The infinite expanse ofthe universe...
A place filled with silence and light...
Our Solar System is about 30,OOO light years away
from the Galactic Center.
Earth.
The planet that, like a mother, gave birth to us and raised us.
At the center ofthe Milky Way,
there is a space-time void with a mass two million times that of our sun:
a black hole.
A black hole...
A pitch-black hole whose grasp not even the slightest ray of light can escape.
The density in the deepest parts ofthat hole makes it so gravity is infinite.
At the beginning of the 21st century,
Professor Hawking suggested the possibility
that the radiation emitted by these bodies during vaporization
contains information about the matter that was sucked in.
Even in the 23rd century,
black holes remain a phenomenon unfathomable to mankind.
Thus, humanity is still not aware that black holes are the true rulers ofthe space-time continuum.
No one has yet realized that they are sentient life forms.
Like a young lion approaching humans in the savanna,
feigning curiosity at first,
and then reacting in a completely di_erent way...
Earth was suddenly faced with a black hole.
Space Battleship Yamato.
17 years have passed since it sunk into the seas of the migrating planet Aquarius.
lt is the year 2220 AD.
On Earth, mankind is confronted with an unprecedented crisis:
a dark stellar body with a gravity so enormous not a single ray of light can escape,
a black hole.
Every second, the black hole, hailing from a distant corner ofthe galaxy, gets closer to Earth.
Gravitational signatures detected at 12 o'clock!
Distance: approximately 25 space km!
What are those?
l have never seen ships like that before.
How many ships are there?
We have detected about 900 and counting.
900?!
At 2 o'clock!
Another unidentified fleet at 9:48!
We're being surrounded.
Captain, this is an ambush!
Hailing all ships!
Mark all unidentified vessels as hostile!
Kamijou, fire!
Fire! Fire! And fire again!
Those bastards...
Eat this!
All fighters, engage the enemy!
Protect the emigrant ships!
We're losing pressure quickly!
Disengage from the battlefield.
Warp!
Captain Kodai!
forfreighter Yuki.
Yes.
Here you go.
Captain!
lt took three months to arrive...
Thanks.
ls it from your wife again?
l really envy you.
Hello dear, how is the sea?
''The universe is a sea, and the freighter is my ship. ''
lsn't that what you always said?
Miyuki and l are eagerly awaiting your safe return.
Shipwreck detected!
Where's that shipwreck?
According to the map, it's 150 space km away at 4 o'clock.
We'll rescue the survivors.
Engine at full power!
Going full power with this shabby engine...
this has got to be a joke!
Shut up and do it!
How long have you been on this ship?!
R-Right.
Full powerforward!
This is awful.
Look for survivors.
A survivor?
Looks like the barrier isn't broken.
Help him.
Damn!
You will pay for this!
Wait!
We're allies!
Allies?
H-Hey!
Emigrant ships from Earth?
Right.
l was part of an escort fleet transporting 300 million people to Amarl.
300 million people?!
Were you attacked by them?
Y-Yes!
Damn!
Move!
All right, she can still fly.
Sakurai, locate the enemy's position.
Roger.
Damn them...
Wait!
Don't shoot yet!
Here they come.
Grab on to something!
What's your name?
Earth Defense Force 1st Lieutenant and Tactical Oflicer Kamijou Ryo.
Kamijou, prepare the main battery!
Preparing main battery.
D-Distance: 3000!
C-Captain! We're going to collide!
Keep your cool, Sakurai!
We're going to crash!
Full throttle!
Now! Fire!
Firing main battey!
We did it!
Well done, Kamijou.
You've got some skill.
That's Captain Kodai for you!
Well done.
Captain Kodai...
The legenday captain of the Yamato...
We'll head back to Earth immediately.
Mayday! Mayday!
Who the hell are they?
Why are they attacking us?!
Here they come!
H-Help us!
When did this happen?
lt has been sent through the booster relays a few times.
The footage is three days old.
Why were they attacked?
This is a massacre!
Who's the enemy?
We don't know.
Chief.
Shouldn't we postpone the departure
of the Third Emigration Fleet until we know more about the situation?
We can't send transpoR ships there knowing they will be destroyed!
Continue as planned.
With all due respect...
Has Kodai returned yet?
Kodai-san?
He's the only one who can save the Earth from this danger.
We don't have much time.
Chief, we've been contacted by the Solar System Communication Bureau.
Displaying transmission on screen B.
Okay.
This is the Solar System Communication Bureau.
Deep space cargo vesseI Yuki wíIl be be warping out within the system.
Kodai...
You've come back...
Excuse me, Captain.
We're ready to warp out.
Okay, l'll be right there.
lt's been three years, huh.
l bet your daughter has grown up into a fine lady.
Yeah.
We're finishing our lastjump.
We've finally returned to Earth!
Aquarius.
This observation footage has been colored, processed and fast-forwarded
to make it easy to understand.
l hadn't expected this...
This is a black hole that doesn't move according to any pattern we've observed.
We're calling it the ''Cascading Black Hole. ''
Yes, sir.
Are we certain it will devourthe Earth?
Yes.
We have run the calculations over and over.
We are certain that it's passing through the Solar System.
lt's unavoidable.
We estimate eight million seconds before it reaches Earth.
ln other words, Earth has just three months left until its destruction.
Yes.
We first observed this black hole three years ago.
We gathered astronomers from all around the world,
and organized daily conferences to discuss countermeasures.
Altering the black hole's trajectoy, destroying it...
terraforming one of the frontier planets
and temporarily taking shelterthere...
They even looked into shifting the Earth's orbit.
Eventually, they came to the conclusion
that none of these possibilities were feasible with our current technology.
