1. That thunderbolt which pierced the mighty skies
Copy !req
2. And struck the Earth
Copy !req
3. Was let loose
Copy !req
4. To awaken us, the young mankind
Copy !req
5. Macross! Macross!
Copy !req
6. Even as they protect their loved ones
Copy !req
7. The youths who have bravely taken a stand
Copy !req
8. Will set out on their continuing fight
Copy !req
9. Will you love me tomorrow?
Copy !req
10. Slicing through the darkness they fly toward
Copy !req
11. That blue planet that shines in the distance
Copy !req
12. Macross! Macross!
Copy !req
13. Macross!
Copy !req
14. Chinatown
Copy !req
15. Well, there they go.
Copy !req
16. Must be nice. I wanna go too!
Copy !req
17. What are you saying?
Copy !req
18. They're going to U.N. Forces
Headquarters in Alaska,
Copy !req
19. and it's not going to be fun.
Copy !req
20. You're a lot better off staying here.
Copy !req
21. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
22. I'd like to get off the ship too.
Copy !req
23. Ow!
Copy !req
24. Be careful, Colonel Maistroff.
That doorway's a little low.
Copy !req
25. Thanks for the warning.
Copy !req
26. It's a little late though.
Copy !req
27. I'll be assuming command in
Captain Global's absence.
Copy !req
28. I was informed, Sir.
Copy !req
29. Colonel! There's no smoking on the bridge!
Copy !req
30. I know that! I was just keeping it in my mouth.
Copy !req
31. Well, Colonel, if you'll excuse me.
Copy !req
32. My watch is over, Sir.
Copy !req
33. Ah, very well, then.
Copy !req
34. See you.
Copy !req
35. You're going off to the Macross's return
celebration by yourself, aren't you, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
36. Well, who can say?
Copy !req
37. All right! For the next three days and
nights, we're gonna live it up!
Copy !req
38. But Mr. Mayor, shouldn't we use
that time to pack?
Copy !req
39. What're ya talkin' about?
We can do that soon enough!
Copy !req
40. We've been on the Macross for a while now,
Copy !req
41. and there's nothin' wrong with
being a little sad to go!
Copy !req
42. Well, I guess we do have a few
days before we leave.
Copy !req
43. 'Sright!
Copy !req
44. So ya gotta party! PARTY!
Copy !req
45. Why are these guys so happy
just to land on a planet?
Copy !req
46. 'The hell would I know?
Anyway, thish booze they got is great!
Copy !req
47. Start drinkin'.
Copy !req
48. Hey, you can really put that stuff away!
Copy !req
49. I... I can't take no notes.
Copy !req
50. And that'sh bad...
Copy !req
51. Ah, hell! We're takin' the day off!
Copy !req
52. An unrivaled beauty enters
his room, and he just...
Copy !req
53. You're cute when you're asleep,
Mr. Invincible Focker.
Copy !req
54. Well, I guess I'll go take a shower.
Copy !req
55. Still got those curves, I see.
Copy !req
56. Maybe a little worse for the wear though.
Copy !req
57. What was that again?
Copy !req
58. Minmay!
Copy !req
59. Minmay!
Copy !req
60. Come on, outta the way!
Copy !req
61. I can't even stop by my uncle's
to say hi anymore.
Copy !req
62. Hey...
Copy !req
63. Looks like a lot of work.
Copy !req
64. Yeah, but my fans are all important to me.
Copy !req
65. Oh, is that how it is?
Copy !req
66. Thank you.
Copy !req
67. You're nicer now than when we first met.
Copy !req
68. You think so?
Copy !req
69. Lt. Ichijo! I'm counting on you, son.
Copy !req
70. Understood!
Copy !req
71. Don't be late coming back.
I know you wanted to see your parents,
Copy !req
72. but as your manager, I'm the one who
has to balance your schedule and...
Copy !req
73. I know, all right?
I'm not an amateur anymore.
