Enemy firing missiles.
Don't get hit.
We'll intercept.
Smoke?
Was it just a smoke screen? Or is it...
Ahab Wave reaction increasing.
We'll crash.
Let's go.
The rest is up to you guys.
How daring. But we won't let you escape so easily.
Listen up, you guys. Make sure you follow along.
You've got guts, but you're still immature kids.
What happened?
Explosion in the cargo block.
What? Intruders in the ship?
I got it.
The map of the ship.
Well done, Dante.
Can I leave the rest to you?
Yeah, count on me for electronic warfare.
Okay, we'll capture the bridge in one go.
There!
- Shino. - Okay.
What?
- Ouch. - Gas?
Don't shoot, it'll ignite.
What?
Alarms?
Combustible gas is spreading within the ship.
What?
Can't you close the bulkheads to trap the kids with the gas?
I can't.
Huh?
They've infiltrated our main frame.
Our operations are being blocked.
Oh no, even the monitors.
You don't know their numbers or location?
I'll put up the footage from right before.
4 of them...
O... Orga...
- Combustible gas detected. - Huh? What?
- Work, Air Cleaners. - What now?
Except for security personnel, stay at your stattion.
Looks like Dante is doing a good job.
But there's only women coming out.
I don't care, let's go.
Well, it's an old method, but they're doing it well.
Hey, how are those kids infiltrating our system?
How would I know that?
What? They were your kids before.
You think I remember what tricks I taught those rats?
In any case, just kill them already.
They're picking a fight with you, Mr. Naze.
Won't the reputation of Teiwaz be ruined?
You have to hurry.
They're coming here.
Just kill them, please.
Please. Just kill them.
Hasn't the resistance weakened down?
It's good, it makes it easier.
Let's hurry to the bridge.
Are you listening, Mr. Naze?
Hey.
So you've arrived.
What?
Orga.
I don't really know what's going on.
But do you understand that...
...we're not ordinary kids?
It sure does seem that you're not just ordinary kids.
Wait, what are you saying, Mr. Naze?
If you let them off like this...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh yeah, I have another bit of business here.
Wait, leaving you behind was...
oh, it was a tactic.
If we all got killed then, it would've been pointless.
Who took care of you all this time?
Who do you think gave you work and fed you all this time?
Of course you, Maruba Arkay.
That's why we kept obeying your orders.
That's right, so...
And following your orders...
I did have... those guys...
Wait a minute, stop...
Don't do it.
No need to dirty your hands with that jerk's blood.
I've seen what you're prepared to do.
I'll think about our deal.
- Yes! - We did it!
He's not so stubborn.
Connect me with Amida. The party's over.
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Dream on as we wander
Under pressure you are waiting for direction
Going on the road without your mind
All misleads they give ignoring our decisions
Killing yourself your soul we have inside
Continue the struggle and feel like you're discouraged
Rise up again to run to the end
In between the never-ending dream
We can struggle and muzzle the world before it fades away
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Believing that we will reach that goal
Come on and raise your flag So just raise your flag
No matter how many times we feel defeated or lost
As long as we breathe As long as we carry on
Dream on as we wander
Good job. How was it?
It's not a fun thing...
fighting children.
But those boys are full of promise.
You're right.
- Good job. - I'm fine.
Are you okay, Mikazuki?
Yeah.
Sorry I made you strain yourself on a machine that wasn't fully tuned-up.
It's not your fault.
And so, what happened in the end?
Orga took the Young Miss and Biscuit to go and discuss a deal.
I see.
Maruba will be thrown into our resource mining satellite.
We'll have him work to pay back the costs for this.
That's your business now.
We'll leave that up to you.
Please excuse me.
By the way, I've only seen women on this ship.
Of course. This is my harem.
- Huh? - What?
Crewmembers on this ship are all my women.
All of them?
They're your wives?
I guess that's what it means.
And then there are about 5 children.
5?
And those children are...
Of course they're all my children.
From different mothers, though.
Stop talking about stupid things. We have work to do.
Oh, that's right.
I've seen your strength.
