Enemy fortress is slowing down.
At this rate, this ship and the fortress will enter the atmosphere!
Commander! There's still a way!
What?
I'll break into the enemy fortress and detonate the energy core.
Zeheart?
We'll use the colony destroyers!
Follow me!
I didn't think we'd ever work together again.
Same here.
Go!
Zeheart!
The actions of Asemu and Zeheart prevented the mobile fortress Downes from falling to Earth.
The land was protected by the strong wills of the young men.
One year later...
41 years after The Day Angel Fell, on this Day of Courage,
a memorial ceremony will be held in the capital city of Brucia, which is in a state of high alert.
Prime minister Froi Olfenoa has just arrived, and the city is full of excitement as the ceremony draws nearer.
Is what's about to happen...
a rebellion?
At this stage, yes.
But even so, evil must be judged as evil.
History will decide who is right based on the actions we are about to take.
All this is to protect the Earth from Vagan's hands.
Protect... the Earth.
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.

It's not love; I can't touch you

I just had harbored some fleeting wishes
kimi dake sore dake
Wishes about you, no more

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

We will go faster than ever before

I want to be your star

I don't mind if I can never become it
oikakete chiri ni naru made
It's my goal until I turn to dust

Now I shine onto the galaxy

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 28 Upheaval in the Earth Sphere
Conrad will take the entrance to the national mall on the west side.
Nadia will take the southern entrance to the main plaza.
Security forces are already deployed on the north side.
I'll be watching the hills on the east side.
That is all.
Any questions?
You think there's a high chance of attack, don't you?
Yes.
If they're assigning special forces like us to security detail...
It means Earth isn't as safe a place as it used to be.
Exactly.
I've heard rumors that a lot of Vagan are already hiding on Earth, but...
It's time.
Everyone, take your positions.
Go to radio control level 3.
Limit your communications to emergencies.
Roger.
When I get to Tordia, it looks like Unoa's going to pick me up.
You've been in touch with her?
She was happy.
"If my brother's a special forces captain, then he's finally come of age."
That girl.
But having my sister say I've come of age...
She's really amazing, though.
She told me she's running all over the place as a medical volunteer.
Yeah, she'd happily go to the dark side of the moon if they needed her for something.
I just can't compare.
She's so much more grown up than I am.
I was a kid.
Even when I joined the military, I was still thinking like a student.
I admired you and Zeheart,
and I was constantly chasing after your shadows.
I forced my own idealized images onto the two of you out of admiration.
I'm sorry.
I've always wanted to apologize.
Romary.
There's no need to apologize.
If you can still be the same Romary you used to be, that's enough.
Asemu...
Okay.
Flight 103 to relay station has begun boarding.
I have to go.
All passengers, please come to the boarding gate.
Yeah.
Romary.
I used to be confused, but I think I finally found my real reason for fighting.
I want to fight for someone I care about.
That feeling will never change.
I'll keep protecting you.
Earth will change today...
But the fight won't be over.
I'm not confused any more.
There's someone I want to protect...
so I'll keep fighting!
Ms. Romary!
Welcome home!
What is courage?
It is a conviction that lets us overcome adversity.
What is courage?
It is having eyes that can see through the nature of fear.
What is courage?
It is the human life force that conquers the unknown and blazes a trail to the future.
He always gives the most adorable speeches.
Don't you think?
That's right.
His speeches are always truly impressive.
We must not forget that day.
The Day Angel Fell, when the space colony Angel was destroyed.
That day marked the start of our suffering.
With no way to resist the encroaching threat, the Earth Sphere was overrun by our enemies.
But we never forgot our courage!
We fought with pride, and many times we repelled their outrageous attacks.
It was this courage that enabled us to defeat Vagan!
Bark all you want.
We're finished with you now.
All is as Lord Ezelcant wills it.
People of the Earth Sphere! Keeps your hearts strong!
Let us overcome our suffering and fight together!
To protect Mother Earth, we must once more show our courage,
and all fight as one!
Is it starting?
Who are you?
Do you know who I...
Please don't make a fuss.
As Prime Minister Olfenoa's wife,
you probably have a good idea about what's going on.
What is this?
What's going on here?
Flit Asuno!
We cannot fight together with you.
What?
Because you are the enemy!
You must be mad.
Flit Asuno,
are you aware of who you're addressing?
Earth Federation Prime Minister Froi Olfenoa.
Despite your position, you betrayed us and conspired with Vagan.
You sold out the Federation, no, all of Earth!
The situation has changed.
