Gundam Wing Just wild beat communication
Standing in the lashing rain
I want to show my passionate, undying feelings
With my entire body tonight!
I hold onto your wet shoulders to give you warmth and comfort
What are those shivering fingertips wandering after?
I want to protect the honest look in your eye
Believing in the love that'll change sorrow to strength
Just wild beat communication
Standing in the lashing rain
I want to show my passionate, undying feelings
With my entire body tonight!
You're telling me to get off...?
Sandrock!
Thank you, my dear Sandrock!
Tallgeese Destroyed
We've confirmed the engineers’ identity.
All five of them?
Yes, ma’am!
As suspected, they were all involved...
... in OZ mobile suit development, in the past.
I see.
All five of them disappeared...
... and have been missing since the Tallgeese development.
Or rather, since completing the Tallgeese blueprint.
The Tallgeese?
Isn't that the mobile suit Colonel Zechs is using?
Also called the Leo Prototype?
Yes, it was built twenty years ago.
But it's still regarded as the most powerful built on Earth.
Most powerful is hardly the appropriate term.
Ma’am.
It wouldn't be the most powerful unless all soldiers agreed.
We'll have them make us a suit.
A mobile suit that's more powerful than the Tallgeese.
No, more powerful than the Gundams!
Captain, I've brought Colonel Zechs here to see you.
Thank you.
Please excuse the small room.
Have a seat.
You don't need that for Colonel Zechs.
You're dismissed!
Sir!
Sorry to make you uncomfortable, Zechs.
Don't concern yourself, Your Excellency.
I'm prepared to face a court martial.
As long as you continue to be a strong force...
...for the Romefeller Foundation...
...I foresee no problems with the court martial.
A strong force...?
The Romefeller Foundation is concerned about the Gundams.
They're the most powerful mobile suits on Earth.
Would you continue to fight as our knight...
...to defeat the Gundams?
Your Excellency.
I'm sorry.
I don't believe I can follow Romefeller's ideas any longer.
Pardon?
I've been fighting the Gundams out of personal feelings.
And that's something which has no place in a war.
My battle with the Gundams is over.
I see...
In that case, Zechs, sacrifice your life for OZ.
A guilty verdict in court for your conduct...
...would be a big blow to OZ.
But if you died an honorable death, soldiers would mourn...
...and develop a stronger will to fight.
Naturally, the higher powers in Romefeller will be satisfied.
The name Lightning Count will live on as a legendary hero.
That'd be wonderful.
Your death would have that much value to it.
If you died, you'd be free.
Farewell, Zechs Merquise.
Once this ship has been evacuated...
...fifty Aries and twenty Cancers will attack it.
They'll be manned by Alliance survivors...
...trying to win the Foundation's attention.
I heard this mission is to allow you to escape unnoticed...
...by the higher powers.
But given the enemy and the sheer numbers...
...there's no room for escape.
That's right.
This is a test in order to survive as Treize's friend.
No matter what I do...
...I can't escape from what he has planned for me.
Commence simulation!
So this is the mobile doll system.
We used an old model of the Leo.
So we program them by remote.
But no such problem exists with our Taurus space mobile doll.
Wonderful abilities.
These would reinforce our soldiers, wouldn't they...
...Chief Engineer?
In fact, they'll replace soldiers as the main force in the near future.
What's that?!
Someone's attacking us!
They're not responding!
Perfect target for the mobile dolls.
Order to attack!
Enemy spy?! How foolish!
Transmission from the enemy Leo!
Colonel Treize!!
What?!
Discontinue attack! Stop firing!!
I thought I'd represent human soldiers...
...and propose a battle against the mobile dolls.
Hoping to die, Colonel Treize?!
Mobile dolls don't show mercy like a human soldier would.
If mobile dolls are superior, then I don't belong here.
I think we could vie for superiority here and now.
Here goes!
He's insane!
Never mind; kill the Colonel!!
Sir...!!
It's an order!
He's trying to kill us!
Get him!
No! I can't!
Then I will!
Stop it, Chief Engineer!
Silence!!
This is Treize Kushrenada.
Murder Tubarov!
Yes, sir!
