My name is Ezelcant.
Vagan hereby declares the beginning of its full-scale Earth invasion!
Wendy,
take care of these kids.
Kio?
There's something I have to do.
Kio, over here!
Grandpa Flit!
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.
Gundam!
This is... the Gundam?
Gundam.
So we're opponents yet again?
Kio, be careful!
He's coming in from above!
The Mars settlement plan.
The people left behind in the Mars Sphere in the wake of its failure
formed the independent nation of Vagan,
and launched a war against the Earth Federation government.
70 years have already passed
since the conflict began.

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

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

In a world I know to be no dream

I will let my feelings and my voice

Grandpa!
This one's totally different from the other mobile suits!
Yes. Don't let your guard down!
This feeling...
Is that Flit Asuno in the cockpit?
But the other one is...
Kio!
Once the Diva's here, the situation will change!
For now, just focus on hanging on!
Episode 30 The City Becomes a Battlefield
Mr. David!
The Earth is our planet!
The Federation will never give up!
David!
Odeck! Get a grip!
You reptilian bastards!
Olivernotes is still under attack.
Other cities are continuing to take damage.
Communications link with HQ has been restored!
Video incoming!
It was lucky we were here,
Admiral Algreus.
Lucky?
What's lucky about any of this?
Everyone!
Starting now, Federation Forces headquarters will be here at Rostroulan!
We mustn't let Vagan...
We mustn't let Ezelcant achieve his goal!
Admiral Algreus.
It's from Olivernotes, Act 3.
Admiral,
I'm relaying this message just in case.
We received a message from former Commander-in-Chief Flit Asuno.
From the former Commander-in-Chief?
Yes. He asked us to get the Diva out of storage.
Despite his former position, he no longer has the authority to give orders to the military.
I intend to refuse his request.
Send it out now!
But...!
Send out the Diva.
Former Commander-in-Chief Asuno has a plan.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Odeck's cockpit is too damaged to open.
Get him out of there now!
Damn it!
They're giving priority to a retiree's orders,
instead of trusting the judgment of people in the field?
That ship's obsolete.
Sending it out now won't do a thing!
Above all, where am I supposed to find an entire battleship crew
in the middle of this emergency?
Right now, only the troublemakers would be available...
Perfect for that ship!
What about pilots?
All we have now is the Abis team...
That's fine. Central Command is responsible either way.
Now for the captain...
This person would make an interesting choice.
Who's that?
Can't you guess?
Someone who's only been promoted thanks to their family's reputation.
There it is!
Okay.
You'll be all better soon.
Thanks, Miss Wendy!
I'm back.
Ms. Natora.
Hey, where are our parents?
I'm having them search the evacuation area.
It'll be okay.
I think...
You think?
It will for sure!
Let's play with this while you wait.
Hey, can we go see the mobile suits instead?
Um...
I'd rather do this...
Natora Einus.
The Commander's calling you.
Come with me.
Okay...
I-I-I... I'm the Diva's captain!?
Yes. You can do it.
I'm still just a lieutenant!
My rank isn't high enou—
You're getting a battlefield promotion.
As of today, you're a lieutenant commander.
You've taken the warship command training course, right?
Though you haven't had any practical training yet.
But I've never been stationed outside the base—
I know all that!
But that's the situation we're in.
We need young blood like you.
You're Vice Admiral Einus's granddaughter, right?
Of course you can do it.
Are you sure about this?
It's fine.
Now it's the perfect ship for former Commander-in-Chief Asuno.
I'm... a captain?
Then I'll have to do my best!
Captain.
Captain!
Huh? Yes!
You're the captain of the Diva, right?
Y-Yes.
I'm Natora Einus!
I'm your mobile suit-team leader, Seric Abis.
We've already been ordered to sortie.
Please hurry!
Right.
You've just been chosen as a captain, but you're lacking self confidence, right?
Y-Yes...
Your crooked hat shows you're not used to the captain's uniform.
Your scarf's too tight. That shows you're trying to hide your lack of confidence.
We're counting on you. We're all risking our lives here.
R-Reporting for duty!
Reporting for duty...
When you enter the bridge, Captain,
you don't need to report in.
Oh... right.
Ms. Ally's kind of tough.
I don't think it's a bad thing.
Hey, Wong!
If you want to say something, say it out loud!
Right, Ethan?
More importantly, what about my empty stomach?
That's mine!
What?
They finally made it here!
Captain.
We're ready to launch.
