Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

Synopsis

Continues the story of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

In the era of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, the United Earth Sphere Alliance has maintained strict control over Earth and its space colonies for many generations. After the colonies attempted a revolt, their leader was killed. In the year After Colony 195, a group of defiant colonists initiates "Operation Meteor," dispatching five advanced mobile suits called "Gundams" to Earth. Built from the nearly indestructible Gundanium Alloy, these machines are meant to strike back against the Alliance and its subordinate organization OZ. During an aerial battle with OZ's top pilot, Zechs Marquise, one Gundam, piloted by an individual using the name Heero Yuy—the same as the late colony leader—crashes into the ocean. Upon reaching land, Heero meets Relena Peacecraft, the child of a peace-oriented political figure, who witnesses their arrival. Though neither realizes it at the time, this meeting will deeply affect both their lives and the future of Earth and the colonies.

In this installment

During the final moments of the Eve Wars, on December 24 of the year AC 195, the forces of the World Nation and White Fang clashed in a fierce battle. Treize Khushrenada, leader of the World Nation, was killed; Zechs Merquise, leader of White Fang, vanished; and Earth was spared from annihilation thanks to the five Gundam pilots' intervention. Having seen the devastation brought by war and hatred, the people of Earth and the space colonies set aside their conflicts and jointly established a new global government. Under this newly created Earth Sphere Unified Nation, a year of peace has passed. The government and citizens have disarmed, and nearly all remaining mobile suits have been scrapped. Choosing to do the same, Gundam pilots Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, and Quatre Raberba Winner load their powerful mobile suits into an asteroid and launch them on a one-way trip toward the sun. Yet even as they say goodbye to their Gundams, a new conflict is approaching.
