- ( breathing heavily )

- LOCKING ONTO
THE GAMILAS BATTLESHIP.

HOW MUCH LONGER?

- Aihara: FIFTEEN SECONDS 'TIL
WE'RE CLEAR. KEEP THEM BUSY!

- ALL UNITS, CLEAR CANNON
TRAJECTORY AT ONCE.

- YES, SIR.
MOVING ASIDE.

- LET THE ENEMY COME IN CLOSER.

- FIVE SECONDS!

FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.

- ALL SHOCK-CANNONS,
FIRE AT WILL.

- ANY DAMAGE?



- THEY SURVIVED THE ATTACK.
OUR INTEL MUST BE OUTDATED.

- IT WAS THE NEWEST
DATA WE'VE GOT.

THEY TOOK OUR BOMBARDMENT
LIKE IT WAS NOTHING.

- ( exclaims ) AFT HULL DAMAGED.

CAPTAIN, WE'RE LOSING THRUST.

- ( screaming )

- THE GAMILAS SHIPS ARE
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER BARRAGE.
- CAPTAIN, THE FUZUYUKI!

- OUR HULL DAMAGE IS
ALREADY AT CRITICAL.
- IT'S BEEN DESTROYED.

- ALL HANDS WERE LOST!
REPEAT, ALL HANDS LOST!

- ( screams )

- COME ON,
WE GOTTA PUT THIS OUT.

- I'M ON IT.

- THERE'S NOT
A SHIP IN THE FLEET,

THAT CAN DESTROY
THE FOE WE NOW FACE.



- INCOMING MESSAGE.
IT'S THE YUKIKAZE.

- CAPTAIN, WE'RE IN
A BAD WAY HERE.

RETREAT WHILE YOU CAN.
I'LL BUY YOU SOME TIME.

- KODAI, DON'T BE SUCH A FOOL.

- IF I CAN HELP YOU ESCAPE,
I WANT TO.

- DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY
FOR AN OLD MAN LIKE ME.

- CAPTAIN OKITA,

I'M HONORED TO HAVE
FOUGHT AT YOUR SIDE.

HOPE I DID YOU PROUD.

SANADA, GIVE 'EM HELL.

- KODAI, WAIT!

- KODAI.

- Narrator: THE EDGES OF SPACE
REACH OUT INTO INFINITY.

IT IS A REALM OF SILENCE,
AND LIGHT.

OLD STARS PERISH, WHILE
OTHERS ARE BORN ANEW.

AND THUS, THE LIVING
UNIVERSE ENDURES.

BUT IT IS IN THIS MOMENT,

THIS GRAIN IN
THE DESERT OF TIME,

THAT ONE PLANET MUST
FACE ITS GREATEST PERIL.

IN 2194, AN UNKNOWN FOE APPEARED

WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
IN THE SPACE OFF OF MARS.

THEY ATTACKED
WITHOUT PROVOCATION,

RAINING THE FIRST OF
MANY METEORITE BOMBS
DOWN UPON THE EARTH.

IT IS NOW 2199,
FIVE LONG YEARS LATER.

OUR ONCE BEAUTIFUL PLANET
HAS BEEN CRIPPLED WITH
RADIATION FROM THE ATTACKS.

WHAT REMAINS OF HUMANITY
STANDS ON THE EDGE
OF EXTINCTION.

PEOPLE HAVE ABANDONED
THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH,

SCRAPING OUT A DESPERATE
SURVIVAL UNDERGROUND.

DEVOID OF HOPE,
MANKIND SITS IN THE DARKNESS,

WAITING FOR THE END.

- I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.

YOU'RE ONE OF THEM
IDIOT SCAVENGERS.

YOU BUST YOUR ASS
TO FIND SCRAP METAL,

GIVE IT TO THE DEFENSE FORCE.

LIKE IT'LL DO US ANY GOOD.

EARTH IS DONE FOR.
STOP FOOLING YOURSELF.

- SAVE YOUR BREATH, MAN.

HE'S GOT A HOOK-UP.

HIS BROTHER IN THE MILITARY,

TRADES HIM SOME PRETTY SWEET
STUFF FOR THAT SCRAP METAL.

HE GIVES HIM DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

- IS THAT RIGHT?
YOUR BRO'S MILITARY?

- OFFICER, YEAH.

SECRET'S OUT.

YOU TRADE RARE METALS
FOR THE GOOD STUFF, MAN.

- SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.

SORRY I BUSTED YOUR BALLS.

HEY, YOU SHOULD INTRODUCE
ME TO THAT BROTHER...

THE HELL'S YOUR PROBLEM?

( groans )

- ( rumbling )

- Analyzer:
I AM PICKING UP LITHIUM,

FIFTY CENTIMETERS
BELOW THE SURFACE.

RADIATION DENSITY OF OBJECT,
FOURTEEN SIEVERTS.

THAT IS TWICE THE
FATAL AMOUNT.
YOU WILL DIE.

- TELL ME SOMETHING
I DON'T KNOW, ANALYZER.

- SORRY.
FLYING PROJECTILE INCOMING.
AVOID POINT OF IMPACT.

- ( screaming )

( gasping )

( gasping continues )

- THIS IS IT, SIR.
THE CAPSULE THAT CRASH-LANDED.

- ( electronic buzzing )

- Okita: SO, WHAT'RE
WE LOOKING AT?

- IT'S LIKE A SCHEMATIC
OF SOME TYPE.

- WHO BROUGHT IT IN?

- A CIVILIAN LOOKING
FOR METAL TO SALVAGE.

- TOOK A LETHAL DOSE
OF RADIATION

WHEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT
KNOCKED OFF HIS MASK.

THEY'RE SCRUBBING HIM
DOWN AS PER PROTOCOL.

THAT SAID, THE ODDS OF HIM
SURVIVING ARE SLIM.

- Susumu: OKITA!

- Man 1: YOU CAN'T
GO IN THERE.
- Man 2: STAY BACK.

- Susumu: I WANNA SEE HIM.
- THIS AREA'S OFF-LIMITS.

- Susumu: OKITA!
- THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT.

- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
- GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

HE'S HIGHLY TOXIC.
HE'LL CONTAMINATE THE SHIP.

- HEY, OLD MAN! YOU OKITA?

- IF I AM?

- YOU LET THE YUKIKAZE
TAKE THE ATTACK,

WHILE YOU RAN OFF
TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY.

RIGHT?

- ANSWER ME!
- KODAI! THAT'S ENOUGH!

- WHO ARE YOU?

- MY BROTHER MAMORU WAS
THE CAPTAIN OF THE YUKIKAZE.

- SO YOU'RE SUSUMU?

- YOU USED MY BROTHER
AS A SHIELD.

YOU LET THEM DIE SO YOU COULD
RUN HOME WITH YOUR TAIL
BETWEEN YOUR LEGS, DIDN'T YOU?

HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

- LIKE A BABY.
SHOULDN'T I?

- ( laughs )

YOU HAD THIS COMING.

- WELL, AT LEAST HE WAS THERE.

- SO SAYS HIS GUARD DOG.

- YUKI MORI?
- YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S EASY TO JUDGE WHEN
YOU'RE BACK ON EARTH.

WE'RE FIGHTING A WAR OUT THERE.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT
BETTER THAN ANYONE.

- GIVE ME A REASON.

- TOUGH GUY, HUH?
PUT THE GUN DOWN!

WE'LL SEE HOW TOUGH YOU ARE!

- SHUT UP!
- KODAI!

SOMEBODY HAD TO MAKE IT
BACK HERE ALIVE.

- ( groans )

- SAITO, STOP ROUGHING HIM UP!

HE'S ALREADY INJURED!

- Susumu: SCREW YOU!
- SHUT UP!

- CAPTAIN OKITA,
I'M VERY SORRY.

I DIDN'T THINK
HE'D REACT LIKE THAT.

YOU SEE, I TOLD HIM
THE DETAILS OF HOW
HIS BROTHER DIED.

THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
HE'S YELLING AND...

- DR. SADO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

- THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

- THAT MAN,

HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE AFTER
ALL THE RADIATION HE TOOK?

- FRANKLY, I HAVE NO IDEA.

- THEY HIT YOU HARD,
DIDN'T THEY, CAPTAIN?

- WIPED US OUT.

WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE.

WE HIT THE GAMILAS WITH
EVERYTHING WE HAD TO NO AVAIL.

- WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT
OR EVEN WHO THEY ARE.

- THEY WANT US DEAD.

AND WITH EVERY BATTLE WE FIGHT,
IT GETS HARDER.

THEY LEARN OUR TACTICS.

- IT'S THEIR MOVE,

AND SOON THEY'LL PUT
THE EARTH INTO CHECKMATE.

AND SO,

THE TIME HAS COME
TO ABANDON OUR HOME AND
FLEE WITH A CHOSEN FEW.

- THIS IS OUR GREATEST SHIP.

WHICH IS WHY I'M ASKING FOR IT.

- WHAT DID YOU SAY?

- DON'T USE IT TO
GRANT THE ELITE
A FEW MORE DAYS OF LIFE

THAN THOSE THEY LEAVE BEHIND.

GIVE ME PERMISSION TO TAKE
THE SHIP ON A VOYAGE OF HOPE.

GIVE HUMANITY SOMETHING
TO BELIEVE IN.

A STAKE IN THEIR OWN FATE.

TO KNOW WE GAVE IT OUR ALL.

LET THEM DIE ON THEIR FEET.

- AND WHAT STORY WOULD YOU
HAVE ME TELL THEM, OKITA?

WHAT HOPE IS THERE?

PEOPLE OF THE
NATION OF JAPAN,

AND ALL OF THE NATIONS
OF THE EARTH.

I COME TO YOU WITH
AN ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING
THE FUTURE OF MANKIND.

I HOPE THAT YOU WILL
TAKE IT WITH EQUANIMITY.

RECENTLY, A CAPSULE OF
ALIEN ORIGIN CRASH-LANDED
OFF CAPE BONOMISAKI.

ANALYSIS OF THE CAPSULE
HAS YIELDED A MESSAGE OF GRAVE
IMPORTANCE TO ALL HUMANITY.

THIS, WE BELIEVE,
IS A REPRESENTATION
OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,

WHICH MEANS THIS IS
OSTENSIBLY OUR GALAXY,
THE MILKY WAY.

THE MESSAGE CAME FROM A GALAXY
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND
LIGHT-YEARS AWAY,

KNOWN AS THE LARGE
MAGELLANIC CLOUD.

FROM A PLANET
THEY CALL ISKANDAR.

THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE US
WITH A DEVICE OF THEIR MAKING,

THAT ELIMINATES RADIATION
RESTORING EARTH
TO ITS FORMER GLORY.

