Space Pirate Captain Harlock
"The sea of space is my sea,
my boundless dream."
"My song is the song of earth,
the home I can never forsake."
"My friend, I know this world has no tomorrow,
but I will fight for it."
"I live to protect it with my life,
I live to protect it with my life."

I wonder what the Captain's thinking about?
Don't know.
He's been like that for two hours.
I bet he's puzzled.
Puzzled?
Yeah. Should we go to Mars and Jupiter to look for Mazone bases like that last one,
or concentrate on being pirates?
[ Saint Jovannah Academy ]
It's been a while since I've seen you!
Well everyone, have a nice holiday.
Yes, Teacher! Goodbye!
See you.
See you later!
Mayu?
You can come to my room. We'll have some cookies.
Naah, that's okay.
Captain, have you made up your mind about where we're going?
You're a worrier when you're not at the helm.
I hear the ocarina.
Ocarina?
I don't hear anything.
That wasn't musical notes. It was just me firing one off.
I'm sure I heard it. I'm sure of it.
Hey!
Whoa, whoa, I'm getting seasick!
We're heading for earth!
What? For earth?
The Arcadia's out of our control.
Chief engineer Maji, check on the central computer!
Roger!
What's that? The Arcadia's out of control!
That's right, so I'll need some sake.
Right!
Is this all right?
It's perfect. Thank you. Excuse me.
Wait... What does sake have to do with the ship being out of control?
Strange... everything's functioning normally.
That's ridiculous.
If nothing's wrong, then we can't be out of control.
Captain, we have to do something.
If we keep going like this, we'll collide with earth.
That's right. Don't you think all hands should evacuate?
Captain!
You've gotta do something.
The captain of this ship is Harlock.
Just leave everything to Harlock.
That'll take some guts!
The Arcadia is a great ship, built by a great scientist.
Built by Harlock's best friend.
Mimay reasons by getting all mysterious so we'll relax.
Ahh well, I guess I'll go work on my model.
My friend, just do as you please.
Commander, it's the Arcadia! Harlock's coming!
What?
Way to go, Peregrine!
Mr. Prime Minister! Harlock has come back to earth.
Let Harlock do what he wants. He's beyond our control.
Like hell he is! I'll get him, no matter what!
Do whatever you want!
Harlock!
Welcome aboard, Mayu.
Good afternoon!
Is it all right to have her aboard with the ship acting funny?
Why did you bring me aboard? Why?
- Well, because... - Because why?
We're heading back into space again.
What's this ship up to? What on earth's going on?
Commander, the Arcadia's returning to space.
What did he come back for?
Ohh, it's beautiful!
Everyone please clear the bridge!
"Long, long ago, in the field,
a lovely flower bloomed."
"Long, long ago,
people had geantle, smiling faces."
" It is the truth, it is the truth,
though you may not believe it."
"That is what the earth was."
"That is what this planet was."
Your friend is happy.
Mmm-hmm.
Have you found out what the damage is?
The ship is moving normally.
There just ought to be some kind of damage.
This is the first time this has happened.
It's as if it had its own mind.
I really don't want to think about that.
What's that voice?
It's not a voice, it's just a sound.
No!
It's a voice!
It sounds like it's crying!
It stopped!
Captain, there's a third signal coming from earth!
What's happened?
Take a look. This signal originates from the pennant,
this signal is from the undersea pyramid...
And its location?
The North Atlantic ocean, off the coast od South America.
Isn't that around the Sargasso Sea?
Isn't the Sargasso Sea called the 'graveyard of the ocean'?
Yep. It's said that a ship that enters that region of sea never comes back.
I'd rather this not become a ghost ship.
The helm's become operable.
Still, I don't think it's a good idea.
Come on, let's head back.
Atmospheric contact in twenty seconds.
Start atmospheric engines.
Starting engines.
Engine output, 45 percent.
Roger!
Align wing flaps.
Here she goes!
Here he comes again!
Damn...
Did you have fun?
Yes, lots!
See you.
Be careful.
That's strange. The third signal has disappeared.
We're in the Sargasso Sea region. Set down on the water.
Are we going to dive?
No. It's said you can get tangled up in the seaweed that grows around this area.
Better if we don't go carelessly diving in, right?
Propellor sound approaching! Thirty degrees to starboard!
It's a torpedo!
It's a dud. It's caught on the intake fin.
It's not a nuclear torpedo?
It's filled with gunpowder.
Gunpowder? That ancient stuff? All right, bring it in.
This is definitely a ghost from prior to 1945.
It's a type of torpedo that was used during the second World Ward.
Kei, where's the submarine?
It's circling off to starboard.
Is it an atomic ship?
No, it has a diesel engine.
A diesel? I see...