Mankind's only hope is to seek refuge in the vastness ofspace.
l've put Shima-kun in charge ofthe emigration plans,
and finalized the preparations forthe evacuation of mankind while helping them understand this decision.
l've heard that the crew ofthe salvaged ship was escorting people to Amarl.
lndeed.
Amarl is located in the Sairam System.
Our destination is its moon.
Will we be able to create a second Earth?
This is the route ofthe Second Emigration Fleet.
Displaying map on screen C.
Any intel on the fleet that attacked us?
No, we have no intel on them yet.
Will the Earth vanish...
without leaving behind a trace?
This planet that the Yamato has protected...
lndeed.
That's why l've been waiting for you.
For me?
l want you to take command ofthe Third Emigration Fleet escort forces.
You're the only one who can save mankind.
You're giving me too much credit, Sanada-san.
l deserted the Earth and roamed aimlessly for three years.
l'm not the man l used to be.
However, Yuki knew that you'd take responsibility in this crisis
and assumed command o1the First Emigration Fleet.
Miyuki...
Does she know about the First Emigration Fleet?
''Dear, how is space?
The universe is your sea, isn't it?''
So you've returned...
Welcome back, Miyuki.
Your motherâEUR''
lt's your fault, Father.
Th-That's not true.
You're way too attached to the Yamato.
The Yamato has already sunk, don't you get it?
lt's resting in the depths ofthat sea.
Yes.
Mom just pretended to understand.
ln truth, she was so lonely.
ln my memories, her smile was always veiled by loneliness.
l wantto see mom.
Miyuki, l haven't given up on her!
Kodai here.
We have an emergency!
The Second Emigration Fleet has been attacked by an unknown armada.
We've lost contact with them!
Understood.
l'll be right there.
Just go.
l'm sorry.
So the Second Fleet was annihilated as well...
Both the First and Second fleet were attacked in the same vicinity,
a region about 17,OOO light years away from Earth.
lt's as ifthey were ambushed.
There's one more thing bothering me.
The enemy fleet was diflerent from the one l've encountered.
Theirform is too di_erent.
l fear it's a fleet from another planet.
Does that mean that several parties are attacking Terran fleets?
lt looks like someone is trying to prevent the emigration.
Please allow me to command the Third Emigration Fleet.
Thanks, Kodai.
ForYuki, for mankind...
Your ship is ready foryou.
lt's the Space Battleship Yamato.
The Yamato?!
Space Battleship Yamato is awaiting your return.
Aquarius.
17 years ago...
the migrating planet Aquarius threatened to flood the Earth.
Kodai, Yuki.
You two will have a wonde_ul child.
Since it will be your child, l'm sure itwill be really adorable.
l'll think of it as my grandchild.
Mother Earth...
Take care ofthese kids.
Yamato...
You have lought and perished for this planet.
Let's go to where the soldiers rest.
Fire!
Yamato.
Yes.
This is the new Space Battleship Yamato, Kodai.
Yuki, l don't believe that you died.
No matter where you are, be it the depths of Hell...
l'll come and save you.
Waitfor me!
However, l have to save humanity first.
Hey!
Don't touch the Yamato, old man!
Who are you?
You're a spy, aren't you?
Fight me!
Wait! lâEUR''
No excuses!
That idiot!
Not bad!
YouâEUR''
What are you doing, Kobayashi?!
Captain Kodai!
Captain?
Captain, l was an engineer on the Yamato. Tokugawa Tasuke.
lt's been a long time, Tokugawa.
Currently, l'm in command ofthe Earth Defense Force Moonbase Yamato Reconstruction Project.
You're in charge of rebuilding the Yamato?
Yes.
Hey wait!
Hey! Hold on!
We're the ones that rebuilt the Yamato's engine room.
l see.
That sounds reassuring.
Would you tell me your names?
Tenma Sou from engineering.
Likewise, Shou.
And you?
Earth Defense Force pilot, Kobayashi Jun.
Though he's lacking in military discipline...
D-Don't laugh!
So this is the new wave-motion engine...
The old Yamato had one nuclear reactorwave core.
On the other hand, the new Yamato has six big nuclear reactor wave cores.
Six?
Then the wave-motion cannon can...
Yes, it can fire six rounds.
That's amazing.
That's quite a power-up.
Ob...
... viously!
Check this super charger!
The six consecutive transition wave-motion cannon rounds can even blow the moon into smithereens!
But ifwe were to use all six rounds, the engine would be depleted.
l see.
So we mustn'tfire all the rounds.
Which means it has to be maintained pe_ectly.
Of...
... course!
So, Sakurai, how is the Yamato's computer room?
Captain!
This is unreal! As expected from the Yamato.
l've been pumped up with excitement!
l trust you to make full use ofthe ECl's potential.
Yes, sir!
You're the only crew member that has experienced a voyage to Amarl.
l have high hopes for you as a piler as well.
Yes, sir!
l've only gone there as practice, but l'll live up to your expectation.
Maho-san, this is the Captain.
Captain?
l am the ECl Chief Navigator, Orihara Maho.
l think we've met at the Astro Science Department.
Yes.
So you were that Orihara.
You're being called the Child of the ECl, the genius navigator.
Oh my, genius?
You're exaggerating.
Your task is very important.
l'm counting on your assistance with Sakurai-kun.
Yes, Captain!
We're about to depart.
Everyone, run your systems checks.
Yes, sir.
Departure, huh...
All this nervousness has made me hungry.
Every time you open your mouth it's to say you're hungry. Isn't it, Nakanishi-kun?
Will you be able to fire?
What?
l'm wondering ifwe should really leave the wave-motion cannon to a loser.
Say that again...
Stop it, Kobayashi!
