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 war.
Copy !req
21. Meanwhile, Lynn Minmay, a young girl
attending the launch ceremony,
Copy !req
22. and Hikaru Ichijo, a civilian pilot,
Copy !req
23. have also found themselves
drawn into the conflict.
Copy !req
24. Space Fold
Copy !req
25. At this moment, the Macross is
making its way into space.
Copy !req
26. Hikaru!
Copy !req
27. Hikaru!
Copy !req
28. I guess all this excitement was
a little too much for him.
Copy !req
29. This is Skull Leader.
Copy !req
30. I left something on South Ataria Island,
and I'm going back to get it.
Copy !req
31. Have some other squadron fly
escort for the Macross.
Copy !req
32. What will you be getting?
Copy !req
33. Well... I kinda left Valkyrie VT-102
and its pilot behind.
Copy !req
34. VT-102?
Copy !req
35. Now that you mention it, there was
something strange about that pilot.
Copy !req
36. You think so, too, huh?
Well, it's not so surprising.
Copy !req
37. After all, he is a civilian.
Copy !req
38. A civilian?
Copy !req
39. Oh, no!
Copy !req
40. No way!
Copy !req
41. This isn't something I'd want
a girl to have to see...
Copy !req
42. What's wrong?
Copy !req
43. You look like you're shaking.
Copy !req
44. What? What is it?
Copy !req
45. Don't look!
Copy !req
46. What? Why not?
Copy !req
47. Just don't look!
Copy !req
48. Hey, Hikaru!
Copy !req
49. How long do you plan on
staying here goofing off?
Copy !req
50. This is the type that goes for you, huh?
Talk about bad luck.
Copy !req
51. You've gotta be kidding me!
Copy !req
52. What's going on?
Copy !req
53. Pretty handy, don't you think?
Copy !req
54. This is control. We are now
engaging main thrusters.
Copy !req
55. Prepare for retrieval of Valkyrie squadron.
All units, move to landing positions.
Copy !req
56. This is Mountain Three.
I am on the landing line.
Copy !req
57. You're cleared to land.
Copy !req
58. Hayase, are all Valkyrie accounted for?
Copy !req
59. Just a moment, sir.
Copy !req
60. All that's left is Major Focker and
the civilian pilot in VT-102.
Copy !req
61. Knowing Focker, I'm sure he's all right.
Copy !req
62. Vanessa, where are ARMD I and ARMD II?
Copy !req
63. They are en route to the rendezvous point
and currently decelerating.
Copy !req
64. I estimate contact in 20 minutes.
Copy !req
65. Very good.
Copy !req
66. Claudia, how are we doing?
Copy !req
67. Right on schedule, sir.
Copy !req
68. But it's strange, isn't it, captain?
Copy !req
69. If the enemy fleet can launch that
kind of attack from orbit,
Copy !req
70. then why aren't they firing on us now?
Copy !req
71. So that's bothering you too, eh?
Copy !req
72. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
73. They may be toying with us.
Copy !req
74. You can't be serious! Toying with us?
Copy !req
75. It's just a feeling.
Copy !req
76. Pay it no mind.
Copy !req
77. Quit fooling around!
I'm not going to go to the Macross!
Copy !req
78. Idiot! If you take her back to the island,
you'll be risking her life!
Copy !req
79. And you call yourself a man?
Copy !req
80. Um, my aunt and uncle are on
the island, in the shelter.
Copy !req
81. If they're in the shelter, they'll be fine!
Even if this does turn into an all-out war.
Copy !req
82. But I really would like to go
back to the island...
Copy !req
83. Once the fighting's over,
I'll take you back myself.
Copy !req
84. That is what frightens me!
Copy !req
85. Well, what he means is...
Copy !req
86. This is Skull Leader!
Copy !req
87. Did you find what you'd left behind?
Copy !req
88. Yeah. The enemy had scared him so bad,
he was falling over himself!
Copy !req
89. I was not!
Copy !req
90. So this is the civilian?
Copy !req
91. That would explain why he
doesn't know anything.
Copy !req
92. Hey, what's with the old lady?
Copy !req
93. "Old lady"?
Copy !req
94. She's the Macross' flight control officer.
Copy !req
95. So, even Hikaru thinks she
looks like an old lady?
Copy !req
96. Major Focker! I will expect
a thorough explanation
Copy !req
97. as to why you let a civilian
board the VT-102.
Copy !req
98. Ooh, scary!
Copy !req
99. And you, Mr. Ichijo!
This isn't over for you by a long shot!
Copy !req
100. What's her problem?
Copy !req
101. Maybe you should just apologize.
People like her can be pretty scary.
Copy !req
102. I'm comin' in!
Copy !req
103. Requesting instructions... old lady!
Copy !req
104. Roger. We'd appreciate it if you didn't
kill yourself when you land.
Copy !req
105. Retrieval of Regult platoon
is now in progress.
Copy !req
106. Only half of them are unharmed...
Copy !req
107. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
108. What's the enemy ship doing?
Copy !req
109. It's currently ascending through the
planet's upper atmosphere.
