Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing:
Endless Waltz Movie
A Long and Thorough Summary

Endless Waltz begins
on AC 195, Christmas Eve. Images of the final battle in space with the
White Fang Colony and the Earth's government appear. The five Gundams are
attacking the mobile dolls, etc. The narrator explains that the year is
now After Colony 196. The scene changes to Sally Po (Codename: Water) commenting
on an object in space containing Neo-Titanium. Confusion is expressed on
her face. The Heavy Arms, Wing Zero, Sandrock, and Deathscythe are being
loaded into 'hangar block' and sent to the sun along with a scrap satellite.
However, Wu-fei did not bring his to be sent to the sun. Duo and Quatre
are there to send the Gundams off. On Endo, Noin and Lady Une take part
in an end-of-the-year celebration during Christmas. The president stands
behind a podeum, making a speech on peace between the Colonies and Earth.
Lady Une and Noin turn to leave after making remarks regarding the president's
low budget on the preventer's group, a military group led by Lady Une.
Sally Po (in space) communicates with Noin, who is in Edo. Sally Po voices
her opinions on how someone may be making Neo-Titanium. They discuss on
whether it could be used to make a New Mobile Suit. Sally Po only says
that they may have to stop this manufacturer.
Relena Peacraft, now
the Vice Foreign Prime Minister, is sent to colony L3-X18999. The representatives
there ask for Relena to stay and help. However, Relena takes a sip of tea
and falls unconcious. Suddenly, men in red coats and yellow tries rush
in and are given orders to take Relena away. A short scene introducing
Mariemeia and Dekim comes on.
Meanwhile, in the circus,
Catharine and Trowa see a handful of men standing in the stands, wearing
black. Trowa disappears to 'take care of them' while also finding out that
they are from the 'Barton Group'. Trowa thinks back to when Heavyarms was
still in making, and how a man brought him (calling him "no name") aside
and showed him a picture of a little girl, Mariemeia. The man explains
how she, his niece, will become the ruler.
Heero, in front of a
computer, checks up information on the Bartons. Duo comes in, commenting
on Heero working on Christmas. Heero promptly ignores the comment, walking
out the door saying that Relena had been kidnapped. Duo comments on Heero's
"crush."
On Colony L3-X18999
Dekim, standing in front of many men in red uniforms and grey/blue uniforms,
expresses the need to help Mariemeia-sama reach her goal. The man finds
Trowa hiding in the group. Trowa jumps up to the man and tries to kill
him, only to find Wu-fei challenging him with a sword, ordering him to
stop.
Noin (Codename: Fire)
is communicating to Sally Po through a screen reagrding the Colony L3-X18999
receiving Neo-Titanium and declaring independence. Sally Po explains how
the leader is Mariemeia Barton. Not only is it too late to stop them, they
have captured Relena and will declare independence soon.
Relena awakens to be
greeted by a small girl with orange hair. She introduces herself as Mariemeia
Kushrenada, the daughter of Trieze Kushrenada. Relena expresses her surprise
in this news, only to be ordered by Mariemeia to stop making rude comments
about her plans to take over earth and her rightful heritage. Mariemeia
also refuses to tell Relena why she has brought her here.
Quatre talks to Duo
about going to catch up to the satellite and retrieving the Gundams. Quatre
and his team are trying to catch up to the Gundams by taking a separate
route, finding out the Gundams are still needed. Duo tells him to go ahead
but be careful about it. Duo and Heero fly off to the new colony while
Quatre and his group follows the satellite to intercept the Gundams flying
to the sun. (New footage that was not in the OAVs)
Duo thinks about how
he tried to explode and destruct his Gundam once. However, he was unable
to because his scientist fixed It so he couldn't. Duo explains how he was
going to kill the scientist and himself after Deathscythe destructed. The
scientist tells him that he should instead steal the Gundam since it is
such a piece of art and would be a waste to destroy. Heero, not listening
dreams back of one of his missions that he actually messed up. During the
mission, he meets an innocent young girl with a small dog who talks to
him for a little while. Then, come night, Heero explodes an area filled
with mobile suits. However, one suit accidentally falls on a civilian building,
coincidentally the one where the young girl lived. Astonished, he runs
to the building and watches it burn while he is unable to do anything.
