Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 3199

Entering orbit,

200 megameters from Pluto.

--Battle stations! --

Enemy sightings

are negative, sir.

Seas are calm today. It's kind of eerie.

Send up a signal round-- Do it now.

Signal round sighted

from vanguard ship Yukikaze .

Message: We have entered operation area.

Spotters report enemy sighted, sir.

Multiple contacts. Starboard, four o'clock.

EM Wave blackout cleared. Identify those vessels.

One Super-Dreadnaught Class Warship,

7 battleships, 22 cruisers, 70 destroyers and counting, sir.

All ships to combat positions.

Thirty degrees starboard. Ready the torpedoes.

Turning starboard.

Distance: 7.5 megameters.

Incoming message from the enemy.

"Attention all Earth vessels. Surrender or be destroyed."

How should we respond, sir?

Tell them, "Nuts."

Sir?

Go on. Send it.

Aye-aye. Earth fleet responding: "Nuts!"

The Yuguri is destroyed!

The Kurama is leaving formation.

--Now, sir? --Not yet.

Enemy ship is within firing range.

Target locked.

Open up all the gun ports--fire!

Evasive maneuver!

Two more of our cruisers are down!

Still no word from the Amaterasu?

No message received, sir.

Another Space Cruiser has been hit...

You really believe they'll come, Admiral?

We have to believe.

-- -- Uh!

Damage report:

we're leaking cyanide gas.

Engine output dropping!

Damage control. Get those bulkheads down, now!

Hang on, kid, do you hear me!

Don't you dare die on me!

Mom. Mom, is that you?

Damn it!

We've lost control.

We're leaving formation!

Our main cannon isn't powerful enough!

The enemy's advantage is overwhelming, sir.

This was an ambush?

Turn the ship, reverse course!

Fire team, where are you?

Keep working! We can't lose any more output.

And keep an eye out for those plasma leaks!

Chief. We've got things stabilized for now.

But if we keep taking these hits...

I told you, we'll be fine.

Have faith.

The Admiral's at the helm. He'll get us through this.

Eighty percent of our fleet

is out of commission, sir.

Mmm.

Signal from Amaterasu confirmed!

They're on course at interstellar speed.

They'll be passing Neptune shortly, sir!

Package will reach Mars

in 10 minutes, sir!

Send encrypted message to HQ.

"The Stone Door of Heaven is open."

Battle report: at 1200,

the First Fleet engaged the enemy 380 megameters from Pluto.

State of combat currently unknown.

Message received from Admiral Okita on the Kirishima .

"The Stone Door of Heaven is open."

Then so far, everything is going as planned.

When is the rendezvous with the package?

There's a two-man recovery squad,

waiting at the old Arcadia Port.

Today makes 3 weeks since we were dropped here.

You think Operation M is going our way?

Beats the hell out of me.

All I know is my brother's fighting at Pluto.

While I'm staring at red dirt.

Yeah?

Roger that.

That ends the staring.

That's it?

Hey, where you going?

There's an escape pod.

That's it.

Well?

She's who we're here to meet?

Don't know. She sure is beautiful.

This must be it.

The Isokaze's gone!

Keep fighting! Fire!

The recovery team has confirmed package in hand, sir.

Mm. Then the First Fleet's operation is complete.

Turn this ship around. Full retreat.

--Huh? --

Enemy destroyer approaching quickly from above, sir!

Target sighted!

They're trying to lock on!

Tubes one and two, fire!

Confirmed hit, target destroyed!

Gotcha!

Enemy destroyer is down, sir.

They're reorganizing their fleet.

Order remaining vessels to retreat.

Sending order now, sir!

How many of us survived?

Just us and one other ship.

That assault destroyer.

Who is she?

Captain Kodai's Yukikaze .

Incoming retreat order

from the Kirishima .

Retreat?

Message: "Disengage and withdraw.

Follow us home."

Exiting battlefield.

Turning hard to starboard.

They ignored us! They're not turning!

They're what?

Kodai. Follow my lead!

Negative, sir. We're not going anywhere.

That's an order!

The Yukikaze will stay on the battlefield.

We'll support the Kirishima 's withdrawal.

Don't do this! We've made great sacrifices

but the operation was a success! Now let's go home!

If we don't play this right,

our whole fleet will be wiped out!

And with no one left to protect Earth

there won't be a home to go back to!

Kodai!

Listen, Admiral. You can't die here.

You have to escape!

Earth needs you. You may be the best chance we've got.

I could say the same about you.

We need you, Captain!

Thank you for saying that, sir.

I'm going to take those words to the grave.

No, stop! You don't understand!

Give 'em hell. I'm leaving the earth in your care.

Kodai!

Well, all right. Let's take it to 'em.

Ha. We're only outnumbered 50 to 1.

Mm.

I'm sorry everyone.

They're flying directly

into the enemy fleet.

Admiral?

Maintain course. Full speed ahead.

Maintain course, full speed!

Stay alive, Kodai. Stay alive.

This is the Uzume, requesting permission to dock.

What's going on?

Where's my brother, and the rest of the fleet?

Package secured. Well done, soldiers.

Hirata. We're in the dark here.

What happened?

Where's my brother's ship, is he okay?

Our flagship has secured the capsule

from the Amaterasu, and set a course for Earth.

It cost many lives and many ships.

But the main objective of Operation M has been achieved.

That means the path is clear for the Yamato Plan.

The gambit worked.

No. This is just the start.

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

and how they'll counter.

All we can say for sure is they're monsters.

Demons who call themselves Gamilans.

Beyond that, we're in the dark.

Now entering Earth's orbit.

Two planet bombs sighted,

type MN3. Passing on the starboard side,

on a collision course with Earth.

Passing satellite orbit. Speed is unchanged.

Firing's pointless. Just a waste of rounds.

We don't have the power to stop them.

Hard to believe this ugly,

red rock is Mother Earth.

Just you wait, devils.

I'll fight you all the way to the end.

I'll never despair. I won't give you that.

Even if I'm the last one breathing, I'll never despair.

The year is 2199 A.D.

The human race is on the verge of extinction.

Our planet as we know it nearly destroyed.
