They rewrite it over and over again, and when it&#8217;s finalized, it&#8217;s often completely different from the original story&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After this, the staff members who draw the illustrations also have a hard time. The deadline is approaching, so they&#8217;ve been working all night.

In the movie <em>Farewell to Yamato<\/em> that was released last summer, Dessler jumps out into space and dies a tragic death. Some say, &#8220;He&#8217;s a great warrior. I think it would be better to let him die with dignity&#8230;&#8221; but what will happen to Dessler on TV!?<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault-images\/jan25\/M1C7904e.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The final act!<br \/>\nWhere will <em>Yamato<\/em> go&#8230;?<\/h2>\n<p><em>In green frame:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the movie, Kodai and Yuki both die along with <em>Yamato<\/em>.

The five or six main staff members, led by Nishizaki, who came up with the original idea, are desperately thinking about the content of the end. During the meetings, we come up with surprising ideas and plot twists, and it&#8217;s amazing.