Heero walks there to see that the small dog is dead in the snow and possibly
the girl too. (A picture of the teddy bear in the TV opening scene is also
in the snow) Heero picks up the dog and a conversation between Dr. J and
someone else is heard in the background. They fight over how the real Heero
Yuy would not have wanted to kill everyone in the world to achieve peace.
Duo wakes Heero up telling him that Mariemeia is going to make an announcement.
Duo points to the screen, just as Mariemeia makes her speech. The Colony
is declaring independence and also war on Earth. She introduces herself
as Mariemeia Kushrenada, and will try to continue what her father started.
Noin and Sally Po voices
their confusion when Marimeya says that she is Trieze's daughter. A man
calls Lady Une, berating her on how she let this happen on one of the colonies.
Lady Une argues how she may not be able to do much, only to be hung up
by the man earlier. A man with long, blond hair comes out. Lady Une gasps
almost saying his name. He says that his codename is 'Wind'. (Suspicously
looks/sounds like Zechs Merquise/Miliardo Peacraft)
Heero and Duo converse
about how they are going to get into Colony X-18999 and steal a mobile
suit. Sally Po and Noin get a signal that another ship is coming towards
L3, only to find that it is Duo and Heero. Duo slightly ignores them, telling
them to not be late of the "cake." Noin and Sally Po decide to distract
L3 while Duo and Heero maneuver into the base.
Duo drops 'boxes' of
missiles, which open up to seek and explode the enemy attacking them. Duo
hurls the shuttle at them and uses a small red ship, fly into an opening...or
rather…crashes into an opening. They find mobile suits and separate. Noin
and Sally Po leave, confident in Duo and Heero's success.
While back at the colony,
Duo and Heero force there way in with stolen mobile suits. Duo is greeted
by Trowa in a mobile suit, and Heero must get past Wu-fei, who is in his
Shenlong Gundam. Heero tells Wufei to self-destruct and stop fighting.
Not listening, he continues to fight. Duo tells Trowa to stop but Trowa
says that he is not Trowa. Trowa repeats that he is not Trowa but Duo says,
"so this is the end..?"
Trowa explains that
he got the name from someone else. His scientist and another man is arguing
with the real Trowa Barton about operation meteor. Trowa says that it is
not a plan to avenge the real Heero Yuy. The other man, not the scientist
kills Trowa. Our Trowa AKA No-Name tells them that he would resist if they
kill him, but since he has no name, he'll take the dead man's name and
Heavy Arms, a Gundam he particularly likes. The scientist reluctantly agrees
and gives him the name Trowa Barton. Trowa explains that he has no interest
in the colonies and Operation Meteor.
Back at the missiles
coming at Duo, they miss him intentionally and blind Wufei with smoke.
Heero is saved from turning to mincemeat. Duo flies out of his suit and
goes into the colony.
Quatre explains how
he must intercept with the satellite outside of the ship he is in with
his team. They heartily disagree and explain that they will give up their
life for him. However, Quatre ends up going by himself because he insists
that their lives are very important… Sandrock taught him that.
Noin and Sally Po find
out that the real ship sent from the Colony X-18999 actually somewhere
else. However, they may be too late.
Lady Une looks out into
the sky at the quiet Earth people who do not realize the Danger they are
in.
Quatre remember how
his scientist has explained to him the self-destruct button and what it
is to be used for. Not only is it to be used to keep the Gundam as a secret,
but also for another reason which the scientist does not explain. The orders
come and the scientist tells Quatre that they are proceeding with Operation
Meteor. The scientist thinks of how kind and pure Quatre is…and this operation
may make him test himself even more.
Relena explains to Mareimeia
about the stupidity of trying to fight earth. Mariemeia explains how she
will not tolerate rudeness from Relena.
Heero and Duo talk about
being worried about Dekim and Mariemeia.
Quatre attempts the
five second contact with the satellite. He must cling on to a rope and
drag himself onto the satellite while his team leaves him. (see why they
wanted to go themselves?) Smacking onto the side of hard surface, he is
luckily still intact. He tells them good luck and continues into the satellite.
