Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

Hey, what should I do next, Orga?

Orga.

Hey, Mika.

Hey yourself. You're slacking off again.

Imagine if they find us again.

I know.

Is he over there, Mikazuki?

Yes.

What's up, old man?

Don't ask me that. Maruba is calling.

The president is?

I told you not to come in here.

But it's warm here all year.

Gosh.

- This engine room is top secret. - Mika, let's go.

Okay.

"MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS"

(MARS - Arbrau Territory Chryse Autonomous Region)

The Chryse Autonomous Region. (MARS - Arbrau Territory Chryse Autonomous Region)

(MARS - Arbrau Territory Chryse Autonomous Region)

We will take the representative's daughter to Earth.

We will take the representative's daughter to Earth.

We will take the representative's daughter to Earth.

And her escort...

You, the Third Group will do it.

Is the representative's daughter Kudelia Aina Bernstein?

Do you know her, Biscuit?

She's been involved in the independence movement.

Her trip to Earth this time is about the Mars independence too.

It's a noble thing.

But why let us do such a big job?

The Young Miss handpicked you guys.

What?

Whatever the case, your job is the same as always.

You brats just need to listen to what we say.

Gosh. Landmine setting drills are unbelievable.

This is bullying. It's removal drills tomorrow.

No way.

Darn, that Mikazuki.

You dodge with this timing, Mikazuki Augus?

Cool! I want to do that one day...

Why are you working so slowly?

Todo! It's your job to discipline the kids.

You brats!

Jeez.

The space rats are all excited.

Are you alright?

Yeah, I am fine.

We're going to escort the Young Miss?

She must smell so nice, right Mikazuki?

The Young Miss is human like us, so she wouldn't be any different.

Forget it, Mikazuki isn't hungry for girls.

- Takaki. - Yes, water?

No, that wound...

I'm fine. It always happens.

You know, rather than the smooth-talking employees,

the president takes note of our strength, after all.

And with this, we'll overtake the employees and be First Corps.

No matter how senile old man Maruba gets,

He views us as expendable, so he'll never think much of us.

Isn't it because the Third Group leader like you is this way...

we're still treated like this?

Stop it, Eugene.

Shut up, Biscuit. You stay quiet.

Besides, you...

A fight, Eugene?

- I don't like it. - You're gonna tear it off.

This isn't a fight, right guys?

Of course.

Sorry, Akihiro, for being so rowdy.

It always is.

(ARBRAU TERRITORY CHRYSE AUTONOMOUS GOVERNMENT)

Now then Mother, I'll be going. (ARBRAU TERRITORY CHRYSE AUTONOMOUS GOVERNMENT)

Now then Mother, I'll be going.

Oh, Aina, you're going already?

Please make sure you're not rude to the people on Earth.

I thought Father was against my actions.

But he's given me such an important task as the mediator with Earth.

It's your bad habit to take things so negatively.

Your father has always worried about you.

My mother is just ignoring the truth.

She doesn't even try to know what's going on out there.

I don't want that.

I want to see and feel the truth.

Is that why you chose them as your escorts?

Yes.

These irregular child soldiers were born out of Earth Sphere's long rule.

They embody the problems that currently burden Mars.

By interacting with them,

I hope to at least share some of their pain.

How beautiful youth and innocence are.

(GJALLARHORN - MARTIAN HQ STATIONARY ORBITAL BASE) How beautiful youth and innocence are.

(GJALLARHORN - MARTIAN HQ STATIONARY ORBITAL BASE)

The daughter of the Bernsteins, who are deeply involved with Earth,

is seen as the leader of the independence movement.

Isn't that ironic, Norman Bernstein?

Yes, she's a foolish daughter.

If foolishness goes that far, it's magnificent.

That is why Chryse's...

No, those scoundrels all over Mars support her.

Then for her to be remembered eternally as a people's icon,

we will help her.

Yes, please be kind, Sir Coral.

He sells out his own daughter, and he asks me to be kind.

He's a true coward.

He should learn from his daughter.

Yes.

But this changes that inspection from Earth into an opportunity.

To receive the support of Nobliss, we need to have her do well.

Orlis, the mission has been decided.

You take command this time.

Yes, sir.

Crank, you support your former student.

- Yes, sir. - Ein.

Yes, sir.

This is your first mission. Do your best.

Understood, sir.

But Mars, huh.

As a colony, it's a planet whose resources are all used up.

- Major, the transmission from Ariadne. - Must a Gjallarhorn inspector be there?

- Major, the transmission from Ariadne. - Must a Gjallarhorn inspector be there?

- Major, the transmission from Ariadne. - Must a Gjallarhorn inspector be there?

I've confirmed it.

Are frontier operations boring you, Gaelio?

As if.

I will work hard as an officer of the inspection division,

Specialist Major McGillis.

The current economy of Earth Sphere depends upon that used-up colony.

For them to continue contributing to Earth Sphere as they are now,

the Mars Branch must straighten themselves up to be a part of Gjallarhorn...

keepers of the world order.

I sympathize with those at the branch.

The push for independence is spreading across all of Mars.

Perhaps we don't have time to worry about others.

Today we go the south route to Block D.

- I'm sleepy. - Let's hurry.

Listen. My body is heavier, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, that's it for checking the equipment we're taking.

Good job.

So the Young Miss comes tomorrow?

Yes, and we leave the day after tomorrow.

It will be about 5 months to go to Earth and back.

It's gonna be quiet here then.

You guys were handpicked, right? You should be glad.

Glad of what? We're just being used conveniently as always.

That old man Maruba

only thinks of us as rats that are a bit faster thanks to the "Whiskers."

The Whiskers...

The old Man-Machine Interface, the Alaya-Vijnana System

How awful.

Well, the price to work here is to have this implanted.

I guess it's still better to have a job.

Your time was hilarious.

There wasn't any anesthetics, but you didn't cry.

And you got punched for being cheeky.

Crying would get you hit too.

In any case, we Third Group members are either toys to relieve stress,

or human shields.

But I still have my pride.

I can't show my weakness.

To Mikazuki?

It must be tough, Captain.

"IRON AND BLOOD..."

Independence from Earth for the Chryse Autonomous Region.

Independence!

No more colonial rule.

No more!

Protect the autonomy of Mars.

You seem happy.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, with this protest outside, there won't be any customers.

Is it for that boy?

- Well... - It's alright.

He got a big job, and you won't see him for a while, right?

You have to make it by tomorrow's delivery.

Yes.

What an honor.

I always admired your noble purposes, Miss Kudelia.

Come in.

Orga Itsuka and 4 others from the Third Group reporting in.

Yes, these are the boys who will escort you...

Nice to meet you, I am Kudelia Aina Bernstein.

- Yeah. - Hey there, I...

Can't you even greet someone properly?

Unbelievable.

Now about the plans from now...

You.

What is your name?

I am Mikazuki Augus.

Can you show me around, Mikazuki?

- Huh? - What?

Fumitan, I will leave this up to you.

Understood.

- That is... - Okay, Mikazuki.

Please do not mind. I will hear your explanation.

- But... - Yes?

This way.

Well...

Oh, hold on...
