novel #C: "It was you. You are such a special lady I dare not imagined you could love me as man. I thought you were doing everything out of goodwill and duty." "I'd had helped you anyway," Starsha said simply, "I just caught a space hero." Then she was being kissed deeply. "Today we are going to be husband and wife. I'm the luckiest man in the universe." Mamoru made a serious face. (Earthlings are vigorous) Starsha smiled; she was just grateful Mamoru has regained his health. (Go back to #3)
novel #B: "Then you have become very precious to me. I knew Yamato was coming and I thought of nothing else but safely sending you back home. But I just could not say good-bye... I've never imagined you could stay. Won't you regret, Mamoru?" Starsha was crying softly again. At this, Mamoru held her tightly. "Regret? How? Starsha, I went through tortures by the Gamilus and got really sick. But then I was being attended by the most beautiful, graceful lady."
Alternative fan-made novel #A: Mamoru and Starsha silently watched Yamato disappear into the sky blue. Mamory slowly turned to Starsha. His eyes were sparkling. "Is it true what you have said to me on the deck? ...Since when?" Starsha's eyes were still moist with emotions. "The Gamilus ship which you had been a captive - it had all the image records and decoded voice mails from the Battle of Pluto. You had made yourself a shied so the EDF fleet can retreat safely. ...You have won my respect."
Fan-made novel #7: Now he is her husband, she would show everything in Iscandar to him except for one thing. It's a method to bring the planet down to self-destruction that no outsiders, not even regular Iscandarites, are to know. The imperial family long ago had set it up in case of planetary abuse. Mamoru kept making love to Starsha ceaselessly and in a few days she knew a new life has begun inside her. "I hope this peace will last." She groaned as if knowing some shadows in the future.
Fan-made novel #6: "Iscandar is said to be a dying planet but everything about her is so beautiful, soft and sweet-scented..." Mamoru felt vaguely. "Starsha, let's populace this planet again. We can do it. We can help the remnants in Gamilus and restart a civilization - a peace-loving one, this time." Starsha was up from her daze and nodded laying beside him. "Yes..." She was happy to marry him. It was such a wonderful thing that she married him. He will fulfill what Iscandarites could not do.
Fan-made #5: "This is how a man carries his new bride where I'm from," Mamoru did not sound so nervous by now, "Starsha... let me show you how a man loves woman in my planet." He whispered into her ears. Starsha buried her face in his strong shoulder.
During the whole time Starsha was looking into the starry sky. As a queen of the highly advanced civilization, she acquired the vast knowledge in this world but the love Mamoru poured upon her was something she never knew of existence.
Fan-made novel #4: "We do, too." Starsha said hardly audibly. "I studied the Planet Earth. Iscandar is more like Earth than Gamilas. We are so compatible in everything. You know - " Mamore placed his hands on her slander shoulders. "I declare my pledge to be your husband and to love you always." He was solemn. "As a wife, I do the same." Starsha's voice was a little louder this time. She was immediately lifted up in Mamoru's arms. "Mamoru?" She blushed. She was carried away into the room.
Fan-made novel #3: "Starsha," Mamoru's voice was husky, "no man can refuse love from a woman like you. I love you. You've been my unattainable dream." They went back to the palace and by the time it was evening. The nearby forest kept bringing comfortable breeze and scent through the windows. Starsha led Mamoru into the top room - the royal chamber surrounded by crystal windows with the sky in view. "In our planet a couple make a pledge before becoming husband and wife." Mamoru said.
Fan-made novel #2: Starsha clung to him. "Mamoru... I was going to see you off. It was the right thing to send you back to Earth... but I just couldn't say good-bye... You have a home planet. I never expected you'd stay with me in Iscandar for any reason - " She was crying for happiness; Mamoru's presence was still unbelievable. She was ready for alone-ness for most of her life as Iscandarites passed away one after another. How could this wonderful man stay with her in such a desolate world?
