Let's see...
Over the past 60 years...
...ever since people went up to the Space Colonies...
...even Kyoto has been reduced to this state.
Even so, it would be rude of me not to serve you some tea.
But why would you consider meeting at this rundown temple?
It looks like I got here a bit too early.
Not at all.
I failed to mention that Rain will not be coming.
What?!
Wh-who are you...?
Now, everybody...
...today we will finally start to unravel the mystery of this photo.
Just who is the person in the picture?
And why exactly has Domon Kasshu been pursuing this man?
These questions shall be answered by the Devil Gundam...
...today's opponent, and the strongest Gundam of them all.
And now!
Gundam Fight! Ready! Go!
Fight, Domon! Earth is the Ring!
Platoons 1 and 2, cover areas A to F!
Platoons 3 to 5, cover areas G to L!
Listen, our only chance is to hit him when he makes his appearance!
Don't waste the opportunity!
Fire!
We did it!
Th-this can't be!
D-Devil Gundam!
Has it been a year since that incident?
Yes.
The area has recently been restored.
There're no traces left.
Clearly, we cannot afford to have...
...any of the other Colony Nations find out about that incident.
However, we cannot have anyone exploit the Gundam Fight.
Forgive me, Commissioner Karato.
You may observe for yourself. Domon should awaken at anytime.
Yes.
The simulated event takes place...
...the day he returned from his long martial arts training.
Domon... Domon...
Domon...
Wake up. How long are you going to sleep?
K-Kyoji!
Kyoji, it's you!
Kyoji!
You look a lot tougher.
It's been a really, really long time!
Welcome home.
Dad! Mom!
Have you been eating well?
I've made it back home, Dad. Mom...
Is this really worth it, Ulube?
What are you getting at?
Listen.
I just don't think that it's worth the risk...
...of disregarding Gundam Fight International Regulations...
...by bringing a fighter back to the Colony while the Fight is in progress.
I understand your concern.
However...
I believe I can demonstrate that Domon Kasshu is the best man...
...to resolve this crisis we're facing.
It's been a long while, Domon.
Rain?
You forgot her already?
You two used to hang around together all the time.
You're surprised to see how grown up and gorgeous she is, right?
Come on...
You were away from home a full ten years.
But I trained very hard, and I even earned the title King of Hearts!
I see...
My kid brother is now the Colony champion of martial arts.
What was his name again? Your teacher?
Master Asia!
He sure was strong!
He was top ranked in the Shuffle Alliance of the five masters.
He's known as the "Undefeated of the East"...
...and the former King of Hearts!
But after he gave me this crest...
...he just disappeared.
In any case, Domon...
...Dad and I completed the project.
You mean THE project?
If you'd like, I'll show it to you later.
Make it some other time, Dear.
We're supposed to be celebrating Domon's return from his training.
So let's not talk about work.
Otherwise, we'll end up talking about it all night.
Thank you, Mom.
Delicious! Mom's cooking is truly the best!
Then, why not stay home for good?
I'd be so lonely without you if you were to leave again.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to go anywhere.
I'm happiest when I'm with you and the rest of my family, Mom!
Yeah, but I bet you were...
...homesick for Mom the whole time, right?
Come on, Kyoji, I'm not a kid anymore.
Really? But, to me, you're still a kid.
You're right about that.
This is horrible.
This is just too horrible!
The psychological tests using hallucinations are fine and all...
...but what good will this do?
Well, there's no need to worry.
The Devil Gundam will appear again, just like on that day.
Rain!
Why did you leave so suddenly?
Father! I can't take this anymore!
This experiment is too cruel for Domon!
I feel bad about it myself.
But we just have to keep looking at this as an unusual punishment.
But why?!
Domon has done nothing wrong!
Listen...
We must have Domon continue to fight...
...in the Gundam Fight no matter what risks he must take.
You see, Commissioner Karato...
...isn't concerned about the terrible dangers potentially facing Earth.
The only thing on his mind...
...is winning and becoming Prime Minister of Neo Japan.
Rain.
The next stage of this test is important.
However, I'm concerned about the actions taken by Karato.
Understand?
You like it?
Kyoji and I worked together to build this Gundam.
The future of humankind rests on the shoulders of this Gundam.
The future of humankind?
That's right. The future of humankind.
With this one Gundam...
...the possibilities are endless.
Anything is possible.
Kyoji?
What do you mean by that?
No, it's not that important.
What's this? What's going on?
Darling!
Dr. Kasshu. And your son, Kyoji Kasshu.
You both are hereby under arrest for suspicion of treason.
What do you mean?!
Hold on!
What is the meaning of this?!
We believe you are planning to use that Gundam as a weapon...
...and to destroy the United Colonies Federation and Earth...
...with total domination as your objective.
That's ridiculous!
Kyoji?
That was a fast response...
...comrades of the military police.
Domon...
Everything that man is saying is true.
What?! You can't be serious!
Sorry about that, Dad.
But now I'm free to do anything I want with this Gundam.
Like this.
Kyoji!
Fire.
Kyoji!
Stop this, please! Please!
Kyoji, this is a misunderstanding. Right?
Look out, Mom!
Kyoji!
Mom!
Mobile Fighter G Gundam
Mom!
No!
M-Mom...!
Kyoji!
Our mother! Our own mother!
Our mom...
M-Mom...
It's true that this illusion was created based on our records.