TO THAT END,

WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO
SEND OUR FINAL SPACE BATTLESHIP,

TO GO AND RETRIEVE THAT DEVICE.

- CAN ONE OF OUR
SHIPS GO THAT FAR?

- COULD IT HAVE BEEN
SENT BY THE GAMILAS?

- COMMANDER, HOW LONG
WILL IT TAKE IT GET THERE?

- TO ANSWER THAT SPECIFICALLY
WOULD BE A DANGEROUS BREACH
OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

THANKFULLY, OUR BENEFACTORS
HAVE PROVIDED US WITH TECHNOLOGY

WHICH ALLOWS ONE TO MAKE
THE JOURNEY QUICKLY.

- YOU'RE GAMBLING
WITH OUR FUTURE!
- COMMANDER!

- THAT DOESN'T GIVE US
MUCH TO GO ON.

- HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN THE
SHIP'LL GET BACK IN TIME?

- SHOULDN'T THE PUBLIC HAVE
A SAY IN THIS DECISION?

- WE ARE NOT PUTTING THIS
TO A VOTE.

THERE'S NO TIME.

THE PLANET IS IN PERIL,

AND I'LL BE DAMNED
IF WE MEET OUR END

BECAUSE WE TALKED OURSELVES
IN CIRCLES INSTEAD OF ACTING.

AS OF TODAY, OUR SCIENTISTS
PREDICT THAT HUMANITY WILL
BE EXTINCT WITHIN A YEAR.

AND MAYBE SOONER.

SOME ARE SAYING
WE ONLY HAVE MONTHS.

IF WE DON'T ACCEPT
ISKANDAR'S OFFER,

OUR PLANET WILL DIE.

THIS VOYAGE IS OUR LAST HOPE.

PEOPLE OF THE EARTH,

IF WE OBTAIN THIS
MIRACULOUS DEVICE,

WE CAN RECLAIM OUR
BIRTHRIGHT AS HUMAN BEINGS,

LEAVE THE TUNNELS,

AND LIVE WITHOUT FEAR
ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET.

THIS IS OUR DARKEST HOUR,
MAKE NO MISTAKE.

BUT WE CAN'T STAND IDLY BY
AND LET THE GAMILAS

FINISH BOMBING US
INTO OBLIVION.

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN
THIS LAST CHANCE,
AND WE WILL TAKE IT.

THROUGH OUR VALOR
AND OUR RESOLVE,

MANKIND WILL REWRITE
ITS OWN DESTINY.

REMEMBER OUR BEAUTIFUL,
VERDANT EARTH.

IF WE CAN LOOK TO THE SKIES
WITH COURAGE,

THIS ONE LAST TIME,
IT CAN BE OURS ONCE AGAIN.

TO THIS END, WE'RE ACCEPTING
VOLUNTEERS WITH EXPERIENCE

IN DEEP SPACE OR THE MILITARY.

IF YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS,

I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER

- ENLISTING FOR THIS
MOMENTOUS VOYAGE.
- JUST STAY PATIENT, FOLKS.

WE'LL GET TO ALL
OF YOU EVENTUALLY.

- Sado: IT LOOKS LIKE
YOUR PAPERWORK CHECKS OUT,
SO, WELCOME ABOARD.

MECHANIC, HUH? YOU GET THE
WHITE AND BLUE SUIT. HERE.

- SUSUMU KODAI.

- HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?
- HUH?

- I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
DIED DAYS AGO.

EYES LOOK NORMAL.

OPEN YOUR MOUTH?

- DOCTOR, THERE'S KIND
OF A LINE, YOU KNOW?

- OH. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

SAYS HERE YOU HAVE
EXPERIENCE LEADING A...

IS THIS A JOKE?
YOU LED A FIGHTER SQUADRON?

- I LEFT THE SERVICE,
BUT NOW I'D LIKE TO RE-ENLIST.

OH, AND YOU CAN
HANG ONTO THAT.

I'M KINDA PARTIAL
TO MY OLD ONE.

- ( cat mewing )

- GOOD KITTY.

- HOLD ON A SECOND!

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

- WHY NOT?
- YOU TRIED TO
ASSAULT THE CAPTAIN.

- YEAH, AND?
- WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

- BACK OFF!

- WHAT'RE YOU TRYING
TO PULL, KODAI?

- NOTHING, OKAY?

- ( alarm sounding )

- RED ALERT. ALL HANDS
REPORT TO BATTLE STATIONS.

- RED ALERT. ALL HANDS
REPORT TO...
- ASSEMBLE THE BLACK TIGERS.

I'M HEADING TO
BRIDGE NUMBER ONE.

- YOU CAN'T ORDER ME AROUND.

- AS OF MY RE-ENLISTING,
I'M YOUR SQUADRON LEADER.

GO OUT THERE AND
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.

- Todo: OUR SENSORS
JUST PICKED UP THE SIGNATURE
OF A GAMILAS MISSILE.

IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT
FOR YOUR COORDINATES.

IT'S TARGETING THE SHIP.

AND OUR GUNS
CAN'T DESTROY IT.

- PREPARE TO LAUNCH.
SHIMA, READY THE WAVE ENGINE.

- TOO LATE TO GET AWAY.

- SANADA.
- SIR!

- PREPARE THE WAVE-MOTION
GUN FOR USE.

TARGET, THE GAMILAS MISSILE.

- BUT THE WAVE-MOTION GUN
HASN'T BEEN TESTED.

- WILL IT WORK?

- YES. I THINK SO,
BUT I CAN'T BE SURE.

- IF IT FAILS,
HUMANITY IS DONE FOR.

THAT WON'T OCCUR ON MY WATCH.

- I UNDERSTAND. KODAI?
- SIR?

- HAVE YOU READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GUN?

- YES, SIR. KINDA.

BUT IT'S ALIEN TECH
I'VE NEVER USED BEFORE,

SO I CAN'T VOUCH FOR IT.

- NO TIME FOR MAYBE.

IT'S DO OR DIE.

- TWELVE HUNDRED KILOMETERS.

- RAISE WAVE-MOTION
ENGINE PRESSURE.

- SAFETY VALVES TO SHUT.
- AYE-AYE.

RAISING ENGINE PRESSURE.
CLOSING ALL SAFETY VALVES.

- OPEN UP THE MOTION CHAMBER.

- AYE-AYE. UNDERWAY.

ROUTED TO GUN.

READY THE FORCED
INDUCTION AND GO.

- YES, SIR. INITIATING.

- PREPARE TO FIRE.

SHIMA, GIVE KODAI THE CONTROLS.

- KODAI, IT'S ALL YOU.

- ( exclaiming )

- SORRY 'BOUT THAT.

- KODAI, DISENGAGE THE SAFETY.

- DISENGAGING, CAPTAIN.
LOCKS ARE AT ZERO.

PRESSURE APPROACHING
FIRING POINT.

OVERRIDING FAIL-SAFES.

- YAMATO IS NOW ALIGNED

- COMMANDER,
OUR SYSTEMS ARE DOWN.

- BRING US ONLINE.

- BACK-UP IMAGING FEED INCOMING.

- WHERE IS THE SHIP?

- UNSURE. I CAN'T TELL.

- WAS IT VAPORIZED?

- COMMANDER.

YAMATO SURVIVED!

- THEY DID IT.
THEY ACTUALLY SURVIVED THAT.

- WE JUST SHOWED THEM OUR HAND.

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO
SURPRISE THE GAMILAS
WITH THAT WEAPONRY AGAIN.

- YOU DID WHAT YOU HAD TO DO
TO PROTECT YOUR SHIP.

THAT'S ONE HELL OF A
CHRISTENING SHE GOT.

ARE YOU READY TO EMBARK?

- YES.

I WANT TO LEAVE THE SOLAR SYSTEM
BEFORE THE GAMILAS
HAVE TIME TO TRY IT AGAIN.

- UNDERSTOOD.

YAMATO.

GO WITH GOD!

- THERE AND BACK.

TWENTY FOUR HOURS FROM NOW,
WE TEST THE WARP DRIVE.

- All: ROGER!

- HELL OF A FIRST DAY
YOU HAD, HUH?

- YOU'LL HAVE YOUR FUN TOMORROW,
WHEN IT'S WARP TIME.

( chuckles )

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE,
BUT I'M SURPRISED, YOU KNOW?

- WELL, SHE IS OUR LAST SHIP.

I DID IT FOR JIRO, TOO.

- JIRO. HOW OLD IS HE NOW?

- FIVE YEARS OLD.

- NO KIDDING. HUH.

HE'S GROWING UP. RIGHT ON.

- HEY, KODAI!

- KATO. YAMAMOTO.

NO WAY.

- TURNS OUT, WE ALL
GOT POSTED HERE TODAY.

WHEN WE HEARD YOU WERE
BACK IN THE SERVICE,
WE JUMPED AT THE CHANCE! RIGHT?

- YOU KNOW IT.
- YES, SIR.

- FURUYA.
- HEY, WHAT'S UP?

- WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT
HIDING BACK THERE?

- I WASN'T HIDING, I WAS JUST...

- ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'LL CURE YOU OF THAT.

- HE GOT YA, FURUYA.
- YEAH. CUT THAT OUT, MAN.

- TEAM KODAI,
REPORTING IN FOR DUTY.

REQUESTING CHANCE
TO REJOIN YOUR SQUADRON.

- THE TEAM'S STILL
NAMED AFTER ME?

- YEAH, IT'S EVEN
ON THE JACKETS.

- LOOK AT THOSE CORNY
PATCHES THEY GOT.
WHAT THE...

- ( all laughing )

- WE BROUGHT A LITTLE
SOMETHING ALONG.

YOU DON'T WANNA TOAST OUR
REUNION WITH WATER, RIGHT?

- I GUESS WE GOTTA.
ALL RIGHT, YOU SLACKERS.
- THIS IS SO EXCITING!

- TAKE A SEAT.
WE'RE GONNA DO THIS PROPER.

- Yukimori: WANNA TELL
YOUR FAN CLUB
TO PUT A SOCK IN IT?

CAN BARELY HEAR MYSELF THINK.

- COME ON.

- WHY ARE YOU GETTING
ON OUR CASE?

- IF YOU WANNA BE ALONE,
THE MESS HALL'S THE
WRONG PLACE FOR IT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY
OF THESE GUYS IN YEARS.

I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM
IS IF WE GET A LITTLE FEISTY.

- OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

TEAM KODAI CAN
DO NO WRONG.

CUE AN EVENING OF YOU
RELIVING YOUR
DUSTY OLD GLORY DAYS.

- WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

- HEY, NOW.

