The

The
infinity
that
is
space.
It
is
filled
with
various, diverse
life forms.

Stars will die;

With

to life it is inherited.

The
great Universe's breath
of life
will never end.
The
passing on
of life
is an endless cycle.
The
great battle
between
Gamilas and
Earth
was also cut through eternity.
The
war
between
Earth
and Gamilus...
In the immense extent of space, it was just a short moment of confusion.
...was but a fleeting moment in the vast...
Then time passed...
...timeless realms of space.
It is on course. A vicious planet.
And... time has passed.
It absorbs, crushes, smashes to atoms.
With destructive power, growing on the energy that it absorbs...
The huge, evil comet.
...the Evil Empire of the White Comet threatens the universe.
One side will obtain and use this power.
A Comet Fleet appears from nowhere, conquering some...
Where do they come from?
...while mercilessly destroying other planets in its path.
A powerful advance fleet confronts planets.
Once peaceful planets have now become...
There's repeated invasion and attack.
...cruel labor camps, subjecting its people to slavery.
Peoples are subjugated under them.
All of them came to be enslaved in penal colonies.

This new menace was overwhelming the wonder of space.
The universe is confronting another threat...
Earth was still not aware of this fact.
...and Earth is yet unaware of this crisis.
Earth has now almost finished completing its reconstruction work...
Earth has almost recovered from destruction by Gamilus.
... expanding vigorously its influence...
And the reconstruction has extended to the other planets.
... to the farthest planets in its solar system.
Earth has rebuilt their bases on each of the planets.
Constructing bases on each planet...
Once again, resources have started to flow.
... resources development has progressed to a high pitch.
Now that peace has been restored to Earth...
Overseeing this prosperity is Susumu Kodai...

Aihara,
Earth arrival will be on September 5th at 1500 hours.
Aihara,
ETA for Earth landing is September 5, around 3:00 p.m.
Report it to Earth Defense Headquarters.
Contact Earth Defense Command Base.
Roger, making report.
Roger.
Do you only want to report there?
Any other messages, sir?
Where else would I report?
What other messages?
It would be good to report to Yuki too, eh?
A message to Yuki?
I suppose the wedding will be right after we return.
You're getting married, as soon as we land, aren't you?
Stupid!
Never mind!
Don't worry so much! Hurry up!
Just get that message out.
Captain!
Captain.
I don't understand this.
The communication lines are scrambled.
It's as if Earth and its central communication circuits are being disrupted.
I can't make contact.
I don't think it's a true communication.
How about the emergency system?
Well, try the emergency circuits.
That's out too, sir.
That's no good, either.
Seems like someone's trying to send a
signal.
It's as if someone is sending some sort of
signal.
Aihara!
Aihara!
You call
yourself a space fighter?!
"Seems like someone"?
You call
that a report?
If you can't
explain what
it
is, record
it
all
!
If you can't
analyze
it
, then log
it
!
I am recording it.
I am logging it, sir.
Oh...
That's my man!
Just as I expected of you, Aihara!

As first President

Gentlemen! Citizens

...I'm proud to launch this ship today.
As the former chief of
Earth
Defense
...
We on Earth are the guardians of peace...
... I am honored to welcome you today to this commemoration.
...in the universe.
Peace in space –
It is our duty to ensure...
– to achieve that...
...that this peace lasts forever.
... to protect that, our Earth must become a leader.
As the flagship, nay, the symbol of our leadership...
Henceforth, Earth will protect the peace in the eternal Universe.
...
I hereby christen
the
Battleship
Andromeda
.
We must continue to be a leader.
As a symbol of Earth's glory...

Did

Yep, for a

Yes, 1
week.
It's just 3 days, you know.
Only 3 more days...
Oh? What is?
To what?
So ill-mannered, aren't you?
Don't tease me!
What's wrong, Kodai?
What's wrong?
Well...
Earth is different every time I come back.
The return trip didn't revive me.
Yes, the planets send us the necessary resources.
Plenty of resources come flowing in from all the planets...
We owe it all to people like you.
... all thanks to you and your crew!
Are you happy?
Just luck, Yuki.
Of course.
Of course!
Come here.
Come on, Kodai!
This desk would be perfect for your study...
Say, don't you think this desk would look good in your study?
...with subdued lighting so that you can concentrate.
It occurs to me that if we put the lighting in the mid-color range...
We have to think about things to do when you come home.
... it'll gradually settle you down!
We'll have a bar in the living room.
Um!
I can mix you a cocktail when you come home.
That's it!
Is that
all you can say? Any requests?
I haven't thought about when you come home from work.
There you go
again!
Let's put a counter in the living room, OK?
Let's go
over
there.
I'll make cocktails in there!
Hey
, hey...
Um...
Captain Okita,
look at that
ultra-modern city
.
Is that
a "No"?
In the heat of battle, such a restoration
was
but
a dream
.
All you've been saying is "Um, um".
Let's
drink
up.
Did you want to say something?
T

Um...
Our

There,

We're the only ones left who remember Yamato.
Well, this time,

Feel sad too, eh? Drink up.
Hey

Captain Okita,
I present this
ultra-modern city

This

Please

It was
hard

I don't want to see us ending up that way.
So... are you upset too?

How are you? Serving for the supply fleets, eh?
How's the cargo transport job?
Space transport is no shopping trip.
Transporting cargo is so boring.
I don't suppose you found it boring, huh?
Attention!
All hands line up!
Everyone fall in!
Take places!
Sir, all those on Earth present and accounted tor.
Captain!
Your crew is hard at work. You can rest assured, sir.
All hands are assembled for Earth's revival.

Back from her trial flight.

This is the communication sound that we recorded
near Mars.
This is the signal we picked up
near Mars.
I've been

I've been

Good. We'll see to the analysis at

We

We
discovered
this
3 days ago.
It's apparently been approaching Earth...
The first quasar to be discovered approaching Earth.
... since the beginning of ancient history.
Here's an enlargement.
It appears to be a quasar.
A comet... a giant
comet!
Well, let's magnify the image!
The analysis is ready, sir.
A comet! A GIANT
comet!
Put it through speakers.
Clearly not friendly.
Aye, aye.
All right. Put it in the scanner.
Ready.

Perhaps there's some terrible disaster, somewhere...
...
communication...
...and it's a warning to us.
...
hurry
...
It could be...
... we... going up
...
It may be connected to that white comet.
That's all we could do with it.
The impact could be disastrous!
A call for help?!
Right. I'll bring it up at the Defense Council meeting.
Do we know the transmission's source?
Andromeda or one of our many other battleships...
This computer doesn't have sufficient power for that.
...have sufficient power to blast it out of space.
Somehow or other, we must stretch out our hand!
We can easily deal with a couple of such comets.
I say this is from somewhere out in space, not from our imaginations.
I don't think that Kodai is just concerned about Earth.
That makes it an emergency.
We can't act on one man's assumptions.
And if we report that...
Pure speculation and fancy!
They might say no.
I have a question!
Now, even though we don't know if the White Comet is a concern...
Aren't we "the guardians of peace in the universe"?
... considering how big it is...
Stop
, Kodai.
All right.
If we really wish
peace...
I'll present it at once to the Defense Conference for verification.
Quiet
!
Wha–at?
You are
here only as an observer. You have no say!
Even if it is approaching Earth...
We knew it!
... we'll soon be finished with the Andromeda!
If the Council won't take the lead, there's nothing we can do.
It's the only ship now with Wave Gun systems...
I guess distant stars are none of their concern.
... but soon we'll have ten!
Until it directly affects us here, they won't do anything.
One or two could easily destroy the comet!
But that'll be too late!
No.
Captain Kodai has presented the data to this Defense Conference without hesitation.
He think's it not just Earth's problem.
But, Commander!
Isn't that kind of vague? With information, the government will act.
There's no reason to yet.
It's a false alarm, this tale.
A good exaggeration.
May I ask something?
"Earth will protect the peace of space!"
Who is the leader now?!
Stop it
, Kodai.
For the people of Earth, for universal
peace...
... for coexistence, I beg you to––
Silence
!
You are
an observer here!
It's not your privilege to criticize the Defense Conference!
He doesn't depend on the Federal Government.
It's no use.
What's this about the end of all planets in the Universe?
What's it about?
Earth won't receive any direct damage.
Don't you understand?
That's not it! It'll be too late if––
Commander!
Commander!
I thought you'd
all
be here.
I thought you'd
be here.
Commander!
Commander!
I, too, come to this place to rest my thoughts.
I sometimes come here to seek peace and quiet.
The way of Yamato, indeed.
About Yamato...
The Yamato... what about it?
Something's happened, sir?
We have decided it to be obsolete.
Yamato will be put out of commission.
At next opportunity, it will be designated a ship
memorial.
She will be preserved as a
memorial.
Why?!
Utter stupidity!
That
's

She
's

Then why...?
It's the final decision of the Defense Conference.
It's the Council's decision.

