Cold Sleep
Project Eden will now shift to Phase 2.
Yes, sir.
Vagan.
A new nation created by those abandoned in the Mars sphere after the failed settlement plan.
Forced to live in this harsh environment,
they began a grand plan to take back the paradise known as Earth.
ai ja nai sawarenai
It's not love; I can't touch you
tada hakanai negai deshita
I just had harbored some fleeting wishes
kimi dake sore dake
Wishes about you, no more
mitsumeteita hikari deshita
I stared at the light that was you
ima unmei wo hamidashite
Now we break free of fate
sutorobo no toki ga kimi wo sarau mae ni sa
before a time of uncertainty blows you far away
motto hayaku kakenuketeyuku
We will go faster than ever before
ano hoshi ni naritai
I want to be your star
maboroshi demo ii
I don't mind if I can never become it
oikakete chiri ni naru made
It's my goal until I turn to dust
ima ginga wo matataite
Now I shine onto the galaxy
monokuro no yume ga boku wo sasou mae ni sa
before despair sneaks into my dreams and hopes
konya mayowazu ni mune wo saku
Tonight we act without hesitation, without regard for others
ano hoshi ni naritai
I want to be your star
A.G. 140.
25 years after the War of Bat Extermination,
the war between the Earth Federation and the Martian nation of Vagan still continues.
As Vagan gradually expanded its territory,
Episode 16 The Gundam in the Stable
the Earth Federation government
prepares for a major counterattack.
I brought you some coffee.
Commander?
Commander Flit Asuno!
What is it, Algreus?
Here.
Functional testing of the new mobile suit Adele is complete.
It performed splendidly.
We're already getting requests for combat deployment.
I see.
That's because the Adele is based on the Gundam AGE-1's design.
Give priority to requests from front-line forces.
Yes, sir.
An operation plan?
You're as dedicated as ever.
I'm going to hunt down the Vagan, and wipe them from this universe.
How long will this war continue?
I heard that you were born on the day it all started, The Day Angel Fell.
40 years, huh?
The Federation government has made many peace offers.
But they rejected them all.
Yes.
They don't even think like humans.
Peace would be unthinkable.
You're very fixated on defeating the Vagan, Commander.
Of course.
They're the enemies of humanity.
Your judgment is very flexible, but you never yield on that one thing.
It's a mystery to me.
Are you trying to tell me my thinking is wrong?
No, I didn't mean...
You graduated Srysrains at the head of your class, right?
Yes.
Then you should know that a staff officer must try to understand his commander.
My apologies.
Will you be seeing your family on your next leave?
Yes, I intend to.
Asemu...
What are you doing now?
Hey brats, I dunno what your stupid Mobile Suit Club is all about,
but I'm sick of that racket you make behind the school building!
It's bothering us.
B-But the school gave us permission to work here.
Shawee, they're threatening us to get our money!
If you've got money, then why not share some with us?
You've got no right to ask for money when you've got the brains of an antique AI chip!
Macil!
What did you say, brat?
He was just saying he won't do what you want!
You're Asemu Asuno, right?
Don't get cocky just because you're the son of a Federation Forces commander!
I'll make you regret that!
Damn it!
Son of a...
Wh-Why you...
Come on, then!
Hey! What are you doing?
But man, that was close.
It wasn't close at all.
Even if the teacher hadn't come, Asemu would've beaten them black and blue!
Don't be stupid!
We can't fight at school!
And besides, they might try and get revenge or something!
Let them try.
I'll just beat them up again.
Asemu...
It's moving, it's moving!
Isn't it acting kinda weird?
Shawee, Macil!
Sorry. I think there's a problem with the arm's drive controls.
I'll look into it.
You really should!
What was that?
What's wrong?
I heard a loud noise...
This is magnificent!
This is your... um...
Mobile suit!
Right! Mobile suit!
Romary Stone is talking to us!
I'm amazed that you can make something like this.
M-Mobile suits are o-our specialty.
It looks pretty fun!
Hey, Romary.
You'll get dirty if you get any closer.
That's right. It stinks of oil.
Let's go!
Come on, let's go!
Romary's as cute as ever!
A family obsessed with mobile suits, huh?
Dad?
Yes? Is that you, Dad?
Hey, you remembered!
Happy birthday, Asemu!
Thanks, Unoa.
Anyway, it's rare for you to be able to come home, Dad.
That's right.
How long has it been?
Flit's a Federation Forces commander now.
He can't just leave base to go play with his family.
You're 17 now, right Asemu?
Yeah.
Seconds please, Emily.
You shouldn't eat too much, Grandpa.
That's right! You eat too much, Great Grandpa!
You too, Unoa?
This is only my third plate.
What's this?
What's that?
Asemu, this is for you.
It's a precious legacy of the Asuno family.
A legacy of the Asuno family?
It had to be passed down to you someday.
And I think it's time.
What is this?
You'll know soon enough.
It will protect you, and those you care about.
How cool!
That's not fair, Asemu.
Carry it with you at all times.
Dad...
Thanks, I'll take good care of it!
Listen, Asemu.
If anything happens, you need to protect everyone.
That's the duty of the heir to the Asuno family.
Understand?
Right...
Anyway, there's a mobile suit contest next week!
Asemu's trying to win for the second time in a row!
You should come see it with us, Dad!
Sorry.
I could only get one day of leave.
I'll be leaving tomorrow.
Asemu, I'm sending a recommendation to Srysrains Military Academy for you.
Elite schools can be tough.
Don't neglect your studies now.
Dad wants me to be a soldier...
Everybody, be quiet.
He'll be joining your class as of today.
