Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt Vol. 22

An epic story of war and survival set in the legendary Gundam universe!

In the Universal Century year 0079, the space colony known as Side 3 proclaims independence as the Principality of Zeon and declares war on the Earth Federation. One year later, they are locked in a fierce battle for the Thunderbolt Sector, an area of space scarred by the wreckage of destroyed colonies.

Believing that the path to paradise requires the destruction of Anaheim Electronics, Sojo Levan Fu and his fanatic warrior monks go all out to seize the Solar Ray. Whoever controls the massive weapon will decide the outcome of the ferocious battle between the Earth Federation and the Nanyang Alliance. But even with his Newtype powers, Levan Fu cannot foresee all possibilities as a terrifying new threat emerges. The Sojo’s dream is to lead humanity into a peaceful future, but war is the only way to get there.
