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!
People in space have lost all reason.
That's why I'm gonna destroy everything.
Quatre.
I'm not leaving.
Here's a colony that needs to be defended.
Trowa!
The five of us have become redundant soldiers.
The Eternal Flame of the Shooting Star
Carriers are in the atmosphere and approaching.
Their target is obviously this base!
Must be the new models.
Do you think they're all mobile dolls?
Probably.
They're not sending many to crush this base.
But we're the Treize Faction.
We can't be defeated.
Operation Nova.
Upon completion of their mobile doll assembly line...
...the Romefeller Foundation sends mobile dolls to Earth...
...to eliminate the Treize Faction.
To gain complete control on Earth...
...they attack areas with any chance of retaliation...
...and force people to obey the Foundation.
Get as close as possible...
...before they use their beam cannons!
That's our only way to win!
Enemy approaching!
Charge!
Operation Nova!
Space has a bad habit of sending menaces to Earth.
The Romefeller Foundation...
...produced the unmanned suits called mobile dolls...
...to increase its power as it took over the world.
However, a voice within the Foundation...
...denounced the use of mobile dolls.
The voice of OZ's leader, Treize Kushrenada.
Duke Dermail.
I can't support the Romefeller Foundation in its current path.
What?!
Tradition is a kind of history.
It's the history of sympathy, built on people's true feelings.
I think fighting in wars can indeed be beautiful.
I'd also like to express my regret over the lost souls...
...by appealing to how priceless man's life is.
Treize objected to battles that employed mobile dolls...
...and therefore made humans unnecessary.
So he thought to dissolve OZ.
However, with the desire to maintain their force...
...the higher powers within Romefeller...
...tried to resolve the situation by confining Treize.
This resulted in encouraging some OZ soldiers...
...who also disagreed with the mobile dolls, to unite.
They called themselves the "Treize Faction"...
...and rose against the Foundation's plan to rule.
Is that so?
I see it won't be easy dealing with the soldiers...
... who respect Colonel Treize.
Damn Treize!
We've got more important things to do!
Tubarov.
We'll have to increase production...
...of mobile dolls for Earth.
Not to worry.
Things are going smoothly here in space.
We've managed to capture the new Gundams...
... and their pilots.
I shall destroy them here at the Lunar Base.
It's possible that the Gundams are being used...
...as a symbol for the rebels.
Tubarov, get rid of them.
Yes, sir.
Things can only get worse by confining Colonel Treize.
Our opposition must be eliminated.
That's the easiest and best way to deal with this.
Get out!
Stop!
Trowa!
I'm the one who did this to you.
Forgive me, Trowa.
Damn you!
We have permission from Commander Tubarov...
...to execute you Gundam pilots!
Try that again and you can kiss your butt good-bye!
Heero!
So you'd prefer to die here?!
The Treize Faction?!
He's caught up with all the targets.
He's very rapid.
His reaction speed surpasses all expectations.
Keep testing.
I'm increasing the simulation level.
Lieutenant Trant.
Commander Tubarov is on the line.
Right.
Commander!
This cockpit system penetrates the pilot's brain waves...
... and increases his combat abilities.
Our test pilot is reacting...
... as quick as the mobile dolls.
Then you haven't listened to my orders, Trant.
The orders I issued were to destroy that Gundam.
Because of Lady Une's revolt...
... the five Gundam engineers are now hiding within the base.
I can't have you wasting your time!
But sir!
I'm convinced this system could be utilized...
...with the OZ mobile suits!
We could use this Gundam's system!
Our purpose here is to eradicate the Gundams!
What's the point of depending on its system?!
Erase the Gundams from the universe!
Follow my orders!
Commander Tubarov is betting everything on the mobile dolls.
Our hands are tied.
What shall we do now, Lieutenant Trant?
Scrapping it will be simple.
But first I'd like to have one piece of data.
The data on the pilots...
...that can fight as well as the mobile dolls.
Good.
His brain waves haven't been affected.
What does this test determine?
We're checking how the cockpit system of Wing Zero...
...influences the pilot's brain waves.
No problem!
That system is flawless.
A decision was made by the Romefeller Foundation...
...to confine Treize Kushrenada.
As a result, OZ's forces have split into two factions.
Lady Une has been shot.
We don't know whether she's dead or alive.
But Romefeller regards her as an offender.
The other two pilots, Duo Maxwell and Wu Fei Chang...
...escaped during OZ's internal unrest.
But both of their Gundams are still only 80% complete.
They only need minor adjustments, though.
With a little time those two pilots can probably finish...
...the Gundams themselves.
How about Trowa Barton?
He's been MIA since the Vayeate was destroyed.
Probably dead.
The possibility of his surviving is very low.
Our force will be diminished.
But that can't be helped.
And that's our current situation.
Did you get all that, Heero?
Got it.
Now I'll explain the Treize Faction on this base.
Wait a minute!
Please look into Trowa Barton's whereabouts!
I know he's alive!
There are lots of colonies in that area!
I know he'd be able to survive!
That's some personality...
A little questionable for a soldier.
That's why the Gundam Zero ended up in enemy hands...
...even with that system installed.
What?!
The system amplifies and controls...
...brain waves for fighting.
It also brings battle results...
