* LadyVessel: The titular starship is named after her own captain. It is also completely crewless, except for said captain, and is run entirely by a [[SpaceshipGirl sophisticated AI]]... whose voice and personality are ''also'' copied from Emeraldas', making her and her ship functionally the same being in two very differently sized bodies.

* ImpressedByTheCivilian: El Domain and his First Officer are menacing a bar, asking for the identity of the ship that attacked his fleet. Hiroshi Umino, working at the bar, throws off his apron and tells them not to threaten his customers. They nearly shoot him, until a cloaked woman at the counter says that if an opponent is unarmed, they should fight unarmed. The First Officer obliges, beating Hiroshi, but [[{{Determinator}} Hiroshi refuses to stay down]] and starts gettting in some good hits of his own. At this point, the First Officer draws his gun again, only to find the cloaked woman shooting his blaster out of his hand with a gravity saber, revealing herself to be Emeraldas, and saying that Hiroshi, though a boy, was more a man than El Domain and his minions.

* NoKillLikeOverkill: Attacked by hundreds of ships, Emeraldas doesn't react at first, due to the enemy holding hostages. The very moment the hostages escape, she opens fire... and annihilates 70% of the enemy ships WITH THE FIRST SALVO! Yes, the ''Queen Emeraldas'' has that many guns. Incidentally, that's when the villain gets an OhCrap face. Oh, and one of the ''many'' guns of her ships is a WaveMotionGun, and she was about using it on the main villain's ship before his boss beat her to the punch...

* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: Vaidas claims this happened to him off-screen: yearning for recognition, he worked in dangerous environments, and the wear and tear eventually forced him to replace most of his body with machine parts... and at some point, he devoted his entire life to pursuit of more sophisticated parts for himself, slaughtering everyone in his way, with the ultimate goal of revenge against those who denied him.

* TimeSkip: Implied. At the end of episode 2, Hiroshi just begins gathering materials for his ship, but in the beginning of episode 3, he is already taking her out for a test flight.

* WeaponsBreakingWeapons: When Gamor is headbutted by Hiroshi, he draws a laser pistol on the boy. Emeraldas, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines, draws her Gravity Saber and casually vaporizes Gamor's pistol, calling out, "Enough." Then, to add insult to injury, she nods to Hiroshi and says that he's more of a man than Gamor is.

''Queen Emeraldas'' (1998-99) is somewhat of an oddball of the Anime/{{Leijiverse}} -- an {{OVA}} that, for the first time, placed the [[LadyOfWar beautiful and deadly]] SpacePirate Emeraldas under the spotlight, after she had previously appeared as a side character in both ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' and the assorted ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' media. It is a partial adaptation of Creator/LeijiMatsumoto's manga of the same title from 1978-79, but ties in with the 1998 ''Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy'' movie -- in fact, these two were the first new entries in TheVerse to be animated since the original Matsumoto boom folded in Japan around 1982. The OVA was also the first installment of TheVerse to establish Emeraldas as the twin sister of ''[=GE999=]'''s Maetel.

** Anime/CaptainHarlock appears twice throughout the series, both times in Emeraldas' flashbacks (of her first meeting with Tochiro and of her duel with Siren, where [[spoiler:''Arcadia'' evacuates an injured Tochiro]]).

* DistaffCounterpart: Emeraldas started off as essentially a female counterpart to Anime/CaptainHarlock, seeing how their respective defining mangas (''Queen Emeraldas'' and ''Space Pirate Captain Harlock'', respectively) began publication just one year apart. In this series, however, she appears to have appropriated many traits from another Leijiverse mainstay, Maetel, whom she claims as her sister.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Emeraldas, one of the most badass beings in the universe, has a very deep and powerful voice, courtesy of her long-time actress [[Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles Reiko Tajima]] (although this would be her last appearance in this role). Her major female opponents, such as Queen Baralooda and Goddess Siren, follow suit.

* JollyRoger: When Arfressian captain El Domain starts sporting the same skull and crossbones motif on his flagship, Emeraldas takes exception and tells him to remove the symbol, which only she and Harlock have the right to bear, or else! El Domain doesn't heed her warning. Emeraldas makes good on her threat, wiping out the Arfressian fleet after they try to kill her for El Domain's wounded pride.
