Here we will win our victory
and take back Mother Earth.
Zeheart.
I'm giving you full authority over Project Eden.
Kio, I'm determined to defeat the Vagan.
I'll become the savior who defeats them.
Grandpa, you're just driven by hatred!
You're no savior!
Father... consider Kio's words.
The Vagan space fortress that attacked the Earth...
Our next objective is to attack La Gramis.
Our ship is setting a course for the enemy fortress La Gramis!
What?
A Vagan colony is in the Earth sphere?
Yes. According to our intelligence division,
the enemy's main colony, known as Second Moon,
has joined the fortress La Gramis.
Why couldn't we detect it?
Unknown.
All we know is that it came from the Mars sphere in a nearly undetectable manner.
Understood.
That just means the stage is set for us to wipe out the Vagan.
We always intended this to be an all-out battle.
It's a unique chance to destroy them all at once.
This will be the major decisive battle.
Victory will be ours!

Episode 46 Space Fortress La Gramis
Men!
At last, the final battle is drawing near!
Our war with Vagan has continued for many years.
From parent to child, and generations beyond,
we have lived under the shadow of the Vagan threat.
I know this is something all of you have experienced first-hand.
And yet here we are today.
We're here because no matter how badly we were hurt, we never gave up and we continued to fight.
We've managed to make it this far. Now we must make victory ours!
La Gramis, the spearhead of the Vagan's Earth invasion,
dealt us a grave blow by destroying our command center Big Ring.
Now we must destroy that thorn in our side,
and keep Earth out of Vagan hands!
And with that victory, this war will come to an end!
Godspeed to you all!
Captain Natora.
Sir!
All stations, please carry out the operation orders!
Roger!
Kio, they've just finished fine-tuning the Gundam's new mode.
Make sure you're briefed on it before you launch.
Yeah.
Captain Natora.
Lt. Commander Seric.
It's finally time.
Yes. I'm sure we have a hard battle ahead of us, but I'm counting on you.
Yeah.
Captain!
You tensed up all of a sudden.
Pushing your hat down so far reveals that you're overextending yourself.
The fact that your tie is so tight tells me you're desperate to gain self-discipline.
You can always see right through me, huh?
It's part of my job.
When you lead a team, you learn to observe and understand the people around you.
My hands are full just taking care of myself.
The final battle is coming, but I haven't changed at all since this began.
Everybody has their anxieties.
Even me.
I've never been in a battle this big.
Nobody can be perfectly ready for such a tough situation.
But to do our duty, we must keep going forward, even if we have doubts.
But... I...
Captain Natora Einus!
Y-Yes!
You just be your own kind of captain.
Mr. Seric...
Kio!
Wendy!
Sorry.
I'll help.
Thanks.
Sure.
You must be busy getting ready for the battle too, right?
Yeah... I guess.
I don't like it either.
I have to get medical supplies ready, because a lot of people will be hurt.
I wish we wouldn't have to use those things at all.
Yeah.
But listen, Kio.
I won't stop you from going.
You're not going onto the battlefield to fight.
I'm going to end the fighting in my own way.
Come back safe, okay?
Yeah.
He's here.
You're late, Kio!
I'm sorry.
We've finished fine-tuning the new mode for the AGE-FX.
It's called the FX Burst mode!
FX Burst mode...
The FX Burst mode maximizes the AGE-FX's mobility.
Your attacks will be a bit less precise,
but if you can harness its full potential, you can defeat large forces singlehandedly.
Once you start the activation protocol from the cockpit, the AGE-FX will change into FX Burst mode.
Anyway, how you use it is up to you.
Anything you're not sure about?
No, I'm fine.
Thanks.
Kio!
Mr. Seric...
I'll go.
Kio.
Kio, I'd like to say something before we sortie.
What is it?
I want you to stop trying to save enemies when you're fighting.
I just—
That way of fighting puts you in danger!
Listen, Kio.
What you need to protect isn't the enemy.
It's yourself and your allies!
And you must defeat the enemy in order to do that.
They're certainly not playing around either.
The time has come for the final battle!
This battle is the only way for we Vagan to move forward into the future.
Whatever happens, we must forge ahead with all our power,
and grasp the new future that awaits us!
Eden will be in our hands!
We must not hesitate.
Lord Ezelcant has laid down a clear path before us!
Victory is before our eyes!
Eden is in our hands!
Lord Ezelcant!
Zanald... you must help Zeheart.
What?!
I have placed full authority over Project Eden... in Zeheart's hands.
Wha—?!
He should be able to guide everyone to the proper future.
I want you... to help Zeheart as his right-hand man.
Sir.
Zeheart...!
Originally, you were meant to be the one to inherit my place.
But while you've inherited my DNA, I couldn't give you my soul.
Zeheart is the heir to my soul.
You'll work together with Zeheart, lending him your strength as our greatest pilot.
