Yamato 2199 First Wave Motion Gun Fire

@@abdullahiaderinto5153 the wave motion gun uses the same energy as the wave motion engine and because of that the ship has to shut down to fire the gun , it uses all of the ship's energy so it has to recharge afterwards but there is also the wave motion shield which is time limited so yeah every wave motion system on the ship has to recharge

To Quote Mass effect on that This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kilotomb bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-b*tch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law? Sir! A object in motion stays in motion, sir! No credit for partial answers, maggot! Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir! Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this husk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!"

When you think about it, Yamato was also the first, best example of the kind of cool space dogfights that Lucas would become known for. The Gamilas were very 'Imperial', IQ-9 (sorry forgot his Japanese name) seemed shaped a lot like R2-D2, and the WMG was very much like the Death Star Cannon. And it's a reach but what the heck... everyone's freedom was saved by a princess with a crucial message she needed to deliver. And all this 3 years before Star Wars. That said, much of what Lucas had to put into motion on Star Wars would have come before he probably could have seeing Yamato. But it does make you think, maybe somehow...

[@toshiyam2853]

There was a debate over which was stronger, Yamato or Death Star, but in the end, the one who fired first would win. However, in terms of the dramatic shooting, the Yamato's Wave Motion Gun is an overwhelming victory. The Death Star's laser beam is powerful, but the production is simple and not very impressive.

I've started on 2202. I really like how in the second episode of 2202... *spoilers* At the Yamato crew reunion at Okita's grave Nanbu makes perfectly clear he hates that the wave motion gun is being reproduced. I remember him being super for using the main cannon willy nilly in 2199. Nice character moment.

[@kellenwong1321]

2202 gets a lot of flak from Western audiences sadly.

[@Irrelevant402]

@@kellenwong1321 Hmm from what I recall watching it I feel like it was a weaker follow up...but I feel like when it had its high-points they surpasssed the previous season. Favorite scenes include Mir (I think his name) the next in line after Zworder, being persuaded and was depressingly very briefly willing to not fight with humans...before getting gunned down by security. Or the mech pilot realizing he was a living spy/bomb and he takes the leap to 'cut his strings' strongly implying he will die from the radiation anyway and then he dies free and making a difference.

[@kellenwong1321]

@@Irrelevant402 Those are all amazing moments. But I would also include the entirety of episode 13, the crew are forced to make a devil's choice they can't back out of and Goland and Nol's final moments showing how Gatlanteans can be and ARE human, but simply were never given the chance to be. Dessler's redemption arc too, was also really good. And for me, the final moments of episode 24 where all the civilians put their trust in the Yamato after initial fear and Okita's statue staring down the White Comet. Moreover, I feel like 2202 is the stronger season in terms of philosophy, and themes of humanity and morality. Also, I feel that Gatlantis is quite terrifying. I think they embody the feeling of existential dread quite well.

[@Irrelevant402]

@@kellenwong1321 Oh yeah 13 was great. I don't know, I feel like they did the best they could with re-deeming Dessler...but it's REALLY HARD to come back from 'lol I'm gonna destroy the capital city because I said so LOL GOOD BYE!' The previous season was pretty damn perfect with their mix of new and old characters. 2201 sort of shuffles some away well, Niimi is hurt and Kato's wife is staying with their sickly baby, fine. But then all four new characters rush out to open the dock doors or something and have to sit out for a good chunk of the season. Sort of just the lazy lumping. At least Akira got to stick around. But some potential plot lines or ideas just seemed sorta...under developed or random? So I feel like the whole season could have used one more re-draft to iron on details such as.. -I liked Mori getting her old memory back but forgetting the new. Then her suddenly getting it back in the final episode felt a little underwhelming. -Those little red balls that showed up for like half an episode felt like they were supposed to have a full episode but they lost interest in it quickly. -Now I REALLY liked the new Earht fleet idea where the goal becomes 'hey if we outlast Gatlantis we'll buy time for another fleet...then another...and another.' Basically becoming Gatlantis in the process...But then the captain of the ship is introduced and has a sudden character development and decides that isn't the way to do it either. Can't recall her name but the Japanese director's daughter. -That one Gatlantis fleet that was spared...they are distressed and confused they were spared rather than out-right killed...they vow to have another fight with the Yamato...only for Dessler to be given the task to eradicate the 'failures' and that's that.

[@kellenwong1321]

@@Irrelevant402 I understand your opinions but Yuki regaining all her memories was meant to help end an otherwise grim and tragic season on a happy note and serve as a middleman approach to Farewell Yamato's depressing ending and the happier, but deus ex machina ending of Yamato 2. It also adds to the "love transcends time and space" metaphors, if you ask me. The space fireflies episode is actually WAY better than it's original series counterpart: a lot less silly and more character development. I use to not really like that episode too, but have found a new appreciation upon rewatching it. Dessler destroying Admiral Mazer and Cosmodart's fleets was done due to the reboot's different take on his redemption arc and while also wanting a callback to an important moment from the original source material. Also, if you were forced to shoulder the burden of living up to your family legacy, saving your people and getting incredibly close to getting the woman on the planet next door and accomplishing your goals, only to have a single battleship from a backwater world ruin your plans, I'd say you'd go borderline insane too. The four characters, while I partially agree on their exclusion feeling like missed opportunities, was deliberately done to set up the tone of 2202, as these are some of the more optimistic characters from 2199. In addition, it serves as a metaphor for sacrifice without bloodshed, because sacrifices WITH bloodshed are a prevalent theme throughout the season. As for Saki Todo's character shift, I don't think it is sudden. Even she, who rejects idealism in the fear of becoming weak, is realizing and dreading that the war would just keep on going, with humanity becoming more and more mechanized, ending with Earth's destruction, and that she and the Ginga's crew are getting ever closer to rejecting their humanity entirely in order to become baby-making machines. In fact, if you look closely, you can see her eyes watering during that scene. But when Yamato, savior of mankind and physical manifestation of hope(something that AI will ever understand), is found to be alive(undying hope, if you will), is what finally pushed her to make that change of heart. Her character shift serves a powerful message that made me really appreciate 2202 a lot more upon second viewing.

They advanced a few hints of what to expect from 2202.. and very interesting in this video.. because aparently there will be issues concerning the wave mition gun ban agreement between Iscandar-Earth-Gamillas .. like earth ignoring it and going into a weapons race craze.. Considering how much they changed for the season 1 and how the Gatlantis were introduced as enemies in the movie.. it will be interesting what they can do remaking season 2

Using the gravity field as a weapon... the damage to the entire system would be... unimaginable. The planet itself would be diverted from its present course. The stress on the tectonic plates of the planet. Not to mention, how large the field even grew. If the shot even released the energy it built up. the range of such an attack would be that of several planets, not only at the speed of light but at the speed of existence. In theory, that's how fast a wave motion gun would work, as it draws power from gravity itself and bends space time to form a beam. Such a weapon is something that makes me hard.