What the hell?!
No, stop!!
I'm assassinating you, under the orders of Colonel Treize!
It's over.
Chief Engineer Tubarov.
Wars are about more than fighting with mobile suits.
We claim victory.
I retract my order.
Mobile dolls and soldiers both take their orders from humans.
I ask that you place more value on humans and learn to love them.
Hurry up and return, Zechs.
If you're not around to help...
...OZ will allow worthless actions by worthless people.
It's coming!
The shuttle that avoided OZ's surveillance!
Just as I thought.
This course isn't frequented by OZ.
Then we can capture ourselves a Gundam sir?
More accurately, a Gundam pilot.
The shuttle coming isn't equipped for mobile suit transport.
Then what do you plan to achieve by restraining the pilot?
The Gundam pilot has returned to space so it can fight OZ.
We're after the same enemies.
So I'll negotiate with the pilot to join forces!
Shouldn't we hand the pilot over to OZ...
...in exchange for a guarantee of our safety?
Negotiations are meaningless with an organization...
...that has a record of playing dirty.
Our one and only chance is to fight head on!
Objects approaching at high speed.
Probably OZ's Taurus mobile suits!
There's five!
We have twenty space Leos; we have the advantage!
I told you not to underestimate OZ!
OZ already knows that survivors...
...from the Alliance Space Forces are hiding here!
They CAN defeat us, with just five Tauruses!!
We'll fight for the survival of the Alliance.
Don't let them get the Gundam pilot!!
Why were the Alliance suits deployed?!
Flying object approaching the retreating troops!
What?!
The Gundam?
Did these guys find one of the Gundams that had left Earth?
All enemy suits headed here are space battle Leos!
Roger.
Provide the mobile dolls with all target information.
Take over here.
- I'm going after the shuttle! - Yes, sir!
So, now they can utilize unmanned mobile suits.
They probably saw them as a valid weapon in space...
...since the battleground has no obstacles.
Battling without getting your hands dirty is merely a game.
Foolish are those who start wars.
But the blood shed during battle is never a waste.
Foolish people see the bloodshed and learn to regret their actions.
But once war turns into a game it becomes mere entertainment.
I wish they'd just declare a winner to this game.
Then nobody would have to die.
Assuming the opponent has the technology.
We don't lack the technology!
But soldiers sense the responsibilities of combat...
...if they don't use automated functions!
You've got the technology?
Then you could earn the right to live longer!
I can't do it.
I'd rather die than construct such a thing.
Youngsters always want to think things out rationally.
But war itself is anything but rational.
I was going to give you the chance to build a mobile suit...
...superior to the Tallgeese and Gundams you built.
Kill us!
I have no intentions of lending a hand...
...in a futile war drawn out on a game board.
Negotiations are over.
Colonel!
Chief Officer Nichol is on the line.
What is it, Nichol?
Colonel Une.
I intercepted the Alliance's transmission.
They're gonna team up with a Gundam pilot!
Those imbeciles.
Wipe out all of them!!
Yes, ma’am!
They're fast!
Five suits at once?!
The enemy suits’ speed has accelerated to 8G!
He's superhuman!
The main Alliance forces are demolished!
We'll seize the shuttle!
Seize?
What's the point?
We don't need a Gundam pilot without his Gundam.
- Kill him! - Roger!
Wait!
Hand me the communication set!
Sure.
This is Quatre.
My good friends who have returned to outer space.
Let's do our very best to protect the colonies.
He's using Heero's frequency.
He's an outstanding soldier.
He has the ability to bring the five Gundam pilots together.
This is Quatre.
My good friends who have returned to outer space.
Let's do our very best to protect the colonies.
Stop them from firing at the shuttle!
Well, well.
So you can have pity for your men.
Then we have an understanding.
Who'd have thought we'd end up making a Gundam for OZ?
Not exactly.
I want you to make a mobile suit better than the Gundams.
Gundam Wing
He's just a kid!
This kid is a Gundam pilot?!
But he's so young!
Captain!
All the Tauruses are headed this way!
That's fast.
Fight them as far away from the shuttle as possible!
Roger!
