Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

U.C. 0068 - While giving his speech to declare the Autonomous Republic of Munzo's independence from the Earth Federation, Zeon Zum Deikun suddenly dies of a heart attack. This causes mass riots in the colony against the Federation while Degwin Zabi, Deikun's former adviser, rises to power. In the midst of the chaos, Deikun's children Casval and Artesia, along with their pet cat Lucifer and Deikun's old friend Jimba Ral, stow away aboard a cargo ship headed for Earth to escape from the Zabi regime.

Three years have passed since Casval, Artesia, and Jimba fled to Earth and sought refuge in the castle of Don Teabolo Mass in Andalusia, Spain; Teabolo adopts the children and renames them Édouard and Sayla, respectively. After Jimba is killed in an attack by armed men hired by Kycilia Zabi, the Yashima Group offers to relocate an injured Teabolo and the children to Texas Colony of Side 5: Loum. Upon their arrival, the children meet Char Aznable, who bears a striking resemblance to Édouard. Tragedy strikes the children when they receive word that their mother Astraia has passed away. After Lucifer dies, Édouard bids farewell to Sayla before heading to the Loum military academy. Meanwhile, Dozle Zabi invites Ramba Ral to participate in a top secret project that will change the face of Zeon's military forever.
