How'd you do it ? It's 3kg lighter !
We've changed the frame materials around the cockpit.
But the strength's been increased, so it's perfectly safe.
Of course !
I wouldn't accept it if it were weak. Why didn't you tell me earlier ?
We've had to move up the delivery date ten days.
Talk to Char and Neo-Zion about that.
If he hadn't started the asteroid operation so early, this wouldn't have happened.
Is this it ?
Yes.
MOBILE SUIT
Char's Counterattack
Hey !
What've we done wrong ?!
Abducted a minor !
Don't you know that you don't deserve to be playing around on Earth ?
You're Quess Paraya, aren't you ?
Get in quickly. Come on, Quess !
Why should I ?!
Darling ! She bit me ! Quess bit me !
Did you, Quess ?!
Just look !
You get in, too !
But...!
Quickly, quickly.
Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Adenauer.
Who was that ?
The family of an Earth Federation high official.
Do they really think they can cure that delinquent by taking her into space ?
That's not his wife, is it ?
Why didn't we take a military plane ?
The army's mobilizing. A civilian shuttle's safe enough from Hong Kong.
Why hasn't anyone stopped Char's plan to freeze Earth ?
The Federation didn't believe that Char of Zion was still alive.
Billions of people live in space.
You look down on them from Earth and think you understand...
to believe???~} ...that's wrong.
But...
Where is it ?!
In the direction of Polaris !
Give me the coordinates !
Forget it ! Get out of there !
Five...
...four...
...three...
...two...
...one.
Ignition !
Lt Amuro ! Fifth Luna's accelerating towards Earth !
Fifth Luna's entry angle, nominal ! Velocity, nominal !
Is Captain Char on the mobile suit deck ?
Yes, ma'am. In the Sazabi.
Captain ! Gyunei Guss' zone is pinned down.
I believe he needs some help.
The launching of Fifth Luna is complete. Order all personnel to withdraw.
I have, but in order to recover our mobile suits we can't scatter Minovski particles.
So, that puts Gyunei in danger.
All right !
I'll help Gyunei's Jagd Doga withdraw.
Sazabi, moving out !
Sazabi, launching !
Why couldn't we keep Fifth Luna from hitting Earth ?!
More reinforcements ?
Is that Char ?
Captain !
They had mines installed. The Minovski particles are thinning out !
Why are you dropping this on Earth ?
Earth'll freeze and everyone will have to evacuate !
It'll be like a nuclear winter !
The people on Earth only think of themselves !
Therefore, I've ordered their extermination !
One man shouldn't presume to judge all mankind !
I, Char Aznable, will bring order, Amuro !
That's just your ego !
Earth won't survive this time !
What crap...
Captain, why don't you use the Funnels ?
Captain, don't worry about me !
Gyunei, let's head back !
I'll go by myself !
You can't. Take a look outside and you'll see what I mean.
You've defended the nozzles of Fifth Luna well.
But this is a perfectly good ticket !
Yes, so it is...
What'll you do ?
No ! I'd rather freeze to death on Earth than go with this girl !
Well, why don't you ?
I hate this !
Kathy...
Let's go...to space.
This is an authorization from the Earth Federation.
You... Two's fine.
Yes ? Two, is it ?
You...!
Yes...
The person authorizing that customer's ticket ?
Yes.
It's from John Bower of the Federation.
Let one of them on board.
H...huh ?
We squeezed on board by using my government official's privilege.
I owe Bower a favor, so...
Politicians.
Ma'am, we can let one on. Two can go on the next flight.
But, when will the next flight be ?
I don't know. As the news says, it's war...
He'll go.
Hathaway Noah ? Your destination's Londenion, isn't it ?
Yes. His father's there.
Hathaway !
Here. The shuttle leaves immediately.
But...
You're a man, and it's already past time for you to experience space.
What about you and Cheiming, mama ?
It's okay. This war won't last long. And like he said, we'll be joining you soon.
Really ?
Of course.
I'm taking the Re-GZ in for maintenance !
I'm counting on you, Sergeant Hanon.
Yes, sir.
Hasn't Side 2 attacked yet ?
No, they're late.
So Side 1 didn't accept Lond Bell's request...
Because they're worried about their own civil war...
