Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 26 - Char Returns - 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!

The G-Fighter is made up entirely
of the new Gundam parts.

We've had Miss Sayla piloting it,

and we've had no technical problems.

If we separate the G-Fighter and
insert Gundam between the two halves...

...we'll get the G-Armour...

...which is a combination of the
Gundam with all the new parts.

The problem is, we haven't been able
to test a mid-air docking.

Sayla isn't used to it yet.

Well, excuse me.

It's okay.

But there's no problem separating
the new parts or docking them in mid-air.

At this speed, I think we'll be able
to do it even during battle.

The laser sensor alignment
needs to be refined.

Sorry, I need go to the toilet.

Make it quick.

Sure.

Our main problems with its usage
are in these following areas.

The G-Sky is formed by adding the
G-Parts' rear engine to the Core Fighter,

making it function as
a long-range fighter-bomber.

It uses the bottom half of the Gundam,

so while the G-Sky's in action,
the Gundam is disabled.

Therefore, we would more often
use the EZ form of the G-Sky.

It can use any Core Fighter from
the Guncannon or Guntank.

He must be joking.

Let's dock the G-Bull into the G-Armour.

These shields, right here.

The primary goal of these new parts
is to strengthen the Gundam's armour.

But if you think about the moment
when it converts into the Gundam,

you have to remove the shields.

So what we need to do is develop
a joint to link the two shields together.

And we also need at least twice the
amount of our present supply parts.

Otherwise, we'll be unable to make
the best use of our one Gundam.

Looks like they all want to live on
this ship for the rest of their lives.

A Spy On Board

I understand.

I'll have them work on technical
improvements as soon as possible.

When the White Base's
engine maintenance is complete,

you shall fly to our headquarters
in South America.

I shall return to the front-lines in Europe.

All rise! Salute!

I pray for your success.

And... give my regards
to those three little ones.

I wonder if Mr. Shiden will leave us.

Where will he go?

How should any of us know that?

I think he really is leaving.

Yes... I think so.

Repair it quickly.

Yes, sir!

Ask the Colonel!

Yes, sir!

Mr. Kai...

Mr. Kai...! Where are you going?

It's inevitable. All those military
formalities just don't suit me at all.

Mr. Kai.

I can't say I like everything about you.

But we're comrades,
who have been through so much together!

I like the way you put that, Amuro.

Well, take care of yourself.

M-Mr. Kai!

Let him do as he likes.

But...

Hey, Mr. Bright.

If you push yourself too much,
you can't win battles.

And that's why I've decided to quit.

The Zeons are pushing themselves hard, too.

I suppose I've just gone past my limits.

Mr. Kai!

Please take this along with you.

You should be able to sell it for some cash.

But that's your toolbox, isn't it?

You'll need money, no matter where you go.

Well, thanks.

I can't say I like everything about
you either. But I appreciate it.

I'm glad you do.

It's been a pleasure. Thanks for everything!

Are you really going?

Yes! Stay alive, okay?

You also think he's a coward,
don't you, Mirai?

The second ship is carrying a Z'Gok,

an amphibious heavy mobile suit.

Rest assured, they are extremely
reliable. This ship has only one Gogg.

That'll do. Have them prevent
the Trojan Horse from departing.

Before the Trojan Horse leaves the
dock, I want to know where it's heading.

Sir! I already have someone working on it.

Think I should start a hardware
store'? Eh, Amuro?

Mr. Soldier!

Oh, it's you again.

You look like you've been
thrown off the battleship.

Yes, something like that.

You don't have a place to stay, do you?
Come stay at my house.

You mean it?
So there must be a catch.

No way.

I don't mind if it's only for a
couple of days.

My name's Miharu.

I live with my little brother and
sister. You don't mind, do you?

So the three of you are secretly
staying in an abandoned house?

Yes.

Welcome home, sis!

Welcome home!

Were you good?

Sure!

