In
the future mankind has made quite a number of advancements in space travel.
For those with enough money, it is possible to travel on the Galaxy Express
999 from Megalopolis station, on Earth, to a number of places in the known
galaxy. Tetsuro Hoshino wants to board the Three Nine very much so that
he can travel to Andromeda and get a free mechanical body. With this new
body, he hopes to take revenge on Count Mecha, who hunted down and killed
his mother. Tetsuro finally manages to get a ticket on the Galaxy Express
999 with the help of an odd girl named Maetel. Together they visit several
places before getting to Andromeda. The first stop is the Jupiter moon
of Titan. This reformed world is a place where anyone can do simply anything
they want at anytime. Here Tetsuro rescues Maetel from a bandit king named
Antares. He also meets the mother of Tochiro Oyama, the genus designer
of the space ship Arcadia of my Youth. The second stop is Pluto. The real
bodies of those who got mechanical bodies are stored on Pluto. Here Tetsuro
meets the caretaker of these "graves", an odd girl named Shadow.
On the Three Nine Tetsuro gets to know a young girl named Claire, who has
a mechanical body made of glass. Claire is working on the train to get
enough money to buy her real body back. On their way to the third stop,
the Three Nine is met by Queen Emeraldas, the infamous female pirate. The
third stop is a place called Trader's Fork on the planet Heavy Melder.
Here Tetsuro meets Tochiro Oyama and Captain Harlock, the very infamous
space pirate. Here also, is the current location of Count Mecha's Time
Castle and the long awaited battle between Tetsuro and the Count is staged.
The final stop and terminating station is the Mechanization Homeworld.
