Congratulations, Gel-chan!
Elected
I mean, Prime Minister Sadra!
Our quasi-regular is now a prime minister!
Well, what a feat! How wonderful!
Grandpa, they say he's an alien.
Let's take a look at how the city's doing after Prime Minister Sadra's election!
Well, why not?
This is the result of our direct vote.
I can just relate to him somehow, you know?
Even though he's an alien.
How strange.
Huh?
So Prime Minister Gelu-lu is born.
Go, Bird!
Man, I still can't do it!
Tsubasa-chan, weren't you able to transform during the VAPE thing earlier?
That time, I saw Rui-senpai being hurt,
and I just got so mad.
All the blood just rushed to my head.
I'd transformed before I knew it...
Then how do you feel now?
Huh?
Right now?
Well, I guess I feel normal.
Tsubasa-chan's not a Gatchaman yet.
You're still Tsubasa-chan!
Huh?
I'm me?
Isn't this diagram too bloated?
Huh?
Well, um...
About the defense budget,
why does it have to be so high?
Well, if I remember correctly, it's because...
I'll eradicate conflict from Japan!
And I'd like to make a nation where people are united and full of smiles!
Are we going to solve everything with military force?!
Akiyama-san, why do we need to use military force?
Huh?
Oh, no.
I don't think military force is good, so... well...
Right!
Military force is never an option!
That's why I'm making my slogan
"Our Hearts as One! Let's Create Our World Together!"
I'm going to move as speedily as I can through political reform.
Alien!
Don't talk bullshit!
Yoshikawa-san, I am an alien, so you're right about that!
But I never talk bullshit!
Huh?
U-Um, I suppose.
So, to get right to the point...
Hey! Try to transform!
Kishida-san!
What do you think?
Huh?
Well... W-Well done.
Thank you!
So, about this year's budget,
I'll remake it based on my new slogan!
Y-Your face is red!
Thank you for your opinion, Kashima-san!
Yes, my skin's been red since the day I was born!
Is something wrong with that?
Okay, who's the next heckler?
Prime Minister Sadra!
How do you intend to resolve the CROWDS problem?
I intend to reach a resolution everyone can agree on.
I'll let you all know as soon as preparations are made.
There are rumors that you are in a romantic relationship
with Misudachi Tsubasa-chan, a Gatchaman.
A romantic relationship?
So... Are you two in love?
I like Tsubasa-chan a lot.
She's a really great person!
So, given how you're manly and all,
is your other manifesto also respectable?
Umm... What did you want to talk about?
Ah, right.
Everything is so new to you—
perhaps you're having a difficult time.
I have experience and connections.
I'll help you in any way I can.
Okay. Thank you.
They're all over the place?
Yes.
What the Diet members say is very different from what they think.
I feel very uncomfortable.
They're reading the mood.
Reading the mood?
Yeah, they sense stupid things like the fact that you're new to politics
or that you're popular and have a lot of push in the moment,
so then they badger you or try to get on your good side.
I see.
Listen, Gel-kun.
Politicians aren't the ones making this country what it is.
Everyone is.
Everyone?
Everyone!
I want to know more about what everyone's thinking!
Gel-chan, I'll help, too!
Thank you.
Tsubasa-chan, the air's nice and fresh here.
Yep.
I kinda reminds me of Nagaoka.
Takamatsu.
Good morning, everyone.
Hi, everyone!
There's lot of space around me!
My face is red, and my hair is blue,
but I am a very decent alien!
I won't bite. Ever.
Let's work together to make this as painless as possible!
Prime Minister Sadra, you're commuting by train?
Yes!
Oh, you can call me Gel-chan.
Oh, if it isn't the Prime Minister!
What? Hey, alien!
What's big brass like you doin' here, eh?!
Oh, even I want to drink until I pass out sometimes.
Also, my face is red,
but I'm still sober.
He's funny!
I like him.
Hey, Gelra!
There are too many politicians!
Hey, what's the salary for politicians?
They earn about twenty million on average.
Also, the Prime Minister earns about forty million.
Wow!
You tax thief!
It's too high, right?
Please tell me what you think.
Oh, excuse me!
Please get this man another round of draft beer,
and four ice creams on top of that.
Oh, it'd be our pleasure!
Okay, everyone smile!
I'm sad we're not all united.
Now we are.
You're right!
We're united!
Okay, here we go, everyone!
Gelu-lu!
You're not going home?
Isn't your family worried about you?
I don't have anyone at home at night.
I see.
Okay!
Let's play together!
Oh, wow!
Wow!
That's right!
We are really lacking childcare facilities like kindergarten and preschool.
In some areas, they don't even have the budget.
I see.
Leader, let's protect the children's future together!
O-Okay!
You're doing good, Sadra.
I'm gloomy.
What do you think?
This is the best view on this island.
Are you okay?!
He's been like this recently.
Has he been to the hospital?
There are no doctors on this island.
We only get one doctor who comes here once a month from the mainland.
Prime Minister Sadra!
You're making trips like this every day,
but for what purpose?
Hey, watch it!
Are you okay?
Hey!
Apologize to him!
Sorry.
It's all right.
It's good that you're really invested in your job.
I'm really sorry.
It's all good.
Oh!
Since we're all here, let's have a professional photographer take a group photo!
Huh?
Sure.
Okay, everyone. Please get together!