He greets Sandrock
Dekim is in a ship near
the earth and says that he will drop the Serpents (a MS) onto earth. He
explains that even if the Preventers go to where he is, they cannot catch
up with him, he has fooled them. However, a Tallgeese approaches the ship
-- it is Zechs Merquise/ Preventer Wind. Zechs tells Dekim to stop fighting.
However, Dekim says not only are dropping Mobile Suits a way to take over
earth, but so is dropping Colony X-18999.
Wufei comes towards
the earth, muttering about justice while Relena shakes Mariemeia, telling
her that dropping the colony will kill many million of people. Mariemeia
tells Relena coldly that she will become the leader of all the colonies
and earth if Queen Relena who supports the colonies asks her to.
Quatre flies back to
Earth with the rest of the Gundams and tries to send a message to Heero
and Duo.
Trowa, on the computer,
waits for Heero and Duo to get to him. He needs help breaking a code. They
try to break through the computer to stop the dropping of the colony at
all. Trowa explains that he only joined this group to get inside. Duo asks
if Wufei is doing this also, but Heero explains that Wufei never does things
simply.Zechs powers up to try to fry the ship with Dekim in it. Too late,
Zechs explodes the extra rock Serpents after Dekim leaves safely. Quatre
explains that he is here with the Gundams and they will get here soon.
Heero explains that he needs a favor from Duo, he wants to get to the Wing
Zero in space instead of somewhere else, it would be faster. Heero explains
that he needs another favor, to please smack him. Duo happily agrees but
Heero smack him back, one hit for another. Duo falls on the floor and Heero
pretend to be hurt. Trowa explains how he has caught the two. Heero runs
off and gets to his Gundam while.
Noin sees Zechs sitting
in his Tallgeese, flipping through a book. She explains to him that she'll
be by his side forever. The narrator explains what has been happening.
The Wing Zero is loaded
out with Heero in coming towards it in his little shuttle. Last Impression
plays…
Trowa throws Duo into
a cell. Relena and Mariemeia watch everyone assemble on earth.
Heero sees Wing Zero
approaching him. He enters it and a huge elaborate show of Zero unfolding
happens….
Looking out the window,
Relena thinks of Heero. Suddenly, the house she is in tucks itself underground.
They are protecting themselves from an attack.
Mariemeia explains the
irony of having all this protection even though there is peace everywhere.
She explains how close she is to establishing her rule.
Wufei thinks about how
his people wished to give away the Shenlong to Operation Meteor. Wufei
wants to fight and flies to earth. He brings himself out of his memories
to see Heero approaching. Heero tells Wufei to move away. Wufei blabs about
how honor and justice is what he Is fighting for, and all the soldiers.
People are all held
together in a small room by Mariemeia's group. Someone in a red outfit
like the group is spreading around sleeping gas. It is Sally Po. (this
excerpt was not there in the OAVs)
Duo breaks out of his
jail cell. He tells Trowa that he should help him out. Trowa explains that
he isn't waiting for him, but for someone else. Sally says that she is
glad Duo saved her some cake (response to his earlier joke). However, Duo
replies very arrogantly that if it was a joke, it was really pathetic…and
if she was sarcastic, it was even more pathetic! They fly off.
Heero and Wufei are
still fighting. Heero is telling Wufei to give it up. Wufei will not and
continues to explain his motives. Wufei says that he is still fighting
Trieze but Heero says that he isn't. Heero finally explains how if peace
is not achieved, then more people would be killed.
Zechs and Noin, in mobile
suits, are standing near Mariemeia's base. Zechs explains that if they
do not stop her, another Zechs Peacecraft will be created. Noin explains
that she will not leave Zechs but will wait for him definitely.
Wufei explains that
he doesn't like Relena Peacecraft's idea of peace and no war and battles.
Heero explains that history will be repeated. Heero thinks of killing the
girl and asks Wufei how many little girls and puppies must he kill…he explains
that Zero never answered his question. Falling into the sea, Heero asks
him if this is what he wants. Wufei realizes that history will repeat,
that like his colony that exploded, many others will lose their loved ones.
Quatre, Trowa, and Duo
enter their Gundams and come down to Earth where Mariemeia is.
