Uchuu Senkan Yamato III EP18 - The Angry Sun

Sanada and Yoshikazu travel to Earth with Major Frausky, one of Desler's scientists. After meeting the Earth Defense Force's commander, Frausky takes one ship to Saturn while Sanada and Yoshikazu follow in a second ship. Sanada explains the plan: first, Frausky will launch specially designed missiles to form a magnetic shield around the sun. Then Sanada's group will launch special missiles to gather asteroid fragments and send them into the sun. Finally, Frausky will launch proton missiles, and the resulting reaction will return the sun to normal.

At first, the plan appears to succeed, with the sun's temperature falling, but it then rapidly rises, forcing both ships to immediately retreat. Humiliated by the failure, Frausky orders his men to abandon his ship, then commits suicide by flying it into the sun.

Susumu and Yuki offer their condolences to Desler on the loss of Major Frausky. Desler wishes Susumu and Yuki success on their mission. As Susumu and Yuki leave, they see several of Queen Shalbart's worshippers. Susumu asks Desler about the worshippers, and Desler simply says Galman does not need two gods. He then tells the Yamato about another planet – Phantom – which is similar to Earth and supposedly uninhabited.

153 days remain before the sun destroys Earth.