I'm not going to let you die.
We've caught up with the shuttle!
Stop attacking the shuttle!
All Taurus units, move away from the shuttle's route!
What?!
Stop our attack?!
Orders are to leave the shuttle alone.
We're all free to roam in space.
But we must get rid of the junk we find along the way.
Nichol!
Blow it up!
Roger.
Look after the space Leos and I'll head after the shuttle!
Still no word from the shuttle.
So I'll start to clean up the route!
What?!
The shuttle just fired at a Leo!
Life on the shuttle!
All suits, destroy the shuttle!
Fire!!
Our forces don't have the strength to retaliate against OZ.
But I'm sure that young pilot can do it.
I certainly hope my instincts prove to be right.
Let's do our very best...
...to protect the colonies.
Your ride has arrived.
How did repairs on the Tallgeese go, sir?
Thanks to your people's help, everything's in order.
Thank you.
Captain!
The radar's picking up objects from point 0430 behind us!
They're here.
Just on time!
Which means they're gonna sink this ship.
I'm sorry.
Give it your best shot.
I don't know what to think, but, Colonel...
Win this battle!
Thank you!
Good-bye!
Let's get going, Tallgeese!
Fifty Aries and twenty Cancers.
I'll prove they underestimated the value of my life!
How many more?!
Nice move!
But I'm not gonna die yet!!
Treize, stop following me around!
Or else I'll just want to fulfill your radical hopes.
This friendship of the past...
...will only last until the day my mask breaks!
Treize...
I can no longer be your friend.
Farewell, Treize!!
The planet in the solar system...
...that miraculously gave birth to life.
We call it Earth.
The year After Colony 195.
With the colonies' development, people live in new surroundings.
Thanks to plentiful natural resources...
...and cultivated technological abilities.
However, this new world is nothing but an imitation...
...of humankind's motherland, the Earth.
Why were the colonies created in the first place?
I hear the main purpose was technological development...
...to enrich mankind's life on Earth.
Did man start asking too much from this fake world?
Its colony's self-sustained way of life is more stable than on Earth...
...since it lacks the risk of natural disasters.
It appears that this unlimited growth...
...was guaranteeing the eternal existence of mankind.
Perhaps there was an age...
...when people dreamed they could start anew in outer space.
But it's unthinkable that the colonies or mankind...
...will ever forget the Earth.
What did the colonies' technology bring to the Earth?
The kind of technology the Earth wants most; military power.
Destruction is in human nature and can never be eliminated.
And now, the colonies are developing a militaristic disposition.
The colonies cannot forget the Earth.
The Earth has great beauty.
Animals known as humans have acquired such strength...
...that they want to control this planet for themselves.
From the point of view of an entire planet...
...the life of a living thing lasts no more than an instant.
But in the end, mankind only thinks of itself.
Nothing changes.
The time spent by humans in outer space has been a waste.
In reality, the ideal is just a dream.
This false pacifism.
This false living space.
Outer space is a breeding ground for even more battles.
Wars claim many lives.
Mankind hasn't forgotten the sorrow caused by wars...
...yet they haven't stopped fighting.
The blood and tears they shed are merely ceremonial.
One can't speak of history...
...without referring to the wars in each era as important events.
I'm sure the pale pep talks of fighting for peace...
...have been repeated numerous times in the past.
The colonies say they need armaments to maintain peace.
It's no different from on Earth.
The colonies think they've joined the big boys.
They believed the bloodshed would lead...
Okay, that's enough Duo Maxwell!
Let's avoid that subject.
It's making your classmates uncomfortable.
I don't feel it was appropriate for your greeting speech.
Now, Duo, please be seated at the back.
So why do people fight?
The meaning of existence could lie in their will to fight.
People feel accomplishment through battle.
And it's also a fact that the ones actually fighting...
...are never perceived as being tainted.
To be continued
Next Episode
There's no glory or praise...
...for the Gundam pilots returning to the colonies.
Only orders to destroy OZ.
Gundam Deathscythe battles the Tauruses in outer space.
But Duo is defeated and taken prisoner by OZ.
To keep confidentiality, Heero searches for Duo to kill him.
