Vagan's plan to invade Earth with its mobile fortress was stopped,
and the planet was protected.
Ten years later, in A.G. 151...
There, there...
He's so cute!
Look, he's got your lovely smile.
That's right.
He does look like Asemu.
Yeah!
Does he?
Hey, kid.
Your name's Kio.
And starting now, we'll always be together.
Let me hold him this time!
Be careful!
There, there...
So, do you really have to leave such a cute child to go to work?
I'm sorry.
But this is my last mission.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, I'm off.
Take care.
Bye!
I never thought this day would come...
A kind person like you shouldn't fight.
I want to show it to that child, at least.
A world without war...
And for that, I have to fight now.
And once again, time passed...
Today's the Day of Courage.
The day the long war started.
If it wasn't for this war, would I have been able to meet my dad?
Dad, up there in heaven...
The war still isn't over.
todokasete kono mune ni
Let your voice reach my heart

though it lingers but faintly in the air

In a world I know to be no dream

I kept wandering

Halting in your tracks and walking ahead proudly

both seemed too fearsome a choice
tojikomerareta shikakui sora no shita
Here on the board, where we are bound to

I tried to breathe softly to blend in

I swept away the weakness of the past trailing down my cheeks
hikari sasu basho he kono te wo nobasu yo
and held out my hands to the light
todokasete kono mune ni
Let your voice reach my heart
kasuka ni nokoru kimi no koe wo
though it lingers but faintly in the air

