Along with the Gaw formation which launched from North America,

Captain Char carried out a surprise attack on the Earth Federation Headquarters in Jaburo.

However, thanks to a valiant effort by the Gundam

and a strong resistance by the Federation Forces, his attack was stunted.

But will Char continue his retreat?

A Tiny Line of Defense

A Tiny Line of Defense!

Point B-3, nothing out of the ordinary to report.

It's just the regularly scheduled Zeon bombing.

Roger!

In a remote dump like this, there's nothing to do but regular reports.

Don't complain.

They're flying patrols to earn their pay too.

What is it?

A scheduled enemy bombardment?

There's no need to worry.

The White Base's composition will remain as-is

and is hereby designated as the 13th Autonomous Corps of the Tianem Fleet.

I will now announce your new ranks.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Bright Noa.

Yes, sir!

Ensign Mirai Yashima.

Yes, sir!

Petty Officer First Class Sayla Mass.

Yes, sir!

Before we've even had a chance to think about it, they've made us into soldiers.

Chief Petty Officer Amuro Ray.

Y-Yes, sir!

Petty Officer Second Class Kai Shiden.

Yes, sir!

Petty Officer Second Class Hayato Kobayashi.

Yes, sir!

This is the first time I've gotten something like this since my grade school diploma.

What good will this do?

Seaman Fraw Bow.

Isn't Seaman Fraw Bow here?

No! I don't wanna!

Hey! Come back here!

Excuse me!

We're not going anywhere!

Yeah!

We're not gonna leave!

What was that all about?

Those kids refuse to go to the daycare center.

What willful children!

That's my specialty.

I'll try to talk them into it.

You can come with me.

Yes, ma'am.

Take your written orders!

Yes, sir.

Furthermore, Ryu Jose who died an honorable death in action

shall receive a special two-rank promotion.

He has been appointed Lieutenant Junior Grade.

All others killed in action have been promoted two ranks as well.

That is all.

A special two-rank promotion? Just a special two-rank promotion?!

A special two-rank promotion.

Is that all, sir?

Just a two-rank promotion?

That's all they get?

What? What are you saying?

You didn't do anything for us when we were fighting!

Now you're just handing out promotions!

The least you could give Ryu and the others is a simple thank you!

Drop it, Amuro!

Why, you little...!

Why did you dodge that, you bastard?!

If you do that again, I'll throw you into solitary!

Damn you!

You talk too much.

Getting smacked once in a while will do you some good.

All right, already.

Anyway, what happened with Kikka and the boys?

The child care officer convinced them to go with her.

She told them there were lots of things to play with.

But I wonder if those kids will ever be happy here.

Happy?

I think they'd be the same no matter where they are.

Do you really believe that?

We have to leave them here.

There's no other way.

But...

Little kids shouldn't see people killing each other.

I guess you're right.

Ready when you are, Captain Char.

Okay, let's go!

Juice! Juice!

Delicious juice!

I want some ice cream!

You guys are so childish.

Children are supposed to be childish!

That's only so you can make the grown-ups happy.

Shut up! You're mean!

Stick around here too long and you'll understand.

There's a war going on out there!

That's none of my business.

All I do is sit here and wait until my mom and dad come back.

Mommy!

Daddy!

Put a sock in it, kid!

But...

You jerk!

Fraw! I wanna go back!

Back to the ship!

Now look what you've done!

Me too!

I wanna go home too!

What's wrong, kids?

She's here!

Let's run away!

Yeah!

C'mon, Kikka! Run for it!

Wait up! Katz! Letz! Kikka!

Where are you going?!

Come back!

Can't you hear me?

Answer me!

Kikka! Katz! Letz!

What am I going to do?

Someone's coming!

Hold it! It sounds like kids.

Come on, Kikka!

Katz, you're gonna slip! Be careful!

Katz!

Those kids had me sweating bullets for a second.

Captain Char.

The Federation Forces have come this far?

Those are probably just part of it.

Do we do it, Captain?

Of course.

Ramsey, your group will plant the bombs here.

Yes, sir!

Akahana, your group and I will head for the Trojan Horse's dock.

Yes, sir!

This'll be a piece of cake!

Keep running!

If they catch us, they'll make us stay with those mean kids!

I can't go any farther!

Hang in there, Kikka!

I'm gonna rest here.

Well, if you have to.

Hey, this door is open!

Really?

Kikka, let's rest for a while in here.

Then we'll go back to the ship.

How much longer?

Five minutes should do it, sir.

Hold it! Hide!

It smells in here.

Isn't anyone here?

Look! Gundam!

Wow! Cool!

There's lots of 'em!

It's a little different from the Gundam.

Now that you mention it, they're a lot different.

Down by its foot!

By its foot?

Something moved!

You're imagining things. I can't see anything.

But it's true!

I saw something move!

It might've been a person!

A person?

If it was, that's bad news!

Let's hide!

Yeah!

