Synopsis:

The Gun Frontier presents a desolate landscape where survival demands strength and resilience. Captain Harlock, a seasoned sea captain, and Tochiro, a wandering samurai, find themselves navigating this harsh frontier in the American West. Their journey is marked by encounters with exploitation – corrupt law enforcement, organized crime, and ruthless outlaws – as they pursue a hidden truth. Joining them is a woman shrouded in mystery, whose presence hints at deeper secrets within the frontier's history. Driven by a quest to locate a lost clan of Japanese immigrants, Harlock and Tochiro relentlessly traverse the Gun Frontier, confronting injustice and challenging the established order. The series explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for dignity in a land defined by its unforgiving nature.
