They're not actively attacking Nortrum.
That's deliberate on their part.
The enemy is probably trying to capture Nortrum unharmed, not destroy it.
That means Nortrum can defend itself
while we concentrate our strength on the enemy fortress.
Yes.
But the enemy might have a bolder plan in mind. Namely...
Linking up with Nortrum.
If the orbit they're taking is to prepare for docking, it all makes sense.
We need to hurry!
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 27 I Saw a Red Sunset
Robert and Cole teams, engage the enemy's guard mobile suits.
Remaining forces are to temporarily fall back and enter assault formation!
The enemy's defenses are strong.
So it's impossible to destroy the system that stopped the photon ring ray?
In that case...
All members of the Woolf team!
This is Flit Asuno.
Commander Asuno?
What is it?
I'll be commanding you from now on.
Assemble on my position at once!
Yes, sir!
That's Zeheart!
Asemu!
No matter who the enemy is, I'm going to fight!
He's so fast!
He's not supposed to be an X-Rounder!
You're going down!
I'll defeat you and protect everyone!
You'll never be a true warrior, so you'll never defeat me!
I'm different now!
You're all gonna die here, cannon fodder!
Take this!
Don't lose your cool!
I'm not as responsible as you are, Commander!
Mink!
Electromagnetic terminals now deploying to designated orbit!
We won't get many chances.
We can only fire one or two more times.
How long until they're fully deployed?
15 minutes.
We can change our line of fire and try again, but it'll still...
Commander Asuno is our only hope.
Enemy machines in our line of fire!
They must be planning to attack the terminals!
Send mobile suits over there!
Protect it, no matter what!
My guess is that's part of the fortress's attitude control system.
It's huge.
The fortress turned itself around to block that attack.
In other words its defenses are unidirectional.
To land a hit, we have to take out its attitude control!
That's right.
I see.
Let's do it!
There's no time!
I'll use the Zefuld Launcher.
You take care of the nearby enemies!
We just need to draw them away, right?
We'll do it!
Somehow!
I did it!
Take this, Vagan!
The fortress can no longer move.
Now we can damage it.
Hurry!
Captain, fire the photon blaster guide beam!
Please wait!
What is it?
The enemy fortress is turning rapidly!
It's possible it might block our attack!
What?
What's going on?
Impossible! They're using the mobile suits' thrusters to turn it?!
Gundam, I know I can't match you.
But if I set the Mu-szell to full power...!
Is he sacrificing himself?
Is that all? I can still...!
Master Zeheart, lead Vagan to the future!
Daz!
I'll do it anyway!
I must!
Commander Asuno! Are you okay?
Yes. I'll return to the Diva for now.
You regroup and get back to the front lines!
Roger!
We can't keep defending the photon ring ray!
We won't last much longer!
Captain! Cancel the firing sequence of the photon ring ray!
But at this rate...
I have an idea.
Let me set a target for the photon blaster, instead of the photon ring ray.
Very well.
I'll take responsibility.
Sergeant Elle, give him your seat.
Yes, ma'am.
Attention, all mobile suits! Withdraw from the line of fire!
Input complete!
Photon blaster, fire!
Interference screen has shut down!
The collision has badly damaged our propulsion system!
While the enemy mobile suits retreat, have ours pull back from the fortress.
Await further orders!
We managed somehow...
Commander, look at this!
The enemy fortress's propulsion system has completely shut down!
At this rate, it'll collide with Nortrum!
That's ridiculous!
Have the Nortrum government order an emergency evacuation!
Commander Asuno!
I'm aware of the situation.
The enemy fortress has lost its shield.
This time, we can destroy it with the photon ring ray!
But the damage from multiple shots could disable the navigation.
If we don't do it, Nortrum will be destroyed.
We don't have a choice!
Now! Fire!
Photon blaster, fire guide beam!
We don't have enough power!
Diva engines switching to post-firing output tuning mode.
Enemy fortress is slowing down.
It's veering off of its collision course with Nortrum...
It-It's heading toward this ship!
Emergency evasive to port!
All hands, brace for impact!
At this rate, this ship and the fortress will enter the atmosphere!
If it falls to Earth, massive damage will be unavoidable!
First, we'll get away from the fortress!
Then we'll use the full strength of the fleet against it!
No change!
Then we'll have to use the photon blaster again to make an opening!
It's no good!
Part of the firing system is damaged!
Unless we replace the resonance control unit on the side of the barrel...
Get started now!
