Sentou Yousei Yukikaze	comment	33 years ago, humanity realized it was not alone in the universe - a wormhole opens in the Antarctic, through which a mysterious alien force known as the JAM launch a swift and massive attack. In response, the United Nations launched a massive counter-attack and after a series of bloody battles, managed to push the enemy back to the other side of the portal, which led to a planet named "Faery" by the humans. Earth was saved. However, the battle still rages on. On Earth, the UN created the Earth Defense Organization to patrol the Antarctic coastline. On Faery, the EDO expeditionary force that pursued the JAM through the portal was designated the Faery Air Force (FAF) and established multiple bases on the alien world, serving as the first line of defense for humanity.2nd Lieutenant Rei Fukai of the FAF pilots the Super Sylph B-503 fighter, nicknamed "Yukikaze," an advanced armed tactical reconnaissance plane equipped with a near-sentient AI computer system. He belongs to the Special Air Force (SAF), the FAF's strategic recon wing. His duty is simple: observe and record data from battles between the FAF and the JAM. Do not attempt to interfere. Do not attempt to help. Should the JAM ever threaten to destroy him & Yukikaze, there is only one imperative: to abandon his comrades and ensure that the data is passed on. It's a task that only the most hardened of hearts can accomplish... a task that begins to blur the distinction between man and machine.Such is the premise of Sentou Yousei Yukikaze (æˆ¦é—˜å¦–ç²¾ãƒ»é›ªé¢¨, lit. Battle Fairy Yukikaze), a science fiction novel written by ChÅ�hei Kambayashi & originally published in 1984. It is actually a collection of short stories that ran in Hayakawa Publishing's S-F Magazine beginning in its November 1979 issue. A sequel novel titled Good Luck, Yukikaze was published in 1999 (like its predecessor, this was also a collection of short stories that began in 1992). Kambayashi revised the original novel to make it more consistent with the sequel and this updated version was published in 2002.Also beginning in 2002, the franchise began to expand. A five-episode OVA series loosely based on the two novels was produced by GONZO and Bandai Visual. It was released in Japan from August 28, 2002 to August 25, 2005 and was produced in commemoration of Bandai Visual's 20th anniversary. It was also later aired in Japan on the anime television network Animax, who later aired it in its English language networks across Southeast Asia and other networks worldwide. These OVAs are the version of the story most familiar with non-Japanese audiences. An English dub was produced by Bandai Entertainment in 2006.A few months before the final episode aired, a spinoff OVA was released called Sentou Yousei Shoujo: Tasukete, Mave-chan! translation Battle Fairy Girl: Help, Mave-chan!. It has nothing to do with the main plot and is about Anthropomorphic Personifications of the aircraft at an anime convention.Around the same time the OVAs were being released, a brief 6-chapter manga written by Yumi Tada was also published. The manga goes into a little more detail on Rei's backstory, though the canonicity of it may be questionable. There was also an Xbox game created in December 2002 called Sentou Yousei Yukikaze: Yousei no Mau Sora translation : Battle Fairy Yukikaze: The Skies Where Fairies Dance and played as a flight sim in the vein of Ace Combat, but to no one's surprise, it was not successful due to the Xbox's unpopularity in Japan. It received a PC port in 2003. A complete Let's Play can be found here where an English-speaking player with some limited knowledge of Japanese does some on-the-fly translations of the dialogue as he experiences the entire game.The original novel is considered a groundbreaking work of literature within Japan: some have even compared it to Starship Troopers in terms of how it affected the Japanese hard sci-fi genre. Sentou Yousei Yukikaze and Good Luck, Yukikaze both won the prestigious Seiun Award in 1985 & 2000, respectively. Kambayashi himself was ranked #3 of Best Japanese Sci-Fi Writers of All Time in a 2006 poll conducted by S-F Magazine.For the longest time, the books were out of reach for almost everyone outside of Japan. It wasn't until 2010 that publishing house Haika Soru released an English translation of the first novel (titled simply Yukikaze). The second novel was translated in 2011.David Drake read the first novel and loved it if his endorsement on the cover is anything to go by.Volume 3 of the series is called Unbroken Arrow and was published in 2009 in Japan. To date, it has not received an English translation. Haika Soru hinted that they may commission a translation should sales of the first two novels pick up.◊ Unfortunately, this is now unlikely to happen after Haika Soru ceased activities in late 2019 after completing its translation of the 10 Legend of the Galactic Heroes novels.A live-action film adaptation of the series was announced in April 2013 planning to star Tom Cruise. In July 2013, Dan Mazeau, the screenwriter for Wrath of the Titans, joined the project. That was the last anyone ever heard of it.After a 13 year long wait, Volume 4 of the series, Aggressors, was released on April 20, 2022. The fifth part of the story began its serialization in S-F Magazine on April 25, 2022.

