It isn't a brother relationship akin to Kamina and Simon. In all the series, Daiba and Harlock are actually pretty distant from each other. Daiba always starts out desperate and in awe of Harlock, but very intimidated and put off by his ways. Matsumoto himself said Daiba was the audience stand in. But as the series progresses (both the old TV series and the new OAV) Daiba comes to understand and respect Harlock and the influence, the kind of Leading by Example Harlock does really does rub off on him. He becomes less of a boy and more of a man in his own right.
The old 79 TV series and the oav Remake.. the series with Daiba in them... are oldstyle coming of age tales of loss, adventure, redemption etc.
The other Harlock stories (Arcadia of my You, SSX series, Gun Frontier and even Cosmo Warrior Zero etc) all take on other yarns, but if you want the Daiba and Harlock stuff, go for the old TV series or the Endless Odyssey OAV.
The TV series is fansubbed (Live Evil) slowly, you can see some of it streamed online at the usual places. The Endless Odyssey OAV is worth buying or renting.
Daiba is voiced by Tomokazu Seki in the OAV if that's any more bait.. though I like oldschool Daiba with his horrible green uniform. He was less a punk and more inspiring.
just a note.. I'm all for slash etc but it becomes SO HARD to imagine Harlock in any sexual situation. Especially by the time he meets up with Daiba. I'd leave the slashing to Matsumoto's other space opera series.
