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. It is the year 2009.
Copy !req
15. The alien spacecraft that fell
to Earth 10 years ago
Copy !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 fighter
Copy !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. Countdown
Copy !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. Up until yesterday, you were so excited
about going up into space!
What can the Macross accomplish by
staying here and not launching?
Copy !req
84. Yeah... I was, but...
What can the Macross accomplish by
staying here and not launching?
Copy !req
85. What can the Macross accomplish by
staying here and not launching?
Copy !req
86. But we have reports that
Copy !req
87. the enemy forces have warships even
bigger than the Macross, and...
Copy !req
88. It's not about size, is it?
Copy !req
89. It's about having the ambition
to get the job done!
Copy !req
90. But, sir...
Copy !req
91. Or are you telling me, Global,
Copy !req
92. that the Macross will be defeated
without even putting up a fight?
Copy !req
93. No, sir.
Copy !req
94. Then launch.
Copy !req
95. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
96. Very well.
Copy !req
97. You just leave the negotiations with
these aliens to us politicians.
Copy !req
98. You all do your best, too, all right?
Copy !req
99. In other words, we're just buying time...
Copy !req
100. It's huge!
Copy !req
101. Yotchan!
Copy !req
102. It's moving!
Hey, it's moving!
Copy !req
103. Its head broke!
Copy !req
104. Yeah...
Copy !req
105. No one's inside?
Copy !req
106. Strange, huh?
Copy !req
107. It's moving again!
Copy !req
108. What the heck is going on here?
Copy !req
109. Um, excuse me!
Copy !req
110. What does this look like to you?
Copy !req
111. What does it look like?
Copy !req
112. Well, obviously, it's a big...
Copy !req
113. Aah. That's what I thought.
Copy !req
114. Damn! The plane turned
into a frickin' robot!
Copy !req
115. The plane turned into a robot?
Copy !req
116. How is that possible?
Copy !req
117. That's what I wanna know! Jeez...
Copy !req
118. What? But you're the pilot, aren't you?
Copy !req
119. Just because I'm a pilot doesn't
mean I'm a soldier, does it?
Copy !req
120. What? Then why are you...
Copy !req
121. How can I put this?
Copy !req
122. He stole it!
Copy !req
123. Yotchan!
Copy !req
124. Hey! Anyway, it's gotten pretty banged up...
Copy !req
125. But isn't it expensive?
Copy !req
126. Yeah, I'd say.
Copy !req
127. Hey, buddy! How about gettin' off the road?
Copy !req
128. I'm tryin' to evacuate to the shelter!
Copy !req
129. Yes, sir! I'll get right to it!
Copy !req
130. Well, bye!
Copy !req
131. Take care, okay?
Copy !req
132. Yeah.
Copy !req
133. I sure hope I can get this thing to work...
Copy !req
134. All right, let's give it a shot!
Copy !req
135. Look out!
Copy !req
136. Help!
Copy !req
137. Yotchan, are you okay?
Copy !req
138. Yup.
Copy !req
139. Are you all right, miss?
Copy !req
140. Yes, I think so.
Copy !req
141. Thank goodness.
Copy !req
142. Gravity control systems 1 through 48,
are you in the clear?
Copy !req
143. No. 4 is clear.
Copy !req
144. Understood.

have completed fighter retrieval
Copy !req
156. and are now proceeding to
the rendezvous point.
Copy !req
157. Claudia, what's our reactor status?
Copy !req
158. We can launch at any time.
Copy !req
159. Very well.
Copy !req
160. All hands, commence liftoff!

Copy !req
173. Good. That's it...
Copy !req
174. What in the world is happening?
Copy !req
175. I don't know, sir!
Copy !req
176. Captain! The bow!
Copy !req
177. What is it?
Copy !req
178. What are those?
Copy !req
179. They appear to be the
gravity control systems.
Copy !req
180. The gravity control systems?
Copy !req
181. It can't be!
Copy !req
182. Is everyone all right?
Copy !req
183. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
184. Kim, Shammy, get me a damage report!
Copy !req
185. Roger.
Copy !req
186. What a terrible ship!
Copy !req
187. That's what we get for trying to
use salvaged parts, sir.