The sentiment is understandable: Super Sylphs are far faster and just as heavily armed as the standard jets the FAF uses and could definitely turn the tide of battle around. But their rules of engagement require them to do nothing and flee at the first sign of danger.

Yukikaze herself as well. Once she's in the FRX-00 airframe. This is due to her being called a monster by both Jack and Rei due to her new looks. It takes Rei manually inputting some codes to hard-reset the engine to break her out of it.

The majority of the dialogue is by Jack, who provides the mission briefings and debriefings. This gets a bit silly during Mission 10 when Andy Lander is riding with Rei and asks him a lot of questions about his personal background, but there is no response.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_14848fa3	comment	Multinational Team: The FAF is made up of people from many different countries. From the characters we meet, Jack is British, Rei is Japanese, Tom John is a Canadian Native American, and Cooley & Foss are Americans. General Gibril Laitume's ethnicity is not specified, but his first name is the Arabic version of "Gabriel." That, coupled with his darker complexion in the anime indicates he may be of Middle Eastern descent. Ansel Rombert is probably German, and the novel also has a few other Japanese characters, such as 2nd Lt. Amata, 2nd Lt. Yagashira, & Akira Katsuragi from the Intelligence Forces. Finally, the second novel also has a French chef as a minor character.

However, at this point in the series, the real Rei Fukai has already been promoted to 1st Lieutenant. Presumably, the JAM are working with the information they obtained in the first episode, which is now outdated.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: Inverted: the story was first starting to get written in 1979. But over 30 years later, the themes it brings up regarding the use of Attack Drones and the digital battlefield are more relevant than ever. So it's more like the headlines are ripped from the novel. Not to mention a Forever War being fought in a land so far away that most of the world doesn't even care anymore about it, against an enemy that we have no clear understanding of and with no overarching strategy in mind. Are we talking about the war on Faery, or The War on Terror, especially the Afghanistan theater? Kambayashi may have also been drawing on the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. History Repeats, indeed...

In Operation 03, Yukikaze activates its JAM sensor jammer, displaying what Jack identifies as a warning pattern. That's because Tom "Tomahawk" John is standing right next to it. Savvy viewers will realize that the JAM-copy killed by the Military Police in the last episode is a copy of Richard Burgadish, who is supposed to be KIA all the way back in Episode 1.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_363f94c9	comment	Awful Truth: Gavin Mayle is transferred to the "retraining" unit, which the Intelligence Forces have ensured is being populated solely by JAM clones to isolate them. He slowly starts questioning whether he's a JAM clone because his last memories are of parachuting to the ground and making a hard landing, breaking his beacon and running out of food & water. Turns out to be a Subverted Trope, he's not. The real JAM clones were trying to turn him to their side by feeding him a bunch of lies. But when he refuses to play this game anymore and turns to leave, the clone of Lt. Lancome shoots him In the Back.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_393ec3f9	comment	Zeerust: On one hand, the FAF are shown to be able to build advanced fighters and AI ahead of what's available today. On the other hand Jack's computer is a Macintosh Classic, Captain Foss uses an ancient laptop with MS Word 3 to type her report, Lyn Jackson uses a Powerbook G3, and Rei uses a simple typewriter while on desk duty. Possibly justified with Lyn Jackson as some writers are known to use old typewriters for their novels, even if they own a modern computer. It could also mean a longing for days past, before the war against Fairy, or she just really likes it. Or, more prosaically, the FAF keeps the old crap for the Soldiers at the Rear to free up budget for the new fighters - there are mentions in the supplementary materials that the Super Sylphs were quite, and understandably so, expensive.