Here they come ! Heat sources !
It's a laser attack from Side 2.
It's not much...
That can't destroy it.
It's still descending toward Earth !
Captain, was the warning about Fifth Luna issued ?
Lhasa, Tibet ? Only those who know about this have evacuated.
That's why Char's winning.
Besides, where did Char get the nukes that he used to thrust Fifth Luna ?
Probably from our own Federation...
Move higher !
They're ceasing fire ?!
Punishment from Heaven !
Neo-Zion ! Banzai !
Mr. Vice-Minister, we've received permission to launch...
...but we may be passing close to an asteroid.
I know, but we must arrive at Londenion on time.
Put on ``normal'' suits.
Right.
Thank you.
Sure...
What's wrong ?
This is bad. A fireball...!
Captain ! Move more to the right !
Here it comes !
It's further north than expected !
More to the right !
Captain ! More to the right !
Settle down !
G...God...
Pathetic ! We're just watching Char beat us !
I'm going to Luna !
Amuro !
Astonauge ! Is the Geta prepared ?
It's ready outside.
We've been checking every colony for two years.
Why didn't we know that Char was building an army ?
The Federation rules space from the Earth...
But many colonists resent it.
When Lond Bell goes to investigate, the people hide them.
There shouldn't be a second wave. I'm going.
If all goes well, we'll encounter Char before he gets to Sweet Water.
Anaheim Electronics is also making the Neo-Zion's mobile suits.
Really ?
Sorry about that.
OUR technical department is different.
Well, that's what business is.
Oktober doesn't believe I'm a member of ``La Kailum's'' crew.
Because you're so charming, Chan.
There's a Psychommu receptor pack on the back of the seat.
Can I try out the monitor ?
Yes.
Good.
If I can read the enemy's amplified brain waves with the Psychommu receptor pack...
...I can respond to them quicker.
Your idea inspired our lab, and they put the same material into the frame.
Built into the frame ?
Yes.
These computer chips, the size of metallic particles, are enclosed in the frame.
Great idea !
And it's built into this frame.
But you said you didn't know about this technology...
The information was leaked from the Materials Development Dept.
That's why I want to continue the test after we return to the squadron.
I understand.
I'll take the Nu Gundam back immediately.
We need three more days to get it ready for actual combat.
There's no time{No you can't.}.
That's right. There's no time{ You can't}.
The operation to drop Fifth Luna was our first battle as the Neo-Zion Army.
This operation showed how skillful you are and I'm very impressed.
Today, with the completion of this operation...
...we've begun a diversionary attack against Lond Bell's fleet.
Although this is a simple mission, I want you to carry out your duties carefully...
...and return to Sweet Water safely.
That is all.
Well done.
I feel like an idiot.
No. As Neo-Zion's leader, you need to present a good image.
Captain !
Thank you for your help at Fifth Luna.
You've cost us a lot of money training at the New Type labs.
I can't afford to lose you.
Don't worry. Commence preparations immediately.
Yes, New Type Lab Chief ! I mean, Operations Officer...
Lt Nanai, will you be taking Gyunei with you ?
He's nervous, but he's a reliable Guardsman.
Perhaps he can relax in the colony.
Didn't you enhance him too much ?
He's just young.
Are you sure, Captain ? You're Neo-Zion's leader...
That's why I get stuck with the administrative jobs as well.
Take care of the diversionary attack.
Yes, Captain.
The enemy's moved out.
What's going on ? What's Char doing between Side 1 and Luna ?
What are they trying to do ?
Anaheim should be tracking our movements.
Call Amuro !
Yes, sir !
Make the battle bridge operational !
What is it ?
It's from the La Kailum...
``Char's second wave is near Luna...?''
``Return to Lond Bell...?''
Adjustments to the Psychommu receptors are complete.
Are you going out ?
But it hasn't...
Here !
Going out ?
Fire this up !
It can't be done !
There has to be a way !
Amuro...
That's an order !
Y...yes, sir.
Chan ! The booster bed...
...and the mass driver, right ?
Yeah !
What kind of operation is this ?
Mobile suits are for close combat.
Time to launch, Lezun !
On the battlefield, you always do it your own way, right ?
Yeah, I know.
Please stop ! You can't make it in time.
