"Our current position in space is represented by the point." "The horizontal bars show the time waves to be warped to." "However, distortions in space cause mismatch in time." "So warping must occur when this mismatch is zero namely, when these two points are perfectly aligned."

"After the successful warp test Yamato force-landed on Mars." "There, they made repairs before heading for Jupiter." "At Jupiter, they hit its strong gravitational field and crash-landed into the Methane Sea."

"Please order us to attack them!" "We can't just let them continue bombing Earth." "Captain!" "I know." "Shima, full speed to Pluto." "Yamato set a course for Pluto base." "But they weren't expecting the Gamilus Reflection Gun." "Energy ray heading this way!" "Yamato hid on the other side." "Fire!"

"Yamato will be helpless." "But we mustn't underestimate them." "Their captain, Okita, is no ordinary man." "Domel's fleet is gathering for the battle." "They're prepared to attack us at full force." "We must win for Earth, and to bring peace to all the universe." "It is essential that we destroy them." "Of course, we won't know the result until the battle is fought." "Let us toast our temporary farewell." "But this is not to prepare for death." "It is to renew our vows to victory." "To our victory!" "Sir, it's Yamato!" "Yamato's arrived!" "The mouse approaches the trap!" "The radar has gone out!" "Much rests on the result of this battle." "All ships to battle stations!" "All ships to battle stations!" "Enemy off to port!" "Follow me!" "Second fleet bombers away!" "It's time to show them our "Warp Device"." "Fleet gathered at warp area." "Right!" "Gamilus Fleet overhead!" "What?" "Kodai, where are you?" "Gamilus is bombing us." "They've lured us into a trap!" "Roger, we'll be right back!" "All fighters stop pursuit, go back to Yamato at full speed!" "Roger!" "Good!" "Launch the third wave!" "Our bombers are handling their fighters." "Her defenses are weak on the other side." "{\an8\pos(467.333,604.667)}[Carrier nr. 3]" "Torpedo bombers awaiting warp, Sir." "Combat Chief, we need cover!" "Yamato is under constant fire!" "Time for the final blow." "All fighters return!" "{\an8\pos(474,615.333)}[Battle Carrier]" "Drill bomber, take-off!" "{\an8\pos(482,508.667)}[Heideln, Battle Carrier Chief]" "We're low on energy!" "Let's recharge!" "Black Tigers returning." "All of Yamato's fighters have returned." "Now's the time!" "Attack!" "Get out!" "Emergency!" "Evacuate the engine room." "Here it comes!" "If it explodes, that will be the end of Yamato!" "Analyzer, find the power supply!" "Aye, aye!" "Sanada here." "I'm inside the missile." "I'll try to put it in reverse." "15 minutes to missile explosion." "Yamato can't use her Wave Motion Gun." "She's finished!" "Sanada, how's the drill missile coming?" "I'm still working on it." "All ships prepare to attack!" "Attack!" "How's the drill missile?" "Can't we use the Wave Motion Gun yet?" "Damn!" "I've got it!" "Reverse these settings!" "Aye, aye." "Second cannon out of action." "Yamato's helpless." "Domel's fleet is attacking!" "Yamato is floating helplessly." "30 seconds to missile explosion." "You fought hard and well, Yamato." "Right, connect those cables." "It's turning!" "It's working, let's go!" "He did it!" "What...?" "What's happening?" "Our whole fleet is destroyed!" "Keep calm, Gale." "The battle has not yet ended." "When I die, so will Yamato!" "Head straight for Yamato!" "Ramming won't destroy her." "We'll set our self-destruct mechanism." "Self-destruct...?" "Yes, set it for 30 seconds." "This is my final hand." "Radar is fixed." "There's a ship underneath us!" "Something is on the screen." "Captain Okita, I am Solar System Commander Domel." "I am Okita, Captain of the Space Battleship Yamato." "I respect your courage, skill, and wisdom." "We are both fighting to save our mother planets." "There is no need for further bloodshed." "Allow us to get to Iscandar." "That I cannot do." "Just as you are fighting for your Earth I, too, am fighting for Gamilus." "Even if it costs me my life, I can't let you reach Iscandar." "But Commander Domel..." "It's an honor to have had you for an opponent." "Glory be to both Gamilus and Earth!" "He's going to self-destruct!" "Attention, lower deck hands." "Evacuate to the upper deck!" "Close all bulkheads." "Seal off all lower decks." "Thus, the most powerful fleet in the universe was destroyed." "Yamato lost many hands, and a funeral was held for them." "To those men who have given their lives for