The movie has an interesting storyline starting a year after colony 196, the Earth and its other colonies enjoy and experience in an unprecedented era peace. What follows is the hurtling or jettisoning the Gundams into the sun since there is no need for weapons of war in this peaceful nation. Unfortunately, in the peaceful state and the silence, people can hear the drums of war once again. Supporting one ruler, the Barton Foundation is rising to challenge or threaten the existing peace on the sphere of the Earth. The battle spirals into climax as the pilots strive to recover their Gundams before they can reach the sun and stop the conflict.

The story line in this movie is comparable to an endless waltz in the sense that it has three distinct and repetitive cycles. It starts with the war looming over the earth sphere right from the formation of space colonies. The storyline is such that the colonists immigrated from earth to space with the aim of escaping the battles and conflicts on earth. Unfortunately, the corruption and greed they were running away from was soon to follow them into the space. UESA -The United Earth Sphere Alliance, instituted to govern the earth and the colonies of the earth but unfortunately, the new government was more or less just an extension of the previous or old Earth's government and therefore sought terrestrial interests and did not take care of the interests of the colonists. The unhappy lot and the dissident groups started arming themselves in the AC 150 in order to revolt against the Earth (Hajime 42).

Heero Yuy was like the representation of peace. Elected by the people in AC 165 as their leader and he took it upon himself to spread the message of the autonomy of the colony and this marked the beginning of pacifism throughout this sphere of the earth. Unfortunately, some people did not welcome the peace, which Heero Yuy sought to promote. A military industrial group called the Romafeller group which controlled the UESA planned and executed the assassination of Heero Yuy. This unfortunate turn of events resulted into instability as unrest that prompted the Romafeller to unveil OZ, its high-class military force to bring order to the colonies albeit with an iron fist.

Revolution then becomes the only viable option for the colonies in these troubling and challenging times. The dissenting leaders hatched a plan and established operation meteor, which is an apocalyptic plan to scuttle one of the space colonies onto the surface of the earth. In the occurrence of such an event, there will be unprecedented disruption of the Earths government and killing of millions of people. The plan involved the use of five of the lethal and strongest military weapons ever constructed and this was to enable the Gundams to establish a new rule and order.

Careful planning characterized the elaborate process in which the colonial leadership sought military approach as a solution to their problems. This military plane took off in AC 195 marred in disagreement between Heero Yuy, the leader of the Gundam pilots and the dissident leaders on the suitable approach to realize peace. What followed was a yearlong battle that enabled the Gundam pilots to bring peace once more to the sphere of the earth. The peace was however a fragile one and could collapse at any time with AC 196 as the age of testing this peace for the final time (Mook 29).

A year after the end of Gundam series, Mariemeia who is the illegitimate daughter of a former war leader, Treze Krushneida the OZ chief, makes plans to be the new leader and ruler of the new nation, which entails taking over both the Space Colonies and the Earth. This is going be a tough task to accomplish and will involve an endless "waltz" of peace, revolution and war.
