History Awesome / SpaceBattleshipYamato2199

** The ''Yamato'' and a Gamilas squadron fighting together against Goran's fleet. Made even more awesome because the carrier ''Lambea'' is a survivor of the Rainbow Cluster: it's literally '''Domel's men fighting alongside the ''Yamato'' against Domel's great enemy'''.

** Kodai's scout group and Berger ''not'' trying to kill each other in the face of [[spoiler:Lorelei using her vast psychic powers to manipulate them into that]]. Made more notable because Berger has a personal vendetta against the crew of the ''Yamato'' and [[spoiler:Lorelei]] managed to get a group of Gatlanteans from the same unit to kill each other.

* "Odissey of the Celestial Ark":

** The ''Yamato''[='=]s first fight with a Gatlantean squadron, whose flagship carries a Magna Fire Cannon. The Gatlantean are sure to win... And not only the conventional methods are ineffective, but the ''Yamato'' '''survives a shot from the Magna Fire Cannon''', even if with drained shields.

*** [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice Nolan also saves Yuki at the cost of his life]].]]

* Episode 25 sees the return of Wolf Frakken: [[spoiler: Coming to arrest Goer (and helping the Yamato) his ship "surfaces" and he proceeds to lecture Goer. [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/3517a66eab902dc41e8eb9513259db26/tumblr_mvlqz2vDX21stghmoo2_r1_500.png Standing on top of the ship, in a space suit, BadassArmFold and all.]] Because doing it from the bridge was probably not awesome enough for him. His crew promptly comments [[LampshadeHanging that he must have a good time doing it.]]]]

* [[EstablishingCharacterMoment In his first appearance on screen]], Domel is seen [[CurbStompBattle annihilating a fleet of the Comet Empire]]. The CasualDangerDialogue between him and his immediate subordinates implies it's not the first time. You can see it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO1jGV46yCE here]] in all its glory.

* Episode 21 starts with Yuki, prisoner of the Gamilans and depressed in the belief the ''Yamato'' has been destroyed at the Rainbow Cluster, using the fact she's been mistaken for Yurisha to verbally bitchslap the governor of a prison planet who was [[KickTheDog beating and insulting Nolan for being a Zaltian who dares calling himself a Gamilan citizen and soldier]]. Even [[{{Badass}} Wolf Frakken]] (who was about to punch out the bastard) was impressed.

*** Some more awesomeness for the staff, for making ''the'' awesome moment of the original series even more awesome.

* Zoellik's HumiliationConga in episode 18 is one for everyone involved in delivering. In order, the ''Yamato'' interrupts his RousingSpeech to the ten thousand ship that he was trying to [[spoiler: have as support for his coup]], then in the battle he ruins his image before his supposed {{Dragon}} Goer and the fleet, and when the ''Yamato'' appears to have been destroyed Deslar [[spoiler: reveals he survived his apparent assassination and reveals the culprit was Zoellik himself]], at which point Goer gets fed up with him and [[spoiler: shoots Zoellik in the back ''with his own gun'']]. And finally, to ruin even the possible glory of taking down the undefeatable battleship that not even Domel had been able to destroy, the ''Yamato'' re-emerges from Balan's atmosphere (where they had hid) and wrecks the planet and the Gamilas' PortalNetwork with the WaveMotionGun.

** Episode 20 finally has the Battle of the Rainbow Cluster. The awesomeness defies words, so we'll just say the result: [[spoiler: after the toughest battle in the series, the ''Yamato'' destroys the carrier and survives Domel's final SuicideAttack, but the commandos have kidnapped Yuki (who they believed being Yurisha) and delivered her to Wolf Frakken, who escapes with the prize.]] That, and one single moment: one of the old veterans, discharged due old age before being recalled, ''muzzled the WaveMotionGun and nearly destroyed the ship with a repurposed [[ThisIsADrill drill for asteroid mining]], only for Niimi and Analyzer to commandeer it and use it to destroy two carriers, [[HoistByItsOwnPetard including the one that had launched the bomber that fired the drill]]''. The only reason this is not spoilered is that it comes straight from the original series, so you should already know of it...

** After the [[spoiler: ColonyDrop]] failed, Dessler tries again with the Dessler Cannon. Due to Yuki and Nolan's sabotage, it blows up on his face. [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice Nolan also saves Yuki at the cost of his life]].]]

** As for [[TheDragon Hyss]]... [[spoiler: [[EvenEvilHasStandards He orders the evaquation of the capital and repudiates Dessler]].]]

* Episode 23: [[spoiler:The Yamato has just rammed Deslers Palace in an attempt to take him out. Desler simply starts his personal ship and flees to the giant mobile Space City in Orbit and proceeds to throw a [[ColonyDrop chunk of it]] on the Yamato and the Gamillan Capital of Baleras. Okita's reaction:]]
-->'''Okita:''' "Prepare the Wave Motion Gun!"

** Episode 23 continues the battle... And Okita's countermove is to break through the Imperial Guard's fleet and attack ''Dessler's palace. By '''[[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming it and through an Imperial Guard battlecruiser]]'''.''

* Episode 22 ends with the start of the Battle for Iskandar. Dessler's opening shot? The ''[[WaveMotionGun Dessler Cannon]]''.

*** Then Deitz (who had been imprisoned on the planet after being framed for treason, hence Melda starting the riot in the first place: it was supposed to be a distraction while she sprung him out) does his thing, and ''enrolls guards and rioters in his revolution against Desslar''. Remember, the Gatlantideans are ''war prisoners'' who have joined the commander of the guy who defeated and captured them and killed their friends...

** This is one especially for the ''Yamato'', that has just taken on ''ten thousand warships and '''won'''''. And left the bulk of Gamilas' fleet unable to give chase. Of course, that gets Domel sicked back on them with orders to destroy the ''Yamato'' or die trying...

*** In the same episode, the ''Yamato'' has to choose between passing through the navigational hazards of the Rainbow Cluster or travel around it. Okita decides to pass through it to spare time, [[RefugeInAudacity reasoning the enemy wouldn't expect something that crazy]] and [[GenreSavvy keeping the ship at full alert in case the enemy actually ambushes them there]]. [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Domel goes there to wait for him, because]] [[WorthyOpponent Okita]] [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy is the kind of man he thinks he is]].
