Yamato 2. 19. 9 Episode 1. Commentaryby Luis Cotovio and Daniel George(Japanese Name: .
Two weeks have passed since the beginning of events chronicled in Episode 9, but there were no real hints as to how much time transpired in that episode. This is the first episode where the opening credits use the “full” version of the Uchuu Senkan Yamato theme, with the opening fanfare long- time fans grew up with on Star Blazers. This is also the sole episode where we hear this original series combination of opening and closing themes, as it marks the last episode of Chapter/Volume Three, and thus the last time we hear Isao Sasaki’s performance of The Scarlet Scarf in the series. The episode opens with a view of Planet Balun, a gaseous planet where Garmillas are shown to have a major base on a continent that appears to be floating in mid- air. The original planet was a dark, rocky place with a base in its surface and an artificial sun, presumably created and controlled by the Garmilas, orbiting it and serving as a light source for the rogue planet. At first glance it looks like a simple aesthetic upgrade from the original, but a closer look immediately shows a major difference even before subsequent shots confirm it. Balun is now a gaseous planet. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199, UchÅ« Senkan Yamato Ni-ichi-kyÅ«-kyÅ«?) is a 2012 Japanese military science fiction anime television series.

Analyzing the initial frame and the subsequent production materials, we realize the planet is made up of two separate gas hemispheres swirling around a luminous core, which was initially believed to be the artificial sun, and surrounded by two relatively thin rings. The base itself seems to be suspended in midair among Balun’s restless clouds, like the floating continent at Jupiter. A closer look reveals two things which, for now at least, will remain unexplained. First, the design of the base seems somewhat different from standard Garmillas design, leading to the belief that it is some kind of repurposed alien structure. This will play a major role and is one of the big changes of direction in 2. The second is the existence of some sort of “cable system” – for lack of a better term – coming from below the base and then from the base upwards. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (TV). What are they and where do they lead to and from? For now, the mystery persists. One thing is for sure, Balun is quite an interesting place. We see Goer in a holo- call with his immediate superior, Herm Zoellick. Goer is alarmed that he faces dismissal from his position as Milky Way theater commander. Zoellick tells him he has brought shame upon Dessler’s plan by failing to deal with Yamato, and that since he recommended Goer for the position, Zoellick’s own standing is jeopardized. Goer assures Zoellick that he can deal with one or two Terron ships, to which Zoellick reminds him that failure is not a word in the Garmillas dictionary, cutting off further discussion by saying he awaits good news. This is the first time we see the actual guy “in the flesh.” Fortunately, he continues to be the most expressive character ever. Funny how this scene has Goer taste a bit of his own medicine. A few episodes ago it was his towering hologram who did the chastising, in that instance to Shulz. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Episode 10Now he’s the one in the hot seat with Zoellick towering over him. I do not envy the guy. Goer’s aide raises an issue about a ship they lost contact with several days ago, and Goer abruptly says that only Yamato matters to them at the moment, ignoring the aide’s point that a member of the Imperial Guard is aboard the missing ship. The aide brings up a map identifying the general area Yamato could be in. Goer’s fleet is seen departing Balun. It’s also the first time we see a Gaiderol- class dreadnaught besides Shultz’ Le Chevalier. In the original it was a standalone ship but now it is just one in a whole class of ships. This one, commanded by Goer, is called Goergamesh (though the name isn’t mentioned until Episode 1. The name is an obvious play on the names Goer and Gilgamesh. Given the timeframe over which this episode occurs, it foreshadows an as- yet- unseen shortcut to get quickly from Balun to the Milky Way. On Yamato, the pilots are all assembled in the squadron recreational area, with Akira Yamamoto regarding her pendant. We see a flashback to the day her brother Akio deployed with the UNCF, where she gave it to him. He’s been mentioned often and seen in some photos. Pity the poor guy didn’t live long enough to make many appearances. The manga used him a bit more with Akio showing Akira a prototype Cosmo Zero and a few other scenes. On that subject, many fans believed Akio was the actual Yamamoto, which in 2. But try as you might to avoid Yamamoto’s gender- bending, it is a fact. Though Akio was designed to incorporate some aesthetic elements of the original Yamamoto, Akira is the real deal. Just the name alone should put that to rest, but if it doesn’t, check this interview with character designer Nobuteru Yuuki. In it, Yuuki