Chapter 2: Launch Chapter<\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Episode 3: Impact \u2022 The legacy of Cosmo Reverse<\/em><\/h3>\n

From the theatrical program book (left side above):<\/em><\/p>\n

Is this the future <\/em>Yamato brought home at the end of the great voyage\u2026?<\/em><\/h3>\n

What is the true nature of Earth’s reconstruction that Kodai sees in the time fault? The Yamato<\/em> crew, who heard the voice of Teresa, approaches a moment of decision\u2026<\/p>\n

Kodai, arriving at the Garmillas embassy on the moon, hears the secret of Telezart and Teresa from Ambassador Burrel. However, it was almost unbelievable. <\/p>\n

Telezart is a legendary planet that was supposed to reach the pinnacle of civilization, and the residents were able to use their own will as a physical force. They were able to use this infinite power to the limit of their imagination, and they reached a plane where their spirit no longer needed a body. It crystallized as life in a distant dimension. That is Teresa. Teresa exists in the space between worlds, and is said to be a goddess who prays for peace for all. <\/p>\n

It’s like a fairy tale, and Burrel says there is a lot of evidence for her existence. He says that Teresa has summoned people in the past. Burrel then orders Keyman to guide Kodai to a certain place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the antigravity singularity (time fault), which was born as a side-effect of the Cosmo Reverse, time flows ten times faster than in the outside world. This different space made it possible for Earth to succeed in mass-producing a fleet including Andromeda<\/em> in just three years. This top secret military factory builds not only vessels for the Earth Defense Army, but also for Garmillas. This is the legacy of Earth’s revival.<\/p>\n

Angry over these facts, Kodai tries to negotiate for an investigation of Telezart by the Earth Defense Forces Command, but it ends in failure. Furthermore, everyone from the former Yamato<\/em> crew will be ordered to change stations. Kodai, with Sanada, decides to take on the disgrace of a traitor and launch Yamato<\/em>. However, he tells Yuki that he wants her to stay on Earth. She returns his engagement ring, saying that despite their time on the Iscandar mission, he really doesn\u2019t know her after all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Gatlantis vanguard fleet approaches the eleventh planet at the edge of the solar system.<\/p>\n

Episode 3 notes<\/span>
\n(from the video booklet)<\/em><\/p>\n

The story of Teresa and Telezart is told to Kodai by Ambassador Burrel. Teresa is defined as having an extra-dimensional presence.<\/p>\n

The existence of a time fault which underlies the worldview in 2202<\/em> is revealed in order to explain how five Andromeda<\/em>-class ships and so many other vessels in the Wave-Motion fleet were constructed in only three years. Time flows ten times faster inside the fault than outside.<\/p>\n

It should be pointed out that Garmilloids are working inside the time fault.<\/p>\n

In the first draft of the script, a woman [!] pours liquor for Dr. Sado.<\/p>\n

Episode 4: Departure to the unknown!<\/em><\/h3>\n

From the theatrical program book:<\/em><\/p>\n

Okita’s children proceed\u2026<\/em><\/h3>\n

Even if they are called traitors, there is a mission to achieve. Yamato<\/em> launches on an undesired voyage.<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> has secretly moved to a dock in the old underground city. Preparations for launch are ongoing. Everyone on the former crew gathers with Yamato<\/em> as their goal. Sanada, recognizing Kodai’s command instincts that go beyond logic, entrusts him with the seat of acting captain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the other hand, when Serizawa senses the disturbing movements of Yamato<\/em>, he sends in the armed forces. In the midst of battle, the main control room that controls water injection and the opening of the gate is destroyed. At Yamazaki’s suggestion, Kodai understands that it will be possible to control them from Yamato<\/em> if system data is transferred from the sub-control room, so Yamazaki, Hoshina, and Kiryu are dispatched as a trio. Along with Yuria Misaki, they successfully transfer the data but are forced to give up returning to Yamato<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> begins to move thanks to them, but neither Yuki nor Shima are seen on the first bridge. Yamato<\/em> moves away from the dock as Kodai’s ship, but Shima appears at the end of all this trouble, determined to depart with his friends.<\/p>\n

Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> leaves Earth once again\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Episode 4 notes<\/span>
\n(from the video booklet)<\/em><\/p>\n

The events of this episode correspond with those of Episode 4 of Yamato 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kodai and the others utilize Kirishima<\/em>, the only surviving battleship from the Garmillas war, to outwit headquarters.<\/p>\n

The scene after Sanada\u2019s water injection is roughly equivalent to the layout and dialogue from Farewell to Yamato<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The appearance of Yamato<\/em> bursting out of the water is one of the most outstanding anime scenes of all time.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the scene where Yamato<\/em> destroys the combat satellites comes from Yamato 2<\/em>, though their shape differs here.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

Episode 5: Clash! <\/em>Yamato vs <\/em>Andromeda<\/h3>\n

From the theatrical program book (left side above):<\/em><\/p>\n

Your son is a stubborn one, Okita-san\u2026<\/em><\/h3>\n

Yamato<\/em> vs Andromeda<\/em>!? Both ships fight to the finish here and now!!<\/p>\n