He stages a mutiny to fool the JAM into wasting their time attacking Faery Base and buy time for the FAF fleet to escape. The civilians he slaughter appear to be holographic projections created by Yukikaze. In the end, he shoots himself in the arm and reveals he's a JAM as the orange sludge begins creeping out of his blood, showing that despite this he still remains loyal to humanity. His sacrifice is portrayed as a great and selfless act. In Good Luck, Yukikaze, he is not a JAM, but he stages the coup to destabilize the FAF in order to take control of the JAM with the help of their human clones. He executes several innocent System Corps. technicians through use of the BAX-4 Powered Armor while maneuvering his agents into place. It's also questionable whether he actually means to take over the JAM, considering that every other word out of his mouth is a lie. His entire mission was authorized by General Linneberg of Intelligence in order to make contact with the JAM and learn more about them, even if it meant destroying the entire FAF. His status at the end of the novel is unknown; when last we saw him, he was fleeing from the JAM clones after betraying them.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_3f71b00e	comment	Point Defenseless: When the JAM Type-2s engage the Japanese Navy fleet in Operation 4, one destroyer puts up a barrage of fire from the Phalanx CIWS that hits exactly nothing due to the Type-2 putting out enough ECM to Interface Screw both the destroyer's main radar and the CIWS, making the latter shoot over the attacking alien craft all the way right up until the moment of impact. Rule of Drama: The "destroyer" ("DD-1025") is actually a "Mk-26" Ticonderoga class cruiser, equipped with the non-VLS Mk-26 missile launchers, an older iteration of the AEGIS combat system, and the aging Block 1 version of the Phalanx cannon. Granted, later on the more-modern Kongo class destroyer is shown to be not doing that much better against the JAM, either. The trope is averted however in the final battle. Huge gunship autocannons do an excellent job picking off a massive number of JAM fighters for most of the fight. Too bad that at that point, there are literally billions of them...

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_40496097	comment	AI Is A Crap Shoot: Zigzagged all over the place, and also depending on novel or anime. Played unsettlingly straight in Operation 02, where the TS-X1 unmanned fighter baits the JAM to fire missiles at itself, then pulls a Wronski Feint by letting those missiles hit another plane, killing 4 pilots. No, it did not go haywire: its orders were to protect Yukikaze, which was unarmed because of a training exercise, and it was doing exactly what it was programmed to do. Also played straight in the final operation: the new JAM AWACS-type aircraft interfere with the radar and IFF systems in the FAF fleet, which causes their drones to attack friendly aircraft while ignoring the JAM. Only the Flip Knight drones are unaffected because they are directly linked to Yukikaze, who is smart enough to target the enemy AWACS to stop the jamming. In the novels, the SAF Tactical Computer (STC) also declares in no uncertain terms to Jack Booker that it considers the JAM to be the enemy. On the other hand, it also killed Lt. Amata to prevent Yukikaze from crashing into his snow grader. Much later, the SAF Strategic Computer (SSC) runs an analysis, and decides that it's ultimate priority is defending itself, and that protecting the personnel and equipment of the SAF and FAF fulfills that role. Earlier, it did not respond to a truce offer from the JAM because it wanted to know why the JAM was making such an offer. The SSC's hesitance proved fortuitous, as shortly after the JAM decided to declare war on the entire FAF.

And as it turns out, the war against the JAM on Faery has basically turned into a human invasion of Faery for military and monetary gains, and is used by Earth nations to further their own individual interests. This is certainly the case in the anime; in the second novel this "Earth is invading Faery for resources" story is a lie that the JAM clones tell to Gavin Mayle to try to make him do a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. He doesn't believe it, so they murder him.

