    Prologue

    A small group of surviving United Nations Cosmo Marines wearing armored spacesuits attempts to radio for help from the shelter of their demolished outpost on the Moon, with no success. The bodies of their fallen comrades lie nearby, and Sergeant Hajime Saito keeps vigil as their commanding officer dies from his injuries. Outside, an unfamiliar vessel is spotted passing overhead, and then their rescue ship is seen approaching from the direction of Earth--the battleship Kirishima. After boardin...

    Thunder Across the Stars

    Seven months later, the super dreadnought Zoelguut II under the command of Pasiv Vandevel leads a small fleet of Garmillas ships, survivors of the Raid on Balun, across intergalactic space toward the Large Magellanic Cloud and home. A massive flame-like energy beam suddenly appears directly ahead of them and vaporizes several ships at once. The fleet opens fire on an enemy that is far out of range of their own weapons, but the beam appears again and again, eliminating even the few who manage...

    Where the Impossible Becomes Reality

    After being knocked unconscious by the forced warp, the crew wake up to see that Yamato has entered a vast region of gray mists surrounding a multi-ringed planet, seemingly nowhere in charted space. They also realize that the ship is being piloted by an outside force. Kodai is immediately reminded of a telepathic attack on the ship months earlier. Yamato flies toward the planet and eventually encounters a massive alien structure, where it sets anchor and finally comes to a rest. Kodai and a s...

    Yamato and Earth

    1. The movie occurs between the events of "The Distant Promised Land" and "The Forever War." An official summary published well before the movie's release describes the story as taking place after Yamato leaves the Large Magellanic Cloud. The two-month gap between these episodes provides much more time for additional incidents and encounters, whereas "Memories of the Blue Planet" starts in the immediate wake of the fight between Yamato and Abelt Dessler's forces in "The Forever War" and durin...

    Zirellans and Archelias

    1. The quotation at the start of the film that Kiryu finds written in the Zirel language inside the Shambleau control room ("By the wall, I will say a word to you. Take my word. Give ear to my instructions.") is taken from a partially recovered Sumerian poem relating the Sumerian creation and flood myths. In it, the god Enki warns King Ziusudra that the other gods will bring a great flood, and that to survive the catastrophe, he must create a massive vessel to carry the life of the Earth. The...

    Gatlantis Empire

    1. Although Gatlantean ships and people appear occasionally throughout the first Space Battleship Yamato 2199 series, the movie introduces Gatlantis as an adversary of Yamato. This contrasts with their role as nominal allies of Yamato against a mutual enemy, the Great Garmillas Empire, during the Uprising on Prison Camp 17 ("Prison Planet 17"). 2. The Gatlantis Empire uses the word "Terron" for humans, borrowed directly from the Garmillas language. In Gatlantean, the word Yamatois distorted i...

    Why was Zoelguut II--under the command of Vandevel and not his superior, Goer--leading a few dozen ships instead of the three thousand that had survived the Raid on Balun?
    How can Mikage Kiryu and the late Melia Rikke resemble each other so closely, and is it related to the resemblance between Yuki Mori and Yurisha Iscandar ("Out of the Forest of Memory")?
    Did Kiryu learn about her father's death at the same time that other Yamato crew members were saying goodbye to loved ones back on Earth ("Farewell to the Solar System")?
    How do the human and Garmillan crews in the hotel understand one another without using any (visible) translation devices?
    Odyssey of the Celestial Ark is the first Yamato film to be set within the time frame of a Yamato TV series. Most previous movies take place after a series or between two series. Farewell to Space...
    Until April 2015, fans had used at least two English translations of the movie title, Star-Voyaging Ark and Ark of the Stars. The production studio, Xebec, ultimately chose the title Odyssey of the...
    Production error: Before and during Dagam's sneak attack on Zoelguut II and its fleet, the Large Magellanic Cloud repeatedly appears and disappears directly ahead of the Garmillas ships and directl...
    "Shambleau" is the title of a 1933 short story by C.L. Moore, in which an alien lures and enchants an unsuspecting human in order to feed on him.

    A novelized version of the movie written by Takumi Toyota was published by Mag Garden on December 5, 2014, one day prior to the movie's release, with cover art by Naoyuki Katoh.
