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!
The Heroine of the Battlefield
The Romefeller Foundation's enforced rule...
...has caused disputes to spring up around the world.
Our country has declared itself a peaceful nation...
...and we've been trying to avoid resistance.
We'd be guaranteed peace if we let them control us.
But you couldn't really call that true peace.
It'd be a method of oppression.
It'd lead to a new despotic rule and more disputes.
I certainly hope that we're making the right decisions.
Over the ages, the world has had many countries...
...many races, and many ways of thinking.
Perhaps we should accept the fact...
...that some disputes in the past were unavoidable.
Freedom is a right given to all people.
But we must realize that people can't be given complete freedom.
What we need in order to attain harmony...
...is to be thoughtful to others.
A peaceful future doesn't lie in fighting.
It's our job to learn from our past...
...and use that experience to build a new and correct future.
I was afraid that our nation alone...
...couldn't act against the Romefeller Foundation.
So was I.
But Total Pacifism...
...as advocated by the late King Peacecraft...
...is well rooted here in the Sanc Kingdom.
Its presence is a strong support.
I'm aware that my speech and behavior...
...seem impudent despite the fact...
...that I'm following my father's teachings.
But it's my sincere hope that more countries...
...and more people can one day attain true peace.
To that end I ask for your assistance.
Let us work together!
For true peace!
The meeting ended without a hitch.
It's not as if we're watching every move you people make.
It's just that your meeting ended so soon.
We're determined to get our way.
That's probably why the meeting didn't take long.
We'll be on our way, since we're not needed.
We're ruining the view.
We don't necessarily dislike the Romefeller Foundation.
We just want you to rectify your mistakes.
And do it before many people lose their lives.
Count Townsend!
We've found two space suits.
It appears that only the two landed here.
Roger.
There's no reason for caution.
- You may return. - Yes, sir.
The Space Colonies and Romefeller have joined forces.
The Gundam pilots' missions are over.
Orders are out to execute the Gundam pilots.
Executing them would be easy.
Although our country is under Romefeller's rule...
...I'd rather not get rid of them yet.
Not big on animals, Quatre?
I love them.
Then play with the dogs.
It seems they'd rather play with you anyway.
Animals have the natural ability to sense kindness in people.
Is kindness necessary in a war?
No.
Not while you're fighting.
But kindness is probably needed the rest of the time.
This isn't the time to fight.
Thanks for the meal.
Sorry to trouble you.
Especially considering there are orders to execute us.
Fortunately headquarters contacted us and will be...
...picking up you Gundam pilots.
I'm glad; it means I don't have to carry out the orders.
But I'll still have to hand you over to them...
...when the time comes.
We can't trouble you any more than we already have.
It's your job to hand us over.
You're gonna surrender without a fight?
We won't know what we'll do till the time comes.
But we won't die aimlessly.
You guys are certainly strong.
We're involved in Romefeller's control policies...
...but we have doubts.
Getting involved was our only choice to avoid futile battle.
You made the correct decision, to protect the people's lives.
I think that's the same decision our people in space made.
To the Romefeller Foundation...
...we Gundam pilots are a mere obstruction.
Anyone who's after our lives is an enemy.
We have to fight to survive.
That's the one and only thing...
...that we can and must carry out.
It's that simple.
If you don't wanna die, that is.
Attention, carrier!
Surrender at once!
We have orders to shoot you down!
I repeat.
Surrender at once.
The sea's gotta be cold at a latitude of 50.
But still, I can't simply give the craft up to OZ!
There it is.
Get a move on!
Sally Po.
Just be thankful you got a fireplace.
The new OZ is a warm- hearted organization.
You're only treating me like a special guest...
...until you confirm what's in the carrier, I suppose?
We were told to watch for rebels...
...who would help the Gundam pilots once they took action.
But we didn't expect to get our hands on a Gundam!
So it's true that the Gundam pilots have returned to Earth.
I've gotta make sure I deliver it to them.
Damn.
