In the distant future, Mankind set out to conquer the universe

Humanity's population increased massively. Now over 500 billion humans have colonized space.

This staggering growth eventually depleted the colonised planets

and the birth rate began to collapse. Mankind entered a period of inexorable decline.

In despair, billions of settlers wanted to return to Earth

but that small planet could not accommodate them all and conflict soon broke out.

War returned, long and bloody war.

A new power, the Gaia Coalition, emerged and put an end to these wars.

Earth became an eternal sanctuary, to which there was no access

A symbol of peace

The dying human colonies could only look on.

One man refused to submit

to this new order...

A space pirate.

Legend said that man was immortal,

looting and destroying without hindrance

hunted by Gaia Coalition vessels,

the most wanted man in the universe

codenamed S-OO999

When young

we do not look back on the past

we run constantly to the Future

convinced something awaits us

I heard they had completed evacuating the city of Bei Luda

This planet is finished

It's not the planet that's finished, but us humans

I ask only one thing, to have enough time to finish this bottle

What's that?

Another evacuation ship?

That vibration, isn't it...?

A battleship!

There it is!

We were all like them All filled with youth

and we walked boldly.

This is it, this is the "Arcadia"!

Quick! It'll leave without us!

But the universe is immense...

and across the cosmos, human civilization is a fleeting flash of light

which lasts only a moment

It is really rare for one spark to meet another

Very rare indeed!

The solar system, the Milky Way

no matter how far you travelled you would find nothing

We were young and reckless, we had found how to exceed the speed of light "C",

and it was at that moment we realised

that each and every one of us was desperately alone

We were told you're recruiting!

Hire us!

We need just one!

Answer this question: why would you come aboard?

For the honour!

For money!

For freedom!

What's your name?

Yama

Just don't forget that word

'Freedom' is the emblem of our ship

Prepare to sail!

- Ready to sail! - Done!

Let Kei take care of the newcomer.

Why me?

You took responsibility for him...

Humanity was dying

Go! Speed it up!

Going forward was useless, there was nothing there.

Nothing changed

and despite this, Humanity continued its quest

and nobody really knew why they did so

Sir! Radar contact!

Contact's mass increasing

on LEO MX201

General Alert!

Incoming object...

speed increasing

120 seconds before collision

Dark Matter emissions detected!

Vessel class "Death Shadow"

It's the "Arcadia"!

"Arcadia"

Captain Harlock...!

I will take the helm

Captain is in command!

All hands to battle stations! Get to your stations now!

Hey! Don't get in my way!

They send out patrols in this backwater?

Excuse me...

-What can you do?

I was a gunner in the navy

Then follow them to the guns!

Preparing!

The target is a DS class ship

deploying fighters

Alpha leader to all pilots. Prepare for combat, engage enemy fighters

All pilots, target is armed with scattered gas

Pirates are using these kinds of weapons?

Approach the target's bow and commence dive bombing!

- Concentrate the attack on the target's bow! - Destroy it!

What?

There's no damage...

This is a ghost ship!

Who is in charge of Section 13?

The newcomer, sir.

Well, what do you know.

Target retreating, turned 180 degrees!

Engines 6 and 8 damaged! Down to 12% thrust.

Captain!

Signal received.

Agent F-111!

Come on guys! We're about to come alongside!

Get to the Hangar Deck!

Hand to hand combat! Move it!

Ready the gravity grapples, aim them well. Get on board!

Go!

Party time...

Don't move.

It's a retinal scanner.

It hurts.

After 4-5 minutes it'll wear off.

so, you managed to infiltrate

You saved me!

Don't wander around on your own.

We've taken control of the bridge. Kei, hurry up!

I know what I'm doing.

Hey, wait, what are you doing?

You're not wearing armour...

Gravity grapples now disconnected

Returning to normal navigation, leaving the area

Everyone is there?

It's like we're on a harvest.

Attention, the Captain's here!

We're going to shake free of the Coalition's pursuit.

