Yamato 2199 Ep 3 Floating Continent Battle (Edit to add Pluto Battle clip links)

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

I just saw the first two eps fansubbed.

No idea if the translation is accurate, but Captain Okita's reply to the Gamilas demand for surrender nearly killed me.

"Tell them, NUTS!"

That's pretty much dead-on accurate. And very nearly exactly what he said in the original 1974 version. I believe Star Blazers had him say "Idiots!"
In fact it may be a specific military in-joke/reference to one Brigadier General McAuliffe.

So I had assumed.
In fact, what killed me was that immediately after the demand was delivered, I was thinking "It would be awesome if his reply was Nuts!, but that's not going to oh wow never mind."
