Cosmo Warrior Zero (コスモウォーリアー零（ゼロ）, Kosumo Wōriā Zero) is a science fiction third-person shooter video game released by Taito. It was adapted into an anime television series in 2001.

Plot

The long war between the planet Earth and the machine men is finally over, resulting in a peace that is more a victory for the machine men than the Earth. Warius Zero lost his family in the war to the machinemen but despite this he still is a member of the Earth fleet that is now working in concert with the machine men. His ship, made up of both humans and machine men, has been given a near impossible task: capture the space pirate Captain Harlock. While Zero struggles to accomplish this task, evidence begins to surface that the peace between machine men and Earth may not be as it seems.

After having his wife and child disappear in the battle between the humans and Machine men, Zero has no choice but to serve Earth's government as a Captain of second rate ships. After a run-in with the legendary Captain Harlock, Zero is given the new task of hunting down the space pirate. With his new controversial crew of machine men and humans and his old ship, the Karyū (Fire Dragon), Zero sets out to complete his mission and to keep his crew from fighting.
