Video of this chapter
I’m trying out a new image size for screenshots. The size of the mugshots will not be changed at this point as they’re the native size to the game and redoing all of my spreadsheets would be way too annoying. Lemme know what you think.
Here’s the Skill Items window (screenshot was taken at a poor time). Instead of having normal parts you equip to your mech, you instead give skills to the pilots much like SRW K, L, and UX. There’s too many skills to list here, but the important ones right now are E Save (EN consumption reduced by 20%) and B Save (ammo based weapons gain 1.5x ammo). You can find a full list of skills here. Since I’m playing on NG+, I have all the skill parts from the previous playthrough. In a new game, you’ll have to gather them over the course of the game through clear bonuses and defeating bosses.
Make sure you start investing into weapons!
Last time, Destrook found a spear and we shot some bugs.
[Rostroulan, Command Room]
Big Ring’s first line of defense has been breached!
(Federation Soldier. Gundam AGE. CV: ???)
What are the front line troops doing to allow the enemy to break through so easily!?
(Kouichirou Misumaru. Nadesico. CV: Aiko Ootsuka)
According to reports, the enemy managed to slip through our radar and appear seemingly out of thin air!
(Federation Officer. Gundam 00. CV: ???)
So they’re launching a surprise attack using the “Invisible Umbrella”, huh… But aren’t surprise attacks to be expected by now?
(Frederick Algreus. Gundam AGE. CV: Takehito Koyasu)
The last large-scale battle with the Vagans took place over 20 years ago, so there are many who aren’t familiar with their tactics…
That’s hardly an excuse for a military man.
Send in all surrounding forces. Coordinate with the independent agency who’s already on their way and provide cover!
What all due respect sir, was there really a need to request civilian aid? Big Ring is the key to Earth’s defenses. Even if the Vagans and Jovian Lizards launch a surprise attack…
Do you really see the big picture?
!? M-my apologies!
(That’s not all. Our General is dropping the ball… Former Commander Asuno’s military purge is now a thing of the past…)
I know how you feel, Commander Algreus. But we must fight anyway. There’s nothing more painful than a needless loss of life.
If I recall correctly, your daughter went to Mars and…
She’s a soldier’s daughter. It would have been her wish to die in battle. But right now, we’re in charge of protecting countless lives who don’t feel the same.
Yes. That’s why the federal army exists.
(Yes… No matter what the current state of the army is, I must protect them. Especially since former Commander Asuno entrusted the army to me!)
[Satellite Orbit, Cargo Ship]
Is the situation at Big Ring really that bad? By the time our fleet departed, the fight against the Vagans was moving away from the Earth Sphere.
It’s true that the Earth’s side made a comeback after they won the Battle of Norram, which took place in satellite orbit 23 years ago.
But I mentioned it earlier, remember? All the troubles the Earth Sphere has been going through the past 20 or so years?
So while we’re fighting among ourselves, we’ve allowed the Vagans to regain their strength…
Of course the federal army isn’t that incompetent. What gave the Vagans more power was the sudden existence of the Jovian Lizards, who appeared 2 years ago.
Aliens from Jupiter, right?
To be precise, it’s a group of unmanned weapons. It’s unclear what their relationship actually is, but it appears that they’re working together with the Vagans.
To begin with, the temporary base that we’ve constructed on Mars was completely destroyed…
Destroyed…
There was a lot of criticism about it at the time… Apparently Nergal Heavy Industries was involved in its construction.
It’s unofficial, but I do have intel that one of Nergal’s newly constructed ships was sent to rescue them about 8 months ago. Unfortunately, we’ve lost all contact with them…
Mars is under Vagan control. Going there is tantamount to suicide. That ship is probably already…
So they’re all gone…
Now you know how dangerous this mission is, right? This was an SOS sent to GGG. You should return to base now.
Guy, are you planning to go alone?
Just wait a second! I’m coming with you!
Youta, do you realize what he’s implying?
What do you mean?
Participating in this mission means taking part in the war against the Vagans and Jovian Lizards.
