Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 20 - Hand-to-Hand Combat - full transcript
Mobile Suit Gundam
Rage on! Rage on! Rage on! Gundam!
You must run forth!
If you are still burning
with furious rage...
...You must fight the towering foe!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Bring to bear the rage of justice, Gundam!
Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
Rise once more! Rise once more!
Rise once more! Gundam!
You must seize the power!
Fly toward the galaxy, Gundam!
Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
This is the main base of Captain M'Quve,
who controls Earth's greatest mineral resources.
The Earth Federation...
...is steadily preparing for Operation Odessa,
an attack on this base.
The White Base is continuing westward...
...in order to join this operation. However,
the assault from Ramba Ral's
soldiers is not over yet.
Sorrow and Hatred
One worn-out old Zaku...
...and four Magella Attack gun turrets?
Is that it?
It seems clear that Captain M'Quve
is not being cooperative.
I'm counting on you, Lt. Tachi.
I want to avenge Ral, no matter the cost.
We do also, Miss Hamon.
Who is it?
Lt. Tachi.
The scouts have returned.
Enter.
Excuse me.
The Trojan Horse's back is to the mountains.
That gives us an opportunity to attack.
Yes.
What's the damage to the Trojan Horse?
They're working desperately on repairs,
but they have very few men.
Let's hurry. Carry on with the preparations.
Yes, Miss Hamon.
Let's hurry. Carry on with the preparations.
Yes, Miss Hamon.
It's quite bad.
This ship won't last if we
keep taking hits like this.
And we're low on parts.
Weapons are running low too.
We have to plan resupplies at some point.
Don't complain, Hayato.
We can't predict what shall happen
on the front-lines.
We'll survive using our wits and ingenuity.
Our wits and ingenuity, you say?
Why not use Amuro?
Don't say that.
How are you?
Well, so so...
Ryu, condition poor.
Ryu, condition poor. Ryu, condition poor!
Haro!
It's all right.
Ryu...
Haro really is well made. And honest.
Haro is well.
Ryu, get well soon.
Thank you, Haro.
He's even programmed to be flattering.
Is there anything you want me to do, Ryu?
No, not really.
Do me a favour and tell everyone
I'm getting along well.
Sure...
Tell me... Is it true that Bright
put Amuro back in solitary?
Yes.
Is Amuro the one who's being stubborn?
I'll bet it's Bright.
The Magella Tops have been
rigged to the Cargo.
With the Gallop's spare engine,
it can travel at high speed.
We'll have the Zaku carry
a Magella Top's main gun.
We also have two Samsons.
There are 16 soldiers...
...all loyal men with long
service to Ramba Ral.
Thank you for the excellent preparations.
We came to Earth to avenge
the death of Lord Garma, but...
We have not yet completed the mission.
At first glance, this is a small operation...
...but the enemy is the Federation's most
advanced warship and mobile suits.
The people of Zeon have great expectations of us.
Ramba Ral was...
...such an honourable man that
I may not have deserved him.
If it's to avenge the man who loved me so,
I won't regret dying in the desert.
Those who object to this operation
need not participate.
Ramba Ral won't hold it against you.
Neither shall I.
There is no concern about that, Miss Hamon.
Everyone is committed to the end.
Thank you.
I'm counting on you, Torgan.
Yes, Miss Hamon.
You too, Misaki.
Yes, Miss Hamon.
Illusin, I want you to do your best.
Yes, ma'am. I'll avenge him.
Bright.
Ryu...! Your wounds won't heal
if you're moving around.
It's my rehabilitation.
I should move my body a bit,
or it shan't get better.
Are you all right?
Well... It's about Amuro.
Are you all right?
Well... It's about Amuro.
I can't let him out.
If we act as though we're counting on him,
his head will swell even more.
That's not true. Right, Miss Mirai?
Right. But there are rules...
Even a wild tiger will realise his
position if you leave him in a cage.
So, you'll wait
until Amuro figures things out.
Sounds like making excuses to me.
I'm making excuses? How so?
Men can weave words.
So while I'm still well enough...
Ryu, what are you saying?!
You've never really talked
to Amuro, have you, Bright?
The tiger will never be tamed then.
Call Sunmalo or Sayla.
Return Ryu to his bed.
Right.
