Ahem.
Oh? It's Pai-Pai He's been on a lot Emergency? What's up? He's pacing lol
There is something I must say in this emergency broadcast today.
The Kuu-samas that are spreading around the world right now...
Calm down. Damn it! What? What? Kuu-sama? Kuu, kuu What? Attack?? You said they were safe! What are you talking about, Panda?
we have found out that they are attacking people.
Well, I mean... We thought they were safe...
Hey, Pai-Pai! There's trouble!
What? Don't talk to me while I'm on the Gatchannel!
This isn't the time for that!
Turn it to the Millione Show right now.

Numerous Reports of Disturbances
Tonight, in regards to the mysterious disappearances happening across the country,
we have received a brand-new interview.
Numerous Reports of Disturbances Taken Care of by Kuu-sama's Iron Hammer?
Please take a look.
Yes, I saw it.
Kuu-sama stretched out its tongue and swallowed them up in one gulp.
The person who was swallowed was well-known around here...
But not in a good way.
They would come home late at night blasting loud music.
See? In that car.
We cautioned them many times, but they wouldn't stop.
We were all troubled because we couldn't sleep.
They were so loud.
News Flash: Is Kuu-sama the Iron Hammer of Justice? The Shocking Footage Our Cameras Picked Up!
Some guy totally groped me, and we caught him.
The people around us helped, too.
And when we tried to take him over to the station attendant...
Kuu-sama suddenly...
Look, I've got video.
News Flash: Is Kuu-sama the Iron Hammer of Justice? The Shocking Footage Our Cameras Picked Up!
How awful. It's a groper!
They should be ashamed.
So shameful.
Everyone hates them.
What is this?
Gelu-lu-lu-lu.
Kuu-sama's a carnivore lolol Gropers suck Gropers are the worst! Though isn't this footage a bit much?
Isn't this risky? What are you going to do? Come on, Leader. Say something Pai-Pai's face is all tense lol Hey! Panda! Is he thinking?
We, the Gatchaman, promise to come up with countermeasures immediately!
Oh. There it is! Gatcha's on the move? Gatcha's moving out!
First, we will detain Gelsadra, who we believe is connected
Talking so fast lolol Panda's worked up lolol Sadra? Detain? Talking way too fast! Shut up, Panda!
to Kuu-sama, and question him.
In the meantime, you guys need to stay away from Kuu-sama as much as possible!
Why Gel-chan? Why are you detaining Gel-chan? Panda! Hey You can't detain the Prime Minister lolol Huh?! It finished
Got it? That is all.
One Moment, Please
That's a bit messy, Pai-Pai.
We're gonna capture Gel-chan?
There's no doubt that there's a link between the Kuu-samas and Gelsadra.
Sounds like the obvious countermeasures to me.
Right.
But the Kuu-samas are Kuu-samas, and not Gel-chan.
What? What does that mean?
What are you talking about?
Then what are the Kuu-samas?
The Kuu-samas... are the atmosphere!
Today's Meeting Will Be At
What's the matter, Tsubasa-chan?
You've been really quiet.
Please answer me honestly, Gel-chan.
Are the Kuu-samas really swallowing people up?
Yep. Sounds like it.
Why would they...
It's in order to make everyone become one.
If the people who can't become one disappear,
it'll help everyone else become one.
Isn't that wonderful?
Please make them stop.
Huh?
It's wrong to swallow people up.
Please make them stop immediately!
But why?
Please...
Why are you crying?
You said it yourself, Tsubasa-chan,
that you wanted everyone to become one.
So why aren't you happy?
No! This is wrong!
Just saying that won't help me understand.
Becoming one like this is meaningless.
Please, Gel-chan! Stop the Kuu-samas!
I can't.
I'm not actually controlling the Kuu-samas.
Not to mention, we'll all become one soon.
That's not what it means to become one!
I don't understand what you're saying, Tsubasa-chan.
I thought that our vision was the same this whole time, Gel-chan.
But...
Apparently, it was different.
I don't understand, Tsubasa-chan.
We're so close to becoming one.
Did you see Gatchannel?
Yeah, totally!
Did you see Gatchannel?
What's with that panda?
There's no way Kuu-sama's dangerous.
But that video...
Isn't it fake? You can totally shop that in editing.
Who do the Gatchaman think they are?
There have only been good things since Prime Minister Sadra.
Definitely against detainment!
Let's all protect Gel-chan!
But isn't Kuu-sama a bit scary?
Doesn't it feel nice to become one?
Yeah... It feels really nice.