Activate the Dark Matter generator.

Make ready to Jump

Roger that!

You heard the Captain! Start the Dark Matter Generator!

We have received a report that the MX Area patrol

was in contact with the pirate ship "Arcadia"

Our undercover agent F-111

will be able to continue his mission as planned

That ship

will soon be under our control

Once our agent has control Harlock will no longer be a threat to us

After 100 years the Gaia Colation is still hunting that betrayer.

we must finish him off for good!

Gaia Fleet will employ all its resources

About your undercover agent...

can we really trust him?

Yes!

Ezra

His Excellency, the Governor. appreciates your dedication.

It's my honour sir.

We'll be waiting for your good news.

He sent his own brother to infiltrate the enemy?

He uses strange methods.

But it demonstrates his loyalty to the Coaltion

If he didn't then he wouldn't command the Gaia Fleet

at such a young age. He will go far...

Without his accident, he could have become Chancellor

You know what they say: luck is as important as skill!

Nami

Tell me why Ezra?

Why did you give the task to Yama?

Is that a reproach?

I didn't force him to go. He made the decision on his own

Admiral, War Council meeting will start shortly

Understood.

I don't want to join the military

I want to be a botanical researcher like Mom!

This is impressive, huh?

"Arcadia" is equipped with a self-repair system

It can recover from almost any damage

and that's not all.

Thanks to our Dark Matter generator, it can sustain itself indefinitely!

It can travel any distance without the need for

refuelling or repairs,

Dark Matter generator?

Yes... just in front of you!

It's a relic from the Homecoming War a hundred years ago.

An infinite energy engine developed by a civilization that's now gone

The Nibelungen...

Yeah, we don't know how it works

Only the Nibelung can operate that thing

She's the last survivor

The only extraterrestrial known to date

but I still can't understand her

- Can I ask you something, Mr. Yataran? - Sure.

Captain Harlock? Is he really over a hundred years old?

Heroes are always surrounded by legends, you know?

But don't examine them too closely.. understand?

Here, there are a lot of guys who have no conscience

surely it's the same for you?

How's that?

Everyone is tired, you know?

Tired of all these people who prostrate themselves before the Gaia Coalition and think only of going back to live on Earth

Our lives are so bleak

we have a right to live as we wish, don't we?

You can't make people do what you want them to

Right?

Apparently we heard vibration at the stern. You've checked?

I inspected it but everything looks normal

Although there's no problem...

Well, get to the point...

Where are they hiding it?

The computer mainframe,

the holy of holies!

My old friend...

our long journey...

...will be completed soon.

You will not find what you seek here.

The time approaches

The decision is yours!

Why did you let him aboard?

You know what he is?

It looks like you expect something...

...a miracle.

It sounds foolish?

I simply just

observe what happens

Dokarga, the eighth planet of the Goru system

This is where we will set

the 99th...

the 99th?

The 99th what?

This is a Dimensional Oscillation bomb.

Humans have abandoned this colony planet

This is more dangerous than your usual work

Who will volunteer?

What's the matter? Are you guys scared?

I'll go.

No, it's out of the question. You have no training

You have to start somewhere. Take him with you...

Ok... be on the Hangar Deck in 10 minutes

Why did you volunteer?

To survive in this ship

takes luck and courage.

And then...

And then what?

I hope the Captain will finally notice me

By the way, what is this dimensional thing?

You'll soon find out

It uses optical camouflage.

Dimensional Oscillation Bomb.

He spoke of the 99th bomb...

Is it possible he's planning an act of terrorism?

Don't ask unnecessary questions

Installation co-ordinates are 32 degrees 7 minutes North Latitude

126 degrees, 4 minutes West Longitude

The Jim Dahl High Lands, east of the Wye Valley at the southern end. Mark, please.

Co-ordinates confirmed.

Descending now.

You start the installation work.

Watch out for corrosive gases

Listen carefully, the gas pressure here is high

Our suits will protect us for an hour at most

We'll have to be quick.

