People call upon these so-called nine warriors.
However, for the sake of love,
For the sake of the weak who have forgotten how to fight,
Crossing over the tears of bloody waters,
In the midst of dreaming, running through the wilderness, oh yeah !
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !
The two nations of Tylon and Zudisia have been engaged in an extremely long border dispute...
...that seems as though it would never come to an end.
But, in hopes for peace, the leaders of both nations have united in their endeavours...
...to forever uphold peace by agreeing to sign a treaty renouncing war between the two countries.

The Shapeless Assassin
Script Writer Yoshida Yoshiaki
Director Yoshida Yoshiaki
Professor, no matter how much you object, I'm still going.
What business do you have over in Zudisia, anyway ?
By any chance, 004, you wouldn't happen to be...?
"The Tylon - Zudisia Disputes End."
"Fifteen Years of War Come to an End."
"Both Countries Establish Diplomatic Relations."
Yes, that is precisely what I have in mind, Professor.
The signing ceremony between the two countries should be taking place three days from now.
It's taking place in Zudisia's Peace Palace.
There, Tylon's President Dragu and Zudisia's President Pyrenen will preside over the signings.
I heard that President Dragu was going to offer his beloved pet, a Persian cat...
...to Pyrenen as a present after the ceremonies.
004, are you saying that you suspect something unusual might happen ?
Well, I can't make positive affirmations at the moment,
but there are a few miscreants out there who will attempt to hinder the peace negotiations.
If any intrusions were to come and disrupt the peace conference, then both countries...
...would once again be engaged in yet another bloody war !
I'm not about to allow this sort of thing to happen ! I'm going !
Wait, 004 !
We're going with you !
Don't be foolish. I don't want to get any of my friends involved on account of my feelings, 009.
Your feelings, eh ?
Professor ?
Let him do as he pleases.
But...!
Oh, don't bother !
004 is fully capable of taking care of himself.
We should all comply to 004's wishes.
And so, 004 took a journey to the nation of Zudisia alone.
I've decided to accompany you.
P - Professor ?! What are you doing here of all places ?!
Come on, it's really nothing to be surprised about !
So it's you, eh ? You bastard !
W - W - Wait ! Don't get agitated, 004 !
I only came here to deliver you a press pass Professor Gilmore issued to us !
With these, everything will be A-okay !
In the past, a tragic incident befell 004 in regards to war.
A country was torn apart into an eastern and western division by this, the Berlin Wall.
004, in search of freedom, was planning to pass through the wall with his fiancée, Hilda.
Well, are you frightened, Hilda ?
Just as long as I can leave this country with you,
I don't care about the risks we have to face.
Listen closely, Hilda. We finally got this chance to seize the opportunity.
I'll use my occupation as a part-time truck driver transporting wild animals,
so in the meantime, you wear that lion costume...
...and remain quiet inside this transport container.
We'll be able to pass through the gates with the utmost of ease !
The gates...!
Your pass ?
All right.
Hey ! There's one too many lions in here !
Um... My supervisor said that two of them were needed all of a sudden, and...
Wait right here. I'm going to confirm this right away.
This is terrible !
Halt !
Halt, or we'll open fire !
Hilda !
H - Hilda !
Get a hold of yourself, Hilda !
Hilda !!
We will be landing in the Zudisia International Aerodrome shortly.
My, there's certainly a lot of people out there ! What do you suppose all the hullabaloo is for ?
They're not here to greet our ugly mugs, are they ?
In another hour or so, a charter plane from Tylon carrying President Dragu should be arriving.
Oh, is that so ?
If anything's going to happen, it's probably going to be an assassination, right ?
You said it -- an assassination ! That's the only thing that could happen.
So, which one's being targeted ?
Is it President Dragu ? Or could it be President Pyrenen ?
If I knew that, I wouldn't be as troubled as I am now.
For one thing, we aren't too clear just who or what our adversary is.
The special charter plane from Tylon will be arriving momentarily.
Now then, shall we go and witness this historical event for ourselves ?
Well, the President has at long last arrived.
Greetings, President Dragu.
You do me great honour, President Pyrenen.
Well then, let's go and accompany them.
At last, all the players have assembled.