All the Gatchaman should hurry up and come over to this side.
Rui...
Our Hearts As One! Create Our World Together!
Gelsadra. You'll be coming with me.
What?
Don't you dare touch Prime Minister Sadra!
Go home, Gatchaman!
What are you talking about?
Didn't you see the Gatchannel?
I told you that the Kuu-samas are dangerous...
Go home! Go home!
There's no way the Kuu-samas can be so dangerous when they feel so good!
Let's become one.
It's not scary when we're all together.
Get away from the Kuu-samas! They swallow up humans!
The ones who got swallowed up deserved it!
You guys!
Amnesia Effect!
We did it!
We all have to stick together.
Thank you, everyone!
Let's all work even harder to become one.
Gelu-lu-lu-lu-lu.
This is sudden, but we've got some astonishing live footage.
I can't believe they actually tried to detain the prime minister!
We immediately took a poll on the Gatchaman's recent actions.
Here are the results.
The Gatchaman's Actions
Went Too Far?
Appropriate?
I'm Not Sure
Wh-What do you mean?
There are no excuses.
I won't be leaving my child with you any longer.
Who knows what people will say if they find out
we're affiliated with the Gatchaman?
Let's go.
But Pai-Pai's not a bad boy!
W-Wait!
Don't do things none of us asked for.
You really think it's okay to detain the prime minister?
Erina-chan Incoming Call
Hello?
Is what you wanted to talk about the camp we were all going to attend?
If that's the case...
Yeah, about that... We actually had to cancel it.
Apparently, it just didn't work with everyone's schedules.
Sorry.
Oh, I was just going to say that I can't go...
We totally can't invite Sugane-kun right now.
I know, right?
Did you actually want to invite Sugane-kun, Erina?
N-No.
I feel the same as all of you guys.
I mean it, Kuu-sama.
Right?
We're all one.
It's like we're unwanted now.
The reality's hitting me way too hard!
Curses! You foolish Earthlings!
Hajime, how did you figure out the Kuu-samas' identity?
It was all thanks to Katze-san's riddle.
It was all thanks to me? Then release me, plz.
Nope, can't do that.
Who do you think you are, bit—
Was it, "What's everyone's favorite thing that goes in easy,
but is difficult to get out?"
And that's the atmosphere?
Yep!
But it's not the one that Gel-chan created,
rather, what everyone else created.
So the Kuu-samas are the atmosphere.
That actually explains a lot.
So they're reading into the atmosphere of the people around them,
and saying what they want to hear.
Well, of course, they'll think they've become friends, then,
and it'd feel really nice.
W-Wait a sec.
So the reason the Kuu-samas are swallowing up people
is because that's what people want?
The Kuu-samas are all saying the same thing over and over.
They just want to become one.
If they get rid of people who ruin
or can't read the atmosphere, they can all become one.
That fits their logic.
So that's why the people who were iffy around them
were disappearing one after another.
Now that we know that, the more we can't leave the Kuu-samas alone!
The fact that they're attacking people for the sake
of the atmosphere is deplorable!
Is the atmosphere such a bad thing?
I had just been going with the flow for a while now.
Well, I mean, I just realized it now.
People were treating me really great just because I was a Gatchaman.
All these girls started approaching me,
and I even went to karaoke, which I hate.
Eating barbecue that definitely wasn't very good...
And yet, that was all a lot of fun.
Isn't it amazing to be able to have fun without thinking?
It should be fine to find happiness just going along with the flow of things.
Yeah...
When you're surrounded by the atmosphere, you feel warm and relaxed.
But what happens when you go outside of it?
Hey, stop. This is going too far.
The Gatchaman are our enemies!
You're okay with just leaving them alone?
Yeah, but you don't have to go this far.
Right?
Raiding their place is a bit...
...going overboard.
You cowards!
Why are you getting all heated?
Let's all become one.
What the?
Jou-san.
It's just as you said, Sugane.
There are a lot of people who'd be happier just
going along with the flow.
But I don't like it.
Where ya goin'?
I'm responsible for making the world like it is now
when I made Gelsadra the prime minister.
So I'm going to go settle this.
Rui-kun! Mornin'!
Heyo!
Why won't you come out? I wanna talk to you.
Rui-kun!
Hello, Ichinose Hajime-san.
Rui is currently in a state where he can't talk because of the Kuu-samas.
I see. Well, that's no good.
Ichinose Hajime-san. I believe in Rui.
Rui is not someone who gives up so easily.
He will get up once more.
Oh, hey. It's Hajime-chan.
