Second enemy ship, dead in the water!
Excellent! How is Commander Gato's recovery proceeding?
Just 80 more seconds!
All ships, come about! Full power barrage in 15 seconds!
Deploy the Dra-Cs to our front!
There's no winner of this fight as I collapse, now exhausted.
I look up to the stars above...
...and don't even have the strength to cry.
I don't need, don't need yesterday anymore.
I don't need dreams that have crumbled away.
I got a burning heart! I just wanna keep on running!
Just chasing the thrill that's shooting through my heart!
Feelings that you just can't describe with words...
...are enough to ignite even a frozen heart!
I got a burning love! Burning with shining blue fire.
Fire that'll spread until it covers all the stars in the sky.
I got a burning heart! Love is such a lonely battle.
But is it one that will consume the world in flames?
GUNDAM, TO THE SEA OF STARS
Don't be silly. Unit 1 hasn't been equipped for space-use yet.
Gee, they've sure gotten friendly over the past week.
Checking the balancer systems won't do any good, will they?
I want to get used to this quickly.
Besides, even without the new parts, this thing is fine.
I can't wait till we upgrade it to full vernian on Luna.
You're such a hothead.
The way it is now, Unit 1 's not even as good as a GM in space.
Not so rough!
Be more gentle with it, till the thrust gets up to normal. Like this.
You see?
The balance is off.
Isn't the level set a little too low?
- Don't play with that! - I did the calculations, too.
Lt. Monsha's still after Unit 1, you know.
Ah, your real motive.
Why not take Lt. Burning's GM out for some training with the others...
...Mr. Self-Confidence?
Forget it! Any spare time I have, I'll spend working on this!
Oh, poor Ensign Keith, all alone out there.
And your calculations are all wrong.
How do I find where he's hiding with all this debris around here?
What's with you?! You were wide open!
Didn't I say you gotta be checking 360 degrees around you in space?!
I am!
How?! You can't just know it in your head!
You gotta feel in your body! Your body!
If you just concentrate on the computers, you'll end up dead!
Not so rough, sir!
Lieutenant! Two unidentified ships coming from the Earth's shadow!
Unidentified my ass! Those are our ships!
What did you think they were? Elephants?!
I FF signal confirmed. It's the Yulin and the Nashville.
We waited this long and they just sent two ships?
Well, at least we have enough ships to search this shoal zone.
Looks like Admiral Kowen's the only one we can count on for help.
We'll be docking soon, Commander.
Those Feddies on our tail forced us to take the long way around.
Admiral Delaz must be impatient after all this waiting.
So, how is that Gundam, anyway?
Excellent. I have to admit it's great for a Feddie suit.
Fleet to stern, closing fast!
Observation! Where's your report?!
It's one of ours! The Cima Fleet!
The Cima Fleet?!
This is the Peer Gynt to fleet approaching to stern!
Break off from this flight path! We have priority!
Well, Mr. Nightmare of Solomon... Back from stealing the Gundam?
- Open a channel! - Go ahead.
To the Musai ahead of us: Terribly sorry!
We mistook you for colony wreckage.
However, it looks like it's too late to change course.
Evasive! Evasive, now!
All hands, brace for impact!
Commander Gato, reporting back, sir!
Well done. I heard the report. Excellent work.
Thank you, sir.
However, we had a rather rough reception on the way here.
Commander Cima Garahau's fleet, you mean?
You know about it already, sir?
How nice to meet you.
We ran into each other while on patrol.
Would you take that as a greeting from the new members here?
Of course, Commander.
What is it?
Yes, I see. Patch it through.
A Federation fleet. If they maintain their present course...
...they may discover our location here.
Three ships?! Admiral, I'll handle this.
No, I'll go. I still haven't given you a gift for my visit.
Very well. Prove to me how powerful the Cima Fleet is.
- But, sir...! - Yes, sir! At once!
Commander, I'm giving you some time off.
You can spend it polishing your Gundam.
Admiral! How could you accept that person...!
I apologize for taking Cima on while you were away.
But, had you been here, you would have objected.
Yes, because she has a black heart inside!
It's just... Even a soldier like her who always wins battles...
...cannot bring light to the universe.
I can guarantee that she will bring shame to the glory of Zeon!
As always, your words are as pure as a clear stream.
Gato, do you remember A Bao A Qu?
I can never forget. You saved my life, sir.
No, I didn't. You were reborn to resurrect Zeon then.
Your heart was charged with righteousness!
Yes, sir!
