The battle begins. The Yamato looks hopelessly outnumbered. The enemy has five carriers. The Gamilans launch a fleet of fighters which the fighters from the Yamato engage. The Gamilans launch a second wave of fighters while the fighters from the Yamato are busy dealing with the first wave. The Gamilans also send a small team to infiltrate the Yamato, with the mission of abducting Yuki.
Things seem to mostly go in the Gamilans favor at first but eventually the tide starts to shift. The fighters from the Yamato take down a couple of the Gamilan carriers. The Yamato is badly damaged but it improbably continues to fight on and win. The Gamilans score a victory when the last surviving member of the small team escapes with Yuki.
General Domel makes a last ditch effort to destroy the Yamato by destroying his own ship while it is attached to the Yamato. His ploy fails as the Wave Motion shields are brought back on line just in time to protect the Yamato from the blast.
The episode ends with Kodai returning after the battle only to be greeted by a woman who looks very much like Yuki, Yurisha Iscandar.
Thoughts
There's a lot that goes on in this episode but it is all battle. I think I've described enough to give the gist of what happened. If you can overlook the seeming improbability of the Yamato defeating 5 Gamilan carriers then this is a damn good episode. I enjoyed it but that's only because I wasn't given enough time to think about it too much.
There are six episodes left. I have no idea where the show goes from here. I'm sure that there will be more battles but what will happen to Yuki? What role will Yurisha play in all this?
