A collaboration visual pairing Honoka Kosaka of μ's from Love Live! with Sasha from Yamato yo Towa ni: REBEL3199 was released on October 24. The image shows the two characters running together through the streets of Akihabara in Tokyo. The pairing follows a scene in the final chapter of REBEL3199, Chapter 7: Rainbow-colored Reincarnation, in which Sasha sets foot in Akihabara, a district the sources also describe as a setting associated with Love Live!. Chapter 7 begins screening in theaters nationwide on October 30. Two YouTube videos arrived alongside the visual: a recap of the story told from Sasha's perspective and a short video taken from footage in which Sasha appears in Akihabara. REBEL3199 is the latest entry in the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 series, rebuilt from the 1980 film Yamato yo Towa ni, and runs seven chapters and 26 episodes. Harutoshi Fukui is chief director and writes series composition and screenplay, Naomichi Yamato directs, and Satellite handles animation production.
Anime Anime describes REBEL3199 as a new work built by adding a new interpretation to the 1980 film Be Forever Yamato and that same year's broadcast of Space Battleship Yamato III. The series has been screening in theaters nationwide since Chapter 1: The Black Invasion in July 2024.
Chapter 7 follows Sasha as the reality she has believed in collapses and she loses sight of the proof that she has lived. Alphonse reaches what the synopsis calls a fearsome conclusion at the end of his doubts about his own existence, while the heavy-nucleon bomb called the Grand Reverse threatens to reset all humanity. The Partisan Fleet assembles, the space battleship Arizona takes off, and Kodai sits in the captain's seat with his promise to Yuki in his heart as Yamato plunges into the Desslerium home planet.
The credits list Hideki Oka on screenplay, Nobuteru Yuki on character design, Junichiro Tamamori, Yasushi Ishizu and Mika Akitaka on mechanical design, Akira Miyagawa and Shu Kanematsu on music, and Tomohiro Yoshida as sound director. Megumi Han voices Sasha, Daisuke Ono voices Susumu Kodai and Houko Kuwashima voices Yuki Mori. The copyright line reads Yoshinobu Nishizaki / Space Battleship Yamato 3199 Production Committee, and the Love Live! side carries a 2013 Project Love Live! notice.