Earth." "Your spirit lives on with us and urges us on to tomorrow." "We shall never forget you." "We have an incoming signal." "...Stasha..." "This is Stasha, of Iscandar..." "Yes, it is Stasha!" "It's between the 18th and 36th meter space bands." "Perhaps that's where Iscandar is." "...this is Stasha, of Iscandar." "Do you read, Yamato?" "You have finally arrived at Iscandar." "Iscandar is the eight planet in the Magellanic Cloud System 0.8 light years from your current position." "Please proceed to follow my radar beacon." "Hey, Shima!" " Kodai!" "This is great!" "We did it!" "After 198 hard, grueling days since departing Earth Yamato is now within reach of Iscandar." "Let's go with the self-timer." "Got it!" "Ouch!" "That hurt!" "It came out well." "It'll be something to show our children." "I guess you're right." "I've got work to do." "Thanks." "Bye." "Boy, women sure do plan ahead...!" "Thinking about having children already." ""..." "OUR children"?" "What is it?" "Sorry to disturb you." "It's Iscandar's radar beacon..." "Is it out?" "Transfer operations to main bridge." "Inform the Acting Captain." "This is the planet Iscandar." "The eight planet, about 300 million km. from their sun." "About 1.3 times larger than Earth." "We know that!" "What's happened?" "Is it news about Gamilus' location?" "That's right." "We've lost Iscandar's radar beacon." "Get to the point!" "Gamilus is right next to Iscandar." "What?" "Put the radar on the large screen." "Aye, aye, Sir." "Which one is Gamilus?" "The jamming comes from the one in front." "The 2 planets are in a single orbit." "A twin planetary system?" "So they orbit each other as they orbit their sun?" "Exactly." "The evil planet Gamilus was until now a mystery to them." "But now, they must pass it in order to reach Iscandar." "Hail Lord Dessler!" "Yamato has arrived." "I speak to our entire force." "We will place Gamilus in the path of Yamato." "I'll explain my plan." "This is our planet, Gamilus." "Gamilus, Iscandar's twin planet, is 16.000 km in diameter." "This is its cross-section." "We have the inner core of the planet, surrounded by the outer surface, consisting of oceans and continents." "The continents form many mountains ranges." "These mountains form pillars and rocky walls which form a ceiling of up to 10 km in thickness." "The space between the core and the outer surface was once a solid body but was carved away by underground rivers." "That is the unique feature of our planet." "You all know that Gamilus will not last much longer." "The proof of this is in the sulfurating of our interior." "The sulfuric acid gases from our volcanoes and the sulfurous lava from them all go into our oceans." "Now, our oceans are concentrated sulfuric acid and the wind carries storms of sulfuric acid." "I want Yamato at the bottom of our acid ocean!" "A fitting grave for the Space Battleship Yamato." "Yamato is at this moment caught in the magnetic grip of a ferrite cloud 5.000 km above our planet." "This powerful magnetic field disrupts all communication as well as their instruments." "When we activate our magnetic oscillator..." "Yamato will be powerless in its grip and we can draw her at will into the acid sea." "We'll create an acid storm with the atmospheric transformer and blast her with our coastal depth charges." "Yamato's fate will be like that of a cockroach in a cup of acid!" "What is this?" "We're caught in a strong magnetic field." "We're being pulled towards Gamilus!" "Damn!" "It's that thing that's all around us." "Reverse thrust!" "Hurry!" "All hands to battle stations!" "It's no use, we've no control." "Help!" "That hurts!" "Not a very warm welcome from Gamilus." "There's an underground ocean." "How strange." "Kodai, what'll we do?" "All we can do is wait for their next move." "Analyzer, we need a report on the atmosphere." "Just a minute." "Sanada's fixing him now." "Just when we need him most." "Storm clouds are forming." "A storm is coming." "Okay, you're fixed." "Report on the atmosphere and ocean." "Ships belong in water." "The rocking feels good, doesn't it?" "Analysis completed." "The atmosphere is sulfuric gas." "The rain is pure acid, and the ocean is pH 3 sulfuric acid." "What!" "Yamato will be eaten away!" "Full power to vertical climb!" "The third bridge has melted off!" "Bombs are falling on us." "Start rear engines!" "Yamato was caught in a trap." "The acid rain and wind that eats through any material." "Her only escape route was blocked by bombers." "Is Yamato destined to be dissolved in the