Star Blazers 2199 1.23

One Man's War

The Yamato survives the trap thanks to the Wave Motion Shields. It heads straight for the planet Gamila where it crashes into the royal palace.

Desler and some of his followers escape in a rocket. They head for a massive auxiliary war ship which is near Gamila. Once he is aboard the massive ship he sets a course back to Gamila. He plans to crash the war ship into the capital of Gamila which will destroy the Yamato, the capital, and all his subjects who are still there.

Kodai launches a mission, with Commander Okita's permission, to save Yuki. Yurisha goes with him. They get some help from Melda and other pilots who provide cover fire while they head for the giant Gamilan war ship.

Yuki and her escort sabotage the Wave Motion Gun aboard the giant Gamilan war ship. Her escort pushes her out of an airlock, they are both wearing protective suits, and then he finishes the job.

The giant war ship is destroyed. Yuki survives. Kodai finds her floating out in space, still alive.

Thoughts

Desler is dead, or so it seems, just like that. This episode wrapped quite a bit up extremely quickly. Done differently I'm sure they could have stretched this one episode out into at least three episodes. If it was done right then I'm sure it would have been more satisfying to me. Is the war over? What is left?
