Senpai!
Senpai, sorry for making you worry!
Tsubasa-chan!
Will you accompany me?
Of course!
Hundred Flowers Type 8!
Petits Ciseaux!
Creeping Cherry Blossoms!
Gatcha!
The Infinite Blade, Storm!
The Right Hand of Death!
What's our good-for-nothing prime minister doing right now, anyway?
He should show himself at a time like this.
I'm talking to you, Gelsadra!
Gelsadra! Unforgivable! Take Responsibility!
I don't want to disappear... I want to stay here forever.
Sadly, that's not for you to decide.
Let's leave the rest up to them.
Just how many of these things are there?!
I'm gloomy.
Why are you getting in the way, Gatchaman?
You guys seriously don't get it.
It's futile. This atmosphere won't be gone until Gelsadra dies.
Apes don't stop until they get bored.
How long is this going to go on, Senpai?
Hmm...
What do you think, Katze-san?
That's simple. You just have to stop this atmosphere.
Katze-san, how do you stop an atmosphere?
Well, once everyone's satisfied, it'll stop. Duh.
I see.
Tsubasa-chan, what do you think?
Does that mean we have to defeat Gel-chan?
That won't resolve anything, though.
Why's that?
Because it's not Gel-chan that's at fault. It's all of us.
Good point.
Here comes the goodie-goodie act.
How long are you going to say delusional things like that?
You don't understand Atmosphere-chan at all.
You and Gel-Gel got together and made it, too.
That's exactly why I want to do something about this atmosphere.
I want everyone to realize how scary it is.
Nope! Nope, nope.
This is the nope game. Everyone thinks they're right, so they won't back down.
You're all so naive. So naive!
You all just want to see other people's misfortunes
for eternity.
So your stupid festival continues because you all are Neanderthals.
Lololol!
Well, see you next week!
The next episode will be "Gel Covered in Blood."
Bye-bye!
I see...
Bird Out.
Senpai?
Tsubasa-chan...
There's something off about the way we're fighting.
Senpai, you can't mean...
It can't be helped.
Breaking news!
Huh? Breaking news?
Gelsadra is on the run!!
This is an emergency! We just received word that Gelsadra is on the run!
This is unbelievable!
Oh, there's the breaking news update.
Gelsadra is on the run.
Hey, it says Gelsadra's on the run.
But where would he even run to?
Breaking News: Gelsadra On The Run
What? He's the prime minister, and he's on the run?
Oh, that silly alien. How selfish.
For the time being, everyone in Tachikawa, please be careful.
He might try to take hostages while he's on the run!
Oh, no! Save me, Kuu-sama!
So scary! I wonder if he's going to run away in his space saucer.
There, there. I'll beat him to a pulp.
Prepare yourself, Grossadra!
His ship should be broken. It's doubtful.
Field Open.
Hajime-chan! Rui-kun!
Sugayama-san?
OD...
Oh, my... Nice to meet you...
DD-chan.
Th-This is too sudden!
Hajime-chan, what's going on?
We're going to do a smart phone poll.
Smart phone poll? Of what?
Sugayan. It's up to you.
Okay!
Everyone, this is sudden, but please get your smart phones ready.
Currently, Gelsadra is on the run.
In order to resolve this dangerous situation,
there is something I'd like to ask you.
And that's...
Okay! Here's the question...
You guys ready?
Would you like us Gatchaman to do something about Gelsadra?
I see! The Gatchaman are finally standing up for this country!
Hey, hurry with the preparations.
All right! We're counting on your votes!
Hey, what should we do?
Gelsadra's an alien, right?
I'm gonna go again!
Then, that means...
Right? Nope! Leave it to Gatchaman
X, I'm counting on you.
As you wish.
Leave it to Gatchaman
Right!
Nope!
And the results are in! So fast!
Got it. Then the Gatchaman will take responsibility and do something about it.
All right?
That's our Gatchaman! So reliable.
You think you're so slick.
Because I am.
So that's their move.
But this doesn't change the result of seeing blood in the end.
I'm gloomy...
Bite and...
What got into them all of a sudden?
I'm gloomy.
Gatcha! Gatcha! Gatcha! Gatcha!
Don't come any closer!
Man, the Gatchaman always save the day in the end!
Jou-san!
Thanks, Jou-san!
Jou-san, what was that?
The atmosphere changed again.
Go, go, Gatchaman!
Go, go, Gatcha! Go, go, Gatcha!
Gatcha!
Oh, Jou-san. Do that Phoenix Dive!
Phoenix Dive! Phoenix Dive!
You guys sure change your tune easily.
This is the only way to save everyone.
Got it?
All right, here we go!
Gatcha!
We're gonna kill Gel-chan!
Tokyo Tachikawa
Tense Battle: Gatchaman vs Gelsadra
One day has passed since
the decision was made that the Gatchaman would deal with Gelsadra.
It can truly be said that Tachikawa is in the calm before the st...
B-Behind you! Behind you!
It's Gelsadra! Gelsadra has appeared in Tachikawa!
