Description
Operating in the late 30th century, the space pirate known as Young Harlock appears in "Cosmo Warrior Zero Gaiden". Approximately 23 years old, he stands 183 cm tall, possesses a slender and handsome appearance, and bears a distinctive cheek scar.
Harlock fiercely resists living under the control of the mechanized forces dominating Earth. He values personal freedom and adventure above all else, driving him to the life of a space pirate. He commands the battleship Arcadia, a vessel he built, remodeled, and continuously improved with the help of his close friend and engineering genius, Tochiro Ōyama. The Arcadia serves as both his ship and a symbol of defiance.
Within "Cosmo Warrior Zero Gaiden", pirates kidnap Captain Warrius Zero, commander of Earth forces, intending to use him as bait to defeat Harlock. This plan exploits Harlock's sense of duty and honor, specifically a promise he made to Tochiro to protect his laboratory on a remote planet characterized by mushroom-like flora. Despite recognizing the trap, Harlock feels bound by his vow and intervenes. His intervention directly collides with the pursuits of other key figures during a decisive battle, including Zero, the bounty hunter Sylviana, and the pirate hunter.
His interactions, notably with his long-time space companion Yattaran, and his adversarial yet complex relationships with figures like Zero and Lady Emeraldas, illustrate his role. He represents resistance against oppressive regimes and embodies the romanticized ideal of the freedom-seeking space outlaw within Leiji Matsumoto's broader narrative universe.