Copy !req
74. Well, so long as you understand.
Copy !req
75. We're going! Please stand back.
Copy !req
76. See you!
Copy !req
77. I'd forgotten what this feels like.
Copy !req
78. What?
Copy !req
79. Let's go!
Copy !req
80. What's got you in such a good mood, Sir?
Copy !req
81. Jeez, it's you two?
Copy !req
82. What do you mean, "jeez?"
Copy !req
83. Sorry 'bout that.
Copy !req
84. We'll be heading back now, Sir.
Copy !req
85. And leave you and Minmay alone
on your romantic getaway.
Copy !req
86. Must be nice!
Copy !req
87. Idiot! It's not like that!
Copy !req
88. You don't have to by shy about it!
Copy !req
89. Anyway, enjoy yourselves.
Copy !req
90. It's been a while since we were alone, huh?
Copy !req
91. Yeah...
Copy !req
92. I can finally relax.
Copy !req
93. But once I go back, I'll be
busy all over again.
Copy !req
94. I'll have to make up the time I took off.
Copy !req
95. Don't push yourself so hard.
Copy !req
96. Let's see. As soon as I get back,
I have that TV show to tape, right?
Copy !req
97. Then a stage show.
Copy !req
98. And then I'm going to be in a movie!
Copy !req
99. My first movie! It's a lot of work too.
Copy !req
100. Then I'm recording an album!
Copy !req
101. I'll send you one as a gift.
Copy !req
102. Thanks.
Copy !req
103. Still, can such a hard schedule
be good for you?
Copy !req
104. Minmay? Min...
Copy !req
105. They've certainly put a lot of work into this.
Copy !req
106. Look, that's how for up we still are.
Copy !req
107. This shaft is six kilometers deep.
Copy !req
108. By the way, do you know about
the Grand Cannon?
Copy !req
109. No, Sir.
Copy !req
110. It works on the same principle
as the Macross's main gun,
Copy !req
111. and uses the Earth's gravitational field
as its energy source.
Copy !req
112. Work on it began seven or eight years ago.
Copy !req
113. It's so huge that it actually uses
this tunnel as the gun barrel.
Copy !req
114. So everyone here lives inside a cannon?
Copy !req
115. Yes, you could put it that way.
Copy !req
116. Is this your first time here?
Copy !req
117. No, my father brought me a few times.
Copy !req
118. But he never took me down to the
bottom of the main shaft.
Copy !req
119. I suppose not. Most officers aren't even
allowed there, let alone cadets.
Copy !req
120. Still...
Copy !req
121. Sir?
Copy !req
122. Sorry. It's just, Admiral Hayase
is famous for being strict,
Copy !req
123. so it's just like him to be no different
with his own daughter.
Copy !req
124. My father? I didn't know that.
Copy !req
125. He was my commander on the front line
during the Unification Wars.
Copy !req
126. He got into a disagreement with the higher-ups
over the distribution of our food supplies,
Copy !req
127. so the idiot took a unit and had them
raid an allied warehouse!
Copy !req
128. And you were with him, Sir?
Copy !req
129. That's a nice face, Hayase.
Copy !req
130. Sir?
Copy !req
131. I haven't seen you smile since you
escaped from the enemy.
Copy !req
132. Things will be a little easier for us
once we get HQ's support,
Copy !req
133. but for that to happen, we're going to
have to convince the top brass.
Copy !req
134. It may be rough on you, but I want you
to help me and try your hardest.
Copy !req
135. Yes, Sir. I'll give it my all.
Copy !req
136. Excellent.
Copy !req
137. The capsule is a non-smoking area.
Copy !req
138. Please refrain from your tobacco.
Copy !req
139. Of all the... Here too?
Copy !req
140. First Shammy and now this machine!
Copy !req
141. Captain, you're worried about the others
on the Macross, aren't you?
Copy !req
142. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
143. You always take out your pipe when
you're worried about something.
Copy !req
144. Really? I never noticed.
Copy !req
145. Well, I don't think there will be
any attacks for a while.
Copy !req
146. We've seen that the enemy's chain
of command is in disarray.
