Emeraldas, as Emeraldas from Space Pirate Captain Harlock? The ship is somewhat different, though


Lahla from the Double Planets had different opinion on this regard

Quite interesting episode, loving the crossovers this time being Captain Emeraldas! I do wonder what backstory they have together but in general I really liked this episode. I do wonder if we'll see Captain Harlock himself in the future!

That defense system was rather useless.

That stupid robot wanted Maetel's "flesh" body? -_-

3/5 Pretty disappointing for an episode featuring Emeraldas.


emeraldas+maetel=yuri love at it's finest...

Not sure if incestuous love should be considered the finest representation of homosexual romances.

@RafaelDeJongh It's not a spoiler for this series: they're sisters (theoretically, it might depends on the author's mood).

In one of the OVA suddenly the Yamato appears as well rather than just the ships from GT999, Emeraldas and Harlock.

This dates probably from the short period right before the famous legal duel between matsumoto and the Yamato producer/creator when Leiji thought he could just use it like he wanted and tried to integrate it in its "extended universe", or right after the process once he was granted the right to use the Yamato anime's designs but not the names and story. (a short time later, both creators were legally reminded that A company had bought the rights and had the decision power XD)
You can check the court history behind the Yamato franchise if you're interested. It's something .

After watching the whole franchise and all its side stories it indeed became quite clear. The only thing I still can't turn my head around is that in one of the OVA suddenly Uchuu Senkan Yamato appears as well rather than just the ships from GT999, Emeraldas and Harlock.

Emeraldas is an important figure in Maetel's past. She is like an eternal rival of each other. An interesting way to create a link of Maetel's relationships, as she is still a mystery. Anyway, it was a good episode.

We finally get to see Emeraldas! I thought that there was something fishy about that cloaked person claiming to be her.

Hopefully, the real Emeraldas will recuperate, and appear again in the future.

As Maetel stated herself "I can't die"
So she isn't human. But what is she.
I want to know more about Emeraldas background.
Haven't watched the rest. Started with this.
She looks like a great character.