Susumu Kodai:

Earth...
Earth...
... above everything else, dearly loved
...
You bring back so many fond memories
...
!
Both we
and
everyone on
Earth...
Yamato kept our hopes alive
and
saved the entire
Earth...
... everyone on Yamato, all the brave souls have taken heart.
...when we were at the brink of destruction.
We withstood the brink of despair, thanks to Yamato.
We can't let Yamato be put out of commission!
Our Yamato, undying!
These days, I often wonder...
That time we made the 148,000 light-year journey on Yamato...
...what those 148,000 light years of travel was all about.
... I've considered well what it was.
All those brave men who gave their lives surely didn't do so...
Captain Okita and the lives of many space fighters were sacrificed.
...to create such a selfish and ungrateful world!
The battle was drawn out.
There must be peace in the entire universe, not just Earth.
It was not in order to make this kind of corrupted Earth.
And Yamato is the epitome of
that peace.
The peace of the Universe was not due to Earth's good luck.
Didn't we risk our lives in battle aboard Yamato?
The Yamato exists to protect
that peace.
Let's go with Yamato!
Didn't we and the Yamato fight together?
Who cares if it's mutiny!
Let's go, Kodai!
It's our sacred mission as crew members of Yamato.
Even though we might be punished, we'll go!
Sanada!
And our fate will lie with that of Yamato!
Let's do it!
Sanada...
Who cares about orders!
Great!
Shima, you will come with us, won
't you?
We'll go to Yamato!
Let
me
think about it. To go against

I'm disappointed in

Maybe he was caught by Headquarters on his way here.
Shima, after all
...
You mean, they might be aware of our actions?
Sheesh! Misjudged

I wouldn't be surprised.
No, wait.
Once we're aboard, it's too late.
Have we been caught on the Command Center's surveillance net?
Where'

Yes.
That's me.
There's more Command Center over our way.
So you're Kodai...
Naturally they're aware of us. It's no wonder.
I'm Saito, Squad Leader of the First Division Space Cavalry.
When we finish boarding, here's our plan––
Well, this happens to be the Space Battleship Yamato.
Where i

I recruited him. He's a master of judo, karate, wrestling...
I'm here!
...and other martial arts. He'll come in handy.
You, huh?
I'm Hajime Saito.
Head of Space Cavaliers troop #1. Central leader of the armor division.
Sorry, not here on the Yamato, you aren't.
He's a scout.
This man is a 23rd level combined Judo/Karate/Wrestling champ.
Which could be useful, don't you think?

Well, for the time being, he can do cleaning work.
Sorry, I'm too proud for that.
I have a problem with that. I'm a man with a lot of pride.
In that case, I'll be in my cabin until you need me.
I'm going below. I'll sleep and pass the time until dinner.
A message from Headquarters.
Emergency communication from the Command Center!
Orders from the Commander. Disembark immediately.
Attention crew of Yamato!
What you're doing is mutiny! Disembark
immediately!
The Commander orders you to leave the ship at once!
If you refuse,
you'll be court-martialed and arrested!
Gentlemen, your conduct is considered treasonous by the Earth Federal Government!
I repeat,
Leave the ship
immediately!
disembark now! What you're doing is mutiny!
If you refuse,
we will arrest you on the crime of treason!
Think it over carefully. It's not
too late!
I repeat again!
Hear that? Leave now, if you want.
Debark immediately!
Or stay and face the consequences.
Your conduct is considered treasonous by the Earth Federal Government!
Leave the ship, or stay with us, it's up to you.

Teresa's in there.
This is where Teresa is...
We're finally here, Kodai!
Ouch!
What now?
Take that!
Wait a second.
And that!
The planet's true center is here.
We made it at last!
Teresa...
What shall we do?
It's
Teresa!
Wait a minute.
I am Teresa

... on which to base its colonies.
Each planet in its path is invaded, then enslaved.
They wish to master, to use, the whole Universe.
It wants to control he universe.
When they encountered my mother planet – let me show you.
I'll show you what happened to my mother planet.
I'm the only one left.
I am the sole survivor of the Empire's invasion.
I escaped, but the Comet Empire captured me...
And they've imprisoned me here.
... and imprisoned me on this planet.
Your Earth is their next target.
Their next target is your Earth!
In 20 days, without fail...
In 20 days...
...Earth will feel the fury of the White Comet Empire.
... the Earth will be enfolded in that fiery globe...
Yamato must fight back.
... and smashed to pieces.
Not just for your Earth, but for the entire universe.
Rise up, Yamato!
That's why we came.
Do that not only to save Earth, but for the whole Universe!
But we know nothing of this comet's technology.
Teresa!
We need your advice on how to destroy it.
We've come for that reason also.
At its core there is an Empire, protected by a blizzard of...
But Earth's scientists...
...high speed neutrons, and a belt of high pressure gas.
... do not understand the true nature of the comet.
An Empire?
What can be done to stop this comet?
To destroy the Comet...
Please tell us how.
...you must first disperse the gas surrounding it.
The comet is like a high-velocity tornado.
But this is impossible, even with your Wave Motion Gun.
The Empire's population is located...
Then how can we do it?
... in the middle of the high-pressure gas zone.
That, even I do not know. However...
It's populated?!
...no matter how advanced the evil civilization...
To destroy the White Comet...
...it must have a weak point, and finding this is your task.
... you must first sweep away the burning white gas belt.
You're the only one in the universe who can do it.
If you don't...
Teresa,
... it will be impossible for even Yamato's Wave Gun to hold it off.
will you come with us?
Then what do we do?
We'll fight the comet together.
What do we do to destroy it?!
I cannot come in contact with you.
That I don't know.
Why not?
But yours is a fine civilization.
If I were to come in contact with your world...
I have thought often of the human race.
...a great explosion would result.
Without fail, there must be a weakness.
And everything around us would be destroyed.
F
Anti-matter!
So, you're from a world of anti-matter.
Though I can serve to warn you...
...I can offer no other help.
I shall keep praying for your success.
Not for Yamato and your Earth alone.
The universe is vast, but it is all one.
I will pray that your bravery...
...shall save the universe.
Teresa...!
For the sake of the universe...!
Full power! Bring her around 180°.
Set course for the White Comet!
Increase pressure.
Pressure increased.
Output at 120%.
Output 120%.
Open cylinders 21 through 25.
Switch on!
Swing to starboard, 13°.
Is there cause for concern, My Lord?
Teresa has been set free from her prison on Telezart.
If she should attack our home planet, Gatlantis...
Fools! As anti-matter, she'd be destroying herself as well.
Diffchecker Placeholder
She wouldn't make that sacrifice.
Foolish Yamato! Let her come to Gatlantis!
First, we must dispose of Yamato.
Then we can take care of Earth.
Are you afraid of Yamato?
How can you say that...?
Your Imperial Highness.
The time has come for me to execute my revenge.
Since my defeat by Yamato...
...I have been waiting for this opportunity.
I, Desler, will deal with Yamato...
...leaving your Majesty to enjoy the destruction of Earth.
How interesting. But Desler...
...you cannot fail this time.
If we had not rescued you after your defeat by Yamato...
...you would have been drifting forever in space.
I, Desler, was supreme ruler of Gamilus.
I will not suffer such defeat ever again.
I'd like to see it, Desler.
I give you command of our newest battleship.
With eternal gratitude, sire.

Yes, Ma'am.
You accompany him.
Yes, Ma'am.
Watch him closely. Do not let him out of your sight!

Those are space destroyers!
Where did they come from?
Why didn't they appear on radar?
They did not register, sir.

Desler...!
It's Desler... he's alive!
Kodai!
Desler is...
...alive...
Yes, crew of Yamato. How delightful to see you again!
Desler, you're alive!
The glory of the great Empire of Gamilus is eternal!
Unfortunately for you, death is close at hand!
I pray that you will at least put up a good fight!
Deliver the final blow to Yamato! Victory is near!
Yes, sir.
Full speed ahead, towards Yamato!
The enemy's in front of us, and we have no working turrets!
Large battleship in sight!

Damn that Desler!
If only we could use the Wave Motion Gun!
We must board Desler's ship. That's our only chance.

