Mobile Suit Gundam

This is the very first in the many successful Gundam Sagas. The story goes like this the year is UC 0079 as man's technologies improve humans embark into outer space living in Colonies. Eventually one of the colonies decided to break away from earth and call themselves the principality of Zeon. A war breaks out between the Zeon and Earth the goal simple the Zeon wish to become a separate entity. Eventually the war is so intense that the Zeon drop a colony on Earth causing massive fallout. With the development of the Zaku (a mobile suit) the Zeon seem to have the upper hand. That is until they get word of an earth federation Mobile Suit called the Gundam.

So far I've only told you the background information of the show the information you read is from the prologue. So our series begins with the Zeon penetrating into side 7 (a colony) looking for the newly develop earth Federation Suit and ship. Thus the focus switches to a young boy named Amuro who is just told that its time to evacuate the colony from his long time friend Fra Bow. So in the midst of trying to escape Amuro runs into his father who is the chief engineer for the gundam. The Zaku's attack the area where Amuro and his father are talking uncovering the Gundam. Amuro's father is pulled by a hole into space leaving the exposed Gundam to Amuro's eyes along with the manual. Amuro decides to jump into the cockpit of the Gundam and for some weird reason is able to pilot the Gundam and defeat the Zeon Forces.

Eventually with the introduction of other characters Amuro heads for White Base to escape the colony, which is about to blow. While Onboard the Captain of the White Base is gravely injured and dies leaving Bright Noah in charge of white base. Do to the overwhelming attack of Zeon many of the experienced soldiers have die. In order for the white base to escape a collective of teenagers including Amuro must act as military and are temporary drafted becoming soldiers and fighters of White Base. Now let's switch focus and discuss the enemy side of the main characters first off there are four members of the Zabi family who are in control of the Principality know as Zion. I am going to leave out their names do to the fact that they only appear in very little of the gundam episodes and only play a big roll towards the end of the show. Our main enemy character of the show is Char Azanable who is an ace pilot of the Zion Forces. He is known for shooting down five cruisers by himself.

That's the basic plot of the show most of the episodes in the series revolve around white base trying to get to earth and hand over the ship. And in between the way Char comes to try and stop white base but is forted by Amuro and the Gundam many times. Eventually while on Earth the white base is able to kill off the youngest of the Zabi Family Garma. Thus ends the first main saga in the show. The next saga revolves around the group from the Gallop trying to avenge Garma's death and stop white base. Char is not seen during this storyline because he is on the bad side of the Zabi family because he did nothing to help Garma. So in place of Char is a new guy called Ranba Rai. And he has a Zaku that is very different from the regular ones named the Gouf.

In this saga Amuro defeats Ranba Rai eventually and other mechs are introduced such as the GunTank and the GunCannon. Out of rage Ranba Rai's wife Hammon tries to destroy Amuro and the Gundam but does fail. So we change focus to a couple of battles involving some new mechs from the zion side. Now after this defeat an old foe by the name of Char comes back with a vengence and engages char in some battles. Finally the White base does manage to get to Jawbrow and the crew of the white base is drafted into the military as a decoy unit. So its off to space again in order to get hold of the Zeon Stronge hold Solomon. So its off into space and with it some new revelations are brought up like Sayla a member of white base is actually Char's sister.

So eventually in space the crew of the white base along with federation forces are able to get into Solomon and take it over. Next up comes a battle between Amuro, Char and Lala Sun who is a girl that is drafted into the Zion forces as a new type. Now for those who are wondering what a new-type is the easiest way to say it is someone who uses all his brain power and has certain physic abilities. It is quite obvious that at this point Char and Amuro are new types. With that clarified now you must be wondering where Lala comes into play. Simple Lala is a new type that is in love with both Char and Amuro and during a battle in Space is killed accidently by Amuro when he swings at Char with the beam saber. With the demise of Lala, Amuro along with others on the White Base have fully developed their newtype powers.

Well if you have decide to read on i will blow the end of the series for you. After the battle with Lala Char realizes that Lala was his only hope in beating Amuro. Meanwhile the Zabi family has started to fall. First off the Great Daikun who is the person in Charge of the Zeon Principality is killed by his own son. The Daugther of the Zabi family Kashira finds out that her brother has killed father and with this she plots revenge. Meanwhile the Federation forces and the White Base begin to take a stand against the Zabi family for the last time. An all out war breaks out in space with Amuro and the others trying to hold on for dear life. Kashira gives Char her most powerful mech that is at only 80% to do battle as for Char the only thing on his mind is revenge. So Kashira meets up with her brother and pretends to be co-operating. Meanwhile outside Amuro and Char have an all out final battle to see who is the better man. White base takes heavy hits and everyone is forced to abandon ship.

Well back in the base Kashira kills her brother taking over the operation, Char and Amuro continue there battle and both Gundam and Char's mech are destroyed so they do sword to sword combat in the base. Back outside the white base crew makes their attempt to escape by using a ship to flot out into space. Sayla Char's sister goes to look for Amuro and Char in an attempt to tell them they shouldn't be fighting each other. Meanwhile Kashira plans her escape and prepares a shuttle. Eventually Sayla meets up with the two and Char for some reason decides to leave the battle maybe realizing he has lost to Amuro. Sayla escapes saying her final goodbye to her brother, Amuro tries to get the remains of Gundam and Char goes to settle an old Grudge with the Zabi family. Char eventually meets up with Kashira's cruiser with a rocket launcher in hand and fires it killing her and ending the Zeon threat. Sayla escapes safely why amuro tries to fly the remnants of Gundam out to safety.

Sayla makes it out and everyone wonders what has happen to Amuro all the crew try to use their powers to find him. It isn't until the little kids start talking out loud that we realize that these three little kids are communicating with Amuro through telepathy. So in a grand exit Amuro escapes the base as it blows up and looks at his friends and says "I have a place to go home to" and crys. And so after that a epilouge in which we hear that in Universal Century 0080 a peace treaty between the Zion and Federation is sign. And so Ends the first Gundam show however the story is later continued in the Movie Char's Counterattack in which the story of the first gundam show is finally put to an official and true ending. Keep in mind that this Gundam show was based on the war in space. However another story taking place during the same time tells the story of how the war ended on earth which is Called Gundam 08th MS Team.