Copy !req
110. They appear be trying to rendezvous
with the space fleet from earlier.
Copy !req
111. Orders, sir?
Copy !req
112. It would be simple to shoot them down,
but that ship interests me.
Copy !req
113. If they enter orbit, there's a possibility
they will execute a fold and escape.
Copy !req
114. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
115. We'll have to launch a containment attack
before they can join up with the others.
Copy !req
116. All ships, prepare to fire!
Copy !req
117. But why do you have to kill one another?
Copy !req
118. That's the nature of war.
Copy !req
119. I just don't understand the military...
Copy !req
120. You did some shooting yourself,
though, didn't you?
Copy !req
121. I never imagined something
like that could be inside.
Copy !req
122. Something like that...
Copy !req
123. Huh? Something like what?
Copy !req
124. What?
Copy !req
125. Uh... Here goes!
Copy !req
126. Well, here we are.
Copy !req
127. Sempai! What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
128. Sempai!
Copy !req
129. Thank you, sempai!
Copy !req
130. Well, I mean, if we left something
like this on the battlefield,
Copy !req
131. it would just get in the way.
So I, uh, had it stashed away.
Copy !req
132. This is the plane from the air show
this morning, isn't it?
Copy !req
133. Rendezvous with ARMD I and
ARMD II is complete.
Copy !req
134. Now moving into docking position.
All hands to emergency stations.
Copy !req
135. Well, I've got work to do.
Copy !req
136. You two, stay right here. If you start
wandering around, you'll get lost.
Copy !req
137. This ship is huge.
Copy !req
138. Now moving into docking alignment.
Copy !req
139. The enemy fleet appears to be regrouping.
Copy !req
140. Very well. Fire a barrage between
the fleet and the battleship!
Copy !req
141. The smaller ships are of no concern,
but do not hit that battleship.
Copy !req
142. Understood! Firing will now commence!
Copy !req
143. Target the enemy fleet!
Aim wide of the battleship!
Copy !req
144. An attack?
Copy !req
145. Yes, sir. It's coming from the same orbit
as before. 12,000 km.
Copy !req
146. ARMD I has been destroyed, along with
the Miranda and the Akishima.
Copy !req
147. Three ships at once?
What's our damage?
Copy !req
148. We've taken no direct hits.
Copy !req
149. All sections are good.
Copy !req
150. What's our position?
Copy !req
151. Sir. We've almost completed
a single orbit.
Copy !req
152. South Ataria Island is 800 km ahead.
Copy !req
153. Our current altitude is 120 km.
Copy !req
154. Claudia, make it look like we're going
to land at South Ataria,
Copy !req
155. then initiate a spatial transfer.
Copy !req
156. You mean the fold system, sir?
But we haven't finished testing it yet!
Copy !req
157. It's definitely a risk.
Copy !req
158. But if we stay here, we'll be destroyed.
Copy !req
159. But sir, it's an alien system!
Copy !req
160. We can't just give up without trying!
Copy !req
161. Put the spatial transfer...
Copy !req
162. I mean, the fold system, on standby!
Copy !req
163. Our target will be the far side of the moon!
Copy !req
164. Check coordinates, then execute fold
directly above the island.
Copy !req
165. You mean, near the surface?
Copy !req
166. The enemy won't see it coming.
Copy !req
167. But shouldn't we get authorization
from U.N. Spacy headquarters?
Copy !req
168. This is an emergency. We'll contact them
after we've reached the moon.
Copy !req
169. But, sir!
Copy !req
170. Enough! You have your orders!
Copy !req
171. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
172. Fold system, stand by.
Copy !req
173. All hands to emergency stations.
Copy !req
174. Power system check shows all green.
We have power convergence.
Copy !req
175. All hands to emergency stations!
All hands to emergency stations!
Copy !req
176. This is not a drill.
Copy !req
177. We will be executing a fold in five minutes.
Copy !req
178. It sure has gotten quiet, hasn't it?
Copy !req
179. I wonder if it's all over.
Copy !req
180. That's one heck of a ruckus,
wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
181. This sure turned into one hell
of a launch ceremony...
Copy !req
182. If it's this bad down here,
things must really be rough topside.
Copy !req
183. I wonder if our shops are all right.
Copy !req
184. Who knows...
Copy !req
185. What happened to Minmay?
Who knows...
Copy !req
186. What happened to Minmay?
Copy !req
187. She hasn't come back yet.
Copy !req
188. There are plenty of other places
she could've escaped to.
Copy !req
189. There's nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
190. I tell ya, that girl's pretty sharp,
you follow me?
Copy !req
191. You're really leaving?
Copy !req
192. You want to go back, too, don't you?
Copy !req
193. But...
Copy !req
194. It's not like I'm forcing you or anything.
Copy !req
195. We are ready for fold.
Copy !req
196. T- minus three minutes to fold execution.
Copy !req
197. I wonder what that means.
Copy !req
198. Dunno. Anyway, we're leaving,
so it's got nothing to do with us.