This is the Yamato we brought back to Jife.
l don't want itto sink.
You...
Stop it!
Stop!
Aren't you Kobayashi, the chief pilot?
And you are Kamijou, the tactical o_icer, right?
Who are you?
l'm Oomura Kousaku, the executive oflicer.
l don't care ifyou're the XO or the CEO.
lt's me and the Tenma brothers who brought the Yamato back to life!
l don't want to see it getting wrecked!
lnsubordinate brat!
The rebirth ofthe Yamato was only possible because all of mankind wished for it!
C-Captain.
Gentlemen.
l'm the Captain of the Yamato, Kodai Susumu.
Your lives are in my hands now.
We will protect humanity and the Earth with the Yamato!
How do you feel?
Great!
The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Escort Fleets are Iaunching from Moonbase.
They're going to rendezvous with the Third Emigration Fleet.
They're currently awaiting orders in lunar orbit.

Yamato, take ofl!
Farewell, Mother Earth. It's time for this ship to depart.
Space Battleship Yamato,
fly to the other side of the universe, to Iscandar.
Shoulder your destiny and take ofl now.
l'm sure you will come back here
and answer the people that wave to you with a smile.
Leave the galaxy and go all the way
to Iscandar, Space Battleship Yamato.
We're counting on you, Yamato.
Take care of it, Kodai.
Kobayashi, that was a great maneuver.
Of course!
The Solar System, where the Earth is located, is positioned in the Orion Spur.
lt's about 30,OOO light years away from the center.
We're currently observing this part.
lt's approaching from this angle.
l think it's going to suck in the Solar System as it passes through.
The destination ofthe emigrant fleet is
the planet Amarl in the Sairam System.
lt's 27,OOO light years away from the Galactic Center.
The emigration lleet will reach its destination after warping several times.
However, the First and Second Emigration Fleets were attacked by an unknown armada
about halfway into their voyage in this region 17,OOO light years away,
and were annihilated.
ln otherwords, the Yamato's mission is not only to escort the Third Emigration Fleet safely there,
but, also, to bring the ships back to Earth.
Before the Earth is swallowed by the Cascading Black Hole...
After all the emigrant ships have been prepped,
we will make the first warp jump.
Dismissed.
Dr. Sasaki.
l've been pondering about this for a while now.
Why do you have goggles?
Oh? You didn't know?
l don't quite look the part, but l'm actually a pilot.
You're a pilot?
Oh and...
''Doctor'' sounds too formal.
l'm just not used to it.
You can call me Miharu.
First and second engines, ignite.
Understood.
lgniting first and second engines.
Yamato, enter warp.
The Third Emigration Fleet and the Yamato,
consumed by the fear that the unknown enemy fleet could strike at any time,
continued theirjourney to Amarl.
But at that time...
Attention leaders o1 the Interstellar Alliance...
The president o1the Alliance, SUS representative Governor-General Metzler, has arrived.
A big threat, a galactic evil...
Earth has made its move.
Behold.
So Earth finally made their move.
They have really started their invasion.
We cannot turn a blind eye while Earth jeopardizes our peace.
On behalfofthe Alliance, l hereby command the annihilation of the Terran fleet.
Unless the Earth is destroyed, our Alliance cannot prosper.
Admiral, we have received a message from the Interstellar Alliance through the Ethos brass.
Report.
A gigantic fleet has departed the Earth.
Attack and destroy upon sight.
Currently, we are 17,OOO light years away from Earth.
Eveything has gone smoothly so far.
Orihara, deploy the probes.
Roger.
Launching the probes.
What the hell is this?
Maho-san, what is that?
lt's a honeycomb-type search network.
They could be observing our movements.
l assume the First and Second Emigration Fleets were caught by this network.
That's very likely, since they were ambushed.
Maho, show me how far the network extends.
Stafl, gather in the central situation room.
How big is the network?
lt's impossible to get past it.
lf it were just the Yamato, we could push our way through,
but it's impossible to take that many emigrant vessels along.
Captain, why don't we make a turning movement there?
We could make a long warp jump straight from the emigrant fleet rendezvous point.
Even if it's feasible with the Yamato's engine,
their ship engines can't possibly handle such a jump.
l think it could work.
There is a black hole called BH-199 nearthe emigrant fleet.
We will go through that.
l'm putting it on the screen.
lt's gigantic... with a mass 300 times that ofthe Sun.
The gravity is enormous, too.
We'll accelerate while being pulled in...
By using that gravity pull, we can make a flyby.
Don't be ridiculous!
Can you imagine what will happen ifthe flyby goes wrong?
lfwe fail,
after passing the event horizon, we will be swallowed by the black hole.
Right.
But it's still feasible!
Hey, academy brat.
There's no signboards showing the event horizon.
Are you aware how many lives are dependent on our decisions?
Even ifyou try to go back in your own footsteps,
you will be long swallowed by the black hole, academy brat.
What do you think, Oomura-san?
lt's definitely tricky.
l have no prior experience in approaching black holes with emigrant ships...
However...
There's no otherway, right?
Yes.
We'll pe_orm a flyby.
We cannot overcome this hurdle ifwe're consumed by fear.
Orihara, collect data on BH-199.
Sakurai, apprise the fleet of our plans.
Yes, sir.
So they really came.
All vessels, prepare to engage.
Attention all ships,
we're pe_orming the last warp jump to the Sairam System.
Take your positions and warp out in order!
Just like that... carefully...
Maintain speed at 99 space knots.
Speed: 120 space knots.
Roger.
l can't stand this anymore!
Please! Oh, please!
The first group has warped out.
Thank the heavens.
All right!
lt's a great success!
The second group is about to warp.
What a fearless warp.