A fan-made novel after Yamato's departure from Iscandar #1: Both Mamoru and Starsha were gazing into Yamato until it's was no longer in view in the blue sky. "Mamoru... are you sure you won't... regret?" Starsha finally broke the silence. "Regret?" Mamoru turned to look at her. His eyes were filled with wonders. "Starsha... I never dreamed that you... you could ever love me. I never even imagined." He embraced her again and this time kissed her passionately and forcibly.
I've got to say that the scene between Mamoru (Alex Wildstar) and Starsha had me all choked up as a kid and even now as an adult. Love idealized in a cartoon.
does it say something that while the yamatos original mission was to restart the human race they did it with just ONE woman? wtf?? nova would have died from major trauma kids every 9 months..
@vlunney Actually women used like that cannot have many children. Mankind must fight against human trafficking to death. Today there are tens of millions of women and children who've been working as slaves for evil men on Planet Earth. Starsha would not have helped Earthlings if she knew the real human nature...
Lucas even copied star wars for The return of jedi...originality was not the point, as it isn't in myhts and bedtime stories...that's the greatness of the first Star wars trilogy (the second is just crap, but with a lot of visual additives).
This series though is more mature and thoughtful...in a comparison with ST Voyager it would always win: more rhythm, a deeper insight, a much greater attention to detail (the episode of the bee planet is just great!)
I think I prefer the american performance of Starsha at moment 4:43 to :56. We hear her get choked up as she tries to form the words before never seeing this man she lover ever again. It almost had me choke up as well(like when I watch E.T. tell elliot to 'sta-ay....).
@plasticnapoleon22 They are Hiroshi Miyagawa and Kentarou Haneda. Both have passed away and the new Yamato movie were tributed to them. The irony is the new movie didn't use their music as much!
My little daughter immediately sniffed out who the other person on Iscandar was. She does not understand, though, why Starsha would not go to Earth rather, since on Iscandar she has no mate to repopulate the planet with (anyway, this could last only one further generation, couldn't it?). And she feels sorry for Susumu that he could not take home his only brother.
Restitutus, Starsha is a queen, not an ordinary citizen. She has a royal duty(kind of) to stay in her home soil. It's almost sacred to her. Mamoru will end up joining Susumu later anyway. Tell her that life could have many turns.
Children of the same family are not incapable of reproducing, it's just not morally/socially accepted.
So yes, in time the planet could be repopulated to a degree with a iscandan/human mix. A genetically weak and disease-vulnerable mix mind you given everyone's similar parentage.
@ImperatorMortis Not really. Our creation myths propose something like that, but it is more likely that the first humans emerged as a population, not as a first couple.
@Hesuku What YOU said! Over 150 yrs of anthropology(right word?) and we haven't found ONE single transitional form. And the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is accepted by all REPUTIBLE scientist. It says all things break down. Evolution is a joke.
@Velocity9s Yeah, atheistic scientists have their own agenda to start with and insist their ungodly non-sense when all the data point otherwise. More honest ones are being persecuted by them, I hear.
@koalabrownie Starsha race is highly advanced. Look at the Cosmo DNA(or what have-u). It's SO advanced she had to send them engine plans instead of the plans for the C-DNA(I am speculating/extrapolating, ofcourse...). It stands to reason that its possible to keep the gene-pool clean with Iscandarian medical technology.
Watching this, I'm really impressed with the english translation they did for Star Blazers. They didn't just translate it, they sat down and thought about each scene and how best to represent it through characterization. It's something they DIDN'T do for the third season translation.
@eggkookoo I am forced to agree, in that, where other companies water down and alter the stories, they stayed true to things, and for that, they deserve kudos. I am glad they finally have listen fans of anime and stopped dickering around with things and left them as they should be.
@paladin313 They kept true to the original story as based they could . they had to water down the violence however, because it was aimed at American kids. Still, we were still smart enough some things were off. Yet this show was at least 4 years before Star Wars. The Japanese had a one up on us on story and SFX,
@slee12dent Well, Yes and No. Most people hate ewoks. I know I do. I don't find a robot being allowed to sexaully harras a female shipmate very amusing. Some call it comedy relief, I call it UN-neccessary. Like foul languge in any medium. some call it "gritty realism". I call getting away with something. Excessive sexaul content? "Realism!"...no...Voyerism.