Oh…
Instead of fighting machines and Jaaku Beasts, you’ll be fighting against humans…
We’ve only been watching the war on TV…
Falsaber is right. The same goes for everyone else.
…I’m sorry, but after learning about what’s going on, I have to do something.
Huh?
Honestly, I don’t like fighting in wars. But I’m not so heartless that I’d just let you go by yourself. And speaking as a pilot, I can’t stand to see the Earth’s skies polluted by war.
I agree.
These brainless pilots… But either way, our mission right now is to cooperate with GGG.
We can’t just turn our asses around and run away.
Koji, even you…
If the Big Ring is destroyed and we lose, who knows what’ll happen to the people of Earth.
Affiliation means nothing if that happens.
Everyone…
Guy, I’m going too.
Are you sure?
Very. There’s people I need to protect.
Everyone seems more fired up than usual…
It’s going to be a big battle. We have to do something too…
Everyone, are you ready? We’ll head to Big Ring at maximum speed!
[Second Moon, Ezelcant’s Castle]
It’s been over a century since we came to this planet. Our hatred towards those who abandoned us on this red Earth will never fade.
I still remember my sorrow like it was yesterday… But it’s because of that that we’ve been able to survive this long.
(Dorene Ezelcant. Gundam AGE. CV: Mie Sonozaki)
Everyone has done a good job. Both you and our people.
It’s too early for thanks. This isn’t the end, but a beginning.
I have a report, Lord Ezelcant.
(Phone)
Zanald. How’s the battle fairing?
Everything is going according to plan. Preparations for That will be complete soon.
I see. Keep me in the loop.
Leave it to me. I, Zanald Beihart, will not make the same mistakes as that boy. I will avenge our loss from 23 years ago so that we can create our ideal Eden on Earth!
(He hangs up)
Our ideal, huh…
Let’s get started… Will you finally realize the ideal you’ve long dreamed of?
That’s right… We’re moving into the final phase of my plan. Let’s listen together, Dorene. From here, we’ll be able to hear the ringing of our…
Chapter 5: Bell of Beginnings
Damn you Earthlings!
(Vagan Soldier. Gundam AGE. CV: ???)
Uwaaaaaaa!
Dammit! There are too many of them! If this keeps up…
(Federation Soldier. Gundam 00. CV: ???)
The Big Ring is the cornerstone of the EFF’s space defense! All units, protect it even at the cost of your lives!
!? Commander, there’s a force approaching our sector! This reaction is…
Looks like we made it in time!
This is Guy Shishioh from GGG! We’ll be joining in the defense of the Big Ring!
GGG…! Thanks! Your help is very appreciated!
Well now that we’re here, it doesn’t look good at all…
So this is a war between humans…
Since you’ve made up your mind, don’t let yourself be consumed by the battlefield’s atmosphere, Youta.
R-right…
You’ll be fine, Youta! We’re here with you!
(Phone)
Yuki!?
I don’t know how much help I can provide, but I’ll support you to the best of my ability!
(Phone)
Mina… What do you mean by support?
They’ll act as communications officers. They both insisted on helping me.
(Phone)
I’ve learned a lot from our adventures, Aisha!
(TL Note: Play Macross 30)
Geez. Don’t overdo it.
Youta. You’re not fighting alone. We have friends supporting us. Of course, I’m here too.
…You’re right. Thank you, Falsaber.
Everyone, don’t be fooled by numbers! We’ll work together with the feds and defeat them one by one!
There’s a lot of Vagans and Battas out here. Start moving to the north-east in a group. You’re accompanied by three NPC GN-X’s (from Gundam 00) which, if you’re not careful, will steal kills. Anything killed by an NPC will rob you of its EXP and money. You don’t need to go out of your way to save them from being eventually destroyed, since the plot will do that soon enough.
Once 5 enemies are left or at the start of turn 3…
The troop loss rate in Field N has exceeded 20%!
If this keeps up, the enemy will reach us in full force!
