Amazon.com Feudal concepts of personal honor collide with cynical realpolitik as the 49-part saga of five heroic Mobile Suit pilots unfolds against the efforts of the Romefeller Foundation to control both Earth and the orbiting Space Colonies through their puppet military entity, OZ. After agonizing over the purity of their motives, Heero and Zechs duke it out in their Mobile Suits in the wastes of Antarctica. Relena arrives and denounces their duel as futile; she also discovers Zechs is really her long-lost brother. Zechs later loses his stylized helmet, which somehow shatters his bond to OZ leader Treize Marquis. Meanwhile, the merciless Lady Une instigates an elaborate scheme to convince the leaders of the Colonies that OZ has become a benevolent organization dedicated to peace. The leaders are taken in by her assumed charms and quickly fall into line with her plan. Une turns them against the Gundam Pilots and kidnaps the five mad scientist-engineers who created the Gundams. As prisoners, they're assigned to create even more powerful suits: Mercurius and Vayeate. Pilots Heero and Trowa use different strategies to infiltrate this operation and end up in direct conflict in a cliffhanger ending. Contains these episodes: 16. "The Sorrowful Battle," 17.
