Mobile Suit Gundam 0083
What?! Commandant Giren has been killed in action?!
Yes, sir! Lady Kycilia now has command of all of A Baoa Qu!
You planned this all along, didn't you, Kycilia!
You Feddie cannon fodder!
Recall all ships and mobile suits!
Our fleet is retreating from this sector!
Lieutenant, stop! They've issued orders to retreat!
Gato, wait!
Your ship, the carrier Doroa, has been destroyed!
The Doroa?!
And our Commander-in-Chief, Giren, has also been lost.
We're retreating from A Baoa Qu.
We must live on to carry on the will of our leader!
You mean live on in shame?! I'm going out!
No!
For now, you must endure. Until the day we can regain our glory...
...you must put your life in my hands! Is that clear?
It was the greatest battle of the One Year War.
After the Battle of A Baoa Qu, an armistice was signed between...
...the Earth Federation government and the Republic of Zeon.
But the seeds of another battle had already been sown.
GUNDAMJACK
This god damned Zaku! It maneuvers like a pig!
There's no way it can compare to that powered up GM!
Kou! Keith! Formation 3! Let's hit him all at once!
- Roger! - Roger!
All right!
Have you been studying your piloting like you should, Ensign Keith?
I've gotcha!
Shit! That thing's thrust is incredible!
That backpack's too heavy for a GM.
I bet it'd look a lot better on a Zaku.
Keith! Stay on the GM's tail!
Drive him toward the ruins ahead! I'll head him off there!
Huh? Like I can actually keep up with that thing?
It... It's too fast!
Oh, this is NOT happening!
Lt. Burning, Keith's unit is trapped in the rubble and can't move.
He's going to need a pickup.
Mm. Keith, just sit tight.
We'll send someone to get you out later.
Roger...
Lt. Burning, we don't have all the data on the GM's jet pack yet.
They still haven't pushed it to its maximum thrust rating.
Right. Lt. Allen, this is Burning.
Continue maneuvers with the jet pack at full thrust.
Roger!
Mr. Paserov. All quiet?
Excuse me for coming up here without permission, Capt. Synapse.
It's no bother, Miss Purpleton.
But there's been nothing but ocean since we left Jaburo.
Aren't you bored?
Not at all. It may be the same ocean, but...
...the waves' movement and color changes from place to place.
Oh, of course. This is your first time down here on Earth, isn't it?
Yes.
We'll be over Australia soon, won't we?
We already are.
We're already crossing over Sydney.
The sea we're over now is where the city used to be.
The scar of the Zeons' Operation British.
This... This is where the colony fell?!
A crater 500 kilometers wide.
The largest man-made hole in history...
...created by an explosive force equal to 60,000 megatons.
They may call it the cost of war, but it's too high a price to pay.
Commander Gato, it's here. The Pegasus-class ship.
Right on schedule. The captain's quite punctual for a Feddie.
- Looks that way. - Contact the Jukon!
Yes, sir!
This is Walfisch. Pegasus-class sighted.
Now commencing Operation Stardust.
92...
93...
94...
95...
96...
What's that?
Is something scheduled to come in today?
Hm, looks like Jaburo's got a lot of money to play with.
Wish they'd send a little of it our way.
Is that? Is that a Pegasus-class, Lieutenant?
If that's an improved version of White Base...
Do you think they have any Gundam-type suits on board?!
All right! When do we get to see them, Lieutenant?!
Whoa, now hold on. You'll get all the details.
Just wait till the briefing tomorrow morning.
Good work today. Dismissed.
Keith! You gonna lie there all day?!
Y... Yes, sir...
Keith, it's landing.
It's incredible!
Yeah, incredible!
All right, that settles it!
Hey, Kou! Not so fast! Kou!
You know, I love how hanging around with you...
...gets me into the most wonderful accidents.
Of course.
So, where are we going, my dear Kou?
To pay them a visit.
You don't mean?!
You bet I mean it.
Honestly, I'll never be bored hanging around with you.
Reporting, sir. Capt. Synapse and the 211 crew members of...
...the assault carrier Albion are here on schedule...
...with the two new prototype mobile suits.
Well done, Captain.
General Marnery, I know this is a bit sudden...
...but I'd like to open the nuclear weapon storage bunker.
Here's the authorization from Jaburo...
...and the test schedule we'll be starting tomorrow.
Hm... I'll leave it to you to choose a test pilot.