...greater than the pilot could normally ever achieve.
It would've been okay if the pilot saw OZ as the enemy.
But the mind-warping side effects...
...caused a target error.
The pilot was incomplete as a soldier...
...so he attacked his very own allies.
Extremely regrettable.
Especially since the Vayeate, Mercurius and new Gundam...
...could've demolished the Lunar Base at once.
Because of your training...
...your athletic abilities and tactical imagination...
...are brought to perfection.
But as soldiers you're far from perfect, mentally.
This latest incident has made that flaw very clear.
You must become perfect soldiers!
Otherwise you won't survive...
...the golden age of the mobile dolls.
Or if you'd rather, go insane!
That's what wars do to people!
Gundam Wing
What's your opinion of the Wing Zero system?
I have no idea.
I never knew that unit had been completed.
I was focusing on the large beam cannon...
...and didn't pay attention to the cockpit system.
The beam cannon hasn't been retrieved yet.
The main weapons...
...are the beam saber and wing vulcans on its shoulders.
Are you planning to fight Heero?
In either case we can't leave Gundam Zero...
...in enemy hands.
Heero.
I've been wondering who our allies are...
...and who our enemies are in this war.
I get confused thinking about it.
Quatre...
The ones after your life...
...and the targets you try to defeat are the enemy.
But what if you were mistaken?
Quatre.
We're not mistaken.
But it's possible that this period of war has gone nuts.
They've located the gates to Blocks A and B!
A large number of soldiers are headed this way!
Members of the Treize Faction.
We've surrounded your hideout.
I have reservations about fighting former comrades...
... without talking things over first.
We can avoid futile bloodshed.
We're completely surrounded.
So they want to negotiate.
Firstly, I can't promise to release all of you.
However, I guarantee that you'll live.
As long as we can cooperate.
I didn't know you doctors were in there.
What are your demands?
We'd like you to hand over the Gundam pilots.
Because we want to record combat data on the Gundam.
Looks like they noticed.
The system is just as attractive to OZ.
There's no choice.
We'll surrender the pilots.
I'm afraid I can't promise to save your lives, doctors.
Headquarters was pretty adamant about their decision.
We've survived this long.
But our lucky streak's over.
I'm prepared for the worst.
First they want us as hostages.
Good way to treat us.
But the fact that we're hostages won't stop Heero.
Heero, is there a problem?!
Not really.
Tell them to start.
Right.
Make him fight the mobile doll data!
Sir!
He's good.
He isn't a Gundam pilot for nothing.
He's better than mobile dolls?
He hasn't reached his limit yet.
Check his fastest reaction.
A system that can beat mobile dolls.
To say that humans are unnecessary in a battle...!
Heero.
It's human beings that fight against each other.
But those humans now depend on machines...
...for the strength to fight.
Heero, it's mistaken!
This Gundam is a mistake!
These combat abilities are extremely high.
Incredible!
My... my enemies...
My enemies are the people after my life!
What?!
Heero!!
Hey!
Remember, we've got hostages!
Heero!!!
Increase the number of mobile dolls.
- That'll work! - Right!
Heero...
No, you're not Heero!
My enemies are the people after my life.
And the ones that toy with my life.
They're all my enemies.
Hostages don't mean anything to those guys.
Because we created targets for Heero to fight.
It's OZ and ourselves that aren't needed in outer space.
That system disrupts the balance in the human mind.
The fact that we're using it to beat the mobile dolls...
...proves that our minds have already been warped.
Well, shall we go?
To get killed?
I wish they'd eventually be defeated by this age of war.
Contact Commander Tubarov for backup!
How can we tell him about our blunder, you fool?!
What's that, Lieutenant?!
Stop!
What are you doing?!
Stop!!
You people don't want to die here, do you?
I'll stop him from attacking!
What?!
He can destroy this entire base!
Trowa said there's no sense having one pilot run amuck...
...in a mobile suit.
This war won't end...
...if people keep fighting on their own!
Heero.
That cockpit increases your combat abilities.
But you lose control.
If I lost control because of that cockpit...
... then I've lost something important...
... because of some worthless machinery!
I don't want to lose anything else that's important to me.
Quatre.
I've got a very clear view of the enemy.
If you're going to be an enemy, then I'll have to kill you.
That Gundam is all on its own.
But we mustn't fight alone!
You lose sight of the target when you fight alone!
I can see my target!
I see my enemy!
There's still a self-detonation system left in this suit.
If you won't stop fighting...
...I'll destroy these two mobile suits right now!
These mobile suits are the least needed things...
...in outer space!
There's one thing outer space needs even less.
Outer space needs the Gundams.
And I'll fight to defend space!
We aren't...
We aren't needed in outer space!
What...?
We mustn't fight each other.
Relena...
Heero...
Who are you?!
You're from Earth.
Am I right?
Heero.
Let's go to the Earth.
The Earth was kind to us.
We ended up surviving again.
And so did this guy.
Is it necessary for the future?
We'll let the next pilot decide.
Those boys are not about to be defeated by this suit.
To be continued
The rise and fall of the victorious repeats itself.
People get tossed around by a history of disputes.
Caught within the flames of war...
...the Gundam pilots wander without a destination.
What did they lose, and what did they gain?
And what words does Relena have after observing them?