If my friend who built the Arcadia saw that, he would cry with joy.
He loved things like that.
Is it going to fire again?
It's running away.
Follow it!
It looks like an "I" class submarine.
Photograph it with the infrared camera and run it through the computer.
Yes sir!
This submarine is the I-168 from the old Japanese navy,
active during the battle of Midway in 1942.
So it is an I-boat. How nostalgic.
Nostalgic? This submarine's a thousand years old!
I mean its functional beauty as a warship. I love its shape.
I used to search through books for pictures of it a lot.
But what's such an ancient submarine doing here now?
You don't think it's a ghost ship?
Would a ghost ship fire torpedoes?
That's right!
Well, yeah, okay...
Jet fighter squadron approaching from above to starboard!
All planes, scramble!
Look at that. The garrison forces sniffed us out again.
You're talking about the one soldier brave enough to oppose me.
There's only one... just Commander Kiruta.
Should we counterattack?
I'll forgive an attack from an earth-born opponent.
We can't be taken out by a bunch of mosquitoes.
To the Arcadia, this is no worse than mosquito bites.
What's that?
This is awesome! It's the great Musashi, a battleship that was active during World War II!
Couldn't it be a three- dimensional image?
Damn that Harlock! He even has a ghost ship on his side!
Withdraw!
The earth garrison forces are running scared from a ghost ship!
What's wrong? What're you yelling about?
What's happening? I don't understand this at all!
Daiba!
Attack it from above.
Yes sir!
All hands to battle stations. Emergency positions! 15 degrees to port!
Distance, 2000.
Correct firing angle, 08. Take direct aim.
Turret direction, 18 degrees port.
Fire!
It's become quiet. Is it over?
Yes, it's over. It was a successful sinking.
Sinking?
I see. How sad.
Arcadia, begin underwater journey.
Captain, what're you planning to do?
I can't understand it.
A thousand year-old submarine and battleship...
Someone was moving them. Someone...
How amazing. Snow in the ocean.
This is marine snow. It's dead plankton.
I see. Daiba, you know a lot, don't you?
Naww...
An intense signal! It's the same as the one coming from the undersea pyramid!
Never mind that. Keep going.
What's that?
A dome...
What's the shell's composition?
It's like soft plastic.
Plastic isn't strong enough to withstand the water pressure at the sea floor.
It may be a Mazone undersea base.
Shall we go in?
How can we get inside?
The Arcadia will punch through to the inside.
That's reckless!
This is the pirates' way.
Ram electric charge output, 100 percent. Here goes!
That's amazing! The torn part is restoring itself!
How pretty. It's full of ships and planes.
Great, isn't it? It's a world of classics.
It's like some other dimension.
Don't let your guard down.
Maybe the battleship and submarine encountered this ghostlike thing and were lured in.
Yeah, that's what I think, too.
Welcome, Captain Harlock.
Who are you? How do you know my name?
I am Aman, ruler of the seas.
You're a Mazone?
I pledge loyalty to Queen Lafresia.
You Mazone killed my father!
Daiba!
I feel so sleepy.
So do I.
I think I'm drunk.
What's wrong with all of you? Hurry back to the Arcadia.
Look in there, Harlock.
One day here is the same as one year on the surface.
Sleep well... In a hundred years I'll return you to the surface...
...to a world ruled by the Mazone.
Sleep, sleep well, Harlock.
What can I do?
What on earth can I do?
My friend... my friend...
My friend!
What's happening? Everyone on the ship should be asleep!
Get aboard ship!
Wait! Don't shoot!
My castle!
My life...
You saved us, my friend.
Who are you talking to?
The ship mysteriously moved again.
It saved us, moving on its own.
It was built by a great scientist...
So it's a great ship?
Yes.
Arcadia, blast off!
Harlock...
Harlock!
I heard a very interesting story today.
It's called 'Urashima Taro'.
'Urashima Taro'?
Yes. It's a very old story.
Urashima Taro saved a turtle's life, and was invited to the sea god's palace at the bottom of the ocean.
A very beautiful princess was there.
A princess?
Yes. Urashima Taro had a very good time there.
But when he returned to the surface,
a hundred years had passed.
A hundred years?
Yes. Isn't that an interesting story?
It's just like Aman's witch castle.
The sound of Mayu's ocarina soothed the heart of Harlock, who had fought the witch Aman.
But Harlock could see beyond the evening sky,
to the image of the great Mazone fleet and Queen Lafresia, heading to earth from a far, dark galaxy.
The next battle had already begun.
"If you like it, come aboard this ship."
"Only here are your long lost dreams alive."
"Where did that lovely wildflower go?"
"Where did that gentle soul go?"
"Come aboard this ship if you need to live"
"Only here are your long lost dreams alive."