One who fights for what's right...
...shouldn't concern himself with trifles.
For Operation Stardust to be successful...
...we require not only the Gundam that you stole...
...but also for our fleet to be as strong as possible!
I'll guide Cima.
Admiral!
Gato, look at the big picture.
Admiral...
My doubts are cleared away.
I will stand by your side until death, sir.
Admiral, Cima's left with only one ship! What should we do?
Oh, Cima, whatever shall we do with you?
Is the laser channel ready?
All set, sir.
Very well. Gato, come with me!
Sir!
Nina, can you hear me?
What is it, Mora?
A little cold, don't you think?
Oh, is it?
I thought you were serious about him. I'm starting to feel sorry for...
Ow! Hot! Hot! Ow!
That's too hot, Nina!
But you said it was cold.
- I meant Ensign Uraki! - Kou?
Kou...? Oh, you mean Ensign Uraki.
He's redone those calculations four times today.
Five, actually.
Oh...
That poor kid. C'mon, give him the data.
No. If I did, he'd take off in Unit 1.
He's so reckless.
Besides, even if we installed that algorithm into Unit 1...
...it would still be less maneuverable than a GM.
Anyway, until we get to Anaheim on Luna...
...and replace the core fighter, it's useless.
Can I ask you something?
Since when are you so formal?
The Gundam or Ensign Uraki: Which one do you like more?
What?! Oh, for heaven's sake... The Gundam, of course!
Once it's fully equipped, it'll be even more incredible!
Even faster and more powerful.
Kou's a lost cause. Show him a hint of kindness...
...and he starts getting moon-eyed over you.
That's how guys his age act!
Oh? You seem to know a lot about this, Mora.
Yeah. Remember, Ensign Uraki's a rare item around here.
Most guys in this fleet come on like starving wolves.
You better watch out for... Ow! Ow! Ow!
Nina! Here!
Keith...
You haven't been very sociable lately.
Sorry.
He hasn't come yet, has he?
So what?
No carrots, please. Hey!
- Here he is! - Great...
- Nina! - Wait up, Kou!
Hi!
Nina, it's all figured except for the throttle correlation curve.
This is where I made the mistake before, right? Here!
I'm eating now.
Well... Here, you can have my carrots.
That's not what I meant!
Well, Nina, dear! So, here's where you are.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.
I've been busy training this idiot over here.
Sorry, sir.
Where're your friends?
The other two were ordered to stand by.
We're on combat alert.
I'm glad to hear you're so busy.
So, what can I do for such a busy man?
Unit 1 's gonna get its full-tuning on Luna, right?
I was thinking I could be the pilot then.
Now, look, Lieutenant...
SHUT UP!!! Beating me once doesn't prove a damned thing!
Exactly.
You gotta get data on it, right?
If you give it to some newbie pilot and he wrecks it...
...it'll be on your head, you know.
I'm not going to wreck it!
You have any real space battle experience, kid?
I was just checking out the data on Unit 1!
Big talk from a guy who doesn't even go out to train!
It's right, isn't it?
It might be safer to let the lieutenant be the pilot.
How 'bout a date when we get to Luna?
That's an entirely different story.
Nina, is that what you really think?!
Nina's lost faith in you!
- I wasn't asking you! - What was that, you bastard?!
Is it?!
I've had it up to here with your arrogance!
Anyone can see Lt. Monsha has more experience and skill than you have!
The Gundam isn't a toy!
It's not there for you to pilot when you feel like playing!
I don't believe this! Didn't you accept me as the Gundam's pilot?!
I wouldn't have if I'd known you were so pigheaded!
You're the one who's pigheaded!
Ensign Uraki!
Nina, how could you be so stupid?
Enemy ship sighted! All hands, battle stations!
Repeat, all hands, battle stations!
Hey, you! What's the holdup?! Move it!
Come on, come on, let's see you panic!
I'm impatient to send you to your eternal reward.
They're just entering our main guns' firing range.
Then let them have it! Gelgoog status?
- Launching now! - Excellent.
Haven't we launched our mobile suits yet?!
- Soon, sir. - One ship, Zanzibar-class!
Just one... It's a tough one!
Confirm 5 enemy mobile suits... Enemy ship has opened fire!
It's a threat!
These old Gelgoogs should be no trouble.
3 against 5.
Didn't you forget one?
Keith doesn't count.
Sorry, sir.
THAT was close! What's the big idea?!
Keith, hurry up and launch before you get picked off!
Captain! Emergency transmission from Jabrow!
