The show Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows a group of freedom fighters called Celestial Being who aim to eliminate war from the world by using advanced technology and Mobile Suits. Season 1 episode 19 is titled Bonds and revolves around the aftermath of the battle between Celestial Being and the United Nations Army.
The episode opens with the crew of the Ptolemy, the ship that Celestial Being operates from, dealing with the aftermath of their previous battle. The group is faced with the aftermath of combat, with the pilots recovering from their injuries while the mechanics work to repair the Gundam's. Setsuna, a young Gundam pilot, is badly injured but continues to demand to help with repairs. It is clear that the crew is tightly bonded with each other, as they work tirelessly to fix the damage from the previous battle.
As the crew works, the Ptolemy receives a distress signal from Allelujah, one of the Gundam pilots who was captured in a previous episode. The group is shocked to hear from him, as they believed him to be dead. They quickly move to rescue him, with Setsuna and Lyle, another Gundam pilot, moving to rescue Allelujah.
Meanwhile, Allelujah is being held captive at a facility run by the United Nations Army. He is being experimented on in an attempt to replicate the technology used in the Gundam's. The experimentation has caused him to develop another personality, Hallelujah, who is much more violent than Allelujah. The two personalities argue with each other about how best to escape the facility, with Hallelujah urging Allelujah to use his violent tendencies to escape.
The Ptolemy crew receives intel from their support team on the location of the facility where Allelujah is being held. They begin to plot their rescue mission, which involves a diversionary tactic to distract the United Nations Army guards. The diversion is successful, allowing Setsuna and Lyle to make their way into the facility and rescue Allelujah.
During their escape, the group faces a challenging battle with the United Nations Army forces, but they manage to escape with all of their pilots relatively unscathed. The Ptolemy crew returns to their ship and begin to debrief on their experience.
The episode ends with the crew reflecting on the importance of their bond with each other. They acknowledge that their tight-knit group is one of the reasons they have been able to survive for so long. They also discuss how their bond with each other is what makes them Celestial Being, and how it is central to their mission to eliminate war.