We're leaving !
I won't take responsibility.
SSE, ready for launch. Waiting for the orders !
That outfit suits you.
It's part of my duty.
This is the SSE !
The mobile suits will enter combat momentarily.
When they do, launch.
Roger.
Finally.
Yes...main bridge, take care of its timing.
Countdown nominal.
Oktober. Make sure to send a sample of the Psychommu Frame materials to Lond Bell.
Yes, I will.
Zero !
Re-GZ isn't ready, is it ?
There wasn't time to repair it !
Understood !
Take care...
Fire 3 more seconds ! Then our fleet'll take evasive action.
Now's the time to cut them down.
Gotcha !
One MS broke through our mobile suit squadron !
Counterattack ! Projectile screen !
Close the fire doors ! Use the extinguishers !
Luna...Earth...Capella... Vega...and Sol...
Our present position is...here ?
And the fleet...?
Are you okay ?
Yes...the fleet ?
It's started... ?
Yes...
I'll sit behind you.
Okay.
What ? Hey ! That light ?! Over there !
We've got to move ! They're fighting !
If you don't repair the apogee motor, we're going to dive right into it !
WHAT ?!
Oh, my God !
Gotcha !
What's our Jegan squadron doing ?!
Projectile screen's too thin !
That's Kayra !
Kayra...can you hear me ?!
You'll be destroyed by friendly fire ! Disengage !
Until the lieutenant gets back...
Not bad. By flitting about...
What ?!
A backup fleet ?!
Is that it ?
It's an unregistered craft.
Neo-Zion ?!
Look and find out yourself.
They're fighting... ?
Looks like it...
Fire the signal for retreat !
The Gundam ?!
They're retreating !
Their retreat... That was a smart move.
Why...?
Please don't go further.
Don't leave the officer's mess hall.
Use your shoes... press your feet against the floor.
Hathaway ?
Father !
Hey...?
You were on board the shuttle ? Why ?
You're the Captain of this ship, father ?
What about your mother and Cheiming ?
I'm the only one they'd let on.
Captain.
I'm sorry to break up this happy reunion, but...
Oh, this man did me a favor and got me on the shuttle.
The Staff Vice-Minister ?
That's right. Please set course for Londenion.
I have special duties to carry out.
Hathaway, go to the dining hall. You can fill me in later.
O...okay.
Lalah Sun ?
Don't think that you can have us both !
When a soul remains forever, it's torture. I just want to see both of you...
That's selfish !
I want to stay between both of you forever !
Deny Char !
He's pure...!
PURE ?!
Damn... The same dream again...
Lieutenant !
What ?
Will you please come up to the mobile suit deck ?
I'll be there in ten minutes !
Yes, sir.
What's wrong with him ? That angry tone...
Am I destroyed ?
It looks like it... Quess Paraya.
This is too big ! It doesn't fit me !
When you wear a normal suit, it'll fit.
Let me do it this time !
It's awesome !
???~} You can immediately make CG from the images taken during the last combat !
It's a military secret, so don't tell anyone !
Hey !
She's a natural.
I had no idea she was interested in things like this.
I hate it. He's always like that when somebody's around.
Miss Quess Paraya ?
Yes...?
Civilians shouldn't go beyond this point.
Sorry.
Quess !
Don't bother them ! Come here !
Go on without me !
He doesn't understand anything.
I'm over here ! Amuro !
Hi !
What's the problem ?
So...that's Amuro Rei...
``I'm over here,'' she says.
Quess ! I shot down two !
Well, same as me !
Didn't you sense it ?
He looks just like any other man.
Here.
Thanks.
But they say that when he piloted a mobile suit for the first time...
...he controlled it properly and defeated Zion's Zakus.
Really ?
They say he somehow understood everything about the Gundam just by sitting in the cockpit.
What's wrong ?
Is that what's called a ``New Type'' ?
Yes.
That's different from what Christina said in India.
She said a New Type's a person who can understand the nature of things and people...
...and no matter how far they're separated... they can understand each other.
That's right. When the human race lived only on Earth, we used only half our brain.
But, when we went into space and used the other half...
...``telepathy'' and ``precognition'' were enhanced.
Otherwise when we're living on Earth and colonies separately...
