How would you feel if the original plans for Yamato went through and Harlock made his debut in the original series?

Mamoru Kodai becoming a space pirate surely beats his completely pointless death later in the original series' timeline, but it depends on how they went about it. One of the ideas had him pretty close to the actual Harlock, but in another one he suffered from some terminal illness and was barely kept alive by machine, with him basically only showing up once. That "Harlock" would have been quite pointless, and the character likely wouldn't be nearly as famous if he had debuted like that, but the more standard take on him could have led to some interesting crossovers down the line.

Like shit. Because then Harlock would've belonged to Nishizaki. Imagine...

Nothing of value would be lost. Harlock never amounted to anything worthwhile. He only looks cool and repeat vague monologues. That's literally all he does. I can't think of a more pointless character.

The one on the left looks god-awful. YIKES.