Sizumeru-Subs The great Universe is spread to infinity. It is filled with various, diverse life forms. Stars will die; stars will come to life; from life to life it is inherited. The great Universe's breath of life will never end. The great battle between Gamilas and Earth was also cut through eternity. In the immense extent of space, it was just a short moment of confusion. Then time passed... It is on course. A vicious planet. It absorbs, crushes, smashes to atoms. The huge, evil comet. One side will obtain and use this power. Where do they come from? A powerful advance fleet confronts planets. There's repeated invasion and attack. Peoples are subjugated under them. All of them came to be enslaved in penal colonies. Diffchecker Placeholder This new menace was overwhelming the wonder of space. Earth was still not aware of this fact. Earth has now almost finished completing its reconstruction work... ... expanding vigorously its influence... ... to the farthest planets in its solar system. Constructing bases on each planet... ... resources development has progressed to a high pitch. Overseeing this prosperity is Susumu Kodai... ... who is now Captain of the escort ship... ... accompanying the supply transport fleet. We're passing Mars. Aihara, Earth arrival will be on September 5th at 1500 hours. Report it to Earth Defense Headquarters. Roger, making report. Do you only want to report there? Where else would I report? It would be good to report to Yuki too, eh? I suppose the wedding will be right after we return. Stupid! Don't worry so much! Hurry up! Captain! I don't understand this. It's as if Earth and its central communication circuits are being disrupted. I don't think it's a true communication. Well, try the emergency circuits. That's no good, either. It's as if someone is sending some sort of signal. Aihara! You call yourself a space fighter?! If you can't explain what it is, record it all! I am recording it. Oh... Just as I expected of you, Aihara! The First Division fleet has departed Venus. Presently passing zone A. Second Division fleet will soon arrive at Mars. Fourth Division fleet passing Jupiter's orbit. Arrival date September 7. There's no report from the Third Division fleet? No communications. It's probably a mishap with the memory circuits. Kodai's the Captain of the escort ship, isn't he? Commander! It's time for the launch ceremony. Oh, that's right. Do you think something's happened to Kodai's ship? I'm not worried. It's in 3 days, isn't it? I, too, would like to attend your wedding. Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Gentlemen! Citizens of the world! As the former chief of Earth Defense... ... I am honored to welcome you today to this commemoration. Peace in space – – to achieve that... ... to protect that, our Earth must become a leader. Henceforth, Earth will protect the peace in the eternal Universe. We must continue to be a leader. As a symbol of Earth's glory... ... I report the completion of our newest warship, Andromeda! Diffchecker Placeholder Captain! That's the Andromeda? Wow! That battleship symbolizes Earth's revival! The Third Division fleet has just landed! The Third Division fleet...! Kodai! Yuki! On time and on schedule, as usual, eh? Are you on leave now? Yep, for a week. It's just 3 days, you know. Oh? What is? So ill-mannered, aren't you? What's wrong, Kodai? Well... The return trip didn't revive me. Plenty of resources come flowing in from all the planets... ... all thanks to you and your crew! Just luck, Yuki. Of course! Come on, Kodai! Say, don't you think this desk would look good in your study? It occurs to me that if we put the lighting in the mid-color range... ... it'll gradually settle you down! Um! That's it! I haven't thought about when you come home from work. Let's put a counter in the living room, OK? I'll make cocktails in there! Um... Is that a "No"? All you've been saying is "Um, um". Did you want to say something? Um... There, again! Well, this time, over yonder... Hey! Hey! Captain Okita, I present this ultra-modern city for your inspection. This was just a dream when we were fighting Gamilas, wasn't it? Please drink with me, Captain... ... on this day – the anniversary of your death. It was hard... both that battle... ... and now the first page of history. Forgetting – the way of Yamato. I don't want to see us ending up that way. So... are you upset too? Well, drink! Drink! Doctor Sado! Hey! You're all in uniform?! Hey! Hey! Stop this malingering! Sorry we're late. Kodai! Shima! Long time, eh? How are you? Serving for the supply fleets, eh? Space transport is no shopping trip. I don't suppose you found it boring, huh? All hands line up! Take places! Captain! All hands are assembled for Earth's revival. Everyone is at their respective appointed posts. We will persevere for Earth's reconstruction – – please don't worry! To the soul of Juzo Okita, great Captain of Yamato, I salute! Diffchecker Placeholder Andromeda! She's back from her test run! Asses! This is the communication sound that we recorded near Mars. I've been worried about this for a while, too. Good. We'll see to the analysis at once. Look, Kodai! We suddenly picked this up 3 days ago. It's apparently been approaching Earth... ... since the beginning of ancient history. It appears to be a quasar. Well, let's magnify the image! A comet! A GIANT comet! Clearly not friendly. All right. Put it in the scanner. Roger! Starting now. Now... ... our... ... huge... ... your... ... although we don't know... ... time... ... hurry... ... someone... ... this... ... communication... ... hurry... ... we... going up... That's all we could do with it. A call for help?! Do we know the transmission's source? This computer doesn't have sufficient power for that. Somehow or other, we must stretch out our hand! I say this is from somewhere out in space, not from our imaginations. That makes it an emergency. And if we report that... They might say no. Now, even though we don't know if the White Comet is a concern... ... considering how big it is... All right. I'll present it at once to the Defense Conference for verification. Wha–at? Even if it is approaching Earth... ... we'll soon be finished with the Andromeda! It's the only ship now with Wave Gun systems... ... but soon we'll have ten! One or two could easily destroy the comet! No. Captain Kodai has presented the data to this Defense Conference without hesitation. He think's it not just Earth's problem. But, Commander! Isn't that kind of vague? With information, the government will act. There's no reason to yet. It's a false alarm, this tale. A good exaggeration. May I ask something? "Earth will protect the peace of space!" Who is the leader now?! Stop it, Kodai. For the people of Earth, for universal peace... ... for coexistence, I beg you to–– Silence! You are an observer here! It's not your privilege to criticize the Defense Conference! He doesn't depend on the Federal Government. It's no use. What's this about the end of all planets in the Universe? What's it about? Earth won't receive any direct damage. Don't you understand? That's not it! It'll be too late if–– Commander! I thought you'd all be here. Commander! I, too, come to this place to rest my thoughts. The way of Yamato, indeed. The Yamato... what about it? We have decided it to be obsolete. At next opportunity, it will be designated a ship memorial. Why?! That's ridiculous! Commander! As the Yamato's Mechanical Chief, please hear me out! The Yamato is not yet falling apart! Please understand. No! Why?! It's the final decision of the Defense Conference. I will convey your orders. Susumu Kodai: tomorrow at 1500 hours, you are ordered to depart for Ganymede base on Jupiter! Daisuke Shima: on the same day at 1400 hours you will depart for Mars base! What kind of crazy orders are those?! He can't be that cruel! You're saying that we will be separated after we leave Yamato? I don't have to explain your orders! Commander! The Yamato lives. To protect Earth. Our lives, too, will continue to live with Yamato. Diffchecker Placeholder Earth... ... above everything else, dearly loved... Both we and everyone on Earth... ... everyone on Yamato, all the brave souls have taken heart. We withstood the brink of despair, thanks to Yamato. Our Yamato, undying! That time we made the 148,000 light-year journey on Yamato... ... I've considered well what it was. Captain Okita and the lives of many space fighters were sacrificed. The battle was drawn out. It was not in order to make this kind of corrupted Earth. The peace of the Universe was not due to Earth's good luck. The Yamato exists to protect that peace. Didn't we and the Yamato fight together? Let's go, Kodai! Even though we might be punished, we'll go! And our fate will lie with that of Yamato! Sanada... Great! We'll go to Yamato! WHAT orders?! Space is calling! Shima! You're coming too, aren't you? Please understand... For me to defy orders... Shima! Yuki! Please understand, Yuki! I'll go to your room and fetch you a spare change of clothes. I guess you'll be in a hurry now. Yuki... Captain! Commander! There is some disquieting movement at the Yamato. Disquieting movement? It appears that the original crew is gathering there. Please observe. That's Saito... ... the leader of the Space Cavaliers! Why is he going with them?! I'll give orders from the Command Center for them to leave the ship at once! Hey, wait! Do you intend to age me? What are you doing? It's rude to butt in line. An old man gets priority! Kodai, it looks like Shima isn't coming. We depart in 30 minutes. He has time to get here. Shima, after all... Sheesh! Misjudged him! No, wait. Have we been caught on the Command Center's surveillance net? Yes. There's more Command Center over our way. Naturally they're aware of us. It's no wonder. When we finish boarding, here's our plan–– Where is Susumu Kodai? I'm here! You, huh? I'm Hajime Saito. Head of Space Cavaliers troop #1. Central leader of the armor division. Sorry, not here on the Yamato, you aren't. He's a scout. This man is a 23rd level combined Judo/Karate/Wrestling champ. Which could be useful, don't you think? Diffchecker Placeholder What about it, Kodai? Can he be useful? Well, for the time being, he can do cleaning work. I have a problem with that. I'm a man with a lot of pride. I'm going below. I'll sleep and pass the time until dinner. Emergency communication from the Command Center! Attention crew of Yamato! The Commander orders you to leave the ship at once! Gentlemen, your conduct is considered treasonous by the Earth Federal Government! Leave the ship immediately! If you refuse, we will arrest you on the crime of treason! I repeat again! Debark immediately! Your conduct is considered treasonous by the Earth Federal Government! Please consider! It's not yet too late! Did everyone hear? Hurry and leave the ship!

It's been a long time. I'm Hijikata, from the Space Fighter Training School. Dr. Hijikata! Hey! Anybody here?! Somebody?! Shit! What are you doing?! Hurry up! Saito, give me a hand with the Commander. I'm the Captain of this ship! The Captain's fate lies with his ship! What are you talking about? As a Commander, it's your duty to report the whereabouts of the enemy! Let me go! Do you want to expose me to a life of shame?! Here, now! I'll take over! Yuki! Excuse me. Yuki, Kodai looks pretty angry. Diffchecker Placeholder You joined the crew without permission. You're being a chatterbox, Doctor. Are you feeling all right? What? My eyes are on my hands. Well, that's okay. Please don't interrupt during surgery! Who are you? Yuki Mori, of Earth Life-Sciences Department. You're not on our crew list. No, I just forgot to register her.

Don't go fighting... Quarreling! What are you doing?! I'm leaving this ship. W–W–Wait! How can you leave? You can't get back to Earth now! You said "Leave the ship!", didn't you, Kodai? I'll get back even if I have to swim through space! Th–Th–This is an order! Put on a uniform! As acting Captain, I order you, Yuki Mori, back to your former duties! You're a fool. If you'd stayed on Earth, you could have lived in peace. It's ridiculous for you to get mixed up in a dangerous voyage like this. I, too, am a lonely companion of Yamato. If everyone else goes, then I will, too. I wanted to be by your side. A terrible enemy... In the end, his hand smote us. You weren't too badly hurt. Doctor... This ship is just like Captain Okita. Yes, it is... Everyone together... Transmission from Earth! Can you hear me, Yamato? Commander! We've detected a fleet of ships outside the Solar System. Nothing to report? I'm sorry, Commander... ... but our fleet was attacked by an unknown enemy before the Yamato arrived. Only Commander Hijikata of the Yanagi survived. I see... But Hijikata is all right? Good luck from bad... give him my best regards. Yes, Commander! I will relinquish the Captaincy to him. Good. By the way, how are Saito and the Space Cavaliers doing? Huh?!

Look out there! Teresa! I am Teresa. I am waiting here... ... in Telezart's gravity stronghold... ... the innermost part of the stalactite grotto. I... I am... ... alone. Sanada! The situation seems urgent! We'll forcibly break through! Unidentified flying objects confirmed! It looks like they've launched from Telezart! A large squadron! Okay! All hands to Combat A positions!

