             The great universe extends to infinity. . .  in the sparkle
             of these innumerable stars-upon-stars, it is filled with
             diverse lifeforms.  The universal peace is disturbed only by
             the breath of these lives.  Earth has ended every last one
             of the battles that it originated.  And both Gammilas, that
             great planet-empire, and the riddle of the battle with the
             Dark Star Goruba. . .  the Yamato's activity with all that
             is over.  Earth seems to be getting back to its peaceful
             routine.  And now, the year is 2202 AD. . .

             The whole of Earth's defenses are making this top priority.

             All life on Mars base has probably been annihilated!

             What's that?

                                      KODAI

             Just before we arrived at Mars base, we observed a UFO like
             a ball of light leaving Mars' vicinity.  I think perhaps its
             attack annihilated them.

                                     MAMORU

             And the damage to the buildings?

             not damaged.

             Captain Okita. . .  Yet again, Earth is in this kind of
             plight. . .  From here, you and I may see the destruction of
             Earth, and think. . .  Captain. . .  Soon. . .  it's the end
             of anything and everything.

                                    DR. SADO

             He---y!  That's not Aihara?!  Say-- still alive, Aihara. .
             .?  So, to Captain Okita. . .  Ota. . .  and Nanbu have also
             come?!

                                    ANALYZER

             It's Yuki and Kodai!

                                      KODAI

             He---y!  Dr. Sado---!

                                    DR. SADO

             Kodai!  Yuki!  Both of you are safe?!

                                      YUKI

             Dr. Sado -- is everyone else okay?!

                                      KODAI

             Oh!  Good thing you're here, Aihara.  Establish contact with
             Sanada-san on Icarus, immediately!

                                     AIHARA

             Yes, sir!

                                    TOKUGAWA

             Kodai-San, it's Shima!

                                      KODAI

             Shima!  Tokugawa!

                                      SHIMA

             Kodai!  I thought I'd find you if I came here.

                                    DR. SADO

             Welcome, everyone!  Captain Okita!  We are indeed your chil-
             dren.

        Yamato                                               Forever


             Kodai-san: do you think we'll end up being conquered after
             all?

                                     AIHARA

             I've contacted Sanada-san.

                                      KODAI

             Sanada-san -- it's Kodai.

                                     SANADA

             It's been a while, hasn't it, Kodai!

                                      KODAI

             How's the present situation there . . .?

                                     SANADA

             There's not much damage.  Also, probably, the enemy doesn't
             think much of the asteroid.  We, too, have picked up the
             enemy UFO.  Still, their interference barrier is working, so
             we couldn't communicate with Earth.

                                      KODAI

             Sanada-san: don't they know about the Yamato!?  Where is it.
             . .

                                      SHIMA

             We are nearly all here.

                                     SANADA

             Really!?  I've been waiting for that, too.

                                      KODAI

             Eh!  You've been waiting!?

                                     SANADA

             It's here!  The Yamato is here!

                                      KODAI

             Eh?  The Yamato!

                                     SANADA

             That's right, it's here.  I've been managing the Yamato

             Hey, Aihara. . .  what's the matter!!  What is it -- it's
             not the best reception point?

                                     AIHARA

             No, it's no use -- the interference barrier!

                                      VOICE

             But -- the signal's clearly gone from here.

                                     AIHARA

             Let's go -- to join Sanada-san.

                                      KODAI

             That's right -- we'll go to Icarus, where the Yamato is.

                                    TOKUGAWA

             But, Kodai, we'll have to go beyond Mars. . .

                                      YUKI

             Leave it to me to get us there!  At the command center
             there's a secret underground terminal.  If we use the small,
             high-speed craft in the President's emergency refuge, we can
             leave immediately.

                                    EVERYONE

             Great -- Let's go there!!

             Nope, no good.  The overhead dome won't open.  We can't take
             off like this!!

             Today, I declare that we and our fleet have completely occu-
             pied the entire Earth's force.  I say, that if there be any
             resistance to us. . .  We will cause the immediate explosion
             of this double-nucleus bomb within the circumference of this
             metropolis.

