We lost contact with a student from the Suzie Muscovy School while training on the colony exterior.
He may have been left behind in one of the C-42 abandoned facilities.
As soon as we've made preparations, we'll go and rescue him.
Abus wandered off the route on his own, didn't he?
Then he's getting what he deserves.
Hurry!
His oxygen reserves are probably long depleted.
This is a serious situation!
So this is the end for Rod Abus, the school's biggest problem child.
Stop it! Don't say that!
I knew it! Asemu's training craft is the only one missing.
He really went to save him!
Why, Asemu?
If you screw up, you'll both be stranded out there!
Wait!
Someone's coming!
Life support, stat!
Hey, are you okay?
Asemu!
Got it. Stay there.
What's his condition?
Unconscious, but alive!
Okay! Emergency transport!
Asemu!
Asemu, are you okay?
What were you thinking, Asemu?!
Shawee!
That was nuts.
Why didn't you wait for the rescue?
It might have been... too late.
Abus's oxygen tank... was already... almost empty.
But it's Abus!
He's always been so mean to us!
That doesn't matter.
I just can't abandon somebody... I know I can save.
Vagan.
A new nation created by those abandoned in the Mars Sphere after the failed settlement plan.
Forced to live in this harsh environment,
the Vagan 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
Episode 18 Graduation Ceremony Battle
It's so cute now!
Wh-What is this?
A surprise from the underclassmen?
Oh, this is why they told us to come here after the ceremony.
I feel bad for peeking.
Asemu!
Zeheart!
Don't you want to take your photos with you?
Photos?
Oh, I remember this!
It was half a year ago.
Can I take it?
I already sent you the data.
I want the one that was pinned up here!
So you're going on to college, Romary?
Yes, I was, but...
But?
I wanted to take some time off to think.
So I'll be staying home for a while.
I see.
You're enlisting in the military, right?
When?
Once the break ends, so... two months, I guess?
It's just like school.
You're joining the military?
Oh, I didn't tell you?
Sorry.
It's true.
Well, given the situation...
It's better than going to military academy. That's what dad says.
Your dad again?
You're always doing what he says.
That's not true.
I thought hard about it, too.
I figured I'd be able to help a lot of people if I did.
There are plenty of ways to help people without becoming a soldier.
Fighting isn't like charity work.
I know that.
But aren't we at war now?
Fighting is the most effective way to protect someone.
You're becoming your own man, huh?
That's great!
I guess I finally realized there are things that even I can do.
Things that even I can do...
Did that make me sound stuck-up?
Not at all!
Ah, there you are!
What are you doing?
The ceremony's about to start!
Dear graduates, I'd like to ask two of your fellow students to speak as your representatives.
Zeheart Galette!
Asemu Asuno!
Please come up here!
The two of us?
The principal always pulls stuff like this.
Hey, get going!
Go!
Abus...
Gotcha!
Outta the way!
Thank you, Abus!
Um... well...
I...
Um, it's...
Um...
I think I'll never forget the time I spent here.
So I want to thank my friends, and everyone.
Thank you!
Hey, hey!
What's with all the formalities?
The two of you are just mobile suit nerds!
"Thank you"?
Think about all you've put us through!
Shawee!
You—
Wasn't it so much fun?!
Hey!
Stop it!
Everyone!
Stop it!
Hey, what are you guys doing?!
Military police?
Zeheart Galette.
You're under arrest for violation of the Military Secrets Act. In other words,
we are apprehending you on suspicion of being a spy.
You cannot refuse.
Wh-What's going on here?
I told you. He's a suspected spy.
In fact, he may be a Vagan.
No way...
Zeheart isn't like that!
He's my friend!
Hey, brat...
You'll shut your mouth if you know what's best for you.
A year and a half ago, the same time you transferred into the school,
the Vagan attacks on Tordia began.
Furthermore, soon after that we detected a series of suspicious coded transmissions.
The number of transmissions increased around the time of the attacks.
You can explain yourself back at the base.
You're coming with us.
Please wait!
Why, you...
Zeheart's a suspect just because he was here at the same time?
If he's the least bit suspicious, we need to investigate.
That's our duty.
How could he be a Vagan?
We've been together... this whole time.
Asemu...
Don't obstruct the investigation!
You wanna get arrested too?
Are you saying that Zeheart was lying to us?
Don't give me that!
You little brat...
Wait!
Romary!
It can't be... Is he the Vagan?
Don't let him get away! After him!
Romary!
Asemu... Zeheart...
Are you okay? You hurt?
I'm fine...
But I was so scared.
It's okay.
It's okay now...
Asemu...
You never thought to doubt me?
What was that, Zeheart?
Why do you... trust me so much?
Because we're friends, aren't we?
Can you stand?
No...
Okay.
Wait, Asemu!
I'm embarrassed...
Let's go to the nurse's office.
Listen.
Search thoroughly without breaking formation!
Yes, sir!
Of all the places he could've run to...
All teams are ready!
Okay.
Leave no stone unturned.
The Vagan's...
It's here...
Thanks for the distraction, Daz.
It was about time for us to make our move.
I've given orders to the Dorado team we had on standby.
We're proceeding with the plan to take over Tordia.
Understood.
I'll take command.
Yes, sir.
Memories, huh?
I may have stayed there too long.
Zedas R, heading out!
We've confirmed four Vagan mobile suits.
Two from the outside.
The other two were hiding in the hills of the colony.
So they try something as soon as I take this job.
How thoughtful of the Vagan.
My team will proceed to intercept them.
Don't underestimate those alien bastards, guys!
Roger!
An attack?
Could it be... that guy who ran away back there?
Vargas!
It's a Vagan attack!
The colony's defense forces can't handle it alone!
Asemu, you go too!
But the Gundam...
I've already loaded it into the trailer and sent it your way.
Come to the main road in front of the school!
Got it!
Damn you, Vagans.
Perhaps I could have found what I wanted there.
But...
I haven't forgotten the horrible image of my homeland.
A warrior needs no temporary serenity!
Get out of here, Vagans!
The Gundam!
So it was still here in the colony!
So... that means Asemu's piloting it?
His movements...
C-Can he predict everything I'm going to do?
What?
The response time is too slow!
Zedas R... You can't keep up with me after all?
Cheap tricks won't be enough against the Gundam.
I can do this!
It's over, Asemu!
You know my name...?
Asemu...
You aren't suited for fighting.
Zeheart...
Is that you, Zeheart?
Why?
What are you doing in there?!
Are you really...
a Vagan?
It's fate.
The two of us were born into different worlds.
You were lying to us?!
Asemu...
Perhaps we could have remained friends.
However,
as a warrior, there is a burden I must bear.
I have a reason to fight. One that I can never forget.
Zeheart...
Do you have something like that?
Something that gives you such resolve?
Could you shoot, knowing it was me?!
A kind person like you shouldn't fight.
But...!
Romary...
Zeheart!
A kind person like you shouldn't fight.

Next Time
Asemu joins the Federation Forces and fights his first battle as a soldier.
Now, a new Gundam appears.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE,
Asemu's Departure
"Asemu's Departure."
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia G-Bouncer
HHHHH
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 1800 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The G-Bouncer is Commander Woolf's personal mobile suit.
It is a beautiful white unit, fitting for Commander Woolf who only pilots white mobile suits.
Since it was developed by the Madorna Workshop,
its abilities won't be showed up by the Gundam!
Look Forward To Next Time!
