Space Battleship Yamato 2205 delivers an intense and emotional continuation of the saga, offering a gripping look into the Garmillan side of events. Seeing the political and military struggles of Garmillas was a major highlight, adding layers of depth to an already complex universe. The invasion of Dezariam was thrilling, but the true heartbreak came with the tragic destruction of Planet Garmillas—an event that claimed countless innocent lives and marked a devastating turning point in the story.
One of the most powerful moments was Dessler’s speech to the Bolar Federation. His commanding presence and unwavering resolve made for an unforgettable scene, showing why he remains such a compelling character. But what stood out even more was how 2205 showcased the caring side of Dessler spectacularly, as President Hyss (RIP) himself also pointed out. His struggles, regrets, and devotion to his people were portrayed beautifully, making him feel more human than ever.
And then, there was the Yamato—the ship of hope—rushing to aid Garmillas in its darkest hour. It was a moment of solidarity, proving that even after all the conflicts, true alliances can stand strong.
The series did justice to the weight of war, loss, and the bonds forged through hardship. May the fallen noble Garmillan lives rest in peace.