@slee12dent That is because this is original creative thought and Lucas is only a cheap recopy of other things he reads... nothing about Lucas is original if you spend a few minutes in a mythology book. I can't think of a thing that this reminds me of other than it does tank into account WW2 as a basis for how people treat conflict, war, and relationships within that - but that just makes the story that much more original. I am really looking forward to the movie here in December!
By the time when Starsha had to say farewell to Mamoru face to face, she was drained in every way. She literally spilled out her emotion when she said, "I love you" to him. Looking back, I admire Mamoru's emotional strength to bring a woman like Starsha this far! "Yamato" was a genius space soup opera!
The novel says, after Yuki's reminding of importance on one's own inititive to capture tomorrow's happiness, Starsha replied in her heart, "Please do not make me suffer any farther." How hard it must have been for her to say good-bye to Mamoru facing him like that! Knowing her internal pain and sacrifice, we get to appreciate all the more the happy ending here; Mamoru crushes her to his chest as if he'd never let her go anywhere again. I almost wished they didn't make "Yamato New Journey"...
The producer's novel says that Starsha knew these several "joyous" days with earthlings would later bring torturous lonliness to her later, but she was determined to absorb it all to herself. A courageous, honorable queen!
When Yuki was rescued and reunited with Susumu, he acted not too excited but only said, "Don't make us too worried." Nevertheless, she felt "enormous" manly kindness from him. In her captivity, Yuki was most horrified she might never see Susumu again.
What man can risist love from a wonderful woman like Starsha!? Mamoru is such a fortunate guy! The producer's novel says that Cpt.Okita, knowing the two loving each other, wanted to scold Mamoru, "You were once as good as dead. Why won't you say you'll remain with her?" Starsha wanted to send off Mamoru as it was a right thing to do. Mamoru wanted to return to earth as an honorable Earth Defense soldier would do. All of them were so duty-bound. ...Lots of unsaid beautiful things in "Yamato"!
One more details from the novel. Before Cpt. Okite scolded Mamoru in his heart, Starsha looked at Mamoru but he ignored it! And it was explained that such gesture was from "hardness of being a man," not coldness. I guess Mamoru was in pain, after all. The novel was strangely silent about Mamoru's feeling... He must be Harlock, for sure:-)
i don't get why the gamilusians have to invade earth, in previous episodes it was said that they already 'spread' to other worlds in their own magellan galaxy, and in this series we already saw that there were habitable planets for them. even planets in the void between galaxies. according to the info in the series, there's no need to invade earth.
plus how are they supposed to live there if they were going to irradiate it (they probably had a cleaning device too but the planet would still be wrecked)? the whole premise of the yamato's epic journey is doubtful too, because starsha gave them plans to the wave motion engine at the beginning, why not the anti-radiation device too? i know it's a cartoon but there's a difference between being fantastic and being inconsistent.
Well, first, it's in Desslar's nature to invade and conquer in the alexandrian tradition and even if he publically dismissed humans as primitives, he must have still considered them an eventual threat to his rule (it did after all seem to take over 10 years to finally wipe-out their space fleet and bomb-out the surface). Throughout the show it seems earth was the only other space-faring species in Gamilus territory.
Planets like Balan do not look very hospitable even for Gamilusians, do they? I take it that Earth was the most Gamilus-like that they had found so far with regard to gravity et al.
But why would they want to decontaminate it again? From Ep26 we learn that Earth had TOO LITTLE radioactivity for a native Gamilusian! (Not all their colonists, though, as Ep11 shows us. The adaption was probably a rather late one).
ヤブ機関士の行動は道徳的には許されないが、詰まる所『人間なら必ずこういう行動を取る』可能性はあるし、そうならないと断言できる人間なんてまずい無いだろうな。
地球人もガミラス人もその意味では変わらない、高潔なものもいれば下劣になるものもいるのだ、こういう細かい表現をシンプルに判りやすく見せるのが古いアニメの良い所だと思う。