Copy !req
188. That's for sure.
Copy !req
189. Okay!
Copy !req
190. Stop, stop! Stop!
Copy !req
191. Skull Leader to Gunsight One.
Copy !req
192. Skull Leader to Gunsight One.
Copy !req
193. We've sent the enemy air forces
back where they came from.
Copy !req
194. We are heading back to the ship.
Copy !req
195. Roger that, Major.
Copy !req
196. How many did you get?
Copy !req
197. Only 10.
Copy !req
198. So-so, huh?
Copy !req
199. Well, I haven't seen battle in two years!
Copy !req
200. Any way, do you know the
location of the VT-102?
Copy !req
201. VT-102 made an emergency landing
in the city a while ago.
Copy !req
202. Really? That's good news!
Copy !req
203. Is there something the matter
with the VT-102?
Copy !req
204. I'll explain later.
Copy !req
205. That's it, over and out!
Copy !req
206. Skull Leader to all units.
Copy !req
207. You guys head back to the Prometheus.
I've gotta make a quick stop first.
Copy !req
208. Roger.
Copy !req
209. Roger.
Copy !req
210. Okay, now... Where'd that idiot get to?
Copy !req
211. Over there, huh?
Copy !req
212. VT-102, come in.
Copy !req
213. 102! Hikaru! Do you read me?
Copy !req
214. Sempai!
Copy !req
215. You don't give up, do you?
Copy !req
216. Yeah. Sorry to disappoint you,
but I'm still alive.
Copy !req
217. Whoa, that's some change!
Copy !req
218. It turned into a robot!
Copy !req
219. It sure did.
Copy !req
220. Well, Hikaru? How was your first time
getting shot down?
Copy !req
221. Not very good, obviously!
Copy !req
222. And what's with these fighter planes
turning into robots?
Copy !req
223. I can't really get into that right now.
Copy !req
224. What, is it some military secret?
Copy !req
225. Bingo.
Copy !req
226. So why don't you join up?
Copy !req
227. Get real! And would you please
do something about this?
Copy !req
228. Calm down. I'll have you fixed up
in five minutes.
Copy !req
229. All right, that should do it.
Copy !req
230. Put both feet on the pedals
and press slowly.
Copy !req
231. Okay. Like this?
Copy !req
232. Good job.
Copy !req
233. Is it fixed?
Copy !req
234. Yes. Thank you for your help.
Copy !req
235. Minmay, let's go.
Copy !req
236. Okay! Well, see you!
Copy !req
237. Sure thing. Be careful!
Copy !req
238. Auntie, wait!
Copy !req
239. It looks like we're the last ones.
Copy !req
240. Right. We'd better hurry up
and get out of here.
Copy !req
241. Hey, Hikaru!
Copy !req
242. You take after me more and more
every day! You dog!
Copy !req
243. That's not true at all!
Copy !req
244. Easy there, big guy.
Copy !req
245. Jeez...
Copy !req
246. Regult platoons have made landfall.
Copy !req
247. Understood.
Copy !req
248. All ships, prepare for barrage.
Copy !req
249. Provide support for ground units.
Copy !req
250. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
251. Well, I guess we should get going, too.
Copy !req
252. That's easy for you to say.
I don't know how to pilot a robot!
Copy !req
253. Oh, right. Okay, change to Gerwalk mode.
It's the lever marked "G" on your left.
Copy !req
254. This one?
Copy !req
255. The controls for this aren't that much
different from a fighter plane.
Copy !req
256. Really?
Copy !req
257. You okay?
Copy !req
258. Oh, no!
Copy !req
259. I left something at your house, Auntie!
I'm going to go back for it!
Copy !req
260. No, Minmay. It's too dangerous.
Copy !req
261. I'll be fine. I'll be right back!
Copy !req
262. Be careful!
Copy !req
263. All ships have completed
preparations for barrage!
Copy !req
264. Good. Begin firing, and have the
Regult platoons move in.
