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. It is the year 2009.Copy !req
15. The alien spacecraft that fell
to Earth 10 years agoCopy !req
16. was rebuilt by human hands as the
gigantic battleship "Macross".Copy !req
17. However, on the day that the Macross
was scheduled to be launched,Copy !req
18. an automatic defense system of alien
origin suddenly activated itself,Copy !req
19. firing the main cannon and destroying
an unidentified warship.Copy !req
20. Humanity was plunged into
unavoidable conflict.Copy !req
21. Meanwhile, air-racer Hikaru Ichijo,Copy !req
22. a pilot invited to the launch ceremony
by Major Roy Focker,Copy !req
23. was accidentally ordered to fly
a Valkyrie fighterCopy !req
24. by 1st Lt. Misa Hayase, a Macross
defense systems operator.Copy !req
25. Over whelmed by his first taste of combat,Copy !req
26. Hikaru was shot down by beams
fired from an enemy pod.Copy !req
27. As the alien forces begin their ground
descent, the fighting enters a brief lull.Copy !req
28. Twenty-four unidentified objects are
currently on a descent course.Copy !req
29. You weren't able to detect them until now?Copy !req
30. No, sir.Copy !req
31. Reaction weaponry used when intercepting the
first attack wave has made radar ineffective.Copy !req
32. So the first wave was just a decoy.
These guys are good...Copy !req
33. Hayase, can't you call
Major Focker back here?Copy !req
34. No, sir. He's still fighting off the
first wave and can't break away.Copy !req
35. I see...Copy !req
36. The 24 targets appear to have splashed
down in the sea 30 km ahead of us.Copy !req
37. Ask the Prometheus to send out
some patrol helicopters.Copy !req
38. They should be arriving in five minutes, sir.Copy !req
39. That was good thinking.Copy !req
40. Thank you.Copy !req
41. CountdownCopy !req
42. What is that thing?Copy !req
43. An alien robot?Copy !req
44. You gotta be kidding!Copy !req
45. It looks like it's stopped.Copy !req
46. Yeah...Copy !req
47. Hey, Minmay!Copy !req
48. Be careful, Yotchan!Copy !req
49. What if that thing had stepped
on you? I swear...Copy !req
50. Hey! Let's go take a look at the robot!Copy !req
51. Go? Go where?Copy !req
52. The third floor! Your room!Copy !req
53. Wait! I'm coming, too!Copy !req
54. Come right back, you hear?Copy !req
55. Okay!Copy !req
56. This is patrol helicopter PHP-202.Copy !req
57. We are currently over the ocean.Copy !req
58. Roger. Be careful.Copy !req
59. They've opened fire!Copy !req
60. Turn back! Hurry!Copy !req
61. The patrol helicopters have been shot down.Copy !req
62. It looks like they're trying to
surround the island.Copy !req
63. We have to stay alert.Copy !req
64. Yes, sir.Copy !req
65. Well, well, well.Copy !req
66. I must say, it's always a pleasure to
be on this splendid bridge.Copy !req
67. Sir.Copy !req
68. So, Global...Copy !req
69. Just when do you plan on
launching the Macross?Copy !req
70. Launching it, sir?Copy !req
71. The ship still hasn't been
properly outfitted.Copy !req
72. We've put a great deal of money into
repairing this spaceship.Copy !req
73. We'd hate to see it destroyed
