Gundam Wing Episode 25


Trowa and Heero continue to try to talk some sense into Quatre. They both argue that what he's doing will not help, or will hurt the cause they all were fighting for, but Quatre is not persuaded by any of their arguments.

At the Moon base, oxygen levels are very low in the prison cells. Most of the scientists have passed out and Wu Fei has put himself into a trance so that he'll use less oxygen. Duo fights off unconsciousness, vowing that he can't die, for the colonies and for the gundam.

On Earth, Treize appears before the Romefeller Foundation and says that he does not agree with the direction the Foundation is taking OZ (especially the mobile doll program.) He talks about how pale the traditions of Romefeller look in the face of the gundam pilots' passion for what they're doing. Finally, he states that, although history might see the gundam pilots as defeated warriors, he now wants to become a defeated warrior, too. Duke Dermail has him put under house arrest at the Romefeller HQ in Luxembourg.

Back at the colony Quatre is threatening, Heero refuses to move aside from the colony and Quatre shoots the beam rifle at him. But Trowa races in front of the blast in Vayeate, which is so damaged it's core is about to explode. This action seems to bring Quatre back from the madness he's been in. As Trowa moves the now-dangerous Vayeate away from the other two, he talks to Quatre about how their jobs have been made useless since the colonies have decided to arm themselves and make an alliance with OZ. Vayeate finally explodes and Trowa is thrown, unconscious, into space and floats away from the wreakage. Heero pins a frantic Quatre in a hangar on the colony and tells him he is responsible for Trowa's death, before collapsing from the ordeal of the fight. Quatre now is fully back in charge of his faculties and comes out of Wing to help Heero.

Back at the Moon base, Une returns and blasts her way in to the now-hostile base. She gets to the control room and, with Tsubarov threatening to kill her, she opens the doors to the prison cells, saying it's something both she and Treize want. Tsubarov makes good on his threat and shoots her through the heart.

At the end of the episode, we hear Lady Une saying that the pilots are doing something good that will be recognized. As she lies on the floor of the control room, alive or dead we don't know, she asks the gundam pilots to let her love them, too.
