Maybe not as known as the Yamato from Starblazers to the U.S. audience, this is the ship of Captain Harlock in "Arcadia of My Youth", "Galaxy Express" etc.
For the story, the original ship is the blue one (as seen in "Albator 78" - the serie with the Sylvidres / Mazones). Due to a problem of licensing rights with the blue vessel (between Takatoku, Takara and maybe Bandai ?), Leji Matsumoto had to re-design his ship for the full-length movie and the following episodes. Gone was the cutting blade (which would come back for "Endless Odyssey" !) and the nose was replaced by the Jolly Rogers - sweet !