When a JAM base is destroyed, a new one pops up somewhere else practically out of thin air. The FAF has sent countless recon missions out to see how the JAM supply chain works, but in all their sorties, they have never been able to find evidence of even a single JAM transport aircraft or ground vehicle. Satellite surveillance doesn't help either, since spy sats are a priority target for the JAM and they shoot down every single one that is launched into Faery's atmosphere. The best explanation that the FAF analysts can come up with is that the JAM either use a network of underground tunnels or they are teleporting their forces around by using micro-wormholes similar to the Passageway. It's more than likely the latter.

The result is a Civil War that erupts in the FAF as nearly every plane from every FAF forward operating base starts gunning for HQ as well as making all SAF planes targets. Even worse, Booker brings up the possibility that the FAF pilots may be targeting the SAF not because of JAM deception, but because they're using this as an opportunity to settle scores with the Dirty Cowards they think the SAF are. Rei moves to sortie into this madhouse because he believes the JAM are waiting for him & Yukikaze to show themselves. Meanwhile, the SAF Strategic Computer is strongly predicting that an actual JAM fleet will show up after the carnage is over and wipe out the remaining survivors. After all, everything is going All According to Plan for them.

Without the fly-by-wire computers, they would be utterly uncontrollable... on the other hand that doesn't suspend the need for an aerodynamic design, on the contrary to make full use of the enhanced maneuverability made possible by relaxed stability the aircraft has to be even more aerodynamic than traditional designs (compare F-16, Su-27, Rafale, Gripen, F-22 with F-35, F-4, F-105)

To a larger extent, all of Faery. Rei & Jack are very disoriented when they return to Earth briefly because there is so much color & life on Earth.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_a6e8221e	type	Status Quo Is God
Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_a6e8221e	comment	Status Quo Is God: The reason the war has gone for so long is because of a variety of things: the FAF is stretched thin and can only either defend the Passageway or launch an attack on a JAM base, rarely both at the same time. This is particularly difficult since attacks on JAM bases usually prompt them to launch a Zerg Rush at the Passageway from another direction, forcing the FAF to retreat and fight a defensive battle (this is exactly what happened with the FTJ83 operation in the first novel). There is intense political pressure for FAF commanders to "play it safe" and not do anything audacious, so the war largely consists of minor skirmishes and the occasional bombing raid. As the conflict went on, support from Earth started decreasing as well, further limiting the FAF's ability to project force. On the JAM side, it's because they weren't aware of humans, suggesting they may believe the real battle is to destroy our machines and computers. The status quo starts changing once the JAM move beyond this basic strategy.

The JAM somehow pull off one of these just before they slam into the ground in Operation 02.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_afc6df04	comment	What You Are in the Dark: 1st Lt. Gavin Mayle of the 505th Tactical Fighter Squadron was the commanding officer of 2nd Lt. Yagashira. Like the rest of his squadron, he could not stand Yagashira at all. During one battle against the JAM, he actually hesitates to give him cover fire, hoping the JAM would shoot him down. This is a deep, dark secret he keeps to himself. He would never allow this to go public since it would get him court-martialed and executed and more importantly, if that happened it would be the first time the FAF killed a fellow human, setting a very dangerous precedent. His hesitation fulfills his wish: Yagashira does get shot down and ends up dying in the crash. Then, unknown to everyone in the FAF, the JAM make a copy of Yagashira and send him to TAB-15 to sabotage the 505th's planes, including Mayle's.

The extreme maneuvers she makes the Fand pull end up killing its pilot Hugh O'Donnell. In this case, Rei is the one defending Yukikaze for doing what she had to do to survive.

The Super Sylph's funding was secured by claiming that it was a modified variant of the Sylphid, the FAF's frontline fighter... when in fact it was a completely new design. note This has real world precedent; the Tu-22M Backfire was sold as a variant of the Tu-22 Blinder; likewise the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is almost an entirely new aircraft, sharing less than 20% commonality with the legacy F/A-18 Hornet. This is less pronounced in the novel, where both the Sylph and Super Sylph designs are derived from the F-15S/MTD experimental aircraft.

