In Macross Frontier season 1 episode 22, titled "Northern Cross," the storyline takes us back to the battle against the Vajra. As the war continues, Captain Ozma Lee has been receiving nightmares about the Northern Cross, a legendary song that is said to be able to destroy the Vajra. Meanwhile, the warship Nyan Nyan has managed to locate the Vajra homeworld and has shared this intel with the other ships in the fleet.
As the episode begins, Sheryl Nome's concert on the Macross Quarter finally begins, drawing in a crowd of both civilians and soldiers. However, her performance is quickly interrupted by a Vajra attack. Alto and Brera take to the skies to fend off the enemy, but they quickly realize that these Vajra are different than any they've faced before. They are larger, stronger, and more numerous. It becomes clear that the Vajra are getting stronger, and that their homeworld must be destroyed if humanity is to have any hope of winning the war.
Ozma realizes that the Northern Cross song is the key to victory, and immediately sets out to find the singer who can perform it. His search leads him to the planet Gallia 4, where he encounters the famous singer and actress, Ranka Lee. He immediately recognizes her as the one who can sing the Northern Cross, even if she doesn't realize it herself. Together they set out to find the other pieces of the puzzle - the composer who created the song, and the lyrics that will unlock its power.
As they travel, they encounter a number of obstacles and challenges. They must fight off Vajra attacks, navigate treacherous terrain, and outwit the mysterious organization known as SMS. However, Ozma and Ranka are determined to succeed, for the sake of their friends, their lovers, and their planet.
Meanwhile, on the Macross Quarter, Alto and Sheryl are dealing with their own problems. Sheryl is struggling with her own identity, after learning that she was created artificially. She fears that she is not human, and that she may not be capable of writing songs that truly touch people's hearts. Alto tries to reassure her, but he also has his own doubts. He has always been conflicted about his role as a pilot, and wonders if there is something more he should be doing to help end the war.
Despite these doubts and fears, the crew of the Macross Quarter never give up. They work tirelessly to repair their ship, rearm their weapons, and strategize for the next battle. And when the time comes, they rise to the challenge, fighting with all their strength and skill to protect their loved ones and their planet.
As the episode draws to a close, the various strands of the story begin to come together. Ozma and Ranka find the composer and the lyrics they seek, and together they perform the Northern Cross. The song is like nothing anyone has ever heard before - it is powerful, haunting, and full of hope. And as they sing, something incredible happens. The Vajra, who had been attacking relentlessly, suddenly stop. It seems that the song has indeed achieved what it was meant to do - it has touched the hearts of the Vajra, and brought an end to the war.
Overall, Macross Frontier season 1 episode 22 is a thrilling and emotional episode, full of action, adventure, and heart. It is a testament to the power of friendship, love, and music, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
