Despite its setback, the Comet Empire orders its fleets, under the combined command of General Bleak, to gather for full and immediate attack. Captain Gideon, realizing the urgency of the situation, overrides the Earth Defense Committee and calls in all Earth defense forces to rendezvous at Titan. Meanwhile, Princess Invidia knows that she must have Desslok killed before he can talk to Zordar. She arrives to lead him out of his prison cell whereupon she plans to have him shot for trying to escape. But, the perceptive Desslok has already forseen this, and has made real plans to escape. Leaving the cell, he takes Invidia hostage, and ushers her to Talan's awaiting air car. They dump Invidia at the runway and, with skillful piloting, escape the Comet Empire fortress. Prince Zordar realises he was deceived regarding Desslok, and grants him his flagship in return. The Argo warps to join the Earth fleet.

Synopsis

Space Battleship Yamato is a Japanese science fiction anime series featuring an eponymous spacecraft. It is also known to English-speaking audiences as Space Cruiser Yamato; an English-dubbed and heavily edited version of the series was broadcast on North American and Australian television as Star Blazers. The first two seasons of this version were broadcast in Greece in 1981-82 as Διαστημόπλοιο Αργώ. An Italian-language version was also broadcast under the name Star Blazers in Italy, and a Portuguese-language version was successfully shown in Brazil under the title Patrulha Estelar and Viaje a la Ultima Galaxia or Astronave Intrepido in Spain and Latin America. It is a seminal series in the history of anime, marking a turn towards more complex serious works and influencing works such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion; Hideaki Anno has ranked Yamato his favorite anime and credited it with sparking his interest in anime. Yamato was the first anime series or movie to win the Seiun Award, a feat not repeated until the 1985 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
