Minoru Gōda operates as the Artillery Specialist aboard the resurrected Yamato in *Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection*. He manages and controls the battleship's primary weapon systems during combat, including direct operation of critical offensive capabilities like the Wave Motion Gun and missile batteries against hostile forces such as the SUS Empire and the Great Urup Interstellar Confederation fleets. Stationed at a dedicated console on the Yamato's bridge, he remains integral to the central command structure during engagements. His role explicitly replaces the earlier character Nanbu, signifying a generational shift in the vessel's crew. The character maintains a tactical function centered on weapons deployment, without broader narrative development or extensive personal backstory within the film.
