Plot

The Nadesico is grounded by a formidable new Jovian weapon: the Walking Stick, a cannon that creates black holes. Akito and his comrades fend off a barrage from a battalion of old-school tanks. Meanwhile, the crew gets funky new uniforms.

The Nadesico finds itself in trouble when they are given a mission to take out a new Jovian weapon called a "Walking Stick." After the weapon's initial offensive critically damages the Nadesico's systems, it's up to the Aestivalis pilots to reach the deadly weapon and destroy it before it can recharge for a second barrage. But if the pilots can't figure out the true meaning of teamwork soon, it might spell the end for the Nadesico.