I don't particularly care for them

Nobody really knows how they can live in this environment

A biologist studied them to try and discover they managed it

And then?

It's said he went mad before publishing his findings

This is what might happen to me

This is why we want to start all over again.

"All over again"?

Humans have explored the universe

but have never found a planet comparable to Earth

We all want to return home, to our planet

Everyone wants to go Home.

but the Gaia Coalition has made the Earth off-limits

No-one is permitted to enter

They prevent us.

We can do anything, but the Earth couldn't support a massive migration

Everyone says that Humanity will soon come to an end

Humanity is scattered across the galaxy and it's dying out

Don't tell me that you want to

end your days on the planet where Humanity was born?

There is a solution

to go back to the distant past

to a time when humanity

still inhabited Earth

But how?

If we could create a Junction Point we could take control

I do not understand. A Junction Point?

Somewhere in the Universe

There is a place where different times are linked together

if we could break those links

the laws of causality would be void Causality would no longer exist

and the Universe would no longer be subject to time's shackles

Freedom

But it would require an enormous amount of energy to achieve it,

to resolve those links, one by one. They are everywhere in the Universe

Yes, I understand

We've already placed 98 bombs

If we put the last 2 in the right place

and then explode them simultaneously

We will create a Junction Point

Anyway, that's the Captain's theory!

The purpose of these bombs

I still don't understand it.

If what you just said proves wrong

we may all be destroyed!

I'm not worried, I trust the captain

Though I don't really agree with his goals

I still prefer it to dying miserably. Let's go!

What's happening?

I've never seen this before!

Hurry, get back!

What's going on? It's not a seismic tremor.

That's not a seismic tremor, they landed on a Strata Serpent!

Oh crap!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Let me go, I must go back!

Don't be a fool, do you want to die?

It was my fault he fell!

The gas pressure is too high.

You will die if you stay here. You will die with that idiot!

Let me go, I want to go back!

Sometimes you have all the bad luck.

I'm sorry

Captain!

This plant is dying.

This too. Why?

It was doomed, Yama

This was Mom's dream, to see plants found only on Earth

growing on Mars

Yama

Stop, this is madness!

Brother!

Brother

Don't come near me

Stay where you are

You're like this...

I didn't want to hurt you

I didn't... tell me what you want

Tell me what you want... I'll do anything!

Then become my legs

Take my place

You're going to run, to fight, in battle

That's what you're going to do. It will be your redemption.

... my redemption.

Captain, you're heading towards the lava fields

The Strata Serpent is active

I need to place the Bomb manually

Why?

Why did you do nothing? You know that Gaia sent me.

You became one of my men when you climbed aboard the "Arcadia"

What you talking about?

I'm here on a mission. I have to take the detonator

and I was also ordered to kill you

Is this what you want to do?

You have no chance of returning alive from this mission

And even if you succeeded there would be nobody to congratulate you

Nobody ordered you to board my ship

You came of your own free will

Why's there been no contact yet?

You have restored contact?

There's no signal on any of the radio frequencies

We can't confirm if they're still alive

It could have happened to any of us

and the Captain would have done the same thing

Captain,

without you we are completely lost.

Understand me, I do not want to kill you

I want to help you!

Freedom.

You said that when you boarded aboard the "Arcadia".

If what you said is true

fight against the shackles that bind you.

If you still want to kill me after that

you can use this

Maybe you will succeed without trembling

I wanted to give you 2 or 3 punches

but forget it!

What matters is that you both returned home safely.

Fight against the shackles that bind you

Well... we've deployed Bomb 99

The final one will be placed at the origin point of the galaxy

Latitude 0, Longitude 0

on our home planet

Earth.

Earth

Earth

Earth

Are you sure? The "Arcadia" is heading for Earth's solar system?

It's time

What about your agent? You have news?

Contact was broken

Don't let them get close to the Earth.

Please allow me to use the "Kaleido Star" system

With it we can destroy the "Arcadia" and its crew.

