Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (機動戦士ガンダムZZ)

Space. It has become mankind's second home.

When mankind's burgeoning population surpassed the Earth's carrying capacity,

...mankind traveled to space, and constructed settlements on this new frontier:

Space colonies.

With the completion of the first colony, which was capable of housing forty million civilians,

...the Universal Century had begun.

Prelude to

SPACE COLONY

Space colonies are self-sufficient environments that produce gravity...

...via the rotation of the colony's inner walls, on which the colony's population lives.

Three large mirrors reflect sunlight into the colony

allowing for the sustenation of lakes, forests, and other natural environments.

This is also the basis for the colonies' artificial weather control.

The development of such remarkable technological feats was allowed...

...by the development of reinforced space suits and general purpose robots.

REINFORCED SPACESUIT

GENERAL PURPOSE ROBOT

From this came the development of mobile suits.

Mobile suits became the key indicator of progress in the Universal Century.

ZAKU MS-06F

When radar technology was rendered obsolete due to the use of Minovsky particles...

...mobile suits became an essential tool in warfare.

Once it became clear that one mobile suit's abilities in battle was comparable to that of an entire battleship

mankind's fighting spirit truly emerged.

THE PRINCIPALITY OF ZEON

Universal Century 0079.

The cluster of space colonies known as Side 3 developed the first military-use mobile suit: the Zaku.

Calling themselves the Principality of Zeon, they declared independence from the Earth Federation.

The first war to pit Earth against space had begun.

My people! My people, take your sorrow and turn it to anger, and rise!

Never forget that we, the citizens of Zeon, are the chosen!

We, the superior race, shall save mankind!

SIEG ZEON!

SIEG ZEON! SIEG ZEON!

In the ensuing conflict, a colony was dropped.

This operation resulted in the loss of over ten million lives.

Amuro Ray.

GUNDAM RX-78

This boy coincidentally became the pilot of the Federation's prototype Gundam mobile suit.

After several battles, he became a soldier of unrivaled skill.

It's just like the manual!

Whoa! Its energy output is five times above normal!

Let's see what it can do!

The Gundam, which came to be known as the "White Mobile Suit," compiled a terrifying battle record.

It was not long before Amuro Ray awakened as a Newtype.

Some believed this awakening could lead to the evolution of mankind.

But this idea was doomed to fail.

Once more, humanity fought.

TITANS SPACE FORTRESS GRYPS 2

Jamitov Hymem established the Titans, an elite military force, to centralize the Earth Federation's power.

However, the oppressive Titans proved to be even more vicious and malevolent than the Principality of Zeon.

Opposing the Titans was the A.E.U.G., led by the infamous "Red Comet," former Zeon commander and ace pilot Char Aznable.

A.E.U.G. ASSAULT CRUISER ARGAMA

The time has come for humanity to leave Mother Earth.

Yet there are those who continue to insist on making war and bending others to their will!

People may never come to truly understand one another.

I believe in you. Camille will come to help us, just as Amuro once did.

Many lost their lives in that time of conflict, as families were forced to turn against each other.

The Argama's crew, physically and mentally exhausted after their mission to destroy Gryps 2,

has returned to Side 1 for repairs.

Log entry 0301.

Scirocco has been defeated and the Jupitris fleet has been wiped out, but at a terrible cost.

Char Aznable, the A.E.U.G.'s leader, is MIA.

Furthermore, Camille is in poor condition.

We must hurry and reach Side 1 to weather the damage before everyone reaches their breaking point.

So this is where you've been, Fa. Don't worry about Camille. Side 1 has excellent medical facilities. He'll be fine.

Thank you, Captain.

Hey, Camille... Do you remember...?

That's mine!

Shinta! Qum!

Camille!

What the...?!

Sure, we argued a lot, but you were still always so nice to me...

Even when I volunteered to fight...

Wait, Fa.

I came here to check out the mobile suits.

Of course I'm gonna pilot one!

Are you really gonna be a pilot?

Just let me do it!

I just helped you!

Fa...!

You should rest up.

Our next mission will begin soon.

But Camille, your heart was always on...

Four!

Char! Why didn't you...?

What are you saying, Amuro?

You know what I'm saying! I'm talking about those two!

- You mean that Four girl? - You know exactly what I'm talking about!

Are you just gonna sit back and let the same thing happen all over again?!

Camille! Camille!

But it's strange. I'd completely forgotten about you until a second ago.

I wonder why...

You don't like me anymore?

I've always liked you!

But it's like whenever I get into the Psyco Gundam, I become a different person...

Four!

Four, can you run?

Four?!

Four, you're...!

Who are you? You're my enemy!

I'll kill you!

Stop it!

Four!

Camille!

Hey! Open the cockpit!

Camille... is that you?

Get out of the Psyco Gundam's cockpit! Now!

Die, Camille!

Jerid!

Stay away!

Four!

It's the same...?

Prepare yourself, Char!

Lalah?

Lalah!

Lalah...!!

Why must people always repeat the same mistakes?

It's pitiful!

Four! Open your eyes!

No! This can't be true...! It can't be!

Please, Four! Open your eyes!

The tears of time are eternal.

When will the souls of those who died in battle finally be able to rest in peace?

New Mobile Suit Catalog!

Silhouette quiz, question 1: What mobile suit is this?

Hyaku Shiki!

QUATTRO BAJINA

HYAKU SHIKI MSN-00100

Correct!

Quattro Bajina!

Hyaku Shiki, launching!

But do you know who Quattro Bajina really is?

Duh! Of course I do!

The suit uses Quattro's signature gold color and has excellent combat capabilities.

It works great as a main suit to carry on the story.
