13. Macross!Copy !req
14. With the Macross having lost
its fold system,Copy !req
15. those aboard have been forced to proceed
using conventional engines.Copy !req
16. However, the enemy Zentradi fleet
has been tracking the Macross,Copy !req
17. and has proven a hindrance to its progress.Copy !req
18. Though having to fend off frequent attacks,Copy !req
19. the Macross has finally passed
within the orbit of Mars.Copy !req
20. Longest BirthdayCopy !req
21. They certainly don't give up, do they?Copy !req
22. No doubt their resolve has strengthened now
that they're so close to their homeworld.Copy !req
23. Perhaps we've allowed them to
get just a little too close.Copy !req
24. They aren't going anywhere.Copy !req
25. I wonder how they'll act when they
realize they're so near,Copy !req
26. yet they'll never be allowed to return home.Copy !req
27. I'm sure they will be most distressed.Copy !req
28. There is just one thing that worries me.Copy !req
29. Kamjin Kravshera...Copy !req
30. Correct?Copy !req
31. Nyan-NyanCopy !req
32. Today is Minmay's birthday, huh?Copy !req

Nothing to do with me, huh?Copy !req
40. 1st Lieutenant Marcos Myer...Copy !req
41. Sergeant Hikaru Ichijo...Copy !req
42. Now what?Copy !req
43. Commander, should we really be launching
an attack without orders?Copy !req
44. This is flight training, nothing more.Copy !req
45. We just happened to "accidentally"
encounter the enemy.Copy !req
46. Aah, I gotcha. Old Man Britai is gonna
be pretty steamed though.Copy !req
47. Enough! This time, we fight by the
rules of the Kamjin clan!Copy !req
48. Your group will be the decoys.
Don't screw it up!Copy !req
49. Roger that. We'll put on a real good show!Copy !req
50. Hikaru Ichijo reporting.Copy !req
51. This way, please.Copy !req
52. Yes, Ma'am.Copy !req
53. It looks like everyone's here.
Very well, let's begin.Copy !req
54. All of you assembled here today
have distinguished yourselvesCopy !req
55. during the battle on Mars.Copy !req
56. In recognition of your achievements,Copy !req
57. we hereby award you the U.N. Spacy's

63. What did you want to talk
to me about, Sempai?Copy !req
64. Have a seat.Copy !req
65. This is your new rank insignia.Copy !req
66. As of today, you're a 2nd Lieutenant.Copy !req
67. Put that on instead of the medal.Copy !req
68. You shouldn't be walking around
showing that thing off.Copy !req
69. Okay...Copy !req
70. One more thing...Copy !req
71. You get a couple of subordinates,
these guys.Copy !req
72. Hayao Kakizaki, rank: Corporal.