acid sea?" "Third group ready to launch depth charges." "Seventh group ready to fire next." "Yamato has suffered 2 hits." "She's moving straight ahead!" "Sixth group standby to attack." "Hit her on the port side." "Sixth group has fired batteries." "More!" "We're fighting for our planet!" "Give her everything we've got!" "Turn Yamato into a blazing wreck!" "Thus, Gamilus created a man-made storm by manipulating the atmospheric pressure." "Good." "Increase the intensity of the waves!" "Reduce Yamato to slime!" "Lord, the battle is turning in our favor." "How about a drink, Sir?" "Deputy, I am fighting a battle!" "Don't interrupt me with drinks at the height of my pleasure!" "Kodai, Sir." "Come in." "How's the battle?" "Seems as if we're struggling." "Captain, I need your help." "I don't know what to do." "I have one suggestion." "Go into the ocean." "Into the acid sea?" "Yes." "But Yamato will melt!" "It'll take more than a mere 5 or 10 minutes." "Before she melts, find an ore vein, and shoot it." "An "ore vein"?" "At one time, this must have been a beautiful ocean." "If that's the case there must be underwater volcanoes causing this acid." "Hit one with the Wave Motion Gun to cause a chain reaction of all the surface volcanoes, then mount our counterattack." "I understand." "We'll give it a try." "Don't forget, before we melt!" "Aye, aye, Sir." "Analyzer, locate the volcanic lava vein." "As soon as we find it, we'll fire the Wave Motion Gun." "Let's go!" "All hands prepare to dive." "All hands prepare to dive!" "Engine ready!" "Port side damage fixed!" "Start the dive!" "Yamato's gone underwater!" "So, they've decided to commit suicide!" "Cease bombing." "I want to see what they do." "Course to 10 o'clock." "Course set to 10 o'clock." "Have you found it yet?" "We're running out of time!" "To 2 o'clock." "To 4 o'clock." "Steady, at 4 o'clock." "Hurry, Analyzer!" "There it is!" "Shima, stop!" "Stopping her." "The lava vein extends from 12 to 6 o'clock." "At a depth of 16 km." "Wave Motion Gun ready to fire!" "Target 25 degrees southeast to 50 degrees northwest." "Range at 12.000." "5 minutes to meltdown!" "Energy at 95%!" "Energy at 100%!" "Prepare for shock wave!" "Energy at 120%!" "Target correction, southeast 1205." "Fire!" "Damn Yamato!" "That Yamato did it!" "He's gone crazy." "That Yamato!" "Yamato has surfaced!" "Shall we resume bombing?" "Yes!" "Wait, use the missiles." "Fire all the sky based missiles at her!" "Yamato is 2.5 km below the third sector." "Third sector ready to fire." "Fourth sector ready to fire!" "Fifth sector standing by." "Yamato heading this way!" "Sixth sector ready to fire!" "Lord." "I beg you to stop." "What?" "Don't you realize what's happened?" "Even the Great Gamilus was capable of defeat." "To continue is to invite annihilation of Gamilus." "Please stop, make peace with Yamato." "We can live in peace with Earth..." "Lord!" "Missiles approaching!" "They're big!" "Fire all guns!" "Counterattack!" "Third cannon destroyed!" "Shima, full speed ahead!" "Head for their control center." "Go!" "There was no trace of life." "All had been reduced to smoking ruins." "There was only silence." "Nothing moved." "Then Kodai realized that a world had died." "What have we done?" "How can I face God now...?" "Since we were children, we were taught to fight to win." "We've always been taught that winning is everything." "But wherever there is a winner, there is also a loser." "What happens to those who are defeated?" "Don't those who are defeated also have the right to life?" "I've never thought of that until this day." "It makes me sad and angry." "The people of Gamilus wanted to take over Earth." "Their planet was destined to die...." "Like us, they only wanted to live." "We all just wanted to live." "But we fought them!" "We were wrong to have fought them!" "We should have shown them that we cared!" "Victory... tastes like ashes!" "Yuki, let's go to Iscandar." "There's nothing else we can do." "Crew of Yamato." "This is Captain Okita." "We have finally arrived at Iscandar." "That which you see is Iscandar." "The reason I speak to you now, is to extend my heartfelt appreciation." "...This is Stasha of Iscandar." "This is Stasha of Iscandar." "Welcome, Yamato." "I invite you to land in the Mothertown." "I shall guide you in." "Pilot, please follow my instructions." "The surface barometric reading is 980 millibars..." "That's Stasha!" "She resembles Yuki!" "Welcome to Iscandar." "I am Stasha." "I'm Kodai, and this is..." "Sasha!" "Why didn't you let me