Tomino changed his mind and the story after the production of
CCA was decided and he had to get rid of all the unnecessary elements
for CCA. Originally, Char was supposed to fight Hamaan in the later
part of ZZ but that had to be changed too, for CCA.

Jude NEVER appears again in Gundam Universe, not even in LIGHTNING
HATHAWAY, where Hathaway is a leader of an anti-federation group 
called "Mafty Naviu Erin". I'll be doing a detailed synopsis of
LIGHTNING HATHAWAY in UC Herald 2.

							^^^^^^^^^

That technology (I-Field Generator) existed from the time of One
Year and there's nothing incredible about it.

And don't forget Jamitov! He even had some dialogues. :)

Agreed. This episode will make the blood of any Gundam fan boil.

Here is the translation for that part.

_____________________________________

DELAZ: Go Gato.

GATO:  Sir?

DELAZ: Gato, carry out our cause. The colony is still in our hands.

CIMA:  What the!? Are you out of your mind?

DELAZ: Step over my dead body and carry on.

CIMA:  Shut up!

DELAZ: Do you want to make me a scorn of the space? 

CIMA:  You idiot! Solar System is aiming at us! You gotta be
kidding!

GATO:  Your Excellency...

DELAZ: SIEG JION.
