This wild and gorgeous scent...
It's the best.
And that suits me, because I'm the best.
I'm looking great!
It is the space age, hundreds of years after people began to emigrate to space colonies.
The wars that were once fought for control of the Earth Sphere had ended,
and it seemed that an era of peace had arrived.
However, this fleeting peace collapsed.
A colony was destroyed by an unidentified enemy that suddenly appeared.
The curtain was rising on a new battle that would continue over 100 years.
bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
We looked up at the sun that was to be
bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
We looked up at the sun that was to be
sora no kumo kootte furisosoida
as it rained ice from frozen skies
kokoro no sukima wo neratte tsukisasaru uta
We sang a song that knifed into our hearts
tometeita jikan ga ugokidashite
and frozen time resumed once more
kibou no hikari ni mukau michi wa
Walking the path that leads towards the lights of hope
machigai ja nai to jibun de kimeta n da
is not a mistake, of that I am sure
hiraiteiku ten no mado kara sasu you na mune no itami
I feel a pain in my heart like a lance from the brightening sky
mabushisugiru hodo
So much that they blind me
shinka suru hibi shinka suru uta wa
These days and our song evolve

Running running running running

So that they will never rust

I'm already running

towards the endless, endless

Episode 4 The White Wolf
That should do it.
Haro, switch to PC mode.
Roger! Roger!
What are you doing, Flit?
I'm transferring all the data from the previous battles to the AGE system.
Are you ready, Vargas?
Yup! Ready whenever!
I didn't know you could do that.
This is an important duty, too.
Duty... You're starting to sound like a soldier.
Battles, huh?
Nora's gone, isn't it?
What's going to happen to us next?
What are Mom and Dad up to right now?
If you're worried,
then let's go ask the captain!
Mr. Grodek.
There's something we wanted to ask you.
Ask the rest of the crew.
What's his problem?
He's creepy.
I see, but that's not surprising.
The captain is a busy man.
What's going to happen to us now?
Right now, the ship is heading to Fardain for resupply.
We'll arrive in seven days.
I heard that the Nora citizens the Federation rescued were taken to Tordia.
You can catch a ship to Tordia once we get to Fardain.
The military will take care of your ticket.
I'll try to contact your parents too.
Really?
Yeah.
Isn't that great, Dique?
Yeah!
You sound like you're not included.
You're coming too, right, Flit?
What is this?
Just what is going on here?
Why aren't we at Nora?
When did we leave?
Was there really a battle?
And who are you guys, anyway?
It's Woolf Enneacle!
You know him?
He's famous!
He used to be a star in the Mobile Suit Grand Prix race!
I heard he joined the Federation Forces. I guess he ended up on this ship!
I apologize for not introducing myself.
I'm responsible for the ship's navigational control...
I'm not interested in hearing men introduce themselves.
I'd like to hear all about you, though.
I refuse.
She's Ms. Millais.
I see. I'll call her Millie then.
I refuse!
So anyway, what are these kids doing aboard a warship?
Since when was this a daycare center?
Daycare center?
They're children we rescued at Nora.
We were suddenly attacked by the UE.
Oh, so we panicked and ran.
I see.
But they're no ordinary kids.
Flit here is the first human to defeat the UE.
With a mobile suit he made himself.
What?
That joke's not funny.
It's true!
Everything's been crazy since I woke up from healing sleep.
What's going on?
We were ordered to board this ship at Nora.
Captain Grodek can tell you the details—
Grodek?
Who's that? When did we get a new captain?
No, never mind, don't answer that.
I'll get the answers from this Grodek guy himself.
What's with that guy?
He's Woolf Enneacle, I'm telling you!
A former star in the Grand Prix race!
He's a weird guy. Once there was nobody left for him to beat, he announced he was joining the military.
With his animalistic intuition and unparalleled piloting skills,
he earned the nickname "The White Wolf" and became an ace pilot of the Federation Force.
Is he really that great?
Hey, is everyone working hard?
All you mechanics!
He's back...
So this is my new mobile suit?
I like it.
No. This is my mobile suit.
It's called the Gundam.
Oh, I see. Then I'll take it from you.
Why?!
Do you know what they call me?
The White Wolf?
That's right.
So I get the white mobile suit.
In other words, this Gundam thing is my machine!
I'm asking you why!
Because I'm the commander of this ship's mobile suit forces.
Commander?
Who said that?
Captain Grodek.
The Captain just appointed me to this position himself.
Of course, it was only natural considering my abilities.
Not a good choice...
So the Gundam is mine. Understand?
No, I don't.
You're not satisfied?
Of course not!
Then let's compete for it.
Compete?
That's right.
You and I will get in our mobile suits and have a one-on-one mock battle.
If I win, the Gundam is mine.
And if by some bizarre chance I lose, I'll give up on it.
Well?
The Gundam's not a toy!
I know. It's a weapon.
Flit's talking back to him as if he were a soldier.
What'll it be? If you like, you can just accept defeat right now.
Fine! We'll take you on!
Emily! Why are you...?
If he loses the Gundam, he might stop acting like a soldier!
The girl seems to have more guts than you do.
So what'll it be, kid?
Okay, I accept!
Then it's settled.
Deploying mobile suit catapults.
The Gundam will launch first, followed by the Genoace Custom.
Is this really a good idea, Captain?
It'll be good training.
Let's go, Gundam!
The Gundam will launch from portside Chute 2.