We can'tjust sit here slack-jawed.
Their commander seems to be an interesting person.
We cannot allow them to slip away.
All vessels, attack!
Captain, the enemy fleet has appeared.
Direction: 4:23.
Distance: 2, 8 space km.
lt's them!
Don't panic!
We still have some time.
Let the emigration fleet continue warping out.
All escoR lorces disperse and cover their backs.
Kobayashi, alter the course to 4:23.
Roger.
Altering the course to 4:23.
Kamijou, this battle is in your hands.
Understood.
All ships, prepare for battle.
Man your turrets.
All fighters, prepare to sortie.
Kobayashi, turn the Yamato to the ridge ofthe emigration fleet.
Understood.
Just watch!
l'll crush you all!
Another enemy fleet has appeared at 3:30.
Anotherfleet has appeared at 1:20.
Attention escort fleet,
Split in two!
One halfwill take the port side fleet, the other half the starboard side.
The Yamato will engage the enemy in the middle!
All fighters, launch!
l'll go too!
The more the better!
But you're the one steering the Yamato...
l'll do it.
He's better suited to fly a fighter.
The greater our force is the better our chance to protect the emigration fleet.
Kobayashi, take command of the Cosmo Pulser Squad.
Thanks!
Understood!
Hey, Maho!
lt's me, Kobayashi.
l'll protect you from the outside.
Hey Miharu, wanna go on a space date with me?
Don't be silly.
Kobayashi, l heard that weird confession.
That was no confession.
Doctor! What are you doing?
You can't go out.
Hush!
l got on the Yamato because l like this stu_.
But what ifwe have casualties?
You can do the first aid.
Kobayashi, l'll shoot you down ifyou screw up!
All right!
l'd be okay with it if l were shot down by you.
Cosmo Pulser Squadron, follow me!
Full speed ahead!
Prepare the main battery!
All vessels, open fire!
Kobayashi, several fighters are being launched from the vessels in the center!
Take care ofthem!
Roger!
All units, altitude: 9000.
Follow me!
Miharu, behind you!
Nice one, Miharu.
l'll hug you when we get back.
Jerk.
Shift all muzzles to the left!
Prepare the stack missiles!
Distance: 30 space km.
Firing angle: 45oard.
Fire!
Aim for that big ship!
Roger.
An enemy group is approaching the emigrant vessels from the port at 4:30.
Distance: 18 space km.
Kamijou, deploy the heavy bomber.
Yes, sir!
Heavy bomber, attack the hostile at 4:30 port of the emigrant vessels.
Roger!
Now!
Fire!
Yes, sir.
Prepare first and second batteries.
Fire!
Launch bow torpedoes!
What are they doing?
lt's that ship...
That ship is encouraging the whole fleet and increasing their power.
That ship?
Aim for that ship.
Forget about the others.
Blow that ship to smithereens!
Yes, sir!
Damn that Gorui...
Having trouble against a fleet like that.
He's not worth my attention.
Escort ships Hatsuyuki and Shirayuki are down.
Explosions in the Asagiri.
The enemy is moving toward the black hole.
How far along are the emigrant vessels?
880/o ofthem have warped.
Attention all escoR ships, pull back as you fight,
and prepare to warp after the emigration fleet.
The Yamato will take care ofthe enemy fleet!
All fighters, help the escort force to withdraw!
Damn!
l'll kill them for sure!
Prepare the wave-motion cannon!
Don't get carried away, Kamijou!
lt's pointless to use the wave-motion cannon against a scattered fleet!
Not only is it ine_ective,
but it will cost the Yamato the energy it needs to warp.
l'm sorry.
This fleet is completely di_erent from the one we defeated the other day.
lt's because ofthat ship.
Such a sublime decision... not to Iose even a single emigrant vessel.
Their spirit is what makes their command ofthe whole fleet so extraordinay.
You seem to admire the enemy.
ls this really the way an invader fights?
l feel a strong will to live, rather than to invade.
What we are doing is no di_erent than a massacre.
That ship on the other hand...
Rapid turn!
Captain! What are you doing?
Kamijou, shoot randomly at that ship!
Yes, sir!
Cease the attack!
Why?
Don't you think that it would be regrettable to bury that enemy?
lndeed.
lt's frantically trying to protect the emigrant vessels by risking its own life.
We used to have that soldierly spirit.
But look at us now...
Now we are bound to that parvenu SUS and helping to massacre people.
Don't you think we should stop degrading ourselves any further?
lt's something only you'd say, Admiral.
Cease the attack, Captain.
Understood, sir.
Attention Ethos fleet, cease fire!
Full speed ahead!
Where are we going?
We must regain our honor.
Enemy fire has stopped.
What?
All fighters, hury up!
Captain, there's an incoming transmission from that ship.
What?
Put it on the panel.
l'm the Commander in Chief o1 Planet Ethos's fleet, Admiral Gorui.
l highly admire your eflort on the battlefield.
Would you tell me the name of the captain and his ship?
EaRh Defense Force Space Battleship Yamato.
l'm the Captain, Kodai Susumu.
Space Battleship Yamato... Captain Kodai.
l'll be frank now.
The Ethos military has many excellent allies,
and it also respects formidable enemies.
This is an old tradition.
lf l cannot protect this honor,
l'd chose an honorable death like the Yamato.
l'd like to ask you, Admiral Gorei.
Why are you attacking us?
lt's decision of the Greater Urup InterstellarAlliance.
The leadership ofthe union has been grabbed by the SUS.
The SUS...
But this massacre is nothing but an irrational way of demonstrating their power.
Therefore, l deeply respect your e_orts ofsaving the emigration fleet from them.
l appreciate that, Admiral Gorui.
