] ---
    Sayla, tell Amuro to draw away the two Zakus.
[13:28] ---
    That's impossible!
[13:29] ---
    He's got his hands full fighting Char!
[13:31] ---
    Accelerating by 10%.
    We'll move in front of the capsule.
[13:35] ---
    Omur! We're bringing in the
    Salamis capsule. Get ready!
[13:38] ---
    Kai! Ryu! Provide anti-air cover!
[13:45] ---
    The bastards are moving too fast!
[13:47] ---
    Hatch is open.
    Salamis capsule, do you read?
[13:50] ---
    We'll use the laser lock.
[13:52] ---
    It'll move automatically once locked.
[13:54] ---
    Roger!
[13:55] ---
    I just hope they can pull this off.
[13:57] ---
    Activating laser lock!
[14:05] ---
    Crown, what are you doing?
[14:07] ---
    By now, you should know where
    the enemy is firing from.
[14:09] ---
    Approach and hit it.
[14:11] ---
    You must use the Zaku's full potential!
[14:13] ---
    But sir, the barrage is too intense...!
[14:16] ---
    This is nothing.
[14:17] ---
    Target and hit them from below.
[14:19] ---
    Kom! Can you keep up with me?
[14:21] ---
    Yes, Lt. Commander! No problem!
[14:24] ---
    It's only the Zaku's right arm that's dead.
[14:26] ---
    I can use the heat hawk with my left arm!
[14:29] ---
    Excellent. You've managed well.
[14:32] ---
    We'll hit the enemy's mobile suit.
[14:34] ---
    Amuro! A Zaku's moving in
    below the White Base! Get him!
[14:37] ---
    What's the situation?
[14:39] ---
    Not good, sir.
[14:42] ---
    Damage on starboard!
[14:44] ---
    Fire the starboard machine guns!
[14:46] ---
    Deploy wall film to the breach!
    Hurry!
[14:49] ---
    Block 4, wall film! Anybody there?!
[14:59] ---
    I want to go and fight them too!
[15:01] ---
    This is a war, you know!
[15:03] ---
    I'm not afraid!
[15:04] ---
    It's really scary!
[15:05] ---
    I'm not afraid!
[15:06] ---
    Where are the side machine gun turrets?
[15:08] ---
    Should be in Number 35!
[15:10] ---
    The one on starboard aims forward!
[15:12] ---
    Let's do it!
[15:21] ---
    He's not letting me get up above him!
[15:27] ---
    This pilot's improving rapidly!
[15:32] ---
    Well done, Kom!
[15:43] ---
    Don't underestimate us!
[15:56] ---
    Kom!
[15:57] ---
    No time left.
[15:59] ---
    Amuro, get back to the White Base.
    You're over the time limit.
[16:02] ---
    Roger, Ms. Sayla! But first...
[16:05] ---
    This is it, Char!
[16:09] ---
    Crown, get back to Dren's capsule!
[16:11] ---
    Crown! Crown! Can't you hear me?
[16:14] ---
    Entering atmosphere!
    Raise defense shutters!
[16:16] ---
    Bring the Gundam in from the rear hatch.
[16:19] ---
    Securing machine gun turrets!
[16:22] ---
    Amuro, enter from the White Base
    rear hatch! You're cutting it close!
[16:25] ---
    Roger!
[16:26] ---
    But I still have ammo for the vulcans!
[16:29] ---
    I'll get him first!
[16:34] ---
    Lt. Commander Char!
    Please get in the capsule!
[16:37] ---
    Right. Open the hatch.
[16:39] ---
    Forget it, Crown.
    Even that enemy suit wouldn't risk it.
[16:42] ---
    Head for the capsule now.
[16:46] ---
    Tell Amuro that the Gundam will burn
    up from the atmospheric friction!
[16:50] ---
    Get back here, Amuro! Forget the Zaku!
[16:53] ---
    Mr. Bright...!
[16:55] ---
    My mission here...
[16:56] ---
    ...is to safely deliver the White Base
    and the Gundam to Federation HQ!
[17:01] ---
    Bring the Gundam in!
[17:02] ---
    Tell Amuro that.
[17:03] ---
    This is what happens with amateurs!
[17:05] ---
    But if I hadn't sent the Gundam out,
    they'd have destroyed the White Base.
[17:10] ---
    Please sit down, Lt. Reed. It's not safe.
[17:13] ---
    Bring outer hull cooling system up 3 points.
[17:16] ---
    I'll have you court-martialed! Got that?!
[17:20] ---
    Amuro... Hasn't Amuro returned yet?!
[17:30] ---
    The acceleration... I'm falling too fast!
[17:36] ---
    Where's Crown?
[17:36] ---
    Unfortunately, it's too late to recover him.
[17:39] ---
    L-Lt. Commander Char!
[17:44] ---
    Please help me! I can't slow down!
[17:46] ---
    Lt. Commander Char, help me!
[17:48] ---
    Crown... The Zaku isn't capable
    of atmospheric entry.
[17:53] ---
    I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do...
[17:55] ---
    But Crown, your death will not be in vain.
[17:58] ---
    Because you were able to draw in
    the enemy mobile suit with you,
[18:02] ---
    we can destroy it!
