Gun Frontier In this remake of Captain Harlock, the scar-faced space pirate is in this series a drifting gunslinger along with his midget piano-teethed commrade Tochiro. Tochiro is bad with a gun, but swift with the sword he keeps in his staff. They go from town to town causing trouble but ultimately puting things right, despite the fact that they kill alot of people along the way to do so. They are looking for a group of Japanese immigrants in the western United States during the old west. Hoping to find a lead at Samurai Creek, they get more than they bargained for. Harlock and Tochiro ultimately become enemies of a group known as the Orginization(a pseudonym used by numerous bad guy groups in anime). Gun Frontier lasted only 13 episodes, and whether it has any definative connection to the futuristic Captain Harlock is uncertain, much like alot of the continuity in what is called the "Lejiverse".