Good luck.
What's the meaning ofthis, Gorui?
l'm only following the Ethos military honor code.
Does the honor code ofthe Ethos military state to defy the decision ofthe Greater Urup InterstellarAlliance?
lsn't that the will of the SUS, rather than that ofthe Alliance?
l assume you know the consequences ofdefying us.
Oh, what are you going to do?
lfyou ever defy my orders again,
l'll not only destroy you, but your whole planet!
Keep that in mind.
Destroy Ethos?
No matter what happens, our citizens will understand.
Attention all emigrant vessels.
We're about to arrive at Amarl.
Finalize your preparations.
Kobayashi, you can switch back now.
Yes, sir.
lt's the Yamato!
The Yamato has come!
lndeed.
Wow!
Thank heavens this emigration fleet made it safely here.
Looks like the emigrants are doing fine here.
Yes.
There's something l'd like to ask.
ls the First Emigration Fleet's Ieader, Kodai Yuki, here?
l'm afraid she's missing.
Actually, my current duties were supposed to be handled by Commander Kodai.
We were busy trying to warp out and escape underfierce enemy fire.
The ship she boarded warped without a person on board.
Oh, where is it?
lt's this ship.
So you couldn't find her body...
Yes.
l see.
l will keep searching for her.
Thank you.
From now on, that moon will become our Earth, huh?
l wonder i1the people of Amarl will call it Earth as well?
Sorry.
Well, people would oppose me if l were to call that moon Earth.
When l think that the Earth cannot be saved...
We have to accept it.
Without that resolve,
it would mean that mankind has merely run away from it.
Chief Sanada!
We have received a message from Captain Kodai.
We have landed on Amarl.
April 5th, 14:10 Earth time.
The situation is as follows:
6, 300 emigrant vessels,
162 escort ships.
Furthermore, we've met up with the survivors of the First and Second fleets.
This adds up to 630 million people.
After the maintenance works,
the Yamato will return with the six emigrant vessels.
Over.
He did it!
Kodai-san lives up to his name.
Yeah.
Thanks Kodai.
l'm awaiting your quick return.
Hey, wait!
Your leg hasn't healed yet.
You have to be patient for a bit longer.
Miyuki-chan!
Hello, Dr. Sado.
Kodai and his crew have safely landed on Amarl.
That's Kodai for you!
Miyuki-chan, at times like these just be honest and happy...
Dr. Sado...
My father has the Yamato.
Miyuki-chan, do you know...
... do you know how many lives he and your mom have saved?
Mother...
He couldn't save Mother!
lt's time to give it his milk.
Young kids are hard to understand.
lndeed.
Your Majesty.
l've heard that Amarl is working together with the Interstellar Alliance.
Long ago the center ofthe Milky Way sufFered from great wars.
Our country was sucked into those wars, and was ruined.
That situation continued over generations.
The first step toward peace was under the mighty SUS.
The flames of war stopped upon SUS's call of peace.
And that gave birth to the InterstellarAlliance.
So that's why the SUS is the Ieader ofthe Alliance.
Yes.
But in truth it's merely a tyrannical dictatorship under the guise of ''peace. ''
We ought to hate the SUS.
But...
But?
We're supplying the SUS with resources.
Resources?
Yes, there's a material that only exists on this planet.
And in return we are receiving the SUS's protection.
Could you really call this peace for Amarl?
Stop!
l'm General Pascal.
Go in there.
Captain Kodai, l'd like to ask you to leave our country at once.
lf we accept Terrans,
we will be punished by the InterstellarAlliance's forces.
ln the worst case, they would destroy this planet.
Please, leave this planet.
Are you saying that you'll bow down to a cowardly tyrant?
lt's to protect this country.
We don't have any time.
lfyou aren't going to listen to our plea, then...
We were too late!
l want you to stay out ofthis.
Please don't drive us further into this predicament.
Forward!
lt's them!
There's no mistake!
Them?
They attacked the First Fleet.
Sir, prepare to launch!
We'll get ready for the fight!
Wait!
How can you order us into combat readinessjust like that?
Only the Captain can decide that.
They're withdrawing.
l assume thatwasjust theirfirst wave.
Captain!
Give us the orderto sortie!
Captain!
What happened?
This is notjust our problem.
The SUS and Amarl are both members ofthe same InterstellarAlliance after all.
Our decision could greatly a_ect Amarl.
We cannot act carelessly.
No way. .
All hands, prepare for engagement and stand by.
Several enemy crafts on high altitude above the city.
Crap!
This has to be the second wave.
Call Me_ler.
Yes sir.
Commander Me_ler, why are you attacking Amarl?
Aren't we allies?
They are being sanctioned for defying the Greater Urup InterstellarAlliance's decision.
l believe the InterstellarAlliance didn't tell us to murder Amarl civilians as well.
Who decided that?!
lt's the SUS.
The SUS's decision is the decision ofthe InterstellarAlliance.
Now, Gorui, commence your attack already.
l refuse.
Admiral...
Your unpleasant attitude from yesterday has caught our attention.
l've just realized how you've degraded to the level of a pig.
l'll keep those words in mind.
Looks like you've finally let it out.
Humans cannot choose how they are born,
but they can choose how they die.
l want to die honorably!
lncoming transmission from Admiral Gorui.
Okay, l'll get back to the bridge.
Captain Kodai.
Admiral.
What we're doing is definitely not in order to protect the people of Earth or Amarl.
lt's the decision ofthe people of Ethos.
We have been oppressed in exchange for ''peace. ''
That's how the Interstellar Alliance truly operates.
We're hereby going to put an end to this!
The day will come when they realize how foolish their actions were.
Ourtarget is theflagship Maya,
Metzler!