The files are all ready.
Do a good job.
I'll do my best, sir.
So, it IS a Gundam...
Whoa! Kou! Hey, Kou!
- What? - Look!
TWO Gundams!
Keith, check this out! This one's got a core fighter!
I'm not blind, you know.
That's one's great, too! That heavy armor!
It's something else!
Yeah, she's something else, all right.
Are you from the base?
And you? Anaheim Electronics, right?
Y- Yes...
We... Uh, I mean I'm Ensign Chuck Keith, a test pilot here.
Oh, you're a test pilot.
I'm Nina Purpleton, systems engineer. It's a pleasure.
Believe me, the pleasure's all mine.
Oh, that's my pal, Ensign Kou Uraki.
Kou, this is Nina. Kou!
Yeah? What?
This is Nina. She's a systems engineer with Anaheim.
Oh. Hi.
He's shy, especially around beautiful women.
Just beautiful women?
The Gundam's being serviced right now.
If you want to see it, you'll be contacted tomorrow.
Then you can contact me.
Huh?
- When do you get off work today? - What?
Well, we have to set a time for our date, don't we?
Wanna grab a beer?
Nina!
What, Orville?
Everything checks out OK.
If you don't need me, I'd like to take a walk.
Sure thing. Good work.
Take a walk? But there's nothing around here.
Perhaps, but everything here on Earth...
...is new to people like us who were born in space.
Oh, yes. Sunsets! I guess he went to see one of those.
It should be time for it, right?
I can take you to the best place to watch a sunset.
No, thanks. I'm not that desperate to see it.
Not now, Kou.
I said not now.
Dammit, Kou, you...
Nobody likes a guy who comes on too strong, kid.
Duh... Duh...
A date? Be glad to!
Especially since you don't seem to want to let go of my fingers.
We can do the sunset or grab a beer.
Should be about an hour from here.
Blau Engel to Walfisch. Blau Engel to Walfisch.
This is Walfisch.
Blau Engel is ready. Everything is on schedule.
Walfisch, roger.
This is the first time we've opened it...
...since the Antarctic Treaty was signed.
If I could, I'd make sure that door stayed closed forever.
I don't want you being careless, Lt. Bob.
It may be a backwater base...
...but test pilots can be among the most skilled.
Leave it to us, sir.
You're the linchpin here, Commander. Be careful.
Your name's Orville, right?
Could you only find a lieutenant's uniform for me?
Sorry, Commander.
Well, it doesn't change who I really am.
I expect only the best from you.
That backpack we mounted on the GM has incredible output!
And the shock absorbers on the legs...
...let it handle long falls without any problems.
If it's that good on a GM, I can't wait to try it on the new suits.
What do you mean YOU can't wait to try it on the new suits?!
Allen, I told you the pilot of the new unit hasn't been chosen yet.
C'mon, Lieutenant, you and I are the ace pilots here...
...so I figured it was a no-brainer.
I wanna try one, too! Day after day...
...all I get to drive is that stupid Zaku!
Oh, but the Zaku's a fine machine, too.
And who the hell are you?!
Pardon me. I'm a systems engineer with Anaheim. Nina Purpleton.
Oh, with Anaheim, huh? Pardon my man's rudeness.
I'm Lt. Burning, the chief test pilot instructor here.
Karcs!
- 'Scuse me, ma'am! - Forget it.
Lieutenant, this is Lieutenant j.g. Mora Boscht.
She came here from Jaburo to oversee the maintenance team.
Hope you won't be too hard on me, Lieutenant, sir!
Um, do you boys mind if we joined you?
By all means.
Looks like you've really upped the power on that new equipment.
You've already tested the new backpack?
We mounted it on a souped-up GM today.
It increased the power incredibly.
By the way, we've heard you'll be choosing...
...test pilots from this base for those new suits.
May I ask what kind of pilots you'd be looking for?
Well, my company would like a pilot...
...who can push the new suits to the limits of their abilities, so...
Mora, we'd better get back.
It's time already?
Gentlemen, if you'll excuse us.
Excuse us, guys.
What were you about to say?!
Hm? Oh, nothing.
I'd just be worried that someone who's just trained on old suits...
...wouldn't be able to tap the potential of the prototypes.
Down, boy.
No carrots, please.
You think so?
Um, do you have a second?
If you want to see it, you can wait till tomorrow.
