Movie
Description
Mother Dezarium is the supreme authority of the Dezarium collective, the highest-ranking entity within the civilization that emerges as the primary antagonistic force in Yamato yo Towa ni: Rebel 3199. She first appeared in the earlier installment Space Battleship Yamato 2205 and becomes a central figure in the 3199 storyline.
Her origin is closely tied to the nature of the Dezarium themselves. The Dezarium are revealed to be descendants of Earth from a far-future timeline, specifically after a catastrophic event known as the Great Loss. Over centuries, their over-reliance on technology and the destructive effects of wave motion energy caused them to evolve into a primarily mechanical, cyborg race. Mother Dezarium was created as an artificial being, entrusted with full authority over the preservation and continuation of the Dezarium species. According to testimony from the character Sasha, she is a constructed intelligence whose core programming could theoretically be rewritten or corrected.
In terms of personality and presence, Mother Dezarium never reveals a physical form. She communicates exclusively through an authoritative yet dignified and compassionate voice that flows through communication medals worn by Dezarium officers. This voice has a direct, tangible effect on the mental data of individual Dezarium, granting her the ability to infinitely rewrite their memories and reinforce their loyalty to the collective cause. Her demeanor is not overtly malicious; rather, she speaks with a calm, maternal tone that belies the ruthless ambition of her grand design.
Her primary motivation is the realization of the "thousand-year dream of Dezarium." This dream involves using a time-space node to travel from the doomed future back to the year 2207, with the goal of overwriting Earth's history and preventing the destruction that led to the Dezarium's mechanical existence. She views wave motion energy as a "cursed power," directly blaming it for the decay of the future Earth and the loss of their organic bodies. The plan she drives includes the deployment of the Grand Reverse, a massive structure that functions both as a fortress and as a heavy nucleon bomb capable of erasing human brains, allowing Dezarium consciousnesses to be implanted into the bodies of present-day humanity.
Within the story, Mother Dezarium serves as the ultimate unseen authority behind the actions of the visible Dezarium leadership, including the Holy Supreme Leader Scaldart and officers such as Alphon. She does not directly participate in combat or appear on battlefields, but her will guides every strategic and philosophical decision of the Dezarium. Her role is that of a central intelligence and guiding consciousness for an entire civilization.
Her key relationships are defined by her position at the top of the hierarchical structure. She is the entity to whom all Dezarium ultimately answer. A particularly notable relationship is with Sasha, the hybrid child of the Iscandarian royal family. Sasha, having spent time within Dezarium society, possesses firsthand knowledge of Mother Dezarium's artificial nature and the possibility of reprogramming her. This creates a direct link between the highest echelon of the enemy and the protagonists, as Sasha's understanding becomes crucial to the conflict's resolution.
Development of Mother Dezarium's character is closely tied to the unfolding mystery of the Dezarium's true nature and their moral justifications. She is not simply a villain but represents a desperate, calculated will to survive at any cost. The series gradually reveals the artificiality of her existence and the possibility that her logic may have become corrupted or inflexible over the centuries. This opens the door for a potential resolution that does not rely solely on military destruction.
Her notable abilities are primarily strategic and psychological. She possesses complete control over the collective memory and loyalty of her people through her voice-based mental data manipulation. She is also the central processing unit for the entirety of Dezarium civilization's knowledge and planning. Her power is not in personal combat but in her capacity to coordinate vast military operations, maintain ideological unity across a star nation, and execute a plan that involves temporal manipulation and the wholesale replacement of humanity's future.
