Escape from the Jupiter Sphere (1x3)

Data di messa in onda: Lug 27, 2012

On Pluto, Gantz suggests sending out a fleet after the Yamato. Schultz turns down the suggestion, preferring to see what the Yamato does before attempting anything. After making a space warp, the Yamato 's main engine isn't transferring energy correctly, so Captain Okita orders the Yamato to land on a floating continent orbiting Jupiter, to make repairs to the engine. On the floating continent, Captain Okita orders the crew of the Yamato to go out and collect samples from the continent. After analyzing some of the plant samples from the continent, XO Shiro Sanada discovers that the floating continent is artificially made by the Gamilans. Meanwhile Raleta, commander of the Gamilas resupply base on the floating continent, gets a message from Gantz, ordering him to dispatch the combat fleet of four ships to attack the Yamato. The Yamato destroys three of the four ships sent after them, and then takes off from the continent. Okita orders Kodai to test fire the Wave Motion Cannon at the floating continent. Kodai fires the gun, destroying the entire continent. Nanbu is thrilled at the power of the weapon, but Okita says that the Yamato 's weaponry is for self-defense only, questioning whether they have done the right thing.