We're finally here, Kodai! What now? Wait a second. The planet's true center is here. Teresa... It's Teresa! I am Teresa. Teresa of Telezart. My spirit has been given to prayers. Only you have answered them. Teresa! We received your messages. We came this far in desperation. Please tell us the contents of your warning. You know of the White Comet, don't you? Yes. The White Comet is tracing a huge orbit around the Universe. It orbits to invade planets... Diffchecker Placeholder ... on which to base its colonies. They wish to master, to use, the whole Universe. When they encountered my mother planet – let me show you. I'm the only one left. I escaped, but the Comet Empire captured me... ... and imprisoned me on this planet. Their next target is your Earth! In 20 days... ... the Earth will be enfolded in that fiery globe... ... and smashed to pieces. Rise up, Yamato! Do that not only to save Earth, but for the whole Universe! Teresa! We've come for that reason also. But Earth's scientists... ... do not understand the true nature of the comet. What can be done to stop this comet? Please tell us how. The comet is like a high-velocity tornado. The Empire's population is located... ... in the middle of the high-pressure gas zone. It's populated?! To destroy the White Comet... ... you must first sweep away the burning white gas belt. If you don't... ... it will be impossible for even Yamato's Wave Gun to hold it off. Then what do we do? What do we do to destroy it?! That I don't know. But yours is a fine civilization. I have thought often of the human race. Without fail, there must be a weakness. Find that weakness. You cannot save the Universe by power alone. Teresa! Let us go together! We'll fight the White Comet together! I cannot allow you to touch me. Why?! Why is that?! My body and your world are composed of different matter. If I'm touched, we'll both transform one another into energy with a great explosion. Everything around would become extinct. Anti-matter! You're of an anti-matter race, aren't you?! I communicated the present threat to the Universe... ... but no one else gave heed. I will continue to pray for you. But, I won't pray only for the sake of Earth and Yamato. The Universe is large... ... but not empty. For you, and for all the people in the Universe who fight... ... I will go on praying for that courage! Teresa! I see. For the love of the Universe. Both sides full speed! Reverse course 180 degrees! Take off for the White Comet! Output level up! Output level up!

It would be interesting if that woman attacked our Comet Empire. Don't lose your heads, obnoxious fools! I will destroy Teresa personally. It won't even be a challenge. I will do this, absolutely! Diffchecker Placeholder Foolish Yamato! Coming to bring down our Gatlantis. We'll dispose of the Yamato first. After that, we can annihilate Earth quite thoroughly. Lazalar, are you afraid of Yamato? Wh–What are you saying?! Great Emperor! It seems the time for my last battle has come. Before destroying Yamato... ... today I will say the thoughts of my final day. I have been waiting for this day. Let me take responsibility for the Yamato. Do not worry, Great Emperor. Give me the pleasure of Earth's annihilation. How interesting, Desslar. Why won't you be beaten this time? If we hadn't saved you when you were drifting in space... ... you would be floating there forever, eh? Commander-In-Chief Savelar! I am proud to be the leader of Gamilas. But there is a limit to the humiliation I will take. You'll have another chance, Desslar. I shall give you the newest ship in my fleet. It is my farewell gift for a war-going eagle. Great thanks. Surveillance fleet commander Miru! Yes! You go with him! Yes! Watch Desslar. Don't take your eyes off him for even a moment! All hands on First Bridge! Enemy ship has appeared to starboard aft! What?! Those are space destroyers! Where did they come from? What's wrong with the radar? Didn't it pick them up?! There was no reaction! Ship #3 has entered warp beam area! Target: Yamato!

It's an extreme honor to meet you again. Leader Desslar! You're alive?! Great Gamilas lives forever! The honor of my Gamilas is immortal, gentlemen of Yamato. I regret that I will have to kill you presently, gentlemen. I wish you a good fight, Yamato. I will finish Yamato off! Talan, the victory is near at hand. Yes, Leader! Full speed towards the Yamato!

