Space Pirate Battleship ARCADIA Third Ship

The Arcadia is the legendary starship and operational base of Captain Harlock, the famous space pirate created by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto. Designed and built in strict secrecy by his close friend Tochiro Oyama, it embodies the ideals of freedom and encapsulates the very spirit of its creator. It is renowned for its ram-style prow, the black-and-white skull (Jolly Roger) emblazoned on its bow, and an aft castle furnished in an antique style. Versions: Throughout the animated sagas, the starship appears with two different liveries. In the original 1970s animated series, it is green-blue in color, whereas in the prequel film *Arcadia of My Youth* (1982), it features a classic red color scheme and is equipped with a large, blade-like forward ram.
