Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 29 - Tragedy in Jaburo - 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 Gaw formation from North
America, with Captain Char as its leader...
...carried out a surprise attack against the
Earth Federation Headquarters in Jaburo.
However, with the Gundam
and the efforts of many soldiers,
the Federation Forces fought back
hard and the enemy was forced to retreat.
But shall the infamous Char
continue withdrawing his forces?

Point B 3! Thus far, we have
nothing out of the ordinary to report.
Zeons are staging periodic bombings.
Roger!
What the heck's the point in regular
reports from a remote outpost like ours?
Don't complain so much!
Even they aren't doing their patrols
just so they can collect their pay-cheques...
What's wrong?
Another periodic bombing, is it?
Well, it's nothing to be concerned about.
Now then...
The White Base's crew organization
shall remain as it is now.
You shall join the 13th Autonomous
Corps of the Tianem fleet.
I shall now announce each of your ranks.
Lieutenant Bright Noa.
Yes, sir!
Ensign Mirai Yashima.
Yes, sir.
Petty Officer Sayla Mass.
Yes, sir.
Before we've had a chance to think
about it, we've been made into soldiers.
Chief Petty Officer Amuro Ray.
Y-Yes, sir!
Corporal Kai Shiden.
Yes, sir.
Corporal Hayato Kobayashi.
Yes, sir!
I haven't received anything like
this since my grade school diploma.
What good will this do?
Private First Class Fraw Bow!
Private Fraw Bow? Isn't she here?
Nooo!
We don't want to!
Come back here, you...!
Oh no. Please excuse me.
No way! I'm not going anywhere!
Me neither!
No way are we leaving!
What was that all about?
Well, the children absolutely refuse
to go to the childcare centre, and...
How self-centred.
I have some expertise in this area.
I'll convince those children.
Ah, you should come with me.
Yes, ma'am.
Hurry up and receive your appointment.
Uh, yes sir.
Ryu Jose has been promoted two ranks
for honourable death in the line of duty.
He's been appointed lieutenant junior grade.
Other White Base casualties have
also been promoted two ranks. That is all.
Promoted two ranks?
Promoted two ranks...?!
Promoted two ranks...?
Is... Is that all they get?
What?
They're promoted two ranks, and that's it?
That's the end of the matter?
What? What exactly are you saying?
You do nothing for us while we're fighting,
and afterwards you hand out ranks.
Couldn't you at least say 'thank
you' to Ryu and the others?!
Amuro. That's enough.
How dare you!
Who said you could dodge my blow?!
Do that again and I'll throw you in a cell!
What?
There!
Well, you do say things that you shouldn't.
You need sense smacked into you
once in a while.
Yes. I get the message. Let's just drop it.
So what about Kikka and the other children?
The childcare officer told them
the facility has lots of fun playgrounds.
So they were convinced and went with her.
But I wonder...
Do you think they will
really be happy if they stay here?
Really be happy?
I think they'll be fine wherever
they end up.
Do you really believe that?
We have no choice.
They must stay behind.
But...!
Young children shouldn't have to see
people killing each other.
Maybe you're right.
The preparations are done, Captain Char.
Okay! Let's go!
Juice! Juice! Delicious juice!
I want some soft-serve ice cream!
You're all are so innocent and carefree.
What?
What's wrong with children being carefree?
But all that does is make adults happy.
You are one cynical boy!
If you stick around here long
enough, you'll all end up like this.
There's a war on right now!
Nothing to do with me.
All I do is sit around waiting until
my mother and father come and see me.
Mummy...?
Daddy?
Oh, stop it!
But...
Why you...!
Ow!
Fraw Bow! I want to go home!
I want to go back to the ship!
Look what you did!
This is all your fault!
M-Me too...
I want to go home. I want to go...!
What's wrong, children?
She's coming!
Let's run away!
Right! Now, Kikka. Let's run!
Okay...
Hey! Come back here!
Katz! Letz! Kikka!
Where are you going?!
Come back, children! Can't you hear me?
Please answer me, Kikka dear!
Katz! Letz!
What am I going to do?
Someone's coming.
Wait. They're children.
Come on, Kikka.
Okay!
It's slippery, Katz. So be careful.
Katz!
Yes.
They really gave me a scare.
Captain Char?
The Federation's come a long way.
This is probably just a small sample
of what they have.
Are we doing it now? Captain?
Yes, of course...
Ramsey. Have your unit set them here.
Sir.
Akahana, our teams shall head
to the Trojan Horse's dock.
Right!
Ha! This'll be a piece of cake.
Keep running! If they catch us,
they'll take us back there!
I can't run any more!
Kikka! Pull yourself together!
I want to rest!
Well, if we have to...
Hey. This door opens.
Well, if we have to...
Hey. This door opens.
It does? Okay, Kikka.
We'll rest here for a little bit.
Then we'll go back to the ship.
How much longer?
Five more minutes, sir!
Wait! Hide!
Sir?
Stinky.
Is there no-one here?
Hey! Look, Gundams!
Oh, wow!
There are so many!
But it's kinda different than Gundam.
Come to think of it, they're a lot different.
Oh! Something's near its feet!
What? Near its feet?
I saw something move.
What?!
You imagined it. I don't see anything.
But it's true!
Something really moved!
It could've been a person!
What?! If it's a person, we're in trouble.
L-Let's hide.
Okay!
Run away! Run away!
The other way!
I understand your fear
but it'll make it harder, Fraw.
