The famous Newtype Amuro Ray is now the ace pilot of the Earth Federation's Londo Bell taskforce. During the One Year War, this young civilian became the pilot of the original RX-78 Gundam, and during the Gryps Conflict of U.C. 0087 he joined the Karaba resistance group to combat a tyrannical faction of the Earth Federation Forces. Rejoining the Federation, Amuro was assigned to the Londo Bell unit, which patrols the space colonies for signs of rebellion. As a result, this veteran pilot now finds himself on the frontlines of the new struggle against his longtime rival Char Aznable. Amuro is now a confident adult, with no trace of his old fears and insecurities, but his encounters with Char show that he still retains the hot temper of his teenage years.
