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. Life signs: Negative.
Copy !req
15. Energy readings: Negative.
Copy !req
16. An abandoned base, eh?
Copy !req
17. We have reached the rendezvous point!
Copy !req
18. Commander Britai, which forces
shall we be meeting up with?
Copy !req
19. They are from the 109th Branch
of the main Bodol Fleet:
Copy !req
20. The Armored Division for the 7th Sector.
Copy !req
21. But that would mean... No! It couldn't be!
Copy !req
22. Kamjin Kravshera's division!
Copy !req
23. Well done, my Archivist.
Copy !req
24. You mustn't! Aren't you aware
of his battle record?
Copy !req
25. During Operation Mona, he became so
intoxicated that he started a fight,
Copy !req
26. killing or at least wounding
everyone on board!
Copy !req
27. What's more, while he killed every
last enemy in the Isulis Sector,
Copy !req
28. he destroyed two friendly divisions
in the process!
Copy !req
29. Do you know what they call him now?
Copy !req
30. "Kamjin the Ally Killer," you mean?
Copy !req
31. Friendly forces are de-folding!
They're too close!
Copy !req
32. What did I say? That damned Kamjin!
Copy !req
33. It's always this way with him.
I wash my hands of it!
Copy !req
34. Kamjin Kravshera, Armored Division,
7th Sector, reporting for duty.
Copy !req
35. We hit four ships. I win the bet!
Copy !req
36. That share of the booze is mine!
Copy !req
37. Stop it, you fool!
The commander can hear you.
Copy !req
38. Sorry 'bout that!
Copy !req
39. Kamjin! Remember this, and remember it well:
I will not tolerate any reckless behavior!
Copy !req
40. You've had to wait six Terms for this,
Copy !req
41. so don't blow your chance
to get back into combat.
Copy !req
42. So, what do we have to do?
Copy !req
43. Very well.
Copy !req
44. There's an abandoned base on the seventh
orbital body of this system.
Copy !req
45. You are going to the lure the
enemy ship toward it.
Copy !req
46. By that time, you will have planted gravity
mines around the base's perimeter,
Copy !req
47. preventing the enemy from escaping
but capturing them alive.
Copy !req
48. Enemies closing in from 3 o'clock, mark 60!
Copy !req
49. Change course! A.D. Down 20!
Copy !req
50. Yes, Sir!
Copy !req
51. Skull Squadron! Intercept enemy craft
inbound from 5 o'clock, mark 15!
Copy !req
52. This is Skull Leader. Roger that!
Copy !req
53. The enemy is retreating.
Copy !req
54. I guess that's all for today.
Copy !req
55. All units, break off attack and return to ship.
Copy !req
56. They've been attacking us non-stop
for the past three days.
Copy !req
57. Persistent, aren't they?
Copy !req
58. Every time they attack, we're driven
further off course from Earth.
Copy !req
59. Oh, no!
Copy !req
60. What is it? Are you tired?
Copy !req
61. Yeah, this has been going on every day now.
Copy !req
62. I don't think they'll be back for a while,
so you should just head into town and relax.
Copy !req
63. This is a message from the bridge.
Copy !req
64. Just now, we were attacked a force of
a hundred and twenty enemy units,
Copy !req
65. but the 1st, 4th and 7th Valkyrie groups
intercepted and destroyed them all.
Copy !req
66. Our forces took little damage,
and the Macross remains on course.
Copy !req
67. It's been a while. How are you?
That is all.
Copy !req
68. Minmay! Is school over already?
Copy !req
69. They canceled it because of the attack.
Copy !req
70. What's wrong? You don't look so good.
Copy !req
71. It's nothing. But you heard the announcement
just now, didn't you?
Copy !req
72. Uh-huh, we destroyed all the
enemy fighters, right?
Copy !req
73. That was a lie.
Copy !req
74. We didn't get even half of them,
and we lost a lot of men out there.
Copy !req
75. Oh... Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
Copy !req
76. We'll never get anywhere in this war
if we're depressed all the time.
Copy !req
77. C'mon, let's go get some tea or something!
Copy !req
78. I'm having a birthday party
so come, okay?
