- Susumu Kodai Speech on Space Battleship Yamato Part 2
That is the destiny of any ship named Yamato. And that is the mission we have been assigned. I ask you all to remember that. Let us win this fight and transform a faint chance into real hope! For those we have left on earth... No... for the families we love... Let us make earth green again! For this ship... and for Captain Okita... I ask you all to give everything you have!

- Susumu Kodai Speech on Space Battleship Yamato
Attention all personnel. This is Acting Captain Kodai. Our landing is about to commence. This will probably be the last battle in our long journey of 148000 light-years. In April of 1945, the battleship Yamato set sail to bring a ray of hope into a time of utter despair. We do the same. The coordinates we were sent may be a trap. We may only be playing into the enemy's hands. But as long as there is one faint ray of light in the dark, as long as we have even a chance, we must go forward.
