Space Battleship Yamato Page #4

Why did you join up again?

To find out

what manner of man you were.

to find...

...what manner of man

let my brother die.

I see.

and...

...to see a green earth again.

Like it was when I was a boy.

I wanted to bring that back.

Tell me...

...as Acting Captain,

what should I have done?

Kodai, the result isn't there

for us to brood over.

What we should do

doesn't lie in the past.

It's here, right now.

You use the people you have.

In theory, perhaps,

but I'm not like you.

You can just let a situation

roll off your back.

That's not true, Kodai.

There was a time

when I was just like you.

If you've never held command

you don't know the pressure.

Right?

You're doing a fine job

as Acting Captain.

Kodai...

...There's...

...something I have to tell you.

Who is it?

Kodai.

Why are you here?

To apologize.

For what?

That order.

I'm sorry.

Why apologize?

There's no need.

You simply did what you had to

as Acting Captain.

And an order is an order,

even if...

...it means...

...shooting at...

...your own people...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lost it.

I didn't mean...

That's fine.

Don't say any more.

Prepare to enter warp.

Iskandar!

It's in sight!

So that's...

... Iskandar...

Missiles at 12 o'clock!

about 60! Range 500!

They're coming from lskandar!

The gun's not charged!

I know!

Stations!

They've split into four groups,

port, starboard, above, below.

All guns lock on targets!

Ten seconds!

All guns...fire!

Large missile! 10 seconds to impact!

It didn't explode!

Damage report!

Sir! The wave gun!

What about it?

The muzzle's been blocked!

What?!

Enemy fleet ahead!

Fix that wave gun!

Ready all other guns!

They'll wear us down.

Missiles, second wave.

Impact in 30 seconds.

There's too many to take out!

Warp us out of here.

Where to?

Anywhere!

It won't work!

Incoming!

Shima!

Kodai!

If there'd been anything here,

We'd have been obliterated!

We would have been anyway!

Where are we?

Still near lskandar.

Look!

Is that the same planet

as before?

Affirmative.

We're behind lskandar now.

It looks just like earth!

It's Gamilas.

What?

This was a Gamilas missile.

Have we come to Gamilas

instead of lskandar?

I'll bet this is a trap.

A trap?

A Gamilas trap.

Iskandar, the radiation device,

all lies.

We've been had!

Why would they do that?

To lure us away.

Maybe the radiation device

Was just a story.

There was nothing about it

in that capsule I analyzed.

Only directions here

and plans for the wave-motion engine.

Meaning?

Someone might have made up

the radiation-device story.

Why? Why would they do that?

Why did we come here?

Was the captain lying?

Never! Captain Okita wouldn't do that.

I'll go ask him.

No! This isn't the time.

It's that bad?

I'll go.

Saito!

He's the only one

who knows the truth, right?

We need to ask him now!

Our fate rides on it!

Doesn't it, "Acting Captain"?

We'll go down there.

The message gave coordinate points.

We might learn something there.

Kodai! Are you crazy?!

We walk into their arms?

If this was a trap,

why would they attack us now?

There must be a reason

they don't want us going down there.

And anyway, there were directions

and an engine plan in that capsule.

We have to go to those coordinates

and find out what this is all about.

The captain believed that message.

And l...

...believe in him.

He would not lie

about his feelings for earth.

Mr. Sanada...

Yuki...

Saito!

Shima...

Whose ship is this, anyway?

The 8th of the coordinates

we were sent indicate...

...a point below the surface

of lskandar/Gamilas, here.

Our mission is to go there.

Landing will be

the black tigers, the paratroopers...

...tech officer Sanada,

and myself.

Why you, Sir?

Mr. Kodai will go first to knock out

their aerial defense system.

Look.

This is the zone above

the landing point.

An armed, floating defense system.

We'll have to slip through it.

Impossible!

Not for the Cosmo Zero.

It predates the Gamilas attack,

and has stealth capacity.

But Gamilas will detect

as soon as you use the engine.

I'll be gliding in.

The black tigers attack on my order.

You'll escort the troop carrier down.

Proceed with caution.

They could be anywhere.

Can one Cosmo zero take out

a whole defense system?

Attention all personnel.

This is Acting Captain Kodai.

Our landing...

...on lskandar/Gamilas

is about to commence.

This will probably be the last battle

in our long journey...

...of 148,000 light-years.

In April of 1945,

the battleship Yamato...

...Set sail to bring a ray of hope

into a time of utter despair.

We do the same.

The coordinates we were sent

may be a trap.

We may only be playing

into the enemy's hands.

But as long as there is

one faint ray of light in the dark...

...as long as we have even a chance,

We must go forward.

That is the destiny

of any ship named Yamato.

And that is the mission

we have been assigned.

I ask you all to remember that.

Let us win this fight!

and transform a faint chance

into real hope!

For those we have left on earth...

No...for the families we love...

...Let us make earth green again!

For this ship...

...and for Captain Okita.

...I ask you all to give

everything you have!

We'll take the left wing.

Mr. Kodai!

Right!

It's our turn at last!

Work!

Do it right!

To lskandar!

You probably won't make it back.

That's all we need to get us going!

See you there.

I haven't been here for a while.

Well, I'm counting on you.

Roger.

What?

Are you going to show off?

Who are you to talk?

Don't mess up, Ok?

Launching CZ1.

Mr. Kodai, what was all that about

with Ms Yuki?

All I needed to get me going.

Not yet not yet not yet...

Go!

Uh-oh...

Shima!

Come back alive.

Right! Time to warp!

You ok?

We're all here!

Mr. Kodai...I'll be top scorer today.

Whatever. You still mope.

No, I don't!

Furuya!

They're above us!

They're all around the carrier!

Roger.

Yamamoto...

Yamamoto!

Enemy destroyed!

There's three of us left

with the troop carrier.

Roger.

Arriving at coordinate point.

It's beautiful...

The coordinate point is in there.

All units land.

Fire!

Yuki, quick!

Saito!

Move out!

Right!

Damn it!

There's hundreds of them!

Analyzer! Stand-alone mode!

Cover us!

Leave it to me.

Hurry.

Cover me!

Hey! Hey!

Make it back to earth, Mr....

Analyzer!

I'm sorry.

Quick!

I'll hold here!

Kato!

I probably won't hold it very long.

Hurry.

Move it!

Go!

Quick!

The coordinates point here.

This is lskandar?

Yuki...

Hey...

Yuki!

We have awaited you.

Yuki?

Saito went the same way.

So the lskandar story was true?

That is the name one of you gave it.

Yes...a man named Okita.

What?!

I knew it!

Kodai...

...there's...

...something i have to tell you.

That story about

a radiation device on lskandar...

... isn't true.

What's going on?!

We were sent coordinates,

and schematics.

That's all.

Why the story?

Because of you.

Me?

You survived a high dosage
