Uitzenddatum: Apr 21, 2013

On Gamillan occupied 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 an interrupted space warp, the Yamato 's main engine malfunctions, so Captain Okita orders the Yamato to land on a floating continent orbiting Jupiter, to make repairs. On the floating continent, Captain Okita orders an away team to go out and collect samples from the continent. After analyzing some of the plant samples collected, 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 her to dispatch a combat fleet of four ships to attack the Yamato. The Yamato destroys three of the four attacking ships, and then takes off from the continent. Okita orders Kodai to test fire the Wave Motion Cannon at the floating continent. Nobody is certain of what would result. Kodai fires the gun, destroying the entire continent. Nanbu is thrilled at the power of the weapon, but Okita forbears that the Yamato 's weaponry is for self-defense only, questioning whether they have done the right thing.