In the early stages of the JAM conflict, the ratio of volunteers to non-volunteers was much higher, but by the time the novel takes place, non-volunteers now outnumber the volunteers of the FAF. Jack is suspected by many of his subordinates to be a criminal thanks to a nasty scar on his face. He's not. The scar came from a mundane accident years ago when a boomerang he made came back and smacked him in the face.

Mission 10 also adapts the first novel's Chapter III: Mysterious Battle Zone, where Rei & Andy Lander get inexplicably transported to an alternate dimension, which was not adapted in the anime or manga. The pre-mission maps show the general regions the FAF has divided Faery into, which are A-Zone, B-Zone, and C-Zone, which again was only really elaborated on in the novels. Jack also mentions the FAF's Central Computer many times in the briefings & debriefings, which received some token mentions in the anime.

He would interrupt conversations to talk about completely unrelated things that he had an opinion about, he simply cannot understand why everyone wanted nothing to do with him, and most damningly his Leeroy Jenkins tendencies in combat tended to fail most of the time. The few times they succeed, he makes his whole squad know it was solely to further his Glory Hound status. When he gets transferred to SAF, his squadmates celebrate. And this is what he was like before he died for real and got replaced with a JAM copy.

Add to that that the FAF has almost no oversight at all, and it's no wonder why by this point, conspiracy theories abound on Earth that think the JAM don't even exist and that the FAF is planning a rebellion to overthrow the United Nations. Chapter III - Mysterious Battle Zone has Rei playing babysitter to a Jerkass pundit from Earth who has come to Faery to do a story on the FAF. He starts off utterly convinced that the JAM war is fake and is a ploy to arm the FAF for their global revolution. He very quickly changes his mind once he actually encounters the JAM. In the second novel, Rei spends a short furlough on Earth with Lynn Jackson. He decides to try and find some news articles on the JAM or the war, but even an Internet search turns up very few articles. He suspects it's because the JAM have already infiltrated Earth and are censoring the news media.

Without the fly-by-wire computers, they would be utterly uncontrollable... on the other hand that doesn't suspend the need for an aerodynamic design, on the contrary to make full use of the enhanced maneuverability made possible by relaxed stability the aircraft has to be even more aerodynamic than traditional designs (compare F-16, Su-27, Rafale, Gripen, F-22 with F-35, F-4, F-105)

This may have been sounded pretty fantastic for 1999, but fast forward ten years later and look at how data mining has become a massive industry... Even more impressively, TFacPro II can be used by Yukikaze to profact the JAM, who are supposed to be Inscrutable Aliens, as well as translate her "thoughts" into human-readable text so she can communicate with Rei.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_e77e2787	comment	We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future: The FAF's treatment of its snowplow operators is absolutely horrific. They stay in subzero temperatures clearing out snow on the runways when aircraft return from a sortie, but they are not allowed to keep the engine running if they're waiting for a plane to come back (which means no heater). It's stated that the FAF could automate the process, but the cost of setting up an automated system was deemed to be too expensive by the higher-ups when you have an endless supply of criminals that national governments on Earth are all too happy to send to Faery. The operators are paid a pittance, they are regularly sneered at by FAF officers, and they are also not allowed to drink alcohol on duty. The last bit is reasonable, but when they are forbidden from turning on the snowplow engines, that means that alcohol is one of the very few ways to keep warm in those conditions. The SAF tactical AI tried to defy this trope: it awarding Lt. Amata the Order of Mars was its way of attempting to make the FAF leadership realize how important the snow-clearing operation is to the war against the JAM, and to stop using manual labor or at least treat them better. It would actually prefer to have the snow-clearing process completely automated.