Now then, it looks like the time has come for you to show me what you're all capable of.
Just sit back and observe, sir.
But, don't forget about that promise you made.
Of course, once all of you have succeeded in your part of the deal,
I shall officially adopt the measures you so desire.
We will put a stop to them for sure here at point A.
So far, everything appears to be going smoothly.
Good Heavens ! The leading vehicle struck a land mine !
The only thing we want is President Pyrenen's life !
Mister President, prepare yourself !
W - Who are you ?
Let's just say that we're an organization that would be terribly inconvenienced...
...if Zudisia and Tylon were to go through with the peace talks.
Goodbye, President Pyrenen.
Those blokes...
...they're cyborgs !
007, take care of President Pyrenen !
Leave it to me, old chap !
Now's your chance ! Hurry up and start the motor !
Drat !
Don't move !
I'll kill you for meddling in our affairs !
You accursed anomaly !
Retreat ! Retreat, I say !
There's no doubt about it, those blokes are cyborgs !
Yeah...
Come, we must hurry !

So, this is the Peace Palace, eh ?
What ?!
We had absolutely no idea that they had cyborgs escorting them, so our efforts ended in failure.
I don't want to listen to any of your excuses !
How do you intend to settle this matter now ?!
Sir, we deeply apologize for what had happened,
We shall definitely get him in our next course of action.
Very well. I'll give you just one more chance !
Y - Yes, sir...
Tell me about this next course of action.
They've certainly chosen quite a remarkable place, this Peace Palace.
It's designed so that no matter where an assailant attacks, you'll now precisely where he is.
But since our assailants are a group of cyborgs, we can't allow ourselves to be caught off guard.
Now there's a chap I've seen quite often on the telly.
He's a rather dignified bloke, isn't he ?
Well of course he is. He's the top ranking commanding officer in Zudisia's military.
Top ranking military officer ?! That's right ! Gregor is his name, isn't it ?
That man has been speaking out to continue on with the war until the very end...
...and apparently, he's opposed to President Pyrenen.
Well, all military officials are that way --
Once a war comes to an end, their importance to the government diminishes considerably.
You don't suspect him of everything, do you ?
That chap ?
Don't jump to conclusions there.
Do you think that a man of his stature, an officer of the highest rank, would do anything so absurd ?
Besides, he's right in the centre of the mass media's attention.
He'd be digging himself in his own grave, now wouldn't he ?
But come to think of it, there is a possibility;
he might have enlisted some assassins to pose as members of the secret service.
That I can imagine.
But since we're masquerading as journalists...
...there's no possible way we can get that close to him.
I just had a jolly good idea !
A good idea ?
It's the cat !
The cat -- the Persian cat !
Eh ?
So that's it !
Your excellency, in preparation of the signing ceremony tomorrow morning,
...everyone will be gathered at the main assembly hall.
Oh, is that so ? I understand.
I know you'll be lonesome,
but while I'm gone for a brief moment, you behave yourself, okay ?
Now's my chance !
004, take care of that cat for me.
Oh, how busy must we be tonight ?
See that ? That's you !
Cheerio, chaps !
Oh, Angel ?
W - Where has my sweet little Angel gone ?
Angel ? Oh, Angel ?
Oh, Angel !
I was so worried about you ! There, there...!
Yuck !
Thus, the signing ceremony would commence the following morning.
It looked as though nothing was going to disrupt it, however...
It's a tranquilizer !
A cyborg...!
D - Damn !
H - How could I have let them shoot me with a tranquilizer...?
Is this him ?
Is he that magnificent cyborg you told me about ?
Yes, I'm quite surprised myself.
I - It's Chief Marshal Gregor...!
Shall we deal with him accordingly ?
To deal with him would be pointless.
Once I take control over this country, he might actually be quite useful to us.
However, that's assuming that our plans for tomorrow morning prove to be successful.
Rest assured.
It will not fail.
So that's your scheme, eh Gregor? You conniving vermin !
I'd better inform 004 about this right away...!
And so, the antiwar treaty signing ceremony has begun.
007, you really are a fine actor there.
Super ! The tranquilizers are beginning to wear off.
But... Damn !
Come on ! Press against my protruding naval...!
