Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 3199 Reveals Final Chapter Trailer

The final chapter of Be Forever Yamato: REBEL3199 is almost here, and fans now have their best look yet at the battle ahead.

Bandai Namco Filmworks has released the full trailer for Be Forever Yamato: REBEL3199 Chapter 7: Rainbow Samsara, also known internationally as Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 3199.

The concluding chapter is scheduled to premiere in theaters in Japan on October 30, 2026.

And judging by the new footage, the finale is aiming big.

The Yamato Heads Into Its Final Battle

The trailer previews massive conflicts unfolding both on Earth and across deep space as the Yamato crew faces what could be its most dangerous mission yet.

Explosions, enormous fleets and desperate confrontations fill the footage as the story moves toward its conclusion.

REBEL3199 began in 2024 and continues the modern Space Battleship Yamato saga following Star Blazers 2205.

The series also reimagines elements from the classic Be Forever Yamato and Space Battleship Yamato III, updating those stories for the current continuity.

Humanity Faces a New Threat

The story takes place in the year 2207, two years after the disappearance of Gamilas and Iscandar.

Earth suddenly faces a devastating new threat when a gigantic object known as the Grand Reverse breaks through the planet's defenses.

Enemy forces quickly overwhelm key areas on Earth, leaving humanity in an increasingly desperate situation.

Amid the invasion, members of the former Yamato crew receive a secret mission that sends them on another extraordinary journey.

And once again, the fate of humanity may depend on the legendary battleship.

Why Space Battleship Yamato Still Matters

The Space Battleship Yamato franchise has remained one of the most influential names in Japanese science-fiction animation for decades.

The original series helped establish the idea that television anime could tell larger, more dramatic and emotionally complex science-fiction stories.

Its influence can still be felt across generations of space operas and mecha anime.

Director Harutoshi Fukui has previously discussed how Yamato connected with Japanese audiences in ways that helped pave the way for later franchises, including Mobile Suit Gundam.

That history makes the conclusion of REBEL3199 more than just another anime finale.

It's another chapter in a franchise that has continued evolving for more than half a century.

When Does the Final Chapter Arrive?

Be Forever Yamato: REBEL3199 Chapter 7: Rainbow Samsara premieres in Japanese theaters on October 30, 2026.

For longtime Star Blazers and Space Battleship Yamato fans, the new trailer promises a finale packed with enormous space battles, emotional stakes and one more fight for the future of humanity.

The Yamato is heading into battle once again.

The question now is whether its crew can survive the journey.