YOU USED TO BE PART OF
THE TEAM, BACK IN THE DAY.

- YOU WERE A ROOKIE,
WITH HUGE DIAPERS,

TO MATCH THE SIZE
OF YOUR HEAD.

- ( all laughing )

- YOU'RE GRUMPY 'CAUSE
I'M GONNA BEAT YOUR RECORD.

I UNDERSTAND.

- OH, KODAI, SO NICE
OF YOU TO JOIN US AGAIN.

- WHY'D IT TAKE YOU
SO DAMN LONG?

- WHAT DO YOU CARE?

- YOUR OWN BROTHER
WAS KILLED IN BATTLE.

OUR FLEET WAS ALL
BUT DESTROYED.

WHILE WE FOUGHT AND
DIED IN SPACE,
YOU WERE SAFE ON EARTH,

PICKING THROUGH SCRAP METAL.

YOU GOT SCARED.

AND SO YOU RAN AWAY,
DIDN'T YOU?

WHAT I CAN'T STOMACH,

IS THE THOUGHT OF THE
GREAT SUSUMU KODAI

SO BEATEN AS A PILOT
AND A MAN,

THAT HE'D RUN.

- THAT DOES IT!

- WHAT THE HELL WERE
YOU THINKING? DUMBASS.

- ATTENTION, CREW.

WHEN THE YAMATO REACHES
THE ORBIT OF THE PLANET MARS,

WE WILL CONDUCT HUMANITY'S
FIRST ATTEMPT AT WARP TRAVEL.

IF WE FAIL, WE WILL DIE,

AND ALL MANKIND WILL
FACE DESTRUCTION.

KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU
FOCUS ON YOUR DUTIES.

THAT IS ALL.

- Woman on PA: ALL HANDS,
STAND BY FOR WARP.

- EXCUSE ME.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

- WE'RE GONNA GO FASTER
THAN ANYONE EVER. SEE YA.

- HEY, AKAGI.
- YEAH?

- GET ME PREPPED.
- ON IT!

BT1, ON DECK!

- ROGER!
- ROGER!

- LIKE SITTIN' IN A COCKPIT'S
GONNA HELP IF THE WARP GOES BAD.

- SAVE IT. YOU'RE
WASTING YOUR BREATH.

- WARP!

- WARPING, CAPTAIN!

- ( engine whizzing )

- WE'RE ALIVE,
BUT DID IT WORK?

- HEY.

LOOK AT THAT.

- NO DAMAGE TO THE HULL, SIR.

- THERE'S NO GRAVITY FIELD.
IT'S ALL CLEAR AHEAD OF US.

- WARP WAS SUCCESSFUL.

- ALL RIGHT. YEAH.
KODAI, WE MADE HISTORY.

- THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

- THIS IS SOME SHIP!

- RE-EMBARKING ON PRIOR COURSE.

- KODAI!

( chuckling )

- ( sighs )

HOLD ON.

AIHARA, CHECK OUT
OUR ONE O' CLOCK.

- GAMILAS SQUADRON.

- DAMN IT! WHY'D YOU
DROP US OUT HERE?

- HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?

- MAYBE THEY TRACKED
OUR WARP ENERGY OUTPUT.

- ALL HANDS REPORT
TO BATTLE STATIONS.

READY THE GUN!

- RIGHT AWAY!
- Sanada: PROBLEM.

WE CAN'T USE THE WAVE-MOTION
GUN AFTER WARPING.

THEY BOTH DRAW FROM
THE SAME POWER SOURCE.

- DAMN IT!
- Okita: SO BE IT.

CHIEF TOKUGAWA,
HOW LONG 'TIL WE CAN
WARP AGAIN?

- OUR ENERGY'S DEPLETED.

TWENTY MINUTES, AT LEAST.

- AIHARA, CAN YOU PINPOINT OUR
DESTINATION IN TWENTY MINUTES?

- DEFINITELY, CAPTAIN.

- KODAI.
- SIR!

- CRIPPLE THE GAMILAS
WARP ENGINES
SO THEY CAN'T FOLLOW US.

- ROGER THAT.

BLACK TIGERS, IT'S KODAI.
TARGET THE ENEMY WARP ENGINES.

- YA READY TO ROLL?
- All: READY!

- Yuki Mori: SORRY, GUYS.
TOO SLOW.

- DAMN IT, SHE BEAT
US TO THE PUNCH!

- GUESS SITTIN' IN HER FIGHTER
WAS PRETTY SMART.

- ( grunts )

- IF YOU'RE TRYING
TO SHOW OFF, CUT IT OUT.

- GUESS AGAIN, FEARLESS LEADER.

THIS IS HOW I SURVIVED
THE FIGHT OFF OF MARS.

- WE WARP IN TWENTY MINUTES.
TRY NOT TO BE LATE.

- ROGER THAT.

- ( missiles firing )

- ( grunts )

YOU LIKE THAT?

- LOOK AT YOU.

- ( grunts )

- NO WORRIES, HOT-SHOT.
WE GOT YOUR BACK.

- ALL RIGHT, BLACK TIGERS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE HONE IN
ON THAT GAMILAS MOTHER SHIP?

- WORKS FOR ME.

TARGETS PAINTED, KODAI!

- READY THE CANNONS.
- CANNONS AT THE READY!

- JACKPOT!
- ALL RIGHT!

- CHECK IT OUT!
- WOW.

NEVER SEEN 'EM IMPLODE.

- THE TARGET WAS DESTROYED!

- YES!
- YES!

- ALL RIGHT!
- YES. KODAI, GOOD JOB!

- HELL OF A JOB.

RETURN TO THE YAMATO.
WE'RE ALMOST READY.

- SHIMA, HOW MUCH LONGER?

- WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY
TO WARP IN, FIVE MINUTES.

- AIHARA, HAVE YOU FOUND
SOMEWHERE SAFE FOR US TO GO?

- ALMOST, SIR.

- SIR, IT'S KATO.

THERE'S NO SIGN
OF MORI OUT HERE.

WE CAN'T RAISE HER
OVER THE COMMS.

- Susumu: WHAT?

BT1, COME IN.

BT1, DO YOU READ?

- ( alarm sounding )

- SAY SOMETHING.

- I READ YOU.

- STATUS?

- Automated voice: OXYGEN SUPPLY
REACHING CRITICAL LEVELS.

SUFFOCATION IMMINENT.

OXYGEN SUPPLY REACHING
CRITICAL LEVELS.

SUFFOCATION IMMINENT.

- ENEMY DEBRIS
TOOK OUT MY ENGINE.

- YOU'RE DEAD IN THE AIR?

- LEAVE ME BEHIND.
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

- DON'T BE STUPID.
I'M ON MY WAY.

- Shima: SUSUMU,
THERE'S NO TIME.

- KODAI. RETURN TO YOUR POST.

- AND LEAVE HER BEHIND TO DIE,

LIKE MY BROTHER?

I'LL BE BACK IN TIME.
WE BOTH WILL.

- NANBU, YOU'RE ON THE GUN.
- YES, SIR.

- DAMNED FOOL.

SHIMA, AIHARA.

CONTINUE PREPARING FOR WARP.

- BUT, SIR...
- AIHARA,

CALL OUT ENEMY COORDINATES
AS THEY MOVE.

- YES, SIR.

- Kato: WHAT'S HE DOING?

- WE'LL HAVE WARP
FUNCTIONALITY IN TWO MINUTES.

- EMERGENCE POINT
HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.

- COORDINATES, CLEAR OF
OBSTRUCTIONS. CAPTAIN.

- IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT ISN'T GOING TO HURT.

SO DON'T BE AFRAID.

I'M JUST GOING TO SLEEP,
THAT'S ALL.

- Susumu: HEY YUKI, IS YOUR
EJECTION BOOSTER ONLINE?

COME ON, YUKI. TALK TO ME.

- GO BACK TO THE SHIP!

THE TEAM NEEDS TO
GET BACK TO SAFETY.

- ANSWER THE QUESTION.
CAN YOU EJECT OUT OF THERE?

- I THINK SO.

- ATTAGIRL. ON MY MARK,
YOU PUNCH OUT OKAY.

- FIVE GAMILAS BOGEYS CLOSING
IN ON OUR NINE O' CLOCK.

- ENGAGE.
- SIR!

- DAMAGED HULL ON
THE PORT SIDE AFT.

- SUB-NOZZLE'S NON-OPERATIONAL.

- THEY RAMMED US?

- WITHOUT THE MOTHER SHIP,
THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD.

- Aihara: GAMILAS INBOUND.
- HOW MANY?

- AT LEAST TWO DOZEN.
IT'S A WHOLE SQUADRON.

- CUTTING IT CLOSE.

GET READY.
I'M COMING UP BEHIND YOU.

- ONE SHOT.

- NOW!

- RECHARGING OF WARP
CAPABILITY IS DONE.

- GAMILAS FIGHTER SQUADRON
STILL SET ON COLLISION COURSE.

KODAI IS INBOUND, PORT SIDE.

- SHIMA.

DON'T THINK OF
THOSE FIGHTERS AS
SHIPS WITH PILOTS.

THEY'RE NOTHING MORE THAN
A BARRAGE OF MISSILES NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

- ROGER!

- CREW, THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.

BRACE FOR LATERAL Gs.

WE WILL ROLL TO AVOID
THE GAMILAS BLITZ,

ALLOWING KODAI TO BOARD,
AND THEN WARP TO SAFETY.

- YOU HEARD HIM!

- WHOA! WHAT?
HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?

- Woman on PA:
EVASIVE ACTION IMMINENT.

ALL PERSONNEL, PREPARE
FOR G-FORCE ENCUMBRANCE.

EVASIVE ACTION IMMINENT.

- MASSIVE COLLISION EVENT
IN FIVE SECONDS.

FOUR, THREE, TWO...

- HANG ON.

- ( all screaming )

- OPEN UP THE HANGAR DOOR.

- KODAI'S IN.
- WARP!

- HER HEART'S NOT BEATING.

- WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
- SET HER DOWN!

- SHE'LL BE HERE ANY SECOND!

- WHAT DO WE DO?

- YUKI! YUKI!

- I'LL DEFIBRILLATE HER.
JUST BUY ME SOME TIME.

- YUKI, OPEN YOUR EYES.

SON OF A...

- ( gasping )

( coughing )

- SHE'S AWAKE.
- SICK BAY.

- ROGER.
- ON THE DOUBLE.

- UP ON THREE.
ONE, TWO, THREE!

- LET'S GO. RIGHT.

- GOOD JOB.

- YOU GAMBLED WITH
THE LIVES OF EVERY PERSON
ABOARD THE YAMATO,

FOR ONE PILOT.

- I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE, SIR.