The "Kaleido Star" system...?

Using concentrated photon energy it collapses matter into a neutron star

it's a resource controlled by the Governemnt.

What would happen if Harlock managed to activate the Dimensional Oscillation bombs?

He won't activate them on a whim

Those bombs are the ultimate weapon to create a Junction Point

If we want to win

we absolutely need the "Kaleido Star" system

The slightest error and the whole universe would be destroyed

but nobody knows where our agent is?

Your Lordship... what's your decision?

The use of the "Kaleido Star" system is permitted.

Use all means to stop him!

You don't look worried, but there's been no contact from Yama.

I consider several options for every operation. It's called strategy.

You were ready to sacrifice your own brother from the start?

Do you hate him that much?

Gaia Coalition Fleet Command!

Order to all warships of the Gaia Fleet

"Scramble"

I repeat: "Scramble"

All operational vessels, prepare to leave dock

All ships, set systems ready for departure

After reaching transmitted coordinates go into Jump

Gejian Fleet, set weapons to "ready" mode

Jump travel time expected to be 45 minutes

Prepare engines for Jump

"Oceanus", Jump rendevous point coordinates now calibrated.

Attention. Admiral Ezra, commander of the main Fleet

Awaiting your orders

All vessels in the Gejian Fleet

Go immediately into Jump, rendevous at transmitted cordinates

and then the battle begins.

Admiral What are your orders?

We will engage the "Arcadia" and defend the solar system

Prepare for battle!

Roger.

All ships, login on the same coordinates

establish a line of defense around Pluto

All ships, begin Jump

My old friend

we begin our last voyage

Confused?

This is not the time

Red Alert! Enemy vessels approaching!

Enemy Fleet detected, 36,000 km directly ahead

They're forming a blockade

More vessels detected behind us

They're travelling at sub-light speed

They're trying to trap us between them

Do we engage them?

Maximum Power

We attack them head-on.

Understood.

Dark Matter generator at full power!

Weaponry, prepare the torpedoes!

Turn on the field, the main guns and anti-aircraft system!

It's really quite a grand welcome.

"Arcadia" in sight!

He's heading straight towards us.

He's trying to force through.

They've activated their Dark Matter shield.

All vessels, target the "Arcadia"

Admiral, we await your orders

Wait...

Just a little more...

Ezra

Now!

All ships,fire at will!

Our fire's being returned! We're hit!

Cease fire, cease fire!

Stop shooting!

What's happening? Emergency situation!

A hologram?

A clever trick...

"Arcadia" spotted in the outer rings of Saturn!

I knew

Admiral?

I heard! Second Fleet, Jump!

136 enemy ships have Jumped to within 7400 km of us

I think they were waiting for us

So we're not safe yet

They're not completely stupid then, eh?

Yama

Incoming transmission from the "Arcadia"

Using Gaia Fleet's access codes

Accept the connection

Ezra

You're still alive

Please abandon this mission.

Harlock never wanted to destroy the universe

The Council Of Elders is wrong

You can still find a solution!

Is that all you had to say??

I'm very disappointed in you.

Disconnect

Ezra!

Bring the "Kaleido Star" system online. Now!

The "Kaleido Star" destroys neutron stars

turning them into a source of extremely powerful light

If we manage to converge the photon energy at a single point

then the "Arcadia" won't have a chance!

Second Fleet vessels 84 to 93,

flank the "Arcadia" on both sides

I will use light to dispel this darkness

and finally banish this pirate into the darkness of the cosmos

A powerful gravitational field has appeared around the fleet !

What?

It's huge!

I can't give you an estimate!!

"Kaleido-Star".

Now!

Debris approaching.

Deploy shields, maximum power

The field is waning

Alert. Incoming debris...

Intense electro-magnetic interference, long distance sensors not registering

Reboot in 2 minutes

Report target's status.

carrying out visual and spectroscopic scans

There's no sign of the "Arcadia"!

... it's disappeared!