If that boy gets in the way...
My dear,
please protect me.
All right. Now we just have to
adjust the magnetic pressure.
You're a pilot, and getting enough sleep
is an important part of your job.
Who's there?
W-Were you awake...?
Mr. Ryu?!
Sorry to wake you up.
Are you okay?
Don't worry about me.
Hey, I was wondering...
Now that Bright put you back in solitary,
don't you resent him for it?
Me?
I understand Mr. Bright's decision.
I'm not angry.
That's all right, then.
You know, Bright...
He's afraid of you,
comparing you to a wild tiger.
Funny, isn't it?
A wild tiger...?
Amuro, I have hopes for you.
Are you all right?!
I'm fine.
Mr. Ryu!
Why are you up and about?!
Fraw Bow, this way!
He was over here at Amuro's.
Oh, Mr. Ryu!
Miss Sayla!
Is Mr. Ryu going to manage?!
He'll be fine.
Don't worry about him, Amuro.
It's a drill attack.
A tried and true method
of charging an enemy.
Our first strike hits what seems
to be the enemy's weakest point.
We focus on just one spot, ignoring all else.
Our survival shall not be certain, but...
...we can surely destroy the Trojan Horse.
This is perfect. Blasted Trojan Horse!
An enemy?
Oh no! They're behind us!
Enemy attack!
From where? Where's the enemy?
I won't let you!
They want to take down the White Base
with one Zaku?! That's some nerve!
Mr. Job John, can't you increase the speed?
It's not running well.
The damage from the direct hit it received
the other day hasn't been fixed.
Mr. Kai!
It's not just a Zaku?!
It's no use! The shaft is broken!
The engine's running, but...
Hayato! What do we do?!
What do we do?
We can't give much support from here!
Are you all right? Hang on, Ryu!
N-Never mind me!
Just get Amuro out of the brig!
I'll take responsibility!
I understand!
But you have to promise to stay in bed, Ryu!
I know, Miss Sayla.
Bright...
Sayla! Where have you been?
Hurry to the bridge!
Give me the key number to Amuro's cell.
What?!
Ryu's been here, talking to him.
He says he'll take responsibility,
so please send Amuro out!
That meddling...
I'll take responsibility too.
Please give me the key number.
It's F-36 type.
Ryu did this for you.
Do your best, for Ryu's sake as well.
All right! I'm going!
You Zeons! I'll get you all!
T-There are more of them?!
Trojan Horse.
Just as we planned, you can't move freely.
I'll show you the tenacity
of the Ramba Ral team.
Numbers 1, 2, and 3 show
no increase in power output!
It doesn't matter! Mirai! Let's take off!
Roger!
Sayla, will the Gundam be able to launch?
Yes, he should be ready to go!
Gundam, are you ready to launch?
The mechanics are all injured,
SO repairs haven't...
As long as it moves, it's fine!
Amuro!
As long as it moves, it's fine!
Amuro!
I'll have to launch in the Core Fighter!
Because of the repairs,
it's not docked with the Gundam.
I understand, Amuro.
White Base may be taking off soon.
Do you copy, Amuro?
No problem!
Bright! Mirai! The Core Fighter
is launching! All right?
It'll happen even if I veto it.
Right, Sayla?
Mr. Bright...!
We have no chance without the Gundam.
Shal leave their graves behind?
That Zaku!
I'm not the same man I was before!
I won't back down! I won't!
Can't you just lay down the bed and
launch the Gundam parts?! It's easy!
The procedure's in the manual,
but I've never done it!
That's how we do things on the White Base!
I'll figure out the rest!
All right! I'll give it a try!
And he's the one who's supposed
to be a professional soldier...
Amuro! Here I go!
You won't mess with the White Base any more!
Fraw, go give them a hand.
Go to the starboard machine guns.
You can pull a trigger, right?
Yes!
Make sure you wear a helmet.
Or else you'll lose your hearing.
Right!
The Guntank's broken?!
Mirai! Can't we get the White Base moving?
We have no buoyancy!
The hyper-magnet is shot!
Launch the Gundam parts?!
Did Amuro say that?!
Ah...
Mr. Ryu! You mustn't get out of bed!
Your injuries are worse than all of ours!
Sickness and injury shan't matter if the
White Base goes down in flames!
