A lot of info was left out for us in this episode so it's half a mystery. Is this gonna be one of Kusaka's funny moves yet again? I liked the part where the commander of the Yamato being very enthusiastic about their version of the future - stark contrast to other members on the ship. Interestingly enough, their portrayal of the set of ships with the Americans onboard wasn't very American like - was more subdued and normal instead (and with slightly worse art?).