             Gentlemen!  Look well.  We studied the essence of your
             mother planet's culture to make this bomb!  That bomb, with
             one blast, will influence you in accordance with the nature
             of Earth.  In the space of a moment, it will destroy the
             brain cells of the entire human race.  Your extinction will
             result!  If you don't want to face that horror, obey our
             orders.  I will give you the first order now.  Tell us
             clearly the whereabouts of the Space Cruiser Yamato!

             just one ship!  That's right -- you act as if you're afraid.
             The Yamato is the hope of Earth!  That's why we still

             were worried.

             Together Yamazaki and I were finishing our last check of the

             And I thought for sure that all of you would appear here.

             Mm-hm.  The Commander left any unforeseen matters to my
             care.  Oh, that's right.  Regarding the voyage, find out if
             all the Space Fighter Training School students are here.
             They and I have made the arrangements.  Now, who do you sup-
             pose he looks like?

             finished my Cosmo Tiger training.

             I suppose Kodai and some of you others have seen it already.
             It's the enemy's double nucleus bomb!  And these aliens have
             declared that, with this one bomb, they can cause the

             extinction of the entire human race.  Sanada-kun!  What do
             you make of it?

                                     SANADA

             Commander, this is a Hyperion bomb, and no mistake.  It will
             explode and destroy the central mass of the Earth's surface.
             It can destroy everyone's brain cells within one moment.

                                    COMMANDER

             Sanada-kun: as regards that bomb, please investigate the
             nature and location of its detonator we don't know.

                                     SANADA

             Considering its function, the detonation control device is
             not on Earth, but on the enemy's mother planet itself.

                                      KODAI

             If that's so, then we can't just annihilate the enemy on
             Earth?

                                     SANADA

             That's right.  So our way cannot be to attack this Earth
             occupation force.

                                      SHIMA

             To attack them, won't going to the enemy's mother planet
             help Earth?

             And can't we go before the detonation of that. . .  Hyperion
             bomb?

                                    NARRATION

             At the edge of the Solar System, Yamato has said its
             farewell, and now approaches the first point of appearance
             of the enemy's black fleet.  The boundary of unknown space
             is 40,000 light years distant.  Facing the Black Nebula,
             they began the long journey.  But, if they don't reach the
             enemy's mother planet before the detonation of the double
             nucleus bomb. . .!!

                                     SANADA

             Again, many of the Yamato's weapons were improved, also.

        Main gun firing room ''Whole Universe'' radar room

                                     SANADA

             And there's been a change in the main gun's energy car-
             tridge: every scope will analyze and fire simultaneously.
             The Whole Universe radar room has been re-equipped, too.
             And inside, the Yamato's Wave Motion engine can power up
             again very widely.  Because of the newly-opened super-
             charger, successive warps are made possible.

                                     SANADA

             The Yamato will immediately carry out a test of the succes-
             sive warp system.  Conclude warp preparations!

             That amazing speed took its toll, after all?

             The warp capacity is so much superior, that what does it
             matter?

             If you were to embrace love with both arms,
             Do you think you'll let go of that hand?
             We met again as joyful as we could be,
             The eternal glitter of the twinkling stars. . .
             In time, we'll be parted, we'll understand love
             In time, eyes closed, love will be seen
             Love will be seen.
             We'll meet again, won't we? At the end of a moonless night.
             . .
             I will wait for you
             And the wind will leave the sky, like the light. . .

             At about that time, the stray enemy reconnaissance ship
             spotted the enemy great central base behind the Black
             Nebula.

        Black fleet front-line central base

                                    NARRATION

             Together, Kodai and Kato went out and returned to annihilate
             the enemy base.

                                      KODAI

             Kato!  This is your first taste of battle -- so hang on!

                                      KATO

             Oh?  Watch this!!

                                      KATO

             Got it --

                                      KODAI

             All planes, turn back!  Toward the upper part!!  Only, the
             mouth of the invasion is not THERE. . .  We'll break into
             the dome.  All planes follow!

                                      SHIMA

             Look!  The base has moved.

