The story
The year is 2314 AD, two years have passed since the defeat of the Innovades and the exposure of the A-Laws' crimes against humanity. The A-Laws have been abolished and their infrastructure integrated into the Earth Sphere Federation Army. However, the world's exposure to GN Particles has resulted in many people awakening as True Innovators. Celestial Being has returned to the shadows to rebuild and quietly observe the infantile peace. However, an abandoned probe from an expedition to Jupiter 130 years ago approaches Earth bringing a new crisis with it, one that threatens all of mankind. While Celestial Being begins their final mission to save humanity from an unimaginable threat, Gundam Meister Setsuna F. Seiei is about to discover the true purpose of his evolution as an Innovator. Aeolia Schenberg's plan has moved into its final stage...
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer recap
In 2314 AD, two years after the series, a crashed ship from Jupiter carries the ELS, a metallic alien race that absorbs anything it touches. As the ELS spread, the Federation and Celestial Being join to fight back. Setsuna's Innovator abilities let him sense the ELS, but contact leaves him in pain and unconscious. The ELS head for Earth in vast numbers, and humanity mounts a last stand. Graham Aker, partly absorbed by the ELS, sacrifices himself to clear Setsuna's path.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer ending explained
Setsuna flies the 00 Qan[T] into the core of the ELS mothership and communicates with them. Their home star died, and absorbing life is their way of understanding. The battle ends, and the ELS reshape their mothership into a flower. Setsuna stays with them.
Post-credits scenes
Yes. After the credits, an epilogue fifty years later shows humanity living alongside the ELS, and Setsuna, now part ELS, visits an elderly Marina Ismail.