This is Zeheart Galette.
Be nice to him.
Nice to meet you.
Hey!
In this school, I'm the only one who gets to walk down the middle of the hallway!
Didn't you know that?
Isn't that...
Yeah.
It's that transfer student.
He's up against Rod Abus, huh?
This is bad...
I'll teach you the rules of this school!
Why you...!
Forgive me.
I just transferred to this school.
Well...
As long as you understand, it's fine.
We can't synchronize it with the other joint drives.
Let's rollback the torque control program to the previous version.
If you're changing that, you'll replace the other joints too, right?
Where'd I put that backup?
The previous version?
It had its own problems, though.
Zeheart Galette!
You wanna join the Mobile Suit Club?
It's fun.
We won the Tordia Tournament last year!
Sorry.
I'm not interested.
Yeah.
I've obtained information about an infiltration route into the colony.
Let's start the operation right away.
The arm movements aren't getting any better.
Aren't you obsessing over this too much?
Let's rebuild the joint drive program!
Right now?
That's impossible!
The tournament's next week.
I don't want to lose to Delstoy.
Neither do I.
But still...
I want to win no matter what!
Let's do it!
What's the rush, Asemu?
You want to win to impress your dad, right?
You're doing plenty already.
No, I don't care about that.
It's natural to want to win a battle contest, right?
Well, yeah, but...
I really don't care...
That's the emergency evacuation alarm.
It couldn't be...!
That's...
the Vagan!
Seriously?
But Mama told me Tordia's security was really tight, so we'd be okay!
This is bad.
That's the residential area.
They're going to kill everybody!
It's no good! I can't get through to Mom!
Damn!
Romary!
What are you doing here?!
Asemu!
I hurt my leg...
Get on!
It's dangerous here.
Okay!
Where are we going?
I'm going home!
I couldn't get a hold of my family!
Where is everybody?
Asemu! Over here!
Vargas!
Where's Unoa and Mom?
Don't worry!
They took shelter under the hous—
Wait, who's that?
She's hurt.
I couldn't leave her!
Okay then, whatever.
Come with me!
Josse, Hans!
How is it?
Preparations okay!
You can get in any time!
Vargas! Is this...
That's right!
The strongest mobile suit Flit ever made, the Gundam!
My dad's mobile suit is here of all places?
Yeah.
Flit hid it here to protect this colony.
You wanted me... to fight in this?
That's for you to decide.
Dad... Did you know this would happen?
Asemu... If anything happens, you must fight to protect everyone.
That's the duty of the men of the Asuno family.
It will protect you, and those you care about.
And I, like Dad...
Vargas! I'll do it!
Well said!
Let's go!
Asemu?
Is it ready to go?
We've kept it well maintained.
The Gundam's performance is much higher than when Flit used it.
But if I move this, won't it destroy the stables?
Don't worry.
Josse! Hans!
We're on it!
The AGE Device is the key.
The AGE Device?
Oh right, this...
I'll try it!
Be careful, Asemu!
I know the basics of operating a mobile suit...
I can do this!
Main monitor, on!
Power unit, all green!
Activating AGE System!
Now stand, Gundam!
Asemu is piloting that?
Take care!
Got it!
Okay, let's go!
So that's the Gundam?
This is Zeheart.
Target located.
I can do this! I can do it!
They destroyed it!
I have to do this!
I have to protect everyone!
I can do it too!
Damn it! I'll beat them no matter what!
Oh, he's dual wielding?
Asemu...
Calm down, Asemu!
That's right.
Calm down.
Calm down, Asemu!
But I sense that pilot is inexperienced.
Is he a rookie?
Go!
What an interesting fighting style.
Damn you!
One left!
I got them...
Did I win?
He beat two Dorados...
So that's the power of the Gundam?
This mist...
This is Zeheart.
I've lost sight of the Gundam!
It has begun.
This is our destiny.
Colony Tordia has just been attacked by Vagan mobile suits...
I wanted to spare you the pain of being unable to protect those you love.
Asemu...
I entrust the Gundam to you.
kabe ni motarete hitobanjuu
All night I stood leaning against the wall
kangaete mita n da jibun no koto
and pondered who I want to be
eranda ikusaki wa koko de ii no ka
I wondered if the path I chose is right
wakaranaku nanda
and got nowhere
demo kotae nante denai mama sa
But, you know, we never find answers to that
doko ni ita tte hisshi na mono sa
Nobody really has it
utsuridashitemo sukoshi dake mieta za wo shimeta
Even if everything starts changing again, some things won't
boku ga boku de aru tame ni
What are the things I can't lose
ushinaccha ikenai mono wa nani
if I want to be myself?
kantan ittenai kotae wa tsurakute kurushii yo
The answer I can't phrase easily has weighed heavily on me for a long time
tatta ichido no missu wo
You shouldn't brood over
nandomo kudoku yo shinaide
a single mistake in the past
arukeba aiseru kara
You can find love if you come out of your shell
boku ga boku de aru tame ni
So that I can be myself
sore ga nanika wo sagashite
I have to look for something
hitotsukitachi tomari tsurakute kurushii yo
You've felt bitter for so many months now
hitotsukitachi tomari tsurakute kurushii yo
You've felt bitter for so many months now
dakedo ichido kimi ga jibun wo kudoku yo semezu ni arukeba
If you came out of your shell but once without being so hard on yourself
aiseru sa my world
you could find love in my world
Next Time
On the day of the mobile suit championships,
a black shadow sneaks up on the Gundam.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Friendship, Love, and Mobile Suits."
Friendship, Love, and Mobile Suits
Three destinies will form history...