Understood.
Full powerforward!
That's...
Crush Gorui!
Damn that Gorui!
Pascal.
What do you think of Ethos's decision?
Your Majesty!
The citizens have gathered in front ofthe royal palace!
Their numbers are gradually increasing!
Make Amarl independent!
Let's fight along with the Yamato!
Queen Ilya!
Declare our independence!
Let's fight along with the Yamato!
Declare our independence!
What do you say about their cries, Pascal?
Damn!
l want to kick their asses...
Why isn't the captain giving the orderto fire?
Yuki, Amarl is walking the path of peril for our Earth.
However, the Yamato can't do anything...
lfwe retaliate, Amarl can be saved.
But then humanity will lose its place to settle, and perish.
Your courage has always protected the Earth.
lt saved humanity.
You never succumb to injustice, and always hold up righteousness...
Even if it means risking your own life.
l'm sure you're not the only one who thinks that way.
The whole crew of Space Battleship Yamato must share the same feelings.
Oomura-san, send the emigration fleet ahead to Earth.
Nakanishi, relay my message to Queen Ilya ofAmarl.
Yes, sir.
Humankind will never succumb to tyranny and oppression.
Hereby, we declare war on the InterstellarAlliance,
and in order to uphold justice, we are ready to fight until the last man.
This might inconvenience the Kingdom of Amarl.
However...
Captain Kodai.
We havejust arrived to the same decision as you.
We have decided to fight the InterstellarAlliance...
No, the SUS.
We declare our true independence,
and we will fight the SUS until the last man.
Let's uphold justice together.
Attention all crew members,
the Yamato will abandon its mission to escort the emigration fleet,
and engage the enemy fleet.
Our enemy is the dictatorship, the SUS, that governs the West Star Systems, the Interstellar Alliance.
The Kingdom of Amarl has declared its independence.
And in order for mankind to survive,
we have no other choice butto defeatthe SUS.
This fight will decide our and Amarl's future!
There are things we can only protect by shedding blood.
Everyone, believe in what's right and engage the enemy!
Thank you Captain Kodai, Space Battleship Yamato.
Yamato, lift ofF!
Yamato, lift ofF.
l can't believe the InterstellarAlliance has experienced such a bitter defeat!
This cannot happen!
Our enemy is the filthy Terrans!
This is the greatest humiliation l've ever experienced!
ln the name of the Interstellar Alliance,
we will send the Yamato to Hell!
Captain, we've received a call from the ship that's following us.
General Pascal!
Captain Kodai, please allow us to take part in the battle.
You're back.
The Terran and Amarl fleets are approaching.
Reinforcements from Fride and Beldel have already arrived.
There's no reason to panic!
We will focus our attacks on the stronghold.
All hands, prepare for battle.
Cosmo Pulser Squad, heavy bombers, prepare fortake-o_.
Kobayashi, take charge o1 the Cosmo Pulser Squad.
Sakurai, take Kobayashi's station.
WhaâEUR''
Understood.
l, Kobayashi, will sortie with the Cosmo Pulser Squad!
Don't drop your guard, leader.
You too, Miharu.
Hury!
They're following us.
All right.
Miharu!
We're even now!
Just hide behind me when things get tense.
l'll make you eat those words.
Sakurai!
Sakurai-san!
l'll take his place.
Gouda, you will direct the battlefield.
Understood.
l'm fine.
Allow me to continue.
Kamijou, take the command.
Got it.
Crap! It's not responding!
Why has the output dropped at a moment like this?!
Come on, don't be so fickle!
Shou, let's run another systems check.
We're helpless ifwe get the order to fire the wave-motion cannon!
Yeah.
lt has stabilized.
C-Chief!
Sou! Shou!
What did l teach you two?
Can't you even use a wrench properly?!
We'll break through the middle!
Aim for the stronghold!
Yes, sir!
Kobayashi, the Yamato will break through the center.
Cover us.
Roger!
Maho, analyze that stronghold.
What's that gigantic energy flow?
l'm going to analyze it in the ECl.
Me_ler, when are you going to show me the demise ofthose monkeys?
Vey soon.
Prepare the hyper neutron beam.
Commander, i1we fire now, we will not only hit our own ships,
but the ships ofthe Alliance as well.
l don't care.
Shoot.
All ships, full speed ahead! Protect the Yamato!
General Pascal...
Take care of the rest... Yamato...
Even though they are both part of the Interstellar Alliance...
They wiped out their allies as well...
Relentless SUS bastards!
That's...
The otherAlliance fleets are withdrawing.
Looks like the death of General Pascal has opened our path.
We cannot let General Pascal's death be in vain.
We mustn't let this chance go, Captain.
Yes.
But evading that stronghold's beam is almost impossible.
Damn Yamato... It's still intact.
They don't pose the slightest threatto us.
Should we fire all canons and deliverthem to oblivion?
You're right.
Prepare all canons!
Prepare to fire all hyper neutron beams!
E-Emergency blow!
Emergency blow!
Dammit!
All fighters, pull back!
Hury!
Damn it! Don't screw with us!
Fire the batteries!
Fire bow torpedoes!
Missiles and main battery fire are being reflected.
lt must have a strong magnetic field.
Kamijou, call Cosmo Pulser Squadron back.
They mustn't get in that gigantic canon's beam.
Yes, sir.
Captain, l've got the results ofthe energy flow analysis.
l'm putting the results on-screen.
The energy flow wrapped around the stronghold
forms an enormous magnetic lield that serves as a defensive barrier.
The energy flow comes from the place where the beam was launched.
We assume that the canon's barrel also serves as a shield.
ln other words, as long as we don't destroy that shield,
none ofthe Yamato's attacks will ever reach the central command tower.
