Finished attaching GN Drive. Finished attaching GN Drive.
Confirmed attachment of GN Drive.
No errors detected in the entirety of 00.
Both solar furnaces operating normally.
Great. Commence matching tests.
It's your turn, Tieria.
Affirmative.
GN Drives, releasing Repause.
Topological defect transitioning from ground state to high state.
Twin drive alignment ratio...
35%, 37%,
40%, 47%,
49%, 55%,
58%.
Alignment ratio has exceeded 60%.
If the alignment ratio exceeds 80%, it'll be within stable operation levels.
Looks good.
Instabilities have appeared in the topological defect!
What?!
Alignment ratio falling.
The fusion ratio is dropping too!
With this,
we've tried all available combinations.
Why?!
Why won't it stabilize?!
What is it that we're lacking?
All that's left to try now is Exia's solar furnace.
We've got to do something before the A-LAWS make their move.
Our last hope...
Exia's GN Drive.

Our love broke our bond with the reason that "It's just too much,"

before it turned into hatred.

Everything is just like that.

It's the reality of the powerful.

Without noticing, even the two who have pledged are being separated far away.

without fearing and believing, you will learn what true love is.
Twin Drive
Who the hell are you?
Calling people out of nowhere and then going on about Celestial Be—
Neil Dylandy...
was a Gundam Meister.
My brother was...
a Gundam Meister?
That's right.
He piloted a Gundam.
"Piloted"?
Wait, are you telling me my brother is dead?
He died during the battle four years ago.
Are you telling me to carry out my brother's will?
I won't put it that way.
But if you wish to change the world just like Neil Dylandy did,
and you are prepared to fight for that cause...
There's information about us inside this.
You sure about this? If I hand this over to the Security Bureau...
The Security Bureau is about to begin suppression operations against Kataron hideouts throughout Europe.
What?!
They're dead serious about this.
Earth Federation Military Headquarters
I'm Colonel Kati Mannequin.
I've arrived to take up my new post.
Thank you for coming, Colonel.
Sir.
As you may already know,
the Autonomous Peacekeeping Force A-LAWS is a unit under the direct control of the Federal Government,
established to purge all anti-Federation forces.
We target and attack countries that have chosen not to join the Federation and continue to maintain their military forces,
the self-styled Anti-Government Organization Kataron, and now
we've added another target to our list.
The Gundams, right?
If they commence armed interventions again,
our unit must be there to stop them.
Public opinion of our operations is favourable.
And above all,
I greatly value your abilities as one who has experience in fighting the Gundams.
I expect to see the full extent of your abilities here at A-LAWS.
Sir.
The Autonomous Peacekeeping Force A-LAWS...
the Federation's faithful guard dogs.
May I sit next to you, Colonel?
First Lieutenant Peries.
You've joined A-LAWS too?
Yes. They summoned me, so I transferred here yesterday.
I'm surprised Colonel Smirnov allowed you to...
Orders from the top are absolute.
And you are?
Andrei Smirnov.
My rank is Second Lieutenant.
Smirnov?
Are you possibly Colonel Smirnov's?
Yes. I'm his son.
They summoned a military commander from the AEU,
and even a super-soldier from the HRL...
As expected of Commander Katagiri, he acts fast.
Alright, while we head back to the base, we'll do matching tests on Exia's solar furnace.
The coupling ratios of Exia and 0 Gundam's solar furnaces were high during simulations.
We won't know until we try it out in practice.
Along with the Trans-Am,
Aeolia Schenberg sent us the theory for a new main engine.
We don't know whether it's an empty theory, or whether he foresaw the level science would be at 200 years later.
Squaring the particle output by synchronizing two solar furnaces.
This is 00's Twin Drive System.
I brought you something to eat.
I'll leave it here, so please have it.
I'll leave Red Haro behind too.
Pleased to meet you! Pleased to meet you!
If you need something from us, please tell Red Haro.
You can browse our database too.
How long do you intend to keep me here like this?
A-LAWS is after you.
I'm not with Kataron!
If only they thought so too.
Are you intending to start armed interventions again?
