Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

A special program broadcast just before Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ began broadcasting as the sequel to the previous Mobile Suit Z Gundam series. A thorough introduction to the Gundam world of the Universal Century timeline!

Damaged after its battle at Gryps 2, the Argama docks at Shangri-La colony at Side 1 for repairs. A local young junk dealer, Judau Ashta, rescues Titan pilot Yazan by chance. At his instigation, Judau and his friends plot to steal the Zeta Gundam.

The Neo-Zeon cruiser Endra docks at Shangri-La. Hoping to avoid conflict, Bright has the Argama retreat into the colony's interior. Just then, Judau successfully boards the Argama, hoping to take the Zeta Gundam for himself.

Having been defeated by the Zeta Gundam, Mashymre seizes an opportunity to strike back. As Judau and his friends search for the Argama, they happen to spot Mashymre launching into battle. Not wanting to be beaten to the prize, Judau grabs on to Mashymre's Galluss-J, hoping to stop it...

Junk dealer Gemon comes to Mashymre, promoting his self-built mobile suit "Geze." With two Gaza-Cs as escorts, Gemon heads out to attack the Argama. But on the way, he spots a giant "Z-G" drawn in a schoolyard by Shinta and Qum. Taking it as a written challenge from the Zeta, he changes course and heads for the school.

Deciding that he has no choice but to become more ruthless if he hopes to beat the Zeta, Mashymre uses the new mobile suit "Zssa" to attack the residential area of the city. Concerned about the hospital where Kamille is being treated, Fa intercepts it with the Methuss as Astonaige boards the Zeta, trying to prove that Judau isn't as special as the others think he is.

At last, Judau is a member of the Argama crew. A team of three Gaza-Ds attack, but Judau is away negotiating with the junk dealers association for clearance to open an industrial airlock hatch. They're saved from this tight spot by a core fighter flown by a girl named Roux Louka from the La Vie En Rose.

After sneaking into a meeting of the junk dealers association, Judau and his friends mistakenly signal that the ship can use the industrial airlock hatch to escape. Gemon and Yazan, piloting two Gezes, attack the Zeta Gundam, and the Endra has the Argama in its sights. But the hatch still isn't open...

Having finally departed Shangri-La, the Argama sets course for the La Vie En Rose. Chafing against Bright's command, Beecha and Mondo try to send a message that they're willing to sell out the Argama. Receiving their signal aboard the Endra, Mashymre sorties in the new mobile suit "Hamma-Hamma."

Fa worries about Kamille, whom they left behind on the colony. Beecha and Mondo send another message, prompting Mashymre to send Gottn to try and infiltrate the Argama and make contact with these collaborators. Judau sorties in the Zeta Gundam, but his beam rifle is still unplugged...

Now a prisoner aboard the Argama, Gottn takes Iino hostage and escapes. Chara Soon attacks in the mobile suit "R-Jarja." Just then, under Roux's guidance, the core fighter, Core Top, and Core Base begin to transform and combine. The new mobile suit "Double Zeta Gundam" is born!

En route to the La Vie En Rose, Judau and the others abandon their duty and begin salvaging the wreckage of a Zaku II. Feeling responsible for her brother's selfish behavior, Leina and Roux set out for the La Vie En Rose themselves. But when they're attacked by Chara, Leina is thrown out into space.

Leina is taken to Glemy Toto and held captive aboard the Endra. The now enraged Judau is confined to the Argama's mess hall, but escapes with Elle's help. The two of them launch in the Double Zeta and Mk-II to rescue Leina. But Gottn plans to use Leina as a hostage in order to defeat the Double Zeta.

Losing their bearings in a debris cluster, the Argama docks at Moon-Moon, an old colony which has been forgotten by everyone. However, there the Argama is attacked by the mysterious "Light tribe." Taken captive, Judau seeks help from a beautiful girl named Rasara Moon.

Judau is revered by the Light tribe as their messiah, but his refusal to their leader Sarasa soon has him on the run. In order to change her sister's mind, Rasara and Judau try to get the old mobile suit "Catl" operational. That's when Glemy attacks in the new mobile suit "Bawoo."

While transporting his new battleship Mindra back to Axis, Glemy captures a launch bound for the Argama. Gottn hides aboard the launch, using it to realize his plan to rescue Chara and plunder the Argama. But Emary, who secretly has feelings for Bright, is taken hostage...

Having taken Shinta hostage during the test of their improved main cannon, Chara steals the Core Top and flees the Argama. When Judau and the others fly out to intercept her, they find themselves facing Gottn in his new mobile suit "Ga-Zowmn" and a squad of Gaza-Cs. Judau attempts to try and retrieve the Core Top by forcibly docking his core fighter with it.

Hoping to rescue Leina, Judau hides in a dummy meteor and infiltrates Axis. There, he meets a young girl calling herself Elpeo Ple. Meanwhile, having given Glemy the slip, Leina meets up with Beecha and Mondo, who have managed to get away from Gottn. Together, they try to escape from Axis.

Pretending to surrender with the Double Zeta as an offering, Judau once again goes to Axis. But Glemy, thinking that Judau and Roux are in a relationship, has Judau imprisoned. Judau tricks Ple into letting him go, but the angry Elpeo Ple takes Leina back and then flies off in pursuit in the Qubeley Mk-II.

Returning from Axis, the Argama docks at Granada on the moon to resupply. Judau, Elle, Torres, and Milly head out into Granada city, where Torres runs into Cecilia, a fried of his from childhood. But then Judau witnesses Cecilia making contact with Gottn.

Torres agonizes over the knowledge that his old friend Cecilia is a spy for Gottn. Amidst the confusion of Chara's escape, Cecilia escapes on her own and goes to Gottn. Giving him phony information, she gets a ticket for an emigration ship. But the trunk supposedly containing her payment has a bomb set inside...

The attack on Earth by Haman Karn's Neo-Zeon fleet is now in full swing. To rescue Leina, Judau attaches bombs to the Double Zeta and then launches into battle on his own. Alone, Judau pursues the battleship Sadalahn. Haman, sensing his Newtype potential, invites him aboard.

At last, the Neo-Zeon forces descend to Dakar, where the federation parliament is located, in order to seize control. The Argama sets out to attack the Sadalahn and stop its descent, but Glemy leads the Sandra forces and returns fire. Amidst the battle, the brainwashed Elpeo Ple attacks in the Qubeley Mk-II.

With the Neo-Zeon forces now in control of Dakar, Judau slips away from the Argama after it makes a water landing in the south seas, and meets Taman and his sister Anu. Taman takes a large sum of money from the Neo-Zeon in exchange for attacking the Argama with the aquatic mobile suit "Capule." Anu worries about what her brother is about to do.

While the Argama holds position to cooperate with the Karaba, the Gundam team receives orders to go on ahead to Dakar. As the team heads for a desert base, they find themselves under attack by the Rommel unit, who have been biding their time for eight years awaiting the restoration of the Zabi family. One by one, the Gundam team crushes the Rommel unit's old mobile suits...