Leave it till later!
No, wait, it's a signal breaking in on our channel! What the...?!
I address the Earth Federal Forces and warriors of the Duchy of Zeon!
We are the Delaz Fleet!
The Delaz Fleet?
The armistice signed to end the Zeon War of Independence...
... which has since come to be known as the One Year War...
... is nothing but a lie! That is obvious to anyone!
The reason being that it was signed by traitors...
... who appropriated the name of the Republic of Zeon!
We have never lost sight of the war's objective!
We will give you proof of this shortly!
Captain, the Gundam is requesting clearance to launch!
Ensign Uraki?
If he wants to go out, he can take my GM!
They could at least use the Gundam for rearline duty!
Keith, just stay calm. If they don't break through, we win.
- Yes, sir! - Here they come!
Day after day, their memory has never left me.
The memory of so many young men and women...
... lost to the flames of battle for Spacenoid independence!
Damn it! I can't shake this guy!
You can't escape.
And of the young people who fling themselves again into those flames!
What?! They can't break through?! Useless fools!
Prepare Ms. Cima's mobile suit!
Ensign Uraki, this unit's tuned for Lieutenant Burning...
...so the pedals may feel a little stiff.
Plus four, right?
The Gundam isn't a toy!
It's not there for you to pilot when you feel like playing!
- Ensign! - Huh? What?
Kou!
Don't try to stop me! The Gundam can handle this!
Take this!
Kou!
In response to the just Spacenoid desire for freedom...
... the Federation builds up its crushing military might!
All to pluck it out as it buds!
I know this is true because I've seen the prooF.
Aiguille Delaz! The ghost of Giren Zabi...!
Observe! The results of our battle!
This Gundam was developed for the purpose of nuclear attack!
This machine, a clear violation of the Antarctic Treaty...
...and developed in secret, is clear evidence...
...of the accursed Federation's evil intentions!
Would you just cut it out and die already?!
Reinforcements?!
Panic fire won't work!
Damn! It's headed for Keith!
Get away! Get away!
Two more...
Three enemy mobile suits have broken through!
- Isn't Uraki ready yet?! - He's just... What?!
Uraki! What are you doing?!
Please let me go! I'll go even if you try and stop me!
Uraki! Above you!
Decisions, decisions...
Forget the catapult.
What's wrong? Your balancer screwed up?
It's as clumsy as a baby... What?!
I got it?!
Idiot! Those suits are priceless!
How could he be so careless...?
What?! That got him?
Where's Kou?
Look back! What gave rise to the Zeon War of Independence?!
Why did we become followers of Zeon Zum Daikun?!
If I'd just stopped him before...
Damn that thing's armor!
You stubborn...!
Captain Cima, it's time to pull back.
It won't die!
Don't die on me, Uraki!
He got it?! Now I'm mad! But I'll let it go today.
Hm... You know when to pull out.
Two Salamis-class, destroyed. Gundam, heavily damaged...
What's wrong?! Running in the middle of a fight?!
Don't follow them, Monsha! We've been recalled, too.
You okay, Keith?
Yeah...
For 3 years we've waited!
Enemy mobile suits, withdrawing! No one in our force will turn away from their duty any longer!
Aiguille Delaz! What are you REALL Yafter?!
Lay your cards on the table!
Uraki! Ensign Uraki! Do you read me?! Respond!
Nina, forgive me... For what I've done to Unit 1...
Uraki, you can't land it! Forget the suit and eject!
Have to bring it back... Have to update the data...
Idiot! You had to take it out in that condition!
You went without even taking the disc!
Why...? Why did I ever give the Gundam to you...?!
KOU!!!
What?! The Gundam's landing?! In that condition?!
Yeah! We have 2 minutes.
What are you standing there for?! The nets! Set up the nets!
Uraki, you're drifting right. Correct course.
Are you going to land or not?
Roger...
Just like Nina said... Gotta center the balancer...
Have to get it back to the Albion...
You're coming in too fast! Correct downwards a bit!
Here he comes! Everyone, get back!
Nina!
KOU!!!
Get back! I'm blowing the hatch!
Nina!
Kou! Kou!
Forgive me! I should have realized this would happen!
Kou, thank God you're alive!
Thank God...
Now, with the blood of the young burning within us...
... I declare war upon the Earth Federation government one last time!
We shall ignore the whispers of a false peace!
We shall fight for what echoes in our hearts...
... and for the glory of the homeland we have lost!
Sieg Zeon!