sitting on the ground.Copy !req
74. I understand, sir, but...Copy !req
75. That's your response for everything,
isn't it Global?Copy !req
76. Say, Kim, are we going straight into space?
That's your response for everything,
isn't it Global?Copy !req
77. ARMD II is still combat-ready; launch
and dock with it immediately!Copy !req
78. It sure looks that way.
ARMD II is still combat-ready; launch
and dock with it immediately!Copy !req
79. It sure looks that way.
Why have you just been sitting
here this whole time?Copy !req
80. Oh, no!
Why have you just been sitting
here this whole time?Copy !req
81. What do you mean, "Oh, no"?
Why have you just been sitting
here this whole time?Copy !req
82. Up until yesterday, you were so excited
about going up into space!Copy !req
83. Yeah... I was, but...
What can the Macross accomplish by
staying here and not launching?Copy !req
84. What can the Macross accomplish by
staying here and not launching?Copy !req
85. But we have reports thatCopy !req
86. the enemy forces have warships even
bigger than the Macross, and...Copy !req
87. It's not about size, is it?Copy !req
88. It's about having the ambition
to get the job done!Copy !req
89. But, sir...Copy !req
90. Or are you telling me, Global,Copy !req
91. that the Macross will be defeated
without even putting up a fight?Copy !req
92. No, sir.Copy !req
93. Then launch.Copy !req
94. Yes, sir.Copy !req
95. Very well.Copy !req
96. You just leave the negotiations with
these aliens to us politicians.Copy !req
97. You all do your best, too, all right?Copy !req
98. In other words, we're just buying time...Copy !req
99. It's huge!Copy !req
100. Yotchan!Copy !req
101. It's moving!
Hey, it's moving!Copy !req
102. Its head broke!Copy !req
103. Yeah...Copy !req
104. No one's inside?Copy !req
105. Strange, huh?Copy !req
106. It's moving again!Copy !req
107. What the heck is going on here?Copy !req
108. Um, excuse me!Copy !req
109. What does this look like to you?Copy !req
110. What does it look like?Copy !req
111. Well, obviously, it's a big...Copy !req
112. Aah. That's what I thought.Copy !req
113. Damn! The plane turned
into a frickin' robot!Copy !req
114. The plane turned into a robot?Copy !req
115. How is that possible?Copy !req
116. That's what I wanna know! Jeez...Copy !req
117. What? But you're the pilot, aren't you?Copy !req
118. Just because I'm a pilot doesn't
mean I'm a soldier, does it?Copy !req
119. What? Then why are you...Copy !req
120. How can I put this?Copy !req
121. He stole it!Copy !req
122. Yotchan!Copy !req
123. Hey! Anyway, it's gotten pretty banged up...Copy !req
124. But isn't it expensive?Copy !req
125. Yeah, I'd say.Copy !req
126. Hey, buddy! How about gettin' off the road?Copy !req
127. I'm tryin' to evacuate to the shelter!Copy !req
128. Yes, sir! I'll get right to it!Copy !req
129. Well, bye!Copy !req
130. Take care, okay?Copy !req
131. Yeah.Copy !req
132. I sure hope I can get this thing to work...Copy !req
133. All right, let's give it a shot!Copy !req
134. Look out!Copy !req
135. Help!Copy !req
136. Yotchan, are you okay?Copy !req

