What happens

Be Forever Yamato (Japanese: ヤマトよ永遠に, Hepburn: Yamato yo Towa ni) is a 1980 Japanese science fiction anime film and the fourth film (third theatrical) based on the classic anime series Space Battleship Yamato (known as Star Blazers in the United States). The film is unique for switching from monaural VistaVision (1.85:1) to Quadraphonic CinemaScope (2.35:1) when the Yamato enters the Double Galaxy. It later got a remake in 2024 as Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
