GRANDFATHER: On April 6, 1945...

at 1645...

the Yamato departed from Tokuyama...

in order to perform Operation Kikusui.

The enemy-resistant armor Marumo...

still has not reached the stage of completion yet.

April 7, at 1300 hours...

the enemy airplane is coming to attack.

With regret, to avoid being a target...

take the catalyst, the Moltron, from the Marumo.

Yamato, please bear this bombing.

If you could do that, I will...

If you could do that, I will...

AMAGI: Grandfather...

theoretically, it's impossible to produce the Moltron.

Marumo must've been a foolish dream.

With the Sakigake...

1 will soon confirm the validity of grandfather's investigation.

NEWSCASTER: People of the world...

Professor Amagi, as advisor to the ZIC company...

has once again changed the impossible to the possible.

The tragedy of the sunken battleship...

known as the Yamato...

happened one century ago off the shore of Bogasalki...

and the salvage operation has taken exactly six months.

HIROSHI: Oh, it's finally time?

Pretty neat, huh?

Have you looked at Mr. Misaki's disk?

No. I couldn't.

He's placed some kind of impenetrable protection...

around the information.

That Misaki-- he gives me all the info...

then he makes sure l can't see it.

Why don't you show some respect?

If--if you knew the trouble that I...

REPORTER: Ms. Takeya of Kyushu...

we have exciting news here, too.

A dimension sailing ship called Sakigake...

that can journey to unexplored galaxies...

is ready to be launched in two weeks.

Here are some of the brave astronauts...

involved in the selection.

MIRAL Oh--Ha ha ha! It's Mr. Misaki.

CHAIRMAN: I was right.

The suitable person is this man.

- Mr. Chairman. - Talk to me.

MAN: The "A" facility electronic lock was forcibly broken.

An industrial spy! Seal the building!

MAN: Bring that light over here!

SECOND MAN: Check level "B"!

THIRD MAN: Level "B" clear!

Whew!

That surprised me.

COMPUTER: The probability of finding Professor Amagi...

according to the sensor, is down to 0.2%, sir.

That darn alarm.

I guess I got in a little too far.

COMPUTER: The armored plate...

of the dimension barrier changing system has a defect...

as Professor Amagi's study data shows.

And so it's up to me to correct this defect.

Right!

NEWSCASTER: Now, as Professor Amagi has instructed...

the general workers have left the dock area.

This dangerous mission...

must be accomplished by his staff directly.

BROOKE: The melding is done, Sayuri.

Please start the electric power and air now.

SAYURI: Got it, Brooke.

MAN: Professor...

you promised you would stay inside the study room...

until the Mids was finished.

AMAGI: This is for the further development of technology.

Get your hands off me!

MAN: Professor, wait!

Please wait!

IDA system's set up?

SAYURL: As you've directed, professor.

AMAGI: You're right.

Until I confirm my grandfather's analysis...

don't let anyone near the Yamato.

Huh?

Heh heh heh!

Hello there, professor.

Ahem! I'm terribly-- I'm terribly sorry.

Uh, haven't I seen you somewhere before?

Yes. I'm Hiroshi's younger brother Nozomu.

That's right. We met in Florida.

What are you doing in the professor's rest room?

NOZOMU: "Many great inventions were born in the rest room."

It was in your book, professor.

Yeah.

Now, since Moldiver is practicing...

your dimension barrier theory...

perhaps you should perfect it, right?

- Impertinent little-- - Eh, just a minute.

No! Don't pull on that knob!

Aah!

No!

Professor!

Oh!

Oh, no.

They're plunging into danger.

Where are we?

Bridge of the battleship Yamato, boy!

That's the material transport system, isn't it?

What? Er, uh...

What's this?

Whaa!

Don't touch that! Not again!

Wait for my permission!

- Huh? - Hmm?

- Aah! - Aah!

- Oofl - Oof!

Professor?

Grandfather...

The Yamato will absolutely...

Whew! At least he's not dead.

So this is...

Um...

Ohh...

The dimensional barrier room.

JENNIFER: Brooke, Sayuri...

the others have just transferred using the IDA.

