Translation and commentary by Anton Mei Brandt<\/em><\/p>\n

Following the norm of previous initial chapter teasers, this one appears to depict mostly moments from the very next episode, titled Fight To The Last! Protect the Immigrant Fleet!<\/em> With this in mind, one can begin to decipher the general outline: Yamato<\/em> will escape Digabelas<\/em> with the consecutive warp to avoid mutual annihilation in the unstable Dark Nebula, only to receive an urgent S.O.S. from the migration fleet and immediately head over to assist them. This just so happens to align with the basic premise for Episodes 10 and 19 of Yamato III<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Episode 10 depicts Yamato<\/em> responding to an Earth forces S.O.S. sent by Captain Dan (a conceptual precursor of sorts to 3199<\/em>\u2019s Seiya Kitano, also serving as a mentor to Ageha) leading to a scuffle with the series’ resident stooge, Galman-Garmillas General Dagon (this time Bolar commander Boroze) and the new fleet granted to him by Dessler. Episode 19 depicts Yamato<\/em> defending a group of alien pilgrims from Bolar commander Hakins, who intends to stop their voyage to planet Shalbart (this time Galman).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Immediately following Chapter 4\u2019s cliffhanger, Yamato<\/em> and Zerandal<\/em> confront Dezarium\u2019s massive Digabelas<\/em> fortress, hidden in a nearby dark nebula. An unknown female voice rings out. <\/p>\n

Unknown Female Voice:<\/em><\/span> “The time of showdown draws near.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Digabelas<\/em> is 3199<\/em>\u2019s take on Dezarium\u2019s Central Supply Base from Be Forever Yamato<\/em>. Its name has been thrown around by Ranbel in previous episodes. It\u2019s flanked by 2 Gorubas, which when you add up the 6 (now 5) surrounding Earth fills out the original 8 Goruba slots from Be Forever<\/em>\u2019s post-Digabelas<\/em> fight, the Goruba ambush. The BGM for this teaser is a new rendition of the original work\u2019s aptly titled Dark Nebula<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em> exchanges fire with a Goruba. Off-screen, Dessler shares his thoughts as Yamato<\/em>\u2019s engine begins to freeze.<\/p>\n

Dessler:<\/em><\/span> “The enemy is a witch who torments the universe…”<\/p>\n

Dessler\u2019s words reinforce the fear seen in Boroze in previous chapters, continuing to raise questions of whether Uralia is a space vampire from the SUS (Resurrection)<\/em>, a Zemulian (2202)<\/em>, Mother Shalbart\/Dezarium (Yamato III<\/em>), The Darqueen (Great Yamato)<\/em> or something else entirely. Also, the freezing effect on Yamato<\/em>\u2019s engine might not be a consequence of the witch, but rather Yamato<\/em> trying out its new consecutive warp system, seen later in this teaser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Back on Earth, Yuki appears to have discovered the truth of the Grand Reverse, at the very least its dual-usage role as a mind-wiping bomb capable of enslaving sentient Earthlings. She confronts Alphon in the wine cellar of his manor. <\/p>\n

Yuki:<\/em><\/span> \u201cYou lot…you\u2019ve handed Earth’s people over to Dezarium with just one bomb.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Earth, Makoto meets with Tsubasa\u2019s teacher Yoshiro, who wears a Dezarium com-medal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kodai contemplates the right way forward, and we see a running fighter battle past a Garmillan ship. <\/p>\n

Kodai:<\/em><\/span> \u201cIf it comes to annihilation here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

On the mecha side, we see 3199<\/em>\u2019s first rendition of the new Bolar fighter planes, which made a very rare appearance in episode 24 of Yamato III<\/em>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

images of war across space flood the screen, depicting Yamato<\/em> struggling to defend Earth\u2019s expelled Garmillan migrant fleet from a contingent of Bolar forces, seemingly led by Boroze. <\/p>\n

Alphon (off screen) shouts at someone, frustrated with Earthlings refusing to believe Dezarium\u2019s story. <\/p>\n

Alphon:<\/em><\/span> \u201cYou still won\u2019t recognize us to be your future?!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in space, Berth\u2019s Duke Ram confronts Bemlarze and his assistant Darya, in person.<\/p>\n

Duke Ram:<\/em><\/span> “Berm! (For) the bird of revolution!\u201d<\/p>\n

This part was the most interesting to me. Contrary to my expectations, Ram appears to go straight to the Bolar Federation\u2019s High Commissioner Berm von Bemlarze himself after allying with Dessler, without much struggle. It\u2019s my belief that he intends to appeal to Berm\u2019s emotions, to strike a chord in his heart which allegedly helped spark the revolution which brought down the former Bolar regime, by invoking the \u2018bird of revolution\u2019, a Soviet-style symbol of their federation. In fact, whatever Ram says before his vow shocks the stern-looking Berm into rising from his chair, much to Darya\u2019s shock. Could Bolar and Galman unite against the common threat of the witch of Uralia\u2026?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ram\u2019s ship Ra-Jendora<\/em> is escorted by Boroze to a massive fortress hidden behind a blue moon, likely the seat of Bolar\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Boroze is back. Poor man, if he\u2019s made into a fool again I doubt Bemlarze will appreciate his failures. Back in Yamato III<\/em>, he wiped out an entire planet – along with Boroze – as punishment.<\/p>\n

The fortress that appears bears striking stylistic resemblance to the 8th Task Force mobile command center from Yamato III<\/em> Episode 19, and its color scheme aligns somewhat closely to Berm\u2019s Mobile Fortress Zespaze<\/em> from the series’ final episode. For a paranoid group of revolutionaries struggling against enemies with planet destroying missiles, witch-like powers capable of \u2018freezing the universe\u2019, and never-ending threats on all sides, building a mobile fortress to serve as their defacto homeworld makes perfect sense. It\u2019s what Dessler tried to do with New Baleras in 2199<\/em> after all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Mother Dezarium\u2019s voice echoes, we see images of Domon preparing to fire the Wave-Motion Gun, Ranbel diving straight into battle, Lt. Alphon aiming a handgun, and Kodai in his flight helmet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mother Dezarium:<\/em><\/span> \u201cBy means of resonating waves\u2026now, to the true form\u2026 !\u201d<\/p>\n

After Ranbel\u2019s failure to stop Yamato<\/em> in the last episode, it appears he\u2019s giving his all to make up for that, possibly bringing Alphon and his spare body along to confront Kodai.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sasha, now awoken from her head injury last episode, is shocked to see Digabelas<\/em> with her own eyes as laser fire zooms past her monitor inside the spherical radar room.<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em>, glowing blue, prepares to go into its new consecutive warp mode as Skaldart and Mother Dezarium both speak of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

Skaldart:<\/em><\/span> \u201c(These) fragments of Iscandar\u2026 (they) are exactly as expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mother Dezarium:<\/em><\/span> \u201cSoon our wish shall be granted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Sasha blaming herself for agreeing to the Dark Nebula incursion? Or did her head injury unlock some memory that had been rooted out of her while she was Dezarium\u2019s prisoner? Can\u2019t wait to see what Dezarium\u2019s \u201cMillenium wish\u201d will turn out to be. Lots of excitement to come!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chapter 5 Name:<\/em><\/span> The Fierce\/Incandescent Galactic War<\/p>\n

The kanji used for \u201cfierce\/incandescent\u201d (\u767d\u71b1, hakunetsu) also means \u201cwhite heat\/light,\u201d or \u201cwhite glow,\u201d meaning that white is the key color next chapter.<\/p>\n