While on an exercise, the Andromeda<\/em> fleet receives news of Yamato<\/em>‘s rebellion, and the Yamamoto corps abandons their post to join up. Klaus Keyman, who rushed toward the commotion, directly appeals to Kodai to board Yamato<\/em> as an advisor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Captain Yamanami, in command of Andromeda<\/em>, pursues Yamato<\/em>. Yamato<\/em> is short on maintenance and cannot use the Wave-Motion Barrier, so there is no possibility of standing up to the newest ship. Therefore, Sanada proposes that they execute the “Asteroid Ship” plan. Yamato<\/em> is covered in rock to resist Andromeda<\/em>‘s attack, a strategy that earns time for more maintenance. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> fearlessly advances against Andromeda<\/em> even as the rocks are bombarded with hits. Andromeda<\/em> also continues straight on. There is an unnamed rivalry between the stubborn Kodai and Yamanami. Yamato<\/em>‘s Wave-Motion Barrier is restored at the last second, and both ships pass each other at close range after threatening to collide.<\/p>\n

A notice comes in from Defense Force Headquarters that Yamato<\/em> is cleared of suspicion of treason. Headquarters has relented in response to Ambassador Burrel of Garmillas. Members of Yamato<\/em>‘s flight corps are dispatched to the ship and Yamanami allows Kodai to pass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Episode 5 notes<\/span>
\n(from the video booklet)<\/em><\/p>\n

Cosmo Tiger IIs occupy the second hanger while Keyman\u2019s Czvarke is in the third hangar. If you look closely, the Cosmo Tiger I is also in the third hangar due to its large size.<\/p>\n

The asteroid ship disguise which appears in Episode 9 of the original series was regrettably omitted from Yamato 2199<\/em>. It was based on a preliminary concept for the Yamato<\/em> series called Asteroid Ship Icarus<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the first time Andromeda<\/em> and Yamato<\/em> engage in full swing.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Episode 6: Desperate struggle \u2022 The eleventh planet<\/em><\/h3>\n

From the theatrical program book:<\/em><\/p>\n

You decided to do it?<\/em><\/h3>\n

A space boat is collected by Yamato<\/em>, a ship from the eleventh planet which was exposed to the onslaught of the Gatlantis fleet. On board is Nagakura, a female member of the Space Cavalry, who escaped the crisis alone, swearing to bring rescue to her companions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The eleventh planet is located at the outer edge of the solar system. This frontier land, settled by the human race and Garmillas, has been overrun by Gatlantis and turned into hell. The civilians who barely survived are on the verge of annihilation. The closest Earth vessel that can deviate from its route is Yamato<\/em>. However, Defense Force Headquarters judges it to be too dangerous for a single ship. Yamato<\/em> is told to leave it to the Defense Forces and continue the search for Telezart.<\/p>\n

On board Yamato<\/em>, the senior officers discuss whether to follow the directive or go for a rescue. They decide to rescue the eleventh planet using Okita’s tactics from the assault on Balan. Kodai leaps into the heart of the enemy by warping.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a town reduced to rubble, Touko Katsuragi has escaped with a young Garmillas girl and Saito of the Space Cavalry, but they are cornered by Needleslaves. The Cosmo Tiger I comes flying in and the majestic figure of Yamato<\/em> appears! Yamato<\/em> goes to ground to rescue survivors while the Cosmo Tiger team fights an air battle above. However, Yamato<\/em>‘s Wave-Motion Gun is sealed and they can only fight defensively against the enemy’s overwhelming offensive. The powerful energy of the Gatlantis fleet strikes Yamato<\/em> during an escape run through a large valley!<\/p>\n

Is it Yamato<\/em>‘s destiny to be lost in the flames\u2026!?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Episode 6 notes<\/span>
\n(from the video booklet)<\/em><\/p>\n

In the original series, the name Faust was attached to the eleventh planet. In Star Blazers<\/em>, it was called Brumis.<\/p>\n

The Cosmodart vanguard fleet of Gatlantis was named after Admiral Cosmodart Naska from Yamato 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nagakura\u2019s line, \u201cI will not run away\u201d was spoken by Saito in the original Episode 6 of Yamato 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Armed guards<\/em><\/p>\n

Dispatched by Serizawa to prevent Yamato<\/em>‘s launch. They raid the dock aboard Cosmo Seagulls and destroy the control system for the main gate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dreadnought-class Vanguard Battleship<\/em><\/p>\n

The main battleship of the Earth Federation Aerospace Fleet. Built with the technical assistance of Garmillas, it has the same basic structure as the Gaiderol-class Space Battleship. Due to its characteristics, it can be said that the ship is a mass-production type of Yamato<\/em>. It is equipped with a Wave-Motion Gun which can be operated in dispersion mode, with two chambers arranged in series and a splitter in the muzzle. Together with the Andromeda<\/em>-class, it forms the core of the Wave-Motion Corps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asteroid Ship Yamato<\/em><\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> uses an exterior system devised at the time of Izumo plan. A passenger compartment was added to the outside of the hull and the concept was to have it covered with rock. Magnetron probes are attached to rock masses (asteroids), causing them to attach to the hull, sailing as an “asteroid ship.\u201d It became unnecessary after the ship was equipped with the Wave-Motion Barrier System. Shiro Sanada has the idea to operate it as a defense system (ARGO system), which creates an asteroid ring by guiding the rock mass in a rotating fashion that absorbs the enemy’s beam attacks.<\/p>\n

Even when Yuki appears before Kodai, having smuggled herself on board, the situation is not improved.<\/p>\n

Driven by need, Yamato<\/em> is hit by two huge traps and stopped at the planet Shutrabaze. Yamato<\/em> is attacked by a rebel Garmillas army, as if it was waiting there. During the confusion, Kodai comes face to face with a man embodying the intention of Gatlantis in ruins of the Akerius civilization. This man, who preaches absolute \u201clove\u201d as the truth of the universe says \u201cChoose your love,\u201d pressing Kodai to make a terrible choice\u2026<\/p>\n
