Nobody talks about this one. A 1979 special that remakes two episodes from the TV series, condensing the story of a boy and an old man riding an infinite train through space into something tighter and stranger. The real question the special asks isn't about mechanical bodies or immortality, it's whether you can keep your humanity when everything around you stops mattering. The train moves forward. The passengers change. Tetsuro has to decide if he stays the same person or becomes someone else entirely. For a 40-minute special, it carries the weight of a feature film about letting go.

Galaxy Express 999: Can You Live Like A Warrior? is a 1979 science fiction special that reworks episodes 12 and 13 of the Galaxy Express 999 television series into a single episode. It recaps those two episodes and was made to draw new viewers into the series.
