That bald one got ahead of me!

What is that glow?

I'll catch it!

Did something fall?

The Mysterious Mobile Suit

It is by the grace of the universe

that the land is blessed.

It is because of the sacred taboo

that people can live out their lives in eternal tranquility.

Open your hearts wide to Heaven.

For it is Heaven that bestows upon us the source of life and sustenance.

As your first practical lesson, you alone, as members of the Capital Guard can repair the Umbilical Cable.

Go over there.

Sorry.

Why did you dodge?

Yes.

You taught us that we must always respond dynamically to the situation, Captain.

What are you smiling for?

Bell skipped two grades. I'd expect no less from him.

Inspect and equip your backpacks!

Hey, there.

Congratulations!

First practical space training!

Hurray! Hurray! 1010th class!

Manny came too!

Hey.

Is that a HAROBE?

Hurray! Hurray!

Bellri.

Luin, you do your best too.

I will.

St. Flower Academy girls, get out!

Come on, girls!

Bell, do your best in training!

Go for it! Go for it!

Catch those girls!

Instructor, they're just here to cheer us on

Even you our best student, is saying that?

Have some consideration for the guys without girlfriends.

Even if you're the Operations Director's kid

that doesn’t give you any right to drag girls from Kuntala aboard.

I didn’t call them here.

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! 1010th class!

Run for the Crown's operating room!

Everyone!

Capital Guard!

Those cheerleaders have run in your direction.

Huh? Roger that.

Everyone, back to your seats. Check your equipment.

Head back and check your life support equipment!

Air and water pellets, check!

Check!

MMF functioning properly!

There's a lot of Sprites today...

Sprites?

You're not a student, are you?

Who are you?

Raraiya Monday.

Not again.

You know you're not allowed to cheer them on during practical training!

This girl is under the surveillance of the Capital Army.

Capital Army?

Surveillance? What's with that?

Don't ask! Kuntala!

You kicked her!

It's the Under Nut.

Passing through Under Nut.

The nut we just passed through is the Under Nut.

This poor nut is not counted among the 144 nuts in Capital Tower.

Does anyone know the reason?

Yes!

Torriti.

Sir.

Prior to the construction of Capital Tower,

it was an artificial satellite built to clear space debris from the UC era.

Even in low orbit, the cables and nuts move in sync with Earth's rotation. Why is that?

Hey!

Huh?

Were you not listening?

It's such a boring question...

Not again.

Regurgitate the textbook if you want, just answer!

Because of the Minovsky Magnet-ray Field,

or MMF, effect produced between the cables and nuts.

In particular...

That's enough.

What is the source of that energy?

You already know the answer.

Tell me.

The Earth's...

upper atmosphere contains an Airglow Belt, which generates energy that the cable absorbs.

That’s correct. What's our present altitude? Luin Lee!

365 kilometers.

Dynamic vision is a vital weapon when working in space!

Because radar is useless once Minovsky Particles are spread around!

Yes, sir!

Gloves on! Helmets in hand!

Don't cry!

Is this HAROBE yours?

Yes.

There's no need for a Kuntala to have one, is there.

A HAROBE for environmental testing is a necessity.

She's called Nobell.

Now listen here! You've got to stop this future husband search of yours already.

It's a tradition at Saint Flower Academy.

We've been saving to buy these tickets since we entered the academy.

What is the Capital Army?

Is it different from the Capital Guard?

We're arriving at the First Nut.

Come on, you're getting off here, right?

Our tickets are good until the next nut.

This way.

Right.

After I went to the trouble of catching her in midair...

She doesn't seem to feel a thing.

She's from Ameria or Gondwan.

She can't be from Towasanga, right?

Who cares?

I've never seen the type of Mobile Suit she came down in before

Treat her well.

Why can't we cheer for them?

Because it's a nuisance.

What's with that girl?

Pressurizing for Minovsky Flight. One, two, three. Good.

MMF Position, good. Route is clear.

You jumped down from ridiculously high,

so the oxygen deprivation was harsh, is that it?

The Captain was the one to save her, so it's little wonder he's taken an interest.

Fight! Fight!

Okay! All groups, board Rectens!

Once you have boarded and made your first movement,

switch places with the next student.

Why me?

It's in order of age, so you're first, right, Bell?

Ah! Right!

No way.

Why is the cockpit facing outside?

Practical training is a form of student hazing. What can you do?

This is training to teach the skills needed to live in space.

Yes, sir!

Hurry up and board, then make your first movement.

Yes, sir!

Those guys...

For my first movement.

Bellri, you’re slow.

Right. Raise both arms and move.

Test the full movement of both arms...

Minovsky Particles, you say?

Those aren't Capital Guard machines...

Pirates! Once Minovsky Particles are spread,

we can only use wired communications.

Pirates? The rumored space pirates?

That’s not a Recten's silhouette.

What? It's coming this way?

Nice!

Just one machine?!

That's not a pirate Mobile Suit!

What?

Students aboard the Rectens, don't move!

Let them think they're unmanned.

It's aiming its rifle at us!

Connect.

G! G!

G!

What did she say?

G...

Don't use a contact link either.

