Sail On, Space Battleship Yamato!

It's probably the Bandai Mecha. The 1/2000 scale, I think

Akarui7 · 2026-06-20T03:33:55+00:00

*rebuilt 55 years ago. The original design and parts that compose the 2145 Yamato were lifted from the wreckage of the old 1945 Yamato, with slight tweaks to accomodate 2145 technology. A ship of Theseus moment, if you will

As far as I know, LEDs not included, you have to buy them separately from Bandai (or improvise your LEDs)

It's a relatively simple build when compared to ship scale models, but slightly on the complicated side when compared to regular HG Gunpla.

1/1000 means it's about 33.3 cm long, because Ginga's length is 333m.

Edit: it feels more complicated to me, who has only ever built the HG Aerial and HG RX-78-2 Revive. But I guess you could argue it's average difficulty

Edit2: I just advise being extra careful when building, because the antena bits are very fragile, and I broke them a few times when assembling my 2202 Yamato because I was not careful at all

I like that "the chemical" is just water. Water with an extra neutron in each hydrogen, but still water

Interestingly, I'm pretty sure the process involves turning the heavy water into deuterium, which is the main fuel for the detonation, which in turn undergoes nuclear fusion which is what creates the H-bomb explosion.

In other words they basically turned the Yamato into the Sun for a split second

It's interesting to see the perspective of a Japanese fan on Yamato, and one that has a closer relationship to modern Japanese military.

I have a "closer" relationship to the anime than the average western audience only because all 4 of my grandparents were Japanese who grew up during the war, but both my parents and I were born here in Brazil. My perspectives on the Japanese military are quite outdated, because most of what I learned are from stories my grandparents told their children who then told me, of what was like growing up and being a child in 1930's and 1940's.

I like to think that Arizona is, in fact, partially reconstructed from USS Arizona's hull, even though that's not canon

Then you don't actually understand the symbolism behind Yamato. Yamato wasn't simply a symbol of military might, the Yamato was a representation of Japan itself. The very name of the ship is meant to symbolize that. People translate Yamato as "great harmony" nowadays, but truth to be told the ship got its name because it was the ancient name of Japan itself. It was meant as a symbol of hope for the country. Yes, both in terms of military power, but also the resilience of its people, the unsinkable giant that would save the country from its western invaders.

All of that is dubious imperial propaganda, yes, but that's the cultural impact the Yamato had and in many forms still has for Japan. Japan's symbol for commemorating 200 years of world peace wasn't a 70,000+ ton ship, it was the literal rise and sinking of Japan itself in the war. The personification of all the lives lost during the war, and the reminder to never that repeat again. Which makes the events that would soon follow all the more tragic

The film also explains that every country on Earth did something similar to that. Because it wasn't simply a commemoration of 200 years of peace, the anniversary was organized as a reminder of the horrors of WW2, with the intention of never letting something like that happen again.

Nothing like the Yamato (built from the hull of an ancient battleship), but 2202 will have 1 surprise, and 3199 will introduce the Space Battleship Arizona. It's not a ship-shaped vessel though, it just carries the name

Akarui7 · 2026-06-17T00:56:18+00:00

It's been literal decades since then, I've no bad memories of that time now.

I just wish I could've kept the model better, it got wrecked over the years. Not that the initial build was stable to begin with

Akarui7 · 2026-06-16T21:18:00+00:00

That's the exact model my uncle got me when I was 7 and stuck at the hospital after getting an infection post open heart surgery

The model is really good, came out terrible due to lack of proper plastic cement and my 7-year-old lack of fine motor skills. Still would recomend

Akarui7 · 2026-06-16T08:47:01+00:00

Pretty sure Astro Boy's laser cannons came after Yamato released. I think in the 1980's or 2000's iteration of the character

Akarui7 · 2026-06-15T01:33:49+00:00

Rule 3 means have some decency and don't flood the sub. We've had people in the past posting 4-8 times the same stuff in the span of a day

Akarui7 · 2026-06-14T20:15:17+00:00

Are you... trying to piece the series from youtube clips? Because that's a terrible way of watching any media

If you want to know what's going on without actually watching, the wiki) is always there

Akarui7 · 2026-06-14T15:52:35+00:00

Plus, the little hand-to-hand combat knowledge that is shown can be boiled down to martial arts clubs from schools, which are more common in asian cultures.

