1. That thunderbolt which pierced the mighty skiesCopy !req
2. And struck the EarthCopy !req
3. Was let looseCopy !req
4. To awaken us, the young mankindCopy !req
5. Macross! Macross!Copy !req
6. Even as they protect their loved onesCopy !req
7. The youths who have bravely taken a standCopy !req
8. Will set out on their continuing fightCopy !req
9. Will you love me tomorrow?Copy !req
10. Slicing through the darkness they fly towardCopy !req
11. That blue planet that shines in the distanceCopy !req
12. Macross! Macross!Copy !req
13. Macross!Copy !req
14. Hikaru, Misa, Max and Kakizaki were
captured by the ZentradiCopy !req
15. and taken to the distant main fleet.Copy !req
16. However, their determination to
return to the MacrossCopy !req
17. gave rise to a miracle beyond imagination.Copy !req
18. We've come so close...Copy !req
19. When do you think we'll be able to go home?Copy !req
20. Why don't you ask the Zentradi
fleet surrounding us?Copy !req
21. Now then...Copy !req
22. Let the higher-ups worry about this.Copy !req
23. Our enemy won't cut you any slack just
because you're the alternate shift.Copy !req
24. Yes, Ma'am!Copy !req
25. Meanwhile, three micloned Zentradi spies
have infiltrated the Macross.Copy !req
26. I don't care how little intel we
have on them, this is cruel!Copy !req
27. There's no way we can walk
around looking like this.Copy !req
28. I just can't relax unless I'm in uniform.Copy !req
29. Oh, stop whining.Copy !req
30. So where are we going?Copy !req
31. I don't know.Copy !req
32. C'mon, what are we gonna do?Copy !req
33. Let's go to the disco!Copy !req
34. We can't go dressed like this.Copy !req
35. Let's change in the locker room over there.Copy !req
36. Good idea!Copy !req
37. How exciting!Copy !req
38. Yeah, it's been a while!Copy !req
39. "Disco?"Copy !req
40. No idea. That word wasn't in
our intensive training.Copy !req
41. I'll make a note of it.Copy !req
42. Much better!Copy !req
43. You see that?Copy !req
44. It looks like you have to change uniforms
depending on where you go.Copy !req
45. What a lot of work!Copy !req
46. Warera, take note of that!Copy !req
47. But if they changed uniforms
in there, then...Copy !req
48. There are more uniforms!Copy !req
49. Right!Copy !req
50. Warera, aren't you ready yet?Copy !req
51. I can't get this to fit quite right!Copy !req
52. Hurry up!Copy !req
53. Well?Copy !req
54. It's fine. All right, now our
mission really begins!Copy !req
55. So it looked like this?Copy !req
56. No, I think the ship's silhouettes
stretched farther out.Copy !req
57. I agree.Copy !req
58. Not counting the smaller ships,Copy !req
59. we estimate there to be between
four and five million of them.Copy !req
60. Impossible!Copy !req
61. I don't believe it!Copy !req
62. Wait! Let's hear more of what they have to say.Copy !req
63. Misa, Hikaru and the others explain that
Zentradi society is completely military,Copy !req
64. with no concept of civilians.Copy !req
65. Also, because the Zentradi history's
is one of continuous warfare,Copy !req
66. they theorize that the Zentradi used artificial
means to turn themselves into a race of giants.Copy !req
67. And that they can shrink themselves through
a process called micloning.Copy !req
68. They also describe the enemy's fear that humans
are something called "protoculture,"Copy !req
69. and relate in detail everything they
observed on the enemy ship.Copy !req
70. This story is absurd.Copy !req
71. Are you sure they weren't just brainwashed?Copy !req
72. No, physical and mental evaluations
both came back normal.Copy !req
73. Just what is this "protoculture"?Copy !req
74. It seems to refer to the ancestors of the giants.Copy !req
75. They think that protoculture has the power
to upset their entire organization.Copy !req
76. Now isn't that nice!Copy !req
77. Gentlemen, that's enough!Copy !req
78. If this is true, it would explain why despite their
power they have yet to attack the Earth,Copy !req
79. and it would explain the inconsistency in the
attacks launched against the Macross.Copy !req
80. Lt. Hayase, anything to add?Copy !req
81. No, Sir, that's all.Copy !req
82. She sure remembered a lot, huh?Copy !req
83. Her brain's on a whole different
level from yours.Copy !req
84. The question now is, how do
we respond to this?Copy !req
85. We have to get this information