But I'd just like to see them once more.
Even if I just watch them quietly, from afar.
What?
That's the childcare officer!
Oh, I'm glad I found you now!
Kikka, Katz and Letz have all run away!
What?!
Don't think ill of us, children.
I've set them to detonate in 30 minutes.
Okay. Let's go!
Bombs!
They've set b-b-bombs!
Sorry for the wait.
We're finally authorised.
That's terrific! Now we can go on the tour!
You're coming too, Kai?
The Gundam factory?
Ah, ok. I'll go to take my mind off things.
Lieutenant Bright. Come to
the operations conference room at once.
Coming, sir.
Well, that's the military for you.
You go ahead without me.
Okay.
You'll enjoy it more without your superior.
I did it! Katz, hurry!
You saved me!
W-We must get rid of those Zeon bombs!
Right!
W-We must get rid of those Zeon bombs!
Right!
Katz! Kikka! You two look under here!
Okay!
Katz! Kikka! You two look under here!
Um... Let's see...
Well? Any bombs??
Hey! Did you find any?!
Um...
No good! At this rate,
we'll blow up along with them!
I don't want to blow up! What should we do?
I found one!
What?!
Is this one a bomb?!
Th-There's one over here, too!
Here we go...
Come on, Kikka, hurry up!
Come on! Start, engine! Start!
H-Hurry up!
I'm... I'm trying, but it won't start!
But are you sure you know
how to make it move?
I'll manage!
I did it! It started!
Okay, next I need to do...
This!
No. That wasn't it.
Those voices were Katz and Letz!
What are they doing in a place like this?
We have to go after them!
Right!
Stop the car, Katz! Stop the car!
Big brother Amuro!
What are you doing here?!
Zeon soldiers set up some bombs!
We're throwing them away!
Bombs?
Th-This is... Amuro, looks like it's true.
These are time bombs.
Where did you find them?!
Inside the Gundam factory!
All right, Letz. Get in the other
car and leave the rest to me. Hurry!
Okay!
Mr. Kai! Help the children into the car!
Just leave it to me.
Okay, Letz! You go first!
Come on!
Okay.
Come on!
Okay, don't be scared. On three...
See, I told you it was fine!
Okay! You're next, Kikka. There!
Now it's your turn! Here we go!
You all did good. All yours, Amuro!
Thank you, Mr. Kai!
We did it! Yay! We did it!
The White Base is in danger!
Whoever set these bombs
will likely attack the White Base too!
Sounds like Ramsey's team went all out.
Ivanov. Can you hear me?
Yes, Captain Char.
Our mission has failed.
Distract the enemy with the Acguys.
Understood, sir.
Let's go!
It's starting to look rough up ahead.
The enemy's attacking with mobile suits.
That's...!
Katz!? Kikka!
Letz!
Katz! Letz! Please answer me!
Kikka! Where are you?!
Kikka!
Katz! Letz! Kikka!
Artesia?
I thought so.
...I never would have thought
you'd join the Zeon Forces.
Not my gentle brother Casval!
Will you leave the military for me, Artesia?
Sayla! Are you there?
Please answer me...
Got that?
Casval!
Sayla!
Where are you?! Kikka!
Sayla?
Oh!
Sayla?
I heard gunfire... Was there a Zeon soldier?
Was there a...?
There was a Zeon officer here on this rock.
You didn't notice?!
I'm sorry...
Maybe we shouldn't go that way, then.
Captain Char...
Ignore them. We're all leaving right now.
Our mission is a failure,
so we're falling back. Got that?!
Sir!
Here I go!
I won't let you get away!
Four or five mobile suits... that's nothing!
Captain Char...!
Captain! Ivanov's Acguy
has been destroyed!
Don't stop!
If you stop, you won't survive!
Keep moving!
Char!
I'll get you!
He's still coming?!
They may only be Acguys, but
he took out four of them all at once.
He's improved his skill as a fighter.
An underground water vein.
I can't see ahead.
Knowing Char, he must have
used that opportunity to escape.
I understand your worry.
However, they're sure to be safe here.
Besides, our children are the future
of the Federation Forces...
...So we bring them up with great care.
Even after what happened today?
Also, when I consider their
wishes, I'm not sure they...
And you called them the future
of the Federation Forces, but...
...they might see a world without Zeon or
Federation Forces within their lifetime.
Can't you consider that possibility?
Our little rascals here
aren't your average children.
In all the time they've been with us,
they've experienced explosions and more...
...and they've made it through those
battles, fighting alongside us.
They've seen some terrible things
even an adult like you couldn't imagine.
And they never turned away their
eyes. You understand?
They don't want to leave us. Isn't that right?
Yes!
But... but they...
Yes. I suppose you may be right.
I'll make all the necessary arrangements.
Then... then... It's so wonderful!
Yes!
This is great!
Now we can bicker again like always!
That's right!
Now we can bicker again like always!
That's right!
Meanwhile, due to Char's guerilla
attack, the Earth Federation Forces...
...have decided to speed up
their military operations in outer space.
The admirals have figured out...
...that the Zeons are overestimating
the real potential of the White Base,
and that the White Base
would be an ideal decoy.
Are you saying that
the 13th Autonomous Corps...
...shall specialise in decoy operations? Sir?
The White Base takes off into space...
...where an immense battlefield awaits.
Char pursues them relentlessly,
which finally leads to fleet combat.
Will the approaching gigantic
spacecraft crush the mobile suit to pieces?

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...
