At the port, Fa places Kamille in an ambulance and is about to leave when Judau and Yazan take her hostage. Shinta and Qum hide under the ambulance, and Judau searches the back and finds the vegetative Kamille. Kamille looks at him and holds out his hand, so Judau touches him and shares a strange Newtype experience with the comatose pilot. As they head for the Argama's dock, Yazan tells Judau they should have no trouble with the Argama's diminished crew. And despite being hardly armed with little more than vegetables and one Titan, Yazan proves to be right, as Judau is successfully able to steal the Zeta Gundam, but has trouble starting it up. But after Yazan kills Saegusa during the assault and reveals his true colors as a Titan, he activates the Zeta Gundam. Armed in only a Petite, Yazan attacks anyway, trying to get the Gundam himself. Unfortunately, Judau's control of the machine is poor, and they are forced into the colony. Abandoning the Petite as it is useless, Yazan boards a Middle mobile suit. Judau eventually pulls out a beam saber, but drops it, allowing Yazan to pick it up and gain the advantage, at least until Judau destroys the suit with forearm grenades and defeats Yazan. Afterwards, Bright is able to subdue the Zeta Gundam with a Petite and some wires, but Beecha and the rest of Judau's friends activate bombs. During this distraction, both Judau and Yazan manage to escape. In space, the Neo Zeon ship Endra sends a briefcase over to Shangri-La. | ||||

On board the Endra, Leina is looked after by Glemy, who attempts to teach her sophisticated manners, Chara plans another attack and launches, and Leina tries to escape only to be caught by Glemy, though he kindly tells her he will release her to Roux if she appears. Judau is confined to a room, but is once again freed by Elle and the two escapes with ZZ and the Gundam Mk II, unknowingly taking Beecha and Mondo with them. Soon enough the two encounter Gottn and Chara, the latter revealing her plan: an encasing web of bombs. As Judau and Elle battle them he lets it slip that Leina is his sister, which gives Gottn the idea to use her as a hostage. Glemy refuses to do so, but accepts when he mistakenly believes Roux to be piloting the Mk II, and so brings Leina to the bridge. Gottn threatens Leina’s life unless Judau surrenders, distressing Judau, but before any action can be taken Beecha and Mondo detach the core base from the ZZ, accidentally disabling Mondo’s unit, and thus saving Leina, but wind up stuck on the Endra. With everything gone wrong, Chara orders a retreat before Leina can be rescued; Emary Ounce, captain of the La Vie en Rose, is impressed with the piloting skills of both Judau and Elle and reaffirms that both of them are strong Newtypes.

They are rescued by Mondo and Rasara who reveals that Sarasa is her twin sister and that her real reason for wanting to escape Moon-Moon is because she has become unsatisfied with life in the colony and also wishes to end the wars plaguing the world, which she blames on machines. Sarasa and her cult are tricked into aligning themselves with the Endra and plan to give them the ZZ and the Argama in exchange for taking them off the colony, meanwhile Judau’s group rescues Bright, Emary, and Roux while also taking Chara as their prisoner. The group splits up to return to the Argama and recover the ZZ, and Rasara also plans to awaken the old mobile suit which is the cult’s god to prove that machines are not dangerous.

Glemy, having been radioed for help, arrives and saves Leina before Judau, while Rasara with Mondo’s help moves the old mobile suit, convincing Sarasa of her sisters’ point. The Endra crew, Beecha and Mondo included, flee and it is revealed that the cult elder, Role, tricked Sarasa into believing the cult’s ideology so that he could leave Moon-Moon out of his desire to see the rest of the galaxy, to which Judau scolds him for, as he would be throwing away a life of peace for a war torn galaxy.

