Ep. 25: Argama pilots cross desert while Rommel platoon ambushes with customized Zakus and Dowadge
Aired on August 23, 1986
MS pilots depart the Argama to navigate the desert, encountering the Desert Rommel platoon that has waited eight years since the One Year War. Led by a captain piloting a customized Dowadge, a dozen fighters in modified desert Zakus ambush the Zeta Gundam. Judau is aided by the ZZ, Hyaku-Shiki, and Mark II, who systematically eliminate the troops. The captain, unable to accept that his eight years of training were defeated by a boy, launches a final suicidal attack. Both he and his mobile suit are destroyed, leaving Judau confused by the captain's willingness to die.
