AWESOME! Thanks, Hesuku

[Hesuku]

Here is more. The evil alien force goes, "Without annihilation of Earthlings, our federation cannot prosper." Anyone said the similar thing? In 2220AD, the Earth will be swallowed up by a blackhole in 3 months, and Yamato must protect 600 million earthlings immigrating to Planet Amar. Yamato is the only hope left for mankind. Miyuki says, "Daddy, help the Earth!" Kodai wants to protect Planet Earth, not just the people. The last narration goes, "All for the Beloved!" It's unmistakingly Yamato!!

[Hesuku]

Or "All for the One/s He Loves!" Japanese language often skips subjects in sentences...

[anniesmyth]

Does that mean Earth or Yuki?

[Hesuku]

That's the thing, anniesmyth. The subject of the phrase could be either Yamato or Susumu. And the "beloved one" which often appears in Yamato's mottoes could be any crew's lover/family members or the entire mankind or Yuki in this case. I think the anime "Yamato" always retains the deep, manly sentiment of "I'm the only one to protect my home country" in an impossible situation of Japan at the end of WW II. That's why it's so sad and beautiful. (They had no idea how humane&nice then-USA was.)

[Hesuku]

Yuki may be a collective picture of the reasons(lover/wife, family, peaceful homeland, etc) for which an honorable man fights to protect, risking everything. In this movie, if Yuki is dead already... I really do not wish to watch!! I mean, I won't treat this work as the sequal to "Yamato" series in my heart. T T

[Hesuku]

Or "All for the Loved One/s!!"

[Hesuku]

Yamato is the best - always!!

[anniesmyth]

Yeah, baby!

[Hesuku]

Replying to your question, anniesmyth: Sado said, "I'm not leaving. Miyuki, Kodai(your father) fought because his beloved people were waiting for him(on earth)." And the name on the cap says "Yuki Kodai". Yuki looks like Starsha^^

[Restitutus]

Ah, yes? I always thought Yuki was her surname.

[Hesuku]

Yuki's maiden name is "Yuki Mori" in Western way. (She is known as "Mori Yuki.") For some reasons, male characters are usually called by the last names and the females are called by the first names in Yamato. "Yuki" means snow and "mori" means forest.
