The flying object that crashed
onto the Earth in the year 1999...
/24755
Was a giant space battleship,
7200 meters in length.
/24814
/24821
Realizing the possibility of an armed
conflict with extraterrestrials...
/24858
The Earth humans formed a United
Federation after a global civil war.
/24892
And at last, the alien ship returned
to life as the battleship Macross.

The main cannon is activating!

So, it was hiding out on this planet after all.

To all ships, enter the combat zone.

During the launching ceremony,
Macross's main cannon suddenly activated.
/25406
The battle started against the Zentradi
fleet, who had detected the de-fold
noise from 10 light years away.
/25470
/25482
Macross was a booby trap, left
behind by a retreating alien race.
/25548
As the battle intensified, Capt. Global of the
Macross decided to attempt a fold operation
/25582
to the dark side of Moon in order to divert
the enemy's attention away from Earth.
/25619
But they de-folded into Pluto's orbit.

In November of the year 2009, Hikaru and
fellow prisoners miraculously escaped...
/26506
And the Macross finally returned to Earth.
/26533
/26542
But the imagery depicting the enemy as
described by Misa was received in shock.
/26588
/26606
The Zentradi can convert to Earth-
human size by using a Micron machine.
/26650
/26656
They have no culture, but the
culture of waging war. They don't
even possess the notion of love.
/26707
And in all likelihood, the Zentradi ancestors,
the Protoculture, are the human race.
/26762
That was her report.

I'd like to dedicate my debut song,

How did they escape?
/27275
Is this the power of Protoculture?
/27297
But why do we have this warm feeling inside?
/27322
Now that you mention it...
/27337
I don't know why though.

The threesome are spies sent
from the Zentradi Armada.
/27431
Their hearts, had been shaken by the
songs of Miss Macross, Lynn Minmay...
/27485
They told stories of a life with freedom as
Protocultures, after returning to their ship.
/27530
And eventually, they
defected to the Earth side.

It's nothing. The lights are just too bright.

If we don't negotiate for a truce,

Impossible.

/27820
Is that what you think?
/27830
/27863

The defections lead to mutiny.
/27891
Zentradi commander Breetai decided
to send his first officer Exedore, as his
/27933
representative to sign the peace treaty.
/27975

Negotiation for a truce?

We must have been more of a
"culture shock" than we previously thought.

In ancient times, those who made contact
with Protoculture, were awakened to songs,
and to culture, and lost their will to fight....
/28207
Then they eventually died out.
/28225
What did you just say?
/28235
/28242
To the Zentradi, fighting is our way of life.
/28280
Our history has been forged through war.
/28318
But our soldiers, who came in contact
with your culture, have suffered a "culture-
shock" and are now refusing to fight.
/28375
/28392
We were the only ones delegated by
Fleet Commander Bodolza to initiate contact...
/28444
As to avoid our doom from our
previous encounters with Protoculture.
/28467
Once the Main Fleet is made aware of this
peace treaty, they'll mount their attack.
/28532
In order to eradicate Earth culture.
/28564
The Main Fleet?
/28581
Is that the giant armada you
mentioned in your report?
/28605
Yes.
/28614
/28622
Main Fleet? Laplamiz You...  Did you...
/28653
/28660
I have reported everything
to Commander Bodolza.
/28689
And he has ordered the
mobilization of the main fleet.
/28718
/28730
Commander Bodolza has judged
Earth humans as Protoculture?
/28767
Correct.
/28778
If that is so... We will be
destroyed along with the Earth.
/28820
/28834
All ships have completed de-fold.
/28856
Very well. Our first attack will
be on the enemy's home planet.

The Breetai Fleet that had awakened
in culture, worked hand in hand with
the Earth's United Space Federation.

Operation Lynn Minmay
was a massive evasion tactic...

That was to broadcast a Minmay song...
/29860
And a kiss between a man
and woman to the Main Fleet.

Who had yet to be exposed to Protoculture.

A simple "Love Song", that saved
humanity from the verge of extermination.
/32927
Minmay's song echoed throughout
the intergalactic battlefield...
/32959
/32968
And everything was saved, because of love.

In order to record the courageous souls,
eternal truth, and love...