Tch. We’ve got our hands full already!
I’ll go and support them! With my YF-29’s speed…
Wait! The enemy’s movements are strange!
[All remaining enemies retreat]
The Vagans and Jovian Lizards left…
The same is happening in all other sectors! All enemies are retreating!
Did they give up…?
I’d like to think so, but…
[Alarm]
…!? A huge heat signature has been detected in front of the Big Ring!
It’s a high power beam weapon!
In front of… There’s nothing here!
The heat source… INCOMING!
Ugh…
I-is everyone alright!?
Yes… I guess… But what was that beam just now?
…I guess that’s what fired it…
W-what the hell is that…
Is that a Vagan mobile fortress?
Mina! The Big Ring is…
Unfortunately, the Big Ring was destroyed in that attack. It does seem there are some survivors though…
Oh no…
Dammit! That was their plan!
They’ve done it… I didn’t think a fortress of that size could be equipped with an Invisible Umbrella…
Hahaha. That was so easy! Isn’t this La Gramis wonderful?
(Name is ???)
So the commander has shown himself…
You must be frustrated, Earthlings! Now you will know the depths of our hatred!
(Name is back to normal)
The federal soldiers…
Crap. They were annihilated…
Now that the Big Ring has fallen, there’s no point in fighting any further! Everyone, retreat!
We expected you to try that! We won’t let even a single Earthling escape!
Our escape route!
Looks like the Vagans aren’t gonna just let us run.
Guy!
I know. There’s only one way we’ll make it out of this… We’ll defeat their commander and break through their lines!
Now the objective is to defeat Zanald. It wouldn’t hurt to defeat all the Jovians and Vagans in the way too.
(Yes I forgot to check his stats screen. He’ll come back later.)
Zanald and his Xamdrag, our next boss, escapes at 30% HP (10500). I’ve neglected to invest into weapons, so that’s unfortunately beyond my means here unless I fish for crits using quicksaves. Hindsight and all that.
Vagan mobile suits have always had strange appearances, but that one there reminds me a lot of a Kikaiju!
That machine doesn’t even have a shred of mobility! My Xamdrag’s power will overwhelm them!
That one must be the GaoGaiGar that was mentioned in the report! It seems that its output has increased by combining with support units. If I can just destroy those connections…
Looks like he’s trying to undo Gao Machines’ fusion. But GaoGaiGar is the culmination of GGG’s efforts! Someone like you will never break it!
Kukuku. Your movements betray your fear! Earthlings seem very cowardly after having consumed the atmosphere of the battlefield!
Don’t be fooled by his words. Fear is the greatest sign of being human. If you’re overwhelmed by fear, let me support you!
Then I’ll fight without hesitation. Just don’t ask me to give up if things get too hard later!
Despite its silly appearance, that mobile suit has great mobility! How can they create such advanced technology on a place like Mars!?
We Vagans aren’t so foolish to think we can just win a war by using tech stolen from SDF-1!
That mech’s movements are erratic. There’s probably something wrong with it! To come to a battlefield in that condition…
Kuh. Even if I’m not in the best condition, as long as I’m flying this plane, I won’t be shot down!
Once Zanald’s HP reaches 70% (24500)...
You Earthlings are more persistent than I expected. However…
That’s a Chulip!
It’s huge… What the hell is that thing!?
You said it’s called a Chulip, but it doesn’t look like a space plant to me…
Don’t be fooled by its name! That’s actually…
A gravity wave reaction is detected inside the Chulip!
I see, so a Chulip is like a Jovian Lizard mothership…
But how does it work? It spat out more enemies than it looks like it could hold!
(“It spat out”... I see, so that’s what it is.)
That Chulip is probably an enemy teleportation device!
A teleportation device!?
Unless we destroy that thing, enemies will keep spawning endlessly!
We’re way past that point now. We’re completely surrounded.
There’s not even a single chance you’ll be able to escape from here. As you die, try to understand even a fraction of the grief and suffering we Vagans continue to endure even now!