Nah, we're gonna destroy A-LAWS.
You're going to fight the Federation military?
They're an independent unit under the direct control of the Government.
They've already carried out 14 mass-murder operations in the name of suppression.
Tens of thousands of lives have been lost. This information is being hidden from the public.
Even you've had a taste of how they do things.
So what?!
Wasn't the Federation formed because of your armed interventions?!
That's why we're going to take responsibility for it.
If you continue to fight, more innocent people will be hurt!
Even if we don't fight, people will die.
Aeon,
the tests are about to start.
All right.
What's—
What's Setsuna doing?
He went to pick someone up.
One of our friends.
Hey now, cut it out already.
Even under the circumstances, you're drinking too much.
Oh boy, there's no end to taking care of you.
I'm leaving.
See you, Billy.
Thanks for the two years.
Farewell.
W-Wait, Kujoh.
I didn't mean it that way...
A guest?
A friend of yours?
Who'd have thought there was actually someone you'd tell about this place.
Good timing. I'll ask him to have dinner with us.
Talking about the old days works wonders from time to time.
Wait!
S-Setsuna?
It's been four years,
Sumeragi Lee Noriega.
What are you saying?
Her name is—
Her code name is Sumeragi Lee Noriega.
She's Celestial Being's tactician.
Now you have no place to hide.
So the Security Bureau really did perform that raid...
And, any casualties?
I see, understood.
I'll call you again.
This is Gene-1.
Requesting an emergency call.
I need to talk in person about an important matter.
Exia and 0 Gundam's matching has shot up to the highest synchronization ratio up till now,
but it won't go over 70%.
We need another 10% to reach stable levels.
If we force-boot it with Trans-Am...
Don't be silly!
If we do that, it'll overload, and in the worst case it would self-destruct.
Then please re-examine the system.
Yeah, I'll do it.
The attack on civilians in Spain was concluded to have been conducted by Gundam Thrones.
Reason for the attack, unknown.
Gundam Thrones?
The Thrones aren't included in the plan.
Furthermore, Thrones utilize pseudo-GN Drives.
The particles emitted by their weapons
could have effects on the human body.
Effects on the human body?!
What's the meaning of this?!
Your left hand can't be regenerated?!
They say there might be something that blocks cell growth in the beam weapons of Gundams.
Gundam Throne...
This machine did that to Louise...
They're the enemy! They're the enemy!
What do you mean?
What do you hope to accomplish by bringing me back here?
Even with the Federal Government, nothing has changed in this world.
Not a single thing has changed even after so many sacrifices were made...
Aeolia's plan was meaningless.
Is that why you drowned yourself in alcohol?
Is something wrong with that?
I don't want this anymore.
I can't do this.
I... We'll fight.
If we sinned by urging the world to change,
then we can only redeem ourselves by changing the world once more.
It's impossible for me.
Are you running away?
Isn't it okay to run away?
I'm not as strong as you are.
The express flight departing from the Geostationary Orbit Station to Ground Union...
Hey Setsuna, you should leave me...
A new Meister is coming.
A new Meister?
Hey, you're late.
Lockon?
That's...
You're alive?
Do we really look that similar?
My brother and I.
Your brother.
Let me introduce him.
He's Lyle Dylandy—
No,
my name is Lockon Stratos.
Celestial Being's Gundam Meister.
Klaus, Gene-1 has made contact with Celestial Being.
Kataron Middle East Branch Underground Facility
I wonder if he will cooperate with us like we expected...
It's cruel how the Federation uses its control of rights to the Sunlight System's power output
to strongarm member nations and shut out non-members.
And not only is the Federation pushing for unification,
they have established their own Autonomous Peacekeeping Force to suppress any opposing forces.
At this rate, it'll lead to Federation dictatorship.
They must be aware of this.
I hope so...
To think that the Gundams would come back once again...
Maybe Setsuna...
Marina Ismail, correct?
You're under arrest.
Milady,
why did you leak the information on Celestial Being to them?
For what purpose did we make preparations over these past four years?
