Space Battleship Yamato

Locked on Gamilas ship.

How long?

All Units,

Clear cannon trajectory.

Roger.

Let them come in close.

Five seconds.

Fire shock cannons!

Huh?!

They're stronger than our data says!

That's brand-new data!

How did they shift?

We're hit aft!

Losing thrust!

Turrets 1 and 2 hit!

Fuyuzuki destroyed!

Incoming!

Quick! Get that fire out!

We have no ship

that can beat them.

Message from yukikaze.

We're getting wiped out, captain.

We'll cover you. Get out of here.

Kodai! Don't be a fool!

I've never wished more

than to be of use to you.

You've still got things to do!

Captain Okita...

...we're proud to have fought

alongside you.

Sanada...go get 'em!

Don't, Kodai!

Kodai...

The infinite reaches of space...

...a realm of silent light.

Stars die, and stars are born.

Yes. The universe is alive.

But at this moment...

...the end is near for one planet.

Space Battleship Yamato

Five years ago...

...an unknown enemy appeared

in the region of mars...

...and began raining meteorite bombs

down upon the earth.

The year is 2199.

The beautiful blue earth

is polluted by radiation...

...and humanity stands

on the verge of extinction.

People have fled underground,

struggling desperately to survive...

...but with no hope left...

...now they simply sit

and wait for the end.

You're one of them damn fools,

aren't you.

Looking for metal scraps

to give to the defense force.

What good'll that do?

We're beat, and you know it.

No.

That guy...

...trades it for stuff

from his brother in the forces.

Drugs, alcohol...

The forces? Is that right?

Yeah.

You trade rare metals, right?

So that's what you're up to, huh?

Hook me up, with that brother of yours, OK?

What's that for?!

Lithium, 50 centimeters down.

Radiation density 14 sieverts.

Twice fatal dosage. You will die.

I know that, analyzer.

Yes.

Flying object! Incoming!

This is the capsule

that was recovered.

What's that?

It's like...

...schematics.

Who found it?

A civilian salvage hunter.

His suit was ripped open

and he took a high dose of radiation.

They're washing him down now

but he probably won't survive.

Okita!

Hold it!

Keep still!

Hold onto him!

He seems fine now, though.

Stop! You'll contaminate

the entire ship!

Are you captain okita?

Why?

You used yukikaze as a shield.

Then you ran away.

Right?

Answer me!

Kodai, stop it!

Kodai?

Mamoru Kodai was my brother.

You're Susumu Kodai?

You used him as a shield...

...sacrificed your whole escort,

and you're still alive?

Doesn't that bother you?

Why should it?

Don't make me laugh.

That's enough!

That hurt, damn it...

Yuki Mori?

What would a civilian know,

Mr. Kodai?

You weren't there!

Come quietly!

Let go off me!

Hands off!

Kodai!

Sometimes one has to make it back.

Huh?

Saito! Go easy on him!

He's an injured man.

I'm sorry, Captain Okita.

I didn't mean that to happen.

I went and told him

how Captain Kodai died.

Dr. Sado...I understand.

I'm sorry.

Anyway...

...how is he still alive

after a fatal dose of radiation?

Yes. He should be dead.

You had a hard time.

We were wiped out.

We have no way

of resisting Gamilas.

And we don't know

what they want or who they are.

They're tough.

As we fight, they study us

and just get stronger.

And we can't keep up with them...

And so...

...the time comes when

we must evacuate earth...

...with a chosen few.

On that subject, sir...

... I ask you for this ship.

What?

Not so a selected elite

can live a few days longer...

...but to go on a journey of hope.

In that way at least

humanity will not be in despair...

...but rather in hope...

...at their moment of death.

What kind of a story

are you going to feed them, Okita?

People of Japan,

I have an important announcement...

...concerning the future of humanity.

I ask you to respond calmly.

Analysis of a communications capsule

discovered off cape Bonomisaki...

...has revealed the following

very significant message.

This, we believe,

is our solar system...

...and our galaxy, the milky way.

Here, in the large magellanic cloud...

... is the origin of the message...

...the planet lskandar.

They have expressed a desire

to provide us with a device...

...that eliminates radiation.

Thus...

Can it go that far?

It might be a trap!

How long will it take?

There are military secrets involved,

so I can only say...

...we have received technology

by which the journey...

...can be made very quickly.

It's a gamble, right?

Are you sure they'll get back?

Will the public agree?

There's no time to ask!

Earth...

...is past the point...

...Where we can hem and haw

over "gambles" or "being sure".

We calculate that within one year

humanity will be extinct.

There are some who say

it is only a matter of months.

This offer from lskandar...

...for us...

... is our last hope.

Fellow citizens...

... if we can obtain this device,

we can survive.

Then we can...

... Ieave the underground

and live again on the surface.

We cannot simply stand by

as Gamilas destroys Earth...

...with its meteorite bombs.

We have been given this last chance!

We will, with our own hands,

restore the green Earth.

Shall we not, then...

...obtain this radiation device

and restore the beautiful earth...

...as it was five years ago?

To this end the defense force

is calling for volunteers...

...with military or astronaut

qualifications...

...with experience in

scientific research...

Kodai, Susumu.

You're alive!

Sorry?

I don't believe it! How?!

Open wide.

Doctor, do you mind?

There are people waiting.

Oh, right.

You have experience leading a...

...fighter squadron?

a civilian? How?

I've re-enlisted.

And I don't need that.

I've got my own.

A cat...

Hold it!

You're coming?

Why not?

It's Okita's ship.

I know.

Mr. Kodai!

What?

What are you up to?

Nothing.

Battle stations!

I'll go to the 1st bridge.

scramble the black tigers.

Says who?!

As of now, I'm squadron leader.

I'm counting on you, "Ace".

There is a Gamilas missile...

... heading straight for you.

They would seem to know

about your vessel.

Prepare to launch!

Shima, initiate wave engine!

Shima?

Roger.

That's it. Good boy!

This is...

That's right. The Yamato

Iaunch Yamato

Iaunching Yamato

We won't make it.

Sanada.

We will now test the wave gun.

Target is the incoming missile.

It's not checked yet.

So?

Well, I think we can fire it.

It's our only chance.

Make it work.

Yes, Sir.

Kodai, You've read the manual?

Sort of.

But it's an alien-supplied weapon.

I've never used one before.

Well, it's do or die.

Raise wave-motion engine pressure.

close emergency valves.

Raising wave-motion engine pressure.

closing emergency valves.

Open wave-gun outlet.

Opening outlet.

Chamber pressure rising!

All energy to wave-motion gun.

initiate forced induction.

Initiating.

Prepare to fire.

Shima, let Kodai do it.

It's all yours.

Release wave-motion gun safety.

Releasing. Safety locks at zero.