Desslar's ship! That's... Magnify image! The White Comet! Desslar and the White Comet! Damn you, Desslar! We can use the Wave Gun and blow him away! This is hand-to-hand combat. If we can board Desslar's ship, he can't move to fight us! But, how can we get near him? A warp? Yes! If we can measure the range to Desslar's ship precisely... ... we can make a small warp to him! Can we do it, Shima? I think we can! Captain? Very well! Yes, sir! Prepare for small warp! Yuki! Get me those distance measurements! Yes, sir! Warp location to Desslar's ship is 2.5 space km! 30 seconds to warp! Revise direction 2 degrees port! 20 seconds to warp! 1.7 space km away! We'll impact Desslar's ship on its starboard bow! Raiding parties will board simultaneous to impact! Range to Yamato: 1.5 space km! Good. Prepare the Desslar Gun! Desslar! You can't do that! If we fire the Desslar Gun now... ... our destroyers will also be involved! I've entrapped Yamato between them. There's no reason to pull back the destroyers. The Emperor entrusted you with those ships! Commander Miru! I am attacking the Yamato. 5 seconds to warp! 4... 3... 2... 1... 0! Warp! Fire! What in the world was that?! Just like you, Yamato... No one will return alive! Yuki! This is no place for a woman! Stop! If I don't go, who will care for the injured?! Hm? But I'm a doctor! Deploy company #2 to the flank! Yes, sir! Deploying company #2 to the flank! Doctor Sado! What is it?! I'm not detecting any life-reactions from the enemy soldiers! Can you hear me, Kodai? Those soldiers aren't humanoids! They're androids! What?! The soldiers are moving in a uniform rhythm. There must be a control mechanism somewhere! Look for it, following my guidance, and blow it up! Roger! Diffchecker Placeholder Turn right! Now left – head straight left! Right there! Let's go! The control mechanism's been destroyed! What?! It seems my strings were being pulled, after all. Kodai, you are all right...? Hey! Hurry! Hurry up! Talan... Sir? You've served me well through this day. Leader...! Miru! Where are you going? To report to the Emperor. Talan! Great Gamilas has abandoned me. Desslar! The child of Yamato...? I've been waiting. Desslar, you have fought for the planet Gamilas. But what are you fighting for this time? The Yamato is strong. Okita was a fine Captain. But... ... I'm a man who does not forget humiliation. The opponent I will overpower is the Yamato! Kodai, are you the opponent this time? You've done well. Stand ready, Desslar! Shoot, Kodai! You won't shoot?! Desslar! Kodai... I have lost. You're wounded, Desslar! The rebirth of Gamilas... ... and revenge against Yamato... ... those were my long cherished hopes. Falling in with the Comet Empire... Humiliated every day, voluntarily... I believed that day would come. But, it's all right now. I've fought long enough and well. My battle is over. Leader... Look out! Yuki! Diffchecker Placeholder Yuki! Yuki! Are you all right, Yuki?! Yuki! Hang on, Yuki! Your lover? Forgive me, Kodai. Please tell the warriors of Yamato... ... that I didn't fall in with the Comet Empire. My heart, far away, will be with you all. Fight, Kodai! Leader Desslar! If the Yamato can fight it somehow, then fight to the upmost! Listen, Kodai! Watch the comet's whirling nucleus! The whirling nucleus? Yamato will win this battle! I wish you success! Desslar! Enter! Emperor! I regret I have bad news. Desslar was defeated in a decisive battle with Yamato. That man had a big mouth for bragging, after all. No. Desslar has won his place in death. Emperor, who will fight Yamato now? Let it go! For now... Balzay! It seems your time has come at last. Sir! Lead your fleet immediately! Conquer the Earth forces bases! Invade Earth in one stroke! Yes, sir! Be patient, Yuki. We'll return you to Earth. When the fighting's over, we'll return you to Earth! I... Doctor... ... is Kodai... Yuki! Who's there? Kodai. How are you doing, Yuki? I'm all right. When we get back to Earth... ... I'll be operated on by an excellent physician. Uh, yeah, what SHE said! You're hurt, Kodai. I'm okay. Thanks to you, Yuki. That's good. Yuki! You mustn't keep this to yourself, Yuki! Hurry and get well. We'll return to Earth together, right? I want to go back! To return with you... ... just the two of us at home. Diffchecker Placeholder With you... The White Comet's fleets are attacking... ... the planets of the Solar System in a full-scale assault! Our entire Earth fleet is massing near Earth. The Yamato must hurry, too. Understood. We'll return to Earth at full speed! Please do so. Earth is waiting for you, Yamato! Hurry! Warp! Please hang on. The entire Earth fleet has finished launching! Hang on! We're coming, too! Warp preparations completed! 20 seconds to warp! Fasten belts immediately! Switch on! Warp! Earth fleet approaching! Range 73 space km! 36 battleships, 81 cruisers... ... and a large number of destroyers! All ships prepare for battle! Carrier planes take off! Large enemy fighter squadron approaching! Commander! Shall we attack the carrier planes with our guns? Not yet! The destruction of the White Comet is our objective! All ships in dense formation! Straight ahead! The Earth fleet has entered the second battle zone! My secret plan... Space subs! Send up the sonar! The enemy fleet has broken out of the second battle zone! Don't lose your heads! The enemy fleet is becoming disorganized. Surround them at once! Suspend the attack! Prepare diffusion Wave Gun for firing! Fire! Diffchecker Placeholder Balzay! You're clumsy! A fine clown! S–Sir! All ships take March formation! All ships! Divert all energy to Wave Guns! All ships – diffusion Wave Guns fire! Turn course 180 degrees! All ships disengage! All destroyed! The Wave Guns were totally useless. The Wave Gun on the Andromeda was much more powerful than Yamato's... ... but even that had no effect! The Wave Gun energy was used in the wrong fashion! We didn't know how to strike the White Comet's weakness! But, where?! Where could it be? Desslar spoke of a central nucleus. So this is Earth! Good. Stop us! It would be regrettable to destroy this planet. I think that dread of us is already piercing them to the quick. Savelar! Send a messenger to Earth! Surrender or Death? The human race can choose the way they would like. The White Comet has stopped! By the command of Zordar... Diffchecker Placeholder ... Emperor of the omnipotent planet-empire Gatlantis... ... I speak to the entire human race! Existence or Destruction? The time has come to choose! If we don't have an answer by one Earth hour... ... we will exercise our full powers! Are you going to surrender?! Will you accept their challenge?! Will you take measures to fight them?! Say, what about the Yamato? If the Yamato were here... ... it'd take care of those guys, right? The Yamato?! That's right – we still have the Yamato! The Yamato! Where's the Yamato?! Our Yamato! Yamato... This is the central nucleus of the whirlpool. Just prior to his death... ... Desslar told us that it is the weak point of the White Comet! You were able to figure that out now that's the comet's stopped? Why don't we fire the Wave Gun in there? That's it! We'll strike exactly there with the maximum power of the Wave Gun! In order to do that... ... we'll have to be facing the White Comet. A warp! Let's warp! Yuki! Kodai, she wants to be with the rest of you, that's all. Yuki's a fine Yamato warrior, too, right? All hands – prepare for warp! One hour has passed since the announcement! Still no reply from Earth? Correct. All right! Prepare to attack! Yamato! The Yamato?! Interesting... Trample them! Kodai! Life or death: it's up to you. Target: comet central nucleus! Stay calm. The fate of Earth and all her people... ... is hanging on this one shot. Fire! Thrust full power – velocity full! Reverse port 120 degrees! Full Speed retreat! We did it! Yay! We did it! It's over, Yuki! We did it! We did it! Well done, Yamato! Diffchecker Placeholder Although a formidable enemy, I admire them. But that they still have energy left is intriguing. What will you do next, Yamato? Open all guns! Target: the Empire city! Prepare to assault! Prepare Cosmo Tigers for launch! They'll attack at the same time that we open fire! Understood! Cosmo Tigers – prepare for take-off! Follow Yamato at both port and starboard! Get into attack formation! Cosmo Tigers – launch preparations complete! Take-off! Range: 6.5 space km! Open bow torpedo tubes! Prepare turrets #1 and #2 for firing! Target: the Empire city! Prepare to fire auxiliary guns simultaneously! Bow torpedoes firing preparations complete! Main gun firing preparations complete! Commence attack! Commence attack! All planes! Retreat from the rotating current! Fire the rotating missiles! Emergency descent! Take us underneath the Empire city! Roger! Maximum descent angle! Full speed emergency descent! Yuki! Diffchecker Placeholder Are you all right, Yuki?! Kodai... Now comes the real battle. Everyone on Earth is praying for us. We'll win, won't we, Kodai? We'll surely win, won't we? And so, Susumu Kodai, my–– Doctor! More wounded! Put them over there! Hey! Won't you be a good fellow... ... and fetch me a "Yamato cocktail" from the pharmacy? Sake?! Just like you, Doc, at a time like this. Sure thing! Hey, Doc! I saved your drink! Doc! Engine output dropping! But... it shouldn't affect navigation. Chief Tokugawa! Chief Engineer! Kodai! Dr. Sado's been killed! What?! Captain! At last, I'm exposed to living disgrace. Kodai... you'll be the next Captain. Captain! Look there! It's the enemy's fighter launch port! Break into the Empire city through that launch port. Then destroy their inner power source. That's the way to win! Fight, Kodai! The fate of Earth is on your shoulders. Yes, sir! Susumu Kodai – Taking over as Yamato's Captain! Carry on... ... Kodai. Diffchecker Placeholder We will carry out Captain Hijikata's last orders! I'll go too, Kodai! We'll be right in the enemy's nest. We may not return alive. I understand, CAPTAIN! I'm coming, too. Sanada... If I don't go, who'll manage the mecha? Cosmo Tigers – take-off! Take-off! Yamamoto! Shit! Yamamoto! Kodai! There's a runway! Land! Right! The power room! Shit! Diffchecker Placeholder This is it! It won't be easy getting over there. Cover us, Kodai! Understood! If we get over there, you go back! What?! You can't! You're the Captain! Return to the ship and take command! Sanada... Kodai, I've come to think of you as a real little brother. You'll make a fine, splendid Captain! Let's go! Sanada! At least we've gotten this far. Leave, Kodai! Go! Why don't you go?! Mr. Chief Mechanic... Hurry up! Don't be so precise! Hang in there just a little while more! Are you okay, Kato?! Take-off! We've done it, Kato. It looks as though we're the only ones to return alive. Kato! Let's blow it! Commander... Thanks. Kodai! You're safe! Look! The Empire City has stopped moving! Sanada... Saito... All right! Use all possible guns – commence attack! Diffchecker Placeholder A huge, huge price... The Captain... Sanada... Saito... The Cosmo Tigers.... How do you like this? Do you understand? There is just one absolute person in this Universe. That omnipotent one is me! That one blood enemy still lives – it is I! The Universe is completely at my whim! I AM the law of the Universe! Its order is mine! And naturally, Earth is mine, also! You're wrong! Totally WRONG! The Universe is our mother. We were born into it. If all life is completely equal, you cannot exist! That is the truth of the Universe! The love of the Universe! You are wrong! That is the freedom and peace of the Universe... ... which you certainly cannot stop! We will fight! We will stubbornly fight you! Very well. But, Yamato, as with a full-heart wound... ... you've reached the bottom of your energy. And you are somehow going to fight, you say?! Kodai... Okita... I am... ... Captain Kodai of the Yamato. What... What can I do? Okita, now, how would you fight? Please tell me, Okita. Kodai! I can't teach you anything more. You've grown up splendidly. You are the Captain of the Yamato. Kodai... Yamato Captain... trust the Yamato. Trust the Yamato?! Diffchecker Placeholder That's right. Isn't there a weapon still left to you? A weapon for the battle. I beg you, Okita. Please tell me. Where is it? What is this weapon? It is life. You still have your own life remaining to you, don't you, Kodai? Only the life of a human being will stand up to the wicked violence. It is your ultimate weapon! Somehow, empty-handed, you will win. You will end up dead. No one will think of that, I guess. I think so, too. Still, Kodai – – if you want to stand as a man in time, this is that time. Begin by doing so, and the impossible will become possible. You are still alive, aren't you, Kodai? Aren't you alive? Yamato's life will revive. What is your mission? Fight the limits of life! You understand, don't you, Kodai? Aihara! How many survivors of our crew? Yes! Including me and Shima, less than 18. I see. All hands, abandon ship at once. But, Kodai! You... I will allow no questions! Abandon ship! Kodai... No! No way! I want to stay, too! Me, too! Me, too! It's the Captain's orders! It's our right to question ridiculous orders! Listen, everyone. If I don't stay behind, Earth will not live. For that, I shall destroy that huge battleship! For that, I alone am enough on the Yamato. Everyone is thinking of dying with me here, I guess. That can't be! Again, I will go for the sake of life. Life is only, what, a few decades long, and then comes to an end. Such a thing is not probable! In this great Universe... ... which extends forever, doesn't it? From here, I go to free life. This is not death! Kodai! But, living here in the real world... ... it's all like a tide of hot blood, isn't it? Won't you wish me luck? All of you, please, return to Earth and go on living. Then, together, you can continue to talk eternally about our battle. Please build an excellent Earth for tomorrow! To stay alive, while I choose death, it is a difficult thing. But... Life is clearly living, living! To leave life this way is a human way, is it not? Kodai! Shima! Please! Diffchecker Placeholder Both sides full speed! Target: giant enemy battleship! Yamato – take off! The Yamato! The Yamato is going! The Yamato is going! Thank you, Kodai. In your heart... ... I have seen the forms of love and courage. Thanks to your help, everyone is awake... ... and I believe the beautiful Earth will work for the sake of the Universe. I have been waiting for this day. I am made of anti-matter. I think my body will be of use. So... Let us go! Yuki... We're together at last, aren't we? Letting me have only painful thoughts of you. Forgive me? From now on we'll always be together. Saving the human race is of primary importance. It is love. But still, you are the most important thing to me. I love you! Yuki... I love you. I truly love you! We are becoming stars in the heart of this eternal Universe. Let us marry there. This will be our wedding! Farewell, Earth The departing ship Space Battleship Yamato