Copy !req
265. Capture the enemy battleship!
Copy !req
266. What was that?
Copy !req
267. I'm not sure, but I think it
was an enemy attack.
Copy !req
268. It looks like the city got hit
pretty hard, huh?
Copy !req
269. I'm worried about that girl and her family.
Wanna go take a look?
Copy !req
270. Okay.
Copy !req
271. What was that attack just now?
Copy !req
272. It came from orbit!
Copy !req
273. They're attacking us from above?
Copy !req
274. Captain! Multiple enemy units are
closing in. It's a ground assault!
Copy !req
275. What?
Copy !req
276. Gunsight One to all Valkyrie.
Copy !req
277. Assume B-mode and destroy
enemy ground units!
Copy !req
278. Brown Squadron, roger!
Copy !req
279. Cerulean Squadron, roger!
Copy !req
280. Hikaru! Take care of the girl!
Copy !req
281. How am I supposed to do that?
Copy !req
282. Aah, quit your bitching!
Copy !req
283. I'll draw off the enemy fire!
C'mon, move it!
Copy !req
284. Grab on! Hurry!
Copy !req
285. Hey, you're that guy.
Copy !req
286. Just do it!
Copy !req
287. All right...
Copy !req
288. Get out of here!
Copy !req
289. Everything all right?
Copy !req
290. Yeah, I think so.
Copy !req
291. Not you! The girl!
Copy !req
292. She's okay... For now.
Copy !req
293. Good! I don't care if you die,
just be sure that she stays safe.
Copy !req
294. So that's how it is, huh?
Copy !req
295. Yup, that's how it is.
Copy !req
296. Well, see you later.
Copy !req
297. Oh, no! I forgot that this plane
is a two-seater!
Copy !req
298. Are you all right?
Copy !req
299. Yes.
Copy !req
300. Thank you.
Copy !req
301. Thank goodness!
Copy !req
302. Huh? Oh, no! My hair's a mess!
Copy !req
303. Which is more important,
your hair or your life?
Copy !req
304. Huh?
Copy !req
305. My hair, of course!
Copy !req
306. I knew it!
Copy !req
307. It... It can't be!
Copy !req
308. So now you know.
Copy !req
309. The Battroids were built to
fight these giants.
Copy !req
310. That's impossible!
Copy !req
311. Still, I had no idea they looked
just like humans.
Copy !req
312. Rocket engines are standing by
and ready to begin liftoff.
Copy !req
313. What's the status on the
civilian evacuation?
Copy !req
314. All the island's civilians have
evacuated to the shelters.
Copy !req
315. Very well. Fire main rockets.
Take us up at once!
Copy !req
316. I wonder if it will work this time.
Copy !req
317. Don't worry. This propulsion system
was made on Earth.
Copy !req
318. Let's go!
Copy !req
319. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
320. Skull Leader, provide escort for the Macross.
Copy !req
321. Roger that. Let's go, Hikaru!
Copy !req
322. What's the matter, Hikaru? Take off!
Copy !req
323. Are you coming or not? Hikaru!
Copy !req
324. Through the sudden appearance
of the giant alien,
Copy !req
325. and the sight of it being killed
before his very eyes
Copy !req
326. Hikaru came to know the
meaning of true terror.
Copy !req
327. Major Focker's calls went unheard
as Hikaru sat, lost in thought.
Copy !req
328. Faced with the overwhelming power
of the enemy forces,
Copy !req
329. Captain Global decides to
execute a space fold.
Copy !req
330. However, neither the enemy forces
nor Captain Global
Copy !req
331. could have known the effects that
this first fold would have.
Copy !req
332. The Macross will find itself facing an
altogether new kind of battle.
Copy !req
333. Next time on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:
Copy !req
334. "Space Fold"
Copy !req
335. I won't follow anymore
Copy !req
336. The shadow you cast as you run away
Copy !req
337. We all keep running
Copy !req
338. But we still can't see the goal
Copy !req
339. What awaits us after today?
Copy !req
340. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?
Copy !req
341. Even now, I keep running toward
Copy !req
342. The light that shines so far away
Copy !req
