Mobile Suit Gundam

Universal Century 0079. During the war of independence declared by the Principality of Zeon, the Earth Federation Forces have found themselves outgunned. To counter this, the Federation has developed new mobile suits and tested them at Side 7. Zeon Lieutenant Commander Char Aznable senses this and sets out on a reconnaissance mission. One of his overeager soldiers, hoping for personal glory, ...

The assault carrier White Base collects refugees rescued from the recent battle. Most of the regular military crew aboard the White Base have died or are seriously injured. The surviving youths aboard the ship are working together to escape from the colony. Meanwhile, Char seeks out the secrets of the Federation's mobile suits by personally infiltrating Side 7. A girl named Sayla Mass spots h...

Char has not given up on trying to find out more about the new mobile suits, and attempts to receive reinforcements from a Papua supply ship. But on the White Base, officer cadet Bright Noa decides this is a chance for a counterstrike, and sends out the Gundam and Core Fighter. With skill far beyond that of a novice, Amuro successfully guides the surprise attack.

The White Base has arrived at Luna II. But what waits for Bright and Amuro is severe punishment from Commandant Wakkein. The youths who have intruded upon the Federation's most guarded secrets are incarcerated in jail, and the Gundam is locked down. Meanwhile, Char and his team carry out a plan to infiltrate Luna II in normal suits.

The White Base heads for Jaburo, the headquarters of the Earth Federation Forces in South America, and prepares for atmospheric entry. Char commences an attack on the White Base as it descends. The battle runs long, and both sides are reaching the point of no return... Then a Zaku burns up in the atmosphere. Will the Gundam meet the same fate?

The White Base, having entered Earth's atmosphere, is attacked by the youngest member of the Zabi family, Garma Zabi, who commands a Gaw attack carrier and a formation of Dopp fighters. On top of this, Magella Attack tanks begin shelling from the ground. Bright has Amuro switch from the Guntank to the Gundam, and plots how to escape from the enemy's clever trap...

By launching a Core Fighter into a ballistic orbit and having it fly over the enemy, the White Base tries to establish direct contact with Earth Federation Forces headquarters. Meanwhile, the refugees incite a revolt, but Amuro focuses on what he must do and heads to the hangar. Char senses the Core Fighter speeding away and intercepts it with a Komusai, but...

Some of the refugees have petitioned to be dropped off on the ground. Bright uses this as an excuse to ask the Zeon forces for a temporary cease-fire. The Gunperry transporting the refugees also secretly unloads Amuro's Gundam. Kai Shiden's Guncannon then descends to the ground to lure the enemy. The Gundam attacks from the rear of the lake with a pincer movement, and Bright's brilliant strat...

Amuro lets petty annoyances get to him, and refuses to fight. Bright tries to rally Amuro, but it only incites him to rebel even more, and ends in a great argument. However, upon hearing Bright invoke the name of Char, Amuro decides to sortie, and uses the Gundam to display his astonishing tactics.

Char coolly watches Garma romance Icelina Eschonbach, daughter of the former mayor of New Yark. Upon hearing a report that the White Base is hiding within a city, Garma sets out in his Gaw attack carrier. Char volunteers to launch a ground attack with Zakus to help his friend out, but a fearsome conspiracy lies in hiding!

Icelina swears to avenge Garma, and joins the pursuit of the White Base. The Gundam and Guncannon leap onto the Gaws to attack them, but Char's Luggun recon plane bombs the White Base and causes it to lose propulsion. In the midst of this, Icelina sees the Gundam. She gathers all her bitterness over Garma's death and tries to ram the Gundam with the Gaw, but...

While the Principality of Zeon holds a magnificent state funeral for Garma, grizzled veteran Ramba Ral vows to eliminate the White Base and descends upon it with his Zanzibar mobile cruiser. Bright is unable to shake the pursuit of the Zanzibar, and forces the battle-weary Amuro into another fight. A ferocious figure appears and blocks Amuro's path...