I know how you feel, but it'll just make things harder on you, Fraw.

But I know I'll be fine if I can see Kikka and the boys just one last time.

Look!

It's the child care officer!

Just the people I wanted to see!

Kikka and the others ran away!

Sorry about this, kids.

I've set them to blow in 30 minutes.

Good. Let's go.

Bombs!

Sorry for the wait.

We're finally authorized.

Great! Now we can take the tour.

Kai, don't you want to check out the Gundam factory?

Yeah, just to try and get away from it all.

Lieutenant Bright! They're requesting your presence in the operations conference room.

Yes, sir.

Well, that's the military for you.

You guys go on without me.

Yes, sir.

You'd probably be more at ease now.

I did it!

Katz! Hurry!

You're a lifesaver.

Remove those bombs fast!

Okay!

Katz and Kikka, look underneath these!

Okay!

Let's see...

Any luck?

Hey! See any?

Not a single one!

If we don't find them, we're gonna get blown up!

Oh, no! What should we do?

I found one!

This is a bomb, right?

There's one here too!

Hurry up, Kikka!

Hurry!

Piece of junk!

Start up already!

Hurry up!

I'm trying, but this thing won't start up!

Do you really know how to drive this thing?

I'll figure it out!

Okay, it started!

Right, and next I pull this!

Wrong way!

That sounded like Kikka, Katz and Letz!

What are they doing down here?

We'd better go after them!

Stop the car! Katz!

Stop!

It's Amuro!

What in the world are you doing?!

The Zeons planted some bombs! We're gonna throw them away!

Bombs?!

They are bombs!

Amuro, they're telling the truth!

They're time bombs!

Where were they?

Inside the Gundam factory!

Okay, Letz, I'll take it from here.

Get into the other car.

Hurry!

Kai! Get the kids into the other car!

I'm on it!

Okay, Letz! You first!

Come on!

It's okay. Don't be afraid!

Ready? Go!

See, you're okay!

Your turn, Kikka!

Okay, next!

Hey, you did great!

Got 'em, Amuro!

Thanks, Kai!

We did it!

The White Base is in danger!

The people who planted those are probably heading for the White Base!

Sounds like Ramsey's team really brought the house down.

Ivanov, do you read me?

Yes, Captain Char!

We were unsuccessful.

Try to distract the enemy with the Acguys.

Understood.

Let's go!

It looks pretty rough up ahead!

The enemy's mobile suits have come out!

Is that...?!

Katz!

Kikka!

Letz!

Katz!

Letz!

Answer me!

Katz! Letz! Kikka!

Kikka! Where are you?

Kikka!

Artesia!

It is you!

My sweet brother Casval would never join the Zeon Forces!

Won't you resign from the Federation Forces, Artesia?

Sayla, are you there?

Answer me!

Understand?

Brother!

Sayla!

Where are you?! Kikka!

Sayla!

What was that gunshot just now?

Did you see a Zeon soldier?

What do you mean?

There was a Zeon commander on these rocks.

You didn't notice him?

I'm sorry.

Well, maybe we shouldn't go that way.

Captain Char!

Ignore them!

All hands, escape!

The mission is a failure. We're retreating right now!

Understood?

Yes, sir!

I'm heading out!

Four or five mobile suits won't get away from me!

Captain Char!

Captain! Ivanov's Acguy has been destroyed!

Don't stop!

If you stop, then you'll share his fate!

Run!

Char!

You're not getting away!

He's still coming!

He's coming!

Even though they're Acguys, he took out four of them all at once.

He's definitely gotten better at this.

An underground river.

In front of me!

That's just like Char.

He escaped while I was pinned down.

I understand how you feel,

but if they stay here, they'll be safe.

Besides, the children here are brought up with special care

since they're the future of the Federation Forces.

Even after what happened today?

Also, if you think about these kids' feelings...

You said they're the future of the Federation Forces.

These kids may grow up to live in a world where there is no Zeon or Federation Forces.

Can't you at least consider that?

These guys aren't your average kids.

They've been in dozens of firefights so far

and have been fighting alongside us the whole time.

These tiny eyes have seen a hell that you, an adult, can't even imagine.

Do you understand?

They don't want to leave us.

Right?

Right!

B-But...

You're probably right.

I'll see what I can do about the paperwork.

That's great! Isn't it great, you guys?

Isn't that great?

Now you can get back to fighting each other.

Because of the latest guerrilla attack by Char, the Earth Federation Forces

decided to expedite their operations in outer space.

The admirals have decided that the Zeons are

overestimating the potential of the White Base, therefore making it an ideal decoy.

You're saying that the 13th Autonomous Corps will specialize in decoy operations?

The White Base heads back to outer space, where an immense battlefield awaits.

Char's endless pursuit results in a ship-to-ship attack.

Will the approaching giant machine crush the mobile suit into pieces?

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "Zanzibar, In Pursuit!"

Next Time

Zanzibar, In Pursuit!

Can you survive?