to Earth, no matter what.Copy !req
86. We'll send a coded message at once.Copy !req
87. No...Copy !req
88. We're going to try to break through
the enemy blockade.Copy !req
89. It's too dangerous!Copy !req
90. The Earth is two days away at maximum thrust.Copy !req
91. We'll have to get back sooner or later.Copy !req
92. But...Copy !req
93. We can do it.Copy !req
94. If we're the protoculture, that is.Copy !req
95. You all are on shipboard leave.Copy !req
96. There's no need for you to involve
yourselves in the fight.Copy !req
97. It seems a welcome-back reception
for you is about to start.Copy !req
98. All right! I'm gonna stuff myself
on some fine food!Copy !req
99. Well done.Copy !req
100. Hayase...Copy !req
101. Sir?Copy !req
102. I, for one, believe you, however...Copy !req
103. I understand, Captain Global.Copy !req
104. All right, let's get this strategy
meeting underway.Copy !req
105. It looks like they don't really believe us.Copy !req
106. I don't blame them. I saw it with my own
eyes and even I don't believe it.Copy !req
107. If only we had that video...Copy !req
108. Hey, we all got promoted, so they're
at least giving us some credit.Copy !req
109. You made 1st Lieutenant, and Max
and I made 2nd Lieutenant.Copy !req
110. I wish I could be as cheerful as you, Kakizaki.Copy !req
111. So many amazing machines.
And so many people!Copy !req
112. This must be an important section of the ship.Copy !req
113. We have nothing like this on our vessel.Copy !req
114. Something's strange though.
It just doesn't...Copy !req
115. What do you think you're doing? Pervert!Copy !req
116. What was that all about?Copy !req
117. Look over there!Copy !req
118. Males and females are interacting!Copy !req
119. Lmpossible! But it looks like we've
already passed several of them!Copy !req
120. Their uniforms are so mixed up
that I didn't even realize!Copy !req
121. Is this sort of thing allowed?Copy !req
122. Look at how close they are to one other!
Lt... It's horrendous!Copy !req
123. No, it may hold some significance for them.Copy !req
124. Gangway!
No, it may hold some significance for them.Copy !req
125. Gangway!Copy !req
126. Are you all right?Copy !req
127. This is no time to be fainting!Copy !req
128. What's that guy's problem?Copy !req
129. Hey, we seem to be attracting attention.Copy !req
130. Oh, no, are our uniforms not on properly?Copy !req
131. They don't seem any different from
how the others wear them.Copy !req
132. Still, this uniform doesn't feel quite right.Copy !req
133. It's so breezy around the legs.Copy !req
134. Warera, it's you!
You're wearing a female uniform!Copy !req
135. We'd better get out of sight.Copy !req
136. Huh? Women go in that side!Copy !req
137. Pervert!Copy !req
138. This is what they call culture?Copy !req
139. Isn't this where they held the
Miss Macross contest?Copy !req
140. That's the only thing your memory
is good for, isn't it?Copy !req
141. Lay off.Copy !req
142. Here they are, the four heroes who
miraculously made it back alive!Copy !req
143. Captain Misa Hayase, heroine of the stars!Copy !req
144. 1st Lieutenant Ichijo Hikaru,Copy !req
145. the young hero whose heavenly wings
fly him through space!Copy !req
146. Joining them are Hayao Kakizaki and
Maximilian Jenius! Well done!Copy !req
147. Well done, all of you!Copy !req
148. And now, our very own Miss Macross
and latest singing sensation,Copy !req
149. Lynn Minmay, will present them
all with bouquets.Copy !req
150. Minmay?Copy !req
151. Jeez, who is this reception for anyway?Copy !req
152. Well, I do like Minmay though...Copy !req
153. I don't really like these flashy
sorts of events either.Copy !req
154. Still, this doesn't happen very often,
so where's the harm?Copy !req
155. Congratulations on your return!Copy !req
156. Thank you.Copy !req
157. Congratulations on your return!Copy !req
158. Looks like we both got famous, huh?Copy !req
159. Yeah, you're right.Copy !req
160. Hey, what the hell?Copy !req
161. It's a riot!Copy !req
162. No, stay calm. I don't think so.Copy !req
163. Oh, I think I'm gonna faint.Copy !req
164. You call yourself a soldier?Copy !req
165. And now, in honor of our heroes,
I'd like to sing my debut song,Copy !req
166. "My Boyfriend is a Pilot."Copy !req
167. Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!Copy !req
168. Min...