...so I'll be able to transform into something !
That's it !
Right-oh...!
There !
All right, here it comes !
I'm counting on you !
Yow ! I felt that !
This ought to do the trick.
Now then, President Pyrenen, please accept my pet as a token of our friendship.
Thank you.
Mister President, watch out !
007 ?!
President Dragu, you conspired this, didn't you ?!
I - I've done nothing of the sort !
You murdered him in cold blood !
You probably never even wanted peace in the first place !
Y - You're wrong ! There must be some mistake !
President Dragu ! We the people of Zudisia...
...will never forget this atrocious act which has transpired here today !
He's right ! This means war !
N - No ! You're wrong...!
War !
This is war !
This has to be some sort of conspiracy !
War !
P - Please, cease this madness !
Die !
Stop, I say !
Huh ? You're...!
You may have deceived everyone, but I know what your true colours really are !
Everyone, the real murderer is none other than Gregor himself !
007, I too have solved a piece of the puzzle.
Take a look at this; this cat is a cyborg !
You might as well just give yourself up, Gregor.
D - Damn...!
Hm ? There you are !
Stop !
Finish them off !
Yes sir !
And so, the heads of both nations signed the antiwar treaty...
...promising everlasting peace.
Without a doubt, I'm sure President Pyrenen is wishing that both countries...
...would forever uphold the antiwar pact up there in heaven.
Peace is such a troublesome process;
great sacrifices must be made in order to obtain it.
Thanks to their intervention, peace between the two countries was upheld.
But, in the eyes of those who do not hope for peace...
they instead prefer to seek out ways of suppressing it.

Out from the bewitching night time ocean scenery...
...a young boy comes riding on top of a dolphin.
The boy is captured and is sent to a national marine research institute.
There, while 009 and 003 come in contact with the boy,
he tells them of a rather unusual story :
Beneath the ocean depths, aquatic humanoids flourish in the ancient civilisation of Atlantis.

The Boy Who Came Riding on a Dolphin
Script Writer Yoshikawa Soushi
Director Takizawa Toshifumi
What did you say ?! An aquatic humanoid ?!
I can't believe it, that humans are living underwater !
I too had the exact same sentiments.
The location is Greece. Here, some coastal fishermen captured one.
Professor Gilmore, if this is true, then this would be the greatest discovery of the century !
Are there any evidence of these "aquatic humanoids" ?
009, that is what I'd like for you to find out over there.
I'm going as well.
Professor, is the Dolphin still unavailable at this time ?
Well, since there's a search going on for the disappearance of that tanker...
...and that nuclear powered submarine,
we can't help but wait until those have been retrieved.
Very well. We'll depart at once !
Without a moments hesitation, 009 and 003 flew off towards Greece.
I had received a phone call from Professor Gilmore just a short while ago.
Since this is a rather earth shattering discovery,
I would like the two of you to cooperate with us as much as you possibly can.
It really is true !
He's only a child.
But he doesn't appear to be any different from any ordinary human being, though.
When we first found him, everyone else thought so as well.
But after being out of water for about an hour, he developed complications in breathing.
So in other words, his pulmonary physiology is different from ours.
We would like to perform an autopsy and examine him as soon as we can.
An autopsy ?!
But this child is a genuine human being isn't he ?
Certainly not. He's a marine life form sent to us as a laboratory specimen.
Stop it...!
Take me back to the ocean !
He can talk !
This child...?
This water tank is equipped with a hydroacoustic microphone...
...to study the speech patterns exhibited by dolphins,
but I thought I'd never hear anything from him.
Hello, little boy. If you have a name, could you please tell us what it is ?
Messala.
"Messala ?"
W - Wait just a moment, please !
This may sound a bit longwinded, but he is the only specimen we have.
I am well aware of that.
He is after all, an extremely important research subject.
If you release him back into the ocean, you'll create an international incident.
All we want to do is let this poor child see the ocean.
Well in that case, I hope you'll forgive me for having to do this to you.
What's the meaning of all this ?!
You have thirty minutes, okay ?
The amount of time he has left to survive out in the air is only another thirty minutes.
Professor !
We don't have much time left. Let's go.
Is that it ?