No.

Still searching...

This isn't possible, was it another hologram?

That's not possible?

The plan was foolproof.

"Arcadia", it's just emerged from starboard!

Impossible!

We can't turn away fast enough!

Heavy cruiser "Neired" completely destroyed!

"Ares" receiving heavy damage.

Urgent Message: all active vessels regroup. Block them!

"Arcadia" has disappeared into the gravitational perturbations

It's heading here...

The "Arcadia" is here!

Yama!

97% of vessels in the fleet are heavily damaged

Including the "Oceanus", only 17 ships remain functional.

Try to hold on!

Ezra, it's useless to resist.

The Geijan Fleet's flagship is a wreck

You should have left us on board.

Out of the question.

We're towing the "Oceanus"

to prove to the Gaia Coalition that we have hostages.

You're learning...

Thanks to you.

What if I told you the Federal fleet was only to serve as bait for our operation?

but I won't say any more just yet

Nami said it all!

Keep her out of this.

I decided to bet on Harlock

If he manages to create a Junction Point Humanity has a second chance!

And then we can...

Haved a second chance?

You don't understand anything

We're approaching Earth and about to enter the sanctuary zone.

It's been a century

Earth, the home planet

Here we are at the Junction Point

We can start all over again

Yes but... if we install a Dimensional Osciallation bomb

Earth could explode, right?

We can trust the Captain!

I'm sure he's thought of everything

Harlock has not told you everything

When we enter the sanctuary zone

you'll see what I mean.

But? What's that?

A hologram! It's a holographic projection!

That isn't Earth! It can't be! What does it mean?

Oh no!

Harlock committed a great sin.

This can't be true, the blue planet is a hologram projected by satellites

Captain?

A hundred years ago

Humanity was scattered across the universe

All wanting to return to Earth

a terrible war took place: the "Homecoming War"

Exhausted by this stupid conflict

Humanity approached its end but some clung to the Gaia Colaition's teachings

The Earth became a holy place

and no-one would desecrate this planet.

To enforce this edict the Gaia Fleet was put in charge of guarding Earth

Solar Federation Officer Captain Harlock commanded the battlecruiser fleet "Death Shadow"

Harlock?

The fleet consisted of 4 battlecruisers

equipped with Dark Matter generators

They seemed invincible.

And a man hoped to revive our dying civilization

Harlock met Toshiro, a former Solar Federation Officer

They became good friends

Our race was ending and he saved us all.

To thank him

we gave him all our technology

Harlock continued to defend the Earth

But

Only the leaders of the Gaia Coalition were allowed to live on Earth

That was the bargain for peace

Beautiful words do not end war

but Harlock

never accepted that.

Earth is a sacred place

and Harlock fought tirelessly for his beliefs.

They did not support the Gaia Coalition's betrayal.

Toshiro!

So the Gaia Coalition turned against him

Toshiro...

Ever since, Gaia has hunted Harlock

He ordered me to release the Dark Matter

He thought that if Dark Matter covered the Earth then...

the Earth would truly be inviolable.

He did not know the risks

I should have convinced him.

But it didn't happen as Harlock had expected

Dark Matter covered all of Earth

Dark Matter devoured the Earth

We thought it was all over

we thought it was the end

But...

Harlock rose up

Not the same Harlock we had known

Dark Matter had changed the ship, transformed it into a cursed pirate warship

5 years after the "Homecoming War" had ended

He stole 100 Dimensional Oscillation bombs

stored at Gaia's headquarters

and then he disappeared

The Gaia Coalition knew very well

the Junction Point theory

developed by the Nibelungen race.

There was no difficulty in working out what that albatross had in mind

You need to understand that this man

cannot bear his burden, he wants to end it all.

Yama

what would you do?

If a Junction Point is created

what becomes of the universe?

In this infinitely large bubble called the universe,

Junction Points are like corks,

If removed,

the whole universe will be return to nothing

then be reborn.

This is what you call "all over again"?

We have no choice.

