The Nadesico has been tasked with defending the moon using its new phase transition cannon, but when something goes wrong with the Y Unit, the weapon becomes inoperable. With only an hour to fix it, the ship's pilots are sent down to traverse the now hazardous corridors leading down to the Y Unit and find out what has happened, a task made all the more difficult by the fact that their minds have become linked together into an illusory ""memory mahjongg"" game, whilst repressed portions of their personalities take control of their bodies...
Episode 16: The Beginning of Nadesico's War
Whilst the Nadesico docks at the moon to await the launching of its sister ship the Shakuyaku, Megumi and Minato are taken aboard the Jovian starship, crewed by the ""Superior Male"" Gekigangar fanboys. But there are revelations for everyone as the crew learns the truth about the origin of the Jovians, not to mention the realisation that there were those who already knew the whole story, and chose to keep it quiet…
Episode 22: Protect the Visitor?
The Jovians have sent a peace emissary over to the Nadesico- Yukina Shiratori, younger sister of Tsukumo. However, peace is the last thing on Yukina's mind- she plans to assassinate Minato, the 'savage Earth woman' who 'corrupted' her brother! And with the Nadesico about to arrive back on Earth, how will Nergal and the UEAF react to there being a Jovian aboard the ship?

Episode 23: A Place We Call Home
Having left the ship, the Nadesico crew attempt to settle back into their old lives on Earth, despite the fact that Nergal is keeping a close eye on them. But the longer they stay on Earth, the more the crewmembers begin to realise how important it is to finish what they started on the Nadesico...
Episode 14: Let's Go with Hot-Blooded Anime

Episode 24: Ubiquitous Righteousness
Truth, peace, and justice- these are the ideals that the Nadesico wants both warring sides to appreciate, and what could embody them better than the century-old Gekigangar anime?

Episode 13: There Is No Single Truth
It's Christmas on board the Nadesico, but behind the veneer of festivities, more serious events are moving forwards. With the Nadesico set to join the military, the crew face being being drafted into the UEAF- all except Akito, that is, who is set to be replaced by a trained pilot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Erina asks Akito to help further her research into organic boson jumping (teleportation). But is being a pawn in one of Erina's games really worth the risks, or should Akito just forget it and spend a quiet holiday with Megumi?
Episode 25: Being Myself, Being Yourself
The ancient ruins on Mars and the control they offer over boson jumping have become the prize that everyone wants to claim- not least Akatsuki and Nergal. As the Jovians gear up for a final offensive, the Nadesico crew find themselves working with sister ship the Kakitsubata to make sure Nergal comes out on top.