Until the professor's safety is assured...

no one is to come near the Yamato.

- Roger. - Roger.

- There's no picture! - The lens cap, dummy!

REPORTER: As this century's greatest moment...

is approaching...

let me introduce our special guest, Miss Yamato!

M-Mao?

MAO: Hi! It's me, Miss Yamato-- Mao Shirase.

How do you feel as this greatest moment finally arrives?

MAO: Oh, completely flushed with excitement.

It's a pity the Sakigake can't run on hot air.

HIROSHI: Aren't they done raising her up yet?

MIRAL Had any luck with the disk yet?

HIROSHI: When you're hungry, you can't concentrate.

Isn't there anything to eat?

How should I know?

Today is Nozomu's turn to take care of it.

Speaking of that little devil, where did he go?

Uhh...

Huh? What's that?

Here is the proof.

Such a thing really was made.

NOZOMU: You'd better not get up yet, sir.

Rookie, do you know what that thing is?

Yeah--1 mean, of course not...

but I'm pretty sure I can get it running.

Hmm...just as I was as a child.

A precocious curiosity is a defining mark...

of a fine technologist.

Ooh, just look at these old things.

AMAGI: Uh-huh.

An example of ancient technology.

NOZOMU: Huh? Yeah!

It's working.

That's great!

AMAGI: Not yet. The tower, up on top.

You must plug the Moltron Catalyst into that tower.

Say, rookie...

did you see a light bulb rolling about on the floor?

NOZOMU: Uh--heh heh-- I didn't see anything at all.

AMAGI: Oh, is that so--

[Beeping]

- Aah! - What's that noise?

Eh, nothing, just a watch.

Are you safe, Professor Machinegal?

Idiot! Don't use that name!

That stowaway is still here.

JENNIFER: There's something more urgent, professor.

Time's running out on the Yamato.

The Yamato is... It's surfacing!

What should we do?

It can't be helped.

I'll head towards the bridge immediately.

The Yamato must be taken by force, if necessary.

JENNIFER: Yes, Professor Machinegal.

AMAGI: Boy, go to the deck.

When the Yamato surfaces, jump into the ocean.

Do you understand?

NOZOMU: OK.

It's a good thing...

that I didn't show him the Moldiver data...

because if the professor is really Machinegal...

COMPUTER: The voice pattern matches exactly.

There's no question of it.

NOZOMU: Right.

Aha!

Now what we've all been waiting for--the countdown.

Five seconds...

four seconds...

three...two...one!

REPORTER: We did it! It's huge!

Made a century ago, this is possibly the greatest--

AMAGI: It's too bad I have captured this ship!

Anyone foolish enough to come forth and fight...

this Yamato's 18-inch cannon will blow you away!

Ha ha! Machinegal on top again!

This can't go unpunished.

Huh?

Mirai?

MIRAI: Metamorforce!

In the water. A simple threat should be enough.

Aye, aye.

Fire!

Ah, there's nothing like the sound of a big gun...

don't you agree, girls?

MIRAI: The bigger the gun, the smaller the man, Machinegal!

AMAGI: What?

No! It's that leggy girl who breaks everything.

Sayuri, Brooke, do something, and do not damage the Yamato!

- Aye, aye, professor. - It's payback time.

Huh? Aah!

Aah! What you damage is irreplaceable!

My number one sub cannon base...

Ha ha!

Uh-oh.

Take that--Ohh!

I'm crushed that you think so little of me.

I fixed it!

Yes! Smash her into bits!

Huh? What's this?

Aah!

TV ANNOUNCER: The Yamato's been engulfed by a strange glow.

Huh?

JENNIFER: Professor, we have an emergency.

The Yamato is rising into the air.

What--what did you say?

Aah!

TV ANNOUNCER: The Yamato is rising into the sky.

What is Machinegal up to?

And where is he trying to go?

That's what I'd like to know.

Professor, what's happening to us, sir?

I haven't the slightest idea.

JENNIFER: Professor?

Ah! What's that?

Ah, I see, grandfather! This is the Moltron.

Hee-yah!

What's happening?

Hey! What's going on?

- Aah! - Aah!

Professor, do something!

