#1 - Assault on the Point of No Return

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Season 1 - Episode 12

Kou and Gato, now in their mobile armors, finally take each other on as the Albion crew tries to stop the colony before it passes the minimum limit for terminal entry. Cima's crew takes Delaz hostage aboard his flagship, the Gwaden. At Jaburo, General Kowen desperately tries to convince EFSF supreme commander Gen Gene Collini of mobilizing the military's full might to stop the colony, but Jamitov Hymem has Kowen taken away. Delaz discovers that the Federation has deployed the Solar System II mirror array past the terminal entry point and encourages Gato to see the operation through - before Cima kills him. Out of rage, Gato drives one of the Neue Ziel's claws at the Gwaden bridge.

#2 - A Storm Raging Through

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Season 1 - Episode 13

The battle to stop the colony goes full-blast, with the Federation and Cima's forces working together to protect the Solar System II on one hand and the Delaz fleet shepherding the colony on the other while the Axis Advance Fleet stands back. Kou kills Cima in the fracas. The Solar System II fires, but Gato destroys the command ship, resulting in a weaker blast that barely damages the colony. As it breaks through the solar array, Gato enters the colony and inputs the final course corrections. Kou tries to stop him, but Nina interferes and protects Gato as they leave, revealing that they were once lovers. The two pilots continue to fight after Gato has Karius bring Nina to safety. The Solar System II remnants fire again, with many forces on both sides destroyed as the colony crashes into the Midwest. The Federation orders the Axis Advance Fleet to leave the Earth Sphere immediately, having overstayed their welcome, but Gato leads the Delaz Fleet survivors to attempt a breakthrough and dies in a kamikaze attack on a Federation ship. Several weeks later, Hymem and Bask Om announce the creation of the Titans. All records of Operation Stardust and the GDP are erased, including Kou's one-year hard labour sentence. He eventually reunites with Nina, Keith, and Mora.

#4 - Colliding War Zones

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Season 1 - Episode 10

Too late to save Konpei, Kou nevertheless engages Gato in combat and they end up destroying both Gundams. As Uraki ejects, he finds Gato waiting for him and Gato tells him he will never forget his name again before flying off. Kou escapes to Keith's mobile suit and they head back to Albion. Nina is upset and Kou thinks it is because he lost both Unit 1 and 2, but it's something else... Later, Synapse calls both of them in to discuss the situation and reveals that there is a third Gundam, Unit 3, on the Anaheim ship called La Vie En Rose. In the meantime, Cima's fleet destroys a mirror on each of two abandoned space colonies. The Albion gets the report on the hijacked space colonies and realize that because the colonies are now out of balance with their mirrors destroyed, they will eventually collide, sending one colony flying into the moon.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Season 1 - Episode 7

Unit 1 is finally fitted for space and Keith suggests to Kou that he take Nina out on a date before they depart, giving him a pair of movie passes. At Kelly's home, Cima's henchman Kult shows up with payment for the Val Varo, the mobile armor Kelly worked on, and reveals that Kelly will not be allowed to fight because he only has one arm. Kou goes to ask Nina out and she sees the tickets, but he chickens out and she gets mad and decides to go home. Kelly goes and takes off in the Val Varo and announces to the Albion that he wants to fight the Gundam. Kou launches to meet him out on the moon's surface and they realize for the first time that they truly were destined to fight one another. Nina hears the warning announcement and runs off to the scene of the battle where it is revealed that Kelly knows her as well. Kou defeats Kelly and urges him to escape, but Kelly points out that he didn't install an escape system. The Val Varo explodes, killing Kelly, as Kou and Nina embrace. The Albion then heads out to find the Delaz Fleet.
