Space Battleship Yamato 2
Yamato revives on TV, which is great news for Yamato fans. It will be aired every Saturday (7:00-7:30 p.m.) for 26 episodes starting October 14 on Nippon TV.
Space Battleship Yamato has been enthusiastically supported by young viewers. Yamato fan clubs are being formed one after another across the country, with membership reaching 180,000. Their greatest desire is to see Yamato on TV again. The TV station seems to have decided to broadcast the program in response to such a request.
In the previous series, Yamato fulfilled its purpose of saving the Earth. In Part 2, Yamato once again embarks on a space battle to save the entire universe, which is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis due to the appearance of a giant white comet. Susumu Kodai and other space warriors set out on the decommissioned Yamato, overcoming the opposition of the Earth Defense Command. A story of dreams and adventures unfolds in boundless space as they embark on a journey of courage and love.
The “human drama” of the Yamato crew and others, which could not be depicted in Farewell to Yamato, is developed in more detail on TV. In particular, “forms of love,” including romance with Kodai and Yuki Mori, take center stage. Yamato‘s actions and various mechanisms are developed in a new structure.
After Story of the Shooting
The White Comet, a terrifying invasion empire
The Gatlantis Empire, a gigantic white comet that conquers all the stars in the universe, makes Earth its next target. Gatlantis is an artificial comet, usually hidden in a fireball of high-speed neutrons and high-pressure gas belts. Its huge city shines like a castle at night. It is not only a city, but also a large fortress boasting the latest equipment.
Juzo Okita, captain of Yamato, died in the previous work. A new captain, Ryu Hijikata, has taken his place. On the side of Gatlantis is Emperor Zordar, the female chief of staff Sabera, and Admirals Baruze and Naska. Separate from these villains is a peace-loving goddess named Teresa of the planet Telezart.
A large mecha group full of power
There is a variety of combat mecha groups. The Earth Defense Forces side, including Yamato, will be using the newly-built Space Battleship Andromeda, Cosmo Tigers, new battleships, escort ships, patrol ships, and more.
The White Comet side includes the White Comet, the Naska aircraft carrier, fighters such as the Deathvatator and Eater II, and more.
