So they've shown up here, too.

I cannot accept this!

Confiscating the Ginga, maybe, but why do you need to take XO Kanzaki?!

I demand an explanation!

Lt. Commander Todo, orders don't need to be accepted.

They need to be followed.

And I'll obey orders that come through the appropriate chain of command.

But Commander Kazan, you...

We Dezarium are serving as a special advisory organization for the Earth government.

The President issued the order this morning,

and it will be approved by the Diet today.

Which means our demands are the demands of the Earth government.

Or is that not good enough?

But why Lt. Kanzaki?

During the earlier battle, Lt. Kanzaki succeeded in accessing the Cosmo Reverse

and firing the Ginga's main gun.

We're very curious about how this was accomplished.

What do you mean?

She's in a state close to brain death.

There's very little hope that your technology can cure her.

But we can.

One moment.

Baleras III was given to the Galman-Gamilas government by Earth.

Strictly speaking, Earth laws don't apply here.

This goes for the Ginga, which crashed here, as well.

Advisory organization or not, we have no need to acquiesce to your demands.

Correct. You're not Earthlings. You are outsiders.

A new Earth history is about to begin, one which does not need the Gamilas.

I'd prefer you stayed out of this, Ambassador Burrell.

Did you see what happened to the Bolar empire yesterday?

I haven't felt so satisfied in ages!

They came from a thousand years in the future, so they're invincible!

They say they're using the Grand Reverse to heal the hole in Saturn right now.

Is that really true?

The government approved it, so it must be.

What? That's awful fast.

They say things are just that serious.

Fine by me. I think I can trust that Skulldart guy more than our current president.

How'd it go?

They're fitting in fine.

Everybody is living normally next to the invaders.

Do they really believe they're Earthlings from the future?

They want to. They want to cling to that power that destroyed the Bolar so easily.

Yuria, let's get out of here.

Where will we go?

They took the Hyuga but released the crew.

I'll make contact with Nanbu-san.

Is that okay? Won't they be watching him?

I'll figure it out.

If he's really split with his father,

he'll be our ace in the hole.

Operation DAD isn't over yet.

I'm sure Mori-san, Captain Kodai, and the others are all...

All crew, full alert.

Bando, reconfirm the coordinates.

Ichikawa...

Signal on radar!

Prepare for air combat!

Wait.

Yankee-7 to Asuka.

I'll guide you to the coordinates.

Follow me.

We'll take the shortest route.

Don't fall behind.

This voice...

The Icarus Observatory.

An observation base abandoned before the war.

Its last recorded transmission was... ten years ago?!

So this is what we've been heading towards?

This is the Icarus Observatory.

Welcome, Asuka.

Asuka, please anchor at the designated coordinates.

Crew of the previous Yamato, please enter via transport to the docking bay.

Doctor, is that the one of the Yamato's...

No.

Analyzer is right here.

Transport has taken off from the Asuka.

It's time.

There it is!

The Yamato!

Yes, the Yamato!

It's the Yamato!

What? What's it doing here?

Come on, everybody! Let's check it out!

Quiet down!

Engine Chief! Wakasa-san! Kuri!

Nishina! Sakamaki! And Enomoto-san, too!

We're glad you're safe.

We've kept the new Yamato polished and ready to go.

We've been waiting forever!

Now everybody's finally here.

Yamazaki-san, is the Yamato ready to take off?

If we can head to Earth right now, I'd like to.

I'm sure you know what's going on.

We're needed.

It's not that simple.

XO Sanada? Commander Yamanami?

Why? The enemy is the Dezarium!

We know how to fight them!

We need to head back and...

That child...

I'll introduce you.

This is Mio Sanada.

She's registered as my niece.

Of course, you're more familiar with her real name.

Sasha!

Sasha...

I heard what happened. And I'm sorry.

Everyone wants to head to Earth immediately.

But we can't.

Command believes that the Yamato must remain hidden from the Dezarium.

Director Todo knew that this day would come.

He hid the Yamato and kept its crew away under conditions of absolute secrecy.

We shouldn't be careless.

We have much to discuss. Let's go.

Domon, Kyozuka, Bando, stay aboard the Asuka until further orders.

Tokugawa, come with me.

O-Okay!

So that's the famous Captain Kodai.

Ageha-kun?

I knew it was you!

Is he always like that?

What do you mean?

Just what I said.

Massive amounts of money were spent on the Yamato, including the secrecy operations.

It can't be entrusted to a mentally compromised captain...

Ageha, watch your mouth.

Sorry.

But you know his personality better than we do, right?

He was your classmate at training school.

Takeshi Ageha.

Currently a member of the Yamato's fighter group, for complicated reasons.

Say hello.

Ow.

Impressive.

Instead of escaping, you chose to prioritize gaining information on your foe.

As an individual in a military organization, it's extremely efficient.

Or in your people's words, courageous.

If you know who I am, I have a request.

If you're humans from the future, you should know how to treat me as a prisoner.

There is no reason to keep me lightly confined here.

So you want to be sent to a prison camp?

There are none.

We are already trusted allies of the Earth government.

So I have the right to leave?

Correct. But you want information, not your freedom.

Our organization, combat strength, plans and objectives...

What happened to the escape vessel you wished to take?

I'm willing to tell you.

Let's start by getting to know each other.

I'm Alphon.

A major in our intelligence unit.

I was put in charge of the Far East for the 2207 Earth Occupation Plan,

and I am also the one searching for the fragments of Iscandar.