Copy !req
79. Your birthday's next week, is it?
Copy !req
80. Yeah!
Copy !req
81. It appears to be an automatic telemetry signal.
Copy !req
82. It's originating from Mars Base Salla.
Copy !req
83. But Salla should be abandoned.
Copy !req
84. Their garrison was attacked and wiped out
by anti-U.N. Forces while en route home.
Copy !req
85. Could someone have remained at the base?
Copy !req
86. Lmpossible.
Copy !req
87. However, Salla is extremely large, and there
should still be a lot of supplies there.
Copy !req
88. What kind of damage has the Macross taken?
Copy !req
89. We're still running smoothly, Sir.
Copy !req
90. How far off course from Earth have we gotten?
Copy !req
91. Sixteen degrees toward Mars, Sir.
Copy !req
92. So going to Mars wouldn't put us
that far out of our way...
Copy !req
93. This is a good opportunity
to stock up on supplies.
Copy !req
94. Alter our heading and set course for Mars!
Copy !req
95. That big red planet there is Mars.
That's where I'm going next week.
Copy !req
96. So it's for sure, 2nd Lieutenant Riber?
You're going to Mars?
Copy !req
97. That's right. After all those applications,
I've finally been approved.
Copy !req
98. I'm sure your dad went through a lot
of trouble to help me out as well.
Copy !req
99. No, not at all...
And I'm happy for you.
Copy !req
100. I may be a soldier, but I'm just
no good at fighting.
Copy !req
101. I'm a lot more suited to being assigned
to an observation base.
Copy !req
102. Yeah...
Copy !req
103. Whoops! Don't go telling your dad that, okay?
Copy !req
104. Of course I won't! I won't tell anyone!
Copy !req
105. But this means we can't see
each anymore, doesn't it?
Copy !req
106. It won't be long before everyone
will be able to get to Mars.
Copy !req
107. That's it! I'll join the army and go to Mars too!
Copy !req
108. I hope you can get there soon.
Copy !req
109. Don't be too long, okay?
Copy !req
110. Take care of yourself!
Copy !req
111. Hayase...
Copy !req
112. Hayase!
Copy !req
113. Send out a Cat's Eye recon plane.
Copy !req
114. Aye, Sir!
Copy !req
115. The base and the surrounding area are all clear.
Copy !req
116. This is Gerao in the scout Regult
to Captain Kamjin.
Copy !req
117. A recon unit is headed your way.
Copy !req
118. The enemy ship is descending.
Copy !req
119. It's down.
Copy !req
120. The ship has landed, but it's outside
the range of our gravity mines.
Copy !req
121. Calm yourself. It won't be long before the
enemy moves closer to the base.
Copy !req
122. When they do, they'll come into
range of the gravity mines,
Copy !req
123. and they'll never lift off again.
Copy !req
124. Destroid forces, fan out and secure the supplies!
Copy !req
125. Valkyrie units, guard the transport vehicles!
Copy !req
126. The base perimeter is all clear.
Copy !req
127. We're moving in to guard the transports.
Copy !req
128. Supply transport is underway.
Copy !req
129. Move the Macross closer to the base.
Copy !req
130. Yes, Sir.
Copy !req
131. Yes, that's it.
Copy !req
132. The moment you step into our trap,
it's time for battle!
Copy !req
133. Sir, I'd like permission to go to the base as well.
Copy !req
134. You?
Copy !req
135. I want to find out what started that transmission.
Copy !req
136. No, you...
Copy !req
137. No, you...
What if there are some survivors?
Copy !req
138. I'll cover her position, Captain.
Copy !req
139. Very well. Permission granted.
Copy !req
140. The enemy ship is now within
range of the gravity mines.
Copy !req
141. We just have to be patient a little while longer.
Copy !req
142. Sempai, well, do you mind if I take
some leave next week?
Copy !req
143. Well, yeah, everyone in our squadron
is off next week.
Copy !req
144. They all got invitations to little miss
Minmay's birthday party.
Copy !req
145. Myself included!
Copy !req
146. Who's out there doing all this
unnecessary chatting?