More gravitational wave reactions are confirmed inside the Chulip! It’s the size of a battleship!
Is it all over for us…
Huh!? Hang on! This ID signal is…
Is what!?
I’ve verified the data! The reaction inside the Chulip is of the civilian ship that disappeared a few months ago…
Super Robot Wars BX - You Get To Burning (Long ver.)
Nergal Heavy Industry’s ship, the Mobile Battleship Nadesico!
What!?
…
That’s the Earth ship from back then? Why did it come out of a Chulip…?
The ship has returned to normal space.
No way! We really got out!?
Ruri, where did we end up?
This ship is currently in Earth’s satellite orbit, in the area around the Big Ring. But it seems the Big Ring is currently destroyed.
The Big Ring is… What the hell happened!?
(Jun Aoi. Nadesico. CV: Kentarō Itō)
The Federation is currently fighting against the Vagans. Incidentally, our ship is completely surrounded.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
(Prospector. Nadesico. CV: Kenichi Ono)
Given the current situation, it seems like the Federation is losing. Your orders, Captain?
(Goat Hoary. Nadesico. CV: Jurota Kosugi)
…
Turn this ship around and fire a Gravity Blast! We’ll provide support to any remaining friendlies!
Roger.
It destroyed all those Jovian Lizards in a single shot!
What power… It’s almost like a Macross Cannon… Nergal made something like that…
Can you hear me? I’m Yurika Misumaru, Captain of Nergal Heavy Industries’ battleship Nadesico.
It’s you…
We’ll talk later. We’ve determined that the current situation requires our assistance. Although it’s based on my opinion, we’ll provide you with our support!
There’s no way we’d refuse. Thank you for the help!
Are you sure, Captain? After that battle on Mars, this ship isn’t in peak condition.
Because of that, the Nadesico alone won’t be able to escape the enemy’s encirclement. Besides…
Besides?
If I don’t help them here, I’d feel bad for us, the Admiral, and the people of Mars.
I guess…
I suddenly feel motivated.
(Megumi Reinard. Nadesico. CV: Naoko Takano)
Tell the Aestivalis squad to launch!
I’ve got a lot of pent-up anger from Mars! Time to let off some steam!
I don’t know what trick they used to get here, but that’s the same fat guy from Mars!
(Hikaru Amano. Nadesico. CV: Shiho Kikuchi)
It’s like being haunted by the Grim Reaper.
(Izumi Maki. Nadesico. CV: Miki Nagasawa)
We’re not haunted!
(We just got out and fell into another fight… How long will they all be satisfied with this war…?)
Hey, Tenkawa! Don’t be so tense and overdo it! Without the gravitational wave beam from the Nadesico, our Aestis will stop immediately!
I know! I just have to stick close to the Nadesico!
To think an Earth ship would pass through a Chulip safely… No, I’ll think about that later. My mission is to kill all Earthlings! That’s all I have to do!
Oh boy, I’m getting some deja vu.
[Nadesico]
One of the best battleships in the game. High armor, damage nullifying barrier (below 1500), and one hell of a main cannon. Just watch the EN, as both the Gravity Blast and the barrier use up EN. Enemies will likely target your battleships first, so try not to get overwhelmed.
[Aestivalis (0G Frame)]
I’ll keep it brief since we don’t get to keep the Aestis at this point. They’re small, fast, have a damage nullifying barrier (provided the incoming damage is below 1500), and they regain full EN every turn if they’re close to the Nadesico.
Ryoko, Hikaru, and Izumi’s Aestis have a combo attack with each other that’s easily spamable, but you’ll likely not get the will in time to use it this chapter.
Just keep doing as you were doing.
They’re attacking the federal army’s HQ! They must have a secret weapon or two up their sleeves! Anyway, there’s no point in thinking about it now! Right now, we have to secure our retreat!
I’m not fighting to fight… I’m fighting because… But… Tell me, Gai… What would you do at a time like this!?
Looks like the Batta’s Field has been strengthened too.