A brief flash of Mariemeia
talking about her great base appears. A little girl asks her grandfather
why there is still fighting if there is supposed to be peace. He explains
that things can never be peaceful like they should…etc
Zechs, not wanting to
kill any of those fighting to protect their base, is having a hard time
stopping them. Quatre appears to help them on their venture. The rest of
them come and explain how these guys who are here fighting are used to
getting smacked around, and similar to how they were when they were first
pilots. Dekim sees the Gundams fighting and Mariemeia comments on her powerful
base. Relena runs to the intercom and sends a short message to earth on
how they should not give up hope. Dekim stops her speech while she's just
finishing her sentence. Relena says that her last name isn't Peacecraft,
she isn't required to keep peace forever in this world, but to prevent
others from such movements.
Dorothy appears and
speaks to the people about how the Gundams are not destroying the peace
but are maintaining it. She tells them to look at the Gundams on the screen.
(this excerpt was not there in the OAVs)
Scenes of the Gundams
fighting appear. The colonists watch them fighting for them and not killing
the others. They realize that the Gundams aren't here to destroy them.
They all support Relena and the peace. Rallied, they ride towards the action
in trucks. (this excerpt was not there in the OAVs)
All of the pilots are
seen fighting the other Mobile suits. Heero, at the bottom of the ocean
sits without moving. Wing Zero turns on and begins to move. Surprised,
he wakes up and lifts himself from the ocean. Propelling himself up, he
gets out of the ocean and towards the action. Zechs tells them to retreat.
It is pointless to keep trying. They are slowing running out of ammo. Unsure
of what to do, they try other methods. Relena speaks to Dekim about trying
to maintain peace but the Gundams, as Mariemeia, have stopped fighting.
(this excerpt was not there in the OAVs)
Suddenly, Heero appears
with a nice large gun in his Wing Zero's hands. Heero appears on the screen
telling them that he will shoot them. Heero replies that if they don't
surrender, they will shoot. Dekim says that they should release the Serpents
to destroy him. Shooting once again, Mariemeia explains that Heero must
be insane. Dekim tries to explain that Relena is in the base with them.
Heero shoots again, and his Wing Zero basically crumbles. Pushing them
to safety, Lady Une saves them. She explains that she must save Trieze's
daughter no matter what. The colonists shout at the people in the MS that
they want peace. Surprised, the MS stop fighting immediately. The fighting
is over.
Lady Une explains that
the people love peace and no longer fear the Gundams. Heero hopes out of
his tattered Gundam into the broken down base. Dekim calls Mariemeia to
him and she says that she will be the victor. Stopping her with a slap
at the same time Lady Une tries to slap her, Relena tells her to stop following
his order. Unafraid of death, Relena tells Dekim to go ahead and shoot.
Dekim shoots Mariemeia who gets in front of Relena. Telling them that Mariemeia
can be replaced, he tries to shoot Relena only to be shot himself by one
in red uniform. Heero tries to shoot Mariemeia but no bullet comes out.
He explains that he has killed Mariemeia (maybe the symbol she stands for?)
and will kill no more. He drops the gun and falls to the ground right after
Relena catches him. "Heero…" she says.
Everyone drops their
guns into a pile and the Mobile suits and Serpents they used are burned
up. Wufei watches with the colonists. (this excerpt was not there in the
OAVs)
Duo, Trowa and Quatre
destruct the Gundams. Trowa says that he isn't Trowa anymore, but they
disagree since a name is just something that everyone calls you. Trowa
reluctantly agrees. Wufei joins the Preventers with Sally Po who asks him
since Zechs and Noin have flown off. Noin and Zechs are in a shuttle and
he asks her if she really wants to follow. She asks him not to make her
repeat herself. The narrator explains that no more Gundams and MS were
ever seen again.
The ending scenes include:
Mariemeia with Lady
Une watching the graveyard.
Duo and Hirde are eating
lunch. (this excerpt was not there in the OAVs; she was handing him a file
in the OAVs)
Quatre and his team
working together (Rasid specifically).
Trowa and Catherine
Bloom are in the circus.
Watching an explosion,
Wufei and Sally Po are in a jeep.
Zechs and Noin playing
chess up in space.
Relena attending a speech
looking at the sky at the same time Heero, walking in a street, is.
(this excerpt was not
there in the OAVs. Not quite as cute as him staring at her making her speech
and then disappearing, like in the OAVs… oh well.)