Replace the unit? We don't have enough people down here!
Okay, I'll do it!
But then the AGE—
Hold on!
I heard the situation.
I'll do it!
180 minutes until atmospheric entry.
Replacement complete!
Now we can—
You killed my comrades!
You're not going down that easy!
What?
You're in the way! Move!
Remi!
Damn you!
Photon blaster, fire!
Okay, found you!
Mr. Obright...
Remi, just hold on!
I'm coming for you!
I guess... I won't be going home.
What?
What did you say?
You can't mean...!
I wanted to make a family with you, Mr. Obright.
Because... I was alone.
Hey, wait!
The Diva's our home, right?
We're going back together!
That's right.
It's our home... isn't it?
Get home safely, okay?
Promise me.
Remi!
Remi...
Remi!
It's falling...
What's happening?
This is...
Asemu?
At this rate, the Earth will be...
A message from Asemu!
Commander! There's still a way!
What?
I'll break into the enemy fortress and detonate the energy core.
If I'm successful, I'll destroy it before it hits the atmosphere.
But there isn't time...
You can't be...
Please listen to me.
As I am now, I can save everyone.
No, I'm the only one who can.
But...!
Come back, Asemu!
Romary...
I lost sight of what I was fighting for until now.
My head was filled with impatience and jealousy.
But I'm not confused any more.
I just want to protect everyone.
So please let me go.
Dad... Romary...
Asemu.
No, don't go!
I'm sorry.
Asemu!
Master Zeheart! I'm sorry, but at this rate,
Downes will do enormous damage to Earth!
I know.
We'll have to switch to the backup plan.
But...
The fortress's self-destruct system is uncontrollable!
Then I'll figure something out.
Surely you don't plan to destroy the energy core yourself...
We have no choice.
We'll get those landing capsules to Earth as per the backup plan.
We need to hide them among the fragments when the fortress explodes, so they'll fall to Earth.
Don't mess up the timing.
Yes, sir.
Please leave it to me.
I'm counting on you.
Earth is to be our Eden.
I will save it.
There's no need to restrain it anymore.
I'll use my X-Rounder power to the fullest!
Zeheart?
Asemu?
Are you planning to destroy this fortress from the inside?
Yes.
I won't let you stop me.
But the interior gets more complex the further in you go.
You won't have time to figure it out.
I know.
So what are you going to do?
I'll destroy the energy core, even if I have to ram it with the Gundam!
That won't work!
We'll use the colony destroyers!
Follow me!
Zeheart?
This is the energy core?
Yes.
I'll show you the detonation point.
This operation cannot possibly fail.
So this was Lord Ezelcant's plan all along?
No, it couldn't be...
I didn't think we'd ever work together again.
Same here.
I've been fighting for so long...
As a Vagan warrior.
To make our wish come true.
But it wasn't enough.
In the end, there's very little you can do by yourself.
That's not true.
Haven't you saved a lot of lives?
No. I wanted to protect the land destined to be our Eden.
Earth.
The Earth is your Eden?
I was determined to create an Eden.
Where we don't have to fear disease, or kill each other in war.
A utopia.
Is that why you fight?
I didn't know why I was fighting.
All I had was a jealous desire to catch up to you and my father.
But you're here now.
For the people you want to protect...
You're risking your life for them.
You're a warrior, too.
A warrior...?
What?
You still have much to do.
This is...
What?!
We can get out?
What's going on?
Just follow me!
There was an escape route here?
Go!
Zeheart!
The explosion sent fragments of the fortress into low Earth orbit.
Effects on the Earth will be minimal.
And the Gundam's escape is confirmed.
Asemu!
Approach angle is fixed. It's entering the atmosphere.
Have the Diva enter the atmosphere, too.
We're saving Asemu, right?
We can't lose the AGE system.
Roger.
Dole...
I'll believe in what you're trying to create...
The future of Vagan.
So this is the Earth...
That's right. We're at war for control of this beauty.
The setting sun...
I've never seen the sun look so red.

All night I stood leaning against the wall

Next Time
One battle has ended,
and a revolution for a new age is about to begin on Earth.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Upheaval in the Earth Sphere."
Upheaval in the Earth Sphere
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia The Atmosphere
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 2700 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The layer of gases around the planet is called the atmosphere.
When a mobile suit or spaceship must re-enter the atmosphere,
it is subject to extreme amounts of heat due to a phenomenon called adiabatic compression.
Look Forward To Next Time!
