Susumu Kodai: Is that...

Juzo Okita: Yes. That's the Yamato.

Juzo Okita: It is our only hope...

Juzo Okita: Yamato, lift off!
Juzo Okita: Attention, all remaining ships and battle groups. We will retreat. We no longer have a single ship that can prevail.

Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita, this is Yukikaze, Captain Mamoru Kodai! I cannot obey your command to withdraw! I could never show my face to the friends I've lost!

Juzo Okita: Whether you agree with it or not, the withdrawal is my order, Kodai. We're all that's left to defend the Earth. A true man bears the humiliation of today for the sake of tomorrow.

Mamoru Kodai: I don't think so! Even if it's hopeless, we can still take our enemies with us! Isn't that what a man does?

Juzo Okita: Kodai! Hear my order: Withdraw!

Mamoru Kodai: I'll fight while you withdraw, Captain Okita!

Juzo Okita: Kodai, don't say such a stupid thing!

Mamoru Kodai: Captain Okita... we're proud to have fought with you.
Shiro Sanada: [providing cover fire] Kodai, run! Take Yuki and save the Earth!
Juzo Okita: Dr Sado... thank you.
Yuki Mori: Saving Earth won't matter, nothing will matter if you're not there with me!

Susumu Kodai: But I will be! If I save the Earth, I'll be there in every tree, flower, and blade of grass!
Narrator: Space stretches into infinity. Countless stars die as others are born. And thus, space is alive.
Susumu Kodai: Why are you attacking the Earth?

Desler: [laughs] Attacking it? We are renovating it!
Susumu Kodai: 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 148,000 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. 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!