So, what is it that you want?
Well, we...
We want to escort Miss Kudelia Aina Bernstein here to Earth.
To do that, we need a guide who can secure a safe route.
We'd like to hire you to guide us.
And one more thing.
Can you make us, Tekkadan, a subsidiary of Teiwaz?
We're targeted by Gjallarhorn.
With Teiwaz as your backing support, you can fight back.
Yes.
I guess it's fine.
I'll talk with the Old Man.
Thank you very much.
It's not yet decided that you can get in.
I'm only making the introductions so you can negotiate with him.
The rest is up to you guys.
I understand.
Negotiate with your father?
What? No, that's not it.
You mean Mr. McMurdo Barriston, the boss of Teiwaz.
By the way, didn't you want to check something about Miss Kudelia?
Something about her being property.
How much can I say...
What do you guys think about Gjallarhorn?
Gjallarhorn?
Well, they're military, right?
But I don't know much...
They ended the Calamity War 300 years ago.
After that, using their immense military power to prevent further war,
they've kept an independent eye on the 4 economic blocs.
That is Gjallarhorn.
Now each of the economic blocs feel they're a burden.
Because the current Gjallarhorn are pursuing their own interests.
And at such a time, this young miss showed up.
Kudelia from the Noachis July Assembly.
The heroine of the times who led the Mars independence movement.
One regional independence activist
goes around Gjallarhorn and will meet with an economic bloc leader of Earth.
If that happens, it's a serious matter.
Something that could shake up the governing system of Gjallarhorn.
I don't really get it, but she's really important?
How is that related to property?
Ask the Old Man for more info.
Well, she's not a figure that someone like me can handle.
This young miss.
I'm so glad everyone is safe.
It's thanks to Akihiro. You're really a good pilot.
I got wrecked, though.
I got it even worse.
Mikazuki, how about seconds?
No thanks.
You've only eaten half of the usual.
Hey, Mr. Mikazuki.
Mr. Orga and the others returned. They're in the bridge.
I'm gonna help the old man in the hangar.
Tell them I'll leave it to them.
What? But...
And so...
We will be negotiating with the Teiwaz boss, Mr. McMurdo Barriston.
Really?
Clam down.
It's not decided yet we'll be a subsidiary of Teiwaz.
From now, we'll head to Saisei with the Turbines.
Saisei?
It's a big ship where Teiwaz base themselves.
They say it's nearby now.
I see.
Boss.
We're connected with Mars.
Okay, tell them our situation...
Before that, looks like they've sent a message.
What?
I can't believe the Mars funds are almost used up.
I thought it'd last a bit longer.
They can't do decent business with Gjallarhorn keeping an eye on them.
We have to do something.
Oh, ma'am.
What?
Have the talks finished?
Yes, we'll be taking those kids with us back to Saisei.
Was the kid in the white one here too?
I don't think the pilots came.
Does it bother you?
I rarely get someone who gets me heated up that much.
Of course, not as much as my darling.
Whatever.
But looked like they really are interesting children.
They would've had it easier if they accepted Naze's proposition.
Hey, I told you to be careful there.
- Yes. - Old man.
How's it going?
That one has spare parts so we can do something about it, but...
The problem is...
Mika.
Orga.
I heard it went well.
Yeah, somehow.
You did well too, Mika.
I wasn't of much help this time. I'm sorry.
What are you saying? You did plenty.
No, that wasn't good enough.
I have to try much, much harder.
You're right.
I have to try harder too.
"THE FORM OF CLOSENESS"
Hey, aren't we at this Saisei thing yet?
It's been 10 days already.
I heard we're almost there.
Hey, we haven't seen Mr. Mikazuki recently.
Apparently he's on their ship training with Mr. Akihiro using a simulator.
What? Training?
That's amazing.
Those two are that strong, but they still try harder.
On the other hand...
There are so many girls, but none will come my way.
Who cares?
They're all Mr. Naze's wives, right? Of course they wouldn't.
I said I don't care.
Girls!
Property...
Me? What does that mean?