It looks as though Messala hasn't mentioned anything to anyone yet.
Nevertheless, he's broken the laws of the ocean.
It's so warm. This is the first time I've ever seen the sun.
I see. You probably couldn't see it at all down there underwater.
Yes. Every night, I'd ride on top of a dolphin and come to this spot right here.
I'd look at the moon and the clouds, and I'd feel the wind breeze by.
Messala, are you...?
I really like being on land.
I thought we would return you back into the ocean as soon as we could,
but you look like you really enjoy being out here.
You're not all alone, are you ?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to probe into your privacy or anything...
I was only thinking that if you have a father or a mother, they'd be awfully worried about you now.
Well, I do have my kinsfolk.
Kinsfolk ?
At the bottom of the sea, the inhabitants of the water have palaces and vehicles as well.
Where is he ?
Where did you put the boy ?
He's outside, at the edge of the cliffs !
Who the devil are you people ?!
Answer me !
Hurry up and hand over the child !
Stop ! These people aren't bad people at all !
Blast !
Forget it ! We're taking you with us as well !
After receiving a distress signal, the Dolphin 2 rushed over to the scene of events without delay.
We heard practically everything from Professor Gilmore, but 009...
So there really are a bunch of fish-men down there, huh ?
There's no mistake about that.
Anyway, I'm worried about 003. Let's speed up the investigations.
But the ocean is enormous !
We've also failed in our investigations of trying to find those missing ships.
It's near Thera Island.
Recent theories speculate that the ancient civilisation of Atlantis is located around here.
Atlantis ?
You don't mean...?
I'm quite certain that's where the aquatic humanoids are from.
Right now, even if we have just a slight possibility, we should comb the area.
All right. Let's check it out.
I see that you've regained your senses.
There's no need for you to worry...
...there's air circulating through this place and I'm not once of those aquatic human beings.
You're...?
George Lawson.
Lawson ?!
So you know about me, eh ?
I was once a world renowned expert in oceanic archaeology.
That was until a few years ago, when I disappeared off the face of the earth !
So all this time, you were here all along...?
That is correct.
Never again shall I gaze upon the radiance of the sun...
Not that I'd ever want to anymore....
A similar fate awaits you now that you know all about my secret.
I beg your pardon ?!
Depth : 208 D.
We're almost at Thera Island.
Wait a second...!
There's something out there !
If we come any closer to it, we'll be in danger.
I'll go and take care of it.
Those are...
...the missing ships !
And they're all gathered here of all places !
Take a good look into the distance.
So the ancient civilisation of Atlantis really did exist !
Astonishing, isn't it ?
I happened to have stumbled across these ruins purely by chance ten years ago.
The legends of Atlantis sinking into the ocean really are true !
In ancient times, humanity was separated into a land-dwelling race and a sea-dwelling race.
After being hit by a series of diastrophic cataclysms, the sea-dwelling race perished.
However, the ancient civilisation of Atlantis did not sink;
it was originally built underwater by the sea-dwelling race in the first place.
When I first came in contact with the sea-dwellers,
they were just a small backwards clan, living very simple lives.
I then enlisted the aid of a very influential collaborator and constructed this tower.
With his help, I was able to bring about the revival of the aquatic humanoids !
That boy Messala was born in that very tower.
Messala ? What have you done with him ?
We intend to execute him.
What ?! What has that child done to deserve that ?!
He brought the attention of our existence to the surface world.
All terrestrial human beings are our enemies,
and he was the one who disobeyed the laws of the ocean realm !
But why ?
Why are the terrestrial humans your enemies ?
Terrestrial humans pollute the ocean !
They are the ones robbing the earth of it's precious nature !
That's horrible...!
Is that the only reason why ?
"Is that the only reason why ?" you say ?!
Terrestrial humans send pollutants into the atmosphere,
...destroy plant life,
...and nonchalantly encroach upon the habitats of all living creatures, even here underwater !
They're the ones who intend to ultimately lay waste to the entire world !
With issues as serious as these, you dare ask me, "Is that the only reason why ?!!"
The aquatic humans have granted me full authority over them...
...in order to rise up and overthrow the surface world !
Are you serious about all this ?
Don't underestimate us.
I am fully aware that your companions are on their way over right this very moment !