Captain, allow me to borrow the Shinano.
The Shinano?
The Shinano is equipped with 24 wave energy torpedoes.
l'm planning on using them to destroy the shield.
But the missiles haven't been tested yet.
That's why the young ones aren't cut out for this.
l'll test whether they work or not.
No, that's too dangerous!
l think they will be eflective if l launch them at point blank.
There's no other way to destroy that shield.
Oomura-san...
l'll be going, Captain Kodai.
Damn!
Eat this!
Oomura-san!
An unmarried man has nothing to lose!
Captain Kodai, can you hear me?
l can hearyou clearly, Oomura-san.
The three years l've spent with you...
That was the best voyage l could have asked for...
Thank you for everything.
l'm counting on you, young ones.
You have to protect mankind!
l'm leaving it in your hands!
No matter what kind of monster you're facing...
it always has a weakness or two!
Don't look down on Earth!
Don't underestimate Space Battleship Yamato!
l'll make you feel this one!
Metzler!
The shield has...
Oomura-san...
We will destroy those five towers before the enemy recovers!
Prepare the transition wave-motion cannon!
Captain, are we going to fire all six rounds o1 the wave motion cannon?
No, leave one.
We will fire five beams and crush those five towers.
Understood!
Energy level at 1200/o.
Understood.
Activating flywheel!
Kamijou, align the five beam cannons with those five towers.
Do not miss!
Y-Yes, sir!
Kamijou-san, l'm sending you the exact position of the beam gun.
Thanks, Maho.
Prepare the transition wave-motion cannon.
Open the target scope!
Visual crosshair, brightness 20.
Everyone brace for shock.
Equip your anti-flash goggles.
lncreasing wave-motion energy from 1000/o to 1200/o.
Kamijou, we're counting on you!
You can do it!
Yes, sir!
5...
_...
3...
2...
1...
Fire!
All beams have hit their targets!
Yay!
Enemy fire has stopped.
You did it!
You did it, Tactical OfFicer Kamijou!
Yahoo!
Yay!
We did it! Thank the heavens.
Kobayashi, change stations with Sakurai.
lt's too dangerous for him to continue with that wound.
Captain, check our 12!
What's that?
Fire all batteries!
Full speed ahead!
Roger!
Hard to port!
Full speed ahead!
That ''space submarine'' is amazing...
lt can manipulate dimensions and wander through them freely.
Second auxiliary canon damaged!
Torpedo tubes damaged!
Anti-air turrets on starboard are seriously damaged!
Full speed ahead!
Towards the sun!
The sun?
l don't have time to explain.
Just move!
O-Okay.
Understood.
Moving toward the sun!
lncrease the wave engine's output to 1200/o!
Understood! Understood!
W-What?
Kamijou.
Aim the transition wave cannon at the sun.
We discovered that it is linked to the enemy's power supply.
That's an artificial astral body camouflaged as a star!
The SUS's power source!
Understood!
Target: the sun.
Prepare to fire the wave-motion cannon.
Kamijou, shoot at the appropriate timing.
Yes, sir!
Open the target scope.
Equip your anti-flash goggles and brace yourselves.
Firing the wave motion cannon!
No good?
Something is appearing on the screen.
Wait!
Human.
We are diflerent from you;
we are many but we are one.
We were merely sent to maintain this universe,
and must seize this dimension.
Sent?
We'll give this world to you.
You may rule it.
We won't rule it.
We want to live together.
That's what this world means to us.
Human, l cannot understand your kind.
ls this nightmare over?
l don't know.
l still can't believe what l saw.
There's one thing we know for sure now.
What the SUS presented us as the ''truth'' is a lie.
My dear citizens of Amarl.
We have made noble sacrifices.
And thanks to the eHorts of Space Battleship Yamato,
we have finally won our independence.
This independence we have achieved
must be protected with honor forever.
lt's the Yamato!
The Yamato is returning to Earth!
Yamato...
We will arrive at the first long warp point in five minutes.
All right!
We'll go straight to Earth!
Warp!
The emigration fleet has returned.
Good.
Once the fleet has landed, begin maintenance.
We will depart in twelve hours.
Now we have to wait for the Yamato.
Warp finished.
We've caught up with the Cascading Black Hole!
Transferring the processed visuals.
Height: circa 304,OOO km.
Width: circa 338,OOO km.
lt's several times biggerthan Jupiter.
l-ls that thing going to swallow the Earth?
lt's like the Devil's mouth.
Maho, what's its location?
At 14:05 the center will be on a galactic latitude of 8
What's its velocity?
29,OOO kmrs.
lt'll hit the outer reaches of the Solar System in three days.
The Earth will be destroyed in three days!
Hurry up! We'll pe_orm the next warp!
Chief! Pluto has been swallowed!
lt swallowed Pluto, with a 2274 km diameter, just like that!
Processing the visuals.
Playing it in slow-motion.
What a monster!
How long does the Earth have?
Three more days.
Hurry up and get on the craft!
Hurry! We don't have any time!
Dr. Sado!
The rescue craft has arrived.
l'm staying here.
Me too.
Humans eventually die.
l've got so many memories here.
l'm fine with that.
Doctor...
But...
Miyuki-chan, if you disappeared as well,
yourfatherwould be all alone.
Kodai has been lighting because his beloved ones are waiting for him.
All the lights and journeys ofthe Yamato were like that.
l believe it was because there was always someone waiting for him.
But...
What a pain!
Analyzer!
Roger!
Analyzer! Let go of me!
Please continue to live, Miyuki-san.
Analyzer!
Bye!
Space Battleship Yamato has returned to Earth!