                                      KODAI

             The body of that base is a huge space mothership?!  All
             planes: past the enemy central base, get in formation!

                                      KATO

        Yamato                                               Forever


             Warp!!

                                     VOICES

             Ohhhh-- It's an amazing nebula.

                                     SANADA

             The diameter of this nebula is about 10,000 light years!  It
             is a galaxy of entirely unknown radiation.  Until now, its
             existence was not observed from Earth.  And, regarding its
             10,000 light year diameter, it equals that of our own Milky
             Way, doesn't it?  Hm!  Still, the central portion is filled
             With gaseous matter.  Accordingly, that is why what exists
             on the other side of that nebula is an eternal riddle.

                                      SHIMA

             To break through the galaxy will be accompanied by consider-
             able danger. . .  Captain: with the continuous warp, we can
             detour around it.

                                 CAPT. YAMANAMI

             Hm-- Sanada-kun, kindly continue!

                                     SANADA

             That is impossible.  And to make a detour around a nebula
             with a 10,000 light year diameter, it's absurd.  Arrival at
             the enemy's mother planet before the explosion of the double
             nucleus bomb would be difficult.

                                     SANADA

             Besides, the speed of revolution of this nebula. . .  If we
             go around the circumference, we'd need very high speed.  At
             that speed, we'll be pulled in, in the middle of the warp.
             I don't know but that we might end up being sucked into the
             center of a whirlpool.  That way is strictly dangerous!  And
             to do it. . .  The rotation of the center portion, by com-
             parison, is good -- slow and mild.  Besides, somewhere in
             this center portion must be a passage to continue through to
             the other side!

             The gaseous matter is becoming dense and thick.  It's become
             as dense as water!  It's an effect!  Nevertheless, we can
             still see 7 space kilometers ahead of us.  We can navigate
             by sight from here.

                                     SANADA

             No.  This kind of result is not likely.  But still, it had a
             peculiar power to it.  Accidentally, something of the
             enemy's might have melted down with the Wave Motion energy,
             I don't know!!

                                      KODAI

             It can't be the heat power of the Wave Motion energy by
             itself!?

                                     SANADA

             That Wave Motion cartridge bomb was only supposed to have 1%
             of the Wave Motion gun's energy. . .

             There, turning over and over, the passage flooded with
             light, they arrived at the mysterious universe, at the end
             of their 40,000 light years journey.  Spread before the eyes
             of the crew of the Yamato, the world was now there.  The
             human race, in its childhood, could not possibly imagine the
             far-off, limitless universe that, only yonder, was spread
             before them. . .  The Yamato will progress into the unknown,
             infinite universe, swirled behind those aliens' Black
             Nebula.  Certainly, that was the Double Gravity Galaxy.  The
             Black Nebula is woven with the Black Galaxy; and, filled
             with the sparkle of particles of light, the White Galaxy is
             piled on top of it.  Vividly, the mystery and surprise of
             the Genesis of the Universe can be seen.

             a poor welcome.  Be at ease!!

                                      SHIMA

             So -- then, you say you're not our enemy?

                                      KODAI

             And if you should be, why are you doing this?

                                    SCALDART

             You appreciated our music at once, didn't you?

                                      SHIMA

             Your music!!

                                    SCALDART

             Just so; it is the classical art of a former century of this
             planet.

                                      KODAI

             This here isn't Earth after all?  And if it is, what era. .
             .?

                                    SCALDART

             I think it is natural that all of you are in doubt.

                                      KODAI

             This isn't Earth 200 years after the Golbans, in the
             future?!!  Earth!!  200 years in the future?!

                                    SCALDART

             That's right. . .  the Earth of 200 years later has come to
             an end right here in the Black Nebula!!

             No wonder we thought the city's ruins had changed.

                                     AIHARA

             Earth after all?!!

                                      SHIMA

             Kodai -- what do you think!!

                                    TOKUGAWA

             Kodai-san. . . can this really be Earth 200 years later??

                                    SCALDART

             You understand, don't you, Gentlemen?  I dare say, eventu-
             ally, you'll be at ease.  Well then, let's inspect your his-
             tory.

