<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The enhancement in Version B continues as Yamato<\/em> lines herself up in the path of the roiling space flood.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though similar in composition, these two shots bracketed scenes of Captain Okita preparing to fire the Wave-Motion Gun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fatal burst tears Yamato<\/em> in half, just like its World War II predecessor. This, of course, was another chance to apply color enhancement in Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another rare case of a revised scene that wasn’t an improvement: the crew watches the vast, flood-stopping explosion from the safety of the Fuyuzuke<\/em>. Version A showed this clearly. Version B enhanced the scene to the point of blurring the ship out of view and then zoomed in to eliminate it entirely.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next we cut inside for reactions from Kodai and Yuki. Here’s another scene that was completely redrawn for Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Version A then cut in for close-ups of them both…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…while Version B stayed on the first shot and had Yuki move to Kodai and look away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We then go back outside to see the waters of Aquarius reform into a self-contained mass. Enhancement effects were applied to Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The waters coalesce in a long panning shot that goes to open space in Version A but includes a receding Aquarius in Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though taking on a substantial amount of water, Earth has escaped disaster. As with some earlier scenes, the planet was repainted for Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our last shot of the crew watching from Fuyuzuke<\/em>. Version B zoomed in tighter on this shot and lost some picture resolution as a result.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The flood begins to calm and we see the top of Yamato<\/em>‘s superstructure peeking out from the waves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The storm abates and the picture widens. In Version B, the water was slightly transparent, letting some starlight through. This is also where the color enhancements ended.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cutting out even wider, we see a different background and more water in Version B.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mysteriously, a mostly-intact Yamato<\/em> bursts out of the waves, trumpets its death knell, and slowly drops back down. This shot was retimed and reshot in Version B for a much longer descent into the watery grave.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The waves quietly lap for about a minute, and the two versions diverge for the last time. Version A goes to the epilogue and then the credit roll. B begins with the credit roll and then goes to the epilogue. In either case, the epilogue contains significant differences as we’re about to see.<\/p>\n