There’s something strange going on here. There’s so many machines I’ve never seen before.
I thought we wouldn’t make it through the Chulip…
And what awaited us on the other side was hell. This isn’t funny.
Well, it’s not our fault, is it? We had no choice but to do that.
But our ship is damaged. Fighting more Vagans gives me a headache when I think about the repair bill.
I just hope it’s just a headache. The enemy is coming.
Captain, we’re practically isolated and helpless. The longer this battle continues, the worse it’ll get. Just so you know.
Maintain the Field at all times. Keep the Gravity Blast ready to fire at any time!
(The Nadesico is our ship! I have to do my best…)
There’s another line for Zanald vs Nadesico.
Hmph. I don’t know how you survived the Chulip, but it’s a good thing you ended up here. I’ll capture the ship so we Vagans can analyze it! It’ll help us keep Them at bay.
That robot seems ambitious. I don’t like greedy men.
The pilot inside must be the Captain’s type. Just look at his costume.
You’re so mean, Megumi. I wasn’t wearing anything like that! Don’t lump me with him. Ruri, the target is that enemy mech! Use everything we have to crush it!
You’re all idiots.
The battle ends when Zanald hits the HP threshold or is destroyed. I told you not to expect perfect gameplay.
Guh! Why won’t you die!? I’m not done yet!
Everyone, board the Nadesico immediately! Once you’re onboard, we’ll leave this area!
Roger!
I won’t let you escape, Earthlings!
He fell for it! Fire the Gravity Blast over a wide area!
What a clever move! But don’t think I’ll let you get away that easily!
Don’t chase them, Zanald.
(Phone)
Lord Ezelcant? Why are you stopping me!?
Our forces have secured space superiority. There’s no need to pursue them any further.
But if we can strike down the Earthling’s main force here…
I said it’s fine.
…Roger that.
[He hangs up]
This was the perfect opportunity to eradicate them! Why stop me, Lord Ezelcant…
[Nadesico, Bridge]
Captain Misumaru, thank you so much for your help in the operation just now.
(Phone)
Ahaha… I get embarrassed when you get all formal.
Captain, your face is bright red.
Eh? You serious? I can’t let you see that! Jun, take over for me!
I can’t. Your face isn’t even red anyway.
There’s no need to be embarrassed, right? In any case, we would’ve been sunk if we were there alone.
I don’t want to die after making it back to Earth. Seriously.
Everyone, stop being so mean! What do you think, Akito?
Tenkawa isn’t here. Why would he come here after the battle?
Ehhhh!? Wouldn’t it make sense for him to rush over and check on his beloved after a tough battle?
Don’t just assume things! Besides, Akito and I are…
…
Y-you all seem a bit too relaxed after surviving that battle…
My apologies. This ship’s crew was selected based on ability rather than personality…
I-it’s fine. Our organization is not dissimilar. Don’t worry about it.
Chief, may I ask them a question?
Shoot.
What is it?
It’s been about 8 months since we last heard from you about your efforts to rescue any Martian survivors… And then you suddenly appeared from a Jovian Lizard’s “Chulip”. What happened over there?
!? Wait, did you just say 8 months?
According to the documents I have, you left earth…exactly 7 months and 17 days ago.
That can’t be right… We only entered the Chulip moments before we appeared here…
You entered a Chulip?
Let me explain what happened. It took us a month and a half to get from Earth to Mars. At the base on Mars, we managed to find survivors, but…
There were still survivors!?
Yeah… But we were quickly surrounded by the Lizards and the Vagans. The survivors…
…
Afterwards, in order to escape the enemy’s pursuit, Admiral Fukube decided that we needed to do something drastic.
So you rushed into the Chulip, a teleportation device.
I thought that was reckless, but if it’s Admiral Fukube, it makes sense.
He once participated in the war against the Zentradi, and was a hero at the First Battle of Mars.
I heard he got upset over what happened at the Battle of Mars and retired from the army. I never thought Nergal would’ve picked him up.
