Earth shot first\u2026 or did they?<\/h3>\n

To justify the persecution of Earth and its people, the SUS faction of the Urup Interstellar Alliance presents their first contact with Earth’s refugee fleet as a violent one, instigated by Earth. The SUS selectively edited together a misleading presentation of the event, successfully gaslighting the Alliance. If Earth wants war, they\u2019ll get it.<\/p>\n

2199<\/em> took this idea and turned it on its head. The war with Garmillas, selectively presented as having been caused by the evil demons of Garmillas, was actually started by Earth\u2019s rash decision to fire first at their alien visitors, motivated by fear of losing the initiative. Military propaganda aimed to keep this fact a secret, but throughout the course of 2199<\/em> the truth is set free. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Valiant Captain Yuki and reluctant Captain Kodai<\/h3>\n

After 17 years of marriage, Yuki still serves the EDF navy on her own ship, while Kodai\u2019s out cruising space as a member of Earth\u2019s cargo fleet. Since losing Yamato<\/em> and Captain Okita in Final Yamato<\/em>, it seems he\u2019s lost his way. He\u2019s scared of reentering the fray of battle. In spite of his worries, he\u2019s inevitably brought back to the fold by Sanada and the duty he feels toward his wife and daughter. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2202<\/em> took Kodai\u2019s weakened and depressed cargo-fleet self and latched it onto Shima, who like his Yamato 2<\/em> self, is reluctant to return to active military service. Episode 2 even implies that the Cargo Ship Yuki<\/em> (now named Kisaragi)<\/em> which drops off Kodai on the Moon was originally Shima\u2019s. Kodai took Nanbu and Aihara with him on the Yunagi<\/em>, while Shima took Ota, who served under him aboard Yamato<\/em>. <\/p>\n

2205<\/em> sees Yuki dress up in an approximation of her white Resurrection<\/em> uniform to Captain her own ship, Asuka<\/em>. Throughout 2205<\/em>, she acts as Kodai\u2019s strongest supporter in times of intimate rumination. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deadly battle with the SUS Space Fortress<\/h3>\n

Once Yamato<\/em> comes into contact with the main culprit behind the atrocities committed in Resurrection<\/em>, said enemy decides to fire on their own allies just to have a better chance at hitting Yamato<\/em>. What remains after that failed strike is the SUS Space Fortress. Utilizing subspace as a dimensional gateway, the fortress siphons power from a nearby sun to evade Yamato<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It has a thick, impenetrable shield of ancient origins. To break it down, you have to shut down its surrounding control towers. Newcomer to the Yamato<\/em> universe Omura sacrifices himself along with his ship the Shinano<\/em>, breaking the shield. Yamato<\/em> trudges on and fights against some of the fortress\u2019 extended blade-like appendages, almost being brought down in the process. But in the end, it succeeds. <\/p>\n

After losing, the SUS fortress leader Metzler reveals himself. After delivering a demoralizing speech about how Earth and its peoples are fated to die if they rebel against his supernatural kind, he jumps into the red entrance of his artificial black hole with arms stretched out, laughing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The main elements from this battle are spread out thinly in 2199<\/em> and 2202<\/em>. A thick, eldritch impenetrable shield? Granted to the Ark of Destruction. Not even hundreds of WMG\u2019s can manage to break that thing. <\/p>\n

Breaking down the Ark\u2019s connected appendages broke the shield? Check. For a more literal comparison, take a gander at the Pluto base in 2199<\/em> and its obfuscation field. <\/p>\n

Omura\u2019s sacrifice? Shifted to Kato and his Black Bird ship. <\/p>\n

To reach the comet\u2019s insides, it was required of Yamato<\/em> to pass through an alternate dimension. This was done with Frakken and his space submarines\u2019 help. <\/p>\n

The Ark and Gatlantis\u2019 Legionnaire Cannon require abundant amounts of energy from stars or planets in order to function, just like the SUS fortress. <\/p>\n

The Metzler scene? Passed on to Zordar in 2202<\/em> Ep 25, when he\u2019s sucked into the Ark\u2019s true form, cackling.<\/p>\n

Transition Wave-Motion theory<\/h3>\n

Yamato Resurrection<\/em> saw the ship beefed up to astronomical degrees, receiving six separate WMG barrels. By the end of the movie, the crew comes to the conclusion that they should theoretically be able to fire all six at once, referring to \u201cTransition Wave-Motion theory.\u201d In the movie\u2019s original cut, this all works out, resulting in the destruction of the Cascade Black Hole coming to swallow Earth. <\/p>\n

2202<\/em> took kernels of this idea and created a new formula for a super-WMG: The Transit Wave-Motion Gun. Early on in the story, the new character Klaus Keyman had infested the WM engine with anti-WM lattice. These microbial bacteria are capable of shutting down the engine at Keyman\u2019s command, leading to a moment of devastating, but temporary, betrayal in Episode 16.<\/p>\n

Later on, Sanada concludes that these bacteria could theoretically help amplify the WMG to such absurd degrees that firing this theoretical monstrosity would not only disintegrate the parasites, but also tear apart Yamato<\/em> itself. But as a consequence of all the strong bonds the crew formed with friends, enemies and everyone in-between, they gather all the tools and manpower necessary to power through the Transit WMG\u2019s self-destructive capabilities, firing it off without a hitch!<\/p>\n
