Mom?
Mom!
Flit...
Mom!
Just hold on, and I'll...
Flit, take this.
Mom?
This contains...
This contains something you have to do in the future...
Something I have to do?
Now, go!
Mom!
Flit... I'll entrust your fate...
to the Gundam.
Mom...
Mom!
I had that dream again, Mom...

We looked up at the sun that was to be

Episode 1 The Savior, Gundam
Our next story. Late last night...
a Colony Express cargo ship was attacked by unknown persons...
and its 20 crew members were reported missing.
The EFF Crisis Operations Center
has determined this incident was an attack from the UE— the Unknown Enemy—
and is continuing its investigation.
14 years after "The Day Angel Fell", now considered the first attack by the UE...
the Federation government can only say this mysterious enemy's identity is still unknown.
This has led to increasing frustration being voiced by the citizens.
Flit!
Are you up yet?! Flit! Flit--
G'morning, Emily!
Honestly...
You stayed up late again, didn't you?
Your eyes are totally red!
Really!
Flit, sleep-deprived! Flit, sleep-deprived!
Shut up!
Oh, Haro!
See ya!
Honestly!
Honestly! Honestly!
Wait for me!
Well, I'll leave it to you.
Yes, sir!
Mr. Bruzar!
Good morning, sir!
Oh, Flit.
You've heard we're starting mobility tests this afternoon, right?
Of course, Commander!
See you later, sir!
I'm off!
He's a normal kid, and yet...
We're all astonished by his genius.
Hurry! Hurry!
Mobility tests?
Yeah, soon the Gundam will be able to stand on its own!
Hey, Haro!
Don't hurry so much, or you'll....
Hey, are you all right?!
Oh? It's Flit and Emily.
G-Grandpa...
Vargas!
Isn't that the Gundam's arm?!
Why are you using it without asking me?!
I wanted to try it out beforehand.
Its mobility is much better than expected. I'm flabbergasted!
That's just irresponsible!
If you're going to do tests on the Gundam, you have to tell me first!
Yeah! The Commander gave Flit responsibility for the Gundam!
All right, all right. You're so fussy.
Vargas!
Flit, running late! Flit, running late!
Oh no! We're going to be late!
Don't do anything else without asking me, Vargas!
Sure thing!
What?
Oh, Flit, you're so serious when it comes to the Gundam.
The Gundam is...
The Gundam is special to me.
Behold, Young Master.
This is the legendary warrior passed down through generations of the Asuno family...
Gundam.
Gundam!
Yes.
During the great wars of the past...
it was also known as the savior that brought peace to the world.
In the past, these warriors were known as mobile suits.
Mobile suits?
That's right. Enormous humanoid weapons called mobile suits.
And many of the best were created...
by the Asuno family, who have been mobile suit creators for generations...
Young Master.
I'll be the one to create it.
The legendary savior: Gundam.
Phew, we made it!
Hey, Flit!
Mornin', Dique!
Did you hear?
There was another alien attack!
Aliens? You mean the UE, don't you?
Their identity is unknown, so they must be aliens.
Even adults are saying it!
Well, as long as we live in Nora, it has nothing to do with us.
They don't come to places with a lot of people.
Good morning, students!
Let's begin today's lesson.
First of all... Hm? Is something wrong, Flit?
Flit! The teacher's here!
Teacher! What do you think about yesterday's incident?
You mean the cargo ship supposedly attacked by the UE?
Shouldn't we be preparing ourselves for an attack?
Even in Nora we're in danger!
Here we go again.
Little Flit's paranoid delusions...
Quiet!
If we were really in danger, there'd be an announcement to that effect.
However! There are no such reports at present!
But I know we are!
Flit...
Look at this!
The UE's attacks follow a certain set of rules.
If we solve the equation according to these rules...
See?! We can tell that Nora will be attacked next!
That's enough!
Just what do you think you're doing, Flit?
Your grades may be good right now, but if you skip classes, you'll end up failing.
Because you're helping with something like the military's mobile suit development...
it's filled your head with all this nonsense!
I won't accept it!
But...
Return to your seat, Flit!
Do you want to get kicked out of school?
Flit got yelled at! Flit got--mmph!
I'm not mistaken!
The enemy could be right upon us, and yet...!
How long has it been since we were last at the Planeta-Night?
I dunno.
Oh, it's started!
Wow!
Incredible!
Maybe I'm worrying too much.
You mean, about Nora being attacked?
Yeah...
The people of this colony think of it...
only as something that happens in other, faraway places.
After all, they've never been attacked by the UE.
But I saw it.
When my home colony, Ovan, was attacked by the UE...
the city went up in flames instantly.
They don't think anything of killing people.
Flit...
People say they're aliens, but what are they, really?
My mother gave me this memory unit in her final moments.
She said it contained something I have to do.
Recorded inside this device were plans for a mobile suit.
It looked just like a painting of the legendary warrior in my old home.
The savior in the painting that you're always telling me about, right?
Yeah. Gundam.
That's what they called that white warrior.
I think my mother wanted to tell me that I should build that mobile suit and fight.
Fight, and save the world.
So that's why the mobile suit you're making is named Gundam.
Right. It's the name of a savior.
What's that?
What's going on?
Flit, the city...
That light was... an explosion.
What?
It's them!
It can't be!
It's the UE!
