Senpai was there...
Right in the center of that battle.
Hajime-senpai decided to use a certain power that was hidden within her.
A certain power?
It's...
It'll be fine, Tsubasa-chan.
We're not going to actually let Gel-chan die.
What do you mean?
I'm going to borrow Katze-san's power.
Thanks, Hajime-tan!
It's finally my time to shine!
Katze? Does she mean that Berg-Katze?
What's going on?
So that was what happened.
I'm sure that you're all aware, but Berg-Katze
is a violent being that had almost
led this country into destruction.
Exclusive: Gatchaman Have an Important Announcement! Misudachi Tsubasa Live in Studio!
Katze is currently inside Ichinose Hajime-senpai's body.
So what's Berg-Katze's power?
It is the power to completely become anyone else.
Hajime-senpai used that power to completely become Gelsadra.
Then the Gelsadra we saw was...
It was Hajime-senpai.
What? You're kidding, right?
Then Gatchaman were beating the crap out of one of their own?
We argued for hours until this plan was finally carried out.
What if you die because of that?!
I won't die.
Using Katze's power is like making a pact with the devil!
Rui-kun, you were able to use the CROWDS,
and in the end, they became yours rather than Katze-san's.
Well, that's... true, but...
I think the risk is too high.
I find it hard to believe that by doing this, everyone will realize their mistake.
Well, we won't know if we don't try!
Don't be ridiculous!
As your leader, I won't allow you to do something so reckless!
Then, Pai-Pai, what would you do as leader?
Huh?
Are you just going to watch as everyone just goes with the flow and kills Gel-chan?
Or should we ask JJ?
Then we'll never be able to change.
But I can't attack you, Senpai!
Why's that?
Well... That's because you're not my enemy!
Then who is your enemy?
That's...
Tsubasa-chan, you thought about this in Nagaoka, right?
Well, it's everyone.
Our enemy this time is all of us.
Yup! That's why I'm also your enemy.
I'll be fine even if you attack me.
But...
It doesn't matter who's getting attacked,
but I'm the only one who can do this.
Whatchu talkin' bout, Hajime-tan?
This is all because of me.
You're right, Katze-san.
But I won't let you have your way, Katze-san.
I'm the one that's going to get defeated!
And the ones that are going to defeat me are the people who I believe in!
I want to end this atmosphere with everyone!
I think that Hajime-chan's exactly right.
This is the ultimate chance for this planet to wake up
that will probably never come again.
You said it, D-san!
I'm gloomy... But,
I won't let you die, no matter what!
Thanks, Utsutsu.
This is the only way to save everyone. Got it?
Then here we go!
Gatcha!
We're gonna kill Gel-chan!
We told you, didn't we, Tsubasa-chan?
Sometimes you have to risk your own life, in order to protect the things we hold dear.
But I couldn't gather my resolve.
I couldn't really tell if we needed to actually go that far.
Tsubasa-chan, how did things come to this?
Because... We didn't actually think it through.
We got caught up in the current, and this is where we ended up.
We never even considered how alarming that was.
I wonder why we didn't realize it.
That's because our thoughts agreed with everyone else, so we felt safe.
Then how did we come to the realization now?
Because we're alone.
We were by ourselves, stopped, and took a moment to actually think.
You're right. I thought about it, too.
I wondered if everyone would really be satisfied if I disappeared.
But then I realized that I didn't want to disappear.
I want to stay here longer.
I wanted to see you again, Tsubasa-chan.
Gel-chan...
Hajime-chan told me that was okay.
It made me happy.
That's why I wanted to help Hajime-chan out.
Hajime-chan said she wanted to ask everyone what to do with me again
after the atmosphere had calmed.
I plan on following whatever the result may be.
We were conflicted to the very end.
Sugane, are you going to be able to defeat Hajime?
I'm not sure, but we have to do this.
She really doesn't falter, does she?
That's just who she is.
That's exactly why
she won't die so easily.
And then, that day came.
What makes a hero? What, what, what?
Gel-chan.
Hajime-chan. Thank you.