...we'd lose the sense of being in a family.
So your family understands each other.
My father is always a pain, you know ?
My family...Even though we're living together on Earth...
The recognition code the Federation gave us worked.
Aren't they a brainy bunch...?
Captain, you're mistaken. It's the result of our careful preparations.
I know.
So that's the new mobile suit...
Civilians aren't allowed here !
I've been in here before.
Why are YOU here ?
What ? ``Why''...? Because I'm a mechanic on this ship...
Sounds like a typical adult phrase, doesn't it ?
That's not what I'm asking.
It's about your relationship with Amuro Rei.
Relationship...
He's my superior officer.
No, you're lying.
I've finished my schooling in India...
...believing that I can become a New Type who can understand everyone.
That's why I'm interested in Amuro, but you're interfering.
``Interfering'' ?
It looks like it to me ! You, get off this ship !
Even if you say so, I won't.
If you don't, I'll...!
Quess ! Come back...
Shut up !
Grab on !
Oh, no !
Quess. There's the colony.
The colony ?!
It's Londenion, of Side 1.
There's a city inside the cylinder !
Lakes, too...
When I see it like this, I can believe that people will change.
I can understand why the Zabi family proclaimed its independence.
But the Zabi family of Zion was defeated by Earth, wasn't it ?
Yes, but...
Father and Earth are governing the people in space without understanding them, right ?
Yes. Char was once Earth's ally, but now he's decided to destroy us.
I can understand that.
The people on Earth are as obstinate and unchanging as ever...
...yet they want their wives and lovers to change.
So, in various ways, Char is trying to show them mankind's true potential.
But...does it justify freezing the Earth ?
I don't know.
Char doesn't seriously intend to freeze the Earth, does he ?
He's already started.
In order to freeze the Earth completely, he needs to drop one more asteroid.
But...the Federation is guarding all rocks in Luna's orbit.
So he's trying to obtain Sweet Water as a part of Neo-Zion's territory...
So Adenauer Paraya came to negotiate with him about it.
Yes, I think so.
Char fought beside us with the AEUG.
That's when he realized the true nature of Earth people and lost faith in them.
I know that.
That's why he's decided to settle everything.
Everything ?
Hey.
You've arrived in time for me to save the Earth.
Good luck with your negotiations.
Negotiations...? With whom ? Where ?
You normally govern from Lhasa. I don't think you'd come here just to take a walk.
Until there's a public announcement by the Federation...
...my presence here is top secret.
Yes, sir.
See you later.
Thank you for coming. I'm Cameron Bloom from the Finance Audit Office.
Thank you.
Be careful.
Quess !
Dismissed !
Captain Bright Noah...? I wonder how he and Mirai are doing.
There's tons of work !
They say that the sample from Oktober is down here.
That's good.
Can I see the inside of colony from here...?
Sure.
That new frame's a good idea.
Adenauer Paraya...
Officially, he's having us - Lond Bell - hunt down the last of the Zions.
But secretly, he's negotiating with Char.
He's a politician, after all.
Can you accept that ?
Well perhaps...
Wow ! It's the colony !
Yes. Five million people live in this old city.
Although you're usually gentle like this, sometimes you scare me...
Do I ?
You do.
Welcome.
I welcome you to Londenion, Sir.
He's meeting with Neo-Zion's people ?!
Is it okay if I take up Amuro's time ?
It's fine. We'll have fun when you're away.
Hathaway.
Father ?!
Tell her not to call your father about YOUR date.
Quess ?
I've been looking for you !
You can't dial direct on a warship, so I called the Captain - sorry !
It's alright.
Really ?
Yeah...
Have you finished charging that one ?
Yes, sir. Bring it here.
Yes. It's Halo, right ?
The Drake Hotel ? Amuro !
The leader himself...?!
We intend to show every courtesy to the Federation Government in these negotiations.
We trust you from the bottom of our hearts, Your Excellency.
That's fine.
Is the sealed letter authentic ?
Of course it is.
The Federation Government had already moved out before Fifth Luna hit Lhasa...
...and I've arranged for some influential people here.
What sealed letter ?
If you accept those conditions...
...we will transfer ownership of the asteroid ``Axis'' to Neo-Zion.
What... ?
Halo !
