Wait...

Wait!

Nobuo-san!

Aya!

Wait, don't go!

I don't want to be alone!

Nobuo-san! Aya!

Pulse lost. Cosmo Reverse has gone silent.

The Ginga's Cosmo Reverse has already fulfilled its role

and the wave motion core connected to it, is of Earth origin.

So a replica's not going to work, huh?

I had thought that perhaps

the intervention of someone who had synchronized with the Cosmo Reverse,

even if only for a moment, would be sufficient.

It's been several centuries since we Dezarium have moved away

from cursed wave motion energy to phase energy.

There's only one way to unlock its mysteries and complete the Grand Reverse.

The fragment of Iscandar. The space battleship Yamato.

I'm told it defeated the Golba and set out for parts unknown.

I find myself frustrated by the Earth government's lack of cooperation.

Don't you agree, Kazan?

Yes.

Follow the timeline.

History cannot be changed without the fragment of Iscandar.

Show the Earthlings of this time what we the Dezarium,

who survived the Great Loss, have learned.

These weak humans, who wish to be right,

but whose egos have grown too large.

You want us to wear these?

These Com-Medals will share the mental state and vitals of the wearer with Mother Dezarium,

and she will adjust their thoughts as needed.

They're central to the bio-network that's at the core of our civilization.

They'll be of use to you.

So if we wear these, you'll know all of our secrets?

That's will help prevent accidents like the one that occurred yesterday.

We've told you many times

that we need the Yamato to finish the Grand Reverse.

And yet—

We have no proof that the Grand Reverse is what you say.

Our defense forces

which first made contact with you near the 11th planet have gone missing.

Without being allowed to even search for them...

We're the ones who will do that.

And when will you do that?

An adviser does not have the right to restrict military activities.

That is the Earth government's decision to make.

Why not complain to the president, or the other Todo?

Commander Kazan, we humans are not as logical as the Dezarium.

We have accepted you, but we do not trust you.

That will take a long time.

We hope to reach the level of trust...

to be able to hand over the Yamato.

Of course. We force no one.

We only make requests.

To save the future!

11th Planet Region (AKA Gatlantis Belt)

This is Yankee-1.

Visual confirmation of target.

There's no doubt about it.

These are the ships of the 11th Escort Fleet.

None of them have any external damage. Their engines remain active.

Proceeding to approach and inspect the flagship Alpheratz.

The Gatlantis Belt's observation network will come online again in another 12 hours.

Make it quick, Flight Commander Yamamoto.

Why is no one here?

It's not supposed to be a ghost ship.

Quiet.

Are they dead?

I'll check.

Keep your helmet on.

What's wrong?

There are so many ships coming and going today.

The migration is beginning.

Preparations have been made for us

to temporarily be given the land around the Grand Reverse

for military staff and their families.

Families? You have families?

Is that bad?

You have no idea

how much effort we've had to put into just being human.

You have a tense look on your face, Mr. President.

This is supposed to be a welcoming ceremony.

They attacked us by surprise.

I find it hard to smile at that.

That's not very nice. We told you in advance.

You didn't agree, though.

You have everything lined up in the Diet for the Dezarium

to be given land, homes, and infrastructure in exchange for technology.

It's all for the sake of the future.

We need to leave a better world for our descendants.

Maxim!

Alphon!

I didn't expect you to be here to welcome me.

I'm sure you're busy.

We have an old promise. I'd prioritize it over anything.

I wanted Ranbel to come too, but...

I've heard the situation.

You've yet to catch the fragment of Iscandar, right?

Yes. There are probably deliberate gaps left in their observation grid.

That Todo guy is clever.

We should be careful.

I'll let you soldiers handle the rough stuff.

We bureaucrats simply quietly carry out our duties.

You've grown up, Frulul.

How does it feel to be 1,000 years in the past?

Randomly combined genetic information is used to create a brainstem

that's implanted into an artificial body.

It begins with a child's body,

and the mind and body grow together...

There are more efficient ways, I'm sure,

but that is what they chose to maintain their humanity.

It's ironic, isn't it?

Mankind has sought a society free of gender and the old values,

but they sought refuge in traditional ideas of the family.

My sister never had a family.

Fate turned out like it did,

but it should have been her who was sitting in the director's seat.

I was weak for someone born into a military household...

If I'd joined the military first, she could've lived another life.

One's life is theirs alone.

It's rude to feel responsible just because you're siblings.

Shino-san accepted the Dezarium because—

Are you two representatives of the military skipping the welcome ceremony?

Oh, Chairman Ageha!

None of us are the welcome ceremony type.

If you're skipping, I'll join you.

We brought them aboard the Yamato and examined them,

and found that their brains' cognitive abilities have been badly degraded.

Synapse plasticity has been lost, and their neurotransmitters are almost all gone.

It's like the synaptic network that creates the human will has been shorted out...

But the parts needed for survival are all functioning normally.

All 98 members of the escort fleet are showing the same symptoms.

Recorded footage makes it clear that contact with the Grand Reverse was the cause.

There's nothing we can do for them here.

I'd like to make a decision right away.

Roger.

