  • August 5, 2002

In the distant future, the world has united under the banner of the "United Colonies of Earth," and every four years, the Gundam Fight tournament is held to determine which country will rule the world for the next four years. The first episode of G Gundam, titled "Gundam Fight Begins! The Gundam That Fell to Earth," follows the main character, Domon Kasshu, as he enters the tournament with his mobile fighter, the Shining Gundam.

The episode starts with Domon arriving on Earth after spending four years training in space. He is welcomed by his mentor, Master Asia, who has come to Earth to oversee the Gundam Fight. Domon is initially confused and dismayed by the chaos and poverty he sees in the city, completely at odds with the peaceful and orderly world he saw from space. However, he quickly finds his way to the Neo Japan colony, where he hopes to enter the Gundam Fight and compete to become the next ruler of the world.

Upon arrival, Domon meets his fellow competitors: the beautiful French champion, Marie Louise, and the brutal Russian champion, Argo Gulskii. Marie Louise is friendly to Domon, but Argo is hostile and mocks him at every opportunity. Domon also meets the members of the Neo Japan team, including his manager, the effeminate and flamboyant Nastasha Zabigov.

As the Gundam Fight begins, Domon and the rest of the competitors are sent into space to do battle inside their mobile fighters. Domon is surprised to learn that, in addition to fighting other Gundam pilots, he must also fight off hostile creatures called Devil Gundam cells, which threaten to consume the entire planet if not destroyed.

As Domon battles his opponents, he quickly learns that the Gundam Fight is not just a game, but a matter of life and death. Marie Louise is injured in her fight against Argo, and Argo himself is nearly killed when he tries to use his mobile fighter's self-destruct mechanism to take out Domon's Shining Gundam. In the end, Domon emerges victorious, but not without costs.

The episode ends with Domon returning to Earth, determined to continue his quest and become the ultimate Gundam Fighter. Along the way, he must face powerful opponents and many challenges, all while trying to unravel the mystery of the Devil Gundam cells and their true purpose.

Overall, "Gundam Fight Begins! The Gundam That Fell to Earth" is an exciting, action-packed episode that sets the stage for the rest of the series. It introduces the main characters and establishes the high stakes of the Gundam Fight, while also hinting at the larger conspiracy at play. With its fast-paced battles and colorful cast of characters, G Gundam promises to be a thrilling anime for fans of the mecha genre.