Copy !req
147. But how long will it last?
Copy !req
148. Not very long.
Copy !req
149. Minmay, wake up.
Copy !req
150. It's been a while, Global,
Copy !req
151. since the launching of the Macross.
Copy !req
152. Sir!
Copy !req
153. Same for you, Captain Hayase.
Copy !req
154. Yes, Admiral.
Copy !req
155. Both of you take your seats.
Copy !req
156. Well, shall we begin?
Copy !req
157. Having already received Global's report,
Copy !req
158. the military officials began their
cross-examination.
Copy !req
159. And immediately, their responses made
Misa and Global painfully aware
Copy !req
160. of the deficiencies in their observations.
Copy !req
161. Smell that salt air!
Copy !req
162. You can't smell that anywhere else!
Copy !req
163. Good old Yokohama!
Copy !req
164. C'mon, everyone's staring.
Copy !req
165. Here we are in Harbor View Park on a lovely
day, and you're just spoiling the mood!
Copy !req
166. Hey, come on!
Copy !req
167. Look! That's the New Marine Tower.
Copy !req
168. It's 900 meters tall, and when it was built
it was the tallest thing in the world!
Copy !req
169. It's the same age as me!
Copy !req
170. Really?
Copy !req
171. Hey! Be more impressed!
Copy !req
172. Let's see, there's the Yokohama
Dai-Hanten Restaurant,
Copy !req
173. and there's the Canton Saikan.
Copy !req
174. I'm so glad! Nothing's changed!
Copy !req
175. It doesn't even look like Japan.
Copy !req
176. That's why it's called Chinatown.
Copy !req
177. Past the Kainan Hanten...
Copy !req
178. Here!
Copy !req
179. Here?
Copy !req
180. Yeah!
Copy !req
181. Thank goodness! My home's still here!
Copy !req
182. It hasn't even been a year, you know.
Copy !req
183. It feels like it's been ten already!
Copy !req
184. I'm back!
Copy !req
185. Miss Minmay!
Copy !req
186. C'mon! Just c'mon!
Copy !req
187. What is it, Chin?
C'mon! Just c'mon!
Copy !req
188. What's going...
Copy !req
189. Oh! Minmay!
Copy !req
190. I'm home.
Copy !req
191. How could you?
Copy !req
192. I thought you'd been killed long ago
in the Unification Wars!
Copy !req
193. The Unification Wars?
Copy !req
194. Who's this?
Copy !req
195. That's Hikaru. I really owe him a lot!
Copy !req
196. Thank you so much!
Copy !req
197. No, it's all right. You're embarrassing me.
Copy !req
198. Minmay! How could you make
us worry like that?
Copy !req
199. Why didn't you send word that
you were still alive?
Copy !req
200. Global, Captain Hayase...
Copy !req
201. I wouldn't have expected this
from either of you.
Copy !req
202. First of all, if the enemy is as
powerful as you claim,
Copy !req
203. why was the Macross allowed to return?
Copy !req
204. The reason for that was in our report.
Copy !req
205. Even if that report is true,
it contains several gaps.
Copy !req
206. But it...
Even if that report is true,
it contains several gaps.
Copy !req
207. That's enough, Captain Hayase!
Copy !req
208. Admiral!
Copy !req
209. Sir, will you grant my previous request?
Copy !req
210. The negotiation plan and the relocation
of the 56,000 refugees?
Copy !req
211. We'll take that up in our deliberations.
Copy !req
212. Captain, why are they doing this?
Copy !req
213. I don't think we've seen their
true intentions yet.
Copy !req
214. What do you mean?
Copy !req
215. They're also politicians, Hayase.
Copy !req
216. If we spend all this time deliberating, do you
think we can get anything done in time?
Copy !req
217. Out of the question!
Copy !req
218. That's right! You only just got back!
Copy !req
219. You can't go be a singer on some battleship!
Copy !req
220. Besides, all you're doing is
entertaining the troops!
Copy !req
221. Entertaining the troops?
Talk about old-fashioned!
Copy !req
222. Well, I don't care what you say,
I'm going back to the Macross!