Oh me, oh my !
We're overwhelmed, guys.
Gentlemen, if you value this woman's life,
I suggest you don't offer us any resistance whatsoever.

Look at that, they're wearing fish bowls over their heads.
Must be a pain in the ass for 'em.
It looks as though they don't know we're cyborgs.
Acceleration device !
The time to do battle has arrived.
But before we start, let the execution begin.
Messala !
Listen closely, everyone.
That boy has disobeyed the laws of the underwater realm.
Any aquatic human who yearns for the surface world...
...shall be sealed up inside an air capsule like Messala you see here.
How can all of you be so insensitive ?!
Are all of you just going to stand by and watch that young child die before your very eyes ?!
Anyone who yearns for the surface world shall be sealed up inside an air capsule !
Base central, the intruders...
...have all been shot to death.
It looks like everything's finished here.
You're absolutely right.
Go and investigate the lower levels of this complex.
There appears to be some sort of a manufacturing plant down there.
Don't move !
What's inside here ?
We don't know, none of us have ever seen what's inside.
Look here, if you're lying to us, I'm going to break this fish bowl over your head !
Honest ! Nobody's allowed inside; it's the law of the underwater realm !
006, would you do the honours ?
Certainly ! Just leave everything to me !
Look ! It's the crew members of the missing tankers and the missing submarine !
This is all making sense now !
This must be where they've made those aquatic humanoids !
Somebody...! Somebody save Messala !
Please, hurry !
We're members of the aquatic human race.
We must uphold the laws of the underwater realm.
That's all right.
I saw the sun, and that's all I'm happy about.
T - The sun ?!
W - What was it like ?
It was round, and warm, and it was very, very bright !
It's just like what we were told about it !
So the sun really does exist !
And there were these white clouds, and a gentle breeze that blew calmly across the landscape.
The surface world is a really warm and sunny place.
The sun exists on the surface world, you say ?
What were the clouds like ?
Come to think of it, I have a feeling that I too have seen the sun a long, long time ago.
Quiet !
How dare you talk about the sun like this !
Now go ! Attack the surface world at once !
Now's my chance !
What are you doing ?!
Let go of me !
Damn !
I know what's going on !
All of you, you're really terrestrial human beings !
All your past memories have been wiped out !
N - Nonsense !
Yet, if you retain some imperishable recollections of the sun, the clouds, or even the wind, then...
But, the only environment we can live in is underwater.
This we're quite sure about.
That's right, all of you are aquatic humans, not terrestrial ones !
So don't let this woman deceive you !
You're the one who's deceiving them !
009 !
Stop this charade at once !
In the underground factory below, you've been artificially manufacturing aquatic humanoids !
W - What ?!
As you have all heard, you were all originally terrestrial human beings !
So come, let's return back to our birthplace !
Where the radiant sun shines brightly, where the white clouds drift peacefully...
...where the flowers are in full bloom everywhere, let's return to the surface, our rightful birthplace !
The surface world is our birthplace !
The sun, it's ours !
The surface ! Everyone, let's return back to the surface !
W - Wait ! I forbid you to leave !
This way ! Get on board, hurry !
Come, come ! Hurry up !
Messala !
Hurry ! We must hurry, or Messala will die !
I won't allow any of them to return to land !
Aiyaa ! We've been hit !
007, take care of Messala !
Right-oh, old chap !
009, now ! Flee !
Such insolence !
Impertinent wretch !
Good gracious !
Blimey ! Now that's a powerful blast !
Messala...!
Françoise, where am I ?
Messala, you're on land, inside our laboratory.
You're right...! I'm breathing air !
Messala, you don't have to go back into the ocean anymore.
You've underwent extensive surgery so your body is back to the way it's supposed to be.
They're artificial lungs, so you're not quite the way you're supposed to be.
What about the others ?
Naturally, every one of those who survived will be undergoing surgery as well.
I want to go and see the outdoors.
Well, maybe for a short while...
...but it's raining outside.
Rain !
This is the first time I've ever seen it !
Unfortunately for you, it's about to stop soon.
Look, the sun is coming out !
What's that ?
That was the first time Messala had ever laid eyes upon a rainbow.
