Ep 3. Vote To Attack

In episode 3 of Mobile Suit Gundam season 1, titled "Vote To Attack", tensions rise among the crew of the spaceship White Base as they must make a difficult decision on whether or not to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's military base.

The episode opens with a flashback to the earlier stages of the war, in which the enemy Zeon forces used a similar tactic to destroy a large portion of the Federation's fleet. This puts pressure on the White Base crew to take immediate action, despite the potential risks and casualties that could come with an attack.

Meanwhile, Amuro struggles with his own emotional turmoil as he tries to come to terms with the reality of war and the consequences of his actions. He is still adjusting to his new role as the pilot of the Gundam, a powerful mobile suit that gives him unparalleled strength on the battlefield, but also puts a target on his back as the enemy sees him as a threat.

As the crew prepares for the vote on whether or not to attack, tensions continue to simmer among the various factions on board. The civilian refugees, who were taken aboard the ship after their colony was destroyed, express concern about the potential danger and loss of life that could come with an attack. The military members, on the other hand, argue that it is necessary to strike first in order to gain a strategic advantage.

Ultimately, a vote is held and the decision is made to launch the attack. The White Base crew scrambles to prepare their mobile suits and weapons, and tensions rise even higher as they approach the enemy base. The scene is tense as both sides prepare for battle, with the Federation forces hoping to catch the Zeon off guard and strike a decisive blow, while the Zeon are prepared to defend their base to the last man.

The action ramps up as the two sides engage in a massive battle, with the mobile suits flying through the air and blasting each other with laser fire. The White Base crew struggles to hold their own against the enemy's powerful forces, but their determination and skill ultimately allow them to come out on top.

As the episode comes to a close, the White Base crew celebrates their victory, but the cost of war is not lost on them. Amuro in particular is haunted by the sight of the enemy pilots he had to kill in order to emerge victorious, and the realization that he will likely have to continue to fight and kill in order to survive this brutal conflict. The crew's future is uncertain, but for now, they can take comfort in the fact that they have survived another dangerous encounter and come out victorious.