More and more nations are taking sides with Romefeller.
It's gonna be a rocky road.
The metal detector won't be able to pick up the Gundam.
But it'll pick up the carrier, so find it.
Yes, sir!
- What's wrong?! - Enemies?!
Who are you?
I want the truth.
Is that the real thing at the bottom of the sea?
I might tell a lie so that you'll free me.
I wanna retaliate against Romefeller...
...so I need the Gundam.
You're fighting the same enemy.
So decide if you wanna negotiate.
My time's run out!
Let's go!
So it IS real then.
That's why the enemy built up so fast.
It's the one OZ referred to as 01.
You said you wanted the Gundam to save yourselves.
What country are you from?
I can't tell you yet.
I will say that it's resisting Romefeller.
So it could be attacked any time.
The ruler of the nation is indispensable for the future.
And is capable of bringing true peace to this world.
Do you expect to win against Romefeller...
...with just the Gundams?
I'm confident in its pilot.
He'd defeat Romefeller's ambitions.
As acquaintances of the Gundam pilots...
...you and I tend to overdo things.
It's risky to depend on them too much.
But at the moment I want their help.
Nobody wants to get involved in wars.
But those who have the ability to fight should fight.
At least that's what I think.
I'm reluctant to use the word "righteous".
But the word suits those kids.
Calling them righteous might really be a sad thing.
Since it forces them to act like modern heroes.
I want to follow them.
If I do, it's unlikely that I'll take a wrong path.
Gundam Wing
Plans to wipe out the Gundams are progressing in two places.
One is here.
Could the other be the Gundam you left behind?
I think that might be.
They're calling it "01".
Heero, have you heard of the Sanc Kingdom?
It comes up in Romefeller's confidential data...
...as a problematic nation.
The Sanc Kingdom...
They're covering their tracks.
But they're very interested in finding 01.
And also its pilot.
Wouldn't you like to go?
I'm sure we could be of some help to them.
That's a good boy.
These two dogs are the only ones guarding us now.
They're telling us to leave.
This nation isn't looking for any battles.
But we're like time bombs and will bring trouble.
The commander here has a weak point, to boot.
It's his kindness.
Let's go, Quatre.
Sure thing.
Something's headed our way.
Any word from Count Townsend?
Nothing.
- Check at once. - Sir.
What?
They're heading straight for Romefeller's forces?!
Why wouldn't they be escaping?
We have an urgent message from those forces...
...demanding information on the approaching craft!
Count Townsend.
- This was left behind. - By the Gundam pilots?
Count, what is it?
Please inform them at once that we've escaped.
We can't cause you any more trouble than we already have.
That is...
Thank you, Count.
We'd be wiser just to run away.
But we always end up fighting.
Wherever I go it's the same.
Because fighting is all I can do!
I feel sorry for them.
Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
It's being raised.
Let's go!
Roger.
See ya later.
Enemy in sight!
Launching torpedoes!
What's this? An attack?!
This is nuts but it's the only way!
I knew it was crazy!
I want them, for the sake of the Sanc Kingdom!
Hands up!
No funny stuff!
Advise the other ships too.
I don't want to make things worse than they are.
Better do what my partner tells you.
Personally, I would have already opened fire.
Actually I just want you to leave us alone.
But I don't figure you can allow that.
Heero, where should we head to now?
There isn't any place I wanna go.
There are lots of kind people right here on the Earth.
But we'd be causing them a great deal of trouble...
...by doing nothing more than meeting them.
We have no place to go, do we?
Quatre...
It's because you're trying to forget the battle.
As long as Earth's a war zone, I'm gonna fight.
You have no choice but to fight either.
Because we're Gundam pilots.
The battlefield is the only place we're allowed to live.
For us, I guess the meaning of life is to survive battles.
Sally here.
The surface is under control.
How're things?
It's like meeting a long lost friend.
Use it to protect your country.
I can't thank you enough.
My name is Lucrezia Noin.