199. Any way, do you know the
location of the VT-102?Copy !req
200. VT-102 made an emergency landing
in the city a while ago.Copy !req
201. Really? That's good news!Copy !req

216. Whoa, that's some change!Copy !req
217. It turned into a robot!Copy !req
218. It sure did.Copy !req
219. Well, Hikaru? How was your first time
getting shot down?Copy !req
220. Not very good, obviously!Copy !req
221. And what's with these fighter planes
turning into robots?Copy !req
222. I can't really get into that right now.Copy !req
223. What, is it some military secret?Copy !req
224. Bingo.Copy !req
225. So why don't you join up?Copy !req
226. Get real! And would you please
do something about this?Copy !req
227. Calm down. I'll have you fixed up

238. It looks like we're the last ones.Copy !req
239. Right. We'd better hurry up
and get out of here.Copy !req
240. Hey, Hikaru!Copy !req
241. You take after me more and more

242. That's not true at all!Copy !req

249. Yes, sir!Copy !req
250. Well, I guess we should get going, too.Copy !req
251. That's easy for you to say.
I don't know how to pilot a robot!Copy !req
252. Oh, right. Okay, change to Gerwalk mode.
It's the lever marked "G" on your left.Copy !req
253. This one?Copy !req
254. The controls for this aren't that much
different from a fighter plane.Copy !req
255. Really?Copy !req
256. You okay?Copy !req
257. Oh, no!Copy !req
258. I left something at your house, Auntie!
I'm going to go back for it!Copy !req
259. No, Minmay. It's too dangerous.Copy !req
260. I'll be fine. I'll be right back!Copy !req
261. Be careful!Copy !req
262. All ships have completed
preparations for barrage!Copy !req
263. Good. Begin firing, and have the
Regult platoons move in.Copy !req
264. Capture the enemy battleship!Copy !req
265. What was that?Copy !req
266. I'm not sure, but I think it
was an enemy attack.Copy !req
267. It looks like the city got hit
pretty hard, huh?Copy !req
268. I'm worried about that girl and her family.
Wanna go take a look?Copy !req
269. Okay.Copy !req
270. What was that attack just now?Copy !req
271. It came from orbit!Copy !req
272. They're attacking us from above?Copy !req
273. Captain! Multiple enemy units are
closing in. It's a ground assault!Copy !req
274. What?Copy !req
275. Gunsight One to all Valkyrie.Copy !req
276. Assume B-mode and destroy
enemy ground units!Copy !req
277. Brown Squadron, roger!Copy !req
278. Cerulean Squadron, roger!Copy !req
279. Hikaru! Take care of the girl!Copy !req
280. How am I supposed to do that?Copy !req
281. Aah, quit your bitching!Copy !req
282. I'll draw off the enemy fire!
C'mon, move it!Copy !req
283. Grab on! Hurry!Copy !req
284. Hey, you're that guy.Copy !req
285. Just do it!Copy !req
286. All right...Copy !req
287. Get out of here!Copy !req
288. Everything all right?Copy !req
289. Yeah, I think so.Copy !req
290. Not you! The girl!Copy !req
291. She's okay... For now.Copy !req
292. Good! I don't care if you die,
just be sure that she stays safe.Copy !req
293. So that's how it is, huh?Copy !req
294. Yup, that's how it is.Copy !req
295. Well, see you later.Copy !req
296. Oh, no! I forgot that this plane
is a two-seater!Copy !req
297. Are you all right?Copy !req
298. Yes.Copy !req
299. Thank you.Copy !req
300. Thank goodness!Copy !req
301. Huh? Oh, no! My hair's a mess!Copy !req
302. Which is more important,
your hair or your life?Copy !req
303. Huh?Copy !req
304. My hair, of course!Copy !req
305. I knew it!Copy !req
306. It... It can't be!Copy !req
307. So now you know.Copy !req
308. The Battroids were built to
fight these giants.Copy !req
309. That's impossible!Copy !req
310. Still, I had no idea they looked
just like humans.Copy !req
311. Rocket engines are standing by
and ready to begin liftoff.Copy !req
312. What's the status on the
civilian evacuation?Copy !req
313. All the island's civilians have
evacuated to the shelters.Copy !req
314. Very well. Fire main rockets.
Take us up at once!Copy !req
315. I wonder if it will work this time.Copy !req
316. Don't worry. This propulsion system
was made on Earth.Copy !req
317. Let's go!Copy !req
318. Yes, sir!Copy !req
319. Skull Leader, provide escort for the Macross.Copy !req
320. Roger that. Let's go, Hikaru!Copy !req
321. What's the matter, Hikaru? Take off!Copy !req
322. Are you coming or not? Hikaru!Copy !req
323. Through the sudden appearance
of the giant alien,Copy !req
324. and the sight of it being killed
before his very eyesCopy !req
325. Hikaru came to know the
meaning of true terror.Copy !req
326. Major Focker's calls went unheard
as Hikaru sat, lost in thought.Copy !req
327. Faced with the overwhelming power
of the enemy forces,Copy !req
328. Captain Global decides to
execute a space fold.Copy !req
329. However, neither the enemy forces
nor Captain GlobalCopy !req
330. could have known the effects that
this first fold would have.Copy !req
331. The Macross will find itself facing an
altogether new kind of battle.Copy !req
332. Next time on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:Copy !req
333. I won't follow anymoreCopy !req
334. The shadow you cast as you run awayCopy !req
335. We all keep runningCopy !req
336. But we still can't see the goalCopy !req
337. What awaits us after today?Copy !req
338. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?Copy !req
339. Even now, I keep running towardCopy !req
340. The light that shines so far awayCopy !req
