Ep 33. The Messenger From Axis

The Messenger From Axis is the 33rd episode in the first season of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. As the title suggests, the episode revolves around the appearance of a messenger from Axis, the space fortress that serves as the headquarters for the Principality of Zeon.

The episode begins with the return of the Argama, the AEUG's flagship, to the colony of Green Noa. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by a Federation warship, the Alexandria, which delivers some urgent news. The Alexandria has intercepted a communication from Axis, which indicates that the Titans, who are now in complete control of the Earth Federation, are in negotiations with the Zeon remnants to form an alliance. This is a major threat to the AEUG, as it could mean that they would have to fight a two-front war against both the Titans and the Zeon remnants.

As the AEUG leaders discuss their options, they receive a surprise visit from a messenger from Axis. The messenger is Jamitov Hymem, the man who heads the Titans' intelligence division. Jamitov reveals that the negotiations with the Zeon remnants are progressing well and that they are close to forming an alliance. He warns the AEUG that they need to surrender immediately if they want to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the coming conflict.

However, the AEUG leaders are suspicious of Jamitov's true intentions. They know that he cannot be trusted, given his association with the Titans. They decide to hold him captive and interrogate him to find out what he really knows. During the interrogation, Jamitov reveals some shocking information. He tells them that the Titans have developed a new weapon, code-named Gryps, which is a mobile suit that is more powerful than any other in existence. The Gryps has the ability to operate both in space and on Earth, which makes it a formidable weapon in any battle. Jamitov claims that the Gryps will be used to crush the AEUG and anyone who stands in the way of the Titans.

The AEUG leaders realize that they are facing a dire situation. They cannot afford to let the Titans and the Zeon remnants form an alliance, and they need to find a way to stop the Gryps from being used against them. They decide to launch a mission to infiltrate Axis and destroy the Gryps before it is completed. Kamille and Char are chosen to lead the mission, along with some other members of the AEUG.

The mission is risky, as Axis is heavily guarded and the Gryps is under construction in a secret location. Kamille and Char manage to sneak into the space fortress with the help of a Zeon sympathizer named Paptimus Scirocco, who is also a member of Axis and the mastermind behind the Gryps project. However, once they reach the Gryps, they discover that it is far more powerful than they had expected. They realize that they cannot destroy it with conventional weapons.

Just as all hope seems lost, a strange event occurs. A beam of light appears in the sky, illuminating the area around the Gryps. In the midst of the light, Kamille has a strange vision. The vision seems to be of a young girl, who tells Kamille that he is the only one who can stop the Gryps. She tells him to use his Newtype abilities to destroy the Gryps from within.

Kamille suddenly realizes what he needs to do. He uses his Newtype powers to enter the Gryps and destroy it from the inside. The mission is successful, and Kamille and Char manage to escape Axis with their lives.

The Messenger From Axis is an intense episode that is full of political intrigue, battle scenes, and unexpected twists. It sets the stage for the final episodes of the season and leaves viewers eager to see how the conflict will be resolved.