Copy !req
199. This is just a one-seater, isn't it?
Copy !req
200. We'll be fine. C'mon, hop in.
Copy !req
201. Put this on.
Copy !req
202. Okay.
Copy !req
203. Jeez, can't you even put on
a helmet straight?
Copy !req
204. Hold on tight.
Copy !req
205. To what?
Copy !req
206. I can't see my instruments!
Copy !req
207. Sorry!
Copy !req
208. You shouldn't let a little something
like this scare you!
Copy !req
209. See?
Copy !req
210. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
211. T- minus ten seconds to fold.
Copy !req
212. Nine... Eight...
Copy !req
213. Seven... Six...
Copy !req
214. Five... Four...
Copy !req
215. Three... Two...
Copy !req
216. One... Zero!
Copy !req
217. Execute fold!
Copy !req
218. What's going on?
Copy !req
219. What?
Copy !req
220. They're executing a fold near the surface.
Copy !req
221. Is that even possible?
Copy !req
222. I do not know.
Copy !req
223. Locate their de-fold point at once!
Copy !req
224. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
225. What happened?
Copy !req
226. Switching to backup systems.
Copy !req
227. Captain, I'm picking up an object
below the ship.
Copy !req
228. Of course you are.
This is the far side of the moon.
Copy !req
229. It's much smaller than that, sir.
I'll put it onscreen.
Copy !req
230. The object is closing in!
Copy !req
231. What?
Copy !req
232. No, the ship is moving toward it.
Copy !req
233. Claudia, full reverse! Hurry!
Copy !req
234. I'm trying, but there's no response!
Copy !req
235. This is an emergency!
All hands, brace for impact!
Copy !req
236. We're floating!
Copy !req
237. It's so pretty!
Copy !req
238. Wow!
Copy !req
239. Oh, man. The propeller's useless.
Copy !req
240. It's no good.
Copy !req
241. We must really be in outer space.
Copy !req
242. Is this space?
Copy !req
243. Is that what it looks like to you?
Copy !req
244. Huh? What's that?
Copy !req
245. Well, I'm sure it's nothing important.
Copy !req
246. I can't tell her that we're leaking air.
Copy !req
247. Let's go back.
Copy !req
248. Hey, don't get so worked up.
Copy !req
249. I sure hope the booster works.
Copy !req
250. Here we go.
Copy !req
251. We're moving.
Copy !req
252. I think this is gonna work!
Copy !req
253. Now then, where's the Macross?
Copy !req
254. All right!
Copy !req
255. Okay!
Copy !req
256. Oh, no! We can't get in!
Copy !req
257. What?
Copy !req
258. Perfect!
Copy !req
259. The remaining enemy forces appear
to have been destroyed.
Copy !req
260. What's the status on the
evacuees in the shelter?
Copy !req
261. They're being brought on board.
Copy !req
262. Fortunately, there don't seem to be
many dead or wounded.
Copy !req
263. That's good to hear. Hayase!
Copy !req
264. Sir.
Copy !req
265. Have you been able to contact
U.N. Spacy headquarters?
Copy !req
266. Shammy?
Copy !req
267. I've called them several times, but...
Copy !req
268. No response, huh?
And it's not a malfunction?
Copy !req
269. No. Um, sir? About our current location...
Copy !req
270. You've pinpointed our location?
Where are we?
Copy !req
271. We're just inside the orbit
of the planet Pluto.
Copy !req
272. What?
Copy !req
273. Pluto? It can't be!
Copy !req
274. I said we shouldn't have tried to fold.
Copy !req
275. Captain...
Copy !req
276. Captain!
Copy !req
277. Now, just hold on.
There's no need to worry.
Copy !req
278. If we made it this far out, we can
just fold again and go back.
Copy !req
279. Really, sir?
Copy !req
280. What is it?
Copy !req
281. But!
Copy !req
282. Fine. I'm on my way.
Copy !req
283. Captain?
Copy !req
284. It looks like the fold system has
completely disappeared.
Copy !req
285. Disappeared? You can't be serious!
Copy !req
286. It's gone?
Copy !req
287. But why?
Copy !req
288. But that means we can't go back!
Copy !req
289. It looks like we're in for a long trip.
Copy !req
290. Hikaru and Minmay's joy at being
saved is short-lived.
Copy !req
291. Ironically, the section of the Macross
that they have flown into
Copy !req
292. has been sealed off from the
rest of the giant ship.
Copy !req
293. Not a single person knows where they are.
Copy !req
294. With no means of escaping their
forced confinement,
Copy !req
295. Hikaru and Minmay must watch
as time ticks cruelly away.
Copy !req
296. Next time on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:
Copy !req
297. "Lynn Minmay"
Copy !req
298. I won't follow anymore
Copy !req
299. The shadow you cast as you run away
Copy !req
300. We all keep running
Copy !req
301. But we still can't see the goal
Copy !req
302. What awaits us after today?
Copy !req
303. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?
Copy !req
304. Even now, I keep running toward
Copy !req
305. The light that shines so far away
Copy !req