know you were aboard Yamato?" "No, I am..." "Was Sasha the one who died on Mars...?" "What?" "Sasha died?" "Then who are you?" "I'm Yuki, from Earth." "Please tell me what happened to my sister, Sasha." "Gamilus Forces shot her down, and she crash-landed on Mars." "Shima and I went to her rescue but she was dead by the time we got there." "However... ..we got your message about the radiation cleaning device and how to build the Wave Motion Engine." "She risked her life to deliver my message to you." "She saved Earth." "You are the ones to save Earth." "I'm sorry, but bringing you here was to test your courage." "Once's fate and happiness lies in one's own hands." "So this is the Radiation Cleaning Device?" "It wasn't a completed device." "But we have all the parts, and the design." "I'll assemble it before we return to Earth." "Good." "It would be best to do it here." "I could have their engineers check it." "But we don't have the time." "We're already 2 months behind schedule." "We estimated 9 months round trip, but it'll stretch to 11." "That's terrible!" "If something goes wrong, we may not make it in time." "They may all be dead when we get there." "Don't say that!" "It could happen." "We must do our best." "It's all we can do." "Thank you for attending the funeral." "Sasha is now laid to rest on Iscandar." "Will you come with me?" "I want you to meet someone." "You mean there are others here?" "Yes, someone from Earth." "From Earth?" "Please take him back with you." "Susumu!" "Brother!" "Susumu!" "You're alive!" "Brother!" "Stasha." "I'm sorry for not knocking." "It's all right." "Gamilus took him as hostage, for experimental purposes." "But the rocket broke down and floated near Iscandar." "I was able to rescue him." "He was ill and seriously injured." "I'm glad he can go back home now." "Stasha..." "You're in love with him, aren't you?" "Stasha, won't you return with us to Earth?" "Thank you, but..." "I can't leave Iscandar." "I understand." "Please take care." "Stasha!" "Do you really want us to take Mamoru with us?" "Accepting fate never brings love." "Remember, you told us that fate and happiness lie in one's own hands." "Farewell, Stasha!" "Mamoru..." "I love you, Mamoru!" "Stasha!" "Brother!" "Forgive me." "Take care of yourselves!" "Good luck, Susumu!" "Goodbye!" "They'll be the Adam and Eve of Iscandar." "Come on, Yuki, let's go home." "We're returning to Earth!" "Yamato set her course for Earth." "With 148.000 light years to go, and being behind schedule warp was their only means of making it back in time." "In the meantime, Sanada completes the device so Earth can use it as soon as they return." "The Milky Way..." "We're back!" "Yes." "Communication with Earth restored!" "Yamato, this is Earth Headquarters." "Did you get the Radiation Cleaning Device?" "Yamato here." "The device is near completion." "Good, we may just make it." "Where's Captain Okita?" "He's suffering from space radiation sickness." "Yuki..." "Yes?" "When a man dies..." "What?" "Don't talk like that!" "No, I would like to believe that the spirit lives on." "Captain, we've contacted Earth." "Is that right?" "The signal soon faded..." "But they were so happy, they were in tears." "You've done well, Kodai." "You've matured quite a bit." "I still have a lot to learn." "Right, Yuki?" "Well..." "This is our last warp." "Assume warp stations." "Excuse us, Sir." "Look after each other." "I wanted to attend your wedding, but..." "Captain!" "I won't die until I see Earth." "Now, go on." "As soon as Yamato entered the galaxy they began testing the Radiation Cleaning Device." "Switch on!" "It worked!" "It's Earth!" "Earth!" "It's Earth!" "There it is!" "Let's go!" "Come on, let's go look." "Yeah!" "Let's take a look!" "The one waving the red scarf" "Who is she waving to?" "Does it really matter?" "She's waving to us all" "In the hearts of all voyagers" "There is desire for love" "Wave the red scarf" "Dr. Sado." "Would you let me be alone for a while?" "Dr. Sado." "Thank you." "Earth..." "You bring back so many fond memories!" "Farewell to Earth" "The journey begins for Space Battleship Yamato" "To the distant planet, Iscandar" "Carrying the hopes of all mankind" "The crew responds to those who wave them farewell" "That they will surely return" "Leaving this galaxy and bound for Iscandar" "The Space Battleship Yamato faces the challenge" "In 2200 A.D., on Sept. 5, Yamato returned to Earth." "47 men were killed in action, 67 returned." "And Earth was once again restored to her former beauty."
