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 Earth Federation Forces' Third Fleet...

...staged an attack on
the space fortress, Solomon...

...and broke into it using
their new weapon, the Solar Ray System.

Big-Zam's Last Stand

I botched it. I can't believe
I could have been so careless.

Sleggar's G-Fighter is returning to the ship.
It looks like the left engine has been hit.

Sleggar! Do you copy?! Come in!

I read you.
Landing on Deck 3.

Is something wrong, Ensign?

Oh, it's nothing.

Not enough missiles from starboard!
Don't slack off.

Fraw Bow, I want you to bring
Chief Vammas up from the sub-bridge.

Ensign Mirai.

Private conversations are prohibited
during battle, but don't dismiss me, Mirai.

I'd like to think that I'm capable
enough to watch over and protect you.

Bright...

I understand how you feel,

but I'll always be here waiting for you.

Yes, sir?

Ensign Mirai isn't feeling well.

Take over her position for the time being.

Yes, sir!
I'll relieve you now.

Bright...

Anti-aircraft guns!
Object approaching port-side! Got that?!

Get a move on!
Deal with the left engine when the fire's out!

Howard!

You need to replace the busted outer armour.

And the fuel pump to the number 2
engine. I'm fairly sure there's a leak.

Okay. I'll be right on it.

And fill it up with fuel and
ammunition. Make it quick.

It'll take 15 minutes.

You have 10 minutes.
I have to re-fuel too.

Hurry up!
We have 10 minutes to fix it!

Howard!

Where's Lieutenant Sleggar?!

He was headed toward the waiting box.

Okay. Thanks.

Lieutenant! You're not harmed.

Ensign. What are you doing
in a place like this?

Well?

I'm so glad...

Ensign. Enough of that.
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve.

Lieutenant Sleggar. All prepared for take-off!

On my way!

See you later.

Lieutenant...!

Please make it back alive.

Ensign Mirai... When you're young,
everything can be very chaotic.

You shouldn't take yourself
too seriously right now.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hmm...? Well... it doesn't matter.

Lieutenant...

Ensign, I'm not the kind of man
who deserves your affection.

No, Sleggar...

To me, you're...

You dazzle me, Ensign.
You and me are worlds apart.

But...

This is just a cheap ring...
but it's all I have left of my mother.

I'd hate to lose it out there in
space. Hold onto it for me.

Thank you.

Look after that ring, Ensign!

Lieutenant...

At Granada, Kycilia's base to the
south of the moon's Ural Mountains...

...a fleet was preparing to take off
in an attempt to rescue Solomon.

The fleet has been swiftly assembled
under the command of M'Quve.

It's inevitable, but... There are a
lot of defence forces left inside the base.

Why you...!

Be careful! There's a new weapon!
It's huge!

What?! How many are there?!

Wait. It seems there's only one new model.

The rest are Rick Doms and Zakus.
Let's get 'em!

No! Hang on!
We don't know their strength.

Those measly pawns are coming this way.

Show them how the Big-Zam differs
from any other mobile armour or mobile suit!

Yes, sir!

If you're coming out, come out now!

The beam won't work!
It's a monster!!

A monster?
I'll check it out!

This is the command room!
Your Excellency!

What is it?!

Where are you, Your Excellency?!

I'll fight in the Big-Zam!
Enemy mobile suits have entered our base.

But our remaining fleets
are about to take off!

There's no need for you to fight in person!

You're wrong.

We've reached the point where
we must use all the battle strength we have!

Zenna...

Mineva...

I hope you've escaped to safety.

It's an escape rocket. One of ours.

Its course?

It appears to have been launched
from Solomon, sir.

Pilot it remotely and bring it in.

Captain, the battle at Solomon
seems rather desperate.

Sir?

Ignore the escape rocket and...

I beg your pardon. But you don't
understand the lives of soldiers in space.

No?

At times like this...
No?

At times like this...

A soldier believes his comrades
shall be there to rescue him...

...and that is why he can fight in
space to risk his own life.

If we don't hurry, they'll drift out of range.

As you say, then. Bring the rocket in.

Yes, sir!

Mineva...

That's an allied fleet out there.

We're saved.

I'm pleased with the Big-Zam's power.

But at this rate,
our base shall be badly damaged.

Command room!

Yes, Your Excellency.

How many vessels do we have left?

The enemy's new weapon and mobile suits,

have destroyed or immobilised
three-quarters of our vessels.

All right! Tell the rest to charge
straight through the enemy's main fleet!

Sir?!

I myself shall lead the remaining
Rick Doms and Zakus out of Solomon!

Sir! Good luck, Your Excellency!

Thank you, and to you as well.

Sir, we've confirmed
enemy fleet leaving Granada.

We can hold on a little longer, correct?

