<\/p>\n

The giant object from Dezarium (called the “Grand Reverse”) intrudes into Earth’s solar system and gets fired upon, presumably by Bolar ships.<\/p>\n

Boroze’s voice:<\/em><\/span> Another light\u2026the light of Uralia, the witch’s breath at the center of the galaxy that freezes the universe.
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We see Boroze and Rebarus (who we met at the beginning of 2205<\/em> looking on in shock as their beams have no effect. They’re part of a Bolar contingent running raids on the edge of the solar system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Grand Reverse shoots past a field of debris and continues flying away toward the 11th planet.<\/p>\n

We don’t yet know exactly what Uralia is, but we can speculate that they’re talking about the “witch spirit” residing within Dezarium itself. “Uralia” is not a new term; it was the original name for the Dark Nebula Empire in Hideaki Yamamoto’s early 1979 script treatment for The New Voyage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Voice of Saki Todo:<\/em><\/span> Something’s approaching Earth. Something enormous!<\/p>\n

The Grand Reverse arrives at Earth’s doorstep to be met by Seiya Kitano and his fleet of Asuka-class ships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Seven wave-motion barrier missiles fail to stop its advance.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Domon asks about a new machine.<\/p>\n

Domon:<\/em><\/span> Is this something that was pre-programmed into the ship?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Dezarium Pleiades ship bursts through a cloud of smoke, just above an Earth Patrol Ship. <\/p>\n

Kodai, carrying an analog rifle, fires at an unseen adversary.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Commander Todo resolutely gives his orders as Dezarium soldiers descend from the sky. <\/p>\n

Todo:<\/em><\/span> Activate Operation DAD! (Yes, he pronounces it “dad.” Not D.A.D.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yuki, holding a rifle, is taken aback by something unseen. <\/p>\n

Dezarium troopers rain hellfire…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…on Earth’s Cosmo Marine mobile armors and a Garmillas tank.<\/p>\n

Earth’s Autonomous fleet of Ajax ships lose functionality, allowing the Grand Reverse to break through Earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Offscreen voice:<\/em><\/span> Systems down! Uncontrollable! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Grand Reverse drops into Earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Seiya Kitano looks into the camera.<\/p>\n

Seiya Kitano:<\/em><\/span> This was expected.
\nThat’s why I’ve gathered all of you experienced people here aboard Asuka.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earth citizens, including Makoto Kato and her son Tsubasa, stand in the capital city with bewildered looks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dezarium tripods systematically torch the city with surgical precision.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yuki:<\/em><\/span> Kodai-kun!<\/p>\n

Yuki, running to join Kodai aboard an evacuation craft, is shot in the shoulder from afar. Most likely by Alphon, if the original film is anything to go by.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kodai:<\/em><\/span> Yuki!<\/p>\n

Todo’s voice:<\/em><\/span> I want you to remember that Dezarium isn’t the only enemy in this battle..<\/p>\n

A flustered looking Nanbu sits in the back of what looks like a limo. (Remember, he’s the son of a very rich weapons manufacturer.) Ota and Aihara are in the front seats.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nanbu’s father Kozo calmly bears witness to Dezarium’s paratroopers descending on the city from inside a tall skyscraper. <\/p>\n

Back at EFDC command, a middle aged woman (new character) appears to confront Commander Todo, her gaze stone cold.<\/p>\n

Side note from Tim Eldred: in our unfinished comic book adaptation of <\/em>Be Forever (see it here<\/a>) a similar character – also female – tries to leverage power in the Earth government by becoming a collaborator with the Dezarium invaders. I get the same vibe here, but let’s see how it goes.)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A shielded Ginga<\/em> smashes into the hull of a Pleiades with full force, and we see Saki Todo in command. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Analyzer’s mutilated frame from 2202<\/em> lights up perhaps, broadcasting a message. <\/p>\n

AU09 (New):<\/em><\/span> Assemble, assemble, assemble. Yamato<\/em> fleet crew, assemble.<\/p>\n

Seated in a V.R. cockpit at an undisclosed location, Shima appears to pilot a Gladiator from afar. It doesn’t look like he’s winning.<\/p>\n

Credits: main voice cast<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quick shots of Domon and Dr. Sado, who has himself a cup of sake at Hero’s Hill (remarkably relaxed as the capital burns in the distance).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shinohara, now promoted to Captain of Hyuga<\/em>, is jolted out of his comfort zone. Perhaps he’s responding to Dezarium or Bolar forces?<\/p>\n

Close up of Caroline Raiden, most likely in her mobile armor<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quick shot of Sakamoto in his cockpit. Commanders Todo and Serizawa observe HQ’s digital status screen with resolute expressions. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kodai, reaching out from the evacuation craft, struggles to pull Yuki up with him. (Same hands seen in the original film.)<\/p>\n

Caption:<\/em> With the will to “resist” in our hearts<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, likely on Icarus, Sasha blinks and glances toward Sanada. <\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> stands ready and refurbished, encased in rocks from Asteroid Base Icarus.<\/p>\n

Caption:<\/em> The new Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> is launching!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lt. Alphon, unmasked, gets a close look at something (you can probably guess). His eyes lack the Dezarium eyeliner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We get a repeat shot of what’s most likely Earth’s sun going out of control, a hint at this story’s connections to Yamato III<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Finally, a view of Yamato<\/em>‘s gun barrels with the new stripes. Each one represents a mission flown.<\/p>\n