This was taken two years ago, inside the Dezarium Fortress.

The 9207th Andromeda-class, constructed in the year 2535.

That's what its serial number suggests.

A future Andromeda?

To the Dezarium, it's a relic from the past.

Something to be recycled for resources, I'm sure.

This footage suggests the possibility that they are future humans.

At Commander Sanada's suggestion, this footage was kept under wraps,

and an anti-Dezarium task force was set up secretly at HQ.

Around the same time, elite members of the military, political and financial classes

began receiving strange transmissions.

Transmissions from a future facing destruction.

Technology that could not be analyzed by modern Earth.

We don't know how they were able to infiltrate our networks

and reach our most important politicians and corporate leaders.

But it's true that many believed the Dezarium and sided with them.

Why believe something so impossible?

Humanity has learned to expect the impossible since the Gamilas war.

But that's not all.

The unstable interstellar situation...

Economic problems caused by the drop in population...

To people for whom destruction seemed inevitable,

the Dezarium were powerful saviors.

And an attractive investment.

Perhaps to those who have lost sight of their future,

choosing to accept them seemed to be the best choice.

But we know what they did to Gamilas.

Even that alone is enough to prove that they can't be trusted.

Do you know what this is?

The end of Planet Gamilas.

You destroyed it. And took countless lives.

Yes.

But that's not how history was supposed to play out.

Gamilas was supposed to be destroyed in a Bolar Federation attack.

Alongside Iscandar.

Two years ago, we used the time hole,

the spacetime connection point, for our first military operation.

We headed to the Salezar system in 2205,

to destroy Gamilas, which was fated to die anyway,

and free Iscandar from its gravitational bonds so it could be taken back to our spacetime.

Why?

Because it was necessary.

The miracle of Iscandar that had saved the Earth a thousand years prior...

The Cosmo Reverse!

With it, we could repair the hole in Saturn.

And return our own Earth to its original form.

But it never happened.

Thanks to your desperate resistance, Iscandar...

Can't we start over?

If we could use this spacetime connection point to go back in time...

If we believe what the Dezarium said,

since the point linked our two spacetimes, they've been synchronized.

Synchronized?

We both have no choice but to go forward.

To both of us, 2205 is two years in the past.

We can never go back.

Iscandar's technology was lost. Forever.

I assume the Grand Reverse is a copy of the Cosmo Reverse, the best they could make.

But it's not perfect.

How do you know?

Because they want the fragments of Iscandar.

The fragments of Iscandar?

A ship which contains a pure wave motion core,

and once served as a vessel for the Cosmo Reverse.

The Yamato.

And a life which carries the element of the queen who once controlled Iscandar...

No...

Iscandarian civilization is far beyond our own,

even a thousand years in the future.

Especially since the Great Loss that occurred with the Saturn space rupture.

But it gave us a miraculous chance to travel a thousand years in the past.

I want your help, Yuki.

Not as a soldier, but as a part of the continuous chain called humanity.

If we can research the fragments of Iscandar and finish the Grand Reverse,

we can change the future.

I understand how you feel. I do.

But you're being a bit hard-headed, don't you think?

He's the heir to the Ageha Group.

He sees things differently than us peasants.

Like back then...

Hyperspace transmission detected!

From where? I thought long-range communications had been shut down.

I can't say from where.

It disappeared immediately.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

Even if what you say is true, I...

Is that your response as a soldier?

Or as a woman who loves the man called Kodai?

You don't need to answer me.

I want you to come to understand us, even if it takes time.

I want to learn this feeling of "love" you have as well.

That's why we came here, after all.

We've found the location of the fragment of Iscandar.

The Golba Enam has reached the designated area.

Azul, retrieve it no matter the cost.

So that we can finish the Grand Reverse and avoid our future destruction!

Even if it costs us our lives!

Where are you going, General Serizawa?

I have biological needs. You wouldn't understand.

Emergency transmission received.

Code 1-A. Code 1-A.

So they followed us.

Commander Yamanami, the Asuka will launch immediately

and draw the enemy's attention.

No, we're done running and hiding.

The Yamato will launch.

We could continue to run, but the Yamato has always made the impossible possible.

We humans will never bend the knee to those who demand our surrender.

Even if they are our own future.

We need to make the Dezarium understand that.

Prepare to leave port!

All crew to battle stations! The Yamato will now take off!

The Asuka will leave the Icarus Observatory and prepare for combat with the enemy!

Connect the flywheel!

Captain Kodai, I'm taking the helm.

You've yet to take the lectures on the new Yamato.

I'll leave it to you.

Glad to have you.

Detecting warp-out signal!

We've detected the asteroid where the target is hiding.

We'll capture it!

Damn! They're ignoring us?!

They're only after the Yamato... Why?

Gravity waves from the enemy fortress!

Move us away!

Order the launch, Commander Yamanami!

Not yet.

Commander!

Detonate the crust!

Five, four, three, two, one...

Connect flywheel! Ignite!

Launch the Yamato!

Prepare to fire the wave motion cartridge rounds!

Loaded and ready!

Ready to fire.

Fire!

Wave motion core, activating at criticality!

Impossible... This can't be!

One hit... It only took one hit?!

Look carefully, Dezarium.

This is the Yamato.

It truly is a cursed power.

What is she looking at?

No matter how much she looks, she won't see the Yamato.

She can see it.

Even if not through her eyes.

That's what humans are.
