Then we'll let the god of fate decide who will face the Double X first.
Open.
lt has been decided.
This is Colrel, a test model developed by the General Staff Office.
l want you to use this.
And defeat the Gundam.
Make it's color white.
lt doesn't matter.
l want white!
Very well, Lieutenant Demar. We'll do as you say.
That's fine, then.
l will defeat the Double X.

Like it's slowly filling in the crevasses of my heart.

At the moment these frozen memories awaken...

...I just wish the future would start.

Holding onto the dream that I once saw...

...sometime in the past with both hands...

...never letting it go nor giving up...

...I want to keep believing!

Until I can hold in my hand...

The dream I saw that time in the past.

I'll never forget...the hopes that we had...
oitsuzuketeikitai kara
...I just want to continue chasing after them.
Episode 26 Don't say anything.
The independent state of Estardo was filled with joy.
Because of its victory...
...they no longer needed to fear the New Federation's airstrikes.
The crew of the Frieden, who played a major role in the operation's success...
...were praised for their assistance and treated as national guests.
Will it take much longer to repair the ship?
lt won't be long, since their people are helping us.
Are the Captain and the others with the government leaders?
- Yes. - This is the third day in a row.
After all, guys just like to talk about politics and wars.
Mechanics, too.
- Medicine isn't too bad either. - No, no, no. Ships are men's great romance.
Truthfully, though, what guys rank the highest aren't any of those, right?
What guys like the most is...
Stop it!
Sorry.
Tonya is forcing herself to act happily in order to not think about that person leaving.
Sorry, Tonya.
l can't stay on that ship.
There are too many memories there.
He probably won't forgive me.
Continue to fight?!
Our country doesn't have a future unless we make a peace treaty!
We cannot be cowards!
l want to ask the people of the Frieden to help us in the next operation.
Next operation?
We will fight until the New Federation approves our independence.
lsn't that right?
lt's...
No, we must make peace!
Prince Willis, it's your decision!
l'm getting bored.
l'm leaving.
That jerk. He doesn't realize how serious this is.
l must apologize that this discussion was not suitable for our guests.
l beg your pardon.
Convince him? Me?
Yes.
l want you to convince him to make a peace treaty.
Why me?
You stood resolute against the General.
That's why l would like to ask you.
That's...
We of Estardo are allies with Gastarl on the surface, but we're not friendly with each other.
The General is just trying to defeat the New Federation before Gastarl...
...to be a leader in this move toward independence.
Fighting for the sake of pride.
Do you understand me?
Yes, l understand you.
But l won't do it.
The old man isn't the only person l don't like.
l don't like you, either.
ln truth, how is it?
You mean...
Does this country have a future?
lt depends on him.
What is it? ls there something you want?
No, it's nothing.
Well, l wanted to ask you something.
Ask me?
Yes.
l wanted to ask you how it was when you lived back on the North American continent.
Continue your work.
Hey, Pops!
Because of your help, the repairs are going well!
Watch your mouth!
lt's OK.
Say, what do you think about making your ship stronger?
With our technology, it will be an easy job.
That's a good idea, but l need to get Jamil's permission.
l see.
Hey, old man.
l'll take that offer.
Upgrade the Air Master?
That's right.
Unfortunately, the New Federation's new models have greater performance.
Then l have a good idea.
We will provide resources and labor.
Really?
You're much like l was when l was young...
Hot tempered and straightforward.
Your praise won't lighten me up.
ln addition, ill-mannered. Much like l was.
Garrod isn't back yet.
There's still talk going on.
ls that so...?
l guess what Tonya said about what guys rank highest wasn't dependable.
Mobile suit pilots face death every day?
That's right.
But l have to do this in order to live, and the Frieden is like a home to us.
l'm jealous.
lf it were possible, l'd want to live like that.
You're joking.
You're the ruler of such a great country.
This way of life is much better.
But l don't have anyone l can truly trust.
You saw that, right?
l'm just window dressing.
l became ruler because my father was.
l don't have the power to lead these people.
l'm just a puppet that answers yes or no to what others have decided.
l know what you mean.
Others often treat me like a good for nothing kid.
You're an interesting person.
You think so?
l think l'm just normal.
Prince Willis...it is time for the meeting.
Garrod, l want to talk to you some more.
All right. l promise.
Tiffa.
You were thinking about Garrod, weren't you?
No.
You can't hide it from me.
Have you been talking to Garrod lately?
l thought so.
Can you tell?
You have the same kind of aura l have.