We will now dispose of Froi Olfenoa.
We shall do as Lord Ezelcant wills!
As Lord Ezelcant wills it!
Vagan mobile suits have appeared on the ground?!
Just as Team Leader Asemu suspected!
The north side?
But security is heaviest there...
Nadia, Conrad!
The enemy has appeared to the north.
I'll head there now.
But it's possible that could be a diversion.
You stay put, and make sure your areas are well guarded.
Roger!
I sold out Earth?
If you're going to make such a serious accusation, you had better be prepared to back it up, Flit Asuno!
The Olfenoa family has produced generations of prime ministers,
and countless other government officials.
But your family has been keeping a big secret.
The failed Mars settlement project that created Vagan...
The man who planned it and led its cover-up, Dr. Streit Fondor, was part of the Olfenoa bloodline.
Your family has been keeping that fact a secret.
A fact that would have been devastating to your political career
when you were heavily involved in power struggles to gain the position of prime minister.
Vagan took advantage of this.
You had to collaborate with them, or the truth would be made public.
I'm impressed you were able to find that out.
The man who found out and told me about it was Grodek Ainoa.
A man you had killed!
You were conspiring with Vagan,
and the huge fees you collected as an informant enabled you to climb to your current position.
I'll say it again!
You sold out the Earth!
That is the undeniable truth!
You're too soft, Earthers!
The Gundam, huh?
I didn't expect to see you again.
Vagan!
We have a report that three Vagan mobile suits are heading here from the north side!
They're coming here?!
You're their target.
They're cutting you off.
The Vagan caught on to our plans.
You've gathered a lot of information by conspiring with Vagan.
There's no way they'll let you live.
They came with mobile suits to kill me?!
You're a symbol of the Federation government's corruption.
Perhaps they intend to further embarrass the Federation Forces by killing you as a spy.
Why are you stopping me, Gundam?!
Wh-What?
Can't you see the corruption of the Federation Forces now?
If you're still risking your life in battle, you're nothing but a fool!
What are you—!
We Vagan can't lose...
to an enemy that fights without conviction!
I'll settle things with you later!
Right now, I have a mission!
I won't let you go!
Out of my way!
Vagan mobile suits!
Why?
Why do they have to kill me?
I've been handling things so well until now...
I kept the trust of Earth, while showing my understanding of Ezelcant's ideals.
Indeed.
Both the amount of damage to Earth, and the failure of Vagan's operations...
You were convinced you could manipulate them both as you planned.
And thanks to my actions, hasn't Earth avoided catastrophic damage?
Because I wasn't just conspiring with Vagan,
I was negotiating with Ezelcant on Earth's behalf!
Did you think your petty negotiations would have any effect?!
They've just been using you.
Look!
This is what you've brought upon yourself!
Don't worry.
I won't let them kill you.
There are still many things you're going to tell me.
Without me as a negotiator, Vagan and the Federation Forces will never reach a compromise!
This war for Earth will continue until one side is completely destroyed!
That's been my intention all along.
Because my goal...
...is the extermination of Vagan!
You're a man obsessed with revenge!
You'll regret losing me!
How can someone like you protect the Earth?!
You can't protect anything without fighting for it.
Why?
Why can you still fight?!
I'm not fighting for myself, or for some organization!
There are people who are precious to me.
That's why I fight! To keep protecting them!
I apologize profusely, Lord Ezelcant.
I, Zant, have been defeated... by a mere Earther.
I pray my life may become part of Eden's soil...
I can see it...
Eden!
AG 142.
Prime Minister Froi Olfenoa was executed for treason against the Earth Federation.
Many others in the highest levels of government and military were found to have connections with Vagan.
The purge committee led by Flit Asuno exposed them all.
The Federation Forces underwent a massive reorganization,
and the Earth Federation Government was soon reborn under new leadership.
A new era had begun for the Earth Sphere.
Sleep for now...
You have a role to play in the next era as well...
Zeheart.
And once again, the times began to change.

Next Time
Earth is plunged into chaos as Vagan attacks.
Now, Kio Asuno activates a new Gundam.
Grandpa's Gundam
Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam Age...
"Grandpa's Gundam."
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Earth Federation Forces and Earth Federation Government
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 2800 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The role of the Earth Federation Government is to unite the member countries and govern them as one nation.
The Earth Federation Forces is the army formed under that government.
Since it's such a large organization, it's bound to have people who do bad things.
Look Forward To Next Time!