Let's become one.
Yeah, I'd rather not.
Amnesia Effect!
Huh?
X-san. I think Rui-kun just needs a motive.
Motive?
Understood.
I shall look over the past database, and use it as reference.
That's not it. Think!
Think?
Because you're Rui-kun's friend, X-san!
That's...
Today's Meeting Will Be At
Has Already Ended
Jou-san!
Gelsadra...
I'll defeat you!
No...
But why...
Do we have to fight?
You shouldn't have come to this country.
To this country where
everyone is so easily swayed!
I see.
But I can't allow myself to be defeated.
Because...
I haven't made everyone become one yet!
So my child's work is being displayed at that exhibit.
Would you all like to come with me to see it this Sunday?
Yes, let's go.
You'll come, too, right, Sasaki-san?
I'm sorry. I have plans to go out with my family that day.
Don't be like that.
We're all friends, aren't we?
Th-Then I guess I'll go.
Right?
It might feel nice when you're surrounded by the atmosphere.
But...
Once people go too far trying to become one,
they silently put pressure on those who try to leave that atmosphere.
If that happens, people can't think or move on their own.
People are happier when they're all one.
Why don't you understand, Jou-san?
Even if people are momentarily happy,
society will fail to grow!

What do you want to do?
Hey, want to go to karaoke?
Yeah, totally!
Let's become one.
It's a lot more fun singing with everyone else.
I guess... I'll go, too.
Right?
Phoenix Dive!
Innocent Storm!
Innocent...
...Tornado.
Are you okay?
You're not alone.
No...
Stay back!
Don't be like that.
Let's become one.
No!
You're gonna catch a cold.
I...
I don't know anymore.
I just wanted to make a peaceful world where no one gets hurt.
You probably just kept running.
Eh?
That's just how you are, Tsubasa-chan,
but right now might be a good time to stop.
But what should I do once I stop?
Hmm... Well, I think you should ask Yuru-jii.
Yuru-jii...
All right. I'll go home to Nagaoka.
Thank you for everything, Senpai.
I'll be waiting for you.
You're probably the only one who can save Gel-chan.
Eh?
I wonder what heroes are. Heroes are, heroes are.
I wonder what heroes are. Heroes are...
I guess it can't be helped if we can't become one.
Wind Shield!
Sugane! Why did you come?
I told you I'd settle things with him alone.
I took a moment to think...
And then, I just felt
that I needed to go to you, Jou-san.
Sugane!
Maybe I couldn't read the atmosphere...
You idiot...
Tsubasa-chan...
Well, this is a surprise.
I heard I had a visitor, but...
From X to Rizumu-san:
Suzuki Rizumu, would you consider talking to Rui for a moment?
Why me?
I thought of this as Rui's friend...
About what he needed most right now...
And you are probably the last person
Rui would want to be seen with in his current state.
Well, you've become quite the fool.
Hey, it's Suzuki Rizumu.
How does it feel to become an ape?
It feels really nice.
I wonder why I tried so hard to do things on my own.
It's such a wonderful thing to become one with others.
I see. Congratulations.
Apparently, Ninomiya Rui's update ends here.
You've become a boring person.
Utsutsu's gone to Sugane-kun's place.
Though I'm sure he won't be able to move immediately.
But he should be okay.
Curse that Gelsadra! We have to crush him!
I wonder if we can.
Despite how he looks, Gel-chan's a tough opponent.
Is that JJ-sama?!
When the scarlet conductor changes his melody, the people will lose their own colors, and bear their fangs in err at the colorless wind.
When the scarlet conductor changes his melody,
the people will lose their own colors,
and bear their fangs in err at the colorless wind.
I don't understand!
JJ-sama! Please make it simpler!
This is the same as usual.

Mana-chan, let's play with the ball.
Everyone's doing it.
No. I wanna draw.
Let's all play together.
Come on. Everyone's waiting.
Papa?
We're going home, Mana.
Mana.
Why do we have to hide?
Shh. Let's go.
Man, that's what he gets for calling Gatchaman heroes.
What an idiot. He should read the atmosphere.
Yoshida-kun... No...
That was so annoying.
Let's become one.
R-Right... H-He totally deserved what he got.
Liar!
Mana!
They probably didn't think that one of the security guards
was a member of VAPE.
But, Leader, why now?
I changed my mind.
I thought I should change the atmosphere.
I got it!
What? Do you understand the prophecy? Tell me!
We'll talk later! We have to hurry!
Hurry? Where?
We have to go protect Gel-chan!