                                      SALDA

             Please!!

                                    NARRATION

             There, imaged, were the beginning and end of Gammilas and
             its battle.  The Yamato's successive battles were recorded.
             Then. . .

        AD 2402 -- The Return of the Yamato

                                      NANBU

             That -- That's the death of the Yamato?!!

                                     AIHARA

             The Yamato won't return to Earth?!!

                                    TOKUGAWA

             That -- That's absurd!!

                                      SHIMA

             I want you to stop that random history!!

                                    SCALDART

             This is the truth of the Yamato.  It will not return to
             Earth in 2202.  All of you are unique; what a way to prolong
             life!  Surrendering like this, you will permanently reside
             on this planet!



        Version 2.0                - 40 -                   05/31/88





        Yamato                                               Forever


                                      KODAI

             Then I will ask you something!  If this planet is the future
             of Earth, then for what reason was the double nucleus bomb
             detonated!  With that one explosion, I suppose the human
             race was annihilated.  If you had thus erased your own past
             events, then now, all of you would also be extinct!!

                                    SCALDART

             In accordance with that, is the reason we did not erase ALL
             our own ancestors.  You don't understand that.  One part of
             the menace facing mankind did not pass away!!

                                 CAPT. YAMANAMI

             Menace??

                                    SCALDART

             But, the history of the Yamato will end with this voyage!!
             I don't say a bad thing; remaining on this planet, per-
             manently to reside, is simply the path you chose before!!

                                      KODAI

             No -- we return to the Yamato!!  You didn't come to use that
             double nucleus bomb, and moreover you knew that we needn't
             come to a halt here.  We will expel that advance guard
             fleet, and we will see the Earth returned to its original
             peace!!

                                    SCALDART

             Foolish man -- that history is authenticated.  How far from
             the line of fate can you free yourself?  You can't!!

                                      KODAI

             No -- our line of destiny is in our hands -- and we can see
             to cut our way through!!

                                    SCALDART

             Ha, ha. . .  You've gone too far.  And you would reject his-
             tory, would you?  We shall SEE what you can do, shall we
             not?  Yamato warriors. . .  ha, ha!

                                      KODAI

             Shit.

             behind!

                                      SASHA

             No, it's true!!

             What do you mean!!

                                      SASHA

             My body is half alien. . .  If this is Earth 200 years in
             the future, it is good that I should reside here. . .

                                      KODAI

             Tell me the truth: you're hiding something, aren't you?

                                      SASHA

             If we return to Earth together. . .  For me, if we return to
             Earth together. . .  there is Yuki-san for you. . .

             secret of the double nucleus bomb.  To transmit it to your

             That person was killed.

             I'll let you rejoin your comrades.  Then, you will come and

             Hey -- you can't leave your post whenever you please!

                                    TOKUGAWA

             The Thinker is weird.

                                    YAMAZAKI

             The Thinker?  What's that!?

                                    TOKUGAWA

             The Thinker, by Rodin, was in the palace lobby. . .  Only,
             he was posed with his left hand under his chin.  The real
             one is like this.  He holds the pose with his right hand.

                                     SANADA

             Listen, everybody!!  Those fellows' planet was not our
             future.  The hand showed us that they've completely tricked
             us.

                                      SHIMA

             A trick!?

                                     SANADA

             This is the same glass that Aihara took from that planet's
             palace.  There are no fingerprints on it!!

             The woman who guided us was carrying it when she came in!!

                                      KODAI

             If it's true, about the fingerprints. . .  Then those ras-
             cals aren't our descendants -- they aren't human!

             Also, what Tokugawa said about the sculpture -- and those
             paintings, too -- they were all counterfeit!!

             That's right!!  It was to trick us into surrendering.

             Good!  Then we can return to Earth.

             have cared if the human race were destroyed one more time.

             there's blood flowing there, non?  I'm a cyborg.

             Our planet had too much machine-civilization, too much pro-
             gress.  We became like everyone was only brain, we became
             like machines.  Still, although living things, we were
             degenerating. . .  but still higher lifeforms than humans.
             Our life-reaction strength was weaker than you humans'.