Yes!
We can hold on a little longer, correct?

But the remaining enemy vessels have
launched from the other side of Solomon.

Can we get them with
what's left of the Solar System?

We'd have a 60 percent chance of success.

Let's give it a try.

Coordinates to focus light, 0-6-3-5!

Making minor adjustments to the y-axis!

0-0-4! 0-0-2!

All fleets will finish off the enemy
after we use the Solar System!

Full speed ahead!

Forget the ships we passed.
Others are ahead! Hit whatever you can!

Next...?

Oh yes, I'm good!

Uh-oh!

I'm too late!

What kind of machine
could destroy mobile suits like this?

There!

What was that?

What's that?!

Another vessel confirmed leaving Solomon!

Receiving Solar System's focusing signal!

What's that?!
The Solar System's still operating?!

Remaining ships shall charge
the enemy's main force!

Good.

What's the Big-Zam's target?!

The command vessel that's in the rear!

Ignore the small fish!

Sayla's craft has been hit!
We'll take her in through Deck 3!

Do it quickly!

Once she's inside, we'll pursue the large
mobile armour that launched from Solomon.

Mirai?!

I'm sorry for the trouble,
Lieutenant. I'm better now.

All right. Vammas,
please return to the sub-bridge.

Yes, sir!

Bring the White Base around 180
degrees straight away, Mirai! Hurry!

Yes, sir!

Salamis ships!

No problem! Fire forward beam!

I knew it! That's not just
a large-scale mobile armour!

I just saw it deflect the beams!

Which means only missiles will work.

If we don't do something,
we'll just have more casualties!

The Big-Zam will charge the main force.

But first give a flare to signal
that all units are to evacuate!

But sir...!

Our force has been battered too much.

We shall abandon Solomon.

Switch control over to my panel.

And you men must evacuate as well.

But... Your Excellency?!

Don't waste your lives!

We have Doms and Zakus.
They can pull you off the battlefield!

Uh, yes, sir.

Now! Send out the flare signal!

I'm taking over the Big-Zam!

I never expected Solomon
to go down so easily.

It's the Gundam!

I just can't fire on unarmed men.

Don't underestimate the Big-Zam!
Those long-range beams have no effect!

I'll take as many of you as I can
with me as we're dragged off to die.

The large mobile suit is emitting
a powerful magnetic field.

Missiles! Fire back with missiles!

It's far too strong.

See?!

Once the Big-Zam is mass-produced
we'll put an end to the Federation in no time!

Lieutenant Sleggar?!

You want us to dock...
and charge into them in G-Armour mode?!

Let's do it, Chief Amuro!

R-Right! But Lieutenant, what's your plan?

Don't talk to me about plans!

If they have a magnetic field, all we can do is
close in and try our beam weapons!

Got you!

If these beam cannons fail...

...use the Gundam's beam rifle,
then the beam sabre.

With three levels of weaponry on our
side, even if we are shot down...

Lieutenant Sleggar!

Don't bring your personal cause into it.
I won't let it create any more casualties.

It sounds sad. But this is a war.

Amuro! We'll attack from below!

From below?! Anti-air defences!

Not over yet!!

Curse them!

Lieutenant!

They got him!

You...!

Shall a single mobile suit,

defeat the Big-Zam?!?!

No! It won't be defeated!

I won't let a brat like you beat me!

I won't be defeated!

For the glory of Zeon!

For my own pride!

You will not defeat me!
You will not defeat me!

Who is he?

What is that?

Solomon has fallen...?

Yes, sir.

How's this. Captain, you'll take Lady Zenna to
Granada aboard this Gwazine here.

I'll board the Chivvay so that I can keep
an eye on the Federation's next move.

Right. We've missed our chance
to stage a surprise attack, after all.

That's true.

Your function as strategist depended
on Solomon holding out until we arrived.

I'll leave a few vessels to collect
intelligence and rescue the men.

Very well. I'll stay behind and help out.

Tell me it's a lie.

You can't tell me it's a lie, can you, Amuro?

I'll spread my wings and wait for you
tsubasawa hirogete anata wo matsuwa

I wonder if you're suffering today
kyou no anata wa tsurainokashira

We do not feel such things
sonna koto nai watashitachi

So please sleep now, Amuro
dakara ne oyasumi Amuro

They talk about how awful this era is
konna jidai to hito wa iu

If this warmth is real for certain
kono nukumori ga tashika nara tashika nara

You'll be able to find it
mitsukaruyo

A dream, it is a dream, a dream
yume sore wa yume yume

Char prepares himself for the next battle.

Unaware, Amuro and M'Quve continue
deadly combat in an uninhabited wasteland.

As she observes the fight, young
Lalah has visions of her destiny calling for her.

Will you be able to survive??

The Duel in Texas

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...