Copy !req
147. Claudia!
Copy !req
148. What, it's not the old lady as usual?
Copy !req
149. The person you're referring to is currently
driving past your feet.
Copy !req
150. This was started up very recently.
Copy !req
151. But how? This place is abandoned.
Copy !req
152. Gerao, how much longer?
Copy !req
153. Energy levels are at seventy percent.
It won't be long now.
Copy !req
154. Damn it! This is most irritating...
Copy !req
155. Captain, I can't take it anymore!
I'm going on ahead!
Copy !req
156. What?
Copy !req
157. Bastard! Even I am being patient, yet you...
Copy !req
158. Idiot! This happened because
you disobeyed me.
Copy !req
159. All right, everyone listen up!
Copy !req
160. There will be no more stunts like that!
Copy !req
161. An abnormal tremor has been detected
in the mountain range.
Copy !req
162. It looks like an explosion.
Copy !req
163. An explosion?
Copy !req
164. Send the Cat's Eye out there at once!
Copy !req
165. Cat's Eye 207, please investigate the area
fifteen kilometers out at 11 o'clock.
Copy !req
166. Cat's Eye 207, roger.
Copy !req
167. They've noticed something.
Copy !req
168. How much longer?
Copy !req
169. Another ten percent.
Copy !req
170. Damn it!
Copy !req
171. I've finished analyzing the data from the
Cat's Eye. I'll put it on screen.
Copy !req
172. What? It's a huge force of battlepods!
Copy !req
173. Yes, it looks to be at least a thousand!
Copy !req
174. Claudia! Put the ship on battle alert!
Copy !req
175. All hands, battle stations!
I repeat, all hands, battle stations!
Copy !req
176. Captain, will we be able to repel them all?
Copy !req
177. Lmpossible, there are just too many.
Copy !req
178. Take off and get us out of here!
Copy !req
179. Yes, Sir!
Copy !req
180. Gravity control system, stand by!
Copy !req
181. We're not lifting off!
Copy !req
182. Is it broken again?
Copy !req
183. No, Sir, the system's functioning properly.
Copy !req
184. Wait! There's something buried
deep underground!
Copy !req
185. It looks like it's suppressing the
Macross's gravity control system!
Copy !req
186. What?
Copy !req
187. It's a trap!
Copy !req
188. Engines, all stop!
Copy !req
189. Well?
Copy !req
190. Sir!
Copy !req
191. Captain Kamjin, the gravity mines are
now running at full effectiveness.
Copy !req
192. Our prey is caught firmly in their trap.
Copy !req
193. Good! All right you bastards,
move out and attack!
Copy !req
194. A massive enemy assault force is
closing on us at high speed!
Copy !req
195. They've come.
Copy !req
196. Defense forces are already moving to intercept.
Copy !req
197. But at this rate...
Copy !req
198. Vanessa, show me the trap again.
Copy !req
199. Aye, Sir.
Copy !req
200. Three kilometers below ground, eh?
Copy !req
201. If it's that far underground, there's no way
for the Macross to disable it.
Copy !req
202. Why don't we just use the main rockets to lift off?
Copy !req
203. Dummy! The main rockets were damaged in
battle three days ago, so we can't use them!
Copy !req
204. The enemy assault force is
entering the red zone.
Copy !req
205. If we can't take off, we're going
to make a really easy target.
Copy !req
206. The target can't fly, so let's get rid of
some of these pesky little ones.
Copy !req
207. Charge!
Copy !req
208. Come and get me!
Copy !req
209. Destroid groups 6, 8 and 17 are destroyed.
The rest are heavily damaged.
Copy !req
210. Wait! We may be able to disable
that trap after all.
Copy !req
211. But how if it's underground?
Copy !req
212. The reactor! Salla's reactor is located
deep beneath the base!
Copy !req
213. If we can blow it up...
Copy !req
214. One moment, please.
Copy !req
215. It looks like it could work.
Copy !req
216. All right, begin the operation at once!
Copy !req
217. Have Hayase activate the reactor!
Copy !req
218. Yes, Sir!
Copy !req
219. Blow it up? The base?
Copy !req
220. I want you to put the base's reactor
into overload so we can destroy
Copy !req
221. the devices that are neutralizing
our gravity control system.
