Gundam 0083 takes place after Gundam 0080, but before Z Gundam.

Under the command of former Zeon Colonel Aiguille Delaz, the fleet's goal is to rebuild Zeon. Their ace pilot Major Anavel Gato steals the Gundam GP02, a nuclear equipped model in development by the Federation. Lieutenant Kou Uraki pilots the Gundam GP01, the only one left, in an attempt to stop Gato and recover the stolen Gundam before a new war begins.

Characters
Kou Uraki: Kou starts out as a regular test pilot for new advances in Mobile Suit technology at Federation's Torrington Base. He is very interested in mobile suits and technology behind them. He is also a superb pilot; able to fend off the more experienced Anavel Gato when he steals the Gundam Unit 2. Despite some of his fellow pilots' objections, He becomes the pilot of the new Gundam Unit 1 (also known as the Zephyrantes). A relationship develops between him and Anaheim Electronics engineer Nina Purpleton
Chuck Keith: Keith is Kou's best friend and fellow test pilot. Unlike his best friend, his mobile suit piloting is average, which he gets picked on by his fellow pilots. Despite that, Keith is an all-around nice guy who always gives somewhat useful advice to Kou in his relationship with Nina.
Nina Purpleton: Nina Purpleton is the head engineer of the two new Gundams that are being developed for the federation. She is extremely protective of her creations, which comes into conflict with Kou when He checks out the new units when the first arrive. However after Gato's "Gundamjack" of Unit 2, she allows Kou to pilot the Unit 1 to stop him. She also develops a relationship with him as she accompanies him and the Albion to pursue Gato. It is later revealed that she once was in love with Anavel Gato a year ago, until he deserted her on the moon.
The Creator
Yoshiyuki Tomino, Mobile Suit Gundam's principal creator, is a veteran of the anime industry. In 1964, Tomino signed with Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production Studio, making his debut on the classis Mighty Atom (known in the U.S. as "Astro Boy"). In the 70's, he became a freelance director and prolific storyboard artist, lending his talents to a number of shows in the popular "super robot" genre. With 1979's Mobile Suit Gundam, Tomino combined the gaudy gadgetry of the traditional robot show with hard science, complex characterization, and weighty themes of war and morality. In the following decades, he's returned to the Gundam saga several times to add to the chronicles of the "Universal Century" era, and most recently (in 1999's Turn A Gundam) to extend the series into entirely new realms. In addition to his work in the anime field, Tomino has also written more than a dozen novels, most of them based on the Gundam universe or set in the fantasy world of Aura Battler Dunbine.

LAST EPISODE
A Storm Raging Through
Cima manages to escape the destruction of the ship. Gato goes on to try and destroy the Federation ship controlling the Solar System as the assembled weapon fires at the descending colony. He manages to destroy the control ship and the colony continues on its descent to Earth. While Uraki fights and finally kills off Cima, Gato heads to the colony to "fulfill his destiny" and is followed by Nina. They run into each other and Nina begs Gato to stop, but he tells her that he has given his life to the restoration of Jion. Nina picks up his gun and threatens to shoot, but it ends up being Uraki, newly arrived on the scene, who shoots him. Gato nevertheless pulls the control lever to redirect the colony. Nina tells Uraki to stop fighting and when he refuses, she turns the gun on him and leaves with Gato. Gato, not wanting Nina to follow him to his fate, knocks her out and has Karius take her and escape. He still has a score to settle with Uraki and meets him outside in the Neue Ziel. The two fight on as the Federation turn the Solar System on them (a lot of the Federation higher ups have a vendetta against the Unit 3, for messing up their deal with Cima). The blinding white light envelopes the two mobile suits and when it finally fades away, Kou awakens to find himself alone - Gato had left without killing him. In the Axis fleet, Karius has brought Nina to the flagship, where she is given a choice to stay or go back to the Federation. The remanents of Jion, led by Gato, refuse to surrender and fight on, attempting to breakthrough the Federation forces and catch up with the now-retreating Axis fleet. Gato is shot down and takes out a Federation ship in a kamikaze attack. The Aftermath: Sinapus is sentenced to death. Uraki is sentenced to 1 year in prison for disobeying orders, but he is released early because the Federation chose to erase all files on the Gundams, and thereby, erases his crime. He is sent to Oakly Base in North America, where he meets up with Keith again and... Nina!
