The
official site of the Space Battleship Yamato series revealed
the second trailer for Chapter 4 of Star Blazers:
Space Battleship Yamato 3199, subtitled "Mizuiro no
Sasha" (Sky Blue Sasha). This new teaser highlights the return
of Ram, the captain of the Starfleet flagship Berth
Starfleet, belonging to the Bolar Federation.
Yamato
3199 is
inspired by the 1980 film Be Forever Yamato (Yamato yo Towa
ni), and also incorporates elements from the third original series, Space
Battleship Yamato III (1980–1981). The character of Ram played a
pivotal role in that installment, and now he's back at the center of the story
with a decisive role.
