Uchuu Senkan Yamato: Difference between revisions

** This was a plot point in the Comet Empire series: the Empire's Wave Motion Gun-like ship outranged the Earth fleet, picking off ships without needing any other weaponry.

** Surprisingly ''averted'' in the 2010 movie: {{spoiler|the first time the WMG appears, it is fired at a Meteor Bomb beyond visual range and nails it dead-on}}. Then brought back once more in the finale when {{spoiler|the WMG's muzzle is jammed about halfway through the film so Kodai flies the Yamato right up to the target before pulling the trigger, [[Taking You with Me|vaporizing both the Meteor Bomb and the Yamato]]}}.

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]

** Apparently imposed by [[Word of God]] in the middle of the first season. Several (unnamed) female crew members were seen in episode 10. Then producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki decided that Yuki was the only woman. The others were never seen again.