Human existence

is a transient burst in the history of the cosmos.

The very fact that we exist

or that we existed,

none of this will matter when we have gone.

Ever since humans have understood it

they have tried to return to Earth

But this land

no longer exists!

She said

"all over again"

With this cursed ship

and body

which does not even have

the right to die

the only way to repent would be to end

my existence...

This is impossible!

Captain...

If you do this we would not be on board the "Arcadia". we'd already be dead

You cannot do that.

Kei

Activate the Dimensional Oscillation bombs.

Do it.

Harlock

don't carry the burden on your own.

You could find

another way.

What's happening?

We're moving away from Earth!

Who's doing this?

My old friend

you're betraying me now?

The "Oceanus" engines are under way.

They are in the engine room!

The prisoners have escaped!

How?

What's happening?

Close the exits

How come the prisoners are armed?

Don't let them on the bridge!

You!

Kei, you once told me

you would rather die.

Everyone is the same

but maybe some see farther than others.

Some...

So, this is your answer?

You have finally made your decision?

I had the choice

Are you immortal?

No...

I can be killed

but I am trapped here, a prisoner of my body

Interstellar Criminal, Code S-OO999

Harlock

for breach of Article 62 of the Law of the Union Planets

You are under arrest.

Breaking news has been received

Gaia Coalition has announced that

the fugitive hunted for a century for his crimes and blasphemies

known by the name of Space Pirate Captain Harlock and his crew of 40 men

have been captured by the Gaia Fleet

What have you done here?

Ezra

Where's Nami?

Stay away from my wife.

Why did you betray me?

Whatever..

I've known for a long time

you've always been in love with my brother

You don't really understand anything Ezra

I want to thank you for the love you have for me

I want to erase the hate that is in you

Stop your rhetoric! I've had enough!

Look!

Look what state you're in!

He's responsible for all this, isn't he?

Despite it all

you still love...

I just figured it out.

The person who's made you suffer so much isn't Yama

but me.

I'll confess the truth

You're right, I have always loved...

Enough...

I never loved you Ezra

No!

Stop!

Shut up!

I lied to you...

I'm sorry.

Ezra.

Nami...

What I like about him

in fact

is that he looks a lot like you.

Fool...

Fool.

Fool! Fool!

FOOL!

It was hers

She hacked into the Army's network

to communicate with you

With you...

Unfortunately, this is what would have caused the malfunction in her life support

I'm really sorry

You're lying!

Ezra, what did you do!

Look

Yama

this is the best place to grow flowers

You know, the ones your mother developed.

They've turned out strong, they will bloom beautifully.

Though he was reluctant Ezra eventually accepted

to let me handle the greenhouse cultivation.

I hope you can see the flowers with your own eyes

I know he hates you

It consumes him with such hatred

and you, living with such a sentence

and so painful for you

you must really be hard to live with

Finally, my dear,

Ezra has always been at my side

his gentleness made me feel at ease

I chose Ezra.

So, don't blame yourself...

Some day you will meet that important person.

When it happens, remember me

and remember that we are family

You look very weak

which is what we wanted

You will be executed

today, at noon

If we can neutralize the Dark Matter

which is the source of your immortality

your curse will be lifted

Did you know?

Why didn't you choose to kill yourself?

Don't tell me you seriously thought you could start "all over again"?

Sometimes you cling

to an illusion

even though we know it's in vain

It can get

everybody.

Congratulations, you will soon be free. Definitely free!

Today,

The time has come! The famous space pirate captain Harlock

and members of his crew will be executed

This performance will be broadcast on the Gaia Coalition intergalactic network

His Honourable Honourable, the Father of All , is sitting

The High Supreme Court of Gaia is now in session!

Order and Peace!

Order and Peace!

Our home planet

our Mother Earth

Mother of Gaia

to our children scattered throughout the universe

May she shine forever

until the day when all her children

finally find rest

So be it...

even if it is only an illusion...

Their nonsense speeches are just a waste!