The country I'm serving is...
Noin, it's okay.
You don't have to tell me.
I trust you.
I'm just honored to help a nation...
... that's trying to oppose Romefeller.
Sally...
I'm gonna go and look for another Gundam.
If you hear about one I'd welcome your help.
It'd be great to have two or three pilots.
You can count on my help.
It'll be a chance to earn your trust.
I give you my word, in the name of God and our nation.
The guards for the Peace Nations Assembly are leaving.
So I rushed here for nothing.
And I was positive they'd take this opportunity...
...to invade the Sanc Kingdom, too.
Well, the mobile dolls just won't do the job.
Those dinky things don't have a chance against the knights...
...protecting their precious Princess.
Miss Relena.
Are you all right with that new student arriving today?
Why do you ask, Pagan?
I heard she was a blood relative of Duke Dermail...
...the central figure of the Romefeller Foundation.
I know I mustn't make assumptions.
But given that the Foundation...
...doesn't think highly of the Sanc Kingdom's pacifism...
...I can't help thinking it's a trick.
The Romefeller Foundation said they wish to learn more...
...about educational policies on building a peaceful nation.
That's why they wanted to send a student to our kingdom.
There's nothing to worry about.
I have problems believing everything the Foundation says.
Doubting people won't get you anywhere.
Besides there's nothing mistaken about what we're doing here.
I think this'd be a great chance to make them understand that.
I'm Relena Peacecraft, Director of this institution.
Welcome to the Sanc Kingdom.
I wasn't aware that the Princess of the Sanc Kingdom...
...was also the Director of the institution.
Once again, my name is Dorothy Catalonia.
It's an honor to meet you.
I'm still powerless to do anything on my own.
I'm learning Total Pacifism that my father advocated.
Just as everyone else is.
As you're aware...
...I've come here on behalf of the Romefeller Foundation.
The Foundation is surrounded with weapons...
...in this war-torn world.
I have a great interest in the policies of the Sanc Kingdom.
Especially in what you'd do...
...if the forces decided to invade.
This beautiful scenery would disappear in an instant.
And the hearts that cherish this beauty would also be lost.
Nobody in their right mind would want to hand over...
...the Kingdom to such foolish barbarians.
So what would you do then?
I don't believe there are any foolish people in this world.
People reach an understanding by talking things over.
I believe such discussions will bring peace...
...to all people.
Miss Relena.
I'm a foolish person myself.
I love wars.
I really do.
I guess I'd only be a nuisance by staying in this country.
Not at all.
The main objective of the Sanc Kingdom...
...is to provide a place for these discussions.
I welcome more talks like this, Miss Dorothy.
But please call me Dorothy, Miss Relena.
And you can just call me Relena.
I couldn't.
You are the heroine of our times.
I myself feel a great admiration for you.
Dorothy Catalonia.
She's the same age as Miss Relena.
I expected her to be brainwashed by Romefeller's oppressive ideas.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
But we must be cautious.
Keep an eye on her.
I even had this ready just in case.
But Dorothy seems tougher than I thought.
What do you mean?
Miss Dorothy truly gets enjoyment out of battles.
At this time, when Miss Relena is rejecting battles...
...I'm worried that Dorothy could exhaust Miss Relena.
Relena 's thoughts are commendable.
She knows that her actions are highly risky now.
Our mission is to protect her in operation.
Even if that means getting some weapons?
That's right.
We can't afford to let Relena get killed...
... like the assassinated King of this country.
We're confronted by a part of history...
... that could easily be repeated, but must not.
I'll protect Relena, even if it means using foul play.
I'll live my life in the shadows of this kingdom.
Hurry up and start a war!!
To be continued
Romefeller's military power grows...
...as they violently attack areas of dispute.
Heero recklessly participates in the battle...
...as a mercenary of the Treize Faction's retaliating troops.
Quatre begins doubting the heroism of finding answers...
...within battles.
He learns of a resisting nation promoting Total Pacifism.