Hathaway.
Okay.
I heard all about Halo from Mom.
That's the third one. Take good care of it.
Of course.
After our Neo-Zion fleet surrenders on Luna-2...
...you'll move Axis towards Sweet Water, right ?
If you don't accept all of those conditions, the peace talks will be broken off.
Gold bullion... What the...?!
I ask you to verify the price for Axis.
He's from the Accounting Office.
Yes...
Now that Axis is ours...
...I'd like our fleet to transport Axis to Sweet Water.
Why ?
If they lose their jobs now, we can't pay for their unemployment.
That's true... it is a problem, isn't it...
I see. I'll consider getting them jobs in the Federation.
Besides, when you move Axis...
...you can use its nuclear engines, so you won't have any problems.
We can still use those old engines ? That's amazing !
Well then...
Those stuck up...!
But if Lond Bell knew we were here, all hell would break loose.
You're right.
Amuro...I'm doing something evil. If you're near, search me out...
I'm not going to the city.
Yes, sir.
Sieg Zion \C5(seig(zi:k) = victory)
Sieg Zion....
Wow !
Follow that swan, Amuro !
YOU !
What's wrong ?!
Call Gyunei !
Yes, sir !
What're you doing here ?!
Unlike you, I'm more than just a pilot !
What ?!
That's...Char ?!
You fought on our side ! Why're you trying to destroy Earth ?!
The people remaining on Earth just contaminate it !
Their souls are bound by gravity !
That's why married people quarrel, but they don't separate.
Is that so ?
CHAR !
Why ?!
Earth can't hold all the egos of humanity !
People's wisdom can overcome that !
Then why don't you give THAT wisdom to all those fools right now ?!
That's right ! Because he can't do that...
I'll do that after I kill you !
Amuro ! You're blind !
Do you want to come with me ?
Captain !
If you're busy...
So it's you, Cameron.
Thank you for coming.
What're you doing here, away from the Finance Audit Office ?
Mirai...how's your wife ?
I haven't seen her for 6 months. She's been on Earth all this time.
I see...
Something wrong... ?
I'm just puzzled as to whom I should talk...
Char's in this colony.
What ?
Char Aznable met here with a high-ranking official of the Federation Government.
With Adenauer Paraya...?
Not just him. Many others as well...
They think they've made peace with Char.
That's...
Nice taste. How much would you take for her ?
Stop joking. She's not for sale.
They're here.
So they got here in time...
We're going out into space, what would you do, Lady Quess ?
What about the army's movements ?
Nothing yet.
There's a nasty woman on the La Kailum.
Oh, really ? Okay then...
What is it ?
You don't know Char's true nature !
He bought Axis with gold, which will help the Federation's welfare policy !
If we didn't sell, Char said he'd destroy the colonies !
He won't destroy the colonies ! He'll just destroy everyone left on Earth !
I'll go to Luna-2 and prepare to accept their disarmament.
Disarmament ? Why don't you let Lond Bell do that ?
Be careful.
Say, can I borrow a phone ?
Yes, sir.
I can't let Char's fleet come near the colonies !
Sir...
Lond Bell will move independently, then !
Naturally. Move whenever you think it's necessary to protect Earth.
Why isn't Quess at the hotel ?
Captain, pass the message on to her. Tell her to stay in the hotel for a few days.
Yes, sir.
I'm closing it.
I'm floating !
Using this...
I know. Although it's older than the Jegan, I understand it.
Really ?
Like this ?
Try to face the launch in front.
Is this really your first time ?
Now, a somersault !
That's...
Is that Quess ?
Yeah. She's talented, isn't she ?
The Musaka's arrived.
S...stop !
What's that ?!
Don't approach without permission !
It's alright.
C'mon. They already think I'm a nuisance because I'm from the New Type research lab.
I'll be on your side.
So you hate Earth... There're so many bad memories there, aren't there, Lady Quess ?
Why are you interested in me ?
You said that people's souls were bound by Earth's gravity.
I strongly feel that way, too...
But I wondered if people who can understand it might be unfortunate.
I intend to follow the path I believe in.
When I saw the swan fly and Amuro cried out, I cried out, too.
Then you showed up.
So you betrayed Amuro and the others ?