This is nice. Everyone's become one rather nicely.
All right, here we go!
Go, Bird!
All right, Katze-san. I'm counting on you.
Okay! I haven't had kissy times in forever!
So excited!
Ge-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu...
Hurry it up, Katze-san!
I see you're a demon, as usual.
All right, here we go!
And then we, the Gatchaman...
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!
All right! I'm going give this fight my all!
You guys need to come after me with everything you've got, too!
It'll be okay. We're all heroes!
Digitize!
X-saucer!
That's not enough!
Ow! Katze angry!
We've only just begun!
Burning Rain!
Just how foolish are we?
Burning Hammer!
Volcano!
Gatcha! Gatcha!
Gatcha so annoying!
They want a massacre!
Don't you dare lose, Hajime!
Take this!
Up Down!
Creeping Cherry Blossoms!
They're serious... They're totally serious!
More, everyone.
More!
Rending Gale...
Blade!
I can't...
I can't keep up with you guys...
I'm not gonna lose...
I'm not gonna lose, no matter what!
Phoenix Dive!
Come on, now...
At the time, the Kuu-samas finally started disappearing...
This is going too far...
...because everyone finally started to realize it.
This was going too far. This atmosphere was too terrifying.
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!
Tsubasa-chan, no.
You can't be influenced by momentary feelings.
Senpai...
You need to finalize your resolve,
to understand us.
Everyone, can you hear me?
Once you defeat me, we need to ask everyone again
what we should do with Gel-chan.
I'm sure that everyone will think it through.
I'm leaving the rest to you, Tsubasa-chan.
Your words, Tsubasa-chan,
will reach everyone!
You're everyone's hero, Tsubasa-chan!
You're a hero, Tsubasa-chan!
The Infinite Blade, Storm!
That was the truth behind this plan.
Heroes don't just save those in front of them.
They must sometimes sacrifice themselves in order to save the many.
That is what Senpai taught me.
And where is Hajime-chan now?
Senpai has yet to regain consciousness.
Hajime-chan...
Wait, she died?
But it'll be okay.
She will return.
Because Senpai is the ultimate hero.
We're now going to ask you all again...
What should happen to Gelsadra?
There are three choices.
Leave him on Earth.
Make him leave Earth.
Leave it to Gatchaman.
However,
this time, please don't reply as quickly as you usually do.
We will tally the votes a month from now.
Until then, you can change your answers as many times as you'd like.
This is a very important issue that concerns all of us.
Please spend the next month thinking this over carefully,
and giving your own individual answer.
I will be thinking, as well.
Hang in there.
Senpai, I kept my promise.
Well done, Hajime.
But take a look at this.
Poor Hajime-chan.
This is basically all Sadra's fault, isn't it?
GTFO, Grossadra!
Everyone! There's a commotion outside!
You Can Do It!! Hajime-chan!
Hajime-chan, fight!
Get out here, Sadra! Apologize!
Hajime-chan, thank you for the feels
Senpai wouldn't want any of this!
Sadra! Go Back to Your Planet Now!
Everyone, is this what you really want?
Is this how you all really feel?
I was also scared to death
of being alone, and feeling different from everyone else...
But then I'll never be able to change!
I'm going to think on my own.
That's why everyone needs to stand on their own feet,
and come up with their own answers.
Please.
We are thinking, Tsubasa-chan!
Don't be so pushy.
I mean, look at poor Hajime-chan.
Sadra's unforgivable!
This is how we really feel.
No...
At this rate, nothing's going to change.
You can do it, Hajime-chan! We're here for you! You guys are useless. lol Wake up, Hajime-tan! She totally deserves the People's Honor Award She's a real hero (cry) Actually, isn't that opinion causing an atmosphere?
I can't help but feel like the atmosphere is starting to lean in another direction again.
I agree, but it can't be helped.
Why?
They were suddenly shown Hajime in that state.
It can't be helped that they'd all feel a certain way.
But then they'll just make a foolish decision again!
Tsubasa-chan, calm down.