Gottn and the remaining Endra crew members use it to launch a sneak attack on the Argama, against Glemy’s order, but are successful in invading the ship. While the Endra crew tries to capture the gundams, with Judau and the gang holding them off, Gottn holds Emary hostage to force Bright to surrender the Argama. Just then a Zeon soldier blasts open a hole in the Argama, causing Gottn and Emary to be launched into space, but are picked up by the Bawoo mobile suit. Judau launches in the ZZ and faces Gottn in the Bawoo, however with their mission now failed the rest of the Endra crew rushes out to the Bawoo, just before Judau opens fire. Seeing the soldiers Judau hesitates to take their lives, but Torres tells Judau to just fire as they are fighting a war, but in the commotion Judau sees Emary escape the Bawoo, and thus does not fire, saving Emary but letting the Zeon soldiers go.

The tide of the battle quickly shifts however, when the hidden Qubeley Mk II mobile suit reveals itself and gains the upper hand against the ZZ, the Zeta, and the Mk II using its funnels. Believing the pilot to be the leader of Neo Zeon, Haman Karn, Bright is left with no choice but to fire the new cannon to attempt to defeat her, however the blast misses the Qubeley and destroys and abandoned colony with great destructive power.

Elsewhere Judau meets Puru who, rather than capture him, is affectionate towards him, and Judau spends time with Puru who in turn agrees to take him to where Leina is; unaware that Leina had escaped from Glemy and met up with Beecha and Mondo. The trio hijacks a mobile suit to escape but realize they cannot as the suit has no hatch, while Judau and Puru reach Haman’s palace, alerting Haman to Judau’s strong newtype presence. Judau gets fed up with Puru and leaves to find Leina himself, but is confronted by Haman, whose strong and dark newtype powers disturb Judau. He manages to escape her thanks to the distraction caused by the mobile suit beecha was operating, though he fails to realize Leina was with Beecha, and thus escapes Axis in pursuit of a departing ship, believing Leina to be on board. He is caught by Puru in the Qubeley who wants to continue playing with him, revealing Leina is still in Axis, but is stopped by Iino who brings the other two core fighters.

For some reason, Judau escapes onto the boat during the money transfer, and becomes friends with the sailor, Teran. Unfortunately, he's unscrupulous about getting money to support him and his sister, and so leads the attack of an underwater squadron against the Ahgama. Judau tries to stop him, but fails.

Judau finds a woman in the desert who give him a bit of water, and says she'll lead him to the Oasis. However, they end up back where the MS are, and just in time, as Loux and Elle were going to bury Puru! She tells them to follow their shadows to get to the village where the water is. They do, but the villagers push them away. Judau and Puru go back to pick up the Core fighter, and see the woman go into a cave. It turns out, that she has a mobile suit, originally belonging to her dead husband. It is a Gelgoog S-type (which means her husband was an ace pilot), and although it is 8 years out of date, it gives the Hyaku Shiki, Mk-2 and Zeta a good fight until Judau shows up and combines to make the ZZ Gundam. Again, the pilot makes a final suicidal attack, but this time, Judau rescues her in time. The episode ends with her sitting in the corner of a burnt out building, with the village elder telling someone that her heart died with the mobile suit, and she'll never be the same again. | ||||

This episode continues where the last one left off. Inside the city, the battle is still raging, but the Core Fighter has been washed up onto the shore of an island. Puru and Mondo find it, and while Mondo goes to get the medicine, Puru leads away Leina. She ends up trying to kill Leina, saying that she already has a brother and a family, but she herself had nobody. Judau appears on the scene, and stops them fighting, saying that they're all siblings together. Puru seems to accept this, and offers to take care of Leina while Judau goes off to help his friends, who are valiantly defending them from Glemy forces. Judau gets the ZZ transformed, and also helps to defend the island against the reinforcements, Team August, several Dreissen suits, who don't seem to mind who they hit, friend or foe alike. Puru, realizes that Leina has a fever, and so goes to wet a handkerchief to cool her down. During the fight, Glemy's escort, a woman in a Dowadge gets shot down, with the suit landing straight onto where Lene laid half asleep. It bursts into flames. Team August is overwhelmed by the AEUG, and they retreat, as does Haman's flagship, which is under pressure by the returning Ahgama. Judau rushes to the burnt out hut where Lene was, but there is nothing remaining apart from a burnt out shoe. Both he and Puru weep, but Roux tells him that they should go, because reinforcements from the enemy will be there any minute, throwing the shoe into the inferno, and telling him not to let her death be in vain. Puru tries to console him, "In the future, I could be your Leina", but he pushes her aside, as she starts crying harder. | ||||

In the end, Puru realizes she can't replace Leina, but will try to be like a sister to him. He seems consoled, for the moment. In the MS deck, Beecha and Mondo argue with Roux, but then she runs off in the Core Fighter. On board the Axis command ship, Haman tells Glemy that she can handle the titans, and he should take care of the Kalaba Air Force before they can rendezvous with the AEUG.

