Space Pirate Captain Harlock: Mystery Of The Arcadia

Space Pirate Captain Harlock

A mysterious signal emanates from the Sargasso Sea.

At the bottom of this sea of death, the Mazone witch Aman has laid a fearsome trap.

Harlock and his forty crewmen are down to their last resort.

Then suddenly the Arcadia, with no one to man it...!

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?

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.
