We cut back to Earth. EDF Headquarters gets a caption in Version A.
EDF control room: the shot is the same in both Versions except for the upper left quarter of the viewscreen, which is enhanced in B.
EDF Commander Todo reacts to the news of Yamato‘s homecoming. The background is different in Version B and the scene is extended to show Todo turning to his aide.
Version B then adds two more shots, giving us our first appearance of Yuki and her signature wistful line: “Kodai-kun…”
Another new shot from B: re-establishing Yamato in space.
The first look at a Dinguil ship, a massive carrier. It gets a caption in Version A.
Our first shot of an actual enemy, captioned in Version A only.
The massive pullback of City Satellite Uruk that establishes its full grandeur. The rings around Planet Aquarius were eliminated for some reason in Version B.
The same shot a few seconds later. Uruk gets a caption in Version A.
A full establishing shot of Uruk, cropped wider in Version B with different cloud layers.
The Big Cheese Emperor Lugal (that’s a very approximate translation!) gets a caption in Version A.
Uruk’s warp generator powers up. Version B featured it in a wider shot with color enhancements.
Uruk hits Aquarius with warp beams. Again, the planet’s rings were left out of Version B.