Goodbye!
Tsubasa-chan, you're the kind of person who can make other people smile.
Huh?
Where's this coming from, Gel-chan?
Tsubasa-chan, I'd like to have your support moving forward.
Let's make everyone's hearts into one.
Okay!
Okay, everyone.
Breathe in deep! Deep!
Oh, Sugane-kun's here!
Huh?
What's that?
What?!
You don't know?!
It's called the Gel sign.
See?
Oh, it's popular?
I see.
So you're back because of work with Gel-chan.
That's tough.
You must be busy, but do take care of yourself.
Got it!
Okay!
I just don't want to see anyone feel sad anymore.
That's why I want to protect peace for everyone with Gel-chan.
What's peace?
What?
What's peace to you?
Well...
I guess it'd be everyone being united... and happy.
What does it mean to be united?
Are you and I united?
Of course.
You and I, our souls are connected.
No.
I'm me.
Yuru-jii!
Don't say such sad things!
So if our souls are connected, we become united?
And there'd be peace?
Yeah!
If everyone can understand each other at that level and become one,
there will be no more conflict!
What if there are people who don't think that way?
Then I'll just try harder until they do!
You know nothing.
That's not true!
We're fighting every day out there in a world you don't understand!
Don't throw that word around like you know what it means to fight.
What do you know?
You're just staring at the shogi board every day!
I'm done.
Tsubasa, come back to Nagaoka.
What do you mean?
Yuru-jii, stop.
Tsubasa and Gel-chan are working hard every day.
Working hard is enough?
That pardons everything else?
Stop it. You're just arguing for the sake of argument.
Come home, Tsubasa.
No!
Then I won't teach you fireworks.
I don't care anymore!
Tsubasa-chan.
I'm gonna do this!
Just watch, Yuru-jii!
Tsubasa-chan?
Well, that made me feel a lot better.
Gel-chan, let's protect peace!
Okay!
What a surprise!
The new cabinet — is just Gel-chan!
Umm... Then what about the cabinet members?
I had all the politicians and officials resign
and work instead in jobs appropriate to their specializations.
Er, then what about the National Diet?
Right, that's being renovated so that the citizens can make good use of it.
News? Huh?
Then where will the Diet sessions be held?
At Tachikawa City's Flower Green Park!
So you'd have it by yourself, Prime Minister?
No, it'll be me and everyone else!
I'd like everyone to freely comment.
Wow!
This is a revolution, right?
That's pretty good.
Extra! Extra!
The Sadra Cabinet is Just One Member!!
Only one politician! Wow!
"Prime Minister Slashes Own Salary Down to Minimum Needed to Meet Living Costs."
Wow! What's this?!
Huh.
"Prime Minister to Disclose All Daily Expenditures on GALAX."
Holy cow!
"Open Diet Session to Be Broadcast Live from Park."
Maybe I'll make a comment.
"All Political Decisions to Be Made via Citizen Smart Phone Vote in Remote Direct Participation."
So that means we can all decide?
That's very open of him.
This is a huge revolution that'll go down in Japan's history!
But it's almost too revolutionary.
I hope he can handle doing everything by himself.
But there was a lot of money going toward paying
Diet members and to manage Diet proceedings.
If this tax money can be effectively repurposed, it'll be huge!
And think about all the elections.
I think each election costs 60 billion yen.
Hmm?
What?!

Great.
It's good.

You can train for a lot more job types now at the vocational training center! lolol
Wow!
Let's all aim for 0 percent unemployment!
It's not "pretty"?
Becoming united isn't?
Yeah. It's just not sparkly.
Really?
I don't think so.
Oh, I have a question!
Gel-chan, you said before that the bubbles were what people were thinking.
Yes.
What's yours look like?
Mine?
I've never seen yours.
I hope it's the same color as everyone else.
"I hope it's the same color as everyone else"?
He's annoying! Super annoying!
Oh, Katze-san, you're all fired up today like usual.
Of course!
Hajime-san, you've trapped Berg-Katze inside of you, right?
Huh? Yep!
Um, you're okay, right?
Hmm?
Gel-chan,
we're about to start!
Good morning!
This is footage taken this morning.
Our Hearts as One! Our World for Us to Create Together!
Maybe it's Gel-chan's influence,
but everyone's talking to each other and enjoying their commute.
Hmm? What?
We were in the middle of a segment,
but it appears the Gel-Gel Live Diet Session
is finally making progress
on the CROWDS problem!
Now that you're all familiar with the smart phone vote system,
I'd like all citizens to decide
whether CROWDS use should become prohibited!
Please tell me your answer!
Sugane-kun!
Something's on Gatchannel!
Where's this? Here's the Gay-chan! Rui's condo right? Seriously? Nice digs lolol
Prohibiting CROWDS would also mean
rejecting our own species' evolution.
If we can coexist with CROWDS,
it would mean the nurturing of our ability to trust in others
and our individual motivation to take action.
It'll signify a big step for humanity.
CROWDS symbolize potential.
Why would we choose to cut off our own future?
Do you believe CROWDS use should continue to be allowed? If you agree, click "Right!" If you disagree, click "No Way!"
Right! No Way!
CROWDS is so out now.
The city's in really good spirits lately.
Yeah.
Right!
Hey, Suzuki.
CROWDS prohibition has been decided by smart phone vote.