A lot of this has to do with the members of the FAF being drawn from a variety of UN member nation's militaries, with different uniforms, codes of behavior, and traditions, and it all sort of melts together into a relatively informal set of standards. The fact that everyone in the FAF, no matter how menial their role, is technically an officer goes a long way toward flattening the hierarchy typical of a military, and discipline enforcement is loose when not actively on duty.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite all the above, when he loses his hand in the JAM pocket dimension and is weakened from blood loss, he does not hesitate to tell Rei to leave him behind and escape when it becomes apparent the JAM are coming. When Rei doesn't, he refuses Rei's offer to help him walk and tells him to keep his hands on his machine gun and his eyes open for hostiles. When he returns to Earth, he writes a pretty even-handed article on the FAF that is largely free of bias.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_f4aeb714	comment	Human Aliens: Played with in an interesting way. When Rei & Booker touch down on the Admiral 56 carrier back on Earth, the crew of the ship think they may as well be spacemen. They also have difficulty communicating with the crew; their mannerisms have been altered so much by the war on Faery that their style of speaking is too terse and machine-like for the crew to follow. Booker is only able to start regaining some sense of normal diction after talking extensively with Lynn Jackson. Rei doesn't, and on another level, his frustration also comes from the fact that he hasn't spoken Japanese for so long that he can't get people who speak his native tongue to understand him. When meeting with Lynn Jackson in Good Luck, Yukikaze, she starts pressing him for first-hand objective information on the JAM. Rei angrily tells her he can't give her a fair & balanced view on the JAM and declares that if that means he's not human, then he's fine with that. Jackson then says Rei must be a Faerian, and thus an alien.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Rei's father attempted to kill him and (a boy who was presumably) his brother before he committed suicide by hanging himself in their house. Rei happened to wake up with an electric cord around his neck and his brother laying dead next to him before finding his father's body. He was only a child when this happened, which drove him to be very cold and unresponsive to people. As an adult, Rei served as a Getaway Driver for a gang of jewel thieves until he got apprehended by police and sent to Faery. Tomahawk John's heart was severely damaged when he was stabbed with a knife. Details are scarce, but it appears he was the instigator of that altercation. In the end, John's family had to sell all their houses to afford his artificial heart. Except for his mother, they seemed to do so quite reluctantly, with even a male relative referring to John's heart as "wicked." On Faery, John refuses to defend himself when a pilot harasses him, saying he swore never to hurt someone again. He also makes a vague comment to Rei that he used to treat everyone as his enemy. Jack Booker's son Jaime died in an unspecified accident while he was deployed as a fighter pilot. His wife Alicia resented him for putting his career over his family, and it is strongly hinted they got divorced. While Jack is visiting his daughter, an older female relative (probably his mother or his mother-in-law) tells him that Alicia is seeing a doctor now, and begs him to give up piloting. Clearly, he did not.

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The fighter planes' sounds, the jargon of fighter pilots and other military stuff is (almost) entirely authentic. (The sounds were actually recorded at a JASDF base with real planes flying around.) And while many plane designs are implausible (but really cool) the animators carefully animated all the little movements planes do as they fly. The unrealistic designs are less of an issue with the novel version of the Sylph and Super Sylph, which is essentially a modified F-15S/MTD, a USAF/NASA experimental aircraft. The Japanese Navy's F/A-27C backstory is taken almost entirely from that of the F-35, being a joint strike fighter program shared by several services (albeit the F/A-27 program managed to avoid the Development Hell the F-35 went through). Kambayashi also did quite a bit of work to make sure that the aerial combat & flight scenes were depicted accurately in the novel. Neil Nadelman, the English translator, also worked on the OVA's translation and he even admitted on this Livejournal page that he mistranslated Burgadish's title as "Radar Intercept Officer" in the anime. He corrected it for the novel as "Electronic Warfare Officer." As pointed out in the comments of this clip, the flight control message as Yukikaze is launching from the hangar in OVA 01 says "QNH 2965" which is an altimeter setting to read altitude above sea level based on barometric pressure. The normal QNH level for Earth in real life is 1013. This goes to show how heavy the air pressure on Faery is that it is almost triple Earth levels, and explains why the aircraft used on Faery are so much more powerful than what any Earth military can field.
