Workshop
Arcadia of My Youth
Arcadia of My Youth is the second anime entry into the Space Pirate Captain Harlock franchise and is the only (yet released) theatrical film in the franchise. The film establishes the backstory of the primary cast, and resulted in a directly-related spin-off television series, Arcadia of My Youth - Endless Orbit SSX. The film was first released in English by Just For Kids Video as Vengence of the Space Pirate. While Vengeance was the first Harlock release in the United States to keep most of the original work's plot and character names, it cut nearly 30 minutes of footage that Just For Kids felt was too violent for their intended demographic. The film was later released in an uncut, subtitle-only format by Animeigo.

8.8cm FlaK 36 Anti-Aircraft Artillery
During the WWII segments, a number of German 8.8cm FlaK anti-aircraft cannons are seen being fired during the Allies' advancement into France.
Cosmo Percussion M78
The Cosmo Percussion M78, a fictitious laser pistol commonly seen in the Harlock franchise, makes an appearance when Tochiro reveals that he has managed to obtain two of the weapons despite the Illumidus Empire's restriction against human civilians owning weapons.
Miscellaneous Fictitious Laser Weapons
Several other fictional laser weapons are seen in the film. Unlike the M78, none of these possess an official designation, despite many of them being commonly seen in other Harlock series.
Gravity Sabre
Emaeraldas' primary weapon is an laser rifle known as the Gravity Sabre, which doubles as both a stockless laser rifle and a sword. Despite its name, the Gravity Sabre's size and cup hilt cause it to bear a closer resemblance to an 18th century Italian rapier than to a sabre. Harlock acquires his iconic Gravity Sabre near the end of the film.
Trivia - Military Hardware
One key element to the film is a Revi C/12D gunsight owned by Phantom F. Harlock II (Harlock's ancestor). The Revi C/12D was an actual precision sight used by Axis fighter planes during World War II. In the film, Phantom F. Harlock II uses it in conjunction with the primary armaments of his Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter plane, a pair of Mauser MG 151/20 machine guns. Leiji Matsumoto himself owns a working Revi C12/D gunsight, which he lent to the animators as a reference during production.