A living witness to the Zentradi war… I’d love to meet him. Where is he?
He shielded us, allowing us to escape…
I see… We’ve lost a great man.
So right now we know how it happened, but the time difference remains a mystery. If we could understand more about how their teleportation system works, we could get to the bottom of this…
Well, for the time being, Nergal is calling the Chulip teleportation a “Boson Jump”.
(Inez Fressenage. Nadesico. CV: Naoko Matsui)
Inez… Were you outside waiting for a chance to explain something?
!? Inez… Are you Dr. Inez Fressange!?
Oh? Do you know her?
Not personally, but she’s the scientist who uncovered special technology from a newly discovered ancient ruin.
If you’re going to explain my backstory, I hope you’re avoiding misunderstandings.
So you know about this Boson Jump thing. Are you also with Nadesico?
She’s a scientist affiliated with Nergal and the one who designed the Nadesico. Also… She’s the only survivor from the Martian base.
[Nadesico, Hangar]
What what what!? A combined Super Robot and one made out of a unique alloy!? Were these built without my knowledge!?
(Seiya Uribatake. Nadesico. CV: Nobou Tobita)
It’s not fair that they kept this technology secret and built a robot out of it, right?
It’s not like it’s a secret any more. Hehehehehehehe…
Did you understand my explanation of these mechs and myself?
I believe it, but it’s a bit crazy.
Aliens threatening humanity and an evil organization seeking world domination… And standing in their way are robots created in secret and robotic lifeforms like yourself. Do I have that right?
It’s just like Gekiganger or other mecha anime!
Well when you consider SDF-1, I guess truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Hey Tenkawa, get over here! You like these kinds of robots, don’t you?
…They’re fine. Now’s not the best time…
(Akito leaves)
Tenkawa…
Oh my. If Akito’s not reacting to these guys, then he must be taking it hard.
What happened to him?
You know about the base on Mars, right? It seems to have been his old home.
I see… So he was trying to protect the people from his hometown…
But like we said before, they were wiped out. All because of us…
In the end, even though it was because of a war, he learned that Admiral Fukube was the reason his parents died.
To be protected by someone like that would complicate things…
In his case, he didn’t sign on as a pilot to begin with. He wasn’t prepared for any of this… Also on our way to Mars, his best friend and coworker died. He’s still feeling it even now.
No matter how experienced a pilot is, the death of a close one can ruin their life. It’s horrible…
…I’ll go cheer him up!
(She runs off)
Oi, Yuki! She ran off on her own again…
But I can understand how that Tenkawa kid feels…
Yeah… Just now we saw the Big Ring get destroyed in front of us…
Koji. Alto. There’s no time for regrets now.
I know… Now that the Big Ring is destroyed, the Earth is in danger.
Exactly. Instead of focusing on what you couldn’t protect, focus on what you can still protect.
Ahhh, so cool! That’s really giving me that mecha pilot feel!
I wish Tenkawa could be as manly as he was and move on…
[Nadesico, Hallway]
(Gai’s dead. Admiral Fukube’s dead… I returned to Earth without learning anything… And now it’s just war, war, and more war… I’m supposed to be a cook for god’s sake!)
Here, eat this.
Eh!? Wha!? What!?
I’m sorry for the surprise. This is her way of showing sincerity.
That voice… I heard your voice in the hangar earlier…
You looked depressed. Your friends are really worried about you.
Worried… I guess they are…
…
Even if you get hurt, don’t give up. The important thing is to have the “courage” to aim for tomorrow!
Eh? Courage?
Yes! That’s what Guy always says!
!? Gai!? You knew Gai!?
Um…
She’s talking about GaoGaiGar’s pilot. You fought alongside him earlier.
Oh… Right. A different person with the same name… Right… Gai isn’t here anymore…
Did I say something weird?
No, not at all. I’ll eat the food you gave me.
You seem to be feeling better.
I don’t know who you are, but thanks to you I know what to do now. There’s still things I can do!
