Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - Advent of the Red Comet

Message from Tianem Fleet!

"Zeon fleet no match for us!"

‐ Enemy has begun to break formation! ‐ Vanguard fleet destroyed!

Loum sector, Tianem Fleet

Remain calm! Change course and return fire!

‐ Kiel also damaged! ‐ All gunports offline!

Starboard engine section hit!

‐ Put us in front of the Valkyrie! ‐ Retvizan heavily damaged!

Vice Admiral Dozle! My ship is lost! Good luck, sir!

Iwo Jima destroyed!

Vice Admiral Dozle! Good hunting, sir!

Sieg Zeon!

I will not let your deaths be in vain!

Don't let the struggle of

your comrades be for nothing!

Spread out, then circle back around! Now hurry!

Looks like a resounding victory for the Tianem Fleet.

At this rate, there will be nothing for us to do.

Those Zeons are no‐‐

‐ Engine section hit! ‐ Heavy damage to power reactor!

Lights spotted! 3 o'clock, roughly 8km ahead!

No sign of enemy vessels!

The enemy is a mobile weapon!

Denim, use this to fire from the enemy's rear.

Slender, you provide cover for Denim.

Yes, sir!

But, Lieutenant, that means you’ll be...

I can handle the diversion on my own.

It's moving too fast!

Unable to engage!

All hands, abandon ship!

Alright, let’s try for two more.

Five Magellan‐class ships destroyed!

Enemy is a single, red, mobile suit!

Multiple high heat sources closing in from below! They’re mobile suits, sir!

Number One, battle stations! Seal all bulkheads!

Launch the fighters!

Wow, it's fast! Who is that?

‐ I couldn't see it. ‐ A red suit means it's Lt. Char.

The Ananke?

Isn’t that Revil's ship?

Leave it to me, I’ll finish her off!

All gun ports offline!

It’s fast, the bastard.

Char, you mean?

He’s moving at three times normal speed.

The guy's a veritable red comet.

There’s one round left, eh?

THE ORIGIN I

At last, it's finished!

My draft for tomorrow’s speech is done!

Read it and see what you think, Astraia. Go on!

Shh, quiet! You're shouting, dear.

You'll wake the children.

This is wrong!

It’s wrong...

Right now, this is simply a demand for greater autonomy!

That’s not what I want!

This speech is to be a declaration of war

to all who live in the Earth Sphere!

But I just can't find the words to express myself...

You're exhausted.

Why don’t you take a break?

Lie down for a while, and‐ ‐

You expect me to sleep at a time like this?

If I am asleep, how will I be able to rouse my disciples?

Astraia, I’m running out of time.

They’ll drag me away to Golgotha tomorrow to be executed.

And when they do so, I will address the world from atop my cross.

I will warn them that those sinners

who incur the wrath of Gaia

will soon be engulfed in hellfire and be annihilated!

You’re exhausted!

You need to rest, please!

Where are the children?

They’re sleeping. It's the middle of the night!

No! You can’t!

Don't disturb the children!

Who is it...? Daddy?

I’m...so sleepy...

Your beard is scratchy.

Good night, Daddy...

Good night, Artesia.

My sweet, sweet baby girl.

Good night. Good night...

Blue‐Eyed Casval

Side 3

Autonomous Republic of Munzo

Chairman Zeon Zum Deikun's

address is about to begin.

Will he declare independence from the Federation?

We wait in anticipation. The eyes of the world are on him.

Stay behind the line!

What’s wrong, is Daddy sick?

Don't worry, Artesia.

It's nothing. Everything’s gonna be just fine.

Deikun! Deikun! Deikun!

Deikun! Deikun! Deikun!

Nooooooo!

Deikun! Deikun! Deikun!

Send out the Chairman!

Where's Deikun?!

Don't put up with the Federation's tyranny!

How can you turn a blind eye to our suffering?!

Let us hear the Chairman's speech!

We want freedom!

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but the Chairman had a heart attack.

The medical staff did all they could, but it was too late.

Before he passed on, his final words to me were:

“Please look after Astraia and the children.”

Should you require anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask.

And since I am Deikun's oldest comrade,

I, Degwin Zabi, place my family at your service.

It is most reassuring to hear such kind words. I am grateful to the Zabi.

Deikun has been assassinated!

He was murdered!

By the Federation!

The Federation is Deikun's enemy!

The Federation security force has been mobilized!

The streets around the capitol are packed with protesters,

and there is no way for us to leave!

Lady Astraia, may have a word with you?

You must not trust Degwin Zabi!

Zabi loyalists might be behind

Deikun's assassination!

Impossible!

No! I am 100% certain of it!

Protestors are rioting outside!

Why is that?!

Deikun's death has yet to be announced to the public!

It’s obviously because somebody leaked the news!

I’d wager Degwin’s second son, Sasro, had a hand in it!

Degwin has been trying to get Deikun out of the way for ages.

And so that is why he poisoned him!

Mr. Ral!

Don’t say these things in front of the children...

No! It is the children above all who must hear these things!

Your father was assassinated! Murdered by those Zabi fiends!

We must act with the utmost caution.

Firstly, we must get you to my home.

Come!

This is my son, Ramba Ral.

He will lead the way.

Please consider him your personal guard.

It would be my honor, madam!

To have the opportunity to be of service to the Deikuns!

Halt!

Emergency evacuation of the Chairman's family!

Make way!

Great! We’ll be taking the detour that’s up ahead to the left.

All the way out here, too.

You better clear the road!

Get out of our way, damnit!

Who is it? Can you see?

Wow, it's Deikun's family!

It's Astraia!

It's Casval! Artesia, too!

That is enough!

I'm going to gun you down if you don’t move!

You seem to be in a bit of trouble, aren’t you Capt. Ral?

Kycilia Zabi...

May I be of assistance?

You won't have to pay me back.

You're Miss Kycilia, aren't you?

Yes. Is everyone all right?

Yes, thank you. Goodness, you make quite the dashing figure.

Considering that I’m a woman, is that what you meant to say?

It’s a quality all Zabi’s have. Runs in the family.

So you let them slip through your fingers?!

Yes. I thought it would be childish and petty

to squabble with Ramba Ral over those three.

You allowed him to snatch Deikun's

orphaned children from under your nose!

You fool!

C’mon, Sasro!

You didn't have to hit her!

I don’t want to hear a single word out of you!

Just when my strategic leaks

was starting to make everyone think that Deikun's death

was a Federation assassination were beginning to work!

You had to go and fall for that old fool's scheme!

Then elimination is our only option.

I am referring to the doddering old fool.

Meaning what?

We deliver the final blow to the Ral family. Once and for all.

Zeon Zum Deikun.

He was embodiment of our ideals and leader of glorious Munzo.

As chairman of the Munzo Assembly,

he was a pioneer for Spacenoid liberation,

and now, as he ascends into the heavens,

he is becoming the very cornerstone of that ideal.

As we bid farewell, may his soul be at rest and inspire eternal justice.

May his ideals live forever.

Though his flesh may be no longer,

may he cast his light upon our path and show us the way to salvation.

Sieg Zeon.

Sasro, don’t you think you went too far?

What? You mean Kycilia?

Sure. You didn't really have to go and slap her, did you?

I was showing restraint!