Copy !req
223. I'm not gonna blow this chance!
Copy !req
224. No! No!
Copy !req
225. You're not going anywhere!
Copy !req
226. I am! I'm on TV in the Macross,
and I'm about to do a record!
Copy !req
227. I'm even going to be in a movie soon!
Copy !req
228. Right, Hikaru?
Copy !req
229. Why would we believe a made-up
story like that?
Copy !req
230. I'm not lying!
Copy !req
231. You're our only child.
Copy !req
232. I thought someday you'd take over the
restaurant, find a husband...
Copy !req
233. What about you, son?
Would you settle down with her?
Copy !req
234. Me? Well, I...
Copy !req
235. Stop it!
Copy !req
236. You're making Hikaru uncomfortable!
Our relationship isn't like that!
Copy !req
237. And anyway, I can't betray my
tens of thousands of fans!
Copy !req
238. I'm a professional now!
Copy !req
239. You're still going on about that?
Copy !req
240. Well, what's going on?
Copy !req
241. You said it was important.
Copy !req
242. Minmay!
Copy !req
243. Kaifun, it's you!
Copy !req
244. Am I dreaming?
Copy !req
245. Kaifun, I never expected to see you here.
Copy !req
246. Well, after I joined the peace movement,
Copy !req
247. I couldn't stand being near the Macross
anymore, so I left home.
Copy !req
248. I was going to come back to see Mom and Dad,
but I stopped getting any mail from them.
Copy !req
249. Then I found out that the
island was destroyed.
Copy !req
250. It was really something.
Copy !req
251. Well, I'm glad at least you're
still alive, Minmay.
Copy !req
252. Huh? Your mom and dad are just fine.
Copy !req
253. Really? Where are they?
Copy !req
254. Aboard the Macross.
Copy !req
255. The Macross?
Copy !req
256. Didn't you know?
Copy !req
257. No, I...
Copy !req
258. Oh, I'm sorry!
Copy !req
259. Let me introduce you, Hikaru.
Copy !req
260. This is my cousin Lynn Kaifun.
He's like a big brother to me.
Copy !req
261. Good to meet you.
Copy !req
262. This is 1st Lieutenant Hikaru Ichijo.
Copy !req
263. He's a fighter pilot aboard the Macross,
and he saved my life.
Copy !req
264. I'm Hikaru Ichijo.
Copy !req
265. Oh, so that's it?
Copy !req
266. Soldiers are expected to help
us civilians, you know.
Copy !req
267. Still, I guess I can go ahead and say thanks.
Copy !req
268. No! He wasn't a soldier when he saved me!
Copy !req
269. Oh, so you joined up later?
Copy !req
270. That's right.
Copy !req
271. And what's so great about the military?
Copy !req
272. They sure are taking their time.
Copy !req
273. Forgive the delay.
Copy !req
274. We've analyzed your report and have determined
that it is credible to a certain extent.
Copy !req
275. Is that so?
Copy !req
276. However, contact and/or negotiations with
the enemy is out of the question.
Copy !req
277. But attempting to continue hostilities
with them is just...
Copy !req
278. You still don't seem to understand.
Copy !req
279. The Zentradi way of thinking is completely
different from our own.
Copy !req
280. Even if your theory is correct and their
ancestors were similar to us,
Copy !req
281. they are now quite different, Commodore Global.
Copy !req
282. Handled incorrectly, peace talks with these
aliens could very well have adverse effects.
Copy !req
283. Understood. What about letting the
56,000 civilians off of the Macross?
Copy !req
284. They've all been declared dead.
We can't allow them to leave the ship.
Copy !req
285. What did you say?
Copy !req
286. I don't understand!
Copy !req
287. Did you think we could tell the public
we're at war with aliens?
Copy !req
288. It would have thrown the entire
Earth into a panic.
Copy !req
289. After the Macross launched into space,
we took control of the media.
Copy !req
290. We said that the Macross had been attacked by
guerillas, remnants of the anti-U.N. Movement.
Copy !req
291. They destroyed South Ataria Island, and the
Macross launched on its test flight.