M74 The infinity that is space. Abound with life forms. With stars both dying and forming. Life evolves into different forms. The passing on of life is an endless cycle. The war between Earth and Gamilus... ...was but a fleeting moment in the vast... ...timeless realms of space. And... time has passed. With destructive power, growing on the energy that it absorbs... ...the Evil Empire of the White Comet threatens the universe. A Comet Fleet appears from nowhere, conquering some... ...while mercilessly destroying other planets in its path. Once peaceful planets have now become... ...cruel labor camps, subjecting its people to slavery. Diffchecker Placeholder The universe is confronting another threat... ...and Earth is yet unaware of this crisis. Earth has almost recovered from destruction by Gamilus. And the reconstruction has extended to the other planets. Earth has rebuilt their bases on each of the planets. Once again, resources have started to flow. Now that peace has been restored to Earth... ...Kodai is now captain of a cargo escort fleet vessel. We're passing Mars. Aihara, ETA for Earth landing is September 5, around 3:00 p.m. Contact Earth Defense Command Base. Roger. Any other messages, sir? What other messages? A message to Yuki? You're getting married, as soon as we land, aren't you? Never mind! Just get that message out. Captain. The communication lines are scrambled. I can't make contact. How about the emergency system? That's out too, sir. Seems like someone's trying to send a signal. Aihara! "Seems like someone"? You call that a report? If you can't analyze it, then log it! I am logging it, sir. That's my man! First Sector Fleet has left Venus. They're passing A-Zone. Second Sector Fleet preparing to land on Mars. Fourth Sector Fleet is in Jupiter orbit. Expected to land September 7. Any word from the Third Sector Fleet? No word, sir. I think their communications are down. Kodai's an escort vessel captain there, isn't he? Commander. The christening ceremony is about lo begin. Right. Has something happened to Susumu's vessel? Nothing to worry about. In 3 short days, you'll be wed. I look forward to attending it. Thank you very much. As first President of the United Earth... ...I'm proud to launch this ship today. We on Earth are the guardians of peace... ...in the universe. It is our duty to ensure... ...that this peace lasts forever. As the flagship, nay, the symbol of our leadership... ...I hereby christen the Battleship Andromeda. Diffchecker Placeholder Captain! So that's the new Andromeda. It's proof that Earth has finally recovered. The Third Sector Fleet is now docking. Susumu! Yuki! You're right on time. Did you get leave? Yes, 1 week. Only 3 more days... To what? Don't tease me! What's wrong? Earth is different every time I come back. Yes, the planets send us the necessary resources. We owe it all to people like you. Are you happy? Of course. Come here. This desk would be perfect for your study... ...with subdued lighting so that you can concentrate. We have to think about things to do when you come home. We'll have a bar in the living room. I can mix you a cocktail when you come home. Is that all you can say? Any requests? There you go again! Let's go over there. Hey, hey... Captain Okita, look at that ultra-modern city. In the heat of battle, such a restoration was but a dream. Let's drink up. This is the anniversary of your death. Our hard-fought battles are just another page in history. We're the only ones left who remember Yamato. Feel sad too, eh? Drink up. Dr. Sado! You all came! Hey! You're late! I'm sorry. Kodai! Shima! It's been a long time. How's the cargo transport job? Transporting cargo is so boring. Attention! Everyone fall in! Sir, all those on Earth present and accounted tor. Your crew is hard at work. You can rest assured, sir. All hands salute the late, great Captain Juzo Okita! Diffchecker Placeholder It's Andromeda! Back from her trial flight. You old tub! This is the signal we picked up near Mars. I've been concerned about something, too. Let's run some tests on it. Look at this, Kodai. We discovered this 3 days ago. The first quasar to be discovered approaching Earth. Here's an enlargement. A comet... a giant comet! The analysis is ready, sir. Put it through speakers. Aye, aye. Ready. ...we are also now... ...and the giant... ...you are... ...perhaps you can... ...danger... ...must hurry... ...anybody hear... ...signal... ...urgent to save... ...take action... The rest is garbled. A call for help...? Where's it from? We couldn't trace it on this computer. We must do something. Perhaps there's some terrible disaster, somewhere... ...and it's a warning to us. It could be... It may be connected to that white comet. The impact could be disastrous! Right. I'll bring it up at the Defense Council meeting. Andromeda or one of our many other battleships... ...have sufficient power to blast it out of space. We can easily deal with a couple of such comets. I don't think that Kodai is just concerned about Earth. We can't act on one man's assumptions. Pure speculation and fancy! I have a question! Aren't we "the guardians of peace in the universe"? Stop, Kodai. If we really wish peace... Quiet! You are here only as an observer. You have no say! We knew it! If the Council won't take the lead, there's nothing we can do. I guess distant stars are none of their concern. Until it directly affects us here, they won't do anything. But that'll be too late! Commander! I thought you'd be here. Commander! I sometimes come here to seek peace and quiet. About Yamato... Something's happened, sir? Yamato will be put out of commission. She will be preserved as a memorial. Utter stupidity! She's still fit for duty! Commander! Speaking as Yamato's former Chief Technician... ...she still has many more years ahead of her. I know that. Then why...? It's the Council's decision. Your orders. At 15:00 tomorrow, Captain Kodai is ordered to Jupiter. Shima, you're ordered to Mars at 14:00. That's outrageous! How can you do this to us? Are you trying to split the old Yamato crew, sir? No explanations are necessary. Commander! Yamato is still capable of saving Earth! Our mission is to stay with Yamato. Diffchecker Placeholder Earth... You bring back so many fond memories...! Yamato kept our hopes alive and saved the entire Earth... ...when we were at the brink of destruction. We can't let Yamato be put out of commission! These days, I often wonder... ...what those 148,000 light years of travel was all about. All those brave men who gave their lives surely didn't do so... ...to create such a selfish and ungrateful world! There must be peace in the entire universe, not just Earth. And Yamato is the epitome of that peace. Didn't we risk our lives in battle aboard Yamato? Let's go with Yamato! Who cares if it's mutiny! It's our sacred mission as crew members of Yamato. Sanada! Let's do it! Who cares about orders! Shima, you will come with us, won't you? Let me think about it. To go against orders... Shima! Yuki! Please understand. I'll go get your things. You'll have a lot to do. Yuki... Captain Okita! Commander! Something is going on inside Yamato. Something's going on? Yamato's old crew seems to be gathering inside. Please take a look. That's Saito, of the Space Cavalry. What's he doing there? I'm going to order them to disembark immediately! Hey, wait for me! Don't you dare leave me behind! Hey, what are you doing? Go to the end of the line! There's seniority with age! Shima's not here yet? 30 minutes to take-off. He should be here by now. So, he's not coming...? I'm disappointed in him! Maybe he was caught by Headquarters on his way here. You mean, they might be aware of our actions? I wouldn't be surprised. Once we're aboard, it's too late. Where's Susumu Kodai? That's me. So you're Kodai... I'm Saito, Squad Leader of the First Division Space Cavalry. Well, this happens to be the Space Battleship Yamato. I recruited him. He's a master of judo, karate, wrestling... ...and other martial arts. He'll come in handy. Diffchecker Placeholder Do you think we can use him? Well, we can use a cleaning crew. Sorry, I'm too proud for that. In that case, I'll be in my cabin until you need me. A message from Headquarters. Orders from the Commander. Disembark immediately. What you're doing is mutiny! Disembark immediately! If you refuse, you'll be court-martialed and arrested! I repeat, disembark now! What you're doing is mutiny! Think it over carefully. It's not too late! Hear that? Leave now, if you want. Or stay and face the consequences. Leave the ship, or stay with us, it's up to you. All present and accounted for. Nobody left the ship, sir. Really...? Raise ramp.