reveals that Shinohara was supposed to be Yamamoto but ended up becoming who he is today when Yutaka Izubuchi decided to make Yamamoto a female pilot. The initial designs for Akira were based on those of another female pilot, Miharu Sasaki, that Yuuki was working on at the time for Yamato Resurrection. After several stages of refinement we ended up with two great pilots and awesome characters. And a dead brother. Warp preparations are announced over the PA, where Sawamura and Shinohara discuss how they’ve become accustomed to warping now, a far cry from the first warp where space sickness struck many of the crew. Misaki is walking in the vicinity of the automatic navigation room, which she regards for a moment. Her mannerism when she sees the automatic navigation room suggests that she had no idea where she was and was somewhat surprised to see it, which supports the hypothesis that Yurisha had some influence on her up to that point. Meanwhile, Shima runs through the checklists for the warp, reading through current position and planned distance to be covered. Ohta confirms his readings. Meanwhile Tokugawa confirms all is well from the engine room. This episode and the ones following are fine examples of how they took elements from the original and rearrange them into a new narrative. The core of this episode comes from the original Episode 1. Yamato wanders into a “Galactic Whirlpool” and a graveyard of lost, wrecked spaceships, apparently trapped in another dimension. It featured perhaps the biggest Deus Ex Machina situation in the series as Starsha intervenes and manipulates the dimensional compass to show them the way out. They escape the attacking fleet, led by Domel. The Playstation game adaptation of the Iscandar saga had already altered the plot to something closer to what we see here, but there the Garmillas ship was already a derelict and the player needed to search it for the data necessary to find the way out. In 2. 19. 9 there is an Iscandarian tampering with the compass, but they must find their own way out. Also, at this point Domel has yet to take command (or to appear) so Goer is still in charge of the Balun base. Those elements will be featured in coming episodes. The other original episode woven into this one is Episode 1. Garmillan pilot and the revelation (to Yamato’s crew) of what the enemy really looked like. That episode is famous for having Kodai trying to stab the enemy pilot to avenge his family, and for the flashback showing us his family’s death. Here, most of the original Kodai’s angst is transferred to Akira. It’s hard to surpass the Deflection Shield in Episode 2. Deus Ex Machina of the original series. Starsha just meddled with the navigation systems. Somehow, Sanada could somehow deflect a Wave- Motion Gun beam with a shield that he “just finished” without even announcing that he was working on it? Sanada’s is the bigger deus ex machina by a teraparsec. This time however, everyone is still conscious and knows something’s wrong. Okita orders a situation report, to which Ohta confirms they are in warp. Sanada surmises that they are inhabiting the one nanosecond of the ship’s warp. The astro compass is spinning around without any reason. Don’t do drugs, kids. Okita thinks it might be the automatic navigation room and Sanada, appearing to read Okita’s mind, instructs Yuki to investigate it. Sanada announces over the PA that they are still currently in warp but they are investigating anomalies. In the Pilots’ recreation room Kato tells the others that it’s their own uncertainty causing the blurry vision. Meanwhile, Misaki is looking at her hands, asking what’s happened to her. Suddenly, a bright light comes out of the apparently now- open door to the automatic navigation room, and we see the image of a naked blond woman, who is only shown from the nose to the shoulders. She says something unheard to Misaki before cupping her face with her hands. Misaki promptly faints. The main giveaway is that the warp haze is gone during the whole scene, returning in the next shot as we see Misaki fall to the ground. The haze is still clearly visible when the hatch is open, and visible all around her as she looks at her hands. It’s still visible when we cross to the three- quarter view but it’s being overawed by the bright light coming from the auto navigation room. The corridor is dark like much of the rest of the ship because it’s in Warp Mode, but if Yurisha has woken up the brightness could simply be a light inside the navigation room that’s brighter than the corridor. Also, we get another first “in the flesh” (pun intended) shot of a character, even if it is in a vision and only in a limited capacity. But this is basically where the whole “Yuki is Yurisha” plot truly begins to unravel, as more and more of the mysterious Iscandarian and her possible fate begin to be revealed. But don’t fret, they don’t give everything away just yet.? When Yurisha is expelled by Misaki in Episode 2. To me it’s inconclusive one way or the other whether Yurisha was physically there or not. Though I grant the disappearing haze was indeed a fail on my part.