That's true, but...
Mr. Ryu! What are you going to do?!
Got to start the Guntank moving.
If the White Base wasn't stuck,
I wouldn't have been able to get out.
Just one so far?
I should've come out earlier!
Amuro! We're ready to launch
the Gundam parts! Ready?!
Please do it!
The Core Fighter's out of ammo!
Launching Gundam B Parts!
Laser searcher, activated
Core Fighter, change!
Catch laser sensor!
Roll 180 degrees!
Attitude okay!
Looking good!
All right! Mr. Omur!
Launch A Parts as soon as you can!
Roger! Launch position, set!
Here it comes, Amuro!
All right! Good!
Ah!
I can hit the Zaku from here,
but the White Base would be damaged too.
Is hand-to-hand combat my only option?
Wait a minute...
Is it trying to ram us?!
That must mean it's packed with explosives!
No! Get back!
Trying to stop our charge?
How impudent!
The Gundam can't hold it by itself.
If it crashes into the Trojan Horse,
the explosives will...
Tachi! Get the Gundam from behind!
Yes, Miss Hamon!
Another, from above...?! Can I do it?!
That Gundam took out two pilots at once!
I'd expect no less from the boy
who caught my notice. However...!
Oh no...!
Shall I shoot?!
You can't hit just the Magella Top!
However thick the Gundam's armour may be,
it won't hold up at this range.
The explosion from the Gundam and
Cargo will take out the Trojan Horse.
Miss Hamon?!
I really liked you, dear boy.
This is the end!
Mr. Ryu...!
Ryu!
What?!
Hurry up!
The Core Fighter! Who was piloting it...?!
I get it! It's a hovercraft,
so if I just hit one engine...!
Take this!
There!
And now...!
Are there any enemies still around?
The battle is over, Amuro.
Are you and the Gundam unhurt?
We're fine!
Who was in that Core Fighter?!
Please stay calm, Amuro...
Yes?
It was Ryu.
Ryu rammed the plane...
Mr. Ryu...?!
That can't be...
Mr. Ryu's injured.
There's no way he could go into combat.
Don't joke around, Miss Sayla...
It was my fault... I practically killed him.
If only I didn't switch with him,
Mr. Ryu wouldn't have...
He wouldn't have died!
Switch with me!
I have more experience than you!
But it won't work!
Idiot!
You have to think of ways
to adapt to the situation!
The Core Fighter can still be used!
Get out of my way, novice!
I shouldn't have allowed
Mr. Ryu to launch.
Mr. Ryu! Will you be all right?!
We need all the fighting strength we can gather!
I must have worried him
too much over Amuro.
That's not true. Don't you think so, Miss Mirai?
He's starting to change greatly.
Never mind me!
Just get Amuro out of the brig!
I'll take responsibility.
Mr. Ryu...! Mr. Ryu...!
He's afraid of you,
comparing you to a wild tiger.
Funny, isn't it?
I was responsible for his death...
I was the one... I was...!
No! Stop that, Mr. Job John!
I believe I am also!
Maybe even Hayato!
It's... It's everyone! Everyone!
It's as Amuro says!
It's because of our immaturity that Ryu died.
And so many others were lost...
Forgive me, Ryu!
Please forgive me!
What are we supposed to do from now on?!
Tell me, Ryu...!
Please tell me!
I suppose you won't advise me any more...
Mr. Bright...
Let's stop this...
All we can do is defeat Zeon.
And end the war.
That's right.
That's really it.
That's all we can do!
That's all we can do!
Bright collapses after Ryu's death.
As if to take advantage,
M'Quve launches a siege operation...
...quietly, and intensely.
A mid-air docking during battle...
...finally puts Amuro in extreme danger.

Amuro, do not look back.
The star shining far off in space...
Amuro, it's your homeland
where you were born.
Do you remember the days
of your childhood??
The morning when you woke up, when it was warm?
Amuro, do not look back. Amuro...
A man must hide his tears, hide his tears.
Only look to tomorrow, to tomorrow... Forever...
Rage on! Rage on! Rage on! Gundam!

The morning when you woke up, when it was warm?
Amuro, do not look back. Amuro...
A man must hide his tears, hide his tears.
Only look to tomorrow, to tomorrow... Forever...
