Damn it!

Our main cannon just isn't big enough!

The enemy has an overwhelming advantage.

This was an ambush?

Turn the ship! Reverse course!

Firefighting teams, hurry!

Keep working! Maintain output!

Watch for plasma leaks!

Chief...

We've got things under control, but at this rate...

At 1200, the First Fleet encountered the enemy

380,000 kilometers off the coast of Pluto.

The state of the battle is currently unknown.

A message from Commander Okita of the Kirishima.

"The Stone Door of Heaven is opening," he says.

Everything's going as planned so far.

When will the rendezvous with the target take place?

There's a two-man recovery squad waiting at Arcadia Port on Mars.

Mars, Remains of Arcadia Port

It's been three weeks since we were dropped here.

I wonder if Operation M was a success.

My brother's fighting on Pluto, and I'm just sitting here...

Yes?

Roger

That's our cue.

IS that it?

Hey, Kodai!

It's an escape pod.

That's it.

Well?

That's a girl?

Looks like it.

She's beautiful...

So this is it?

The Isokaze's been destroyed.

Stay strong!

Fire!

The Uzume has recovered the Amaterasu.

The First Fleet's operation is complete.

Withdraw!

Enemy destroyer approaching quickly from above us!

Sight target.

Gunports one and two, fire!

Confirmed hit. Target destroyed!

All right!

Enemy ship has sunk.

Enemy fleet is reorganizing.

Issue a withdrawal order to all ships.

How many allied ships survived?

Just us and one destroyer.

Whose ship?

Major Kodai's Yukikaze.

Withdrawal signal from the Kirishima.

Withdrawal?

"We will now withdraw. Follow us."

We're leaving the battlefield.

Hard to starboard.

The Yukikaze isn't turning!

What?

Kodai, follow me.

Commander Okita, I'm not going to withdraw.

Kodai!

The Yukikaze will remain on the battlefield and support the Kirishima withdrawal.

Kodai, we've made many sacrifices, but the operation was a success.

Withdraw!

If we don't do something, Earth's fleet will be destroyed.

Then there will be no one left to protect the Earth.

Kodai!

Commander Okita, you cannot die here.

Earth needs you.

The same thing is true for you!

The same thing, Kodai!

Thank you.

Those words are enough.

Please understand!

Be well. I leave the Earth in your care.

Kodai!

All right then.

Let's go give their base a hard kick.

Cross the waves of the galactic sea

Aim for the fixed star of Centauri

Far beyond the twinkling of the stars

A shining ship of the stars twinkling in space

Set sail! We're leaving port! Raise the anchor!

Hold 'er steady, ahoy!

Turn the rudder toward the stars!

Everyone, I'm sorry.

The Yukikaze has headed into the enemy fleet.

Commander...

Yamanami, maintain course.

Maintain course!

Stay alive, Kodai.

Three Weeks Later

This is the Uzume, requesting permission to dock.

Where's the fleet? Where's my brother's ship?

Here lies a visitor from a distant star

Got it.

Well done.

Hirata, tell me...

What happened to the Yukikaze?

Where's my brother's ship?

The Kirishima has recovered the Amaterasu

and has set a course to Earth.

It cost many lives, but Operation M was a success.

Now the Yamato Plan can actually start, yes?

No, it's just beginning.

There's too much we don't know about our enemy.

All we know is that the enemy are demons called Gamilas.

Now entering Earth orbit.