The Gundam's reaction time has been upped by 0.5 seconds...
...and its output increased by 30%.
Although we didn't see even two-thirds of that on the GM...
Tell me, that heavily armored one is an anti-nuke unit...
...and that shoulder bazooka can mount a tactical nuke, can't it?
I thought so! Just wanted to make sure.
You're a pilot, too? That was a pretty sharp observation.
But how sharp is his piloting?
Halt!
Sorry I'm so late! Orville, from Anaheim Electronics!
Right. So, how was the sunset?
It was outstanding.
Sunrises are nice, too.
Then I'd better get to bed early tonight.
Commander, it's safe now.
Lax security, isn't it?
It's like this everywhere in the Federation.
These are the people we're fighting?
Setup, complete.
Now we can relax a little.
You'll be very busy starting tomorrow, Miss Purpleton.
Do your best.
Yes, sir.
Huh? Looks like they're doing something.
You two, down there! This area's off-limits!
- Nina? - Uh, yes?
Should we just load the vulcan ammo into Unit 1?
Right. Please.
Okay.
Are you loading the warhead into it now?
Yes, we are! So quit getting in our way and get out!
If she just lost the bad attitude, she'd be perfect.
Give it up, Keith. It's pretty clear she isn't interested.
I can see that. Let's go. Let's go and drown my sorrows.
Wait, we can still stay a little longer.
Forget it.
- I'm truly heartbroken! - All right, all right!
Magnificent. It's a superb mobile suit.
I think so, too, sir.
Have they finished loading the bazooka's warhead, Ensign?
Uh, yes, sir!
Then I'll check it out.
For heaven's sake! Now what are those two up to?
Would you...
What are you doing?! Shut that hatch and get down from there!
Who the hell?!
What's up?
Something's wrong.
Get out of there! Do you hear me?! Get out of there right now!
Somebody! Somebody, stop Unit 2!
What the? Kou, wait!
Ensign Uraki?!
Ensign Uraki, we'll call for help! You can't do this!
I'm a pilot, too!
We're still loading the ammo! You can't take it out yet!
Try to hurry!
I don't believe this...
You, the pilot in Unit 2. I know you can hear me.
If you get out now, we'll go easy on you. Get out of Unit 2 at once!
I claim this mobile suit and its nuclear warhead.
Zeon will rise again!
Did he say Zeon?
Hull breach in the port side hangar bay!
Confirming damage report!
Captain, we've got a report from the hangar bay.
Someone claiming to be a Zeon has taken Unit 2!
They're stealing Unit 2?!
Incoming missiles! Altitude: 12,000!
What?!
Port side engine, hit! Output dropping.
All sections, report damage!
- Trace those missiles' firing point! - Aye, sir.
Broadcast Minovsky particles!
Aye, sir!
God dammit, what the hell are the Zeon up to now?!
Captain Synapse, you have to stop Unit 1!
What about Unit 1?
That test pilot Ensign Uraki is going after Unit 2 in it!
You got that live ammo loaded yet?!
Karcs! Keith! Move it!
This isn't play-fighting! Watch your asses out there! You hear me?!
Aye, aye!
Lieutenant! It's the Zeon!
They just stole Unit 2, and it's armed with a nuke!
- What? - The Zeon?!
Do those guys still want to fight?!
How many people do they have to kill?!
- Let's go! - Aye, sir!
What's that?!
A Zaku...
The Feddies must have captured it. I can't stand to see it like this!
Commander Gato!
Gaily! Mission accomplished! Withdraw at once!
You're not going anywhere!
Don't come to me just 'cause you're lonely tonight...
Lonely's only part of your game...
As long as you live, you must remember one thing...
Give and take are one and the same...
So tell me are you ready?
Really, really ready?
I don't want your love for one night!
'Cause I'm not lookin' for a love affair...
I need the magic when I hold you near...
It's more important than a one-night stand...
I need the magic when I touch your hand!
I'm not lookin' for a love affair...
I need the magic when I hold you near!
It's more important than a one-night stand...
I need the magic when I touch... touch your hand...
NEXT EPISODE
In the desolate vastness of Australia, the deadly battle...
...between the Zeon remnants and the Federal Forces continues.
Thrown suddenly into real battle, Uraki undergoes a trial by fire.
Cornering Unit 2 in front of him, Uraki sees it:
The enemy pilot's awesome power.
ENDLESS PURSUIT
