Space Battleship Yamato

The Destined Showdown! (2x23)

Uitzenddatum: Mrt 17, 1979

The Star Force leaves Ganymede to defend Earth, but is again attacked by Desslok. Almost regretfully, Derek Wildstar gives the order to fire the Wave Motion Gun at Desslok's fleet. But, the clever Gamilon uses his SMITE teleportation device to position space mines around the Argo's bow... threatening certain detonation if the Wave Gun is fired. Just as Desslok fires his Desslok Cannon at the Argo, the Star Force performs a small space warp, and ends up ramming into Desslok's own ship -- in perfect symmetry of the actions of Desslok in the last episode of TV Season 1. The Star Force invades Desslok's ship for a hand-to-hand fight. During the boarding, Nova and Dr Sane watch helplessly as Venture is blown into space by an explosion. Both ships are rendered inoperable, and the ever-practical General Talan convinces Desslok that he has effectively won, and should abandon the ship. Reluctantly, the Gamilon Leader agrees. Turning to leave, Desslok finds Windstar facing him on his bridge. The Comet Empire lands in the Great Eastern Sea (off the coast of Japan) on Earth.