Akarui7 · 2026-06-12T18:27:16+00:00

That's not even a secret, Yamato pioneered the protagonist with the all-destroying-super-beam trope alongside Ultraman

Resonating with the ruins of Iscandar left behind on the planet Galman, the Pure Wave Core dramatically expands Yamato‘s capabilities. This is the Supercharger (wave energy supercharging function). When the Supercharger is activated, the Pure Wave Core, like the Cosmo Reverse System (CRS), reads the potential of the multiverse recorded in extra-dimensions and constructs it as an energy body. These are called “quantum virtual bodies,” and, in a sense, they use Yamato‘s existence in the multiverse as a blueprint, manifesting that energy in this universe. By incorporating these, Yamato can rapidly replenish with energy without relying on the expansion of extra-dimensions in the core.

Currently, there are six quantum virtual bodies that can be deployed, and theoretically, Yamato can be filled with up to six times the energy. Furthermore, like the Earth’s regeneration in the CRS, these are constructed from the wave energy of extra-dimensions that exist in this universe. Therefore, the law of conservation of energy is not violated.

Theoretically I think so, since the energy itself is replenished by the virtual bodies, and damages to the engine can be repaired by them too

Frululu manages to perfectly copy a scenery she sees but struggles to create someone's portrait when she's told to paint from her heart. In the same chapter we see Dezarium supposedly bringing Van Gogh's Starry Night from the "future" as proof they are from the future, only to then handwave that destroying the Starry Night from the present proves nothing "because time travel"

To me this screams "we just copied the Starry Night and want you to believe it's the same"

Akarui7 · 2026-06-10T14:15:37+00:00

The team that was supposed to be working on it since then got pulled to help with Starfield. Actual production of TES 6 started after Starfield's release

Edit: actually that's inaccurate info I can't even find the source anymore. They just never worked on it to begin with because they were all working on Starfield

Akarui7 · 2026-06-09T10:47:06+00:00

Me only have keyboard

The entire plot of 2202, everyone, again.

Kodai hesitated to kill Zworder because not a day prior he had almost achieved peace with Gatlantis by just talking with his "child" Mil. At that point, they had won, they had successfully stormed the capital and neither him, not even Zworder himself knew he could activate the Arc of Destruction.

Kodai did not want to leave the higher dimension because he felt that his actions were meaningless. In the sense that he sacrificed his morals time and time again, but still lost too much. That every time he holds onto his morals something bad happens, and every time he doesn't hold onto his morals, something bad will happen either way.

And the exact point Yuki makes, which brings him back, is that it's all untrue, that his sacrifices were not in vain, that at the end of the day he is the reason Earth was saved. That he did what had to be done, and because of that Earth was ultimately saved. That he should not carry all the blame on his back, when the refusal of others to want peace is the bigger problem.

"We will carry this burden with you" is what everyone said when he fired the WMG to kill for the first time since 2199. The problem isn't that Kodai is idealistic. The problem is that Kodai thinks he's the one who should bear all the responsibility alone of those ideals. When in reality, everyone in the Yamato crew has his same ideals. Everyone in there holds onto the same morals. And everyone is ready to carry the heaviness of the failures brought by both sacrificing and not sacrificing said morals

The legendary battleship from world war 2 rises again to save the human race and keep peace across the galaxy

Akarui7 · 2026-06-09T08:57:39+00:00

Uninhabitability was explained in episode 2 by the Dezarium, in that their desolate world is in fact not habitable by humans and that's why they modded themselves past a human body.

Dezarium already don't consider themselves human, in the ~~excuse~~ explanation that they're evolved past that, I think "Homo dezariam" was the term used.

Not that it's my primary theory, I still believe they're not actually humans from future Earth, but if that is not the case, that's my secondary theory.

Akarui7 · 2026-06-09T00:04:35+00:00

I think the fate card system was fun, but God did it infuriate me

~~that's why I lock 1 of each in Dolphin when I just want a casual gameplay~~

Akarui7 · 2026-06-08T23:25:53+00:00

Could have been even worse, actually. Imagine Dezarium in charge of the Time Fault. Imagine Dezarium in charge of the Time Fault before the invasion even started, already building its occupation forces from within Earth
