Releasing final safety.

Lock on that.

Raising scope.

Contrast gauge at brightness 20.

interplanetary missile.

Range 180!

Energy at 100 per cent.

Wait.

Energy at 120 per cent!

Chamber limit!

Brace for shock and flash.

Range 70! Collision course!

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

Firing!

All systems down!

Restart!

Back-up camera functioning.

Where's Yamato?

Unable to confirm.

Did it vaporize?

The Yamato.

Yamato made it!

We used the wave-motion gun.

We've given ourselves away.

You had no choice.

I just hope the Yamato is all right.

Can you proceed?

Yes.

I want to leave the solar system

before they can strike back.

All right.

Godspeed, Yamato

Aye-aye, Sir.

Warp test will take place

in 24 hours.

Roger!

Right into the thick of it, huh?

It's your turn next. The warp.

But I'm surprised you volunteered.

She's our last ship.

And it's for Jiro's sake, too.

Oh, Yeah...How old is he now?

He's five.

Yeah?

It's been five years...

Mr. Kodai!

Kato? Yamamoto?

You guys are here?

We got posted to the ship today.

It'll be great

to fly under you again!

Right?

Furuya...

Mr. Kodai.

Still moping in the back, huh?

Not me, Sir.

See? Am I right?

He's right.

Team Kodai requests permission

to join the Yamato squadron!

You still say that?

Damn right!

That looks so stupid!

Huh?!

We brought this aboard

to celebrate our reunion!

You too, Kato.

Team Kodai, be seated!

Keep it down, will you?

You'll spoil my drink.

Mori!

Why get on Mr. Kodai's case?

If we'll spoil your drink,

Why drink alone here?

This is the mess.

We're not causing any trouble.

No?

Team Kodai?

Those old stories don't depress you?

What?!

Mori, you were part of team Kodai.

You were just a babe

in huge diapers back then.

I'll be our ace soon. Watch out.

Mr. Kodai,

why did you come back now?

Where were you then?

Then?

When Captain Kodai got killed.

When we lost our fleet!

While we fought for our lives...

...you were back on earth

salvaging scrap.

You got scared and ran,

didn't you.

I can't accept...

...the great Susumu Kodai...

...fearing for his life...

...and running.

Mori!

Idiot!

Attention all hands.

When Yamato reaches mars orbit...

...We will conduct humanity's first

warp test. If we fail...

...We, and all humanity,

face destruction.

I ask you to focus on your duties.

That is all.

Stand by to warp.

Hey...

...What's "warp"?

I think we jump over

a big piece of space.

Mr. Akagi...

Board me.

Right!

Ready BT1!

I guess the cockpit's

as safe a place as any.

What's she so scared of?

Warp!

Warping!

Did we make it?

Hey...

Hey, guys...

No hull damage.

All clear ahead. No gravity field!

It worked.

Yes!

Mr. Kodai! We warped! Mr. Shima!

This is some ship!

Returning to course.

Huh?

Aihara! 1 o'clock.

Gamilas!

Why did you bring us here?!

I didn't!

Did they track our warp energy?

All hands to battle stations!

Ready wave gun!

Roger.

We can't fire it right after warp.

It uses the same energy.

Wait.

We'll warp again.

How long will that take?

In 20 minutes

can you find where we'll come out?

I'lll find it.

Kodai...

...cripple their warp engines

so they can't follow.

Roger.

Black Tigers...

...take out their warp engines.

Let's go!

Mori, launching.

She beat us to the punch!

We should've been ready.

Are you trying to show off?

Don't get smart. This is how

I survived the fight off mars.

We warp in 20 minutes.

Be back by then.

Roger.

Yes!

Wow...

Don't forget to look out behind.

Commencing targeting

the Gamilas mother ship.

Roger.

Targeting complete.

Fire cannons.

Firing.

Yay!

Yes!

Wow!

I've never seen one go

like that before...

Target destroyed!

Right!

Way to go, Kodai!

Well done. Return to base.

We're about to warp.

Shima, how long?

Five minutes to full charge.

Aihara, have you found somewhere

for us to go?

Just about.

Kato here. No sign of Mori.

we can't raise her.

What?!

BT1, do you read?

BT1!

Do you read?

Yuki Mori!

I read you.

What's wrong?

Oxygen supply very low.

Remedy immediately.

The debris took out my engine.

You can't move?

Just leave me here.

Don't be stupid! Hang on.

There's no time!

Return to your post.

And leave her

like you did my brother?

I'll be back in time.

Nanbu, take over.

Idiot!

Continue with preparations

for warp.

Sir!

Aihara, call out the enemy positions

as they move.

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Kodai?

Two minutes to warp capability.

Emergence point confirmed.

Emergence point clear

of obstructions.

It's all right.

Suffocation doesn't hurt.

It's all right. I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Yuki Mori,

will your ejection gear work?

Do you read me?

Go back!

I'm messing you all up.

Answer me!

Will your ejection gear work?

Yes.

Right.

I'll say when.

Five bogeys closing at 9:20!

Fire!

Port side, aft!

Sub-nozzle's out!

They rammed us?

Their fighters have nowhere

to go back to.

Gamilas!

Where?

Large squadron approaching!

Damn it!

I'm behind you, Yuki.

Roger.

Go!

Recharging complete.

nearing impact.

There's Mr. Kodai.

Shima...

...think of them as missiles.

Let them come in close,

then roll sideways to evade.

Roger!

Brace for lateral gs.

We will evade...

...then take Kodai aboard

while the Gamilas are turning.

Then we will warp.

Hey! What's going on?!

Readying for evasive action.

All personnel prepare for g-force.

Five seconds to impact point!

Four...

Three...

Evading!

Open entry port!

He's in!

Warp!

Her heart's stopped!

Where's Dr. Sado?

Coming.

Yuki...

Yuki!

I'll defibrillate. Keep going.

Yuki! Don't die on me!

Damn it!

Doctor!

Stretcher!

Lift her. 1, 2, 3...

Let's go.

Your actions endangered this ship.

That is a serious offence.

That is how I do things.

I will not stand back and watch

my subordinates die.

Throw him in the brig!

I'll come quietly!

Move!

You still like it in the brig, Huh?

Chief Tokugawa...

It's been a while.

You're in the brig already?

You never change.

Just for doing what I think is right.

Why does this happen?

You're two of a kind.

You're just like your older brother

when he was young.

I'm like who?

Fiery, a loose cannon,

but cool under pressure.

You know, Kodai,

You just might be cut out...

...to be a ship's captain yourself.

Whoever you're saying I'm like now,

My way and a certain someone's...

...are completely opposite.

Oh yeah?

I was about to say you're a lot like

Captain Okita when he was young.

Anyway, I guess we'll find out.

If we survive, that is.

Look who's here!

Hello, Doctor.

Doctor, how's Mori?

Fine. Just a few scratches.

Thank you.

Let's have a drink.

Great!

You should be grateful to the captain.

He took a big chance.

He was in a very tight spot

and he hung in to the last.

He did?

You realize

in that battle off mars...

...You're not the only one

who lost someone.

Is this a sermon?

Did you know that the Fuyuzuki

didn't come back, either?