In a world I know to be no dream

I will let my feelings and my voice

reach your heart

Through days without end

I will be proud, be strong

My comrades who cling to life on this red planet!
The realization of our Utopia is upon us.
Episode 29 Grandpa's Gundam
My plan is now entering its final chapter.
The day we will plant the Vagan flag on Earth's holy soil approaches.
Now I ask you all to entrust your strength and your lives to me.
Lord Ezelcant, it's almost time to begin.
I see...
Kio!
Wendy, guys!
The mobile suit exhibition at the plaza is about to start!
I found a spot with a great view.
You're coming, right? Hurry up and get in!
I'm coming!
Coming! Coming!
Want some?
No, I'm good.
So you got your license, Revels.
Yeah. My dad bought this for me.
We're having a party today.
You're coming too, right?
Today?
Today's...
Today's your grandpa's birthday party, right?
Yeah. Sorry.
Aw, lame.
Little Kio loves his grandpa.
No, that's not it...
What?
Unidentified object within Big Ring's defense perimeter!
What?!
The comprehensive analysis system reports a 90% probability that it's a Vagan mobile fortress!
How is this possible?
How did we let something that big get so close?!
Have the mobile suits perform emergency launches!
And contact the fleets deployed nearby!
I'm reading a massive thermal signal from the enemy fortress!
What?!
Possibly a high-output beam weapon!
Did you hear that, Dorene?
The opening bells have begun to ring.
Yes, darling.
What is it? This feeling...
That's... something that belonged to your dad, right?
Huh? What is?
You didn't know, did you, Rosie?
About Kio's dad.
What was it again?
My dad was a Federation Forces pilot.
Right after I was born, he went on a mission to investigate a derelict ship.
He went missing right after that.
Did he die?
Rosie, you idiot! Have some consideration!
The military found this AGE Device during their search some time later.
What?
What's that?
What?
Look at that!
Wow, it's huge!
Let us begin.
S-Seriously?!
Hey, are they going to fight here on Earth?
It's the enemy.
That's the Vagan.
Emergency recall!
Tell the off-duty officers their vacation is canceled!
Yes, sir.
What are the mobile suits doing?!
Blanks and Dinah teams are already deployed.
Abis team is just about to launch.
Hurry it up!
Hah! Some Day of Courage this is!
I know!
On our way now.
Abis team! Shanalua, Jonathan, Odeck, David!
You ready?
I'm okay any time.
So what's going on?
Don't know.
HQ never shares the bad news with the front lines.
But you heard it, right? Peter's voice?
Peter... You mean the operator?
I haven't heard Peter sound that nervous since his wife caught him having an affair.
So I'd say the situation must be pretty serious.
Here it comes. The Holmes of the battlefield.
Anyway, this won't be like any previous mission.
Stay sharp.
Roger!
Seric Abis, Clanche Custom, heading out!
This is bad! This is really bad!
What's going to happen to us?
Wh-What's that?
My name is Ezelcant.
I represent the humans living on Mars, the independent nation of Vagan.
Listen well, Earthers!
Vagan hereby declares the beginning of its full-scale Earth invasion!
Earth invasion...?
We have reports of Vagan appearing in every military district!
It's not just in Olivernotes!
You mean there were this many Vagan hiding on Earth?
All civilians, please proceed at once
to the Alent River evacuation area.
Repeat, all civilians, please proceed at once
to the Alent River evacuation area.
Wait, Revels!
What is it?
There are kids over there.
Let's save them!
You idiot! That's impossible!
If we stick around, they'll catch up to us!
Then I'm getting out here.
What are you—
Hey! Kio!
You guys go on ahead!
Kio!
I'm getting out too!
Huh?!
Let me off!
Fine, fine!
I-I'm not responsible for whatever happens!
Kio!
It's all right now!
Kio!
Wendy!
Jeez! How do you plan to get back from there with three kids?
Will we be okay?
Um...
I'm gonna call somebody from the military!
Wait, I think I can manage this.
Now let's go. Hurry.
This way, okay?
It's fine.
You don't have to be scared if we cross together.
That was so scary!
It's okay now.
What do we do now?
For now, let's go to the evacuation area.
It's all right.
Don't worry.
Grandpa...?
What are you doing?
Get to the evacuation area at once!
These kids got left behind.
Can you take them in the car?
All civilians are supposed to be evacuated to the Alent River by now.
So the Federation Forces are just going to leave these civilian kids to die?
Corporal, this is an emergency.
Get in, quickly!
Come on, hurry.
Wendy, take care of these kids.
Kio?
There's something I have to do.
Something you have to do?
You aren't getting in?
Then I'll go with you!
These kids need you.
Kio...
Don't do anything crazy, okay?
I'm sure the Gundam would be able to fight them.
Grandpa's Gundam is the strongest mobile suit.
Kio, over here!
Grandpa Flit!
Get in, quick!
Right!
Do you know what we're going to do?
We're going to send out the Gundam.
That's right.
It's time for a savior.
Today you'll finally tell me where the Gundam's hidden, right?
Let's go, Kio!
It's got wings!
Now pull the control stick as hard as you can.
Me?
Hurry!
Okay!
We're flying!
What is this?
This?
It's the Core Fighter.
Core Fighter? But then...
You'll find out soon.
There's so many of them.
When did they sneak in here?
How awful...
Olivernotes is in shambles...
Get the Diva ready to launch!
Just do it!
The Diva's the ship you used to fly on?
Yeah.
It's an antique, but with that ship and the Gundam, we can save Olivernotes.
That's it.
The Gundam's inside that?
Get the Core Fighter closer to it.
So, now what?
Grandpa!
I'm jumping over to it!
You pilot this thing!
What? Grandpa!
W-Wait!
I can't fly this thing by myself!
Let's do this!
What's that?
The G-Cepter.
Then it's going to transform into a Gundam, right?
It's not transforming.
It's docking.
Docking?
Listen real well.
The Gundam becomes one mobile suit when the Core Fighter and G-Cepter dock.
We're going to begin docking!
But we're flying!
It's fine.
The computer will help with the precise maneuvers.
Grandpa...
It's just so sudden.
Do it!
Right!
I'll try!
Kio, set the AGE device in the right console panel.
What's this?
Then press switches 30 to 35 on the top,
and pull the lever how the monitor guidance tells you to!
Got it?
Um...
Th-The enemy!
Forget them!
Now press the G-Button on the handle!
G...
For Gundam?
Now!
Gundam!
What's that?
This is...
...the Gundam?
Yes.
The Gundam AGE-3!
Grandpa!
Stay focused, now.
The real thing starts now.
You scared, Kio?
No, I'm fine!
Kio, pilot the Gundam...
And inherit it for yourself!
I will... pilot the Gundam!
Here they are!
Kio! Dodge!
Huh? I did it!
But how could I pilot it?
The Gundam works just like the MS Battle Simulator I had you play.
That's why you know how to pilot it.
That wasn't just a game?
You were preparing me for this...
It's coming!
The beam saber!
Don't let it get away!
Yeah!
This is a new weapon that uses the Diva's photon blaster cannon technology.
The SigMaxiss rifle!
Wow...
Kio!
A gunner type!
I've fought them in the game too!
It's loaded with lots of ammunition.
If you blow it up...
I get it!
That's...
The Gundam!
It evolved again?
I did it!
Kio!
Well done, Kio.
From now on, you're the pilot of the Gundam.
I am...?
Nice to meet you, Gundam.
Gundam.
So we're opponents yet again?
Kio, be careful!
He's coming in from above!

I devote my life to the brilliant hopes I have,

The red fires that showed within your unbelievably gentle eyes

the tears of the past will guide me through a future

Next Time
Once again, the ship sets sail from a city engulfed in flames.
Will its blazing counterattack open the way to the future?
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"The City Becomes a Battlefield."
The City Becomes a Battlefield
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Vagan Sleeper Agents
Were you able to get this month's present? Check your official HP for next month's present!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
For a long time, Vagan has been sending sleeper agents to Earth.
It's been in preparation to simultaneously start a mass uprising.
Because it was an attack from within,
in just one night, the Earth is no longer under the sole control of the Earth Federation.
Look Forward To Next Time!
