Uchuu Senkan Yamato III EP16 - Festive Day for Desler

Released from Gaidel's ship, the Yamato warps directly into the center of the Galman Empire. The arrival brings back memories for Commander Kodai, who recalls the Yamato's first journey to Iscandar to help save Earth. En route, the Yamato battled and defeated Desler. However, when the White Comet Empire attacked, Desler sided with the Yamato. Heavily damaged from the earlier war, Gamilas exploded. Queen Starsha of Iscandar also sacrificed her planet to save both Desler and the Yamato.

When the Yamato meets Desler, they notice twin planets, one looking like Gamilas and the other like Iscandar. Desler says he named the Iscandar-like planet after Starsha in memory of her sacrifice and also because he loved her. Desler had also built the Galman Empire by liberating Galman, the ancestral planet of Gamilas, and several other planets from the Bolar Federation. He then built up a powerful armed force and amassed great wealth to ensure the planets would remain liberated.

The news leaves Susumu puzzled and worrying about whether Desler plans to conquer Earth. If so, it means the end of their friendship.

183 days remain before the sun destroys Earth.