[Nadesico, Bridge]
In other words, a Chulip is some kind of teleportation device… And it’s almost certain that our subjective time, on a personal level, has become significantly different from normal Earth time.
I see… It seems different from the time difference caused by a Fold.
If this time difference is a phenomenon unique to Chulips, then there’s no way it could be used as the Lizard’s means of invasion.
But this time the time difference is in months. We still need more information to determine what causes this…
Um… Hello!
W-what!?
I’m sorry, but can you continue this discussion later? Now’s not the best time.
Oh, sorry. It seems my love for explanations has kicked in.
It’s fine. I’ve already sorted out the important information you’ve provided.
Anyway, it seems the Earth is just as busy as ever while we were away.
There’s bound to be another catastrophe. We need to start preparing.
This battle has caused immeasurable damage to the federal army… In that case, from the perspective of replenishing military power, civilian forces like the Nadesico can no longer remain uninvolved.
It all depends on what HQ thinks. We’d like to avoid fighting in a war if possible…
Now that things have turned out this way, the feds will probably want to seize the Nadesico again.
Are they going to force us to fight in a war?
It’s possible. We should be ready to fight at any time.
The Nadesico is in bad shape. If we fight again so soon, we’ll be sunk.
In that case, taking everyone’s opinions into consideration, the Nadesico will set a course for Kawasaki City’s docks.
I see. That place is close to the Bay Tower Base after all.
I’m sorry about all this.
It’s fine. We’ll send GGG an invoice for the fuel and ammunition spent during that battle.
That’s a private company for you… Well, not like we’re one to talk.
Nadesico, head straight for Kawasaki!
!? Wait a second! What’s this… The Vagans are making a statement on every channel around the planet!
[Rostroulan, Command Room]
My name is Ezelcant! I am the leader of the independent nation of Vagan, composed of humans living in the Mars Sphere!
(He’s on TV)
When this broadcast started, multiple mobile suit attacks were launched all over the world! They’ve been hiding out on the planet for this!
Mmm…
Earthlings! You once abandoned our ancestors who ventured out into space and deprived them of their right to live as humans! But many of you are unaware of this fact! And why is that!?
So the day has finally arrived…
Even though it’s a dark legacy, the fact that we’re here means we’ve inherited it. As the federal army, we are entrusted with the lives of Earth’s citizens…
…I know, Admiral Misumaru. Gentlemen! From now on, this place, Rostroulan, will be the federal army’s HQ!
[Ptolemaios 2 Kai, Briefing Room]
It’s because fools have buried this fact in the darkness of history to hide their own crimes! What has covering this up accomplished? It’s nothing but a history of bloodshed! Even after our war began, the Earth has given birth to many rebellious forces!
(Still on TV)
It’s as if he’s blaming the current Earth Federation for expelling them.
The feds will never accept the Vagan’s cause.
If they did admit it, all of the sacrifices made in the war against the Vagans would become meaningless.
But that won’t change anything. That’s why we’re…
[Palau, Office]
This is the greatest proof that Earthlings have created a foolish world! We’ve vowed to eliminate such people from Earth and create a new world for ourselves on this planet!
(TV)
Ghosts should live in darkness with other ghosts…
(Angelo Sauper. Gundam Unicorn. CV: Tetsuya Kakihara)
It’s precisely because we’re ghosts that we miss the light. However, this will cause even more chaos in the Earth Sphere than it can probably take.
(Full Frontal. Gundam Unicorn. CV: Shūichi Ikeda)
Then…
I will accept their long-awaited invitation to inherit Laplace’s Box…
[Olivernotes, Asuno Residence]
Our time has come! Earthlings, prepare yourselves! We Vagans hereby declare the start of our full-scale invasion of Earth!
Grandpa, you wanted me for something!?
(Kio Asuno. Gundam AGE. CV: Kazutomi Yamamoto)
Yes. Watch closely, Kio. That is the Demon King who seeks to destroy humanity!
Demon King…
[???]
It looks like they’ve finally reached the planet.