MS catapult station, begin entry sequence.
Link between Gundam and launch control system confirmed.
Activate synchrotron scan, accelerators 1 through 4.
Gauging complete. All values normal.
Moving to rotary action sequence.
Catapult personnel, withdraw to the Operation Command Center.
Pressure control system online. No change to internal pressure.
Moving to launch sequence. Final confirmation of catapult launch path.
No meteorite debris found in launch path.
No problems with Chute 2 catapult launch.
Launch preparations complete!
Flit Asuno, Gundam, here I go!
He can talk the talk, at least.
Genoace Custom will now prepare for launch.
Roger, roger.
Friendly unit "Gundam" inside patrol area.
Maintain relative distance.
Chute 1, launch preparations complete!
Woolf, Genoace Custom, heading out!
Don't forget the deal!
I won't lose!
This'll be a mock battle using these marker shots.
They won't do any real damage if they hit,
but the computer will determine the damage they do.
The time limit is 30 minutes.
The one who gets the most hits and the most points by then, wins.
Any questions?
None.
Okay then, let's begin!
Who's going to win?
Normally, I'd say Woolf.
Yeah.
But it's possible...
Are you ready?
Any time.
Ready.
Go!
It's started!
Go, Woolf!
Don't lose, Flit!
What's wrong?
Your aim's off!
What was that?
I forgot to mention, but being hit will result in a momentary electric shock.
It's a punishment for sucking, you could say.
Talking down to me...!
Take this!
I can't hit him! Why?
Flit!
He's gonna lose before he even gets a hit in!
What are you doing, Flit?
You need to watch his movements!
Watch his movements?
That's right! I did it with the UE, didn't I?
You can't win a fight just by watching!
What?
He did it! He got him!
Great job, Flit! Get him!
What?
Nothing.
He's not bad.
Yes, Flit's amazing!
So it looks like you weren't all talk.
The Gundam is my mobile suit!
It's time for me to get serious!
Sounds good to me!
An enemy!
So this is the UE?
The Gundam and the Genoace Custom have made contact with an enemy believed to be the UE!
They're in a combat situation!
All hands to level 1 battle stations! Hurry!
All hands to level 1 battle stations!
Level 1 battle stations!
What are you doing, Emily?
No way... Flit...
Damn! We can't beat them with marker shots...
Vargas, launch the DODS rifle!
I know! I'm getting it ready!
It's coming!
You get back!
No, you get back, Mr. Woolf!
What?
I've fought the UE before!
The Gundam can beat them!
Hey!
I can do it! It'll be just like Nora...
I'll use the beam dagger!
He's...
What are you doing?
Shut up!
I was just about to beat it!
Just be quiet!
Don't move!
Look over there.
Flit, come in!
Flit, Woolf!
What's wrong? Give me a report.
The Gundam and Genoace Custom have vanished, along with the enemy mobile suit-type!
Vanished?!
Captain, let's go after them!
The Diva will remain on standby.
Captain!
We can't send this ship in until we know what's going on.
Prioritize surveillance of the surrounding area.
Grandpa, what's going on?
I heard they disappeared from the scanners...
Calm down, Emily.
For now we need to believe in Flit and wait.
What do we do now?
With our current equipment we can't even put up a fight.
Thankfully, they don't seem to have noticed us.
We stay quiet and let them pass.
I don't know how they're doing it, but even this close, I can't detect that huge ship.
We'll just have to wait.
Mr. Woolf...
I know. So don't move.
Hey!
You idiot!
Mr. Woolf!
You get back to the Diva! You know roughly where it is, right?
But...
I'm not doing this for you!
Let them all know about the enemy ship!
Go!
I'll show you what The White Wolf can do!
I'm getting something on the search system!
A friendly signal?
It's the Gundam!
Open a channel!
Flit, can you hear me? Come in!
Ms. Millais!
Flit!
Send out the DODS rifle!
What are you doing? Hurry!
Vargas, you're ready, right?
I'm ready whenever!
All right! Launch the DODS rifle!
Flit!
Everyone stay back! There are enemies here! Tons of them!
Enemies?
Tons of them?
Set a course for the direction the Gundam came from.
Maybe I overdid the cool-guy act.
That's...
The Gundam!
Why did you come back?
I told the Diva what's going on!
But there are so many...
That's it!
Give me that.
What?
They're gone?
I don't get it, but we're saved.
Thank you, Mr. Woolf.
You didn't do too badly either.
Jeez, you guys went all out.
Show some consideration for the guys that have to fix it.
Don't complain.
I hear things were pretty close this time.
The pilots are always risking their lives out there.
I was fine!
Sure you were. You were about to cry!
And then I told you, "A man should never give up! There's still a chance!"
You never said anything like that!
I was the one who came back for you after I told the Diva!
Yeah.
I came back to save you!
Are you even listening to me, Mr. Woolf?
Yeah.
It looks like the enemy has some way of avoiding detection by radar and optical sensors.
An invisible umbrella...
I've figured out what the UE really are...
koboreochita namida ga kyou mo hoshi ni nari
The tears you've cried turn into stars today again

Fardain, a new land.
A meeting with a mysterious boy will alter Flit's fate.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
The Demon Boy
"The Demon Boy."
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Gafuran
HHHH
Were you able to get this month's special prize? Lets check your official HP stats at next month's end-of-the-month special!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The UE units look like mobile suits. Their specifics are still shrouded in mystery,
but according to classified intel, they're called Gafuran.
They have a strange resemblance to dragons and are tough enemies.
Look Forward To Next Time!
