Commentary "Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199" Who is Rum?

The second teaser trailer for the fourth chapter, "Sasha," of " Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199," the latest installment in the remake series of the popular anime " Space Battleship Yamato ," has been released. "Yamato 3199" is a reimagining of the original works " Be Forever Yamato" and "Space Battleship Yamato III," with new interpretations added. The second teaser trailer focuses on Ram, the captain of the Rajendra, who also appears in "Space Battleship Yamato III." Fans seem excited about the appearance of a character who left a big impact in "Space Battleship Yamato III," but who exactly is Ram?

◇Pride as a Fighter

In "Space Battleship Yamato III," Ram appears as the captain of the Rajendra, a soldier from the planet Baas under the protection of the Bolar Federation. The Garman Empire attempts to invade Baas, but Ram resists. After a difficult battle, only his flagship, the Rajendra, remains and he warps to the vicinity of Neptune in the solar system. There, he encounters Yamato, which is searching for a second Earth. Ram asks Yamato for help, and Yamato takes a neutral stance and only provides support by repairing the Rajendra and resupplying it with water, food, and medicine.

At that moment, the Dagon fleet of the Garman Empire appears and demands the handover of the Rajendra. Ram takes a resolute stance, saying, "We will neither run nor hide," and with most of its armaments destroyed, the Dagon fleet attacks, and the Yamato is drawn into the battle.

Although she could have used Yamato as a decoy and escaped by warp, she was grateful for Yamato's support and continued to fight. Seeing Ram's "pride as a fighter" and her righteousness to the very end, Susumu Kodai said, "We even respect her." Ram's proud appearance left a big impact on fans.

◇The Grand Duke and fierce general of the planet Barth!?

The first teaser trailer for the fourth chapter of Yamato 3199, "Light Blue Maiden," released in April, featured a character believed to be Ram, which was a hot topic. The second teaser trailer, which was recently released, announced that Ram would be appearing, introducing her as "Ram, the Grand Duke and fierce general of the planet Birth, is coming."

General Director Fukui Harutoshi, who is working on "Yamato 3199," once said about the fourth chapter, "Next, we'll take a break from 'Forever' and start 'III'... That's how it feels. When we added the music, it felt like 'III'!"

What kind of performance will the tragic Captain Ram show in Chapter 4? The second teaser includes lines such as "Don't miss, Rajendra" and "President Desler, prepare yourself," but there are still many things we don't know. We can't wait for the release on October 10th.