209. Please!Copy !req
210. I heard you're a captain now.Copy !req
211. Congratulations, Captain Hayase!Copy !req
212. Thanks.Copy !req
213. Well? How's it feel to be back home?Copy !req
214. Well...Copy !req
215. Why do you have to be so
serious all the time?Copy !req
216. You'll never enjoy life that way!
Just be happy.Copy !req
217. "Ooh, wow! Is this where I work?"Copy !req
218. Is that how you want me to act?Copy !req
219. Here you are.Copy !req
220. Thank you.
Here you are.Copy !req
221. Thank you.
Here.Copy !req
222. Thanks.
Here.Copy !req
223. Thanks.Copy !req
224. Thanks.Copy !req
225. Cheers!Copy !req
226. This tastes great. Thank you.Copy !req
227. Misa, aren't you on special leave?Copy !req
228. This is where I feel most comfortable.Copy !req
229. Sempai!
Sempai's back!Copy !req
230. You're right!Copy !req
231. Welcome back!Copy !req
232. Welcome back!Copy !req
233. Yo, Hikaru!Copy !req
234. Sempai!Copy !req
235. You haven't come to see me at all!
How heartless!Copy !req
236. Heartless?Copy !req
237. Where do you all think you're going?Copy !req
238. Did you not hear the announcement, Sir?
We're to report to section B5.Copy !req
239. Your orders were to remain on
the ship on standby! Right?Copy !req
240. But Captain Hayase is...Copy !req
241. Idiot! There's a difference between
bein' on the inside and bein' out!Copy !req
242. Now head back to the barracks
and get some sleep!Copy !req
243. But this is an emergency.Copy !req
244. Shut the hell up! Or do you wanna
get thrown into the brig?Copy !req
245. Understood, Sir! Going back, Sir!Copy !req
246. Good! Just so long as you
understand! See ya.Copy !req
247. The Macross has begun to accelerate.
It's gaining speed.Copy !req
248. What shall we do?Copy !req
249. Lord Bodolzaa did not order its destruction.Copy !req
250. We shall follow and observe.Copy !req
251. We are at maximum thrust
and maintaining speed.Copy !req
252. Any reaction from the enemy fleet?Copy !req
253. They've begun to match our speed and
are maintaining their blockade.Copy !req
254. As I expected. They're following,
but not taking direct action.Copy !req
255. It looks like your theory was correct.Copy !req
256. I hope so, Sir.Copy !req
257. We are now passing into the Moon's orbit.Copy !req
258. And the enemy fleet?Copy !req
259. No change, Sir.Copy !req
260. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons have
assembled in section B5.Copy !req
261. The Macross is here and we're here.Copy !req
262. They've accelerated to top speed!Copy !req
263. This blockade of ours is useless!Copy !req
264. They're going to escape.Copy !req
265. If we sit by and do nothing, it will bring
shame to the house of Kamjin!Copy !req
266. Isn't that right, Oigul?Copy !req
267. Yes, Sir.Copy !req
268. Destroy the damn thing!
I can't put up with this anymore!Copy !req
269. All right, increase speed and prepare to fire!Copy !req
270. Part of the enemy fleet has changed course
and is heading toward us.Copy !req
271. Approximately ten ships.Copy !req
272. Launch all defense forces!Copy !req
273. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
274. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons,
launch all units!Copy !req
275. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons,
launch all units!Copy !req
276. Transform and activate the pinpoint barrier!Copy !req
277. We're breaking through!Copy !req
278. Civilian evacuation of all blocks is complete!Copy !req
279. Beginning transformation in all blocks.Copy !req
280. Everyone vanished after that
transformation announcement.Copy !req
281. Very well-organized.Copy !req
282. Perhaps these civilians are a
branch of their military.Copy !req
283. Why is it moving?Copy !req
284. This may be their culture too!Copy !req
285. The artificial gravity!Copy !req
286. Transformation in the starboard
section is 75% complete.Copy !req
287. Transformation in the port section
is 80% complete.Copy !req