                                      YUKI

             Therefore, you came to Earth.

             That's right.  For on Earth, it is still swarming with very
             young life-reaction.  We came to Earth.  We wanted the Earth
             peoples' healthy flesh.  We wanted to feel the wide Earth
             under our feet again.

             I didn't forget my promise. . .  Yuki. . .  This double
             nucleus bomb, it is useless just to disconnect its detona-
             tion installation. . .

                                      ALFON

             And destroying the thing's control installation also will
             cause the detonation installation automatically to stop
             working.  Consequently, if you don't, first of all, destroy
             the detonation installation here, with the proper disconnec-
             tion, then afterwards the mother planet's control installa-
             tion will cause the double gravity structure to commence. .
             .  These are the plans for the disconnection.

             That's right.  It's the only way to defeat this sphere.  The
             energy under the city will become a supernova in less than
             900 space seconds.  In that interval, the Yamato must escape
             from the northern pipe.

             I will wait 5 minutes for you to surrender to me. . .

             If he pushes that button, the human race will be destroyed?
             More than that, we're tied hand and foot. . .!!  Captain!!
             What should we do. . .?

        Just then, on Earth. . .

                                     SANADA

             Ah -- that's not Yuki?!!

             Captain Yamanami!  I have a message from Earth Defense Com-
             mander.

                                 CAPT. YAMANAMI

             Hm!!

                                      YUKI

             To begin, then: Earth's sympathizers have come creeping in
             from underground, and resistance soldiers are organized and
             have come fighting.  By degrees, we succeeded in occupying
             the double nucleus bomb.

                                 CAPT. YAMANAMI

             Therefore, at present the Earth detonation installation. .
             .?

                                      YUKI

             Has been disconnected.

             Hm!!

                                      YUKI

             I'll fire it; move aside, Kodai!!

             Kodai -- you're a good fellow.  Even though I'm not con-
             nected by blood, Sasha is Mio Sanada!!  Although it was for
             only one short year, I raised her as her parent. . .  so, as

             The double nucleus bomb may go off on Earth right now.  And,
             although I am not shot yet, you don't understand the danger.
             I will do this thing, understood?  I am being useful to you.
             I am glad to die and be buried here.

             The double gravity galaxy is collapsing.  A new galaxy is
             coming to life. . .  The human race is always lucky when it
             sheds blood, isn't it?  And we didn't save Sasha, either.
             She stayed behind; our hand only is smeared with blood!!

                                      SASHA

             No. . .  the person you are tortured by is not in this
             world.  Right now, you think it is your fault.  You feel
             terror about the shedding of blood.  By thinking those
             thoughts, they double in magnitude.  Now, it is no use to do
             so.  Surely sometime, you'll come to value life again, and
             will make up for the human race, I suppose. . .  Please
             don't worry about me.  Better that I should thank you.  For
             although my youth was short, it was extraordinarily lucky.
             You taught me how lucky, Susumu. . .  You. . .  Father --
             for becoming a temporary parent, and raising me. . .
             Really: I thank you so much.  I think that the Earth is the
             most beautiful planet in this Universe.  The people, believ-
             ing, that are alive because of it.  That very great beauty,
             then, please uphold it forever.  For that, I was of course
             doing my duty; I was happy with doing this thing.  From
             this, I give you my heart; Father: to Mother's place I
             return!  Farewell, everyone on the Yamato.  Farewell, Susumu
             Kodai.  My excellent young Uncle. . .

                                      KODAI

             Sasha -- go, return to your mother's place. . .

                                   SONG LYRICS

             Supposing that, 100 years from now,
             We looked just like children.
             And we won't forget the time of smiling and song.
             Although I don't know if everyone will be loved,
             At that time, the Earth, dripping with green, gentle
             sunshine will make the flowers bloom.
             Until that day, until that day, until that day. . .
             Love! will not wither, will not be harmed.
             Do you love someone?
             Is that person near?
             (Last two lines repeated)
