Space Battleship Yamato

Leader Desslok has been assigned the task of defeating the Star Force. But, Princess Invidia, ever jealous of Desslok, has convinced her father to send General Torbuck to "aid Desslok... and to watch him." Torbuck, feeling over-confident, decides to show Desslok up by defeating the Star Force by himself. He ambushes the Star Force as it passes through a large cloud of meteors. The magnetic fields in the meteor cloud drain the Argo's energy systems, leaving it vulnerable to Torbuck's waiting fleet. Treleina attempts to contact the Star Force to warn them, but Torbuck jams her transmission. However, Desslok cancels out Torbuck's signal. Sandor employs the asteroid ring defense system used on the mission to Iscandar. This time, he has provided the polarizing units with an energy field that absorbs the energy from the incoming fire they deflect, and redirects it back to the Argo in a useable form. With the energy boost, the Star Force manages to fire the Wave Motion Gun at the on-coming antimatter missles, thus, to Desslok's amusement, destroying the missles and Torbuck's fleet. Mark Venture begins to develop a long-distance crush on the mysterious Treleina.
