The final battle is here! The epic spinoff of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN concludes in this moving, action-packed volume. Vasily reunites with Calca and Hjal Mar for the decisive battle of A Baoa Qu, their showdown with the implacable Black Gundam playing out against a backdrop of chaos as the Zeon leadership turns against itself. Such matters of state mean little to the confused soldiers on the frontlines, however, forcing the question: What is worth fighting for? Love? Family? Comrades? The revelation of the truth behind Cucuruz Doan’s desertion provides one answer, at least, and brings much-needed solace to his former unit as the war finally comes to an end…

The war goes from bad to worse for Zeon, and as the front lines move into outer space, the recollections of the Y-02 unit’s former members bring us closer to the truth of Cucuruz Doan’s desertion…

Years before the White Base landed on Earth, the seeds of war were planted in a space colony called Side-3. Here the Munzo Empire''s great philosopher Chairman Zeon Deikun would prepare a declaration before an assembly of senators, but before finishing his speech would fall victim to a sudden attack on the parliament''s dais. Almost instantly, on the streets, the masses have risen calling for independence and have set protests in front of Earth Federation headquarters on Side-3. The calls for Earthnoids to return to their planet eventually would push the Federation to take up arms hoping to combat these riots. The hostilities pit men versus tanks on the streets of this colony and appear to not be letting up. Meanwhile, Deikun''s family, including his children Artesia and Casval, are soon taken into hiding by a Zeon loyalist—Ramba Ral.

Lead by the Commander of North American Earth Forces, Captain Garma Zabi, a fleet of aircraft is preparing to lay siege on the Federation ship with ambitions to capture its new Mobile Suit. But before the Zeon make their move in the American desert, an old acquaintance of Garma''s has arrived. Lt Char Aznable, known on the field of combat as The Red Comet, followed the White Base from space and is here to on a reconnaissance mission to gain information on the Federation''s new suit. To prove his worth, Garma engages the Feds soon after his brief reunion. The results were not ideal. In fact, the Federation may have found new weapons for their defense in the process. And Garma, who led the charge himself, was fortunate to survive this first confrontation. Now with the White Base heading towards South America, and word of an insurgence movement developing, Garma must find a way to quash the Federation''s plans...There is no turning back!