If they can't overcome a crisis like that, then it's all pointless.
Milady,
to me, it seems like you seek conflict rather than the reformation of the world.
Yes,
at the end of the wars lies the reformation of the world.
Contact them.
Certainly, Milady.
What are you doing, Ribbons?
Oh, that's good news.
As expected of Celestial Being's former agent.
Are we going to convey this to Homer Katagiri?
Yes, that sounds good.
You've located the spaceship where the Gundams are stationed?
The information is from the command HQ.
It must be authentic.
As expected from Commander Katagiri.
He doesn't slip up.
Deploy all mobile suits!
We're executing a surprise attack on the Gundam's spaceship.
First and second Ahead platoons, prepare to sortie.
Captain, please give me permission to sortie.
That's not my decision to make!
You're to be on standby, Warrant Officer Halevy.
The chassis preparations are complete.
Good job.
Ahead activating.
All units, hurry up with the preparations for take off!
That damned Celestial Being...
Ahead, launching!
An encrypted emergency transmission from Ptolemaios?
It's from Wang Liu Mei.
The A-LAWS found out our whereabouts.
I'll go out in Seravee.
Feldt, you work with Ian on the matching.
Roger that.
Enemy closing in! Enemy closing in!
Prepare for battle, prepare for battle!
Enemy closing in! Enemy closing in!
No way... We're going to fight?
Prepare for battle, prepare for battle!
Hatch opened on deck 2.
Carrying Seravee to the catapult deck.
Linear Catapult Voltage increasing from 230 to 520.
Adjusting unit to the field.
Transmitting launch times to Seravee.
Roger that.
Seravee, Tieria Erde launching!
An enemy formation.
Mobile suits from A-LAWS, huh?
Setsuna, how's our fighting capability?
Just Tieria's unit.
But we have a new model to be rolled out soon.
Only two units...
It seems like a pretty lonesome organization.
Aeon, we have an encrypted emergency transmission from Noriega.
Noriega?!
From Sumeragi?
It's a strategic plan.
0032 until commencement.
That's insane...
Setsuna really did bring her here.
We have a visual of the enemy.
Also detecting one mobile suit.
The Gundam and transport ship that killed First Lieutenant Araga, huh?
Platoon 2, engage the transport ship!
The rest, deal with the Gundam!
Captain!
The transport ship!
M-Mines, huh?
Something like this won't—
They're interfering with our sensors?!
Are they trying to buy time?
Adjust your course!
We're going around!
Go through Route ST27.
Roger that.
I see, so that's how it is.
Seravee, intercepting target.
Charging High-Density Compressed Particles.
GN Bazooka, releasing compressed particles.
Platoon 2, engage the spaceship!
I'll lure the Gundam out!
Aeon.
I'm going out in 00.
H-Hold it, Setsuna.
We haven't...
There's no time.
Take care of the controls.
Wh-What did you just say?
Making preparations for small vessel docking and commencing 00's launch sequence.
Hatch opened on deck 1.
That's Celestial Being's...?
Conveying 00 to the catapult deck.
Seriously, what the hell?
00.
0 Gundam mounted with Exia's solar furnace.
My Gundam.
Is the Twin Drive System operational?
Setsuna, 00 still isn't...
I'll use Trans-Am.
That's madness!
Setsuna, don't!
Trans-Am, activate!
It's not working.
Particle fusion ratio is stuck at 73%.
It's not working even with Trans-Am?
Two enemy mobile suits are approaching at a high speed!
Where's 00?!
Awaken, 00.
This is 0 Gundam, Exia...
...and I!
I-It activated!
Was there a time lag in the squaring?
The Twin Drives have reached stable levels.
D-Did he do it?
What's that light?
What kind of system is that?
00 Gundam, Setsuna F. Seiei launching!
A new model!
I'll engage it with Ahead!
00, eliminating target!
Wh-What?!
What is this power?!
How about this?!
Now your beam weapons are useless.
And I have the advantage in close combat!
This is our...
...Gundam!
Setsuna...
That's... the power of a Gundam?
Setsuna...
The enemy mobile suits are retreating!
Gundam...
Ribbons, what was that GN Drive?
You don't know?
You, who can access up to Level 7...
Aeolia Schenberg...

Sumeragi, welcome back!
Long time no see, Noriega!
That was one crazy tactic, as always.
I-I just...
Lockon!
Lockon, you're alive! Lockon, you're alive!
What a warm welcome.
What's the meaning of this?
It's his little brother.
Lockon... Stratos.
No...
That man isn't him.
00 activated.
Marie...
