Rending Gale Blade!
Evade, newbie!
Sn-Sn-Sn-Snip!

Petits Ciseaux!
Balles Pastels!
Storm!
Snip, snip, snip.
Snippity snip!
Huh? This's how ya respond?
This's kinda differ'nt.
Maybe it's not what I thought.
Wh-What the...
You idiot!
I fly amaze the crowd
Baby wrap it up
and I feel immoving
The loneliness' too strong for me
Only ground for me
Almost on it
Alight the land
The show baby wraps it up
but I'm feeling to end this
Little bit of surprise for me
on this upper layer on the planet
The words you wove is
we are now home
Don't let your fear hold you back
Go! Fly like a bird
I have to fight them and go the distance
I let this piercing noise guide me
As I fly to the other side
The words you wove is
we are now home
Reunited with all these weak
Yet strong individual spirits
I have to fight them and go the distance
I let my rampant feelings guide me
As I answer the call
Go! The crowds are calling my name
Tachikawa Station North Exit
Are you kidding me?!
Human lives are at stake!
Do you understand what your intervention means?
I guess we go back the normal way?
C'mon, give up your seat.
Sugane, maybe everyone's tired.
Huh?
Like maybe they feel awful, but can't skip work.
Or perhaps they're feelin' under the weather.
We've leased the thirteenth floor.
That so?
So Jou and OD're here too?
OD and Utsutsu are in Apartment #2.
Jou rarely comes home.
OD, Utsutsu!
I safely completed my first combat mission!
How can you call that "safely"?
Man, I'm pooped.
There a bathtub here?
When are you going to stop following me around?
This's my apartment, though! Apartment #1!
Hey, newbie!
Your luggage is here.
Thanks!
Giraccho, ya got here in one piece!
Honey Karintou
Oh, what do we have here?
Hey, don't come in without permission.
I knew ya actually liked 'em.
No, this is just a strategy to throw people off!
The Kamoshida Cabinet continues to be rocked by bribery allegations.
In response to recent allegations by certain news weeklies that not only Finance Minister Asada,
I really like a guy who can cook.
Pai, you don't cook?
but also Justice Minister Niigaki may have accepted payoffs,
I'm your leader!
So stop calling me Pai as well!
Prime Minister Kamoshida appeared to defend his staff,
dismissing allegations as mere media accusations.
Man, humans are so inferior.
Prime Minister Denies Bribery Allegations
No wonder they're still under surveillance by the rest of the universe!
He has, thus far, rejected any calls for his resignation as unnecessary.
Opposition to Boycott Diet Deliberations
Thanks fer th' meal!
Thanks.
How is it, Leader?
Uh, good.
Thank you, as always.
Sugane, this's really pretty!
R-Really?
But...
I think I wanna fiddle 'round with it a bit more.
Done!
Yer meal is served!
Come on...
This is so messed up.
It can't possibly taste good.
Delicious!
Yay!
It's good...
Sudden Death of Popular Idol
Miss Kiritani Noa, a member of the popular idol group, Goo Goo Pamore,
has died after jumping from her agency's rooftop.
Man... That's hella sad.
Although no suicide note has been found,
I struggle to understand why anyone would take their own life.
sources close to the idol believe it may have been triggered by rumors of an affair being circulated online...
Well...
maybe she was havin' a really tough time.
No, it's because she didn't value her life.
You too.
What? I'm not goin' anywhere.
You don't value people's lives, either.
That's why you can't finish off the enemy!
Yer wrong 'bout that.
Hey, newbie.
Oh, the name's Hajime.
Why did you interfere?
I did no such thing!
It was differ'nt!
What was different?
We just shouldn't go "Wham!" like Sugane.
That's not what we're all about.
Why, you—
Newbie, you should just follow Sugane's orders for now!
Boo!
D-I-Y.
Do-It-Y...
What's Y stand fer again?
What are you doing?!
Huh? Sup?
First, stop drilling!
Oh, oops.
Are you even listening to me?
Oh, that's not it.
I forgot ta tell everyone what time ta meet t'morrow.
Tomorrow, at 5:00 PM...
What does she want to do?
At the Tachikawa-Kita monorail station.
Guys, meetup's tomorrow 5:00 PM at the Tachikawa-Kita monorail station.
What's that?
Oh, it's GALAX.
Never heard of it?
I haven't.
I only use my cell phone for calls.
For real?
Are you a fossil or somethin'?
Who're you talking to?
Besides, you can use the NOTE to contact people!
But that's only with other Gatchaman.
Don'tcha have any friends, Sugane?