He was actually not present when this happened.
However, Domon did go there immediately afterwards.
I'm sorry.
I feel terrible about this.
As a personal friend of your dad, I feel I could've done something.
The Neo Japan Government...
...has ruled that your father was an accomplice...
...and sentenced him to indefinite suspension in cryogenic state.
How could they?
We did everything possible.
But the best we could do was avoid capital punishment.
As for what happened to the Devil Gundam...
It slipped into Earth's atmosphere...
...undetected as if it was nothing.
We figured he couldn't have survived...
...at that re-entry speed.
In our minds, the case was closed.
However, it was only the beginning.
We realized something astonishing in our subsequent investigation.
Yes. Even if the Gundam had been destroyed upon re-entry...
...it possesses three amazing abilities.
The ability to self-multiply, self-recover and self-evolve.
Therefore, it will resurrect itself...
...and Kyoji Kasshu will no doubt use those abilities...
...and destroy everything in sight.
Also, as long as Neo Hong Kong rules over Earth...
...we must be very careful.
Therefore...
...we would like you to become a Gundam Fighter!
What?
Listen...
...according to my calculations...
...it'll take one year before he completely recovers on Earth.
That year just happens to coincide with...
...a quadrennial event, the Gundam Fight.
During the tournament...
...you'll be able to move freely about the Earth.
You will be able to pursue him...
...and then capture him.
Otherwise, nothing will change.
Domon...
The only one capable of capturing him...
...is you, the King of Hearts.
Father.
I'll get him...
Kyoji...
Commissioner Karato!
I've seen all I want.
What does this prove, anyway?
Don't you see? His strong willpower is necessary.
It will guarantee his winning the championship as well.
What about his poor record?
Neo America Gundam Maxter
Gundam Maxter...
Neo China Dragon Gundam Dragon Gundam...
Neo France Gundam Rose Gundam Rose...
Neo Russia Bolt Gundam Bolt Gundam...
He could've beaten some of these opponents, but chose not to.
He probably realized they had no connection with his brother Kyoji.
Moreover...
...we instructed Domon to fight particular opponents...
...because we wanted him to hit the countries most likely...
...to be aware of the incident involving Devil Gundam.
But we didn't expect these results.
I'll at least acknowledge that.
Then, I want to run this test my way to get the results I want.
What?
What do you mean?
This is...!
What are you trying to do?!
Simple.
I'm seeing whether or not he has the guts...
...to defeat his brother if he were to face him.
Whether or not he can strike down his brother as an enemy.
That's what I want to test.
Of course, this will be an actual battle.
Domon Kasshu will pilot the real Shining Gundam.
And his opponent will be the mobile armor, Fantoma...
However...
...the illusion will make his enemy appear to him as the Devil Gundam.
Is it too exciting for just an experiment?
But don't worry.
Should anything happen to Domon...
...I will use my position and persuade...
...the International Committee to approve an alternate Fighter.
All right...
Let's see if he has the guts to fight his brother.
Oh, I forgot!
When you faced the Devil Gundam...
...you could do nothing but tremble...
...and were wiped out along with Fantoma...
...and that's when you got that scar under your mask, right?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I suspected he'd come up with something like this.
L-it's you, Kyoji...!
Sorry, but I thought you could use a nap.
You have to stop this, Kyoji!
Domon! It's not too late!
Get out of your Shining Gundam!
Kyoji...
You plan to shoot your own brother?
Kyoji!
Now! Finish him off for me!
I made it in time. But...
Th-that's...
Rescue team, hurry up and get my daughter.
How utterly pathetic.
No. Look more carefully, sir.
What?
Domon...?
Th-that Gundam is shining!
What's happening?!
Brother!
No, Kyoji!
I will never forgive you!
You've taken away our mother and shamed our father!
You will never be forgiven!
Super Mode Shining Gundam
What's that?
Take a look.
That is the true form of our Shining Gundam.
That's its true form?!
Correct.
When his extreme anger peaks...
...his emotions become energy...
...enabling a maximum power...
...resulting from that transformation.
In other words...
...the only one who can unleash the power of our Shining Gundam...
...is Domon Kasshu, the man who has vowed revenge on his brother!
My hand glows with an awesome power!
It cries out to me to defeat you!
Take this!
My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow!
Shining Finger Sword!
Go! Go! Go!
Karato!
Listen! Never play tricks like this on me again!
Domon! When did you realize this wasn't real?!
Listen up!
From now on, don't interfere!
I will find Kyoji and defeat the Devil Gundam!
With my own hands!
Just do as you wish!
Rain!
We'll be returning to Earth.
Or rather, to our battleground!
Right!
Father...
That was a close call.
However...
...no matter what obstacles we face...
...we cannot dismiss the Devil Gundam.
To do this...
...we're putting your daughter through a great deal of sorrow.
Nevertheless...
...we have only one objective.
Yes.
Until then...
...they must be the lonely fighters...
...that can keep moving no matter how difficult it is.

Everyone! It's the moment you've been waiting for.
Domon's life is threatened by a man...
...while he is in sunny Neo Mexico.
The man's name is Chico Rodriguez.
To quit as a Gundam Fighter...
...Chico targets government officials, as well as Chibodee Crocket.
Next, on Mobile Fighter G Gundam...
Prepare to Fight! Desperate Fugitive.
Prepare to Fight! Desperate Fugitive Ready! Go!