Can you stay put until our next scheduled communication?

We've been anchored here for over four hours.

I'm worried about that huge ship that destroyed the Bolars.

We should move as soon as we can.

Chairman Ageha, thank you.

It's just a little relic of the Gamilas War.

A lot has happened here,

but I'm glad I left things as they were.

I'm sure our observers have no idea

that there's an interstellar communications device

deep within a museum owned by the Ageha Group.

No, they're no fools.

They discovered that the Yamato was hidden in the Icarus Observatory.

I'm not just saying this because my son's aboard, but...

Wouldn't it be best to get the Yamato out of the solar system quickly?

Chasing the rabbit over the mountain...

News: Dezarium Arrival Welcome Ceremony Live Broadcast

News: Dezarium Arrival Welcome Ceremony Live Broadcast

Hello?

This is Kosaka with Ichigyo Elementary School.

Oh, sir.

We're reopening the school this week.

Will Tsubasa-kun be attending?

Oh, yes. He's still nervous on his own,

so I'm going to have a relative's child go with him.

I've got day shifts at the hospital, so...

It's flashing again.

I've got them. Be careful, Ranbel.

That ship took out the Golba with one shot. Don't let your guard down.

They're a worthy opponent, then.

It's time for me to play my part.

Just wait for good news, Princess.

There's something I want you all to hear.

It's about the Grand Reverse. It's supposedly modeled after the Cosmo Reverse,

and made to save the future from destruction.

But it's very likely a type of bomb

that causes hyperon collapse in order to emit an unknown type of lepton.

A bomb?!

Hyperon?

These unknown leptons cause electromagnetic interference within the human brain,

making synaptic activity impossible.

To use the language of the Dezarium, for whom machine and body are one,

they were reformatted.

For another will to take the place of the original.

Probably the Dezarium's bio-network.

If it really is a bomb... a hyperon bomb...

then it's big enough to reformat the brains of all humans on Earth.

They will unite human will by turning humans into Dezarium.

No, it's not even "will."

Humanity will be nothing but terminals connected to the Dezarium.

B-But can they fix history like that?

They want to remain human...

Of course, it's not their first choice.

But they've prepared this option in case we refuse them.

Captain Kodai.

As captain of the Yamato, any thoughts on this hypothesis?

No, not really.

Then I'll speak.

Right now, they're being friendly,

but they've got a gun to the head of every Earthling.

We have to—

Warp-out signal detected!

You're mine, fragment of Iscandar.

Sit in the command chair, Captain Kodai.

He will serve as tactical officer.

Enemy ship approaching rapidly.

It's the heavy-class!

98,000 kilometers!

Prepare for anti-ship battle!

Domon, hurry!

Right!

Target bearing 2-0-7, vertical 3.

40 seconds until it enters firing range.

Link main guns with rear ship.

Target.

Fire!

Phase armor!

Second volley! Fire!

Radar!

Signal lost!

No signs of warping!

Break formation! Evasive maneuvers!

Asuka's been hit!

Engine power dropping! We'll deal with it!

Yamato, get out of here!

Captain Kitano!

Domon! Focus!

We'll head back to the Gatlantis Belt. It'll give us cover.

I can't sink it, but I can't get the fragment without stopping it.

So I've gotta hold back, huh?

That's the thing I'm worst at.

It's no good! I can't find it!

No gravity waves, or dimensional quakes detected...

So it's not a dimensional submarine?

That's right.

The enemy is in normal space! Right in front of us!

But with those stealth capabilities...

There's a way!

There's a way...

to smoke out the enemy!

You get one chance.

We'll buy as much time as we can.

You want us to do it fast, right?

Now let the dumb dog out of its cage.

The Cosmo Hound has left the Yamato!

The Cosmo Hound?

What is he doing?!

The enemy ship seems to be flying alongside the Yamato!

It keeps hiding behind the trash.

Is this really the Yamato?

I'm growing angry.

Should I blast it with the Infinite Beta Cannon?

Detecting supernormal deployment of extra dimensions.

It's not from the Yamato.

Bearing 1-5-6, distance...

What?!

There it is! The red light!

Alpheratz to Yamato.

We've sighted the light of the phase armor.

Sending coordinates! Double check immediately!

What?!

Prepare to fire the wave motion cartridge rounds.

Remove obstacles.

Head around to the target's side.

Right on target.

Fire!

Yamato, you're pretty entertaining.

Message from your commander.

Well done, everyone.

I was right. The Yamato always wins in the face of the impossible.

And so I will say this...

We're heading to the Dezarium home planet!

This spacetime connection point that supposedly exists in the center of the galaxy.

We don't know if our world from a thousand years in the future truly exists there.

But in light of the fact that all humans on Earth may have been taken hostage,

we shall go.

To see if the Dezarium are truly future humans.

And even if they are,

to find a better way to work this out than their one-sided invasion.

The Yamato will get underway.

Commander Kodai.

By my authority as the leader of this unit,

I am removing you from your posting as captain of the Yamato.

I will take the Yamato.

You are to take the role of the Asuka's tactical chief.

Return to Earth as soon as repairs are finished.

Yes, sir.