GALAX is hella fun.
That one's me.
Aren't my clothes super cute?
I designed 'em myself.
Cute.
They've become sorta popular.
Cute.
See, she's wearin' 'em too.
Hi, Rei!
So it's just playing dress-up.
Yer wrong.
GALAX is amazin'.
It celebrates birthdays too.
It's just a game.
There're bars and gyms too.
I got a huge workout last week.
It's a game.
You can catch pervs and stalkers too.
It's not like we only interact on GALAX.
Durin' the disaster, GALAX was a huge help.
Haven't ya seen the news, Sugane?
Everyone's been workin' hella hard since then.
I went ta help out jus' the other day too.
Did you?
The stars're awesome.
I see...

Mom
Hello.
Yep, I'm fine.
I fought.
Huh?
I didn't get hurt.
I'm fine, okay? But my new home...
Tachikawa City Hall
Okay, I'll be heading home now.
Hey.
Did you really graduate from Tokyo University, Jou?
Maybe. I don't remember things that far back.
Why are you working at City Hall?
You're so efficient.
I was bored.
I heard the mayor asked Jou if he'd like to become his secretary.
That's a huge opportunity!
I'm not interested.
Major terrorist attack.
Major Terrorist Attack
[Drill] Major Terrorist Attack in Chiyoda Ward Please evacuate.
Major terrorist attack.
Oh, was the drill today?
It'd be so scary if we actually had one.
This area may also be in danger of a terrorist attack.
It's actually already happening...

Collage Community
Meetup
"GALAX Collage Community Meetup"...
"Collage"?
What's with this gathering?
Does everyone have too much time on their hands?
Don't they have to work?
Sugane, you haven't done anythin' yet.
What would I know about this stuff?
Anything goes. Jus' give it a try!
Here, use this maste.
"Maste"?
Masking tape.
Like this...
And ta-da!
Isn't yer sword pretty?
C'mon, let's go join everyone.
I'm Kuwabara.
Sugane, he's Baracchi.
Hi.
This guy isn't some nobody.
Who is he?
Baracchi's a fire chief.
Huh?
That man is Nobu, the mayor of Tachikawa City.
Th-The mayor?!
She's right.
Hey, look.
Sir?
These are pictures of my daughter growing up.
Nice, right?
Right...
I apologize for not recognizing you.
I'm her, I mean Ichinose's, classmate—
Oh, your last name is Ichinose, Hajime?
Really?
You don't look like an Ichinose.
Hey!
You should've told me beforehand that they were the fire chief and the mayor!
But they're all jus' normal guys.
They're totally harmless.
Gatcha!
Who is she,
really?
You have a great junior.
Sir?
This meetup began after Hajime posted on GALAX.
She said we should make collages to send messages to the disaster zones.
I see.
Over time, we really got into it.
Now, my daughter and I show each other our planners.
They say young'uns these days are no good,

Hey, not bad.
Guess I'm not cut out for this.
It's fine.
Everyone's is differ'nt.
I see...
Man, I hope the whole world gets this way too.
Huh? The whole world?
Kind of like this.
Lots of differ'nt things comin' together, but everyone still smilin'... That'd be perfect.
Being a civil servant is great, no?
You can start drinking early.
I guess.
Hey, you should compete once.
You have a chance at winning.
No way, Alan.
There are tons of guys far better than me.
You've changed, Jou.
Have your dreams changed too?
Nah.
I see.
Still the same old same old.
World peace.
U-tsu-tsu!
I'm bluetsutsu.
Yer on GALAX too, D?
OD.
I heard, Hajime.
You let a MESS go?
Nah, that's not it.
Sugane got hella pissed!
"Not it"?
What happened, then?
Well, like...
There's no point in cuttin' 'em down.
More importantly, I haven't really met 'em, y'know!
Yeah, that's it!
"Met 'em," huh?
'Sides, why're we fightin' 'em, anyway?
Whoa!
Are you trying to reject the basic premise of Gatchaman?
You're way too fierce!
You're scary, newbie!
I was serious. Why do we?
"Why"?
Because that's our duty!
Oh, you were here, Sugane?
You don't understand anything.
Listen, Gatchaman are—
Aww, you're starting to sound like him!
Huh?
Like Pai-Pai!
Who are you calling "Pai-Pai"?!
Pai-Pai, you on GALAX?
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm obviously all over it!
Listen up, newbie!
Ha-ji-me.
The name's Hajime.
And what's with you, OD?
Listen. Don't bother thinking about why you fight or anything else.
Just carry out the mission!