76. What the heck?
They're a couple of rank amateurs!Copy !req
77. The way I see it, they're not that
much different from you.Copy !req
78. But...Copy !req
79. You can find more detailed information
on them in the computer,Copy !req
80. along with some pointers on
being a team leader.Copy !req
81. I wrote it. Study it well.Copy !req
82. Oh, they're here. Come in!Copy !req
83. Hello, Sir.Copy !req
84. This is 2nd Lieutenant Hikaru Ichijo,
your team leader.Copy !req
85. He's an ace pilot who's just received
the Titanium Medal.Copy !req
86. Ichijo, take good care of them.Copy !req
87. It's an honor, Sir. I'm really frickin' excited...
Uh, I mean, I'm Corporal Hayao Kakizaki.Copy !req
88. Now that I'm here, you can just
leave everything to me!Copy !req
89. And I am Corporal Maximilian Jenius, Sir.Copy !req
90. Please call me Max.Copy !req
91. I am rather inexperienced, so I would appreciate
any guidance you could give me.Copy !req
92. Uh, sure. I look forward to working with you.Copy !req
93. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
94. Sempai, there's somewhere I have to be, so...Copy !req
95. Oh, that's right. I'll join you later.Copy !req
96. Excuse me.Copy !req
97. Sir!Copy !req
98. Would you mind if we joined you?Copy !req
99. Lt'd be kinda nice to show Minmay that
I've moved up a notch or two.Copy !req
100. Sure, let's go!Copy !req
101. Thanks very much! Well then, let's be off!Copy !req
102. By the way, where are we going?Copy !req
103. Hey, just leave that to me.
I'm taking you somewhere really great.Copy !req
104. I'm looking forward to it.Copy !req
105. I tell ya, I've been itching to go out!Copy !req
106. Really? Well, come on!Copy !req
107. So it's somewhere nice?
Really? Well, come on!Copy !req
108. Yup, of course it is!Copy !req
109. Jeez, they're already running off
like a bunch of schoolgirls!Copy !req
110. Thank you.Copy !req
111. What is this?Copy !req
112. What?Copy !req
113. How could Hikaru Ichijo have been
promoted to team leader?Copy !req
114. It's probably a reward for rescuing you on Mars.Copy !req
115. A rookie like that becoming team leader...Copy !req
116. I tell you, it's the end of the world.Copy !req
117. Hey, boss! That's the great place, right?
The one you were talking about.Copy !req
118. I tell ya, I just love places like these!Copy !req
119. Hey, lookie here! This one's just opened up!Copy !req
120. C'mon, hurry!Copy !req
121. I think you've gotten the wrong idea somewhere.Copy !req
122. I have? Hey, wait for me!Copy !req
123. Boss!Copy !req
124. You seem to know a lot about
those sorts of places.Copy !req
125. Of course! Women go wild over us soldiers!Copy !req
126. Now hold on, you aren't a soldier until
you fly at least one mission.Copy !req
127. Sir! Yes, of course!Copy !req
128. I would like to get into battle
as soon as possible!Copy !req
129. I wouldn't want to end up like that.Copy !req
130. Relax! With me around, we'll do just fine!Copy !req
131. It's nothing to get depressed about.
Just make sure you stay close to me, all right?Copy !req
132. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
133. That's the spirit.Copy !req
134. So, this is it? The great place?Copy !req
135. That's right.Copy !req
136. Hikaru! You're late!Copy !req
137. Minmay...Copy !req
138. What do you think, Hikaru?Copy !req
139. Wow, you look great!Copy !req
140. What? Who is this guy?Copy !req
141. Let me introduce you. These
are my subordinates...Copy !req
142. Corporal Kakizaki!Copy !req
143. Subordinates? Hikaru, you mean...Copy !req
144. That's right. I got promoted!Copy !req
145. And this right here is Corporal Jenius.Copy !req
146. I'm Maximilian Jenius.Copy !req
147. Wow, you're handsome!Copy !req
148. I am honored to be in the presence
of someone so lovely.Copy !req
149. You're such a flatterer, Maximilian... um...Copy !req
150. Please, just call me Max.Copy !req
151. Max, then. Come on, have a seat.Copy !req
152. Hey there! Hikaru-chan! Hikaru-chan!Copy !req
153. Hello.Copy !req
154. Hikaru?Copy !req
155. Happy birthday!Copy !req
156. You forgot, didn't you?Copy !req
157. Of course I didn't forget! I just...Copy !req
158. Oh! Yeah, I came here straight from work,
and left it in my room.Copy !req
