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 how 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
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 rendez-vous 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!
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
#Execution in 10 minutes#
#All guards, leave the ship#
#I repeat#
#all guards, leave the ship#
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!
#What's going on?#
A mutiny
someone's trying to prevent the execution
#terminate the broadcast!#
#Dispose of them immediately!#
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!