Put them on the screen. Fighters from Lunar Base! Are they going to attack us? That's possible. We're mutineers. Hope we don't end up fighting Earth! Closing in to firing range at 8,000. Battle stations! Kato, of Black Tigers, requesting permission to land. That's Kato's voice! He came?! It's Kato! Open that hatch! What's keeping you? Lunar Base Squadron, Yamamoto here. Requesting permission to join you. Tsurumi of the Third Squadron, also requesting permission. Diffchecker Placeholder Kato! Yamamoto! Thanks for coming! You nearly left us behind. Sorry, we had to move quickly. Lunar Base is in an uproar over your mutiny. That's a good one! I'm getting a signal. Direction? Coming from 3 o'clock, sir. Near the forward observation satellite. It's strange. It's not like the other message. This is an SOS! It's being jammed by a strong signal. Shima, bring her around to full speed. Hard aport! Full speed, hard aport it is. Strong signals on radar up ahead, sir. Put it on the screen. That's the Eleventh Fleet flagship. This looks bad! No one could've survived this. sir! Are you all right? Who are you...? I'm Kodai, Acting Captain of the Space Battleship Yamato. Yamato...? We're here to rescue survivors. Forget about me, get my crew... My men are looking after them. This way, sir. Kodai... It's been a while. I'm Hijikata... of the Space Cadet Academy. Commander Hijikata! Is anyone here? Damn! Hurry up! Let's get out of here! Saito, give me a hand. I'm the captain. I must stay with my ship. No, your duty is to report this incident to Headquarters. Leave me. I must stay with my ship to the end! Out of the way! Yuki! Excuse me. Yuki, Kodai looks upset. Diffchecker Placeholder You shouldn't have stowed away. Please concentrate on your patient, Doctor. I can do this in my sleep. I'm finished now. Please do not enter during examination. Who are you? Yuki, of Science Division Human Services Dept., sir. You're not on the crew list. I must have forgotten to register her. She must leave the ship. She'll upset discipline. Don't be so hard on her. All right, as soon as I finish here with this patient. Please help me move him. Remember, I'm responsible... So no fighting, okay? What are you doing? Leaving the ship. What? How will you get back to Earth from here? You told me to leave. So, I'll just float back. Your orders! Get into uniform! You're restored to your former rank. Oh Yuki, you could have been safe and sound on Earth. Why put yourself in danger out here? But I'm part of the Yamato crew. If all of you go, so do I. I wanted to be near you. Yuki. Susumu. They were terrifying enemies. We were helpless... They must've been to be able to defeat you. Doctor... It feels like Captain Okita is still aboard this ship. Yes, he's still with us. A message from Earth. Yamato, do you read? Commander! Communication with the Solar Fleet is out. Any idea why? We regret to report that the Fleet has been destroyed. Commander Hijikata was the only survivor. I see... but at least he's safe. Give him my regards. Yes, sir. He will henceforth take command of Yamato. Good. How's Cavalry Officer Saito doing? What? I sent him on board. So you knew...? Yamato and the crew are now under my orders. Rest assured. Yes, sir. The comet's growing larger. If you have any news... What's wrong? ...people of the universe... ...I am Teresa... It's that message! Trace the signal! Aye, aye. ...giant comet is completely... ...at this rate... ...will be totally destroyed... ...the entire universe... ...assistance... ...to save everyone... ...beg you... ...time is running out... We've located the source! Good! This is Earth. And we're here. It's 150,000 space km. from us, and 20° port side of the comet. It's in sector 20078, on the 3D Universal Globe... ...at the far end of our Galaxy. At our speed, we should be there in 30 days. A 60-day round trip from Earth. Thank you. Captain, permission to warp there. Diffchecker Placeholder My Lord, Balsey of the Seventh Mobile Fleet, at your service. Balsey, your fleet has performed well. Plans to invade Earth seem to be going as scheduled. Yes. A reconnaissance ship has detected... ...an Earthling space battleship bound for the planet Telezart. What ship? The Space Battleship Yamato. Yamato? The one that single-handedly destroyed Gamilus? Yes. Even Yamato cannot penetrate our defenses. Advise Commander Gorland on Telezart. Here's our present position. We'll warp a total of 75,000 space km. from here. WME, A-okay. Warp preparations, complete. Automatic warping sequence, on. One minute to warp. Belts on. 30 seconds to warp. 10 seconds... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... zero... Warp! Warp! Warp completed. WME checks out A-okay. No damage to vessel. Good! Let's drink to Yamato! Aren't you going to drink? An earthquake!? Did you sense it coming? It's a space current! What? Shima, alter course! That won't do. We should go straight through it. Engineer! Maximum energy. Roger, maximum energy. Full power! Maximum speed! That's Sargasso, the space graveyard! If we're pulled in, that'll be the end of us. What'll we do? Yamato has enough power. Enemy fleet, dead ahead. What? Switch on the video screen. Direction and distance? 11 space km. off the port bow. They're positioned just outside the current. There's a planet directly behind them. I'll enlarge the screen. Diffchecker Placeholder What is that planet? That must be where Teresa's message is coming from! So that's... Teresa's planet?! They're trying to keep us away. We can't attack head-on with those missiles. Shall we move to starboard? No! We'll go straight into Sargasso! The closer we get to it, the stronger the current. What should we do? Let's proceed forward. Yamato should withstand this current. As soon as we get across, hit them with the Wave Motion. Roger. Prepare to fire the Wave Motion Gun! Wait! We'll hit that planet at this angle. Decrease engine pressure! Stop all jets. We'll flow with the current. Release cylinder pressure. Roger, releasing engine pressure. Engines stopped. Ow! What lousy steering!! Poor Yamato, the current has damaged her engines! All ships 90° to port. Follow the current. Confirm Yamato's destination. Either she goes to hell, or we finish her off with our missiles. Let's enter escape maneuver! Not yet! Captain! The current's moving fast. Don't lose her! Enemy position? 6 space km. astern. Reverse direction. Turn 180° to port. Exit current now! All engines, full speed! 180° full to port! Full power! Yamato's breaking loose! So, she was playing dead! All ships to attack formation! Enemy fleet at 4 space km. and approaching. What's the planet's position now? Starboard 60° and 5° above the fleet. Pull her around 25° to port. Increase power to Wave Motion Gun! Increasing power, sir! Diffchecker Placeholder All ships, fire missiles! Their first round is approaching, sir! Open Gun circuits! Opening circuits, sir. Missiles approaching. Should we evade, sir? Captain, how about our interceptor missiles? No! Release Wave Motion Gun safety lock. Aye, aye, releasing safety lock! Safety lock zero, pressure rising, with 0.2 remaining. Striker compressor activated. Final safety released! Second wave approaching, sir. They're big missiles. If we're hit, that'll be it! Prepare to fire Wave Motion Gun! Target scope open! Scope at 20%. Target, enemy fleet straight ahead. Range 5,000. 10 seconds to fire. All hands brace and wear eye protection. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... zero... FIRE! First phase of operation completed! Prepare landing party immediately. Wow...! Sanada, what's the planet analysis report? According to our data... ...it seems to have a unique structure, with a hollow center. A hollow planet? Kodai! Look out there! It's Teresa. I am Teresa. I'm trapped in a gravity fortress within the planet Telezart... ...deep inside a limestone cave. I am... ...I am... alone... Sanada! The situation sounds serious. Let's move quickly! Unidentified objects on radar, sir! A large formation coming from Telezart. Crew to Combat Formation-A! Cosmo Tigers, take-off! Enemy crafts in sight. Take combat formation! Diffchecker Placeholder Pay attention to aft warning radar. Fire pulse laser guns! Space Cavalry Squad, standby! Space Cavalry Squad, standby! Now it's our turn! Can't wait to get out there! Don't wet your pants! Attack coming from base on surface, sir. Kodai, counterattack with interceptor missiles. Prepare forward missiles! Space Cavalry Squad, away! How disappointing! No one's here to welcome us. Those Yamato rats! They'll never return alive! Damn! They play hard! Saito here. They're attacking with tanks. We need the multistage missile. Roger, it's on its way. Don't retreat! This is where we show our stuff! Kodai, it's ready. Saito! Retreat! Roger! Fire! Diffchecker Placeholder Got them! You're not getting away! This way. Limestone cave, eh? This is where Teresa is... Ouch! Take that! And that! We made it at last! What shall we do? Wait a minute. This is the core of the planet. That's... Teresa! I am Teresa, of the planet Telezart. You are the only ones... ...who have responded to my prayers. Teresa, we picked up your message... ...and we fought our way here. Please explain your message. You are aware of the White Comet? Yes. It has an elliptical orbit. Diffchecker Placeholder Each planet in its path is invaded, then enslaved. It wants to control he universe. I'll show you what happened to my mother planet. I am the sole survivor of the Empire's invasion. And they've imprisoned me here. Your Earth is their next target. In 20 days, without fail... ...Earth will feel the fury of the White Comet Empire. Yamato must fight back. Not just for your Earth, but for the entire universe. That's why we came. But we know nothing of this comet's technology. We need your advice on how to destroy it. At its core there is an Empire, protected by a blizzard of... ...high speed neutrons, and a belt of high pressure gas. An Empire? To destroy the Comet... ...you must first disperse the gas surrounding it. But this is impossible, even with your Wave Motion Gun. Then how can we do it? That, even I do not know. However... ...no matter how advanced the evil civilization... ...it must have a weak point, and finding this is your task. You're the only one in the universe who can do it. Teresa, will you come with us? We'll fight the comet together. I cannot come in contact with you. Why not? If I were to come in contact with your world... ...a great explosion would result. And everything around us would be destroyed. Anti-matter! So, you're from a world of anti-matter. Though I can serve to warn you... ...I can offer no other help. I shall keep praying for your success. Not for Yamato and your Earth alone. The universe is vast, but it is all one. I will pray that your bravery... ...shall save the universe. Teresa...! For the sake of the universe...! Full power! Bring her around 180°. Set course for the White Comet! Increase pressure. Pressure increased. Output at 120%. Output 120%. Open cylinders 21 through 25. Switch on! Swing to starboard, 13°. Is there cause for concern, My Lord? Teresa has been set free from her prison on Telezart. If she should attack our home planet, Gatlantis... Fools! As anti-matter, she'd be destroying herself as well. Diffchecker Placeholder She wouldn't make that sacrifice. Foolish Yamato! Let her come to Gatlantis! First, we must dispose of Yamato. Then we can take care of Earth. Are you afraid of Yamato? How can you say that...? Your Imperial Highness. The time has come for me to execute my revenge. Since my defeat by Yamato... ...I have been waiting for this opportunity. I, Desler, will deal with Yamato... ...leaving your Majesty to enjoy the destruction of Earth. How interesting. But Desler... ...you cannot fail this time. If we had not rescued you after your defeat by Yamato... ...you would have been drifting forever in space. I, Desler, was supreme ruler of Gamilus. I will not suffer such defeat ever again. I'd like to see it, Desler. I give you command of our newest battleship. With eternal gratitude, sire. Miru, Commander of the Reconnaissance Fleet. Yes, Ma'am. You accompany him. Yes, Ma'am. Watch him closely. Do not let him out of your sight! Enemy ships off the starboard stern! Go to your posts on the main bridge! What? Those are space destroyers! Where did they come from? Why didn't they appear on radar? They did not register, sir. The third ship is in warp beam area, sir. Targeting sector 420 space km. port side astern of Yamato. Good. Fire beam! Third ship warping, sir. Fourth ship ready to warp. Targeting 500 space km. starboard ahead of Yamato. No. 1 turret damaged! No. 2 turret damaged, sir. Missile launchers damaged, sir. Starboard torpedo launcher damaged! Nothing appeared on radar. Instantaneous Matter Transport! No! Desler's warp device? That can't be... he's dead! Aircraft launcher damaged! No. 3 turret damaged! All of Yamato's turrets inoperative! Desler...! It's Desler... he's alive! Kodai! Desler is... ...alive... Yes, crew of Yamato. How delightful to see you again! Desler, you're alive! The glory of the great Empire of Gamilus is eternal! Unfortunately for you, death is close at hand! I pray that you will at least put up a good fight! Deliver the final blow to Yamato! Victory is near! Yes, sir. Full speed ahead, towards Yamato! The enemy's in front of us, and we have no working turrets! Large battleship in sight! Diffchecker Placeholder Target ahead, 12 space km., approaching at 80 space knots. Put it on screen. That's Desler's ship! That's...! Enlarge that frame. That's the White Comet! Desler's with the White Comet Empire...! Damn that Desler! If only we could use the Wave Motion Gun! We must board Desler's ship. That's our only chance. But how...? Warp? We'll approach by accurately calculating a short-range warp. Can we do it, Shima? We'll try it. Captain? Do it. Prepare for short-range warp. Yuki, give me accurate distance. Yes, sir. 2.5 space km. to Desler's ship. 30 seconds to warp, 2° to port. 20 seconds to warp. 1.7 space km. and closing. We'll warp to his port side, forward. Combat Team, board upon contact with Desler's ship. Yamato at 1.5 space km., sir. Prepare the Desler Cannon. Desler! Are you crazy? We'll hit our destroyers at this range. We need them there in order to hold Yamato at that position! But those are ships belonging to the Emperor! Commander Miru, my only concern is Yamato! 