To make this very brief, this DVD contains episodes 41 - 45. A quick summary of the episodes.

Episode 41 - The Battle Over Baruji: The battle over Baruji, which will decide supremacy in space, begins. Treize takes the place of the agonizing Relena, and takes into his hands the real power of the Foundation. In space, Zechs, without giving Noin a satisfying answer, attacks and takes down Baruji.

Episode 42 - Libra Set in Motion: The unconscious Lady Une is returned to Treize, who is preparing for war. Meanwhile, Wufei, seeking a decisive battle, is shown the path he should take by the Zero System. Zechs orders the Libra in the direction of the Earth.

Episode 43 - The Aurora Bombarding the Ground: While Heero and the others come together on the Peacemillion, remnants of OZ occupy the colony where Catherine is. Trowa sets off alone in the Zero to rescue her. Due to the influence of the Zero System and the efforts of Quatre, his memory is fully restored.

Episode 44 - The Gundam Team Launches its Attack: Relena boards the Libra, seeking to ascertain her brother's true intentions, but their views will never meet. Meanwhile, Quatre is made to operate the Zero System for the good of space.

Episode 45 - Premonition of Battle: Hilde steals data from the Libra and escapes. After her come the Mobile Dolls with Heero and Trowa's fighting data imprinted in their systems. Duo sets off in the midst of battle to rescue her, and destroys the two Mobile Dolls. She gives him the data.

This is a crucial DVD! This sets all the character's up for the final battle that happens in the last 4 episodes! These DVD's have always been a good deal because you get the dual languages and more episodes (5) then on the VHS tapes (3) which only have one language.

Now It's War.

Operation 9: Episodes 41-45: This set of shows sets up the series for it's big finale. You will see the Gundam boys reunite with each other. You will see a character thought dead still alive...and you will also see the Gundams kicking a lot of mobile suit's butts! With Zechs now in command of White Fang, and Treize assuming control of Earth's forces, the stage is set for war with the Gundams stuck in the middle and Relena trying desperately to stop her brother from waging all out war with the earth. Some high points in this disc include seeing Quatre struggling to use the Zero system, the return of the Mercurius and Vayete(with Heero's and Trowa's data imbedded in them), and the Libra fully operational.

With this disc, we see the revised opening animation set to Rythym Emotion which is welcome and on a side note, the audio for the opening track seems a lot cleaner than the older Just Communication...a treat for those with high end audio systems or Dolby Digital/Pro Logic theater set ups. A small goof on the DVD...the credits which feature over the openings of the show still list the opening theme as Just Communication even though Rythym Emotion is blaring through your speakers...I suppose that one slipped through...I know it's nit-picking, but the credits should be accurate. As we get closer to the end, these episodes are getting much better...don't miss it.

Lots of great stuff for Gundam fans here! Did anyone else realize that episode 42 (Battleship Libra) has the ONLY TIME in the entire series that Wufei pilots a Gundam other than Shenlong or Altron? That episode 43 (Target: Earth) is the first time in the series all five G-Boys gather together? That episode 44 (Go Forth, G-Team) has a really, REALLY awesome name?! I would never consider myself a GUNDAM fan, but I'm flat obsessed with Gundam W. The characters are really well developed, the storyline is interesting and full of that wonderful thing called PLOT, and... I just like the show. Plus, starting with Operation 7, new ANIMATED menus are used on the DVDs that I just can't get over! There's cool stuff on this DVD for fans of just about everyone except Heero (sorry!!), too- Wufei's stint on the Zero system, Trowa recovers his memories, Quatre's return to the Zero system, and Duo's battle against the mobile doll versions of Mercurius and Vayaete are all worth seeing! And finally, episode 41 has the FULL LENGTH version of Rhythm Emotion playing... so... watch it. Watch!! That is all.

I rate it a 5 cause i love it just as much as all the other operations
It's all good and my point is that i got all the operations and the soundtracks . It has the episode that has Duo, Quatre, Trowa and Noin in a battle in between space fortress Barge.
Zechs and his Epyon going afther it too. You'ill have to see it for your self. and this goes to gundam fans and non gundam fans.
It was worth every penny for this DVD

Thank you It is a much loved video from time gone by. Your prompt service is the bomb!!! We would purchase from you again...

I have just finished watching Gundam Wing DVD 9 of the Gundam Wing series on DVD, and I have found it to be excellent, the only problems I have found were the timming gap in the Japanesse Language track between the movement of the carracters mouths and the audio of the voice actors reading of thier lines, the other thing was the difference between the English audio track and the subtitles was sometimes a difference of a few words or in the case of the narrator a difference in the narrations structure( the way it runs as opposed to the way it is spoken). One minor error I found was in the Jacket Picture displayed in stop mode for discs 7 & 8 in that it said disc 7 for both discs, other than this the series to this point is very good. In discs 8&9 the costumes for Miss Noin and the suits for the Gundam Pilots were very good, I think Noin looks good in the Western Syle Outfit she is wearing( Jeans, Boots and Fringe style Blouse). This is a very good series with an excellent translation done by Bandai, if you have a DVD Player than this is the way to enjoy this series as opposed to VHS, or The Cartoon Network( as they tend to water series like this down for TV). The Animation, the Mecha, the carrecters and thier development and thier interaction is very good and with Dolby sound you can't go wrong plus the extras( Bios and Mecha Info) on the DVD are excellent and well worth the price and the having.

In this Dvd you'll see Quatre having a hard time mastering the ZERO system, and Heero sneaks into Libra to see Relena. It is action packed and you'll see for the first time (I think)that the gundam team (including Wufei) work as a team, though with Quatre as the leader. Quatre and the others had to battle the mobile dolls controlled by Dorothy, and you figure the gundam boys are better than that. It's actually funny that when they call out each other's name, you must see it! This is a great Dvd to buy even you are not that violent, personally, I assure you it's a "must not miss" part of the series. Gundam 4 ever!!

I don't have the dvd, but I saw it on tv. It contains the last few episodes. The battles include Heero (Wing Zero) Vs. Zechs (Epyon). They also destroy Libra, and save Earth from devistation.
