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

211. I heard you're a captain now.Copy !req
212. Congratulations, Captain Hayase!Copy !req
213. Thanks.Copy !req
214. Well? How's it feel to be back home?Copy !req
215. Well...Copy !req
216. Why do you have to be so
serious all the time?Copy !req
217. You'll never enjoy life that way!
Just be happy.Copy !req
218. "Ooh, wow! Is this where I work?"Copy !req
219. Is that how you want me to act?Copy !req
220. Here you are.Copy !req
221. Thank you.
Here you are.Copy !req

227. This tastes great. Thank you.Copy !req
228. Misa, aren't you on special leave?Copy !req
229. This is where I feel most comfortable.Copy !req
230. Sempai!
Sempai's back!Copy !req
231. You're right!Copy !req
232. Welcome back!Copy !req
233. Welcome back!Copy !req
234. Yo, Hikaru!Copy !req
235. Sempai!Copy !req
236. You haven't come to see me at all!
How heartless!Copy !req
237. Heartless?Copy !req
238. Where do you all think you're going?Copy !req
239. Did you not hear the announcement, Sir?
We're to report to section B5.Copy !req
240. Your orders were to remain on
the ship on standby! Right?Copy !req
241. But Captain Hayase is...Copy !req
242. Idiot! There's a difference between
bein' on the inside and bein' out!Copy !req
243. Now head back to the barracks
and get some sleep!Copy !req
244. But this is an emergency.Copy !req
245. Shut the hell up! Or do you wanna
get thrown into the brig?Copy !req
246. Understood, Sir! Going back, Sir!Copy !req
247. Good! Just so long as you
understand! See ya.Copy !req
248. The Macross has begun to accelerate.
It's gaining speed.Copy !req
249. What shall we do?Copy !req
250. Lord Bodolzaa did not order its destruction.Copy !req
251. We shall follow and observe.Copy !req
252. We are at maximum thrust
and maintaining speed.Copy !req
253. Any reaction from the enemy fleet?Copy !req
254. They've begun to match our speed and
are maintaining their blockade.Copy !req
255. As I expected. They're following,
but not taking direct action.Copy !req
256. It looks like your theory was correct.Copy !req
257. I hope so, Sir.Copy !req
258. We are now passing into the Moon's orbit.Copy !req
259. And the enemy fleet?Copy !req
260. No change, Sir.Copy !req
261. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons have
assembled in section B5.Copy !req
262. The Macross is here and we're here.Copy !req
263. They've accelerated to top speed!Copy !req
264. This blockade of ours is useless!Copy !req
265. They're going to escape.Copy !req
266. If we sit by and do nothing, it will bring
shame to the house of Kamjin!Copy !req
267. Isn't that right, Oigul?Copy !req
268. Yes, Sir.Copy !req
269. Destroy the damn thing!
I can't put up with this anymore!Copy !req
270. All right, increase speed and prepare to fire!Copy !req
271. Part of the enemy fleet has changed course
and is heading toward us.Copy !req
272. Approximately ten ships.Copy !req
273. Launch all defense forces!Copy !req
274. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
275. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons,
launch all units!Copy !req
276. Valkyrie and Ghost squadrons,
launch all units!Copy !req
277. Transform and activate the pinpoint barrier!Copy !req
278. We're breaking through!Copy !req
279. Civilian evacuation of all blocks is complete!Copy !req
280. Beginning transformation in all blocks.Copy !req
281. Everyone vanished after that
transformation announcement.Copy !req
282. Very well-organized.Copy !req
283. Perhaps these civilians are a
branch of their military.Copy !req
284. Why is it moving?Copy !req
285. This may be their culture too!Copy !req
286. The artificial gravity!Copy !req
287. Transformation in the starboard
section is 75% complete.Copy !req
288. Transformation in the port section
is 80% complete.Copy !req
289. Connecting energy-conduction system.Copy !req
290. That group from the enemy fleet
is headed straight at us!Copy !req
291. Fire the main gun!Copy !req
292. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
293. Don't fall back! Fire! Fire!Copy !req
294. Secondary starboard thrusters have been hit!Copy !req
295. E block engineering section has been hit!Copy !req
296. Section 27 has been destroyed!Copy !req
297. If my theory is wrong...Copy !req
298. Misa, you can't go losing your resolve now.Copy !req
299. What a mess. Damn that Kamjin!Copy !req
300. What shall we do? Lord Bodolzaa has
not ordered us to destroy them.Copy !req
301. Move the fleet in front of Kamjin
and force him back!Copy !req
302. But the blockade will fall.Copy !req
303. We don't have a choice.Copy !req
304. Damn you, Kamjin!Copy !req
305. The main fleet is moving to join the
group already attacking us!Copy !req
306. The barrier won't hold up!Copy !req
307. Oh, no!Copy !req
308. Huh? What's going on?Copy !req
309. What the hell are they doing?Copy !req
310. Kamjin! Lord Bodolzaa has not ordered
the destruction of the Macross!Copy !req
311. As the direct commander of this fleet,Copy !req
312. I will carry out Lord Bodolzaa's orders
until I am told otherwise.Copy !req
313. Abort this unauthorized attack or you
will be fighting the entire fleet.Copy !req
314. Captain Kamjin, I don't think she's bluffing.Copy !req
315. Damn it! Why does something always
stop me from going all-out?Copy !req
316. Damn that Laplamiz, always flaunting her rank!Copy !req
317. Don't think I'm going to take this lying down!Copy !req
318. What happened? They shielded us
from their own attack!Copy !req
319. Worry about that later!
Reentering the atmosphere!Copy !req
320. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
321. Are the Valkyries keeping up with us?Copy !req
322. Yes, Sir, and losses are minimal.Copy !req
323. Set course for U.N. Forces
Headquarters in Alaska.Copy !req
324. It's those damaged starboard thrusters.Copy !req
325. We just lost the Number 7
gravity control system.Copy !req
326. We can't maintain altitude!Copy !req
327. All hands, prepare for impact!Copy !req
328. Blue skies!Copy !req
329. We're home!Copy !req
330. That's right! We're home, aren't we?Copy !req
331. We're home!
I'm so happy!Copy !req
332. The ship has touched down
in the Pacific Ocean!Copy !req
333. The ship has touched down
in the Pacific Ocean!Copy !req
334. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
for all your cooperation.Copy !req
335. The ocean!Copy !req
336. It's so beautiful...Copy !req
337. The ocean!Copy !req
338. The ocean!Copy !req
339. The smell of the sea!Copy !req
340. Earth! It's Earth!Copy !req
341. We've finally made it back
to Earth, haven't we?Copy !req
342. Yeah, the warmth of the sunlight...Copy !req
343. It really is like a dream.Copy !req
344. Valkyrie squadrons! Hey!Copy !req
345. Hey!Copy !req
346. Hey!
Hey!Copy !req
347. Hey!Copy !req

353. PreviewCopy !req
354. The Macross has finally made it back to Earth.Copy !req
355. But for Captain Global, an even more
fearsome opponent lies in wait:Copy !req
356. The Earth U.N. Government and
the Military High Command.Copy !req
357. Will they accept the difficult-to-believe
truth about the Zentradi?Copy !req
