9 months after the start of the One Year War, The Earth Federation detects a group of Zakus from the Principality of Zeon, lead by Char Aznable, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Side 7, initiating an evacuation order to White Base. Meanwhile, one of the colonies residents, a mechanic named Amuro Ray and his partner Frau Bow, plan on leaving the colony, but are eventually caught in a crossfire in an emergency shelter. Willing to take risks to help the civilians, Amuro goes out to find his father, who plans to utilize his latest creations, the mobile suits, to overpower the Zeon troops and end the war for good. However, upon witnessing an explosion caused by a hijacked federation missile car, he inadvertently stumbles across a manual containing combat intel on one of the mobile suits: The Gundam. With the situation becoming bleaker than ever, along with Frau Bow’s mother being killed while attempting to flee, Amuro is forced to pilot the Gundam as his last resort. Using the manual’s instructions, he manages to defeat the Zakus easily, despite several struggles.