Captain?
Captain!
Then launch!
Please launch us!
Pull back, Kio!
Let's finish this here.
Fa Zeos!
Grandpa...
The Vagan aren't human! They take lives so easily!
It's so...!
Is this really Olivernotes...?
Diva!
This is Flit Asuno in the Gundam!
Pleased to meet you! I'm Natora Einus—
You understand, right?
You're the key to our counterattack!
W-We're...
You understand, right?
You're the key to our counterattack!
We're the key to the counterattack?
Give us your orders, already!
The Abis team is waiting for your orders!
Oh, right!
Okay, anybody who can fight, please do!
If this is how our captain is, we're in for a rough ride.
The two mobile suits in maintenance are ready to sortie.
Roger that.
Derek, Mr. Obright, you ready?
'Course I am! I'm gonna crush them!
I feel no fear.
We'll turn things around with the Diva!
Abis team is launching!
Diva, are you ready?
We're taking out the enemy mothership!
When you say take out the mothership...
Do you mean firing the photon blaster—
Idiot!
That's too powerful to use in the atmosphere!
Send out the Gundam's new weapon!
New weapon?
You fool!
You haven't activated the AGE system?!
I-I'm sorry!
The AGE System's already online.
This is Rody Madorna.
Former Commander-in-Chief Asuno, you asked for the Diva because of the AGE system, right?
Of course!
I've been trying it for a while, but it keeps giving me errors.
It looks like there isn't enough combat data to make a new weapon.
I don't care! Do it anyway!
Set the inferential design system warning level below 30. Force it to make something!
But we don't know what it'll—
Listen, just do it!
Only a new weapon can get us out this situation!
If we had a new weapon, we could shoot down their mothership, right?
In the end, it's all up to you.
Hold on until it's ready!
Right!
It's okay! We can keep going!
Gundam, make way!
Thank you very much!
No need for thanks.
From now on, the Gundam is under my command.
What are you saying?
We'll be making our own decisions!
I'm Flit Asuno!
But you're a retiree!
And in this situation, we have to work together.
If you get in my way,
I'll shoot down both of you!
I'll get behind it!
Right!
Are you okay?
Isn't the new weapon finished yet?
Just a little more!
All right, it's done!
It's just an attachment that significantly increases the output of the SigMaxiss rifle,
but it looks pretty dangerous!
That's fine!
Got it!
It takes time to charge, so be careful!
Weapon code: Blustia Cannon.
You could call it a miniature photon ring ray.
The energy accumulated inside the attachment will be shot out through the rifle's beam!
Charge the power!
Right!
It's slow!
I won't let you!
All units, aim for the Gundam!
Surround the Gundam!
Everyone, stop their attack!
Hurry! Hurry!
Gundam... are you ready yet?
A little more...!
Just a little more...!
What's wrong, Kio?
That's right!
There!
Kio! What are you doing?!
If I'm firing it anyway...!
Impossible!
You did it, Kio!
Withdraw!
The AGE system made an amazing weapon.
But it won't be easy to use.
Former Commander-in-Chief Asuno.
I'm team leader Seric Abis.
Take care of the rest.
You did well.
Thank you very much!
Hey.
Why did you fly out of our formation?
I wasn't sure we could protect you.
Don't throw your life away, okay?
This isn't a game.
Yes, ma'am.
Um...
I-I'm the captain, Natora Einus.
The ship will be continuing on to Rostroulan, our new command center.
I see.
I'm so sorry!
Someone who can't make use of a ship's full capabilities,
has no right to be captain.
Remember this, the captain is responsible for the lives of everyone on the ship.
Yes, sir.
Kio.
Grandpa.
Can you believe in the Gundam?
Yes.
The Gundam responded when I piloted.
Hey, Grandpa...
Ezelcant is the leader of Vagan, right?
Yes.
He's an evil being. A demon who seeks to destroy humanity.
He must be defeated, no matter what.
I'll defeat him.
If that's what the Vagan are like, I'll defeat them!
With your Gundam, Grandpa...

The red fires that showed within your unbelievably gentle eyes

Once I realize that I won't have forever

the tears of the past will guide me through a future

Next Time
When the ghosts of the desert pursue the ship,
the resolve of the would-be warriors is tested.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
Terror! The Ghosts of the Desert
"Terror! The Ghosts of the Desert."
Three destines will form history...
Gundapedia Diva
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 3000 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Diva is already called "obsolete."
But it's undergone countless upgrades
and its performance is still comparable
to the state of the art ships on the front line!
Its powerful photon blaster cannon is still in good shape.
Look Forward To Next Time!