It's okay. He'll be our guest.

Hey, how do you do?

About the battleship you were on...

Yes?

It's quite something, isn't it?

I guess so. You like ships?

Yes, growing up in the harbour.

Well, even though the White Base is a ship,
it's technically more of a space battleship.

I see. It's a spaceship.

Right.

What?

Just worrying about nothing.

You're probably tired.
Rest for a while, I'll go get you a blanket.

What?

Make yourself at home.

They seem well behaved.

Listen. If he leaves the house,
you let me know right away, okay?

Mhm.

We understand.

This is just too bad.

Sorry to be a bother!

Not at all!

You know, the White Base
is leaving tonight.

What?

They're having issues with the right engine.

If the enemy attacked that spot,
the ship would likely be stuck here.

Mr. Kai...

Don't worry about it.

I know what it is like for you, taking
care of your younger brother and sister.

Mr. Kai.

Commander.
There's a message from 107, sir.

She's in contact with
a Trojan Horse crew member.

Apparently, the Trojan Horse is having
problems repairing the right engine.

Understood.

Hmm...

Commander.

Yes?

Exactly where is 107 situated?

The harbour. Near the Trojan Horse.

While we attack with the Gogg,
order 107 to sneak onto the Trojan Horse.

What?

I would like to cover all
possibilities. Understood?

Sir!

And if you do succeed,
I shall expedite your return to Zeon.

I'm honoured.

Please return to the Mad Angler,
Captain. I'll do what I can.

Thank you. I am counting on you.

Have the Mad Angler prepare for backup.

Sir!

Z'Gok aboard Ship No. 2, launch!

Everything is going smoothly.

This mobile suit is more to my taste
than that Gogg ever was.

We've lost response from Area 29.

A mobile suit?

Unknown. It's faster than the previous ones.

Tell the crew to standby for counter-attack!

Take off at once?! It'll take us a little longer.

Send out the Guncannon and Guntank!

How about the G-Fighter or G-Sky?

Well?

The voltage is a little irregular, but it's fine.

Okay!

The enemy is using freeze gel
so you can't pursue them?

It's our job to get past it and destroy them!

Prepare to fire anti-submarine missiles!

Synchronise with the harbour's defence sonar!

We shall begin our attack on the enemy
at the exact moment the Z'Gok reaches land.

Connolly, use that diversion to get to shore.

Transmission from Callahan in the Z'Gok!

Right! Release the Gogg and then surface!

Launch Connolly's boat!

Is the dock's gate ready?

Just break through it.
It'll be no problem with the armour on this.

Easy for you to say.
Has the Guntank already left?

Ah, no. The shaft isn't operating properly.

Oh.

The repairs are done, so please get going!

Thank you very much!
Gundam taking off!

Miss Sayla!
The Gundam will ride G-Fighter!

Roger!

An air raid.

The White Base is being attacked?

It seems too soon
if Miharu informed the Zeons herself.

Where did your sister go?

Sh-She'll be back in no time.

Y-Yes, she went shopping.

Hmm... Did she really?

Uh... It's the truth!

Okay, I'll believe you.
Whatever you say...

It looks like they're attacking from the sea.

Give me back my bicycle!

It's for military use, you'll get it back later!

Greetings! Are you in a big hurry?

What? You're...?

Ah, no! No, I'm not in any hurry, no.

Why did you call me out to a place like this?

I'm not used to this...

I didn't expect someone like you.

Here. There's money in this.

Your orders are to infiltrate the Trojan Horse
and find out where they're heading to.

How?

You'll have to figure that out for yourself.
Just sneak in by any means necessary.

There's a lot here...

You'll do it, won't you?

I hear there'll be more money in it
if you succeed. Here.

In this bag you'll find
a Federation Forces uniform,

and the commander's letter.

I understand. I'll do It.

I have to do something to feed my family.

That's responsible of you. Well, I must go.

Here they come.

