Movie
Description
Breetai, identified as Vrlitwhai Kridanik in original Japanese continuity and Britai 7018 in *The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?* film credits, commands the Zentradi fleet pursuing the SDF-1 Macross. His film appearance diverges from the television series, featuring a bald head, altered uniform, and an ornate decorative face plate replacing his previous cybernetic eyepatch; the eye injury's cause remains unstated. Standing 13–15 meters tall, he displays exceptional strength and resilience for a Zentradi, enduring brief vacuum exposure and battling Variable Fighters directly. As a commander-type Zentradi, he surpasses standard soldiers in tactical skill and physical prowess.
During the film, he leads a reconnaissance mission to Earth after the SDF-1’s space fold, initiating hostilities and capturing humans including Lynn Minmay, Roy Focker, and Hikaru Ichijyo. Minmay’s singing disrupts Zentradi forces during interrogation, exposing Breetai to human culture and emotions. This cultural contamination proves pivotal when Minmay’s voice is weaponized against the Meltrandi. Breetai later brokers a truce with the SDF-1, allying against the Meltrandi. Supreme Commander Golg Boddole Zer violates this truce, prompting Breetai’s defection to humanity. His decision solidifies during the climax, where Minmay’s performance of "Ai Oboete Imasu ka" sparks a mass Zentradi and Meltrandi uprising against Boddole Zer’s fleet.
Beyond the film, supplementary materials depict him aiding the United Nations Government in capturing a Zentradi factory satellite in October 2011, though he declines to investigate a derelict Supervision Army vessel for safety reasons. By 2016, he commands the New U.N. Spacy. He appears in the OVA *Flash Back 2012* and is referenced in *Macross 7* via an actor portraying his film role. *Macross Frontier* introduces Zentradi characters (Ohgotwhai and Mr. Bilrer) whose designs evoke his younger and older iterations.
In the *Robotech* adaptation, his backstory includes Tirolian cloning, Fantoma mining, and involvement in Zor’s mission before the First Robotech War. Post-war, he micronizes, joins the Robotech Expeditionary Force, and forms a relationship with Zentradi female Kazianna Hesh. He dies during the assault on Optera, sacrificing himself against the Regent to defend REF forces.