I just met them by chance. We weren't friends yet.
You said you wanted to get a space license, but it's not gonna be easy.
If I find a job in the Public Colony Corp., the repair work will keep me busy.
Without practical experience...
Is a 50-month loan okay ?
Ouch...
After only four or five times... She's definitely it, isn't she ?
Yes. Quess' brain interfaces with the Psychommu perfectly.
Quess, you know the target, don't you ?
Yes !
Then the Funnels will attack automatically, okay ?
Okay !
Release Funnels !
Okay !
I can control them with just my brain waves ?!
Visualize the target !
Visualize ?
Go, Funnels !
Now order the Funnels to attack !
The Funnels...
Is this it ? Funnels !
She's the same as the other girl...
Please.
For the leader.
For the Captain ?
From her over there, for the leader.
Thank you.
Sieg Zion !
Sieg Zion ! Sieg Zion ! Sieg...
To the light of the stars... on this our thoughts depend...
If we embrace the burning galaxy in our hearts...
Someday we will hold the dream in our hands...
Char's believing, we pray !
Style is not everything you have, Captain ?
Is that so strange ?
No... Will you destroy Earth, then ?
I won't destroy it. I want it to rest awhile.
Oh ! Is that what you mean ?
The training didn't give you a headache, did it ?
No. Of course not.
Gyunei, be prepared for the operation the day after tomorrow.
Yes, sir !
Are you sure ? The operation's no game after tomorrow.
Of course !
Captain !
Rest well tonight.
Go !
When you drop Axis on Earth, Earth'll suffer a nuclear winter.
That's an atrocious act that no leader's ever done.
Are you sure it's alright, Captain Char ?
Don't preach to me after it's started, Nanai.
I believe that the humans who've gone into space will be changed.
However, in order to make the entire human race into New Types...
...someone must carry the burden of destroying Earth.
Does that make it right, though ?
Captain, you thought of this plan just to get even with Amuro, didn't you ?
Do you think I'm such a small man ?
Amuro Rei is mistaken to believe that kindness can be a New Type's weapon.
Women may forgive someone like that...
...but you can't forgive Amuro, Captain.
During the Zion Independence War, Lalah Sun, the pilot I was taking care of...
...found the gentleness she wanted in an enemy pilot, Amuro.
I can understand that that was the sympathy between New Types.
Lalah ! Don't play with the enemy !
Captain ! You mustn't !
What ?!
If my sister Artesia hadn't been there...
Damn !
Lalah !
Lalah... I wanted you to guide me...
Because we had sensed our feelings toward each other...
What's the matter ?
People who're too much alike will hate each other.
``Too much love, 100 fold hatred.'' Is that it ?
Well... I'm counting on you during the operation tomorrow.
I'll go on ahead to Axis and wait for you.
About Quess... Will she be alright ?
Do you think she needs to be enhanced even more ?
No. She's a New Type who can control the Funnels even without the Psycho Frame.
I agree.
I'd hoped that your decision to inherit the name of Zion Daikun had changed you, but...
Damn !
Spending so much time with a little girl !
This war's just to vent his frustrations.
What ?
When someone like the Captain gets mad, he'll destroy the colonies.
When that happens, there should be someone who can stop him, right ?
That's why I've been enhanced into a New Type.
Because my parents were killed with a colony...
Lewd bunch !
So, you want to be an Esper ?
Yes. But I've realized that I can't become like you just by enhancement in a lab.
So, I'll stay with you and study you.
You want to go steady with me ?
Does my age bother you ?
You're burning with jealousy because I love the Captain !
You're wrong !
So the shuttles won't leave for a while ?
They say that the company'll evacuate from Hong Kong.
Are they lying about peace ?
This time, Hong Kong's the target.
Is the asteroid going to fall ?
If Char's involved, he'll do it. I know because I fought him before.
The people of Earth are getting worse...
Char's so pure-minded.
This colony of Sweet Water...
...was constructed by joining two others, and is extremely fragile.
It was hastily constructed, for the benefit of refugees of the war.
But that's all the Federation's done for the refugees.
They believe that we're satisfied because we have the colonies...
...and they shut themselves away on Earth and didn't free the planet for all of us.
When my father, Zion Daikun, demanded the right of self-government...