288. Connecting energy-conduction system.Copy !req
289. That group from the enemy fleet
is headed straight at us!Copy !req
290. Fire the main gun!Copy !req
291. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
292. Don't fall back! Fire! Fire!Copy !req
293. Secondary starboard thrusters have been hit!Copy !req
294. E block engineering section has been hit!Copy !req
295. Section 27 has been destroyed!Copy !req
296. If my theory is wrong...Copy !req
297. Misa, you can't go losing your resolve now.Copy !req
298. What a mess. Damn that Kamjin!Copy !req
299. What shall we do? Lord Bodolzaa has
not ordered us to destroy them.Copy !req
300. Move the fleet in front of Kamjin
and force him back!Copy !req
301. But the blockade will fall.Copy !req
302. We don't have a choice.Copy !req
303. Damn you, Kamjin!Copy !req
304. The main fleet is moving to join the
group already attacking us!Copy !req
305. The barrier won't hold up!Copy !req
306. Oh, no!Copy !req
307. Huh? What's going on?Copy !req
308. What the hell are they doing?Copy !req
309. Kamjin! Lord Bodolzaa has not ordered
the destruction of the Macross!Copy !req
310. As the direct commander of this fleet,Copy !req
311. I will carry out Lord Bodolzaa's orders
until I am told otherwise.Copy !req
312. Abort this unauthorized attack or you
will be fighting the entire fleet.Copy !req
313. Captain Kamjin, I don't think she's bluffing.Copy !req
314. Damn it! Why does something always
stop me from going all-out?Copy !req
315. Damn that Laplamiz, always flaunting her rank!Copy !req
316. Don't think I'm going to take this lying down!Copy !req
317. What happened? They shielded us
from their own attack!Copy !req
318. Worry about that later!
Reentering the atmosphere!Copy !req
319. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
320. Are the Valkyries keeping up with us?Copy !req
321. Yes, Sir, and losses are minimal.Copy !req
322. Set course for U.N. Forces
Headquarters in Alaska.Copy !req
323. It's those damaged starboard thrusters.Copy !req
324. We just lost the Number 7
gravity control system.Copy !req
325. We can't maintain altitude!Copy !req
326. All hands, prepare for impact!Copy !req
327. Blue skies!Copy !req
328. We're home!Copy !req
329. That's right! We're home, aren't we?Copy !req
330. We're home!
I'm so happy!Copy !req
331. The ship has touched down
in the Pacific Ocean!Copy !req
332. The ship has touched down
in the Pacific Ocean!Copy !req
333. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
for all your cooperation.Copy !req
334. The ocean!Copy !req
335. It's so beautiful...Copy !req
336. The ocean!Copy !req
337. The ocean!Copy !req
338. The smell of the sea!Copy !req
339. Earth! It's Earth!Copy !req
340. We've finally made it back
to Earth, haven't we?Copy !req
341. Yeah, the warmth of the sunlight...Copy !req
342. It really is like a dream.Copy !req
343. Valkyrie squadrons! Hey!Copy !req
344. Hey!Copy !req
345. Hey!
Hey!Copy !req
346. Hey!Copy !req
347. Hey!Copy !req
348. Hey!Copy !req
349. The Macross had at last returned to Earth.Copy !req
350. However, the Zentradi menace now
threatens both it and the Earth.Copy !req
351. The Macross has finally made it back to Earth.Copy !req
352. But for Captain Global, an even more
fearsome opponent lies in wait:Copy !req
353. The Earth U.N. Government and
the Military High Command.Copy !req
354. Will they accept the difficult-to-believe
truth about the Zentradi?Copy !req
355. Next time, on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:Copy !req
356. "Global's Report"Copy !req
357. I won't follow anymoreCopy !req
358. The shadow you cast as you run awayCopy !req
359. We all keep runningCopy !req
360. But we still can't see the goalCopy !req
361. What awaits us after today?Copy !req
362. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?Copy !req
363. Even now, I keep running towardCopy !req
364. The light that shines so far awayCopy !req