At this rate, the city will be...
Flit?!
It's the UE...
They're attacking for real!
Enemy is confirmed to be UE.
Defense teams, head out to intercept.
Please respond!
Where are the mobile suits?
Situation report!
They still haven't launched!
This is actual combat!
The Genoaces outside should intercept the enemy as needed.
Hangar 3, can Drace's team head out?
Make them hurry!
At this rate, they'll take over the exit!
Grudech.
Deputy Commander Grudech!
Yes, sir!
I'm putting you in command of defense for Blocks 4 to 8.
They're coming here!
Yes, sir!
Emily, you don't need to come!
But I... Oh!
All hands to battle stations.
Repeat, all hands to battle stations.
The UE's attacking?!
How are we supposed to fight against aliens?!
Flit! Emily!
Over here! Hurry!
Grandpa!
Flit...
The UE!
It's a Genoace!
You two!
Flit, let's go!
Why are you dawdling?
Honestly, you nearly gave me a heart attack.
So that's the UE's mobile suit...
No! That's no mobile suit!
It's the same as last time...
All they do is wreak destruction over and over... They're monsters!
This trailer... Is the Gundam on it?
Yeah! When they showed up, I hurried and hid it here.
You hid it?! Why?
So they got the Genoace...
Vargas, let's send out the Gundam!
What did you say?!
We can do it! The Gundam can fight!
That's right, old man!
That new model is ready to use, isn't it?
Largan!
Impossible.
The Gundam can't even move yet. It's not ready for real combat.
That's not true!
We've only tested its ability to stand up and walk!
That was enough to confirm its mobility!
Please use it, Largan!
No! The risk is too high for someone piloting it for the first time!
Okay, okay.
I'll go out in the Genoace!
Largan!
Flit, this place isn't safe either. Let's retreat further inside.
Hey!
Flit!
Don't tell me you're...!
You're not even a pilot!
There's no way you can do it!
I'm the one who built the Gundam!
I know it better than anyone!
Knowing it well won't do you any good!
This is war!
Largan Drace, Genoace, heading out.
Hurry up and open the hatch!
An enemy undefeated for 14 years....
So what?!
Largan!
Rescue the pilot! Hurry!
Hey! Flit!
Don't go! You could die!
Die...
Hey, Largan! Are you okay?
Okay, carry him out!
Ow...
Dammit, I couldn't do a thing...
If this goes on, everyone will die...
Huh?
This is the kind of enemy we're up against. That's why...
That's why I have to fight!
Flit...
You'll have to adjust the balancer as you go. You can do it, right?
Yeah! Thanks, Vargas!
Hey, old man! You're not going to let Flit pilot that thing, are you?
No need to worry!
Flit's determination is the real deal!
He's just as serious as a soldier!
Please take care of her.
Grandpa?
Mom...
I'll use this Gundam that you gave me...
and I'll fight them!
All right!
Looks like you were able to activate it.
Vargas!
All right, I'll raise the carrier now!
He's serious?
Flit...
Honestly, I don't want to let you go. But...
I've always been watching you...
Seeing how dedicated you were...
If you don't go now, your battle will never end, will it?
Power unit, no problems.
AGE system activated.
I'm counting on you, Gundam.
Commander, the Gundam appears to be heading out!
The Gundam? Is Largan the pilot?
No, actually...
What?!
Flit! What is the meaning of this?
Why are you...
Mr. Bruzar, this is what I want. I need to head out no matter what!
Flit...
I understand.
But you have to promise to survive, all right?
Of course!
Now let's go, Gundam!
We're going to save everyone.
Flit Asuno, Gundam, heading out!
The new model is heading out.
The Genoaces are no match for them!
Hangar 4, anti-bomb hatch, confirm transfer!
Establish a data link.
Do your best...
Show me the strength passed down to us, Gundam.
Send in the reserves! Concentrate fire!
Gundam...
Fight, Flit...
For everyone... and for yourself too!
Become our savior, together with the Gundam...
Just one machine did all this...
Wow, it withstood that?
Oh no! Is there some kind of weapon?!
No effect?! Then...
Why, you!
Amazing!
He defeated it...
The UE mobile suit-type...
So that's... the Gundam.
I did it!
Another one? What's it trying to do?!
I-It killed its own ally!
They ran away?
Mom... so this is the battlefield...
Wait! You mustn't go out yet!
It's the Gundam!
Indeed. That Flit really is quite something!
When did he get this good?
Careful now.
Flit... I'm so glad.
Wow!
We did it!
We won. Our first victory.
However, beating one enemy will change nothing.
But this can be the turning point for a counterattack.
For now, this victory...
It's the mobile suit-type from earlier!
Now it's attacking from outside the colony!
So it's retaliation...
The Day Angel Fell... is being repeated.
Grandpa...
Wh-What's going on...?
This is...
koboreochita namida ga kyou mo hoshi ni nari
The tears you've cried turn into stars today again

Next Time
Their homeland is being destroyed by the Unknown Enemy.
AT that moment, the Gundam unleashes its true power.
Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam Age...
The Power Of AGE
The Power of AGE.
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Gundam
HHHH
By watching the first episode of Gundam AGE, you should have earned 100 EXP points! Check the "d" button on your remote control!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Gundam is a mobile suit we built based on the blueprints in the AGE device that my mother gave me.
We named it Gundam because it looks like the white savior in the painting held by the Asuno family.
Look Forward To Next Time