Thank you, Kodai.
l'm really sorry.
Sanada-san, we don't have any time.
Board the last remaining people onto the Yamato.
Okay, l understand.
Chief, the last emigrant vessel has departed.
Okay.
l hope they make it safely to Amarl.
What about you?
l will stay here.
Chief!
As a scientist, l want to witness the Earth until its vey last moment.
Sanada-san said that?
l see.
Shima, are you done housing all the people?
No.
The emergency craft that Sanada-san arranged for the Field Park
still hasn't returned.
Field Park?
The one that Dr. Sado and Miyuki-san boarded?
Yes...
What are you doing, Tactical O_icer?
They lost contact with the emergency craft occupied by the captain's daughter.
What?
ln that case, l will go!
l won't allow individual decisions!
Captain!
Kobayashi, get back to your station!
You too, Kamijou!
Captain, aren't you going to help your daughter?!
You still call yourself a father?!
Are you the captain of the Yamato?!
Didn't you hear me, Kobayashi?
Return to your post!
That is...
Captain Kodai!
So he planned to go by himselffrom the start.
Damn!
l can't believe l said that!
He did that to stop us from going, too.
Where are you, Miyuki?
42 minutes left.
Miyuki! Miyuki!
F-Father...
Can you get out?
Father!
Miyuki, are you okay?
Yeah...
Take this, Miyuki.
This is...
Mom's...
Yes, your mother isn't in Heaven yet.
She's somewhere out there in space.
l will find her the next time for sure!
Come with me.
Okay.
Father...
Don't throw your life away.
l guess it's about time.
Kodai, when first l saw you,
l believe you were still 18,
we boarded the Yamato together,
and later you and Mori Yuki gave birth to Miyuki-chan.
Take care of Miyuki-chan.
However...
l thought the animals would anticipate the danger, and start running away or crying.
Mii-kun, you are like their exact opposite.
Come here.
Even if you're a little kitty,
are you still prepared lorthe inevitability of destiny?
Thank you!
Farewell!
Thank you for everything, Earth!
Thank you!
Thanks for the wonde_ul memories!
Thank you!
l'll never forget you! Farewell!
Thank you!
Farewell!
Thank you!
Farewell!
l'll never forget you!
Thank you!
Farewell!
l'll never forget you!
Farewell! Farewell, Earth!
Thank you so much!
Farewell!
Humankind is about to lose the thing most precious to us.
We have come to realize this fartoo late.
Humans have always had the worst attitude toward her.
We stole, destroyed, wrecked, and rebuilt.
We thought we ruled over everything.
From the point of view ofthe immeasurable universe, this is just another inconsequential event.
We can't even save the Earth.
We're so powerless.
Ultimately, we failed.
Moving to a new planet is but a chance to start over.
What's this?
That's...
You're...
You were still alive?!
l've been waiting forthis.
The time has come for Earth to become a part of our dimension.
What appears to be a black hole to you,
is a door leading to our dimension.
The immense energy torrent that is created by the flux capacitor
is merely creating a little interdimensional crack.
What lies on the other side ofthat crack
is a dimension that is beyond anything you can fathom.
However, there aren't many planetary systems or stars that can serve as resources there.
We had no other choice butto get provisions from other dimensions in order to survive.
On top ofthat, in order to survive, we have chosen your world.
All things in space are essential resources for our dimension.
Humans, stars, organisms, inorganic substances...
Evey single atom serves to feed our dimension.
EaRh, you shall be devoured by our dimension!
Every living being
will be reborn as our new energy supply.
Farewell, Kodai.
l see!
lt was man-made.
Then there's something that operates the flux capacitor.
Maho, use the full capacity of the computer room,
and find where that interdimensional crack is!
Yes, sir.
Don't give up until the bitter end!
All hands, prepare for battle!
Understood!
The flux capacitor...
The crack in our dimension...
Where... Where is it?
That's it!
l've found the spot with the highest energy emission.
Putting it on-screen.
lt's 300 km away from the gaseous entrance, on the su_ace near the center.
So that's the black hole's true form?
All right!
Prepare the transition wave-motion cannon!
Understood!
Engine room, prepare the transition wave-motion cannon!
Captain, keep the influence of the gravity sphere created by the crack in mind,
orthe wave-motion cannon's energy will be stripped when we fire it.
We will fire once.
How about shooting all six rounds at once?
Maho, calculate the feasibility.
Understood!
All six rounds at once?!
Otherwise we cannot destroy that monster!
Captain, it's theoretically possible.
Just...
Just what?
Even ifwe manage to fire,
we don't know if the Yamato can handle it.
The Yamato isn't the one we need to protect!
lt's the Earth!
lf, by doing this, we can protect the Earth,
no one will complain, Captain!
Chief!
What's wrong?
The whole firing system is modifying itself!
The program was protected until now.
Because of the calculations in the computer room,
the program has launched itself.
Putting it on-screen!
lt's Sanada-san!
So there were things about the Yamato we didn't know yet.
As expected from Sanada-san.
But, he didn't implement it oflicially
as it's too risky and shouldn't be used unless it's an emergency.
Let's do it, Captain.
First and second wave-motion engine energy levels at 1200/o!
Preparing all rounds forfire.
Yamato, full speed ahead!
Captain, we have three minutes and 20 seconds left!
Sou, Shou, get ready!
Y-Yes, sir!
We're ready anytime!
Kamijou!
Move, Kamijou!
l'll do it!
Captain!
Eveyone, cover your eyes!
l'm putting the fate of Earth and the Solar System on the line.
Fire!
The infinite expanse ofthe universe...
A place filled with silence and light...
lfthere are stars that die,
then there are also stars that are born.
Yes...
The universe is alive.
