Uchuu Senkan Yamato III EP19 - On the Way to Planet Phantom

The Yamato begins the first of three warps to planet Phantom, a distant planet of which little is known other than that it resembles Earth. At Bolar Headquarters, Belmayze orders a fleet to attack and destroy the Yamato. Meanwhile, the Yamato receives a distress call from a small planet. Commander Kodai sends Ryusuke, Takeshi and Analyzer to investigate, but just as they leave the Yamato, the transmission stops. Susumu decides to allow the mission to continue.

On the planet, Ryusuke and Takeshi discover several followers of Queen Shalbart who were on a pilgrimage when their ship became disabled and they had to land. Susumu has a team repair the pilgrims' ship, but Bolar ships appear just after the pilgrims take off. Susumu tries to negotiate with the Bolar fleet, but the fleet attacks both the Yamato and the pilgrims' ship. Susumu has the Cosmo Tigers launch to protect the pilgrims' ship.

Just then, Queen Shalbart appears before the Yamato in the direction of Phantom. The Yamato crew wonders if she might perhaps be guiding them toward the planet.

139 days remain before the sun destroys Earth.