159. You'll get it later, okay?Copy !req
160. Minmay-chan, don't be so hard
on poor Hikaru-chan.Copy !req
161. Mr. Mayor, could you please stop
calling me "Hikaru-chan?"Copy !req
162. I'm a team leader now, you know.Copy !req
163. Anyway, Minmay-chan, how about
a song or somethin'?Copy !req
164. I hear ya can even put pros to shame!Copy !req
165. You sing, Hikaru! That can be
your present to me.Copy !req
166. Good idea! C'mon, do it!Copy !req
167. No, I really can't...Copy !req
168. Well then, why don't I sing for him?Copy !req
169. How cool!Copy !req
170. Hikaru-chan, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna lose her.Copy !req
171. Y'follow me, Hikaru-chan? C'mon, get with it!Copy !req
172. That's strange...Copy !req
173. What is it? There's nothing out there.Copy !req
174. That's what's strange. There's something
about the radar response.Copy !req
175. It's as if the waves are just being
dispersed. Maybe it's...Copy !req
176. High-powered jamming!Copy !req
177. Almost time...Copy !req
178. Disengage jammers!Copy !req
179. Decoy group, attack at will!Copy !req
180. I'll take care of any stragglers.Copy !req
181. Funny, don't you think?Copy !req
182. Yeah, really!Copy !req
183. Delicious! Really delicious!
Yeah, really!Copy !req
184. Delicious! Really delicious!Copy !req
185. Attention! All Valkyrie combat
personnel, scramble!Copy !req
186. All Valkyrie combat personnel, scramble!Copy !req
187. All right!Copy !req
188. Hikaru!Copy !req
189. Sorry!Copy !req
190. Jeez!Copy !req
191. That's the bad thing about soldiers, huh?Copy !req
192. Taxi!Copy !req
193. Okay, it's a scramble!Copy !req
194. Hey, give us a ride too!Copy !req
195. No shoving!Copy !req
196. This isn't going to work!
No shoving!Copy !req
197. This isn't going to work!Copy !req
198. This isn't going to work!
What? Look, we're fine. Just get movin'!Copy !req
199. What? Look, we're fine. Just get movin'!Copy !req
200. Say, boss, that Minmay girl was a hottie!Copy !req
201. Is she your girlfriend?Copy !req
202. This is your first mission, for crying out loud!
Where is your mind at?Copy !req
203. Max, are you doing all right?Copy !req
204. Yes, I am nervous though.Copy !req
205. Max, so long as you've got me, we'll be fightin'
with the strength of a thousand men!Copy !req
206. Suddenly, I'm not so confiden... Ow!Copy !req
207. This is Gunsight 1! Black Squadron,
intercept the enemy at Block 4!Copy !req
208. Roger!Copy !req
209. Max, Kakizaki, follow me!Copy !req
210. Roger!Copy !req
211. So, which section are we defending?Copy !req
212. The final line of defense, Block 2.Copy !req
213. What? That's all the way in the back!Copy !req
214. Jeez, they're already seein' action over there!Copy !req
215. What are you talking about?Copy !req
216. Normally, I'd be out there where the fighting is.Copy !req
217. Boss, you say something?Copy !req
218. Nope, nothing!Copy !req
219. Captain, there's just too many of them.Copy !req
220. Deploy the Defenders onto the hull.Copy !req
221. Defender Team 2 has been wiped out!Copy !req
222. An enemy formation has broken through!Copy !req
223. VA-102, you have enemy incoming
at 3 o'clock high!Copy !req
224. They're here! They're here! They're here!Copy !req
225. This is Kakizaki, target acquired!Copy !req
226. Kakizaki! Don't go running off half-cocked!Copy !req
227. Boss, please do something!Copy !req
228. Idiot! That's why you shouldn't
go rushing in by yourself!Copy !req
229. That was a close one. Sorry, boss!Copy !req
230. Max! What are you doing?Copy !req
231. It's easier to get 'em where
you want them this way.Copy !req
232. Like shooting fish in a barrel.Copy !req
233. Sorry 'bout that!Copy !req
234. Okay, one more time!Copy !req
235. This guy's incredible!Copy !req
236. Ichijo!Copy !req
237. You're looking slow out there.Copy !req
238. You're a team leader now, so get on the ball!Copy !req
239. Lay off! Haven't I suffered enough
since becoming leader?Copy !req
240. Any minute now...Copy !req
241. Commander! They appear to have been
weakened in the area below the Narmid section.Copy !req
242. All right! In we go!Copy !req
243. It's time to knock the wind out
of the old man's sails.Copy !req
244. Everyone, attack!Copy !req
