Karen!
Point Charlie, sighted and locked!
Michel! Aim well!
Aye, sir.
Raise output on beam weaponry.
Here it comes!
I'm not going to die!
Passing point Alpha! I only see the monster.
Raise the balloons!
Michel!
MICHEL!!!
Let go of me! Do you want to get k*lled?!
That voice... It can't be!
COMMANDER!
God dammit! I lost it!
It can't be... Shiro... Where did he go?!
SHIRO!!!
Encodergasm Presents
(...as remastered as you'll ever get it)
Universal Century .
The w*r begun by the Duchy of Zeon in their bid...
... for independence from the Earth Federation...
... had entered a new phase thanks to...
... the recently fought Operation Odessa.
Amidst all that, I had gone to the Federal Forces Kojima base...
... in the Asian sector for data on a new Zeon mobile armor.
Commander Miller. I've brought Ensign Shiro Amada for you.
I can see why Commander Kojima's complained so much.
Recovering this thing must have taken a helluva lot of work.
I'm Alice Miller. Intelligence division.
Shiro Amada.
Jacob!
What do you think you're doing?
Get him out of those! You're insulting the ensign!
B- But, ma'am...
JACOB!
Yes, ma'am!
Do you take it black?
Yeah... Thank you.
So, ten days ago, you encountered this mobile armor...
...at the testing grounds in area --.
And then, during the battle, you vanished before the eyes...
...of the other members of the th Team.
hours later, a distress signal was sent out.
hours after that, you were recovered safely...
...in the mountains in area --.
Right.
However, we've spotted a few questionable things...
...in what supposedly happened in that time.
The result being that you're now suspected of being a spy.
They think you wanted to hand over...
...a highly classified Gundam from the very start...
...and deliberately contacted that mobile armor.
You successfully vanished from your team during a chaotic battle...
...but then an unexpected accident occurred while you were en route...
...forcing you down into area --. You called for help.
But then a Federal Forces rescue team...
...showed up at the same time as the Zeon.
They were forced to self- destruct the new mobile armor.
And, in the end, you were abandoned by the enemy...
...to be rescued by our forces.
Or that's the line of reasoning the higher-ups are following.
Ridiculous!
I completely agree.
They're letting their imaginations run away with them.
However, it's not so easy to change their minds.
That's why I want your cooperation.
Cooperation?
Won't you tell me? What really happened?
So you can prove your innocence.
My... innocence...
Now tell me.
The truth.
What really happened on that day in area --?
I was... We were... trapped in a blizzard.
"We"?
You mean with the Zeon pilot?
Yeah.
And it was a woman, right?
Yeah...
A woman named Aina. Aina Sahalin.
How do you know that?
Your teammates told me. So, who is Aina Sahalin?
Hey, you!
God dammit!
All this is doing is using up my air!
What have I got to lose now?!
I will not be a prisoner of the Federal Forces.
sh**t me now.
C'mon. Can you stand up?
Don't touch me!
- Is it deep? - It's just a scratch!
Here.
Christ...
What did I do to deserve this?
Why are you helping me?
I don't know, either!
But nobody's an "ally" or an "enemy" in this situation!
I'm going down there.
For what?
Well, to fight, of course.
But, I think, if I go there, I'll learn something.
Who I am and what I'm capable of.
So there's no way I can die here!
You're...
You're not how I pictured a Feddie soldier would be.
I envy you.
Envy me?
Those are Zeon suits!
Let's go!
I don't want to be a prisoner.
But, if you stay here...! I can't just let you die!
I'll be rescued, too.
But...!
Get going!
My name is Aina Sahalin!
Aina? My name's Shiro Amada.
Goodbye, Shiro.
Who would have thought we'd meet again like that?
Coincidence. Or maybe fate?
For the two of you to meet again in battle like that?
We happened to be on the same b*ttlefield.
She was the pilot of that prototype mobile armor we were after...
It can't...!
Can Aina be the pilot of this monster?
I've gotta make sure!
Aina! Aina Sahalin! Do you read me?!
Aina, I know it's you! Answer me!
This is... Anti-personnel weaponry.
Is the pilot not using it because it's Aina in there?
Or is it because they're dead?
Aina! Aina Sahalin, right?!
Don't you remember?! It's me, Shiro Amada!
If you're alive, then answer me!
It really is! It really is Shiro Amada!
So, you remember me. I'm glad you're okay.
I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
Same here.
We may have been fighting each other up till now...
...but unless we work together, we're not going to survive.
I can't maintain equilibrium!
Shiro, do you read me?!
At this rate, we're both going to die! Please!
No! Live or die, we're doing it together!