TO ME, LEAVING PEOPLE
BEHIND TO DIE IS COWARDICE.

- THROW THE GUNNER
INTO THE BRIG.

- I'M TRYING TO SURRENDER IT.

- COME ON.

- KODAI. NEVER MET
A BRIG HE DIDN'T LIKE.

( laughs )

- CHIEF TOKUGAWA.

- GLAD AS HELL TO SEE YOU.

SURPRISED IT TOOK YOU
THIS LONG TO PISS HIM OFF.

( laughs )

LOSING YOUR TOUCH?

- TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

AND A BUNCH OF JARHEADS
MARCH YOU DOWN INTO A CELL.

- HMM. TWO OF A KIND.

- HUH?

- TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
YOU REMIND ME A LOT OF HIM.

YOUR OLDER BROTHER,
WHEN HE WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE.

- HOW AM I LIKE HIM?

- FULL OF PISS AND VINEGAR,
BUT COOL IN A FIGHT.

BETTER WATCH IT.

IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL,

THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A
SHIP'S CAPTAIN OUT OF YOU.

- ( sighs )
I'M NOT TRYING TO
ACT LIKE ANYBODY ELSE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO
FOLLOW MY CONSCIENCE,

AND OKITA'S HAVING NONE OF IT.

- ( chuckles )
THAT OLD HARD-ASS, HUH?

THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN EVEN OKITA
ACTED A LOT LIKE YOU.

IF WE LIVE LONG ENOUGH,
FOR YOU TO GET OLD,
WE'LL SEE WHO YOU BECOME.

- OH, LOOK WHO IT IS.

- WELCOME TO THE BRIG.
- DOCTOR. HOW IS SHE?

- THANKS TO YOU, YUKI'S OKAY.
- GLAD TO HEAR IT.

- HEY, WANT SOME?

- YES, HE DOES.

- YOU SHOULD BE
GRATEFUL TO THE CAPTAIN.

HE TOOK A BIG CHANCE
WAITING LIKE HE DID.

ANOTHER SECOND OR TWO,

AND NONE OF US WOULD
BE SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW.

- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

- Sado: LOOK, KODAI.

IN THAT BATTLE OFF OF MARS,

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY GUY
WITH A LOVED ONE
WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME.

- WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

- WELL, YOU KNOW,
WE ALSO LOST THE
FUYUZUKI THAT DAY.

THE NAVIGATOR ON THAT SHIP,

WAS CAPTAIN OKITA'S SON,
REST HIS SOUL.

- THIS IS CAPTAIN OKITA.

WE'RE ABOUT TO LEAVE
OUR SOLAR SYSTEM BEHIND.

DUTY COMPELS US
INTO A REALM UPON WHICH NO
HUMAN BEING HAS EVER LAID EYES.

VERY SOON, EARTH WILL BE
TOO FAR FOR US TO CONTACT.

THIS IS WHY TODAY ALL HANDS
WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE
COMMUNICATIONS MODULE.

THIS COULD BE YOUR
FINAL MESSAGE TO YOUR
LOVED ONES ON EARTH.

I HOPE THAT YOU WILL
TELL THEM EVERYTHING
THAT IS IN YOUR HEART.

- ( all murmuring )

- SO, I'M LIKE CAPTAIN OKITA?

WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL.

- Aihara: EACH OF YOU
WILL HAVE ONE MINUTE.

AT THE END OF 60 SECONDS,
THE CONNECTION WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BE CUT.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT
TO SAY SO YOU CAN MAKE
THE MOST OF YOUR TIME.

- ( sniffling )

- Automated voice:
WELCOME, CREWMAN.
ENTER ID NUMBER.

- WHAT AM I GONNA SAY?

- HEY, LOOK WHO IT IS.

- JIRO, IT'S DADDY.

I'M DOING FINE.

- AND, SON, BE CAREFUL
NOT TO CATCH COLD.

- CHILL OUT, MOM.
I'LL BE OKAY.

I'M TOO STUPID TO
CATCH COLD, YOU KNOW?

- WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING,
WRAP A TOWEL
AROUND YOUR STOMACH,

OR YOU'LL GET THE
RUNS JUST LIKE ALWAYS.

- I'LL BE HOME AGAIN
REAL SOON, OKAY?

AND WHEN I COME BACK,
EARTH'LL BE PRETTIER
THAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

CROSS MY HEART.

- JIRO, I...
- Automated voice:
YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.

- DON'T FORGET YOUR GOOD-LUCK
CHARM WHEN YOU'RE ON DUTY, OKAY?

IT'S ALWAYS HELPED YOU
COME HOME SAFE AND SOUND.

- YEAH.

ALL THE TIME.

- AND TRY TO REMEMBER TO...

- Automated voice:
YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.

- DAMN IT, MOM,
YOU WORRY TOO MUCH.

- 287, 288, 289,
290, 291, 292...

- WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- MOST PEOPLE DON'T DO SIT-UPS
WHILE THEY'RE IN THE BRIG.

- AND?

- FINISH UP. IT'S YOUR
TURN TO TALK TO EARTH.

- FOR REAL?

- INPUT YOUR ID NUMBER
WHEN IT GIVES YOU THE PROMPT.

- YOU ONLY GET A MINUTE.
- WHICH ONE?

- IT'S THERE ON YOUR DOG-TAGS.

- PUNCH IT IN?
- THAT YOU DO.

- WAIT UP, KODAI.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

- HEY, DON'T YOU...
- DON'T BLOW A FUSE, ANDO.

- SO, YOU TRANSFERRED HERE?
- YEAH.

ASSIGNED TO THE
THIRD BRIDGE, SIR.

- GOOD JOB.

- WELL, CATCH YOU LATER.

HEYA, GUYS.
THANKS FOR WAITING.

THAT WAS THE SUSUMU KODAI
I TOLD YOU ABOUT.

- DUDE, CHILL.

- YOU CAN WAIT RIGHT HERE.

- OKAY.

( sighs )

UP AND ABOUT.
THAT'S GOOD.

- ARE YOU WAITING FOR ME
TO SAY THANK YOU?

- HUH?

- LOOK, I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOU
TO SAVE ME OUT THERE, OKAY?

YOU PUT THE WHOLE
SHIP IN DANGER.

- HOW ABOUT YOU BUST
MY BALLS A LITTLE LESS.

JUST, LIKE, TEN PERCENT.

YOU DO SORT OF OWE ME.

WHAT'S THAT THERE? GOTCHA.

OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK.

- Automated voice:
WELCOME, CREWMAN.
ENTER ID NUMBER.

- BACK IN THE SADDLE, HUH?

ARE YOU OKAY?

- YEAH. GLAD TO BE BREATHING.

- YOU SEEN KODAI YET?

- I SAW HIM OVER
AT THE MESSAGE ROOM.

GETTING HIS MINUTE
WITH HIS FAMILY, I ASSUME.

- HIS FAMILY?
ARE YOU SURE?

- HUH?

- WELL, YOU WERE ON
THE TEAM, RIGHT?

- UH-HUH.

- ALTHOUGH HE QUIT
PRETTY SOON AFTER I WAS
ASSIGNED TO THE TEAM.

I WAS REASSIGNED
RIGHT AFTER THAT,

SO I NEVER REALLY
CAUGHT THE VIBE.

- OH.

- HONESTLY,

I ONLY ENLISTED BECAUSE
KODAI'S HEROICS HAD
SUCH AN EFFECT ON ME,

AND THEN HE WAS DONE.

IT'S TOUGH WHEN YOUR
HEROES ARE PEOPLE.

KODAI DOESN'T NEED
TO KNOW ALL OF THAT.

- HE HAD A GOOD
REASON FOR QUITTING.
- YEAH?

- A MINUTE TO TALK TO MY FAMILY?

- Shima: WHEN THE GAMILAS
FIRST STARTED BOMBARDING US,

WE USED TO GO UP
AND RUN INTERCEPT
MISSIONS ON THE BOMBS.

IT'S TOUGH TO BELIEVE NOW, BUT
THEY USED TO BE ALMOST FRAGILE.

WE BLEW UP A FEW,
KNOCKED SOME OFF-TARGET.

- ( laughs ) YOU MAKE IT
SOUND LIKE NO BIG DEAL.
QUIT BEING MODEST.

- KODAI WAS OUR ROCK STAR.

I WAS LIKE THE BACKUP SINGER.

WELL, ONE AFTERNOON,
THIS BOMB COMES HURLING IN,

AND WE MANAGE
TO KNOCK IT AWAY.

WE SAVED THE EARTH
ONCE AGAIN!

ONLY THIS TIME, OUR ACTIONS
CAME WITH LETHAL CONSEQUENCES.

- ( sighs )

I GUESS YOU'RE ALL
THE FAMILY I'VE GOT.

HOW YOU BEEN, ANALYZER?

- MR. KODAI, PLEASE
DON'T CRY ONTO ME.

SALT WATER WILL
CORRODE MY CIRCUITRY.

- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
I'M GONNA CRY?

- THE GAMILAS BOMB WE
DIVERTED HEADED STRAIGHT FOR
SPACE STATION NUMBER TWO.

- THAT WAS HIM?

- HIS PARENTS WERE ABOARD,
AND SO WAS MY PREGNANT WIFE.

SHE SURVIVED IT,
BUT THEY WEREN'T SO LUCKY.

THEY MANAGED TO
SAVE THE BABY, TOO,

BUT JIRO'S NEVER
BEEN ABLE TO TALK.

AFTER THAT, HE JUST
COULDN'T BEAR TO FLY.

- Automated voice:
YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.

- Narrator: HAVING
SAID THEIR GOODBYES,

THE CREW OF THE SPACE
BATTLESHIP YAMATO HEADS FOR
THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD,

AND THE PLANET ISKANDAR,

TO OBTAIN THE ANTI-RADIATION
DEVICE SAID TO EXIST THERE.

- Aihara: ALL CLEAR, CAPTAIN.
NO GRAVITY FIELD DETECTED.

WARP SUCCESSFUL.

PICKING UP ANOTHER CRAFT.

- IT'S A GAMILAS FIGHTER!
- IS IT ALONE?

- AFFIRMATIVE!
- NANBU!

- ON IT!
- THIS IS STRANGE.

- WHY ISN'T IT ATTACKING US?
- Susumu: WHAT?

- PUTTING IT ON DISPLAY.

- DID IT WARP WITH THE YAMATO?

- KODAI.
- SIR?

- I WANT YOU TO BRING
THAT ENEMY FIGHTER ABOARD.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE
CAN LEARN FROM IT.

- ROGER.

- ( groans in pain )

- CAPTAIN.
- CALL SICK BAY.

