History Anime / SpaceBattleshipYamato2202

Much like its predecessor, ''Yamato 2202'' was first released as a set of movies, with the first one premiered in theaters in February 25, 2017. This was then followed by limited-release DVD and Blu-ray, before the series was finally aired in entirety as a 26-episode TV anime from October 2018 to March 2019. On a somber note, it ended up being Xebec's final series before Sunrise shut it in May 2019.

** Goland in particular feels a fatherly pride at how well his successor Nol is shaping up to be.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Keyman volunteers to be the one to disable the Ark of Destruction's energy core. Saito goes along with him as additional defense, deciding to die on his on terms instead of being a Gatlantis agent.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: There's honestly no reason for Captain Yamanami to risk sacrificing the ''Andromeda'' Kai and the entirety of the Andromeda Black automated fleet against the Ark of Destruction aside from blind idealism that the Yamato had survived [[spoiler:Kato sabotaging it a few episodes earlier]]. Likewise, there was no reason for the Ginga to go along when Yamanami turned out to be right anyway, as saving the Yamato would entail wrecking beyond repair the Cosmo Reverse system.

* SuperiorSuccessor: The ''Ginga'' is to the ''Yamato'', or at least it was built with this in mind. Spec-wise, it's essentially a much better Yamato in ''every aspect''. Subverted though in that, when its finally deployed for battle, ''none of its Wave Motion weapons work'', [[spoiler:likely due to Okita's spirit in the Cosmo Reverse system intervening.]] Its still capable of feats that the Yamato would be hard-pressed to do even at full power, like ''covering the entire Cosmo Navy fleet at Saturn with a powerful force field''. Essentially, the ''Ginga'' is a WhiteMage in starship form.

* PlanetSpaceship: The White Comet Empire takes this UpToEleven with their main HQ housing '''FOUR''' planets nestled inside of the Ark of Destruction which acts as a gigantic cage holding them in place. The structure is easily larger than Saturn [[spoiler: and when first seen properly, it '''plows through''' said planet!]]

'''''Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love''''' (also marketed as '''''Star Blazers 2202'''''), is the follow-up to the critically-successful re-imagining of the original ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'' series, produced by Creator/{{Xebec}}. Like [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato2199 its predecessor]] it adapts a classic Yamato arc for a new era and new generation of viewers -- in this case, the events of ''Yamato 2'' and ''Arrivedeci Yamato''.

** Touko plays upon Kato's AdultFear about his terminally-ill son, in return for an actual cure for the disease ailing him. The catch? He needs to scuttle the Yamato using the Anti-Wave Motion particles Keyman inserted into the Yamato's engine, dooming all his friends and crewmates on the ship.

* GodsHandsAreTied: Despite being seen as a god by the mortal races of Yamato's universe, Teresa can't actually ''do'' much to intervene in the war with Gatlantis; to be able to even ''speak'' to her, the heroes had to travel to her species' homeworld Telezart, as part of it now straddles the physical universe and the dimension that Teresa exists in. Even then she could only give vague advice, as saying anything more specific would wreck causality. [[spoiler:Until that is, in the finale, where she uses the Yamato as a conduit to finally end the threat of the Comet Empire, perhaps because the Yamato crew had successfully found the ideal end to the conflict.]]

* YearInsideHourOutside: One of the consequences of the use of the Cosmo Reverse is the creation of the Time Fault, a location on Earth where the timestream is way off-kilter. For every year that passes outside of the Time Fault, '''ten years''' passes in the Fault. This becomes a major plot device, as the Terrans quickly take advantage of the area to churn out a fleet of Wave-Motion capable warships in record time. Indeed, the Terran council actually ''rents'' some of the place out to their Gamilan allies, so that they could also make new ships.