You know, the aura that says, "l'm lonely."
ls it about Enil?
So, they've started to move.
This operation was planned by the General Staff Office.
Code name "S."
lt stands for "sacrifice."
The objective is the independent country, Northernbell.
We are to send our entire force to take their capital.
Berude, but...
Don't you understand? This is the sacrifice.
Sacrifice?
Estardo and Gastarl have had a history of ethnic hatred of each other since the Old Federation.
That's why we just have to take Northernbell and show them how strong our force is. Then we offer a peace treaty to one of them.
l see.
We have no need to start a fire.
All we have to do is pour oil on the existing one.
What do you think of the newly reborn Air Master?
Wow, you changed the colors, too!
l've had the idea for a while.
lt became possible with the help of this country's resources.
You received help from this country?
Well, yeah. ls that a problem?
l didn't mean it that way, but...
Won't they say we have to help them in return for this?
You idiots!
That old man isn't that kind of miser!
ln addition, l feel like l understand what he's talking about.
Witz.
There's nothing wrong with fighting to gain freedom...
...Right?
lt isn't wrong...But...
What?
What do you mean something bad is going to happen?
What in the world could happen?
l don't know. But...
But?
l just have a bad feeling about what's going to happen.
Her premonition was correct.
Operation Sacrifice finally started.
The New Federation attacked Berude, the capital of Northernbell, turning the city into a war zone.
lt has begun, Brother.
Do you think the Gundam will appear?
More than likely.
He's an eccentric man.
ln the African Campaign he was called "The White Death."
He is a proven pilot.
Then we must test whether he has the power.
Yes. Fighting against a strong opponent will be a good test.
Perfectly white.
Northernbell asked its allies, Gastarl and Estardo, for help.
To answer Northernbell's request, they sent their forces.
Are the repairs finished yet?
We can't move the ship yet.
l see.
l wanted to ask for your help.
How unfortunate.
Old man. l'll go.
Really?
You've done a lot for us, and l want to test my new Air Master.
ln addition, the city has been turned into a war zone, right?
l'm grateful.
You just watch.
Roybea hasn't returned yet.
He's probably loitering about.
Our forces joined Gastarl's to go help.
About this move, Prince Willis...
Our forces are battling the New Federation in the capital of Northernbell, Berude.
What about the Frieden?
Two mobile suit pilots went:
Garrod Ran and Witz Su volunteered.
l see.
We must defend the government leaders...
...but it'll be hard with so many enemy units.
Don't complain.
What we have to do is drive the New Federation out of the city.
But l can't use the Satellite Cannon in a place like this.
As expected, he's here.
Right.
Lieutenant Demar, if you'd Please.
l want to fight one-on-one.
Can l count on you to set it up?
Roger.
He is white and beautiful, but l'll defeat him.
Almost there.
Him again?
Wait!
l got him.
Where? Where's he hiding?
What the...?!
First, the arm!
Sonuvabitch!
He dodged?
Here come those new models.
l won't lose this time!
l told you so.
Changed a little?
You're moving pretty good now.
Brother, l won't be able to hold him for long.
l shouldn't have told him that if he defeats the Gundam, he'd be promoted two ranks.
He's rushing more than l thought.
That might not be good.
lts mobility is beyond common sense for most mobile suits.
But because it's extremely lightweight, it can only hold one beam knife.
How does it feel to be destroyed by only one beam knife!?
He'll beat me if l keep fighting like this.
Our force is fighting to protect Berude, our ally in the search for justice...
l must go for his cockpit.
l only have one shot left in the rifle.
Because of his mobility...
l can't use the sabre.
What am l gonna do?
l never met an opponent this good during the African Campaign.
This is fun. Truly fun.
This is the end!
The cockpit?
What?!
You bastard!
Olba, the first one died before waking up.
We'll go back to our base.
Roger, Brother.
Running away?!
Wait, Witz!
That's...
The help from the allies was too late.
With the fall of Berude...
Northernbell surrendered unconditionally.
The Allies were forced to retreat.
lt was a total defeat.
What more could we have done?
Don't say anything.
moshimo kokoro wo
There is no justice or evil in a war.
lt's just two sides with different forms of justice fighting each other and spilling their blood.
me de miru koto ga dekita nara
Because of the fall of Northernbell...
...a new ethnic problem has surfaced.
kizutsuita itami ki ga tsuite
Garrod and others will see a cold, sad truth once again.
iyashite agetai no ni sotto
itsu kara na no sunao ni
naku no wo yamete
gaman shite ikite ru
omoidashite ne
honto wa ai sarete iru koto wo
umareta sono hi kara
lt's time to say goodbye.
Episode 27 It's time to say goodbye