Copy !req
222. You're the only one there.
Copy !req
223. Do this for the 70,000 people we
have on board the Macross!
Copy !req
224. I don't think she can do it.
Copy !req
225. Contact Focker!
Copy !req
226. Please wait! I'll do it.
Copy !req
227. It can't be anyone else.
I'll... I'll do it myself!
Copy !req
228. Reactant infusion has reached extreme levels!
Danger! Danger!
Copy !req
229. All regulatory systems are in the red!
The reactor has begun to overload!
Copy !req
230. Fifteen minutes until detonation!
Copy !req
231. All personnel, evacuate!
All personnel, evacuate!
Copy !req
232. It looks like she's done it.
Copy !req
233. Order the Destroid groups to pull back.
Copy !req
234. And try to lure the enemy to the base,
Copy !req
235. so we can take a couple of them
out while we're at it.
Copy !req
236. Yes, Sir.
Copy !req
237. What? They're falling back already?
They've barely put up a fight!
Copy !req
238. Victory is ours!
Copy !req
239. 1st Lieutenant Hayase, get out of there!
Copy !req
240. I'm sorry, Riber.
Copy !req
241. Alert! Engaging bulkheads to contain
alpha-particle outflow!
Copy !req
242. Riber...
Copy !req
243. Eight minutes to detonation.
Copy !req
244. Riber, I finally made it.
Copy !req
245. 1st Lieutenant Hayase, please come in!
Copy !req
246. Misa! Misa, come in! Misa!
Copy !req
247. Send someone in there to get her!
Copy !req
248. 1st Lt. Hayase is still inside the building,
and we have to rescue her!
Copy !req
249. Hikaru, you're up.
Copy !req
250. Huh? Me?
Copy !req
251. This time, the object is to save someone's life.
Copy !req
252. I figured that would be easier for you.
Copy !req
253. I'm not too crazy about having to
save 1st Lt. Hayase though.
Copy !req
254. Quit bein' unreasonable!
Copy !req
255. Fine, I got it. I'll give it a shot!
Copy !req
256. Five minutes to detonation.
Copy !req
257. That little punk has come a long way.
Copy !req
258. That's the one.
Copy !req
259. 1st Lieutenant Hayase,
I'm going to smash the wall!
Copy !req
260. Please stand back!
Copy !req
261. Here goes!
Copy !req
262. Okay, now get on!
Copy !req
263. How could you do that to Riber's room?
Copy !req
264. Go away!
Copy !req
265. Quit messing around!
Copy !req
266. Just go!
Copy !req
267. One minute to detonation.
Copy !req
268. I don't know what happened here, but
I risked my life to come get you!
Copy !req
269. Leave me alone!
Copy !req
270. I can't do that!
Copy !req
271. No! Let me go! Let me go!
Copy !req
272. Thirty seconds to detonation!
All units, fall back!
Copy !req
273. Riber!
Copy !req
274. What?
Copy !req
275. Bastards! Damn! Damn it!
Copy !req
276. Still, things are starting to get interesting.
And next time, I'll win!
Copy !req
277. Lynn Minmay celebrates her sixteenth birthday.
Copy !req
278. On that same day, Hikaru is promoted
to 2nd Lieutenant
Copy !req
279. and put in charge of two subordinates,
Max and Kakizaki.
Copy !req
280. However, the joy of this day is
shattered by a sudden attack
Copy !req
281. by Kamjin and his armored battalion.
Copy !req
282. Things look grim for the Macross indeed.
Copy !req
283. Next time, on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:
Copy !req
284. Longest Birthday
Copy !req
285. I won't follow anymore
Copy !req
286. The shadow you cast as you run away
Copy !req
287. We all keep running
Copy !req
288. But we still can't see the goal
Copy !req
289. What awaits us after today?
Copy !req
290. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?
Copy !req
291. Even now, I keep running toward
Copy !req
292. The light that shines so far away
Copy !req