245. Enemy sighted!Copy !req
246. Kakizaki, don't waste your ammo!Copy !req
247. But it's all right if we don't waste it, right?Copy !req
248. Got them, Sir!Copy !req
249. All right, pursue and maintain fire!Copy !req
250. If we've made it this far then our victory
is assured. Raise Hell, men!Copy !req
251. Close-quarter combat is my specialty!Copy !req
252. Let's do it!Copy !req
253. Kakizaki!Copy !req
254. I... I made it somehow.Copy !req
255. It's hard being an officer on the Macross.Copy !req
256. You little punk!Copy !req
257. You've got some nerve.Copy !req
258. The first one who moves, dies.Copy !req
259. This is just what you'd expect of Kamjin.Copy !req
260. I thought it was strange he was so
willing to lead flight training.Copy !req
261. Shall we recall him?Copy !req
262. Of course.Copy !req
263. His campaign seems to be going unusually well.Copy !req
264. He has to follow the same rules as
the rest of the Zentradi military.Copy !req
265. Prepare to send a wide-area beam signal!Copy !req
266. That seems rather extravagant.Copy !req
267. I don't want him claiming that his
comm system was damaged.Copy !req
268. Wide-area beam signal is ready, Sir!Copy !req
269. What message shall we send?Copy !req
270. An order of immediate withdrawal.Copy !req
271. If they refuse, tell them they'll be sent
back where they came from!Copy !req
272. We were so close! Damn that old man!Copy !req
273. All units, retreat!Copy !req
274. But why? I thought we were done for.Copy !req
275. It looks like they have some
complications of their own.Copy !req
276. In any case, we're saved.Copy !req
277. Yes...Copy !req
278. Oh, man! The body of my fighter
got completely trashed!Copy !req
279. What will I do if it comes out of my salary?Copy !req
280. You sure did well out there, Max.Copy !req
281. Yes, I was lucky. I shot down seven targets.Copy !req
282. Seven? I got zip!Copy !req
283. You really are a genius! A genius!Copy !req
284. Right?Copy !req
285. Yeah, no ordinary person could have
done the things you did.Copy !req
286. Anyway, how did you fare, boss?Copy !req
287. Four kills.Copy !req
288. That must've been my fault.Copy !req
289. Normally, you'd get more than Max, right?Copy !req
290. I guess...Copy !req
291. I'm a genius, huh?Copy !req
292. Really? A genius?Copy !req
293. I never knew!Copy !req
294. Huh?Copy !req
295. All right then, goodnight, Sir.Copy !req
296. Goodnight. Kakizaki, take care of yourself.Copy !req
297. Aw, this is nothing!Copy !req
298. All right, men.Copy !req
299. Dismissed.Copy !req
300. Why'd they choose me to be team leader?Copy !req
301. I was a lot happier taking orders
instead of giving them.Copy !req
302. Oh, no!Copy !req
303. I figured it would be closed.Copy !req
304. What should I do?Copy !req
305. What are you doing, Hikaru?Copy !req
306. Minmay! I'm sorry about today!Copy !req
307. There's nothing you could've done.
After all, you're a soldier.Copy !req
308. And about your present...Copy !req
309. You didn't forget! You brought it with you,
didn't you? Thank you!Copy !req
310. That's right! This is your present.Copy !req
311. Here!Copy !req
312. Wow, it's so pretty!Copy !req
313. I can really have this?Copy !req
314. Yup!Copy !req
315. Thank you, Hikaru!Copy !req
316. Minmay, is somebody up there?Copy !req
317. Gotta go, Minmay. Happy birthday!Copy !req
318. For Hikaru, seeing Minmay's happy faceCopy !req
319. and knowing that he was the
one who brought her joyCopy !req
320. means more to him than the medal
he never expected to receive.Copy !req
321. By now, the voyage of the Macross
is entering its eighth month.Copy !req
322. Next EpisodeCopy !req
323. PreviewCopy !req
324. To celebrate the launch of a ship-wide
television network,Copy !req
325. it's decided to hold a Miss Macross contest.Copy !req
326. Minmay is also one of the contestants.Copy !req
327. Suddenly, however, a Zentradi
recon unit appears,Copy !req
328. and Hikaru flies out to intercept it,Copy !req
329. wondering all the while about
the outcome of the contest.Copy !req
330. Next time, on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:Copy !req
331. "Miss Macross"Copy !req
332. Miss MacrossCopy !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