Copy !req
292. Do you think we can let 56,000 ghosts
who know the truth go free?
Copy !req
293. I don't believe this!
Copy !req
294. If we try to keep them on board now,
it will cause a riot.
Copy !req
295. After all they've been through, they've finally
made it back home, and now...
Copy !req
296. Keeping them in line is your responsibility.
Copy !req
297. Besides, if your report is correct and the
aliens are so interested in civilians
Copy !req
298. then the Macross, which is full of civilians,
should occupy their attention.
Copy !req
299. What did you say?
Copy !req
300. Continue to keep the aliens occupied
as you've been doing.
Copy !req
301. While you're doing that, we'll be
preparing our counterattack.
Copy !req
302. I know it's risky, but you have to
buy us some time.
Copy !req
303. Father, you're asking too much!
At least let the civilians...
Copy !req
304. Leave our relationship out of this, Captain!
Copy !req
305. We may be father and daughter,
but we're both soldiers!
Copy !req
306. The enemy could ignore the Macross
and attack the Earth directly!
Copy !req
307. Our analysis shows there is little
chance of that happening.
Copy !req
308. You'll receive more detailed instructions later.
That is all.
Copy !req
309. Hayase, aren't you going to speak with him?
Copy !req
310. He is your father.
Copy !req
311. I don't want to see him. Not now.
Copy !req
312. This is going nowhere. Minmay's mind
is made up. Why not let her go?
Copy !req
313. All right, Kaifun!
Copy !req
314. What? Kaifun!
Copy !req
315. I asked you to talk to her because you
two have always gotten along.
Copy !req
316. But now you've just taken her side!
Copy !req
317. However, I intend to go with her.
Copy !req
318. I get to be with Kaifun! This is the best!
Copy !req
319. Hey, I didn't think of that!
Copy !req
320. I wouldn't be so worried if
Kaifun was with her.
Copy !req
321. Leave everything to me.
Copy !req
322. Misa, I'm sure you're angry with my decision,
Copy !req
323. but as a ranking official of the United Nations
Forces, it was the only decision to make.
Copy !req
324. Please try to understand.
Copy !req
325. And now I have a request, as your father.
Copy !req
326. Leave the Macross at once.
Copy !req
327. I'll make whatever arrangements are necessary.
Copy !req
328. I can't bear to have my daughter
in such a dangerous place.
Copy !req
329. So you don't have a single girlfriend?
Copy !req
330. Nope! I've been dumped the world over.
Copy !req
331. I'd be jealous if you ever got a girlfriend!
Copy !req
332. What, you want me to be alone
for the rest of me life?
Copy !req
333. That's not what I'm saying.
Copy !req
334. What, then?
Copy !req
335. Never you mind!
Copy !req
336. Excuse me!
Copy !req
337. We're already carrying more weight
than we should be,
Copy !req
338. so would you mind not fooling
around back there?
Copy !req
339. Why are you trying to act all big, Hikaru?
Copy !req
340. I'm not.
Copy !req
341. Having set foot on the Earth for
the first time in quite a while
Copy !req
342. and still puzzling over the
unexpected twists of fate,
Copy !req
343. they hurry back with mixed feelings
in their hearts...
Copy !req
344. to their home aboard the Macross.
Copy !req
345. Next Episode
Copy !req
346. Preview
Copy !req
347. Minmay's cousin Lynn Kaifun
has returned to a home
Copy !req
348. that has been transplanted
aboard the Macross.
Copy !req
349. This somewhat unusual passenger
causes new troubles
Copy !req
350. not just for Hikaru, but for everyone
aboard the Macross.
Copy !req
351. Next time, on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:
Copy !req
352. "Kung Fu Dandy"
Copy !req
353. Kung Fu Dandy
Copy !req
354. I won't follow anymore
Copy !req
355. The shadow you cast as you run away
Copy !req
356. We all keep running
Copy !req
357. But we still can't see the goal
Copy !req
358. What awaits us after today?
Copy !req
359. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?
Copy !req
360. Even now, I keep running toward
Copy !req
361. The light that shines so far away
Copy !req