You are so...!
Besides... There's still hope!
C'MON!!!
... ... ... ... Do I have enough propellant?!
Not yet!
That's enough! Save yourself!
Not yet!
It's hopeless!
Are we all right...?
SHIRO!!!!
It's no use...
I'm so tired...
ZEON!!!
Shiro!
Your hands are frostbitten. Please try not to use them.
I wish we could heat up some water and warm them up slowly.
I... I'm sorry. I...
Shiro?
Please come inside the snow cave.
What happened before... Don't worry about it!
I... I hate the Zeon!
But ever since that day we met in space...
...I haven't been able to forget about you.
Even though you're Zeon.
Even though you've got a boyfriend.
A boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend.
And even though you're a Feddie, my answer is...
Aina...
Okay, do it!
Whew! Even at the lowest setting, this thing really packs a wallop!
Using a beam w*apon to heat the water...
You really get some strange ideas!
My hands are all pins and needles.
Hang in there. That means your blood is starting to flow again.
My feet are going numb.
Say, you want in on the bath here?
You can look now.
Whew! My heart is b*ating so fast!
So is mine.
I wish we could just be the last man and woman in the world...
Someday... We'll meet again.
Why?
There's no reason to fight!
Have sighted enemy prototype!
This is the w*r we're fighting...
STOP IT!!!
Are you trying to k*ll yourself?!
Aina, tell me!
If this is w*r, is there no hope at all for US?!
I see.
But was that the right decision to make?
If you'd k*lled her, we could have recovered the mobile armor intact.
Even so, I...!
You chose not to do so.
Well, either way, your situation isn't that good.
You see, you let an enemy right in front of you...
...escape not once but twice.
I just... I just wanted to avoid any unnecessary deaths.
No, that's not true.
You're in love. With that woman.
That's right... I'm in love with her.
So, assuming all that was the truth...
...what's the best way for me to write it in my report?
Now then, we will begin this inquiry...
... into the conduct of Ensign Shiro Amada.
You are suspected ofbeing a spy!
Looks like the inquiry's started.
Yeah, I know.
I guess because you can't go anywhere now...
...without hearing rumors about our commander.
That intel spook questioned me again yesterday.
They debriefed me, too.
God, what are the higher-ups thinking?!
Well, it's hard to believe. That the commander's a spy...
You little...! What do you mean by that?!
Don't tell me you actually bought that load of crap!
The commander...
The commander's always honest to himself!
That time in space, when I was cornered by the enemy...
...he put himself in danger to save me!
That's not the sort of thing an enemy spy would do!
Y- Yeah, that's right! Don't you think so, too, Karen?
I'm not as in love with that newbie as Sanders is.
Still, there's that stuff he always says...
"Come back alive."
"I'll do what it takes to keep you alive!" you mean?
It's a happy man who can not only...
...say something that naive but actually live by it as well.
I think being a spy would be too hard for a guy like that.
Y- Yeah, exactly! It's crazy to suspect the commander!
No matter what happens, I'll believe in him!
Getting carried away, are we?
Besides that... When she hears what's happened to the commander...
Poor Kiki will be so upset...
Oh, that guerilla girl, huh?
She's really fallen for him, too. I feel sorta sorry for her.
Hm? Why's that?
Well, the Zeon pilot who helped him on the mountain was named Aina.
That's a woman's name, right?
What did you say?
That's news to me.
Who told you that?
Huh? Didn't you hear it during the battle in the testing grounds?
Did you tell anyone about that?!
Don't tell anyone! At all!
Because if you DO tell anyone...
You're dead!
C- C'mon, Karen. I didn't MEAN to tell them, but...
Even though we are divided into "enemy" and "ally"...
...there are good people on both sides.
We can understand each other!
And for me, knowing that amidst the stupidity of this w*r...
...is the one thing that gives me hope!
Ensign, may I ask you one question?
Feeling as you do, can you still fire at the enemy?
I think...
I think...
I think I still don't know.
This inquiry is concluded.
Ensign Shiro Amada, pending the decision of this tribunal...
... you are confined to quarters. These proceedings are now closed!
I really enjoyed that little sermon you gave before!
"We can understand each other."
There was once another person who said that.
What do you think happened to them?
They took pity on the enemy, let the enemy take advantage of them...
...and before they knew it, they ended up dead.
Soldiers on the b*ttlefield are all like that.
Is that a warning?
Don't put your faith in that enemy woman.
Using women is a common Zeon trick.
You're infected.
Infected by a disease common to newbies like you.
Amateurs. Trying to camouflage themselves? Dell!
Yeah?
We're going to move into...