- Why does Teiwaz.. - Miss Kudelia.
Miss Atra.
How about we go to the other ship later?
What? The other ship?
To the Turbines?
And so, what is it that you want to talk about?
What's this?
A list of things we seized from Gjallarhorn on Mars.
There's quite a lot.
Yes.
We want you to introduce to us a trader we could sell those to.
Are there any traders you're close with?
There are some merchants we've known since the CGS days,
but they're unusual items, so an average trader couldn't handle them.
I guess you're right.
Of course, we'll pay you a commission.
Is this possible?
It's certainly possible.
But are you that short on money?
Well...
To be honest, we're in trouble.
Then why did you reject my offer when I said I'd introduce work to you?
What?
Well, I mean, you said we'd be separated if we accepted that offer.
And you can't?
We can't leave each other.
You can't leave?
That's creepy. A bunch of guys all over each other.
Say anything you want.
We... Tekkadan can't leave each other.
So I'm asking why.
It's because...
Orga.
Huh?
We're connected.
What?
The blood our dead comrades spilled,
and the blood we'll be spilling have mixed and hardened like iron.
So...
We can't leave each other.
We're not allowed to.
Even if it's dangerous or painful.
You said it when you pointed your gun at Maruba.
What?
"And following your orders... I did have... those guys..."
Are "those guys" your comrades who died?
That's fine if you can't leave.
But if you're going to protect Tekkadan from now on,
no one is going to give you directions.
The kids could die with one order of yours.
You can't push that responsibility on anyone.
Orga.
Can you as the boss carry all that responsibility by yourself?
So all the children here are Mr. Naze's?
Yes, but the mothers are different.
Isn't our darling energetic?
It's only the young ones here.
Are there others?
The older ones are at the school on the surface.
You must be lonely without your big brothers.
This is our family.
You smell nice.
Family...
I'm glad.
What?
Because you've always had a serious look on your face recently.
Miss Atra.
They're so cute.
Yes.
I feel I'm prepared.
I see.
I don't want anyone who's not one of us giving stupid orders,
and having our comrades die in vain.
Their place to die...
I'll make it as the Tekkadan Boss.
Orga.
And that's the same place I'll die.
If it's for them, I can die any time...
Orga!
What's the point if you die?
If the leader dies, then Tekkadan really will be broken up.
And yet...
Blood mixing and connecting, huh?
That's not what you call "comrades".
That's "family".
Well, I get what you want.
What? Umm...
I can do something about that.
Please, sir.
I messed up.
Really? But he said he'd consider it.
That's not the problem.
You have to be on even terms when talking business.
He treated me like a kid.
What?
It'll be fine.
Whatever happens, we'll believe and follow you, Orga.
Yeah.
Yay, I won.
Not yet.
Stop it.
You can't win when you're excited.
I'll play with you again.
Let me go next.
But in any case, you two really are working hard every day.
That's the only thing I can do.
There's no Alaya-Vijnana on the simulator,
so I'll take real good care of you.
What did that Orga kid want to talk about?
It was such childish talk that made my butt itch.
You weren't much better in the past.
If you want, we can talk about the old days in bed all night.
Give me a break.
Confirming Saisei dead ahead.
So that's Saisei.
I see.
Training today too?
I hear you're getting it rough on their ship.
I have to try hard so that I won't get ditched by you, Orga.
You idiot.
It's not about getting ditched or not.
When it comes to family.
Well...
I'm relying on you, Mika.
Yeah.
Orphans, tears.
Because love carries sadness
and makes you stronger
You're on my mind.
Can you hear it?
The blues that space sings
Ah... In the blue light
glowing in the darkness,
hide your loneliness
What do the strong
see in pieces of dreams?
Orphans, to space
We will set sail on the ship called hope
You're on my mind
This fleeting moment The blues that space sings
What? Family? Did our boss say that about us?
So that makes Mr. Mikazuki my older brother.
Wow, I have such an awesome, strong, and cool brother like that?
What should I do?
I'll do my best.
I'll try 3 times harder than I have been.
Next on "MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS."
