Synopsis
Continues the story of Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2202
Three years after the Space Battleship Yamato's legendary return to Earth, the planet is rebuilding and has established peace with the Gamilans. This recovery depends heavily on the formerly forbidden Wave Motion technology. Meanwhile, the Yamato's former crew members, now leading separate lives, each receive a psychic summons from the enigmatic Goddess Teresa. She calls them to reassemble aboard the Yamato and journey to the distant planet Terezart, where a potent new force capable of countering the approaching menace of the ruthless Gatlantis Empire awaits. The Gatlantis Empire advances toward Earth with far from benevolent intentions. Unable to ignore Teresa's call, the crew reunites and embarks on a hazardous voyage through space, confronting trials that push their courage and resourcefulness against an even more daunting enemy than ever before.
In this installment
In Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2205, the Gamilan race faces an existential crisis as their homeworld deteriorates. To rescue his people and secure a new world, Aberdt Desler pretends loyalty to the oppressive government of Galman—a planet populated by a nearly identical species. His real objective is to take control and speed up the migration. Yet, as the Gamilans start their voyage, an enigmatic and powerful enemy attacks, causing their sister planet Iscandar—where Queen Starsha resides—to become warped. Back on Earth, the Space Battleship Yamato and its crew are celebrating their most recent triumph. New members board the Yamato, accompanied by two extra support vessels commanded by Yuki Mori and Shirou Sanada. Despite objections from some who oppose Captain Susumu Kodai's earlier choices, the Yamato sets out on a half-year training voyage and opens diplomatic talks with the Gamilans. When news of the disaster on Iscandar reaches them, Kodai disobeys orders and takes his fleet to help those in need.
