Eleven scene photos and character sketches of the White Base crew: Katsu, Retsu, Kikka, Haro, Job John, and others have been released.

A whole series of scene photos were released!

New scene photos including the RX-78-02 Gundam and MS-06F Duan's Zaku have been released, which are piloted by Amuro Rey and Cruz Doan, the two main characters in the film.

Amuro Rey is a young boy who became a full-time pilot when he accidentally got caught in a Zaku attack and boarded the RX-78-02 Gundam designed by his father Temu. As he grows up through many fierce battles, he goes on a reconnaissance mission as a member of the White Base squadron and visits an island, where he meets a former Zeon deserter named Cruz Doan, and ends up in combat with his Zaku.

The battle scene between the RX-78-02 Gundam and the MS-06F Doan's Zaku shows a moment that could end at any moment. In the darkness, the delicate staging of the reflections of the Gundam's beam saber and the Doan-specific Zaku's Heat Hawk on their respective aircrafts is beautifully blended with the lightning, creating a vivid and fantastic cut. The Gundam is down on one knee, and the Zaku is seen as having the upper hand, and the Gundam is in a great pinch. How will the fierce battle between the two come to an end?

On the other hand, we also see Zaku attacking the fleeing RGM-79 Jim from behind, and Zaku watching from afar as the Gun Perry that Amuro and his crew were riding on when they visited the island bursts into flames.

One wonders what Zaku is thinking at this moment.

In the other scenes that have been released, we can see Bright Noah, the captain of the White Base of the Earth Federation Forces, to which Amuro Ray belongs, with an impassioned expression on his face, Seira looking anxious as Amuro and his crew depart for their mission, Amuro responding that he is fine, and Doan looking up at the sky with a determined look on his face. The film also includes images of Seira looking anxious as Amuro and his crew depart for their mission, Amuro responding that he will be fine, and Doan looking up at the sky in determination.

The previously unseen White Base crew members are also shown!

Following the previously released images of the main members of the White Base crew, the rest of the White Base crew is now on display!

<Story
The Earth Federation Forces, having withstood the defensive battle at Jaburo, launched a major counterinsurgency operation to capture Odessa, the home base of the Zeon Earth Advance Force, with full momentum. Amuro and his White Base sailed to Belfast to receive the last supply of supplies before the operation. Amidst this situation, the White Base is handed a mission. It is a mission to sweep up the remaining enemies on an uninhabited island, commonly known as the "Island of No Return. Amuro and his men embark on a search for the remaining agents, but what they see there are children who should not be there and a single Zaku. Amuro, who lost his Gundam in the battle, meets a man who calls himself Cruz Doan. Can Amuro uncover the secret of the island, find the Gundam again, and escape safely...?