All right, Zera?
Attention, all soldiers of the Federation Forces!
Our assault on the enemy fortress La Gramis is now beginning.
Destroy every last Vagan!
All hands to battle stations!
Kio...
do you not want to use the FX Burst mode?
I thought so.
You're against wiping them out, even though they're enemies?
Do you want to die?!
If you don't kill them, they'll kill you!
But I...
Let's go!
Everybody ready?
Yes, sir!
Don't give up, Kio.
You'll get through to him someday.
You're right, Dad.
I'll end this war in my own way.
Let's go, Gundam.
Let's protect everyone... together!
Okay, Abis team, launch!
Obright Lorain, Genoace O Custom, launching!
Jonathan Gistabe, Clanche, heading out!
Derek Jacklow, Clanche, launching!
Seric Abis, Clanche Custom, launching!
Kio Asuno, Gundam AGE-FX, here I go!
Let's go, men!
Yeah!
Fram, have you ever tried imagining it?
The Eden we're about to create?
Have you pictured yourself there?
Master Zeheart...
My heart is nowhere else.
If we don't make it there, all we've done will be for nothing.
I know.
You will assuredly reach Eden, Master Zeheart.
Even if it costs me my life. I swear...
Fram.
Don't forget that you're my valuable subordinate.
Yes, sir.
Being his subordinate... is good enough.
The biggest threat is the fortress's high-density energy cannon, which destroyed Big Ring.
But right now, there are Vagan ships in its line of fire.
There's no way they would fire it in that situation.
La Gramis's fortress cannon, Digmazenon.
They're probably under the impression that we can't fire it right now.
Just as planned.
Something's not right.
What's this bad feeling I'm getting?
That's strange.
Why aren't they firing at me?
Derek, what are you doing?
Something's strange about that ship!
Maybe...
Hey! Don't go off on your own!
What is it?
Derek's machine?
What's going on?
Lt. Derek is approaching the enemy ship at Bow 350 by himself.
He says the ship is firing its cannons strangely.
That's it!
The enemy fleet in the center is a decoy!
Order all units to withdraw!
Do it.
Roger.
Fire the Digmazenon cannon!
Derek!
Damn you!
Warships Faraday, Stiles, Baker, Elliot, not responding.
All mobile suits teams, come in!
Algreus!
Yes, sir!
All units, the enemy's fortress cannon will require a short time to recharge its energy.
Use this chance to charge along the cannon's firing line, where the enemy forces are thin!
Break through the center!
The Diva will lead the way!
Attack La Gramis with the photon blaster!
Okay!
Captain Natora!
Diva, full combat speed!
Let's go!
We'll be launching a frontal attack too!
How could they just...
That mobile suit is...
No, it's not Mr. Ezelcant!
I also predicted they'd attack here!
I'll shoot you down first.
Thanks, Fram.
Not at all.
Back me up.
Yes, sir.
Kio, do it now!
Activate the FX Burst mode!
Then you'll be able to take them both on!
I won't use the FX Burst mode.
Kio!
I want to protect people!
I don't want to fight to take lives!
Use the FX Burst!
You wanna die?!
I just can't do it!
I've got you.
Enemy reinforcements?
Did they misfire?
This is...
This is no misfire!
Zanald's forces?
Destroy both machines.
This place will be your grave.
Master Zeheart, please go!
I'll handle this!
Can you hold out?
Of course.
Second-wave attack force, launch!
I've been waiting for this!
Today's the day I'll settle my score with them.
Uh, this machine is still undergoing adjustments!
What?
How can that be?!
If it's not ready now, what's the point?
I-I'm sorry!
Can I take that one out?
The Gurdolin?
You can, but...
Deen Anon, Jilsbain, launching!
Godom Tyneham, Gurdolin, launching!
Kio... are you on this battlefield, too?
soba ni yorisotteru dake de
We just sat leaning against each other
sore de ii to omotteta kedo
and I felt it should just continue like that
itsuka ki ga tsuita n da
One day I realized
kimi ni sae mo yuzurenai mirai ni
that the future wouldn't show mercy, even to you
yume ga futari tsunaide
Dreams connected us
soshite yume ga futari wo ima toozaketa no
and dreams now keep us apart
wasurenai yo wasurenai yo hitotsu nokorazu
I will never, ever forget any of it,
kimi ga oshietekureta uta mo
not even the song you taught me
meguru kisetsu kurikaeshite itsuka namida ga
The seasons pass, and one day
tsuyosa ni kawatteku sono hi made kitto
the tears I already shed will be my strength
nakanai de aruiteku kono mama
Until that day, I will shed tears no more
Next Time
As Kio suffers on the battlefield, the Gundam uses its new power.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Blue Planet, Falling Lives."
Blue Planet, Falling Lives
Three destinies will form history...
Look Forward To Next Time!