[18:15] ---
    Here it is! Atmospheric entry process!
[18:17] ---
    But can I do it in time?
[18:19] ---
    Attitude adjustment... Cooling shift...
[18:21] ---
    Connecting all circuits!
[18:23] ---
    Heat-proof film!
[18:35] ---
    Incredible!
[18:36] ---
    The armor temperature's gone down!
[18:39] ---
    But how am I going to land?
[18:42] ---
    I can't monitor the Gundam
    due to radio interference.
[18:45] ---
    Amuro! Amuro! Please respond!
[18:48] ---
    Amuro... Amuro!
[18:49] ---
    We can't make contact for a while.
[18:52] ---
    The mobile suit hasn't changed position.
[18:54] ---
    It's not burning up, either!
[18:55] ---
    What can this mean?!
[18:56] ---
    Does it have the ability
    to enter the atmosphere?
[19:01] ---
    It's hard to believe, but...
[19:03] ---
    ...given that the Trojan Horse can
    enter the atmosphere on its own,
[19:07] ---
    it is possible. Unfortunately for us.
[19:15] ---
    Altitude 32... 30...
[19:17] ---
    29... 26... 25... 24...
[19:21] ---
    20... 17...
[19:23] ---
    16... 14...
[19:25] ---
    12... 11...
[19:31] ---
    Is it going to hold up?
[19:37] ---
    When we have radio communications,
    contact Captain Garma of the ground forces.
[19:41] ---
    I think I understand now,
    Lt. Commander Char.
[19:44] ---
    Even if we weren't able to defeat
    the enemy before re-entry...
[19:48] ---
    ...by making them change
    their approach angle,
[19:50] ---
    you're forcing the Trojan Horse
    onto a Zeon-controlled continent.
[19:53] ---
    A brilliant two-stage operation.
[19:55] ---
    War is cruel business.
    I have to plan for every eventuality.
[19:59] ---
    It's Captain Garma.
[20:01] ---
    Well, what is it, Red Comet?
[20:03] ---
    I might have to give up that
    nickname, Captain Garma Zabi.
[20:08] ---
    You're unusually subdued today.
[20:10] ---
    Ever heard of the enemy's Operation V?
[20:12] ---
    I've uncovered it.
[20:15] ---
    What's that?
[20:17] ---
    Thanks to Operation V,
    I've lost eight Zakus.
[20:21] ---
    How terrible. It's that formidable?
[20:25] ---
    I've lured the enemy into your area.
[20:28] ---
    I'm sure it'll be good for your record.
    I'll be there soon.
[20:31] ---
    Well, I'll accept your generous gift.
[20:33] ---
    I'll intercept them with a Gaw attack carrier.
[20:36] ---
    Emergency launch!
[20:37] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:46] ---
    Altitude, 53,000. Decelerating steadily.
    We're resuming level flight.
[20:49] ---
    Good. Amuro! Do you read me? Amuro!
[20:52] ---
    Amuro! The comm should be working now!
[20:54] ---
    Amuro, please answer me! Amuro!
[20:57] ---
    Visuals are back online.
[21:00] ---
    It's the Gundam!
[21:03] ---
    Amuro!
[21:10] ---
    That kid.
[21:11] ---
    I'll have to have a word with him later.
[21:15] ---
    But the Federation can beat
    Zeon with this mobile suit.
[21:26] ---
    Radio comm is back. Returning to ship!
[21:28] ---
    Reception is good.
    Amuro, you can step onto the rear deck.
[21:32] ---
    Roger!
[21:41] ---
    Now look at that, Pelo! That's Earth!
[21:44] ---
    Wow! Is that all land?
[21:47] ---
    And this part over here is called the sea?
[21:50] ---
    That's right. I guess this is the first time
    you've seen the Earth with your own eyes.
[21:55] ---
    It's a natural planet, Pelo,
    made up of land and sea.
[22:06] ---
    This is our projected approach angle.
[22:08] ---
    This is our course up to now.
[22:10] ---
    This doesn't do us any good, Mr. Bright!
[22:13] ---
    I agree. We're deep in Zeon territory.
[22:16] ---
    This is no laughing matter...!
[22:18] ---
    Let me take care of that injury.
[22:20] ---
    Char is a clever strategist.
[22:23] ---
    We were led into a trap by Char.
[22:27] ---
    We have to break through, no matter what!
[22:29] ---
    Enemy aircraft approaching!
[22:30] ---
    What?!
[22:53] ---
    Maybe it's as Char says.
[22:56] ---
    Compared to previous Federation ships,
[22:58] ---
    this one's in a class of its own.
[23:00] ---
    It's the Musai capsule, sir.
[23:02] ---
    Good. Bring him in.
[23:18] ---
    Garma Zabi's forces...
[23:20] ---
    ...pin the White Base close to the ground.
[23:23] ---
    Fighting trained soldiers means
    there's not a moment to spare.
[23:28] ---
    Furthermore,
[23:29] ---
    Earth's gravity presents new
    challenges for Amuro and the crew.
[23:33] ---

    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?
[24:19] ---
    Amuro, do not look back, Amuro...
[24:25] ---
    A man must hide his tears, hide his tears.
[24:29] ---
    Only look to tomorrow, to tomorrow... Forever...
