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. 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. They certainly don't give up, do they?Copy !req
21. No doubt their resolve has strengthened now
that they're so close to their homeworld.Copy !req
22. Perhaps we've allowed them to
get just a little too close.Copy !req
23. They aren't going anywhere.Copy !req
24. I wonder how they'll act when they
realize they're so near,Copy !req
25. yet they'll never be allowed to return home.Copy !req
26. I'm sure they will be most distressed.Copy !req
27. There is just one thing that worries me.Copy !req
28. Kamjin Kravshera...Copy !req
29. Correct?Copy !req
30. Today is Minmay's birthday, huh?Copy !req
31. I wonder what kind of present
would make a girl happy?Copy !req
32. Attention. Will the following personnel please
report to the U.N. Spacy Command Center?Copy !req
33. 2nd Lieutenant Justin Borgnine...Copy !req
34. 2nd Lieutenant Taki Rossman...Copy !req
35. 1st Lieutenant Yang Loo...Copy !req
36. Nothing to do with me, huh?Copy !req
37. 1st Lieutenant Marcos Myer...
Nothing to do with me, huh?Copy !req
38. 1st Lieutenant Marcos Myer...Copy !req
39. Sergeant Hikaru Ichijo...Copy !req
40. Now what?Copy !req
41. Commander, should we really be launching
an attack without orders?Copy !req
42. This is flight training, nothing more.Copy !req
43. We just happened to "accidentally"
encounter the enemy.Copy !req
44. Aah, I gotcha. Old Man Britai is gonna
be pretty steamed though.Copy !req
45. Enough! This time, we fight by the
rules of the Kamjin clan!Copy !req
46. Your group will be the decoys.
Don't screw it up!Copy !req
47. Roger that. We'll put on a real good show!Copy !req
48. Hikaru Ichijo reporting.Copy !req
49. This way, please.Copy !req
50. Yes, Ma'am.Copy !req
51. It looks like everyone's here.
Very well, let's begin.Copy !req
52. All of you assembled here today
have distinguished yourselvesCopy !req
53. during the battle on Mars.Copy !req
54. In recognition of your achievements,Copy !req
55. we hereby award you the U.N. Spacy's
Titanium Medal.Copy !req
56. Please step forward as I call your names.Copy !req
57. 2nd Lieutenant Justin Borgnine...Copy !req
58. I'm getting a medal?Copy !req
59. Hikaru!Copy !req
60. Come into my room for a second.Copy !req
61. What did you want to talk
to me about, Sempai?Copy !req
62. Have a seat.Copy !req
63. This is your new rank insignia.Copy !req
64. As of today, you're a 2nd Lieutenant.Copy !req
65. Put that on instead of the medal.Copy !req
66. You shouldn't be walking around
showing that thing off.Copy !req
67. Okay...Copy !req
68. One more thing...Copy !req
69. You get a couple of subordinates,
these guys.Copy !req
70. Hayao Kakizaki, rank: Corporal.
Simulator time: 378 hours.Copy !req
71. Flight time: 66 hours. Skill ranking: A.Copy !req
72. Maximilian Jenius, rank: Corporal.
Simulator time: 320 hours.Copy !req
73. Flight time: 50 hours. Skill ranking: A.Copy !req
74. What the heck?
They're a couple of rank amateurs!Copy !req
75. The way I see it, they're not that
much different from you.Copy !req
76. But...Copy !req
77. You can find more detailed information
on them in the computer,Copy !req
78. along with some pointers on
being a team leader.Copy !req
79. I wrote it. Study it well.Copy !req
80. Oh, they're here. Come in!Copy !req
81. Hello, Sir.Copy !req
82. This is 2nd Lieutenant Hikaru Ichijo,
your team leader.Copy !req
83. He's an ace pilot who's just received
the Titanium Medal.Copy !req
84. Ichijo, take good care of them.Copy !req
85. It's an honor, Sir. I'm really frickin' excited...
Uh, I mean, I'm Corporal Hayao Kakizaki.Copy !req
86. Now that I'm here, you can just
leave everything to me!Copy !req
87. And I am Corporal Maximilian Jenius, Sir.Copy !req
88. Please call me Max.Copy !req
89. I am rather inexperienced, so I would appreciate
any guidance you could give me.Copy !req
90. Uh, sure. I look forward to working with you.Copy !req
91. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
92. Sempai, there's somewhere I have to be, so...Copy !req
93. Oh, that's right. I'll join you later.Copy !req
94. Excuse me.Copy !req
95. Sir!Copy !req
96. Would you mind if we joined you?Copy !req
97. Lt'd be kinda nice to show Minmay that
I've moved up a notch or two.Copy !req
98. Sure, let's go!Copy !req
99. Thanks very much! Well then, let's be off!Copy !req
100. By the way, where are we going?Copy !req
101. Hey, just leave that to me.
I'm taking you somewhere really great.Copy !req
102. I'm looking forward to it.Copy !req
103. I tell ya, I've been itching to go out!Copy !req
104. Really? Well, come on!Copy !req
105. So it's somewhere nice?
Really? Well, come on!Copy !req
106. Yup, of course it is!Copy !req
107. Jeez, they're already running off
like a bunch of schoolgirls!Copy !req
108. Thank you.Copy !req
109. What is this?Copy !req
110. What?Copy !req
111. How could Hikaru Ichijo have been
promoted to team leader?Copy !req
112. It's probably a reward for rescuing you on Mars.Copy !req
113. A rookie like that becoming team leader...Copy !req
114. I tell you, it's the end of the world.Copy !req
115. Hey, boss! That's the great place, right?
The one you were talking about.Copy !req
116. I tell ya, I just love places like these!Copy !req
117. Hey, lookie here! This one's just opened up!Copy !req
118. C'mon, hurry!Copy !req
119. I think you've gotten the wrong idea somewhere.Copy !req
120. I have? Hey, wait for me!Copy !req
121. Boss!Copy !req
122. You seem to know a lot about
those sorts of places.Copy !req
123. Of course! Women go wild over us soldiers!Copy !req
124. Now hold on, you aren't a soldier until
you fly at least one mission.Copy !req
125. Sir! Yes, of course!Copy !req
126. I would like to get into battle
as soon as possible!Copy !req
127. I wouldn't want to end up like that.Copy !req
128. Relax! With me around, we'll do just fine!Copy !req
129. It's nothing to get depressed about.
Just make sure you stay close to me, all right?Copy !req
130. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
131. That's the spirit.Copy !req
132. So, this is it? The great place?Copy !req
133. That's right.Copy !req
134. Hikaru! You're late!Copy !req
135. Minmay...Copy !req
136. What do you think, Hikaru?Copy !req
137. Wow, you look great!Copy !req
138. What? Who is this guy?Copy !req
139. Let me introduce you. These
are my subordinates...Copy !req
140. Corporal Kakizaki!Copy !req
141. Subordinates? Hikaru, you mean...Copy !req
142. That's right. I got promoted!Copy !req
143. And this right here is Corporal Jenius.Copy !req
144. I'm Maximilian Jenius.Copy !req
145. Wow, you're handsome!Copy !req
146. I am honored to be in the presence
of someone so lovely.Copy !req
147. You're such a flatterer, Maximilian... um...Copy !req
148. Please, just call me Max.Copy !req
149. Max, then. Come on, have a seat.Copy !req
150. Hey there! Hikaru-chan! Hikaru-chan!Copy !req
151. Hello.Copy !req
152. Hikaru?Copy !req
153. Happy birthday!Copy !req
154. You forgot, didn't you?Copy !req
155. Of course I didn't forget! I just...Copy !req
156. Oh! Yeah, I came here straight from work,
and left it in my room.Copy !req
157. You'll get it later, okay?Copy !req
158. Minmay-chan, don't be so hard
on poor Hikaru-chan.Copy !req
159. Mr. Mayor, could you please stop
calling me "Hikaru-chan?"Copy !req
160. I'm a team leader now, you know.Copy !req
161. Anyway, Minmay-chan, how about
a song or somethin'?Copy !req
162. I hear ya can even put pros to shame!Copy !req
163. You sing, Hikaru! That can be
your present to me.Copy !req
164. Good idea! C'mon, do it!Copy !req
165. No, I really can't...Copy !req
166. Well then, why don't I sing for him?Copy !req
167. How cool!Copy !req
168. Hikaru-chan, if you don't watch out,
you're gonna lose her.Copy !req
169. Y'follow me, Hikaru-chan? C'mon, get with it!Copy !req
170. That's strange...Copy !req