...for the immigrants to space, called the Spacenoids...
...he was assassinated by the Zabi family.
Then the Zabi family used the name Zion Archduchy...
...and started the War of Independence against Earth.
As you all know, this resulted in the Zabi's defeat.
That was alright !
However, that also resulted in the bloating of the Earth Government...
...it corrupted from inside...
...and created the Titans, the anti-Federation Government movement.
...then it allowed Haman, who claimed to be the remains of the Zabi, to grow strong.
This is the history that created the refugees !
I knew everything.
Now, I realize that the human race must never repeat war again !
That is the true reason for dropping Axis on Earth.
By doing this, we'll punish the people on Earth...
...who're causing war around Earth !
Captain ! He's Sweet Water's savior !
Is the story about disarming at Luna-2 a lie ?
My friends ! In order to prepare our own way...
...in order to achieve government for the sake of the refugees...
I need your aid a little while longer !
Then I'll be able to rest in peace with my father !
It's Reurula, isn't it ? Do you think the dummies will fool them ?
The people in the navy are happy as long as the number of the ships is correct.
While the fleet with some dummies knock out Luna-2, you will invade Axis.
If all goes well, will you go so far as to use Luna-2's nuclear weapons ?
Yes. They'll not only accelerate Axis, they'll contaminate Earth as well...
How many nuclear weapons have been stored on Luna-2 ?
Well, there are enough to annihilate Neo-Zion's fleet a hundred times over.
Char knows that. He's not stupid.
Are you saying that we, Lond Bell, want to wage war ?
Yes...It looks that way on Earth.
Vice-Minister. It's an image from Sweet Water. On the upper monitor.
Yes...the reception's excellent.
The flagship Reurula is in the rear.
The number is right. No, one ship more than we were told.
Char's honest.
Now, Earth's enemy'll be something like extraterrestrials.
Will there be any new jobs for the army ?
There's a mountain of seashore cleanup work on Earth.
Bon Voyage ! Our glorious Neo-Zion fleet !
The sorrow of parting won't fade, but this image will remain in our hearts.
There are fifteen nuclear warheads in addition to those on Luna-2...
But because they've been under the Finance Office's control...
...they're like exhibits for a museum, so be careful.
You won't take the blame ?
If the current government survives, I'll receive a life sentence.
Is that all right for you ?
I'm doing this because I want Mirai to survive.
It sounds admirable for an ex-fiance to say so.
Thanks. That broadcast about Neo-Zion's fleet departing for disarmament...
...it's a lie, isn't it ?
Probably. It's just a pretense.
I can't shake Quess off no matter how hard I try.
That's incredible.
The target's path with respect to Luna-2, set !
Good. Lock on target. All guns, maximum angle of elevation !
Take in the Jagd Dogas !
That brat's going into real combat ?!
Why not ?!
What did the ``enhanced man'' say ?
I'm a New Type !
Gyunei, stop dealing with ORDINARY people.
Lezun !
Stop !
Yeah, right. You sounded different.
I think so !
How cute.
Pull in the Alpha Aziel !
Fire tractor wires !
Neo-Zion fleet detected ! Same number as launched from Sweet Water !
Captain ! Why isn't our Cruppe at the front ?
Our position is an insult to Char !
I have to assure your safety !
They're deploying sideways ?
They're supposed to enter in a line !
Launch recon squadron !
It's time for the attack !
Sir !
Mobile suit squadrons, launch thirty seconds after the bombardment's begun.
Multiple heat sources !
What ?!
Evasive !
This is insane ! They're violating the treaty !
Quess, just try to get the feel of a real battle. Stick with me !
Roger !
A...amazing !
They're here !
I'll wipe them out myself !
Here they come !
Shit !
The battle...?!
Gyunei !
Stay away !
Our objective is to seize Luna-2.
Quess !
They're hiding in there ?!
Why don't we retreat ?!
Our allies would be destroyed !
It's coming !
What ?! The enemy ?!
Everyone ! Die !
I did it, didn't I ?
It's dangerous, Quess !
The damage isn't too bad. It won't blow up. It's fine !
Why, you... !
I'll destroy the Federation forces all by myself !
Quess, are you OK ?!
Why...why do I feel so awful ?!
