Episode 6: Sort of Like a Fateful Decision
Having made it to Mars, the Nadesico fends off an attack and locates an underground colony of survivors. But rather than being grateful to be rescued, the survivors have no intention of leaving their home, because they believe the Nadesico will be desroyed before it gets back to Earth! Can Yurika prove that the Nadesico is up to the task, or is the colonists' dire prediction all too accurate?
Episode 10: The Dangers of Femininity
Despite being ordered to investigate a giant chulip on a tropical island, the crew decide to first enjoy some swimsuit time at the beach. Meanwhile, having slipped away from the attentions of his admirers and their nightmarish attempts at cooking, Akito runs into a girl who seems to embody his idea of the perfect woman. Can reality ever match up to fantasy, or is Akito in for a big disappointment?
Episode 5: Ruri's Navigation Logs
On the long and boring trip to Mars, Mr Prospector insists that Yurika take the time to perform funerals for all the crewmembers and civilians that have died so far, a never-ending task that leaves her no time to see Akito.
Episode 11: Finding Yourself in a Routine Plot
The Nadesico finds itself in trouble when they are taken down by a micro black hole from a new land-based Jovian cannon called the ""walking stick"". Now it is up to the Aestivalis pilots to reach the walking stick and destroy it before it recharges, but Akito fears that unless his colleagues can figure out the meaning of teamwork, the mission won't go well.
Episode 4: Charmed by Aqua Space
The Nadesico heads out to the L2 colony to pick up some new Aestivalis pilots, but end up on a rescue and retrieval mission of a more urgent nature after the colony is destroyed in a surprise attack.
Episode 12: Those Unforgettable Days
When the Nadesico's computer system malfunctions and starts attacking United Earth forces vessels, Admiral Munetake decides that the ship's memory banks should be wiped and reinstalled. Unwilling to see Omoikane (the ship's AI) and all its valuable data erased, Ruri enlists Akito's aid on a virtual reality mission to save Omoikane and restore its sanity.
Episode 3: A Goodbye That Came Too Soon
The Nadesico's next destination is Mars, but in order to get there, it has to pass through the Earth's various lines of defense, including the Big Barrier. Can the Nadesico convince the United Earth forces to take down the barrier, or will they just have to defy Earth and punch their way through?
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 2: Leave the Blue Earth to Me
Not liking the idea of a powerful battleship in the hands of civilians, the United Earth military sends Admiral Misumaru's fleet to take control of the Nadesico. Will Yurika be able to protect her ship from her own father? And will Akito ever find out the truth about his parents' deaths?
Episode 14: Let's Go with Hot-Blooded Anime
In a reversal of perspective, the Gekigangar crew settle down to watch the latest adventures of the Nadesico. Unfortunately, with no time to put together new footage, the Nadesico crew instead present a clip show, including information on the ship, the crew, and all their adventures to date.
