From the Space Battleship Yamato movie. The Yamato launches and fires its Wave Motion Gun.
I own nothing, cut for fair use.

[@ilttpvvm]

The entire launch sequence was breathtaking, but I think that the most impressive part was Yamato’s 18 inch gun turrets rotating into position.

[@WolfeSaber9933]

When the ship is 534 meters long?

[@jamesmartin9401]

What I think is fun, is that right in that emergence sequence, the music starts to sound a lot like kaiju music. Like it's a living monster arising from the ground.

[@chriswilliams2295]

I remember watching the cartoon Star-Blazers when I was growing up, and still the biblical power of the Wave Motion Gun astounds me, model rendering on the Yamato, the film makers executed it Perfectly, and the uniform designs borrow themselves very well from the original animation :-)

[@andrewkapplin1138]

I grew up with the animated show too. Loved it & love this live action so much I own a copy. I watch it whenever I can.

[@derekclay9314]

They absolutely nailed it on the music for this movie

[@RM-we7px]

I choke up every time.

[@Gundam9750]

The team made this understand what the fans are looking for. The ship reveal, the timing for the theme to kick in, the firing sequence. chef kiss.

[@rickacton7540]

can we the audience simply enjoy the scene without your 3rd party approval of the scene?

[@theLOSTranger234]

rewatching this and the original anime scene side by side in comparison! both are just freaking awesome.

[@davidalangay1186]

I remember watching Star Blazers when I was in high school. It was certainly an original departure from traditional sci-fi fare and I enjoyed the series in it's translated version. This scene perfectly transferred Yamato (called Argo in Star Blazers), the captain and crew, even the firing sequence of the terrifying Wave Motion Gun to live action.

[@Whatsupeiththestupidhandlebs]

They did an awsome job staying true to the animated series.

[@Dovahkiir96]

it diverted quite a bit, they didnt even test the wave motion gun until jupiter, they change Susumu to a scavanger instead of an active member of the EDF and move the craft from iscandar to earth not mars, the movie also makes Iscandarians and gamilans, unlike the anime where the gamilans are former abducties of them from when they had there own empire. over all its a well done movie but quite different in delivery and plot to the origional series. there is also the fact they made the gamilans a hive mind race too

[@darrenholcomb7203]

I so dig this movie having Yamato even pull off a Battlestar Galactica style Adama Manuever. Not merely to launch fighter craft but to full on blast away directly at the planet beneath them.

[@brodielarson9096]

I absolutely LOVE Battlestar Galactica. The original series was so great, as were Buck Rogers, Manimal, Automan, The A Team, and the Six million Dollar man. I didn't like the remake of Battlestar as well, but the OG is so great.

[@darrenholcomb7203]

@@brodielarson9096 Well both 'Galactica's' were OF their time FOR their time. In Adama's words "context matters". I'm geared up to see what this next incarnation of BSG will be like.

[@brodielarson9096]

So long as it's better than the remake, I'm in!

[@darrenholcomb7203]

@@brodielarson9096 Just curious...what was it about the remake?

[@brodielarson9096]

There was a remake of the 1977 Battlestar Galactica that had no redeeming characters, nobody you really like and want to root for, and it really just sucked.

Gotta be one of my favourite sci-fi scenes!

[@consciousnessproductions]

4:13 just a time stamp for personal recollection. :) This is as satisfying as the mass cannon from Knights of Sidonia. I love it.

[@phillipmcgough6282]

agree. the requirement of a mechanical element to firing helped ground some of the sci-fy silliness. i love that all versions show the chamber firing. was great to see in live-action finally

[@brodielarson9096]

This just makes me happy, I watched the series many times as a kid. Anyone else notice that Avatar didn't want to fire the Wave Motion gun?

[@jamesmcdavid1673]

That's actually a plot point. The destructive power of the wave motion gun is treated as an absolute last resort, to only be used when nothing else will work, because of how dangerous it is. Had they used it recklessly, making the trip to Iskandar would have earned the Yamato's crew nothing, and the Earth would have died. Heck, Super Robot Wars V incorporates this into the game, with only the final stage, when the heroes must reach Earth by any means necessary, allowing players to freely use the wave motion gun. Until then, it's only used in scripted events.

[@tsuaririndoku]

I heard that USS Enterprise decided to stay Silent after seeing Space Battleship Yamato

Nah, the all of the NCC-1701's just gave a nod of approval and thumbs up. The Borg are the ones who went quiet.

Now that Yamazaki has seen success with Godzilla: Minus Zero, I think the time is ripe for him to make a proper sequel to this film.

[@retluoc]

Although it was super cool watching the wave motion gun, the shock cannons probably could have downed that missle. I still loved when they used it on a Gamalon warship... the shock cannons tore through it like tissue paper. The crew couldn't believe it.😀

[@fraserhoyle-johnson3452]

When Shima says in the translated words "Launching Yamato", I think you mean "Space Battleship Yamato, Launching".

[@Fletchman1313]

3:18 This guy looks like he's lifted straight from the cartoon. They did such a good job transferring the cartoon into live action. The casting was nearly perfect, and the rendering of the Yamato and the soundtrack was just perfect. Enough to satisfy all the fans. The rest of the movie kinda sucked, but they got this part right.

[@RM-we7px]

Screw the Death Star. I want space battleship Yamato.

[@norden9999]

Right now If you check the recent Japan railgun firing on sea, we have real rail gun developed by Japan and firing from naval ship.

[@stephenbyrne2170]

This must be strong enough to deflect the Death Star's firepower.

[@DavidFoxfire]

No, we don't exactly call it on the par of the Death Star. This is the weapon you call on if you want to _kill_ the effin Death Star.

Could probably deflect a single reactor ignition from the Death Star. You're gonna need a dozen along side Andromeda to probably repel a shot at full power.

Bruh why are cannons on the ship if your only using that weapon

[@jeltecsirrahne9902]

The Wave motion gun requires significant amounts of the ship to dedicate its systems to. The Cannons are for conventional battles and combat. Along with the torpedos, point defence systems. The wave motion gun is meant to be used as a assault weapon. The ships ftl systems are required to use the Wave motion gun.

[@Eneeki]

Because they are used in ship to ship battle while the wave motion gun recharges. They were not used in this scene but they get plenty of use later on in the movie.

[@samsignorelli]

Every ship has secondary guns. A 5" mount might be appropriate where a 16" is not.