171. What is it? There's nothing out there.Copy !req
172. That's what's strange. There's something
about the radar response.Copy !req
173. It's as if the waves are just being
dispersed. Maybe it's...Copy !req
174. High-powered jamming!Copy !req
175. Almost time...Copy !req
176. Disengage jammers!Copy !req
177. Decoy group, attack at will!Copy !req
178. I'll take care of any stragglers.Copy !req
179. Funny, don't you think?Copy !req
180. Yeah, really!Copy !req
181. Delicious! Really delicious!
Yeah, really!Copy !req
182. Delicious! Really delicious!Copy !req
183. Attention! All Valkyrie combat
personnel, scramble!Copy !req
184. All Valkyrie combat personnel, scramble!Copy !req
185. All right!Copy !req
186. Hikaru!Copy !req
187. Sorry!Copy !req
188. Jeez!Copy !req
189. That's the bad thing about soldiers, huh?Copy !req
190. Taxi!Copy !req
191. Okay, it's a scramble!Copy !req
192. Hey, give us a ride too!Copy !req
193. No shoving!Copy !req
194. This isn't going to work!
No shoving!Copy !req
195. This isn't going to work!Copy !req
196. This isn't going to work!
What? Look, we're fine. Just get movin'!Copy !req
197. What? Look, we're fine. Just get movin'!Copy !req
198. Say, boss, that Minmay girl was a hottie!Copy !req
199. Is she your girlfriend?Copy !req
200. This is your first mission, for crying out loud!
Where is your mind at?Copy !req
201. Max, are you doing all right?Copy !req
202. Yes, I am nervous though.Copy !req
203. Max, so long as you've got me, we'll be fightin'
with the strength of a thousand men!Copy !req
204. Suddenly, I'm not so confiden... Ow!Copy !req
205. This is Gunsight 1! Black Squadron,
intercept the enemy at Block 4!Copy !req
206. Roger!Copy !req
207. Max, Kakizaki, follow me!Copy !req
208. Roger!Copy !req
209. So, which section are we defending?Copy !req
210. The final line of defense, Block 2.Copy !req
211. What? That's all the way in the back!Copy !req
212. Jeez, they're already seein' action over there!Copy !req
213. What are you talking about?Copy !req
214. Normally, I'd be out there where the fighting is.Copy !req
215. Boss, you say something?Copy !req
216. Nope, nothing!Copy !req
217. Captain, there's just too many of them.Copy !req
218. Deploy the Defenders onto the hull.Copy !req
219. Defender Team 2 has been wiped out!Copy !req
220. An enemy formation has broken through!Copy !req
221. VA-102, you have enemy incoming
at 3 o'clock high!Copy !req
222. They're here! They're here! They're here!Copy !req
223. This is Kakizaki, target acquired!Copy !req
224. Kakizaki! Don't go running off half-cocked!Copy !req
225. Boss, please do something!Copy !req
226. Idiot! That's why you shouldn't
go rushing in by yourself!Copy !req
227. That was a close one. Sorry, boss!Copy !req
228. Max! What are you doing?Copy !req
229. It's easier to get 'em where
you want them this way.Copy !req
230. Like shooting fish in a barrel.Copy !req
231. Sorry 'bout that!Copy !req
232. Okay, one more time!Copy !req
233. This guy's incredible!Copy !req
234. Ichijo!Copy !req
235. You're looking slow out there.Copy !req
236. You're a team leader now, so get on the ball!Copy !req
237. Lay off! Haven't I suffered enough
since becoming leader?Copy !req
238. Any minute now...Copy !req
239. Commander! They appear to have been
weakened in the area below the Narmid section.Copy !req
240. All right! In we go!Copy !req
241. It's time to knock the wind out
of the old man's sails.Copy !req
242. Everyone, attack!Copy !req
243. Enemy sighted!Copy !req
244. Kakizaki, don't waste your ammo!Copy !req
245. But it's all right if we don't waste it, right?Copy !req
246. Got them, Sir!Copy !req
247. All right, pursue and maintain fire!Copy !req
248. If we've made it this far then our victory
is assured. Raise Hell, men!Copy !req
249. Close-quarter combat is my specialty!Copy !req
250. Let's do it!Copy !req
251. Kakizaki!Copy !req
252. I... I made it somehow.Copy !req
253. It's hard being an officer on the Macross.Copy !req