5 seconds to warp... 4... 3... 2... 1... zero. Warp! Fire! What happened? Good try, Yamato. But not one of you will leave alive! Yuki, this is no place for a woman! If I don't go, who will tend to the wounded? In that case, I'll go too. Second company, attack from the flank! Second company to the flank, sir. Dr. Sado. What? Enemy troops show no human vital signs. Kodai, do you hear me? Those enemy troops are androids! What? They're in programmed mode. There must be a master control center somewhere. I'll lead you to it, so follow my signal and blow it up! Roger! Diffchecker Placeholder Turn right! To the left, then straight. There! Let's go! The control center has been destroyed! What? Damn robots! I hope Susumu's all right... Hurry, on the double! Taran! You've served me well. My Lord...! Miru! Where do you think you're going? To report to the Emperor! Taran! I am all that's left of the great Gamilus. Desler! I've been waiting for you, little boy from Yamato. In the last battle, you were fighting for your planet. What is your purpose for this battle? Yamato is a great ship. Captain Okita was a great commander. But humiliation burnt deeply within me. Destroying Yamato became my only reason for living. And now you have become my arch foe. And a worthy foe you've become. Draw your weapon, Desler! Fire, Kodai. Hurry up and fire! Desler! Kodai, you've beaten me. You were wounded...? All I wanted was the restoration of Gamilus... ...and revenge on Yamato. Even if it meant being under the hire of the White Comet... ...and bearing the humiliation that went with it. But I'm content... I fought well... My battles have come to an end. Lord Desler...! Look out! Yuki! Diffchecker Placeholder Yuki! Yuki! Yuki, are you all right? Are you hurt bad? Yuki! Hang in there! You loved her...? Forgive me. Please tell the crew of Yamato that though I was with... ...the White Comet Empire, I am closer to all of you in spirit. Kodai, fight them! Desler...! Yamato has the power to destroy them. Aim at the spiral core of the White Comet! The spiral core...? Then, Yamato will win this battle! Desler! Enter! Lord, I bring you bad news. Desler suffered defeat at the hands of Yamato. After all his grandiose boasts! He has finally found his resting place. Lord, who will go after Yamato now? Forget Yamato. Balsey, Earth's time has come. Yes, sir! Conquer Earth's extraterrestrial bases using your fleet. Then invade Earth. Yes, sir! Hang in there, Yuki. We'll soon have you back on Earth. When the fighting is over, we'll head back to Earth. No... I'm... Is Susumu safe? Yuki! Who is it? It's Susumu. Yuki, how do you feel? I'm fine. I was just operated on by the greatest doctor on Earth. That's right. Are you all right? Yes, thanks to you. ...I'm so glad... Yuki. Just rest. Hurry and get well. We're going to return to Earth together. ...I want to go home... ...we'll be married... Diffchecker Placeholder ...live in our own house... ...together... Yuki! The enemy fleet is attacking all of our planetary bases. Earth's entire fleet is gathering, and... ...we need Yamato as soon as possible. Yes, sir. We'll return to Earth at full speed. All of Earth is awaiting your return. Quickly! Get us to warp! Hold them off until we get there! The entire Earth Fleet has been launched. Hang in there! We'll soon be there too! Warp preparations complete. 20 seconds to warp. Fasten seat belts. Switch on. Warp. Earth's fleet approaching. Distance 73 space km. 36 battleships, 81 cruisers, and many destroyers. All ships take battle stations! Launch aircraft! Large enemy formation approaching! Sir, shall we send our fighters to intercept them? No, our mission is to destroy the White Comet. All ships take up close formation and advance. Earth's fleet has entered second defense sector. Just where we want them! They're space subs! Activate sonar. Second battle sector destroyed, sir! Keep calm! They're in confusion. Surround, then crush them! We'll strike them first. Prepare the Dissemination Wave Motion Gun! Fire! Diffchecker Placeholder Balsey! You fool! Your services are no longer required. Aye, aye, sir. Fleet into designated formation. Fleet, activate Wave Motion Gun. Fleet, fire Dissemination Wave Motion Gun! Reverse direction, turn 180°! All ships disengage from battle! Totally destroyed! No effect, even with all those Wave Motion Guns! Andromeda's Wave Motion Gun had more powerful... ...amplification than Yamato's! If her's couldn't do the job... ...then we'll have to concentrate all power to its weakest point. But where could that weak spot be?! Where's the spiral core Desler talked about? There's Earth. Bring us to a stop. So beautiful... it would be a pity to destroy it. They must know how powerful we are, by now! Send a messenger to Earth. They must choose between surrender, or death! The Comet has stopped! Diffchecker Placeholder Zordar, the almighty Emperor of Gatlantis... ...orders you Earthlings to choose... ...between surrender or annihilation! Decide within one Earth hour or we will attack. Will we surrender? Or fight to the last? Can we win...? Where's Yamato? Yamato could beat those guys, huh?! Yamato? That's right, we still have Yamato! We need Yamato! Where is Yamato? Yamato...! Before he died, Desler mentioned... ...the spiral core as the weak point of the White Comet. Because the Comet stopped, we were able to identify it. So we'll fire the Wave Motion Gun there, right? Yes, by concentrating the blast to maximum intensity. Then we'll have to be directly in front of the Comet... Let's warp there! Yuki...! She wants to be with all of you. She, too, is a crew of Yamato! Prepare to warp! Their hour is up. No answer from Earth? No. Begin the attack! It's Yamato! This will be interesting. Crush her! Kodai, it's all in your hands now. Target, the spiral core of the Comet! Concentrate...! The future of Earth and its people rests on this one shot. Fire! Engines full power. Hard to port 120°! Full speed disengage! We did it! We did it! Yuki! Yuki! We did it! Good work, Yamato! Diffchecker Placeholder Nice try, Yamato. You've exceeded my expectations. But I'm sure you've used up all your energy. What next, Yamato? All guns, ready for firing! Target, the Comet City Empire! Prepare to fire! Cosmo Tigers, prepare to launch... ...and begin attack when Yamato commences firing! Aye, aye, sir! Cosmo Tigers prepare to launch! Pilots to combat positions, at port and starboard of Yamato! Cosmo Tigers ready for launch. Launch! Target at 6.5 space km. Open bow torpedo tubes. Prepare turrets 1 and 2 for firing! Target, the City! Secondary guns prepare to fire. Bow torpedoes ready to fire! Main guns ready to fire! Fire! Fire! All planes, break away from the current barrier! Fire rotary missiles! Dive! Take refuge underneath the City! Aye, sir, angle at maximum, diving at full speed! Yuki! Diffchecker Placeholder Are you all right, Yuki? Susumu... ...this is where the real battle begins... ...all on Earth are counting on you... Defeat them... please...! I know... you... will... Yuki...! Doctor, here's more wounded! Put them over there. Wait! Mix me a Yamato cocktail! Make it a strong one!! A drink? That's our Doc... even at a time like this! Why not? Here's your cocktail. Doc...! Turn off auxiliary power! Don't bother with those! Engine power decreased... but able to cruise... Chief Engineer! Dr. Sado is dead! What? Captain! Finally, I can redeem my honor, and die... Kodai... I'm passing command over to you. Sir...! Look there. That's the enemy's launch pad. Get into the City through there! We can only win by destroying the interior power source! Fight, Kodai! The fate of Earth rests on your shoulders. On all your shoulders! I accept command of Yamato, sir! I'm counting on you...! Diffchecker Placeholder Proceed with Captain Hijikata's orders!! Kodai, we'll go, too. Once we're inside, we may not be able to return. I know that, Skipper. I'm going, too. Sanada...! You'll be needing an engineer. Cosmo Tigers, launch! Launch! Yamamoto! Damn! Yamamoto! That's the runway! Head for it! Roger. That's the main power room. Damn! Diffchecker Placeholder That's it! We can't make it across with this. Kodai, cover us! Roger! Once we're across, you leave. What?! No way! You're the Captain. You need to command the ship. Sanada! I've always thought of you as a brother. I know you'll be a great captain! Let's go! Sanada! We made it! Kodai, go! Go! Get out!! Quickly, but carefully place those charges! Just a bit more...! Hold on a little longer! Kato, are you all right? We're taking off! Kato, looks like we're the only ones that made it back. Kato! I'm going to ignite the fuse! Thank you, Squad Leader! Kodai! Are you okay? The City has... stopped! Sanada... Saito... All serviceable weapons, prepare to fire! Diffchecker Placeholder Such a high price to pay! The Captain, Sanada, Saito, the Cosmo Tigers...! Hurray! Yamato! Now do you understand? I am the absolute ruler of the entire universe! All living beings are my subjects! The entire universe is under my command! My word is law! Therefore, Earth, too, is mine to do with as I please! You're wrong! Absolutely wrong!! All who are born of this universe must be equal! Truth and love underlie all things in this universe! You are wrong!! Your way destroys all peace and freedom. And we'll fight you to the end! Is that so? But Yamato is practically destroyed. With your energy practically gone, how do you plan to fight? Kodai... Captain Okita, as Captain of Yamato... ...what am I to do? What would YOU do, sir? Please tell me. Kodai, there is nothing more for me to teach you. You've matured to become a mighty captain. As captain, put your faith in Yamato. Diffchecker Placeholder My faith in Yamato? That's right, you still have a "weapon." One weapon left to wage the fight. Please tell me what it is. Where is this weapon? What is this weapon? Life. You still have your life. Life is the final weapon with which to go against tyranny. Most would agree that bare hands and death... ...will not lead to victory. I would agree also. But listen to me, Kodai. Even in such conditions, a man must meet the challenge! Only then will the impossible become possible. Kodai, you still have life on your side! Your duty is to use the life of Yamato to the fullest! You must fight to your death! Understand, Kodai? Aihara, how many survivors? Including us, 18 total, sir. Everybody prepare to disembark. What about you, Kodai? Don't question my orders! Disembark! Kodai! No! I'm staying with you! I'll stay, too! Me, too! You heard my orders. We've a right to disobey unreasonable orders! Listen to me. Earth must survive at all cost. Therefore, we must destroy that giant battleship. Yamato and I will be enough for this task. You think I'm going to my death, don't you? I'm not. I'm going so that I too, will live. Life isn't something that only lasts for a few decades. Doesn't life grow and last forever in the universe? I'm going so that my life is exchanged for a greater life. This is not death! Kodai. However, some must live on in this world... ...to pave the way for a better world. You must all live and return to Earth. And pass on the legacy of our battles... ...and create a world with a wonderful future. Sometimes, life can be harder than choosing death. But as long as there is life, it is important... ...to live, live, and keep on living! Kodai! Shima... I'm counting on you. Diffchecker Placeholder Full power to engines. Target, the enemy battleship. Yamato, proceeding ahead! Look! It's Yamato! Yamato's taking off! Thank you, Captain Kodai. You have shown me the love and bravery that is within you. You've opened people's eyes, so that... ...they will now work for a better Earth and universe. I've been waiting for this day. My body, made of anti-matter, should be of help to you. Let us go now. Yuki, we're finally alone. I'm sorry I made life so difficult for you. From now on, we'll be together always. Love is the most important thing we can have. And the most important thing I have is you... ...my love for you. Yuki, I love you very much. I can shout it to the stars! Let us be married now, among the stars of this vast universe. This will be our wedding. Farewell to Earth The journey begins... ...for Space Battleship... ...Yamato