- CAPTAIN.
- NANBU, YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

- ROGER.
- KEEP TO YOUR POST, ENSIGN.

- YES SIR.
- CAPTAIN.

- SO, WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

- SADLY, IT IS PROGRESSING.

- THOUGHT SO.

WELL, THEN,
HOW LONG DO I HAVE LEFT?

- LISTEN TO ME.

SOON ENOUGH, THOSE PILLS
AREN'T GOING TO HELP.

- WILL I LIVE TO SEE IT?

- NO SIGN OF A COCKPIT.

MAYBE IT FLIES ITSELF.

- I'VE NEVER REALLY
SEEN ONE, YOU KNOW?

- YOU'VE SEEN A LOT.

( scoffs ) DON'T EVEN.

- HOW CLOSE CAN I
LOOK IN A DOGFIGHT?

- I DON'T SEE
ANY SIGNS OF LIFE.

- THINK MAYBE IT'S A DRONE?

- SAITO.
- YEAH?

- TAKE A PIECE OF THE
FUSELAGE, BUT BE CAREFUL
NOT TO DAMAGE ANYTHING.

- ( laughs ) YEAH, YEAH.

ONCE I'VE WORKED MY MAGIC,
YOUR LITTLE SAMPLE MIGHT BE
ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THIS THING.

- LIGHT IT UP!

- ( guns firing )

- ( shrieking )

- SANADA, WAIT.

- ( screams )

- SAITO. MY GOD. SAITO.

- FIGHT IT!

- ( yells in pain )

- GET THE DOCTOR DOWN HERE!
- RIGHT!

- HEY!

- ( grunting )

- CREW OF THE YAMATO,

THE PLANET EARTH IS
RIPE FOR CONQUERING.

- WHO AM I TALKING TO?

- DESLA.

- DESLA?

- YOU REFER TO US
AS GAMILAS, YES?

- WAS THAT CRYSTALLINE
STRUCTURE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS?

- YOU ARE CORRECT.
AND NOT.

WE ARE COMPRISED
OF INDIVIDUALS,
YET WE ARE ONE BEING.

WE ARE THE BEGINNING,
AND THE END.

THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.

- AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

- WHY ARE YOU
ATTACKING OUR PLANET?

- ATTACKING IT?

( laughs )

WE'RE TERRAFORMING IT, HUMAN.

- SAITO?

- YOU'RE GOING DOWN!

- DON'T SHOOT IT!

- ( all laughing )

- YEAH, IT'S A RIOT.

- SORRY, I BLASTED YOU, MAN.

YOU KNOW WHAT, THOUGH,
THAT'S HOW MUCH KICK
I HAD TO GIVE IT

TO CONVINCE THAT THING
YOU WERE DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

- OH, YOU'RE SUCH A GIVER.

A PULSE GUN ON LEVEL TWO?
YOU COULD KNOCK OUT
A BEAR WITH THAT CRAP.

- TOO LATE!
- YEAH?

- WATCH YOUR ASS.
NEXT TIME, I'LL SET
THIS BAD-BOY TO THREE.

- HE GOT YOU, MAN.
GET OUT.

- THAT CRAP HURTS.

- IF ANYONE ELSE
TOOK A HIT LIKE THAT,

THEY'D STILL BE UP IN SICK BAY.

- SUCK IT UP, YA BIG SOFTY.

- FOR KNOCKING ME OUT,
YOU HAVE MY THANKS.

- YOU OWE ME ONE, SOLDIER.

- I GOT YOU.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- I AM GONNA BUY
YOU A BEER, KODAI.

- NOW WE'RE EVEN.
- CHEAPSKATE!

- ( rumbling )

- CAPTAIN, IT'S KODAI.

- COME IN.

- ( machine beeping )

- COMING IN.

- YOU WANTED ME?
- HMM.

- KODAI.
- SIR?

- HOW DO YOU LIKE THE SHIP?

- I'VE NEVER SERVED ON
A BATTLESHIP BEFORE,
SO I CAN'T REALLY COMPARE.

BUT I KNOW SHE'S QUALITY.

YOU WANTED TO
DISCUSS SOMETHING?

- KODAI.
- SIR?

- WOULD YOU ASSUME THE
ROLE OF ACTING CAPTAIN?

- WHAT?

- I HAD ALWAYS HOPED
YOUR BROTHER MAMORU
WOULD SUCCEED ME.

- I'M NOT HIM.

- YOU HAVE LEADERSHIP
IN YOUR BONES,

THE SAME WAY HE DID.

YOU BELONG AT THE HELM, KODAI.

- WILL YOU?
- SORRY, BUT NO.

I CAN'T DO IT.

I COULDN'T...

COULDN'T LIVE WITH THE
DECISIONS THAT YOU'VE MADE.

- WELL, THEN.
IF YOUR MIND IS MADE UP.

- EXCUSE ME.

- KODAI,

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO BE
THE CAPTAIN I HAVE BEEN.

DO IT YOUR OWN WAY.

STILL A NO?
ALL RIGHT.

I WON'T BURDEN YOU WITH
THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE.

LISTEN UP,
AS OF RIGHT NOW,

MR. KODAI IS SERVING IN
THE ROLE OF ACTING CAPTAIN.

THAT'S ALL.

GOOD LUCK.

- SCRAMBLE THE FIGHTERS!

WE NEED TO GET
OUT THERE ASAP.

- Woman on PA:
GAMILAS ATTACK IN PROGRESS.

- I REPEAT,
GAMILAS ATTACK IN PROGRESS.
- YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN NOW.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- THE HANGAR!

WHEN DID IT START?

- WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE, SIR.
WE ONLY JUST NOTICED IT.

- AS FAR AS I CAN TELL,
IT'S SENDING SOME
SORT OF TRANSMISSION.

- AN SOS?
- WORSE.

- IT'S OUR LOCATION.
THEY PAINTED
A BULLSEYE ON US.

- MR. SANADA, YOU HAVE THE HELM.

- I HOPE YOU'RE READY
FOR ACTION, BLACK TIGERS!
- All: YES SIR!

- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
DESTROY IT.

- All: ROGER.

- THE GAMILAS WOULDN'T
SEND JUST ONE.

HOW MANY MORE OUT THERE?

- THIRD WAVE APPROACHING.
THEY'VE OPENED FIRE.

- HELL. SHIMA, EVADE!

- I'LL TRY.

- ( screaming )

- DAMN IT.

DAMAGE REPORT.

- BRIDGE NUMBER THREE
HAS TAKEN MASSIVE DAMAGE.

THE CREW IS TRAPPED INSIDE.

- HOW MUCH AIR?

- ENOUGH FOR NOW BUT
THEY DON'T HAVE TOO LONG.

- SEND A RESCUE SQUAD
ON THE DOUBLE.

PATCH ME IN TO
BRIDGE NUMBER THREE.

- GO AHEAD!

- ( static )

- THIS IS ANDO.
CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?

THE ELEVATOR SHAFT'S BEEN HIT.
WE'RE TRAPPED DOWN HERE,
AND WE'VE GOT WOUNDED.

IF WE DON'T GET A MEDIC SOON,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT.

- ACTING CAPTAIN KODAI HERE.

A RESCUE SQUAD
IS ON THE WAY.

JUST TRY TO STAY CALM
AND STABILIZE YOUR WOUNDED.

ANDO, YOU'RE DOING
FINE DOWN THERE.

WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.

- THANK YOU, SIR.

- WHERE'RE THEY NOW?

- GAMILAS BOGEYS,
THREE O' CLOCK.

- SHIMA. TURN HARD
TO STARBOARD.

- ROGER THAT.

- CHIEF TOKUGAWA.
START CHARGING THE GUN.

- WITH PLEASURE. CHARGING.

- TARGETING SCOPE, OPEN.

OUR PREY IS THE ENEMY GUNSHIP.

TRAJECTORIES ARE IN SYNC.

GOT THEM IN MY CROSS HAIRS.

- SIXTY KILOMETERS OUT.

- ENERGY BUILD-UP AT
ONE HUNDRED TWENTY PERCENT.

- TEN SECONDS TO
WAVE-MOTION GUN.

BRIDGE CREW, BRACE FOR
THE FLASH AND RECOIL.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE,

TWO, ONE, ZERO. FIRE!

- GAMILAS GUNBOAT
HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
THE ENEMY FLEET IS GONE.

- ALL RIGHT!

- YES! ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.

- I'M GETTING A SIGNAL
FROM UNDER US.

- UNDER US?

- ( crashing )

- ENERGY OUTPUT RISING.
IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE.

- EVACUATE BRIDGE NUMBER THREE.
- THERE'S NO TIME.

- THE BLAST'LL KILL US ALL.
- EXPLOSION IMMINENT.

- KODAI!

- YUKI, THIS IS KODAI.

FIRE ON BRIDGE
NUMBER THREE.

TAKE IT OUT.

DO IT!

- YES, SIR.

- IT WAS A STEALTH CRAFT.
THE RADAR DIDN'T PICK IT UP.

I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING.

SIX OF OUR CREW WERE
SERVING ON THAT BRIDGE.

THEIR DEATHS ARE ON ME.

I AM NOT FIT TO SERVE
AS YOUR ACTING CAPTAIN.

- WHY DID YOU RE-ENLIST?

YOU WERE FREE OF THIS LIFE.
WHY DID YOU COME BACK?

- I HAD TO FIND OUT WHAT
KIND OF A MAN YOU ARE.

TO KNOW,

WHAT KIND OF A CAPTAIN
MY BROTHER MAMORU LAID
DOWN HIS LIFE TO PROTECT.

- I SEE.

- BUT ALSO,

TO SEE THE EARTH
MADE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.

TO HAVE IT BACK LIKE IT WAS
WHEN I WAS A KID.

I WANTED TO SEE IT LIVE AGAIN.

WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE?

WHEN THERE IS NO GOOD CHOICE,

HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT DECISION?

- KODAI.

THE PAST IS NO PLACE
FOR A MAN TO LIVE,
ESPECIALLY NOT A LEADER.

YOU'LL FIND NO COMFORT THERE.

YOU PLAY WITH THE CARDS
YOU'RE HANDED.

YOU DO YOUR BEST FOR
AS MANY AS YOU CAN.

- YOU SAY THAT, BUT IT DOESN'T
MAKE IT ANY EASIER TO STOMACH.

MAYBE YOU CAN
JUST WRITE THEM OFF,

BUT I'M NOT LIKE YOU,
CAPTAIN OKITA.

- I FEEL THEIR DEATHS, KODAI.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I FELT
THEM JUST AS KEENLY AS YOU.

LEADING A CREW MEANS
SHOULDERING A BURDEN
NO ONE ELSE CAN CARRY BUT YOU.

I BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING
A FINE JOB AS ACTING CAPTAIN.

KODAI,

THERE IS...

THERE IS SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT
YOU NEED TO KNOW.

- ( knocking on door )

- WHO IS IT?

- IT'S KODAI.

- WHY ARE YOU HERE?

- TO APOLOGIZE.

- I DON'T FOLLOW.
- FOR GIVING THAT ORDER.

I'M SORRY.

- YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY SORRY.

IF YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU DID,
YOU'RE WRONG.

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,

YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN OF
THIS SHIP RIGHT NOW.

YOU DID WHAT YOU HAD TO DO,
AND SO DID I.

EVEN THOUGH IT MEANT...

( crying )

IT MEANT THAT I HAD TO...

...SHOOT PEOPLE I KNOW.

( sobbing )

- IT'S OKAY.

- THIS WASN'T VERY
PROFESSIONAL OF ME.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

- DON'T BE.

DON'T EVER BE SORRY.

- Woman on PA: ALL HANDS,
STAND BY FOR WARP.

ALL HANDS, STAND BY FOR WARP.

- ( all exclaiming )

- SORRY ABOUT THAT.
EVERY TIME WE WARP...

- I SEE ISKANDAR.

- ISKANDAR?
- ISKANDAR?

- COME ON, YOU GUYS,
WE'RE THERE.

- HUH? WHOA!

- WE'RE THERE.

ISKANDAR.

- ( beeping )

- Aihara: MISSILES AT
TWELVE O'CLOCK.

ABOUT SIXTY OF THEM.
THEY'RE CLOSING IN FAST.

- THEY INVITED US HERE.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

- THE WAVE-MOTION GUN
IS OFFLINE.

- I KNOW.

BATTLE STATIONS.

- ( alarm sounding )

- THE MISSILES, SIR,
THEY'RE BREAKING INTO GROUPS.

THEY'RE HEADED ABOVE
AND BELOW US,
PORT AND STARBOARD!

- ALL GUNS, LOCK ONTO
ENEMY TARGETS.

- TEN SECONDS!

- WEAPONS HOT. FIRE!

- ( siren sounding )

- LARGE MISSILE, INCOMING.
TEN SECONDS TO IMPACT.

- ONE AND TWO,
YOU HIT THAT MISSILE
WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.

- ( grunting )

- IT DIDN'T EXPLODE.
- WHAT THE...

- SIT-REP, GIVE ME
A DAMAGE REPORT.

- Nanbu: CAPTAIN,
THE WAVE-MOTION GUN...

- I KNOW, IT'S NOT READY.

- IT'S THE MUZZLE.
THEY JAMMED IT.

- THEY WHAT?

- ENEMY FLEET DEAD AHEAD.

- FIRE ON THEM
WITH EVERY CANNON

AND GET THAT
WAVE-MOTION GUN OPERATIONAL!

- THEY'LL GRIND US INTO DUST.

- MORE MISSILES INCOMING.
IMPACT IN THIRTY SECONDS, SIR.

- Nanbu: WE CAN'T
TARGET THEM ALL.
THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY.

- THEN WE RUN.
WARP US OUT OF HERE.

- Aihara: BUT I DON'T HAVE
ANY COORDINATES SET.

- IF WE DON'T, THEN WE'LL DIE!
- KODAI, WE CAN'T!

- INCOMING!

- SHIMA!

- ( groaning )

- Sanada: KODAI!

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

IF THERE'D BEEN ANYTHING
AT THESE COORDINATES

WE'D BE OBLITERATED!

- WE'D BE JUST AS DEAD
IF THOSE MISSILES HIT US!

LOCATION?

- I THINK WE'RE STILL
NEAR ISKANDAR.

- ARE WE?

- IS THAT THE SAME PLANET
WE WERE APPROACHING BEFORE?

- Aihara: YES, SIR.
THAT'S THE SAME ONE.

WE ONLY WARPED TO
THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

- IT LOOKS LIKE EARTH.

GAMILAS WEAPONRY.

- ARE YOU SURE?

- THIS WAS A GAMILAS MISSILE.

- HAS THERE BEEN A MISTAKE?

DID WE COME
TO THE WRONG PLANET?

- ( sighs )

- SEE, NOW.
WE KNOW THEY PLAYED US.

- PLAYED US?

- YEAH, AND WE FELL FOR IT.

ISKANDAR. THE MAGICAL
RADIATION DEVICE JUST IN TIME.

( scoffs )
IT WAS A GAMILAS TRAP!

- BUT WHY?
WHY WOULD THEY GO
TO THE TROUBLE?

- TO LURE THE YAMATO AWAY.

- IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE,

THEN IT PROBABLY IS.

I ANALYZED THAT
COMMUNICATIONS CAPSULE,

AND IT WASN'T MENTIONED,
NOT ONCE.

JUST SCHEMATICS FOR
THE GUN AND ENGINE,
AND COORDINATES HERE.

- WHAT'RE YOU TELLING US?

- THE RADIATION DEVICE
THAT LURED US OUT HERE

MIGHT BE NOTHING MORE
THAN A BAD FAIRY TALE.

- THAT'S CRAZY.

WHY WOULD ANYONE
DO SUCH A THING?

- WE LEFT EARTH UNGUARDED
AND WE WEREN'T EVEN SURE?

GUESS THAT MEANS THE CAPTAIN
WAS LYING TO US.

- BITE YOUR TONGUE.

HE'S A GOOD MAN.
HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT?

- I'LL GO ASK HIM.

- YOU CAN'T.
HE'S BARELY HANGING ON.

- YOU MEAN?

- HELL, I'M GAME.
- SAITO!

- HE'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH, ISN'T HE?

WE NEED TO ASK HIM
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON.

WHAT'RE WE ALL RISKING
OUR ASSES FOR?

ANYTHING? TELL ME, KODAI!

- WE'RE GOING DOWN THERE.

THE MESSAGE INCLUDED COORDINATES
ON THE PLANET ITSELF.

WE'LL GET THE ANSWERS WE NEED
ON ISKANDAR.

- KODAI, ARE YOU INSANE?

- YOU'RE GONNA BE MARCHING US
RIGHT INTO THE LION'S DEN,
YOU KNOW THAT?

- WHY WOULD THEY ATTACK US
IN SPACE IF THE REAL TRAP
IS ON THE PLANET?

THERE'S A REASON THEY DON'T
WANT US GOING TO THOSE
COORDINATES ON THE SURFACE,

AND I'M GOING TO FIND OUT
WHAT IT IS.

SOMEONE SENT THOSE ENGINE PLANS.

AND THAT ENGINE'S BETTER
TECHNOLOGY THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN.

LOOK, IF WE DON'T SEND A TEAM
DOWN THERE TO INVESTIGATE,

NONE OF US WILL EVER
KNOW THE TRUTH.

OKITA FOLLOWED THAT MESSAGE
THROUGH THE STARS.

HE BELIEVED IT,

AND I BELIEVE IN HIM.

CAPTAIN OKITA LOVES THE EARTH
AS MUCH AS ANYBODY ON THIS SHIP.

SANADA.

YUKI.

SAITO.

SHIMA.

IF WE CAN PULL THIS OFF,
THE EARTH LIVES.

OUR BENEFACTORS SENT US
SPECIFIC COORDINATES.

THEY WILL LEAD US TO A POINT
BENEATH THE SURFACE
OF THE PLANET RIGHT HERE.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE,
WE GO THERE.

THE STRIKE TEAM WILL BE
THE BLACK TIGERS, THE MARINES,

TECH OFFICER SANADA, AND ME.

- YOU'RE GOING DOWN?
HOW COME?

- THE GAMILAS HAVE
AN AERIAL DEFENSE SYSTEM.

KODAI'S GOING TO
KNOCK IT OUT FOR US.
ONSCREEN.

THIS IS THE AIR-SPACE
RIGHT ABOVE THE TEAM'S LZ.

THE SKY IS TEEMING WITH
THESE DEFENSE SENTRIES, BUT,

SLIPPING THROUGH THEM
IS OUR ONLY OPTION.

- IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

- MY COSMO ZERO CAN DO IT.

ITS ONBOARD TECH PREDATES
THE GAMILAS ATTACK,
AND IT CAN CLOAK.

- STEALTH CAPABILITY'S NOT
GOING TO HELP YOU.

SOON AS YOU FIRE YOUR ENGINE,
THEY'LL KNOW EXACTLY
WHERE YOU ARE.

- THEN I GUESS I'LL JUST
HAVE TO DO IT IN FREE-FALL.

- ( all murmuring )

- IS HE SERIOUS?

- BLACK TIGERS, YOU'LL ATTACK
ON MY COMMAND.

MAKE SURE THAT OUR MARINES
GET THEIR BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

WE'VE LOST ENOUGH LIVES
IN THIS WAR.

- THEY'LL BE DOZENS OF THEM.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
THAT YOU CAN TAKE THEM ALL?

- ( all chattering )

- ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL.

THIS IS ACTING CAPTAIN KODAI.

AS YOU ALL KNOW,

OUR LANDING ON GAMILAS
IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE.

THIS BATTLE WILL PROBABLY
BE THE LAST ONE

OF A JOURNEY THAT SPANNED
SO MANY LIGHT-YEARS.

IN APRIL OF 1945,

BATTLESHIP YAMATO SET SAIL
TO BE A RAY OF HOPE

WHEN OUR PEOPLE WERE
IN THEIR DARKEST HOUR.

WE'RE DOING THE SAME.

THE COORDINATES WE WERE GIVEN
MAY BE A GAMILAS TRAP.

MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT.

MAYBE WE'RE PLAYING
RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS.

BUT AS LONG AS HOPE STILL
FLICKERS IN THE LONG NIGHT,

AS LONG AS THERE'S
A GHOST OF A CHANCE,

WE WILL CHAMPION OUR CAUSE.

AND IF THE STRUGGLE
CLAIMS OUR LIVES, SO BE IT.

WE ARE THE KEEPERS
OF A PROUD TRADITION.

THE HONOR OF A SHIP WORTHY
OF THE NAME YAMATO.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO SHARE
THIS MOMENT WITH ALL OF YOU.

WE ARE HERE AS AGENTS OF HOPE.

AND NOW, AS THE EARTH
IS IN ITS DARKEST HOUR,

WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT
TO SAVE OUR PLANET.

NO, WE'RE DOING THIS
TO SAVE THE PEOPLE WE LOVE.

WE'LL MAKE THE EARTH
AS GREEN AS IT WAS BEFORE.

IN THE NAME OF THE YAMATO!

AND FOR CAPTAIN OKITA.

WE GO UNTO GLORY, OR TO DEATH!