We're just puppets here

You guys already know it

What did you say?

Stop! You're deplorable

So what?

We had nowhere to go

that's why we're all here

Well, there's at least one person here who's happy

Why do you say that?

Because you're going to die with your beloved Captain

You're just like Yama!

you're worthless

You're not qualified to complain

Neither you

nor me are...

we're just along for the Captain's ride

Hey, we've been ordered to evacuate the ship

What's with that guy?

Commencing field collapse

shield deployed, maintaining singularity

Maintaining state, gravitational pressure increasing

Spatial collapse rate rising as predicted

Spatial collapse reaching critical level

Reduce pressurisation level

Field collapse now imminent

Execution will occur

within 10 seconds

Alert! Explosion in pressurised areas!

Leaks detected

Dark Matter energy released!

Come quickly!

What are you doing?

I was wrong, I know it now

but it's too late

The Gaia Coalition, Harlock,

everyone is wrong

Go down to Earth, you'll understand what I mean

There's something you need to see

What, are you kidding? You want us to trust you?

We'll speak later!

The guards will return soon

we have to set sail

Kei,do you believe in him?

Well, if we stay here we're dead!

Here we go!

I hate this!

Show me the view inside the vessel

Yes!

A mutiny

someone's trying to prevent the execution

I understand!

Guards! Go in fully armed

Don't leave any survivors aboard the "Arcadia"!

Get off my ship! You have no place here!

We should be off, we need you!

Captain, we have to fight!

You're the only one who can control the "Arcadia"

Hurry!

Captain! Captain! Stand up!

You may indeed have destroyed the Earth

but you also gave us a second chance

This ship

We have this ship We have nothing else!

Harlock

Please look

You see this flower

I found it on Earth

What's going on?

Earth is trying to live again There's still hope

Nothing has ended, this is the beginning

Even if humanity ends

this flower, and the universe,

can live again

Humanity too, who knows?

Moments that repeat

Forever

This flower is proof

this would be it... Freedom?

My old friend

There is nothing we can do!

Dark Matter continues to spread!

We can no longer contain it

Jumped... where did the ship go?

They're heading to the sanctuary zone!

Towards Earth...

Mobilise all forces in the solar system

We must prevent the "Arcadia" approaching Earth at all costs

What's the status of the "Oceanus"?

Repairs are not yet completed

But it can get under way

As you wish, Your Excellency!

Amazing... the ship's guiding itself!

It's heading towards Earth

You think it wants us to create the Junction Point?

Yattaran

The Gaia Colation is communicating over the networks

Their hyperspace communications will allow us to broadcast throughout the universe

If we destroy Earth's satellite holographic projectors

Are you ready to show them

Yama

Are you ready to show them

the true face of the Earth?

Their ship has Jumped directly above Earth!

That is what we expected

Everyone to battle stations!

There're too many! I've lost count!

Keep navigating

and ignore them

Yattaran, you'll manage!

It's not that easy!

They're attacking the holographic projectors

Stop them at all costs! Fire at will!

Damage to Central Section, Port side!

Yattaran!

Alright then!

Got you!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, That's it!

I've got us a link

into the Gaia network!

Haha...

Yama...

We can't avoid it!

This is the "Arcadia"

I address all of Humanity

Don't look away

See it with your eyes

The Gaia Coalition wants to hide the truth

Look well on the true face of Earth

That's what the Homecoming War

made our beautiful planet

Can't you block the transmission?

But do not give in

to despair

The Earth is still alive

This Land of the Dead has gained new life

fragile life

but it can be nurtured

Repeating the cycle

Don't just rely on dreams

Don't be afraid to accept the truth

and finally, we can have a future

We are not alone in the universe

and even if our species were to disappear

other lives will follow us

Looking forward into the future

Until its last breath

all life in the universe

carries with it the promise of eternity!

That's what this flower tells us!

That's really stupid!

If we let them, they will certainly destroy the order of the universe!

