Ep. 22: Judau Launches as the Argama Enters Earth Orbit Under Threat
Aired on August 2, 1986
The Argama orbits Earth, receiving Quattro Bajeena’s Hyaku-shiki while AEUG orders the ship to destroy the Sandra. Beecha and Mondo propose attaching bombs to the ZZ to protect it and rescue Leina, but the crew mocks Judau’s hero complex. Haman orders the Sandra to cease Minovsky particle broadcasts and await the Argama. A pilot in the Dreissen attacks the Argama, while Haman escorts Judau to Leina, claiming they are similar Newtypes. She attempts to kiss him before guards intervene. The Endra launches a suicide run that the Argama evades. The Dreissen captain orders a fleet reunion while engaging Judau. With assistance from the Gundam Mk2 and Zeta Gundam, Judau defeats the Dreissen, though its pilot ejects before destruction.