- Kato: WE'LL TAKE THE
LEFT SIDE OF THE FORMATION.

- OKAY.
- COPY THAT.

- All: ROGER!

- YOU SONS OF BITCHES READY
TO KILL SOME GAMILAS?

- All: Yeah!
- I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

- All: YEAH!
- YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BE!

- All: YEAH!
- YOU GONNA BRING YOUR A-GAME?

- All: YEAH!

- ISKANDAR OR BUST!

- THIS MISSION IS GONNA BE
A ONE-WAY TRIP FOR A LOT OF 'EM.

- AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THE JOB SO FUN.

- All: YEAH!

- SEE YOU ON THE GROUND.

- I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE
COSMO ZERO FOR A WHILE.

- WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
YOU READY TO MAKE UP
FOR LOST TIME?

- ROGER.
- Woman on PA:
ATTENTION ALL PILOTS.

PLEASE REPORT TO
YOUR FIGHTERS IMMEDIATELY.

REPEAT, ALL PILOTS PLEASE REPORT
TO YOUR FIGHTERS IMMEDIATELY.

- PRE-BATTLE DIAGNOSTICS
ARE MANDATORY.
- OKAY.

- RIGHT WING, CHECK.
LEFT WING, CHECK.

OKAY.

WANNA COME WITH?

- YOU'RE GONNA SHOW OFF
OUT THERE, AREN'T YOU?

- OH, SURE.
LIKE YOU'RE ONE TO TALK.

BE SAFE OUT THERE, YEAH?

- Woman on PA: COSMO ZERO ONE.
YOU ARE READY FOR LAUNCH.

- THIS IS KODAI.
LET'S DO IT.

- ( engine starting )

- Analyzer: MR. KODAI,
THAT EXCHANGE
WITH YUKI MORI JUST NOW,

WHAT PURPOSE DID IT SERVE?

- JUST GIVING MYSELF
MORE INCENTIVE TO MAKE IT
BACK IN ONE PIECE.

- EIGHT THOUSAND METERS
TO THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET.

SEVEN THOUSAND,
SIX THOUSAND.

FIVE THOUSAND,
FOUR THOUSAND.

- WAIT FOR IT, KODAI.
WAIT FOR IT.

TAKE OUT THE GUNS.

( grunting )

COME ON, SHIMA.

- MAKE ME PROUD, KODAI.

- ALL RIGHT.
WARPING NOW.

- YOU OKAY?

- WE'RE HANGING IN.

- HEY, KODAI,
I THINK I'M GONNA BREAK
YOUR RECORD TODAY.

- YOU SAY THAT EVERY TIME
WE GO ON A MISSION.

- YEAH, BUT THIS TIME,
IT'S TRUE.

- ( screaming )
- FURUYA!

- HEADS UP.
THE ENEMY'S ABOVE US.

- Man: WE'RE IN A BAD WAY HERE.
THEY'RE SWARMING THE CARRIER.

- ROGER THAT.

YAMAMOTO.

YAMAMOTO!

( exclaims in frustration )

- Kato: ENEMY DESTROYED.
ALL RIGHT.

THERE ARE THREE OF US LEFT
WITH THE TROOP CARRIER.

- COPY THAT.

- Yuki Mori: STAY ALERT.
OUR LANDING ZONE IS DEAD AHEAD.

OH, WOW.

- Sanada: KODAI, WE'RE COMING UP
ON THE COORDINATES.

- ALL RIGHT. TIME TO LAND.

- ( all yelling )

- Saito: LIGHT 'EM UP!

- Susumu: YUKI, QUICK.
- RIGHT.

- ( guns firing )

- Susumu: SAITO!
- Saito: I GOTCHA!

- Susumu: HEADS UP.
THEY'RE ON OUR SIX.

- YOU HEARD THE MAN.

- ( all screaming )

- Saito: NOT TODAY, YOU BASTARD.
DAMN IT, THERE ARE
HUNDREDS OF 'EM.

- ANALYZER,
GO INTO STAND-ALONE MODE.
WE'RE PINNED DOWN.

- WITH PLEASURE, MR. KODAI.

HURRY UP.

- I'M GOING OUT THERE.
COVER ME.

THEY'RE DEAD.
SON OF A... SCREW IT.

- Analyzer: MR. KODAI,
MAKE IT BACK TO EARTH FOR ME.

- ANALYZER!

DAMN IT.

- ( guns firing )

- ( all groaning )

- COME ON!

- BASTARDS!

- GO ON, WE'LL KEEP 'EM BUSY.

( groaning )

- KATO!

- WE AREN'T GONNA
HOLD 'EM TOO LONG.

YOU SHOULD GET GOING.

( grunting )

- Saito: WE HAVE TO GO.

- DO IT.

FOLLOW ME!

- ( beeping )

- THE COORDINATES LEAD US
TO RIGHT HERE.

- THIS IS ISKANDAR.

- YUKI.

DON'T!

( gasps )

YUKI!

- WE HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR YOU, EARTHLINGS.

- WHERE IS YUKI?

- IT'S LIKE WHAT THEY DID
TO SAITO.

- SO THE STUFF ABOUT ISKANDAR
WAS ALL TRUE.

- THAT IS BUT A NAME
ONE OF YOUR KIND APPLIED TO US.

ONE WHO IS KNOWN AS OKITA.

- WHAT IN THE HELL?

- I KNEW IT.

- Okita: KODAI, THERE IS...

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY
IMPORTANT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

THE MESSAGE ABOUT
A RADIATION DEVICE
ON ISKANDAR IS A LIE.

ALL OF IT.

- HOW COULD IT BE A LIE?

- WE WERE SENT COORDINATES
AND BLUEPRINTS.

THAT WAS ALL.

THERE IS NO DEVICE.

- THEN WHY THE STORY?

- IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU.

- OF ME?

- THE RADIATION YOU TOOK
SHOULD'VE BURNED YOU DOWN
TO YOUR BONES.

BUT YOU RECOVERED FROM IT,
AND THAT MADE ME THINK

THAT MAYBE THE SENDER
OF THE CAPSULE

HAD A WAY TO
DISPEL RADIATION.

I BET IT ALL ON ONE HAND.

- HOLD ON.

WE'RE TRAVELING THOUSANDS
OF LIGHT-YEARS

TO GET A DEVICE THAT
DOESN'T EVEN EXIST?

- THAT'S RIGHT.

( coughing )

BUT...

WE CARRY OUR HOPES WITH US.

YOU CAME ABOARD THIS SHIP
WITH HOPE HIDDEN IN YOUR SOUL.

DIDN'T YOU?

YOU AND I HAVE
SURVIVED THIS LONG.

WHO CAN TELL?

MAYBE MY GAMBIT WILL PAY OFF.

AS LONG AS YOU DRAW BREATH,
YOU'RE ON THE WINNING SIDE.

- OUR RACE HAS EVOLVED PAST EGO.

WE REVEL IN THE GLORY
OF A SINGLE MIND,

SHARED AMONG MANY.

THE GAMILAS ARE
ONE ASPECT OF THIS
SHARED MANIFESTATION.

THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THAT
IS WHAT YOU CALL ISKANDAR.

GAMILAS AND ISKANDAR
WERE A SINGLE ESSENCE,
IN BETTER TIMES.

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.

OUR PLANET'S FATED TO DIE,

HAVING REACHED
THE END OF ITS LIFE.

ISKANDAR IS AT PEACE
WITH THIS OUTCOME, AND
WILL EMBRACE EXTINCTION.

HOWEVER,

GAMILAS WISH TO
WIPE OUT YOUR RACE,

AND TAKE YOUR PLANET
AS A SURROGATE

THAT BOTH ASPECTS
MAY YET SURVIVE.

ISKANDAR DOES NOT
APPROVE OF THIS,

SO GAMILAS BROKE AWAY,
AND IMPRISONED US HERE.

WE LOCATED A TINY FRAGMENT
OF OURSELVES THAT
REMAINED IN GAMILAS,

AND SENT IT TO EARTH
AS A TOKEN OF OUR GOODWILL.

- THAT TOKEN WAS THE CAPSULE.

- AND THE RADIATION DEVICE?

PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

- IT DOES NOT EXIST.

BUT WE WOULD COUNSEL YOU
NOT TO DESPAIR
AT THIS REVELATION.

WE CAN REMOVE IT
BETTER THAN ANY DEVICE.

SOMETHING YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE.

- ( gasps )

- GO ON.

YOU'RE ASKING US TO TAKE
A LOT ON FAITH HERE.

WE NEED TO BE SURE
YOU CAN DELIVER.

- THE AIR IN THIS CAVERN
IS NO LONGER RADIOACTIVE.

GO AHEAD AND BREATHE IT
WITHOUT YOUR HELMETS.

- ( gasping )

- GO AHEAD.

- MY ENERGY IS MORE
THAN SUFFICIENT.

WE WILL ACCOMPANY YOU TO EARTH,
AND RENDER IT HEALTHY ANEW.

- YUKI.

- I'M OKAY.

THEY ARE, TOO.

- ( beeping )

- WAIT!

- WHAT IS THAT?

- IF THE GAMILAS HAVE
A CENTRAL CORE,
WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.

BLOW THAT TO HELL,
AND WE'LL BE DONE
WITH THEM FOREVER.

- SONS OF BITCHES.

YEAH. YOU LIKE THAT?
I LOVE THIS PART!

( grunting )

- KODAI.
- YEAH?

- WE'RE GONNA TAKE OUT
THE CORE FOR YOU, SO GO ON.

- YOU'RE NUTS.
YOU'LL NEVER GET CLOSE ENOUGH.

- ONCE THE TWO OF US
CROSS THAT WALKWAY,

GET THE YAMATO OUT OF HERE.

- WHAT, AND JUST
LEAVE YOU BEHIND?
- SAITO!

- ROGER THAT.

- HOLD ON, DAMN IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN IF YOU STAY.

- OH, GET OVER IT.
DON'T WRITE US OFF JUST YET.

( grunting )

( groans )

( laughs ) YEAH, WHATEVER.
LUCKY SHOT.

- THE YAMATO IS WAITING
FOR THE TWO OF YOU, SO GO.

- I CAN'T JUST LEAVE...
- DO IT.

I NEVER HAD A BROTHER,
BUT YOU WOULD HAVE
MADE A GREAT ONE.

- ( sniffling )

- YOU SHOULDN'T WASTE
YOUR TEARS ON US.

NOW BACK TO YOUR SHIP, CAPTAIN.

READY TO GO?

- GET IT GREEN AGAIN.

I SHOULD'VE BOUGHT
YOU ANOTHER ROUND.

HERE GOES!