Must at all costs stop the "Arcadia", before it is too late!

Don't panic

I am authorising the use of the Jupiter Accelerator

Jupiter Accelerator?

This is an ultimate weapon that was never completed

It was hidden away when the Homecoming War ended

but anyway...

the "Arcadia" is in orbit around the Earth, we can't...

You know as well as I, Admiral

planet Earth is no longer

a beautiful blue planet

We need to consider making it a sacrifice

Please wait! Your Excellency!

Order the Fleet to fall back Ezra

It looks like the enemy Fleet is retreating

I don't get it

That damned Gaia Fleet...

you think they're giving up because they've been unmasked?

No!

I see a ship approaching...

The "Oceanus"!

Ezra

All crew! Prepare for shock!

What are they trying to do?

Aim for the enemy ship! Fire the grapples!

They're trying to board us!

What? We're the ones who do that!

Kei, can you walk?

Oh no, not you...

Yattaran!

Approach if you dare! Because me, I'm not going anywhere!

Where's Ezra?

Get out of my way!

Operation of the guidance system bipolar rings activated

accelerating Jupiter's rotation

transition to firing

process separation rings ready activating radius plasma

Jupiter's acceleration is 60% capacity

rotation speed increasing

It's amazing, Jupiter is deforming...

In 180 seconds, it will be operational

"Oceanus" has collided with the "Arcadia",

apparently locked together

It's not important

We can always replace it

"Do not give in to despair" you think you're a savior now, Yama?

Where are you Ezra!

You couldn't even save the woman you loved

And you think you can save Humanity? What a joke!

I've got you now

you are so naive

is as futile as our mother's flower

You're pathetic!

Yet it has flourished,

what do you say to that?

Anyway, it's too late!

Nami would still be alive if you had had as much conviction at the time!

That was only the first test

the next beam from Jupiter

will explode the "Arcadia" and Earth

You know...

Captain, you must leave

Yes, but I have a task for you

Protect the Earth

You're the only one to have remained faithful

We haven't got complete control

It's not a problem

The test was successful, that's all that matters

The weapon hasn't been used for a century, it was inevitable!

Correct the targeting and quickly!

Secondary plasma energy level at 95%

Maximum level reached

Maintaining optimal levels of plasma required

Position target adjustment rings Hyperspace Gate, connection established

Beam positioned on objective "Arcadia", target locked

Automatic guidance system engaged

This is the last time we shall sea Earth

The illusion was sufficient for our needs

You know, like me our species will not live forever

Harlock

You're certain of what you're doing?

Forgive me

I did not let you choose

You bear little of the burden

I'm not sad, you know..

...we are born, we die

I know now that life is an eternal cycle

This will be the last time.

Release the Dark Matter!

This is the end...

But what happened?

The "Arcadia" has moved position!

And Earth came out of the line of sight

"Oceanus"?

Damn you Ezra!

To spare the Earth

you deliberately collided with the "Arcadia"

Why?

I just wanted to see

Nami's flowers

Ther're really beautiful

No, Ezra...

Ezra!

While the Earth is recovering

Humans will probably want to come back again

I think there won't be any more Junction Points

if we prevent a new Homecoming War

Any Dark Matter has been eradicated

It's time to kill me what do you think?

You want to shoot?

Another day maybe

but let's enjoy this world that Nami and Ezra have given us

You're right!

But if one day you see Humanity committing the same mistakes

then you will know what to do

Curses and terror

Constant repentance

with those there will be men

The myth of Captain Harlock

will continue to exist

forever...

This is the Coalition Planetary Fleet

you are surrounded

You are advised to surrender

All personnel leave the ship

and lay down your arms

If you refuse to surrender

we will attack

The day he saved us, I decided to devote my life to Harlock

I have always lived with the "Arcadia"

and I will die with him

"Arcadia"...

... Full Speed ​​Ahead !

Humanity grows

yet nothing seems to change

Despite this, Humaity continues its quest

and nobody knows why

but it does!
