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