Most of the original Nadesico crew return in order to prevent the Earth from experiencing another war. Some of the crew have undergone slight changes the Aestivalis pilot Ryoko now sports her naturally black hair color, but others such as the punloving Izumi have not changed at all. Two new crew members from Nadesico B join the original Nedasico crew, the first is a young boy named Ensign Hari Makibi, who like Ruri is a genetically engineered prodigy and has exceptional control over machines. The second is Saburota Takasugi, a former member of the Jovian Federation Defense Force who now serves as the Nadesico Bs Tatical Officer, unlike other Jovians who are generally chivalrous and very respectful of women, Saburota is something of a womanizer.While at Akitos Grave it had been two years since Akitos disappearance Ruri discovers that Akito is still alive. Akito explains that he and Yurika had been captured, while conducting Bosin Jumping experiments by the Martian Successors. Akito had been tortured, his brain severely effected to the point of not being able to taste anything thus being unable to cook and his skin shining white like a comic book. ........
