[narrator] Macross 7 is
MACROSS 7 FLEE
a giant emigration fleet traveling the
galaxy in search of a habitable planet.
METROPOLIS SHIP CITY 7
Finding such a planet to colonize
in this vast universe
is a long and time-consuming journey.
And so the fleet
has seven large residential ships
with cityscapes inside where people
can live the way they did on Earth.
CITY 7 MAYOR, MILIA F. JENIUS
But seven years after leaving Earth,
they were attacked by a mysterious enemy
GIGIL
and City 7 was separated from the fleet.
BATTLE 7 - CITY 7
Then a dangerous enemy
called Sivil infiltrated City 7
SIVIL
attacking citizens at will.
This Sivil has now possessed
the music producer Akiko Hojo
AKIKO HOJO
and is stalking Basara Nekki.
BASARA NEKKI
GIGIL'S FLAGSHIP - BATTLE 7
Meanwhile, the captain of Battle 7,
Maximilian Jenius,
has grown frustrated by
all the failed attempts to rescue City 7.
CAPTAIN OF BATTLE 7,
MAXIMILIAN JENIUS
[sighs]
Damn, it's hot today.
MEN OF BURNING PASSION
What's the heat tolerance threshold
of City 7?
The limit is 6,000 degrees.
We're cutting it close.
This time I want
a full media blackout, all right?
Yes, ma'am.
It's just one thing after another.
R-Right
What is it?
No, it's just you look like
you're enjoying yourself.
Do I really?
Well, yes.
That's not good. I'll be more careful.
Oh, Mayor Milia.
I've already been briefed on the basics.
So, we'll be plunging into that star
in 12 hours?
Eleven hours and 48 minutes,
to be precise.
[assistant]
Couldn't we have predicted this earlier
when we were still able to change course?
[controller 3] The star generates
a unique magnetic pulse
that caused a slight miscalculation
in the navigation radar.
[controller 2] We suspect that it's also
the reason we couldn't contact Battle 7.
Well, I guess we'll just have to fold
somewhere else to avoid it then.
But the Fold System isn't completely
Then get it ready on the double!
-What's with this heat?
-[drumsticks pattering]
[Gubaba shrieking]
This is why I was against
recording in Slums!
What can I say? Basara wanted
to do it here and Akiko agreed.
Selfish jerk! What were you thinking?
[chuckles] This is the best, man.
You gotta have heat when you're rockin'.
-[Gubaba mews]
-[huffs]
-So hot.
-[Akiko] Come on, guys.
-You better get prepared.
-[Basara, in English] Okay.
[drumsticks pattering continues]
-[drums playing]
-[in Japanese] Whoa.
Nice and cool. I'm alive again!
What are you doing, man?
The air conditioning's on.
Leave me alone. If it was cool,
I wouldn't be doing this!
-Oh, God. What a baby.
-What's your problem?
[Basara]
I'm telling you to tune your bass.
[Mylene] I don't need you to tell me that.
-But you're not doing it!
-I'll do it when I'm cooled off!
Do it now!
Looks like fun.
-What? You're not having fun?
-[music playing]
What?
And by the way, you seem kinda listless.
Is that so?
Yep. You eating all right?
Hmm. Now that you mention it,
I haven't been eating much lately.
Come on, I know you're busy and all
So, you're worried for me?
Of course I am.
You're the only one we can depend on.
-[Akiko chuckles]
-Huh?
-Is that all it is?
-Um
Tell me, is that all it is?
Uh What What is?
-Don't play dumb.
-Wh-What do you mean?
Don't. Play. Dumb.
-A-Akiko.
-Yes?
Excuse me for a sec.
Okay, the settings are good.
I'll leave the rest to you.

[Chiba] As I have explained,
you can see that this music causes
a certain effect within the body.
We'll call this X.
And if we take this X and
Oh, right.
Let's try putting it into an equation.
Now that should make it
easy to understand.
And by making use of this effect,
I created the Song Energy Detector.
Now let me explain
the inner workings of this machine.
You're saying it's possible to detect
Fire Bomber's location with this?
[grunts]
And by doing that,
we can pinpoint City 7's location as well.
[commander] Currently, we are working
as fast as we can
to incorporate this detector
into our ship's Super Dimensional Radar.
[clears throat]
Now, we'll just have to wait
for Fire Bomber to sing
somewhere out in the galaxy.
You're still not done?
We've finished temporary repairs
on the ignition system,
but we still have to set the coordinates.
Due to strong interference
from the star's magnetic pulse
Forget the coordinates' settings!
Start the fold energy charge now!
That will still take another six hours.
We have less than eight hours
till we plunge into that star,
so start charging now!
Yes, ma'am.

Fold is charged at 65%.
Fold can be engaged in two hours.
Four hours to impact.
If things go well, we should make it.
Madam Mayor, the more energy we expend
on charging the drive,
the harder it is for the weather system
to maintain the temperature.
City temperature is
currently 34 degrees Celsius.
How about we lower the shell?
It can cut heat transmission
from the outside by 15%.
Nonsense!
If we lower the shell when we're not
in battle, the citizens will suspect!
No, let's lower the shell.
We'll tell the citizens
it's a systems test.
You're very sharp to have thought of that.
No, I'm just worried about
my wife and daughter in the city.
I see.
I promise I'll get us all out alive.

The enemy?

An enemy attack!

Gepelnitchi, this is what you get

So you're here too, you womanizer!
What? What the hell are you talking about?
But, man. What a big sun!
Won't we dive straight into it
on our current course?
That might just happen,
unless you two can do something about it.
Mayor Milia, please give me the details.
We're charging up the fold drive
