* RagtagBunchofMisfits: almost every named crew member are extremely eccentric, will do whatever the hell they want outside of battle (including racing rats and playing go in the middle of the hall), not afraid of back-talking or even disobeying Harlock to an extent, but when things get serious, everyone from the First Mate to the Cook all buckle down and show why the Arcadia is the most feared ship in the known universe. As Kei notes, almost every new crew member is shocked and dismayed by how disorganized and ''weird'' the crew is until they enter battle.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the ''Dimensional Voyage'' while he dismisses Dr. Daiba's warning, it wasn't entirely out of laziness, but it's because it's election year and he knew news of an invasion would [[CorruptPolitician hurt his re-election chances]]. This also by proxy gives him a more [[AdaptationalVillainy Villainous]] cast as he then proceeds to actively suppress warnings in order to. He's still not very smart, but far more savvy than his original '78 anime version.

* CynicIdealistDuo: Harlock is the Cynic to Tochiro's Idealist - and he outright admits he thinks Earth is too far gone while Tochiro believes there's still a chance, though by the end of most series, he generally comes around to Tochiro being right.

* TheStoic: Harlock is not one to smile, let alone emote. This makes his scenes of ManlyTears more impactful. Or the even rarer times that [[https://i.imgur.com/De46Rop.jpg he smiles]]. Notably series where he's considerably younger, he's far more emotive.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's either this or {{NonActionGuy}} depending on series, but in the ones where he's this, Tochiro tends to come off as a silly skirt chaser, or even spineless as he tries to shrug off bullying attempts - but if pushed too far, he'll show he's far more dangerous than he appears.