Glemy escapes, only barely, but Roux blasts off and leaves him in the middle of the desert. Judau and the rest manage to fight off the other teams, but can't pursue, as they need to put out all the fires in the city nearby.

He talks to her for a while, but is distracted by the fight between the Blue Team and the AEUG outside. Roux walks off in disgust, and exits the city in a truck packed with containers of fuel. The fight eventually goes to the AEUG, and the Blue Team's leader's Gelgoog is shot down. Puru says she can feel Roux in the city (where she's just left), and tells Judau.

Judau chases after her to explain, but the ship soon comes under attack from a Zeon squadron, but after Judau calms Puru down, she deals with them and the Argama lands in a forest to conceal themselves. While Bright goes to meet the Federation leaders, the gundam team goes into town, except for Judau who decides to follow Bright. At the Federation mansion, Bright voices his disapproval of the Federation making a treaty with Haman, as it involved them giving her Side 3, the heart of Zeon. Bright argues that doing so will only encourage Haman to continue the war, but the Federation leaders say this will ensure peace as they have given back the Zeon capital, and also sneeringly remark that they will soon have the Argama decommissioned. Judau, who overheard everything, interrupts them and punches the head official for his disrespect of the Argama crew and their sacrifices as well as his foolishness in underestimating what a grave threat Haman is. As a result both Judau and Bright are imprisoned, just as the Zeon group that attacked the Argama earlier attack again, trying to smoke out the ship, killing some of the Federation officials in the process.

| 37 | "Nahel Argama" "Nēru Āgama" (ネェル·アーガマ) | Kiyoshi Egami | Akinori Endō | November 15, 1986 |
| It is revealed that since the colony drop was successful, Haman has returned to space, so the Argama crew does the same, leaving behind the Argama with Karaba. As they leave they are watched by some of their friends: a reunited Kamille and Fa, and, surprisingly, Bright’s old subordinate Sayla Mass accompanied by a very much alive Leina Ashta. In Space the crew reunites with the La Vie en Rose and sees their new ship the Nahel Argama. Judau and co explore their new ship, while Bright meets with his superior; both Bright and the crew, who were eavesdropping, are shocked to hear that the gundam team is to be decommissioned and Bright is to command the Nahel Argama with a new, more “professional” crew. Judau, Bright, and the crew adamantly refuse this as they have been through everything together and have proven themselves capable, but their accomplishments are denounced, with Judau and his friends being labeled as mere children. At that moment the Argama’s old enemy, Mashymre Cello, along with his new ship and subordinate Illia Pazom attack. Illia leads the attack to destroy the new Argama in her ReGelg, so the Argama crew launches the Nahel Argama to draw fire away from the Rose. A direct hit to the ship causes Shinta, Qum, and some new pilots to be ejected from the ship, so Bright launches in a small vessel to save them while Judau launches in the ZZ to deal with Illia. Illia’s fast mobile suit allows her to outmaneuver Judau, however they begin to react to each other’s Newtype powers distracting her long enough for Judau to successfully execute a sneak attack. Illia survives and captures Judau’s but his unorthodox strategy mixed with the continuous reaction of their Newtype powers, allows him to stall her long enough for Elle in the Mk II to damage her suit, forcing a retreat with the rest of her units. Back on board the Nahel Argama, the crew realizes that Bright has been through enough, and let him (along with Shinta, Qum, and Haro) stay with the La Vie en Rose, and they head out to face Haman, with Bright, believing in their skill and strength, wishes them luck and farewell. | ||||