Jou-san's voice is so deep Hajime-chan, fight! Thanks for our peace! Hajime so cute Where the heck is Sadra? Let's really take the time to think for ourselves. Yeah, totally. Let's take our time.
There's still time to vote.
We're the ones that told everyone to take their time, remember?
Yeah, totally. Let's take our time. Sugane has a good point Don't be swayed I'm gonna think to the end
Yes, but...
But you know, everyone's saying how terrible Sadra is,
Regarding Sadra's Future
Leave Him On Earth Make Him Leave Earth Leave it to Gatchaman
but he had some good qualities, too, didn't he?
Yeah. He was the first prime minister we all voted for, after all.
He would always accept what we voted on our smart phones immediately.
It was just for a moment, but don't you feel like you saw a glimpse of a good future?
Let's play once in a while!
Yeah! Everyone's so serious lately.
Sorry. I want to actually think about this.
But wouldn't it be scary if he stayed on Earth? I know, right? Let's think about this. Yeah, and not just have sympathy I've been thinking too hard my head hurts lol It'd be easy if Sadra just left
Senpai, everyone's thinking properly.
Yuru-jii? I have a favor to ask.
Wow, it's so pretty.
You designed them, right, Tsubasa-chan?
Yes! In hopes that Hajime-senpai gets better!
Can you see them, Hajime-chan?
Hey! Say something, damn it! I'm going to bite you!
She sort of smiled just now!
Hang in there. Hang in there.
Don't cry, Gel-chan.
Let's smile! Look at how great the atmosphere is!
Right, Senpai?
You...
Huh?
...were sort of like Hajime just there.
Regarding Gelsadra's Future
Today is the Final Day to Vote.
What should I do? I totally just voted.
Me, too.
Well, it should be fine. We all thought plenty about it.
Right?
I will now announce the results of the votes.
Regarding Gelsadra's Future What Would You Like to Do With Gelsadra?
We're counting on you, X.
Leave Him On Earth Make Him Leave Earth Leave it to Gatchaman
The votes have been tallied.
It's been decided!
Gelsadra will remain on Earth.
Everyone, thank you so much!
Decided by Votes!! Gelsadra to Stay on Earth
Senpai, you felt that, right?
The atmosphere we're in right now.
So, Gel-chan, what should we do now?
And so, in this new direction of politics...
Hey, PM Mulligan.
Akiyama Toshio
Where'd you hide that dangerous alien?
What are you going to do if it causes an incident again?
Are you going to take responsibility?
You Gatchamanphile.
I'm not obsessed with anyone.
I only followed through with what the people decided.
Kishida Yasuyuki
Are you trying to blame this on the people?
Yes. This is the fault of me, Akiyama-san, Yoshikawa-san, Kishida-san...
This is all individually our faults.
Now, then...
Relax, relax, relax, relax!
Wrong.
Aw, it's still wrong?
Don't get annoyed. One more time.
Relax, relax, relax, relax!
Wrong.
Aw, but why?!
Wh-What?
You want a piece of me?
Are you guys always stuck together like that?
It's more fun being separate.
Here I go!
Got it! Got it! Got it! got it!
Isn't this fun, Papa?
Yeah...
X, what do you think will happen to CROWDS?
Let's...
Take some time to think about that.
Thank goodness. The Jou I know is back.
Alan, I haven't changed at all.
My dream will always be
world peace.
Could you do something about this before world peace, though?
Sugane, we're moving out!
Right!
Hajime!
She moved!
I slept so well.
Katze-san has descended! Good morning, stupid shitty bitch planet!
Hajime-chan.
I'm gloomy!
Hajime!
Welcome back, Hajime-chan!
Senpai!
I can't breathe, Tsubasa-chan.
What happened after that?
Um... A lot's happened since then.
Um... I wonder where I should start...
Um, uh...
You haven't changed at all, Tsubasa-chan.
That's not true!
I've grown quite a bit!
Then you can take your time and tell me all about it.
Roger!
All right, everyone! Ready, and...
Gatcha!
The End
The end.