... that village up there to get some food.
You take the new guy and swing around from the bridge.
You understand, Arth? We're not here to cause trouble.
Quit showing off how smart you are and get us something to eat!
Commander...
You clear on this? No k*lling!
Clear as crystal!
Don't.
Not yet.
You can't come into the fields!
Why's she wasting so much time on this two-bit village?!
I'll help 'em make up their minds...
Whoops!
Arth!
Sorry! We didn't mean to cause any trouble.
We were just hoping you'd share some food with us.
Well, then, keep that monster of yours back!
You coulda just said so to start with!
We're on the run. Trust doesn't come easy.
Hmpf! Well, we don't have much to share...
WE'VE got the mobile suits.
Why are we letting these guys insult us?
God, can you believe this rain?
Hey, Pops! Vodka! Bring the whole bottle here!
And forget the ice. The weather's too cold for that.
So, your commander's a Zeek spy.
Must be tough for the th Team right now.
The commander... wouldn't do something like that.
Well, it's gotten you some free time.
You can enjoy yourselves all afternoon in the bar.
You've got nothing to complain about.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Relax, friend.
I'm worn out enough!
Why don't I tell you something interesting instead?
The village where your guerilla buddies are?
The Zeon are attacking it.
Kiki's village...?!
Well, did they fight?! Is Kiki okay?!
I don't know any details.
The underground sonar just told us that they're there.
You mean... Why isn't anyone checking it out?!
I reported it. They'll order someone out if they need to.
Someone besides YOU GUYS.
Thanks for your valuable information.
Here's a drink for you, my treat.
I'll tell the commander!
It looks like Commander Kojima doesn't think...
...it's worth sending anyone out.
He said...
Protecting the guerillas wasn't our responsibility.
I figured telling you about it...
...while you're under confinement would be tough on you, but...
But I prefer that to not knowing about it.
You understand, don't you? You could all be court-martialed.
Court-martialed?!
We won't get ex*cuted, right?
We can't just abandon friends.
I have to pay them back for those great sandwiches they brought us.
Well, I just want to go help Kiki!
All right, as your team leader, I order you!
th Team, move out!
Aye, sir!
Not so fast!
If you three obey his order...
...the newbie here will take all the blame.
But...
So I suggest you use THIS!
An orders form!
With Kojima's signature on it?!
I'll let you have it real cheap!
Let's go!
Listen, kid!
You can't just keep going head-on against the world.
There are times you need to use the backdoors to get public support.
I'm sorry, Old Man...
That's a step I'm not ready to take yet.
Typical newbie. Put it on my tab.
We'll pay you back for this.
We owe you.
Nothing but trouble...
You'll never be good soldiers...
If we're going up against mobile suits...
... why are we waiting so far from the village?
Dunno.
The commander must have some kind of plan.
Well, we'll see how clever he is.
Can you do that? You just have anti-t*nk weapons.
Pilots know how pilots fight.
Thanks. Once you secure the comm line here...
...stand by in the hovertruck.
Commander! It's about the inquiry...
Look... This isn't worth k*lling yourself over.
Please, give the order you always give!
About everyone coming back in one piece.
Here's your food!
She's a little young, but beggars can't be choosers.
Arth! Stop it!
You wouldn't sh**t me.
I'll say you were k*lled in action.
All right, I'll put her down.
I'll just take my food, first.
You son of a...!
- Miss Kiki! - No, don't!
We can't risk turning the village into a b*ttlefield just for revenge!
Wait for our chance!
Serves her right!
You're dead.
It's begun!
Dammit...!
Is this maximum magnification? God dammit...
That idiot! It was too soon!
Now we can't let the others go!
They're guerillas!
Oh, we picked a fine place to stop for a meal!
Dell! No point staying now! Let's get out ofhere!
Roger! Is Arth?
Forget him! I'll cover you! Can you jump?
Yeah! I should be able to manage one!
You're not gettin' away!
Behind me?!
Dammit! They're not gonna let us escape!
Are you okay?!
Shiro... You're alive...
Where am I?!
In danger. Can you move?
The cyclops?! What happened?!
My house...!
Dad... Daddy!!!
What's wrong with them?!
If they don't let us go, their village'll become a b*ttlefield!
You're not getting away!
Get the women and children out of the village!
Anyone who can fight, drive them towards the river!
The river?! Do you WANT them to get away?!
At this rate, the village'll be destroyed!
It doesn't matter, as long as we pay them back!
Those enemy pilots are desperate to stay alive, too!
What the hell does a Fed newbie know about this?!
We won't stop till they're all dead!
Kiki, do you feel the same way?