Cut your power.

But then–

Then–

Cut your camera.

Come on–

A murderer like you–

If I can't move, what's the point of having a Mobile Suit?

Who’s that girl sitting in the seat?

I have taken this Crown hostage.

I will release it in 20 minutes.

I permit you to communicate that information to Capital Tower.

And if we don't listen to you, then what?!

Use your imagination.

I won’t sever the cable or anything like that.

Is she not here?

There she is! Is that okay?

A welder is similar to a beam rifle.

There's gunpowder for operating it in an emergency.

I should be able to advance or withdraw two or three times.

Torriti's Recten got taken out!

Bridge! Check!

It caught us again!

It's coming up!

That's not Torriti.

This girl is responding to it.

Have her memories returned?

Hey! Raraiya Monday, right?

Raraiya?

These levers are for the Big Arms.

Each has three charges of gunpowder for emergency operation.

I don't know what kind of firepower they have.

Or that!

If she wants a fight...!

Stop being a pirate!

I won’t let you shoot!

Wh-What? This Recten's Big Arm...

He can't damage the cable... Where is he?

Even if you use the cable*as a shield...!

The position the enemy would never expect

will become the most advantageous position for me!

How will I do this without damaging the Crown or cable?

Like this?

The world...

...is not square!

Like this, then this right?

I'll melt your face off with this welder!

Surrender!

Why are you resorting to piracy?

What's wrong, G-Self? That's not the right response.

Whose Recten is that?

It's Bell's, don't you think?

He's being too reckless!

G!

Everyone, put on space suits.

There's no telling when we might be thrown out into the void!

Dellensen, heading out.

Who are you?

Luin Lee. From behind you.

Equipping Big Arm and Power Weld.

The Crown that descended has been occupied by pirates.

You get that, right?

Go back to the Crown!

If you leave the MMF Field, you'll be pulled down by the Earth.

That won't happen to this unit!

Accelerate!

What about the Crown that descended?

I know, but...

If we get a little scared because of a battery thief,

this will keep happening forever.

Hey, now. This is your first time doing practical training in space, right?

I've done the simulations before.

This welder can become a beam rifle.

I know that little trick.

That's the same model as the one that dropped Raraiya.

Who's Raraiya?

I'll use the Beam Saber.

What?

The SU-Cord!

There's explosives set in our backpacks.

If you resist, we will destroy your engine.

You hear me, woman?

What?

Bellri. Do you read me?

I do.

Is that you, Luin?

Cut that out! Stop it!

G!

What are you doing?

What's with this girl?

She's a prisoner. A prisoner captured by Captain Dellensen.

So she's the girl who the Capital Army brought from space?

I don't know anything about that.

Are you?

G...

This girl's in bad shape.

G...

What’s going on?

Is that the pirate?

It's here! It's here!

This girl...

Time-wise, Cahill's unit which occupied the descending Crown

should have retrieved the Photon Battery by now.

But because I get like this sometimes...

Please move to the Crown.

Your hatch conforms to international standards, right?

Don't act so familiar!

Did you say something?

No.

There was something wrong with this unit today.

Bell returns alive!

Bell returns alive!

Hey, thank you.

Good work.

The cockpit is on the upper floor.

Right.

G!

Bell!

G's...

Stop it!

She came alone, without any support,

You were planning to withdraw from here five minutes after the guys who went below.

If your Rectens hadn't gotten in the way...

Don't give me that self-serving nonsense!

You knock around my precious student, Torriti, and–

My aim is precise.

I did not cause his unit to explode.

A competent pilot would be able to return to the Crown on his own.

What?

She's not cute at all.

State your name and rank in the Amerian military.

I am not a member of the military.

Only the military uses Mobile Suits.

What's your name and rank?

Aida Rayhunton. Space Pirate.

You just stole two names and Stuck them together!

Your unit is the one that came down here a week ago, isn't it?

I invoke the right to refuse.

A pirate's in no position to demand any rights!

It's because of feelings like yours that people kill each other.

Instructor.

This pilot has shut her hatch. It won't open.

G-Self.

That unit's hatch can't be opened by anyone but me.

Thankee.

Not at all.

No way!

Don't you move.

G is...!

Ah! No!

Come on, you're all right now.

Maybe this girl and that unit...

Yeah, there's some connection between them.

G!

It's practically brand new.

Looks like it.

Pipe down!

Mr. Army Man!

Let that girl rest.

Please, do!

Come along, young lady!

Rayhunton Code.

These all conform to international standards.

Confirmed.

What?

There's some meaning to this.

Since the same pattern showed up on the monitor. In that case...

Has he got the starter on?

That's absurd!

Yes. It's based on universal standards, so it's fine.

Then let me see you move the arms and legs.

Right. I'm closing the hatch!

Don't do anything reckless.

The world never moves in a way that accommodates our likes or convenience.

Attacks from space... They call them air raids, right?

There's those. And the prisoner lady keeps crying to me.

If the Capital Guard wasn't so competent,

I think I'd have died.

On the next episode of Reconguista in G,

G-Self, Start Up!

Even if you can't bear to wait, wait!