There are casualties every day!
Protect them!
Whose planet is this?
"Yours, isn't it?!"
Right, you do get it! Good!
Huh?
You!
What the hell is that?!
Oh, ain't it cute?
The NOTE is the lifeblood of Gatchaman!
It is a sacred, physical manifestation of each member's soul!
But you see, Hajime, the NOTE becomes our Achilles' heel when we transform.
If anyone destroys your NOTE, you could die.
That so?
Hey, I was just about to say that.
The physical materialization of each of our souls...
I get it.
That's why our gear and weapons're differ'nt.
That's right!
How dare you paste senseless decorations on them?!
Okay, question:
Why's it the sword fer you, Sugane?
I... don't know.
I wonder why.
And why's it scissors fer me?
But yer a sword kinda guy...
Like... straight as an arrow, and hella stubborn.
Newbie!
Sugane!
Here I was just listenin' ta you, and now this?!
Th-That's my line!
I was the one listening!
Like I said, the name's Hajime!
What? You're the newbie!
Man, that's all ya ever say.
You know what kinda person you are, Sugane?
Ya jus' look straight ahead like this, and walk in a straight line.
But that means you'll miss seein' lots of things,
like Giraccho, maste,
and pretty and cute MESSs!
If you can't see all those kinda things, as a Gatchaman...
as a person...
yer not at all... y'know?
What's she talking about?
You!
Like I said, I have a name!
It's Hajime!
I'm here.
I've been right here next ta you, Sugane!
C-Cut it out already!
Wings of Six, gather at the Spiritual Precipice.
"A bird with sundered wings has wandered in."
"The bird is no longer sane."
What does this mean?
Hey! What are you doing?!
No way...
I'm bluetsutsu....
Oh, hi there, JJ.
There's somethin' I've been wantin' ta ask you.
Wow! Amazing!
I think I saw somethin'...
"Chaos will stand above the head of a demon"—
"The head of a demon" sounds hella interestin'.
Cut it out.
We're not here to play a game!
It really is above the head of a demon!
This time, you will not escape.
Let's go!
Amnesia...
Amnesia Effect!
Let's go, Sugane!
A-All right.
Go, Bird!
Relinquish the innocent to us!
Maste?
Sorry 'bout that!
Grands Ciseaux!
What're you doing?!
Wings de l'Avenir!
I'm not gonna go snippity-snip!
MESS!
Mornin'!
Wait, no.
Evenin'!
Yeah!
Nice to meet ya!
She's not attacking it?
MESS, I've wanted to meet you.
What have you done?
I think we've met now!
Hey, it's not safe. Stop.
Maybe, but...
We definitely haven't met before.
Huh?
C'mon, Sugane! Now's the time.
What?
I'm sure it'll tell us where the missin' people went.
You...
So cute.
What?
Don't stare, dammit!
Who the fuck are you?
Aww, no way.
C'mon.
Should I drop fuel?
Hey, don't stop.
Get outta the way or Imma kill you!
Who're you talking to, punk?!
Outta the way, man.
Lemme go!
Apologize!
Don't get ahead of yourself!
You started it!
Y-Yummyyyy!
Crap!
Get an ambulance!
You make the call.
Get an ambulance!
I'll try this route.
Hey, we have someone injured here who fell down the stairs.
It will be fine.
Let's stay calm and deal with this.
There are three GALAXTERs in the vicinity with first aid experience.
Yes, stairs in front of the taxi stand at Tachikawa Station's North Exit.
I'm a nurse!
I can help.
Where do you hurt?
I called the ambulance.
I don't think we need one.
GALAX is far more useful.
Maybe.
There's a nurse nearby. Looks like it'll be okay.
Congratulations.
The world has been updated.
Maybe I'll go for another round.
It's not heroes who'll update the world.
It's us.
Home!
Welcome back, Rui.
Here is my report.
There were 228,434 new GALAX app installations today.
There are now over two hundred million registered users.
Sounds good.
87.5% of them are active users, up 0.5% from yesterday.
But there's still a long way to go.
I'll hold you
Man, I'm starving.
Still unaware of where my feelings are headed
I try to enjoy myself, but it always gets me down
Makes me want to disappear
I can't tell the difference between fact and fiction
This world I live in is just a puppet
A half-empty notebook
Full of emotions that cannot be put into words
Those pure feelings
Keep screaming out my name
No man is an island
We all wish to be connected
It is that desire that keeps you safe
And gives you strength
Even if the changing times make walking hand-in-hand
A thing of the past
We fully understand this chaos
And that dreams have the power to change destiny
