Victory Gundam Ep. 30: Mother’s Gundam

In the middle of a battle, Uso has a flashback of his mother Myra teaching him how to throw a knife at a target. The V2 Gundam is then attacked by several Zoloats, but Uso destroys them with his beam rifle. Lupe and Katejina attack with their Gedlavs and Einerads, and Uso wants to get away from them so he can see his mother. He flies around Katejina and momentarily confuses her with his wings of light. He then unleashes several mini laser pods and draws Katejina and Lupe into a trap. Marbet and Oliver assist him in battle before retreating to the Reineforce Junior. Since the ship is damaged it has to land on the Moon’s surface to hide from the Zanscare. Uso thanks Marbet for her help before returning to the White Ark. Elsewhere, the Motorad fleet hides in one of the canyons on the Moon’s surface. Cronicle meets with Pippiniden and Duker to discuss testing the Motorad fleet’s land roving abilities. Duker says they won’t know for sure until they land on Earth, and Cronicle leaves Pippiniden in charge of conducting tests on the Moon. Uso acts as the White Ark‘s guard as it approaches the city of St. Joseph. He spots a light signal which is coming from Karel’s truck. He tells Uso and the others that their contact in the League Militaire factory wants them to use another entrance since the White Ark can’t approach the city. Everyone transfers over to Karel’s truck and enters St. Joseph. After being cleared at the entrance they get on the highway and head for the factory. A black car sideswipes them and a woman jumps out of it. Uso takes control of the truck because he wants to chase her. The woman runs into an alley and is cornered by several men who begin to punch her. Uso jumps out of the truck and drop kicks one of them while Odelo, Flanders and Haro attack the others. Shahkti runs out to help the woman and sees that it is Myra. Everyone boards the truck and quickly escapes. Uso sees that it really is his mother, and Myra asks him why he is in St. Joseph. They drive to Myra’s apartment, and she explains that those men were Zanscare’s secret police. Odelo tells Uso to stay behind and take a break while everyone else heads to the factory. Uso and Myra hug, and she apologizes for leaving him alone on Earth.

Myra explains to Uso that she had to leave him behind so that she could take the Victory Gundam‘s plans to the Moon. Though she had heard that the Victory Gundam’s pilot was a kid, she was very surprised to see that it was Uso. He tells her it was tough at first and he was scared when the first docked in combat. He recalls that battle with Cronicle. He tells Myra that he hates not knowing what he’s doing. He says that what Zanscare does goes too far. He remembers when Fuala had Oi Nyung executed back on Earth. Uso knows that the guillotine was used as a stage act centuries ago, and he wonders why people from the space colonies use it. He asks Myra what the purpose was of the Victory Gundam, and she tells him it was designed to destroy the guillotine. He wonders if that’s a coincidence, and she says it isn’t. He recalls his first battle with Duker’s Gattarl squad when he took over a Core Fighter from Marbet and fought off the bikes by himself. Myra is amazed that Uso can pilot the Victory Gundam, but she says it’s no coincidence. She tells him that on the night he was born she saw a light that indicated to her he would be a Newtype. He wonders if that’s really possible, and she tells him it is because he’s survived through so many battles. Uso recalls when he used his para glider to jump off a ruined building and take over Marbet’s Core Fighter. He recalls forming up the Victory Gundam and single-handedly taking on a squad of attacking Tomliats and destroying them. Uso falls asleep on Myra’s lap, and she holds him. She thinks he must be hurting a lot, but she is too. She thinks human being have great potential. She tells Uso she is sorry that he ended up becoming a guinea pig and testing the Victory Gundam. Myra then takes Uso to bed so that he can sleep.