254. You little punk!Copy !req
255. You've got some nerve.Copy !req
256. The first one who moves, dies.Copy !req
257. This is just what you'd expect of Kamjin.Copy !req
258. I thought it was strange he was so
willing to lead flight training.Copy !req
259. Shall we recall him?Copy !req
260. Of course.Copy !req
261. His campaign seems to be going unusually well.Copy !req
262. He has to follow the same rules as
the rest of the Zentradi military.Copy !req
263. Prepare to send a wide-area beam signal!Copy !req
264. That seems rather extravagant.Copy !req
265. I don't want him claiming that his
comm system was damaged.Copy !req
266. Wide-area beam signal is ready, Sir!Copy !req
267. What message shall we send?Copy !req
268. An order of immediate withdrawal.Copy !req
269. If they refuse, tell them they'll be sent
back where they came from!Copy !req
270. We were so close! Damn that old man!Copy !req
271. All units, retreat!Copy !req
272. But why? I thought we were done for.Copy !req
273. It looks like they have some
complications of their own.Copy !req
274. In any case, we're saved.Copy !req
275. Yes...Copy !req
276. Oh, man! The body of my fighter
got completely trashed!Copy !req
277. What will I do if it comes out of my salary?Copy !req
278. You sure did well out there, Max.Copy !req
279. Yes, I was lucky. I shot down seven targets.Copy !req
280. Seven? I got zip!Copy !req
281. You really are a genius! A genius!Copy !req
282. Right?Copy !req
283. Yeah, no ordinary person could have
done the things you did.Copy !req
284. Anyway, how did you fare, boss?Copy !req
285. Four kills.Copy !req
286. That must've been my fault.Copy !req
287. Normally, you'd get more than Max, right?Copy !req
288. I guess...Copy !req
289. I'm a genius, huh?Copy !req
290. Really? A genius?Copy !req
291. I never knew!Copy !req
292. Huh?Copy !req
293. All right then, goodnight, Sir.Copy !req
294. Goodnight. Kakizaki, take care of yourself.Copy !req
295. Aw, this is nothing!Copy !req
296. All right, men.Copy !req
297. Dismissed.Copy !req
298. Why'd they choose me to be team leader?Copy !req
299. I was a lot happier taking orders
instead of giving them.Copy !req
300. Oh, no!Copy !req
301. I figured it would be closed.Copy !req
302. What should I do?Copy !req
303. What are you doing, Hikaru?Copy !req
304. Minmay! I'm sorry about today!Copy !req
305. There's nothing you could've done.
After all, you're a soldier.Copy !req
306. And about your present...Copy !req
307. You didn't forget! You brought it with you,
didn't you? Thank you!Copy !req
308. That's right! This is your present.Copy !req
309. Here!Copy !req
310. Wow, it's so pretty!Copy !req
311. I can really have this?Copy !req
312. Yup!Copy !req
313. Thank you, Hikaru!Copy !req
314. Minmay, is somebody up there?Copy !req
315. Gotta go, Minmay. Happy birthday!Copy !req
316. For Hikaru, seeing Minmay's happy faceCopy !req
317. and knowing that he was the
one who brought her joyCopy !req
318. means more to him than the medal
he never expected to receive.Copy !req
319. By now, the voyage of the Macross
is entering its eighth month.Copy !req
320. To celebrate the launch of a ship-wide
television network,Copy !req
321. it's decided to hold a Miss Macross contest.Copy !req
322. Minmay is also one of the contestants.Copy !req
323. Suddenly, however, a Zentradi
recon unit appears,Copy !req
324. and Hikaru flies out to intercept it,Copy !req
325. wondering all the while about
the outcome of the contest.Copy !req
326. Next time, on Super Dimension
Fortress Macross:Copy !req
327. Miss MacrossCopy !req
328. I won't follow anymoreCopy !req
329. The shadow you cast as you run awayCopy !req
330. We all keep runningCopy !req
331. But we still can't see the goalCopy !req
332. What awaits us after today?Copy !req
333. What awaits us beyond tomorrow?Copy !req
334. Even now, I keep running towardCopy !req
335. The light that shines so far awayCopy !req