I want to get them back for my dad!
Yeah! Fight them! k*ll 'em all! Smash the enemy!
Look, maybe this is "youthful idealism"...
...but I want to save those guys in the Zakus, too!
What the hell is he babbling about?
Shiro...
Karen! Sanders! Stand by with the beam r*fles!
FI RE!!!
Commander!
Beam weaponry...?!
Sanders, correct . degrees to the right!
There's no reason to fight anymore!
Surrender! We'll let you live!
They got Dell, too...?
Those idiot guerillas...!
Surrender!
Stop it! Don't!
Anti-personnel weapons!
Get back!
That's enough...!
I'll finish you!
STOP THIS, PLEASE!!!
Can you still fire at the enemy?
Forging orders and going out on an att*ck while under house arrest...
There's no way we're going to avoid a court-martial now.
I admit that I disobeyed orders, sir. However...
I am convinced that our att*ck was justified!
You little...!
Very well.
The fact remains that you did wipe out that enemy team.
We have to take that into account.
And for that... I'm giving you...
All of you in the th Team, a chance to redeem yourselves.
I want you to be airdropped...
...behind enemy lines to find their base for us.
This is a vital mission which may decide...
...whether we win or lose in the coming showdown. However...
...it is also an extremely dangerous mission.
In fact, they tell me your chances of coming back alive from it...
...are only %.
A commander who cares about his people...
...might not accept this mission.
However, if you refuse these orders...
...there's a f*ring squad waiting for all of you.
Good luck!
Hey, wait!
You're just gonna leave me to die?!
Accept it gracefully!
I can spend your song's royalties for you!
- Take care now! - See ya!
YOU BASTARDS! HEY!
Christ, you're pathetic.
Eledore! Welcome back!
Uh... Hi!
So, how was life in the hospital?
It SUCKED is what it was!
The whole hospital was talking about those rumors.
Of how the commander's a spy.
Not just that. Is it true you guys were his accomplices...
...and pulled some major crap, too?
Sort of.
Well, thanks to that, they shipped me back to the front line...
...right after I was released!
You're the last people I want to be with right now!
Yeah, these new orders we got aren't really fair, are they?
Well, I prefer them to a f*ring squad. Right, Sanders?
Yeah...
By the way, where's Newbie?
There's the commander, over there.
L- It's her!
The intel spook!
So, you went out and destroyed...
...an enemy force against overwhelming odds.
Very skillful of you.
You're a very skillful Federal Forces officer.
You did the right thing.
And as a result, you avoided execution.
So why are you so upset about it?
It seems to me you have a few misconceptions about this w*r.
The "reformation of humanity" and "government for the Spacenoids"...
This " independence from the Federation"...It's all just a sham!
The Zeon are the worst t*rrorists in history!
Just animals in human skins!
Yeah, and I think k*lling as many of them as possible...
...will put us one step closer to purifying the human race!
My thoughts haven't changed.
As I thought...
You're Zeon, aren't you?!
Go on! Admit it!
Well, too bad.
I'll just have to sh**t.
If you're a Federation officer, then you can swear it to me now!
That you'll k*ll every Zeon that you can!
I can't!
I'll fight the way I have to fight.
Until this w*r is over...
What you said...
The person who was betrayed by the enemy they felt sorry for...
It was you, wasn't it?
I told you before. She d*ed a long time ago.
Commander!
Everyone, listen to me.
You already know how dangerous this mission is going to be.
But we aren't just a bunch of K*llers!
The enemy are still people.
So, while we do our duty, try to minimize the number of victims.
And come back alive!
That order always comes first and will never change!
Wait!
You're lucky. I missed.
I'm going to prove it to you.
That my way of thinking isn't wrong.
Ensign, your determination is admirable...
...but the enemy you face is now the entire world.
th Team, move out!
After everything that's happened...
...is the sadness finally behind us now?
In that glance that we shared...
...feelings began to overflow.
The fragments and the miracles...
I want them all engraved within me!
I want to embrace them all!
It's deeper than love, more painful than tears.
Because I feel you in my heart now.
These endless dreams I have...
...and these feelings I can't give up.
As I look at you, I believe in them!
I'll be here at your side!
Up into the stars we see overhead...
...flies my wish for the future you've described!
A glance can be the doorway to eternity...
...when that something we share becomes the strength we need!
The things that hurt us and the endless tears, too.
They're nothing to regret, so don't hesitate to embrace them all!
It's deeper than love, more painful than tears.
Because I feel you in my heart now.
These endless dreams I have...
...and these feelings I can't give up.
As I look at you, I believe in them!
I'll be here at your side!