Save us, Gatchaman!
Hey! It's Gelsadra!
Hurry, Gatchaman!
Sadra has appeared!
Fight, my fragments!
Stop running, Sadra!
Gatchaman!
Digitize!
X-saucer!
Bite and Build!
You're not getting away!
Burning Rain!
Burning Hammer!
Volcano!
This is amazing.
He's so hot and...
Tokyo Tachikawa
Huge Clash! You Can Do It, Heroes!!
too amazing!
How are they even filming this?
Um... It appears that the security cameras in the area
are streaming this live on the Internet.
This is Maiasa TV! We would love to get that footage.
This is Tokiwa TV! Please give your footage to us!
If possible, could we get the exclusive broadcast?
I think we can just keep going with the Internet streaming.
It's so exciting!
We just connected with our reporter, Saito, who's on the scene at Hanamidori Park.
Saito-san.
Yes. I'm here right in front of the still-peaceful Blue Sky Cabinet Hall.
Gatcha! Gatcha!
Hey! Whadya think you're doing, stupid Sadra.
Get 'em, Gatchaman! Beat that gross alien!
Hey, hurry!
Gelsadra just ran into Hanamidori Park barely hanging onto his life!
Take this!
Up Down!
Creeping Cherry Blossoms!
Go! Do it!
Take that, Sadra.
Yeah!
Gatcha's awesome!
Rending Gale Blade!
Holy crap, Gatcha.
They sure aren't holding back.
Just give up already, Sadra.
Die, Sadra.
I'll roast you with the flames of justice.
Phoenix Dive!
Come on, now...
This is going too far...
Isn't that enough?
They couldn't possibly...
Dictator Sadra on the Brink of Death?! Gatchaman Have the Upper Hand!!
This is a bit...
This is going entirely too far...
We're getting a ton of complaints?
Let's stop the broadcast for a sec!
Turn it back to the studio!
......... This isn't funny We never said take it this far
So, where's Hajime-tan? Did she run?
Prepare yourself, you ugly monster.
Go forth to your eternal slumber.
Take this final blow!
Please stop!
This is more than enough!
You're in the way! Move!
No!
The Infinite Blade, Storm!
Huh?
Hang in there. Hang in there.
Everyone, please look.
I wonder if Grossadra was properly buried.
Who knows?
But it's only been a day.
Who cares about Sadra?
Yeah, I was taken aback.
Isn't there something more funny on the news?
It looks like our plan was a success for now.
But what's important is what will happen now.
I've made arrangements with Millio-chan.
I'll go.
I made a promise to Senpai.
Senpai, leave the rest to us.
Good job, Gatcha!
Gel-Gel was so annoying.
But you guys might've gone a bit overboard.
Shut up!
You were the ones who left it up to us!
Now, we have Tsubasa-chan here representing the Gatchaman,
and she has an important announcement.
Yes.
Everyone, please listen carefully.
Gelsadra is
alive.
Breaking News: Gatchaman Have an Important Announcement! Misudachi Tsubasa Live in Studio!
Huh?
Sadra's alive?
What does she mean?
Hajime-chan, I'm so sorry.
Gelsadra was never on the run.
We, the Gatchaman, had him in custody.
We're sorry. We had no intention of deceiving you.
This is something that we all, as Gatchaman, decided together.
But Sadra was totally there.
He was totally getting his butt kicked.
Right?
There's something off about the way we're fighting.
And then, Senpai called out to us.
We're about to have a smart phone poll.
She said that this was a matter that affected all of us
so we should ask everyone.
Leave it to Gatchaman
Right!
Nope!
Got it. Then the Gatchaman will take responsibility and do something about it.
All right?
But, Hajime-chan, what are you guys actually going to do?
We're gonna go discuss that now.
And so, we had a discussion
on what we should do about Gelsadra.
Hajime-senpai's proposal was more than we could have ever imagined.
Kill Gelsadra?
Yep! This atmosphere won't calm down until everyone's satisfied.
Senpai!
Of course, I was against it.
We didn't have to kill him. We could just send him back to his planet.
But...
That's not going to work. This is a chance.
A chance? A chance for what?
For all of us to know just who we really are.
Senpai told us that our enemy this time wasn't the Kuu-samas or Gelsadra...
That it was actually all of us,
and the atmosphere that we all created.
This is a more difficult opponent than we've ever faced before.
We might not be able to defeat it, but we can at least make everyone aware.
We can't just keep letting something so ambiguous like the atmosphere
that can change in an instant keep controlling us.
That's why we're going to stop the atmosphere,
and she said we're going to kill Gelsadra to do it.
Everyone will be satisfied if Gel-chan dies.
Actually, they'll be so satisfied that they'll stop talking about it all together.
Otherwise, this atmosphere won't stop.
But I don't want that!
It'll be fine, Tsubasa-chan. If all of us work together.
All of us...
But Hajime-chan wasn't at the battle, right?
No, Senpai was there...
Right in the center of that battle.
