Plot Overview
Set in the year A.C. 196, where humanity has succeeded in eliminating all military forces as a step toward world peace, the story begins with former Gundam pilots, who now intend to dispose of their Gundams in the sun. However, peace is short-lived as a new military force, claiming to be led by Mariemaia, the daughter of the once-great national leader Treize Khushrenada, declares war on Earth.

Only one pilot, Wufei, refuses to abandon his Gundam and initially allies himself with Mariemaia. As tensions escalate, others begin to reconsider their stance, with Quatre vowing to recover the Gundam he had intended to dispose of. Simultaneously, members of the secretive organization Preventers, including Lady Une, Noin, and Sally, work tirelessly to maintain peace, ultimately converging on a confrontation with Mariemaia’s forces.

As hope dims, Quatre returns with four Gundams just in time to reinvigorate the fight, with Heero piloting the powerful Wing Gundam Zero, spreading its wings toward victory.