AMAGI: It's the enemy-resistant armor Marumo.

The entire Yamato is surrounded by it.

In addition, there's a terrible defect.

Earth's gravity has been shut off.

Send Sayuri down here immediately!

Hurry!

The heat and gravity are too strong...

to attempt it by myself.

SAYURI: Understood, professor. Brooke, I'm counting on you.

BROOKE: Leave it to me.

MIRAL You're not going anywhere!

Oh, no! My time's already out!

But it's different than usual.

BROOKE: He disappeared.

Sorry I'm underdressed for battle.

Let me change, and we'll see about that.

Metamorforce!

Well?

No way! Don't tell me!

Darn. Is it broken or something?

REPORTER: Now the Yamato's altitude is 1,800 meters.

How high will it go at this rate?

Huh?

Aah! Sayuri!

SAYURI: Professor!

AMAGI: Take the crystal element from the panel...

and for heaven's sake, don't scratch it!

SAYURIL: Yes, sir.

MIRAI: Ah-choo!

Oh, this isn't funny.

If 1 don't transform soon, I'm going to freeze to death.

I'm counting on you.

Metamorforce!

NOZOMU: Huh?

All right!

If Mirai has come here, then...

No!

The professor is in danger!

Whaa!

JENNIFER: Please hurry and escape, professor.

The Yamato can't be saved.

Hurry to the IDA--Ohh!

- Aah! - Aah!

OK, there, fatso.

Let's get something straight here.

There's no way you can hurt this body, buddy!

Huh?

Try eating this.

Fire!

- Yay! - Yay!

He can't be human!

Little dolls shouldn't play with guns.

Huh?

Here ya go!

Huh?

What's this thing?

Aah!

MIRAI: Machinegal...

At last I've cornered him.

Don't run away, cowards! You must stand and fight!

We must finish adjusting...

the enemy-resistant armor Marumo.

Damn these honorless drafted workers.

This was meant to be worshipped.

The day will come when it's sunk in battle.

But at least the Yamato will die with honor.

AMAGI: Grandfather...

from the start, it was you and the Yamato.

SAYURL: Professor! I'm almost there.

You can do it!

Aah!

Aah!

AMAGI: Sayuri!

Mission accomplished!

Get out now!

Professor!

Ooh!

Quittin' time!

Machinegal was in that explosion.

Professor will be OK.

A technologist shouldn't die like that.

Thanks, little boy.

Catch ya later.

- Something about him... - A secret child, perhaps?

- Yeah? - [Machinegal moans]

Where am I?

Oh, yes, the IDA.

Sorry about the Moltrons. Forgive me.

I only got one.

This one will be enough.

Professor, this, too.

GRANDFATHER: "Due to the Moltron...

"which I feel is a gift from heaven...

"I've realized much of my dream."

AMAGI: He was right.

From the beginning, grandfather and the Moltron--

a dimension barrier over a hundred years ago!

Ha ha! It's fantastic!

MISAKI: At least you would know the defect of the Mids.

None of our pilots can bear it.

I'm afraid the chance of survival is 15% or less.

MISAKI: They might choose me...

and I might be the pilot, or whomever they choose...

but you haven't gotten information on the Moldiver...

and that secret is needed for our dream to succeed.

Otherwise, there's no hope for any of us.

It's no good.

What do you mean, "It's no good"?

If we don't give him the Mol Unit, he'll die!

It's reached its limit.

The Mol Unit is completely used up.

Maybe a few more times, but...no!

Once more is probably it.

NOZOMU: I did it, didn't I?

COMPUTER: That is correct--completed.

It has the function of warping empty space.

Whew! I never thought I'd finish it.

I've become the most supreme technologist of all.

MAO: I'm Miss Sakigake? How exciting!

MIRAI: As the dimension-bound project...

is put in motion...

the dolls approach the rocket Mr. Misaki is piloting.

MAO: Uh-uh! My Mr. Misaki!

MIRAI: And a mysterious superhuman throws off its mask!

MAO: Wait. Don't ignore me. You should answer me.

MIRAI: Maybe, in the next episode, "Intruder..."

I will do it for you.

Metamorforce!
