The Quest for Iscandar

In episode 12, they pass near the star Alpha orionis, more known as Betelguese, Kodai finds Yuki looking out a window to the star. He asks what shes doing and she tells him shes praying to it. He thinks thats unscientific and says "girls are weird." She laughs and before they can really talk any more the Yamato is shaken and they both fall to the ground, and have to get back to work. They end up having to go so close to the star itself to avoid the Corona, a trype of gas that the more it gets shot the bigger it gets, and it could suck up the Yamato. Theres a huge flair and they use the Wave Motion gun to go though it. Ends up working out in the end and Yuki is Back to her praying. Kodai finds her once again and asks why shes wishing again, even after what the star had put them through. She says that its alright because her wish will find another good star to make it come true. Kodai asks her what shes wishing so hard for? She tels him its a secret, like before. Kodai tries to get her to tell him and she finally says; "I wished for a certain person to fall in love with me" Kodai laughs at the silly with but stops and asks who exactly what person is? She tells him thats definetly a secret and runs away laughing as Kodai chases after.

In another part of the voyage Kodai is in the suntanning room atlking with Saburo Kato and Analyzer. He comments on how human Analyzer is. Analyzer being the perv he is, talks about how much he is in love with Yuki and wants to marry her. Kodai seems to be a little annoyed by that. Jealous of the robot. Yuki has to go down to planet Beemela to search for food or life forms, along with Analyzer. The people of Beemela are working with the Gamilas against their will. The Queen is forcing them to. The bee people mistaken Yuki and Analyzer for Gamilas, and threaten to kill them in front of their queen as revenge for making them work and die. Luckily Kodai and the Black Tigers are there to the rescue and Yuki runs into his arms not thinking twice about it.

Throughout the rest of the voyage to Iscandar they have many interactions, a memorable one being when they decide to take a picture of them both as a memory for when they got to the Magellanic Cloud. Kodai goes to put his arm around her but as soon as the camera snaps the shot, she slaps his hand away from her. He tells her that it hurt but she says not to be such a baby, and that it will be good memories. She says that children can laugh about mom and dads youth. She then leaves Kodai confused about what she meant. When they get to Iscandar, Kodai finds out his brother is alive, and has been on Iscandar with Starsha this whole time. Mamoru ends up staying with Starsha on Iscandar instead of going home to Earth with the Yamato. Starsha confesses her love to him before he leaves, and he races after her and stays. They leave Iscandar, and just when they thought they were safe from the gamilas, they warp straight to the Yamato and board it, filling it with radioactive gas. Yuki, worried that Kodai is in danger, rushes to the Cosmo Cleaner D to use it to clear away the radioactivity. Sanada tries to stop her, saying it hasn't been tested yet. She convinces him to let her use it and just as she activates it and saves the ship, she had taken in the gas and fell unconscious. Falling down the stairs and to the ground. Kodai runs in to see Sanada in the hall, he asks if everyone is alright to which Sanada replies; "Kodai...Yuki died." Kodai runs up to her "lifeless" body and screams her name, crying and holds her tight. As they get closer to Earth, he takes her body and carries to to the main bridge. He tells her how much he'd fallen in love with her, and that he was going to tell her how much he loved her when they returned to Earth. He cries and brings her into the first bridge. He sits her down on his seat and points to Earth and says thats where they're going to live happy together. He picks her back up, to take her to Dr. Sado, then feels her move. He stops and sees Yuki opening her eyes. He puts her down and hugs her tight before picking her up again and spinning around "She's alive!" HE puts her back down again and she lays her head on his shoulder, looking at Earth.
