In Matsumoto’s original 1977-79 Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, the title character rebels against Earth’s inept government and fights for humanity with his crew of 40 aboard the invincible space battleship Arcadia.
The manga’s main character is Captain Harlock, who fights against the Metanoids and their leader the dark goddess Darqueen.
Captain Harlock, Darqueen, and the Metanoids appear in various works in Matsumoto’s interwoven science-fiction universe.