Amuro stops by his hometown to visit his mother. To conceal himself from the surrounding Zeon soldiers, Amuro pretends to be a sick patient. Bright's emergency call to Amuro catches the attention of the soldiers. Amuro fires in self-defense, but is scolded by his mother for doing so. He continues to fight despite the immense alienation he feels, but...

The Gundam successfully diverts an attack on Lieutenant Matilda Ajan's Medea transport. But this is actually a trick by an enemy patrol unit. Approaching the Gundam in their small aerial Wappas, the enemy soldiers start attaching bombs to the Gundam. Amuro discovers their plan after his shield is destroyed, and begins the arduous task of disarming the bombs by himself, when...

As the White Base heads westward across Central Asia, it receives an order from General Revil to cross the Caspian Sea within 5 days and participate in a massive operation against M'Quve's forces. However, the salt-depleted White Base decides to detour to a salt-water lake. Ramba Ral's team sees an opportunity and draws closer. While this is happening, Sayla tries to launch in the Gundam with...

Amuro is ordered to sortie in the Gundam, but he conceitedly decides to launch with the Guntank instead. Ral's Gouf appears before him, and the difference in fighting strength gives Amuro no other option but to retreat. Amuro switches to the Gundam and tries to fight according to his simulations, but he is forced to bear personal witness to the severity of true combat...

The runaway Amuro discovers a Zeon mining base. Positive that this base is the target of Operation Odessa, Amuro decides to attack on his own with the Gundam. In response to this surprise attack, Kycilia Zabi decides to test the mobile gun platform Adzam, and launches with M'Quve. Attacked by a metallic dust leader and a radiation field, the exterior of the Gundam suddenly erupts in burning f...

When Amuro goes to a restaurant to have a meal, Ramba Ral walks in with his men. Just as Ral is starting to form a favorable impression of Amuro, Fraw Bow is captured by a sentry and brought into the room, and tensions rise. Amuro realizes the released Fraw is unknowingly being followed by the enemy, and hurries back to the White Base. Now, the one-on-one battle between the Gundam and Gouf be...

After returning to the White Base, Amuro is held in isolation. Meanwhile, with his resupply delayed, Ral switches his strategy and uses small Cui tanks and hand-to-hand guerilla warfare. Ral and his men expect their enemy to be formidable, but when they find nothing but child soldiers aboard the White Base, they cannot hide their astonishment. Within the chaos, Ral runs into Sayla, but...

After Ral's death, Crowley Hamon intends to complete their mission so that she can repay his affections. With the remains of her limited military force, she begins a "drill maneuver" to break through the weak spot in the White Base's defenses. Amuro senses the incoming suicide bomb attack. As the Gundam tries to hold back the bomb, Hamon appears behind the Gundam and takes aim with her Magell...

Bright is unable to bear the strain of overwork, and collapses with a high fever. M'Quve's forces bomb the White Base's Minovsky particle generators and ECM transmitters, rendering it defenseless. Substituting for Bright is the rookie commander Mirai Yashima, whose lack of situational awareness and experience throw the battle into great disorder and confusion.

Ensnared in M'Quve's trap, the White Base makes an emergency landing. While the worried Mirai anxiously waits for resupply, Bright formally designates her as substitute captain. Meanwhile, General Revil has just arrived at the European frontline base. Holding the White Base in high regard, he sends Matilda to repair its engines and deliver a Gundam support machine called the "G-Fighter," but....

Matilda's return to the White Base raises the crew's morale, and they take a commemorative photo. The Doms of the Black Tri-Stars, however, are approaching the White Base. Sayla is chosen to be the pilot of the G-Armor, and sorties with the Gundam despite feeling overwhelmed. But the three Doms perform their Jet Stream Attack and make sport of the Gundam!

In the middle of testing out the G-Fighter, Amuro witnesses a Federation plane taking off from Zeon territory. Amuro follows it to the mobile command ship Big Tray, and informs General Elran of the existence of a spy. The traitor general shows his true colors when he draws his gun on Amuro, but Federation soldiers restrain and arrest him. Operation Odessa is now in effect!
