Description
Warrius Zero, known as Zero, stands as the central protagonist. The loss of his family in the war between humans and mechanized beings deeply shaped him. Despite this personal tragedy, he continued service in the Earth fleet after the mechanized forces achieved dominance.
Zero commands the battleship Karyu (Fire Dragon), leading a crew of both humans and mechanized soldiers. His primary mission is to pursue and capture the space pirate Captain Harlock, a task fraught with internal conflict due to their shared history as former comrades. Bound by duty to uphold the fragile peace enforced by Earth's government, he wrestles with his resentment towards mechanized beings.
Aboard the Karyu, Zero confronts deep-seated prejudice against mechanized beings, both within his crew and within himself. His initial animosity evolves through interactions with mechanized individuals like his first officer, Marina Oki, who underwent mechanization to survive ecological collapse on her aquatic homeworld. Witnessing such circumstances fosters greater understanding, leading him to enforce unity by declaring all personnel "soldiers," erasing distinctions of origin.
His relationship with Marina develops mutual respect and romantic affection, challenging his preconceptions. He learns many mechanized beings transformed for survival or medical necessity, contrasting sharply with elites who sought immortality through mechanization. This realization shifts his focus towards opposing systemic corruption rather than blanket condemnation.
Zero's arc involves reconciling duty with personal trauma while navigating moral dilemmas. He intervenes against human rebels attacking mechanized stations and confronts mercenaries targeting mechanized regimes, upholding principles of justice over factional loyalty. His leadership emphasizes protecting all under his command equally, suppressing crew tensions through decisive action.
His pursuit of Harlock uncovers deeper conspiracies threatening the solar system, culminating in confrontations with figures like Galaxy Governor General Zeth Water. These events solidify his resolve to forge a path defined by protecting lives rather than perpetuating cycles of vengeance.
Regarding the Gaiden installment "Young Harlock o Oe! ~Cosmowarrior Zero Gaiden", no concrete information about the character's portrayal, additional backstory, or development specific to this sequel is provided in the available material.
