Yamato Director Hints at More After REBEL3199 Finale
Harutoshi Fukui hinted that another Yamato story may follow the final chapter of the REBEL3199 remake series.
Be Forever Yamato: REBEL3199 Chapter 7, subtitled Rainbow Samsara, closed the seven-part series and opened in Japanese theaters on October 30.
Fukui’s playful answer suggested a follow-up is possible, but no sequel has been confirmed.

A separate animated feature, Space Battleship Yamato √2199, is already in development, with Hideaki Anno and Yutaka Izubuchi set to co-direct.
Details about that film’s story and cast have not been announced, so what comes after REBEL3199 remains unclear.

A separate animated feature, Space Battleship Yamato √2199, was announced in early October.