Judging from the silhouette,
it looks like the Gundam and a fighter.

Tell the forward Gogg to start
attacking! Prepare for anti-air combat!

Miss Sayla! Please be careful!
There might be more than one of them.

Roger.

I'll attack the closest submarine
with the G-Fighter.

Welcome home, sis!

Were you afraid?

We were fine.

How's he doing?

He took his stuff and left a while ago.

Did he say anything?

He said, 'Best of luck.'

Yes.

Best of luck...?

Mr. Kai...

Now, listen, you two...

Big Sis has to go to work now.

I could be gone for a bit longer
this time, okay?

Use this money carefully while I'm gone.

Never tell anyone where the money is.

Yes, we know that!

When I'm done this job, let's go
some place where there's no war, okay?

All three of us...

You have to be brave.
I know how strong you two are.

We'll be okay.

Sis, you have the same nice smell,
just like Mummy.

I'm sorry I made you remember.

A mobile suit is approaching
from four o'clock, sir!

What's wrong, Hayato?!
Launch the Guncannon!

I'm leaving now! Is the beam rifle ready?!

Hayato! Guncannon, launching!

It has nothing to do with me now.
All the shooting and exploding.

Come on! Now! Take this!

This guy's too accurate with his shooting.

So that's the infamous Gundam!

Well, it doesn't measure up to the rumours!

It doesn't concern me...

But... you know...

Ah!

Why am I worrying about the White
Base at a time like this?!

You coward!

Coward!

Coward!

Yes... maybe I really am a coward.

Not the same trick again!

Serves you right!

Miss Sayla! How's the battle going for you?!

Amuro! Please return!!
Miss Sayla! How's the battle going for you?!

Amuro! Please return!!

A mobile suit is attacking Hayato's
Guncannon over at the harbour.

This is Sayla in the G-Fighter.

I have an anti-submarine attack
plane backing me now. So I'm okay.

Anyway, those guys are so slow...
it's impossible for me to sit back and watch!

Stop! I'm with the military! Stop!

Come to the base to pick it up later. Okay?

The Guntank... where's the Guntank?

Well, there it is! What's it doing here?!

Oh, Mr. Kai! Please use it!

We just finished the repairs on its shaft!

Mr. Hayato's in the Guncannon now!

Well, I suppose I have to do it.

...I'll not let you get any closer!

He's persistent. In that case...!

I'll tear you apart!

It's no good! I've taken so much
damage, there's almost no power!

What? A tank?

I won't let you get away with this!

Okay. I'll lure the tank into the
water and take care of it out there.

I've had it with you!

So you want to fight underwater
where you have the advantage.

Sayla here. I sank the enemy ship!

It's coming!

I guess this one is the real Gundam,
but either way, this will finish it!

Don't underestimate me!

You won't escape!

Here he comes...!

The remaining ship has retreated!

Very well! All teams, do final checks!

As soon as we're done with
the engine maintenance, we're taking off.

Hey!

Well, Amuro.
l was told your toolbox isn't worth a penny.

Is that so...

Oh, hello, Kai. Welcome back.

Hi, Miss Sayla.

I couldn't stand watching you struggle!

Right, Hayato?

Right, whatever you say.

It looks like Spy 107
made it on board the Trojan Horse.

However, the enemy did manage to sink
one Gogg and one Z'Gok.

Hmm. That sounds about right.

It's Boone's concern.

Have him take the necessary steps
to maintain contact with our spy, all right?

Sir!

Later that night,

the White Base left the
demolished town,

with a spy on board.

Char's relentless pursuit
shows no signs of letting up.

As they face many dangers,

Kai and Miharu's growing
friendship comes to a tragic end.

Who could possibly speak the
words... 'Miharu, rest in peace'?

Mobile Suit Gundam. Next episode...

Across the Atlantic Ocean.

Will you be able to survive??

Next episode
Across the Atlantic Ocean

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...