( yelling )

- THERE'S TOO MANY.

- HURRY. WHILE YOU'VE
STILL GOT A CHOICE.

- YOU HEARD HIM.

LET'S GO!

- SWITCH.

- ( grunting )

- ( gasps )

- AREN'T YOU A TECH GENIUS
OR SOMETHING?

SLAP IT ON AND LET HER RIP!

- I NEED MORE TIME.
GET OUT THERE AND
HOLD THEM OFF.

- ROGER THAT.

( yelling )

( groans )

OH, SON OF A...
GOD, THAT HURTS.

( grunting )

CAN YOU DO YOUR THING

ONE LAST TIME?

WE ARE GETTING OUR PLANET BACK!

- DAMN IT.

- IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN GO IN MY COSMO TIGER.

- IT'S SET TO BLOW.

SAITO!

SAITO!

( grunts )

- COME ON.

- OUR MIRACLE.

YOU FOUND IT?

- YES.

- WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

- YEAH.

- WE BOUGHT THE EARTH
A FIGHTING CHANCE AT SURVIVAL

AT THE COST OF MANY LIVES.

IF YOU THINK WE'RE
IN THE CLEAR,

WE'RE NOT.

- ROGER.

- Shima: WE'RE ABOUT TO
ENTER OUR FINAL WARP.

EARTH WILL BE IN VISUAL
RANGE UPON ARRIVAL.

- GO. YOU'RE NEEDED.

- GET SOME REST.

- NOW, THEN.

TIME TO FACE THE FOE
WHO DEFEATS US ALL.

DOCTOR,

I WOULD LIKE TO
BE ALONE FOR A WHILE.

DR. SADO,

THANK YOU.

- WHERE IS EARTH?

- I SEE IT.

- SHOW US.

- IT'S THE LITTLE RED ONE.

- Susumu: YOU'RE RIGHT.

EARTH IS RIGHT THERE.

- ( all exclaiming excitedly )

- WE'RE BACK!
- Todo: YAMATO?

- DAMN IT, YAMATO.
- WE'RE HOME, YOU GUYS.

- Todo: DO YOU READ?

- YES, SIR, THIS IS YAMATO.

ACTING CAPTAIN KODAI
AND 36 CREW REPORTING.

CURRENTLY FOUR HUNDRED
AND TWENTY THOUSAND
KILOMETERS FROM EARTH.

- TELL ME, DID YOU
LOCATE THE DEVICE?

- WE HAVE FULFILLED OUR MISSION.

AND ON THIS SHIP

IS EVERYTHING WE'LL NEED
TO HEAL THE EARTH.

- YOU MEAN THAT THERE REALLY
WAS SUCH A THING?

THE EARTH'S SURFACE
WILL BE HABITABLE AGAIN?

- YES, SIR.

- I GUESS OKITA KNEW THE TRUTH
SINCE THE BEGINNING.

YOU'VE DONE WELL.

YOU'RE HEROES,
EVERY ONE OF YOU.

HUMANITY IS IN YOUR DEBT.

- COMMANDER,

THE YAMATO WILL REACH HOME
IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

THE BATTLE FOR EARTH

IS AT AN END.

- OH, THE EARTH.

I HAVE

SUCH MEMORIES.

- ( explosion )
- ( all exclaiming )

- SIT-REP.
- ( alarm sounding )

- LARGE GAMILAS VESSEL
AT SEVEN O'CLOCK.

- WE'RE ABOUT TO TAKE MORE FIRE.
- BATTLE STATIONS, NOW!

- All: YES, SIR!
- SHIMA, GIVE ME
A DAMAGE REPORT.

- GET OUT OF HERE.
THE WHOLE DECK'S GOING UP.

- ( screaming )

- PORTSIDE TURRETS, HIT.

- THE HULL CAN'T TAKE
THIS KIND OF ABUSE.

- THEY HIT THE BAY.
THE LAUNCHERS ARE CRIPPLED.

- TURRET TWO HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

- ( screaming )

- Aihara: CATASTROPHIC
ENGINE MALFUNCTION.

- TOKUGAWA, WHAT ARE
WE LOOKING AT? TALK TO ME!

CHIEF? CHIEF, DO YOU READ ME?

- SHE MAY HAVE TAKEN
QUITE A BEATING JUST NOW,

BUT THE OLD GIRL
CAN STILL DANCE.

- CHIEF?

TOKUGAWA, COME IN.

- ( rumbling )

- MY GOD.

IS THAT A SHIP?

- HUH?

- YOUR NAIVETY AMUSES ME.
- ( all gasping )

- YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD WON?

AND WHAT WOULD YOU HUMANS
CONSIDER VICTORY?

ANNIHILATING OUR PLANET?
AS YOU DID.

OR RETURNING YOUR PLANET
TO A STATE THAT CAN SUSTAIN YOU?

- DESLA.

NO, YOU'RE NOT HIM.

- I AM DESLA,
AND I AM NOT DESLA.

YOUR ATTACK ANNIHILATED
THE MAJORITY OF OUR
INDIVIDUAL ASPECTS.

I AM PART OF THE FRAGMENT
THAT SURVIVED YOUR COWARDICE.

OUR MASTER PLAN
FOR COLONIZING EARTH
HAS BEEN SET ASIDE.

MOST OF THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE
MADE THE JOURNEY WERE VAPORIZED

BY YOUR SO CALLED
"SCIENCE OFFICER".

IN THE GRAND LEDGER, I SUPPOSE,
YOU CAN COUNT THAT A VICTORY.

HOWEVER, IT IS A VICTORY
BOUGHT AT A GREAT PRICE.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- YOU WILL NEVER SET FOOT
ON YOUR PLANET AGAIN.

WE ARE AN ANCIENT RACE,
FULL OF PRIDE.

AND OUR WRATH IS AS COLD
AND DEEP AS SPACE ITSELF.

- ( exclaiming )

- LIFE SIGNS NEGATIVE.
IT ISN'T HERE.

- I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING.

- ( rumbling )

WHAT THE HELL?
WHAT'S IT DOING?

- THE GAMILAS SHIP.
THEY'RE GOING TO USE
IT AS A BOMB.

- THEY'RE TRYING TO
DESTROY EARTH.

- OH, SON OF A...

- NANBU, READY THE GUNS.

WE'RE SHOOTING
IT OUT OF THE SKY.

- Nanbu: KODAI, SIR.
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE STILL HAVE THE
WAVE-MOTION GUN, DAMN IT.

- DID YOU FORGET
THEY JAMMED THE MUZZLE?

IF YOU FIRE THAT GUN,
WE ALL DIE.

THE YAMATO WILL BE
COMPLETELY VAPORIZED.

- ( grunting )

- THIS SHOULD BE
THE CAPTAIN'S CALL.

OKITA?

HE'S GONE.

( sighs )

THINK, KODAI.

COME ON, USE YOUR HEAD.

USE YOUR HEAD.

THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY.

THINK OF SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

NANBU.

IS THERE ENOUGH POWER
LEFT TO FIRE THE GUN?

- ENOUGH FOR A SINGLE SHOT.

BUT AGAIN, IF WE SHOOT IT,
THE SHIP WILL EXPLODE.

- KODAI, WAIT.

- HAVE ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP.

THIS IS AN ORDER
FROM CAPTAIN KODAI.

- YOU'RE ABANDONING SHIP
WITH US, RIGHT?

- THIS ISN'T UP
FOR DISCUSSION, PILOT.

ABANDON SHIP!

DR. SADO, EVAC THE WOUNDED.

- KODAI, I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE.

- NO, SHIMA.

- YOU NEED ME TO KEEP
THE SHIP STEADY.

- SHIMA, LISTEN TO ME.

IF YOU'RE HALF
THE HELMSMAN I THINK YOU ARE,

YOU NEED TO USE YOUR SKILLS
TO GET THE CREW BACK TO EARTH.

- DAMN IT.
- LOOK AT ME.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO
CAN GET YUKI TO EARTH,

AND IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN,
ALL OF THIS WAS FOR NOTHING.

- I KNOW, BUT...
- I AM THE CAPTAIN NOW.

DON'T YOU GET IT?

I GO DOWN

WITH THE YAMATO.

- KODAI.

SHE'S ALL YOURS.

- ROGER.

- ( machine whirring )

- ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO!

- YOU SHOULD JOIN THE OTHERS.

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

- I'M NOT LEAVING YOU HERE.

- YUKI.

- IF YOU CAN REALLY GET OUT
OF HERE IN TIME TO BE OKAY,
THEN SO CAN I.

- I AM GIVING YOU AN ORDER.

- I KNOW THAT
YOU'RE LYING TO ME.

WHAT'S THE POINT
OF SAVING THE EARTH

IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BE THERE WITH ME?

( crying )

- YUKI.

BEFORE YOU,

I WAS ALL ALONE.

BUT THEN FATE
BROUGHT US TOGETHER.

I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
THIS BEFORE.

ALL I WANTED

WAS TO BE WITH YOU,

TO KEEP YOU SAFE,

AND GIVE YOU A BETTER WORLD.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE
BEEN FIGHTING FOR.

SO LET ME FINISH THE FIGHT.

IF I DON'T SUCCEED,
EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE
HAS BEEN FOR NOTHING.

EVEN IF I SHOULD DIE,

IF I CAN HEAL THE EARTH
IN THE PROCESS,

THEN I'M ALIVE

IN EVERY CREATURE
THAT CALLS THE PLACE HOME.

OKAY?

I'LL BE WITH YOU
ALL OF THE TIME.

- ( crying ) NO.
- ( shushing )

- I WANT YOU TO LIVE.

DON'T DO THIS.

- YUKI.

I LOVE YOU.

- FORGIVE ME.
- ( gun cocks )

- ( gunshot )

- SHIMA.

- KODAI.

- GET HER TO SAFETY.

- I WILL.

SHE'S A HELL OF A SHIP.

SO, STEER HER TRUE.

KODAI, WE'RE ABANDONING SHIP
WITH 12 SURVIVORS.

- GET AS FAR AWAY FROM HERE
AS YOU CAN, SHIMA.

- ROGER.

- THERE'S NO MORE TIME.

IF I'M GOING TO
DESTROY THAT SHIP,

IT HAS TO HAPPEN NOW.

- KODAI.

- WHERE IS HE?

GET OUT OF THERE.

NOT LIKE THIS.

GET OUT OF THERE!

- TARGETING SCOPE, OPEN.

YAMATO, ENGAGE.

- ( explosion )

- ENERGY BUILD-UP AT
ONE HUNDRED TWENTY PERCENT.

LOCKING ON GAMILAS SHIP.

WAVE-MOTION GUN FIRES
IN TEN SECONDS.

FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
