Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage
Uchuu Senkan Yamato: Aratanaru Tabidachi
宇宙戦艦ヤマト 新たなる旅立ち
Synopsis
Continues the story of Star Blazers: The Comet Empire
One year after the Star Force's successful return to save Earth, a new menace emerges from deep space. A massive White Comet speeds toward the galaxy, annihilating everything in its path. This comet is no ordinary celestial object—it is the sinister Comet Empire, a merciless conqueror of planets, and Earth is its next target. Despite being ordered not to, the Star Force launches an investigation. However, even if they defeat the powerful flagship Andromeda, they remain unsure of their new enemy's true motives.
In this installment
In 2201, the Space Battleship Yamato returns from its fierce clash with Emperor Zordar and the Comet Empire. Sanada, Aihara, and Shima, now discharged from the hospital, visit Okita's memorial to honor their fallen comrades. There they encounter Tasuke, the son of Tokugawa, who reveals his ambition to join the Yamato crew once he finishes his cadet training. At his graduation ceremony, Tasuke accidentally overturns a boat full of new cadets, as they were all captivated by the Yamato instead of concentrating on their own navigation. Despite initial difficulties during liftoff caused by the inexperienced engine crew inadvertently hitting the wrong switches and triggering a stall, the Yamato sets off on what was originally intended to be a routine training mission.
