Daddy fell down when he was on GALAX.
He's been sleeping in the hospital ever since.
It'd be sad if he didn't have a grave when he dies, right?
Don't worry.
Your dad won't die.
Really?
Yeah.
So you should cheer him on and tell him to hang in there.
Okay! I will.
Oh, LOAD!
Found ya!
I've gotcha now!
H-Hey...
This's LOAD.
Ain't he a good-lookin' guy?
G-G-Guy?
Way too cute!
G-G-Guy?
I'm bluetsutsu...
Let me handle this.
You're Utsutsu?
Did it hurt?
No...
Thank you.
I feel much better.
Please keep going, Utsutsu.
Okay.
Yes, Gatchaman speaking.
TV?
What's "PON"?
An interview?
Forget it!
We're not TV celebrities!

Yes, Gatcha—
An event at a shopping center?
Our transformations aren't for show!
A rock festival?!
Who do you think you're calling?
A festival? Sounds hella fun!
I'll sing!
Forget it!
I bet you're the one who made my cell phone number public!
'Course I was!
Then help, Newbie.
Sorry, I have things I gotta do.
You've just been shoveling food into your face the whole time!
Pai-Pai, good job.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Cheers!
Yes, Gatchaman speaking.
A nursing home?
What if they keel over from shock?!
Fly amaze it crore vavry rough
Spin up and know feel in brender lonely
Estrad and me under graven me on the starnet
Write the mean destroy baby rat stay up and no fear
Into end aloud these sir prize on me
Unders heavenly on the clone it
The world your word is
We are not alone
Don't let your fear hold you back
We're all like birds
Have to fight and go the distance
Listen to this sound
You go there
I'll fly away
The world your word is
We are not alone
We all are sometimes strong, sometimes weak
We're like birds
Have to fight and go the distance
My emotions are free now
They call me from far away, telling me to go
Crowds are calling my name
I never thought I'd have to register as a new user.
So Katze took GALAX and CROWDS...
Hey, everyone,
here're some sweets.
I'll get fat, Hajime.
Will ya start runnin' with me tom'rrow then, Utsutsu?
I'm bluetsutsu...
Here. You too, LOAD.
Oh, I don't use that name anymore.
I wonder what I should do from now on.
Both X and my NOTE were taken from me.
How should I deal with Katze?
Wh-What's this?
Ninomiya Rui is responsible for the GALAX coma incident!
Rui
It was caused by a dangerous weaponized app that he distributed!
Update, my ass. He was just a terrorist.
Cross-dressing freak!
GALAX is finished!
Losers.
They know nothing.
Rui, I'm gettin' it too. See?
"How that Gatcha girl talks is super annoyin'."
"Who talks like that nowadays?"
"What can a psycho do, anyway?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"Don't talk about Earth like you know anything!"
"Riddles? Makes zero sense. Lol."
"You're raising so much hell."
"You gonna take responsibility, ugly bitch?"
"Die!"
Are you okay with this?
I'm fine. 'Cause...
...you can just turn it off if you don't like it.
Right!
Okay, let's do it!
One, two!
Oh, this photo!
It's nostalgic! I'll save it.
Katze told me once that the true culprit is the "black heart."
It said that the black heart "overflows" and causes people to kill each other.
That's why these incidents will never cease.
The black heart...
Sugane!
Huh?
What would ya think if I died?
What?
O-Of course I'd be sad.
I see.
I'd be bluetsutsu too.
I see. Thanks.
Me too!
Fer real?!
Of course!
You're the G team's Sun, Hajime.
Rui, don't pay attention to any of that stuff.
They do say people's misfortunes are as sweet as honey, though.
Honey Karintou
Right!
I've solved th' riddle!
Wings of Six, I await you at the Spiritual Precipice.
What?
The broken children will begin a great festival.
The black heart that had slumbered deep within the earth will appear before the people.
That ain't good!
You can't turn this off.
I'm bluetsutsu.
Yes?
Umeda, are you ready?
Have you gathered your friends?
Yes, we're ready.
Umeda, your name will be in textbooks one day
as the great hero who saved this nation.
Yes.
Daddy, why are you smiling?
Mana, Daddy's become a great man.
Humans are so simple.
Hey, X.
How many people are too dangerous to ever give the CROWDS ability to?
Are you referring to those you had decided not to distribute the ability to, due to their lack of initiative?
Yes, that!
There are 29,533 users.
Let's give it to all of them.
It'd be a lame festival if it's just Umeda.
My dear comrades,
to all of you who share a grave concern for this world,
I will bestow a great power.
Please use it to grant all of your unfulfilled wishes.
You only live once.
No regrets.
Send.
Rui, were you not seeking a bloodless revolution?
Switching gears!
I wanna see blood!
See blood!
See blood-red blood!
Come on, X.
We're friends, aren't we?
Understood.
F-F-F-F-Fuel dropped!
I am Future GALAX, leader of the Neo Hundred.
We hereby announce to Prime Minister Sugayama and the Japanese government that we will update the nation.
Police Department
Hurry, Prime Minister!
Prime Minister's Official Residence
Prime Minister, are you all right?!
Wh-What the?
Watch out!
Multiple Buildings Collapse for Unknown Reasons in the Kasumigaseki Government District
Several government buildings have begun to collapse in the Kasumigaseki area.
Y-Y-Y-Yummy!
There have been no reports of earthquakes or fires.
Multiple Buildings Collapse for Unknown Reasons in the Kasumigaseki Government District
What is going on here?!
It's collapsing!
It's all collapsing!
It's the CROWDS.
Is this the "great festival"?
Run, me!
Gatcha!
We hereby announce to Prime Minister Sugayama and the Japanese government
that the police and the self-defense force are powerless before us, the Neo Hundred.
We urge you to relinquish authority immediately.
Chaos, it's been a while!
We will update this nation.
But what does this all mean?
I am Future GALAX, leader of the Neo Hundred.
Is this what the Gatchaman girl was talking about?
Then an alien's behind this?
We will continue to engage in acts of destruction until the government surrenders.
Seriously? Is Earth gonna go bust?!
A new world can only rise out of destruction.
I'm super excited!
Believe in us, the Neo Hundred.
That alien...
Umm... What was its name? Berg-something?
I'm Katze!
We will put an end to this corrupt world today.
Oh, where's Sugayama?
Don't tell me, he copped out?
Where are the Gatchaman?
Where are the heroes of justice?
Was it all a lie?
Leader, let's sortie ASAP.
Don't be ridiculous.
The CROWDS are controlled by humans.
We can't just attack them.
But...
They're all waiting for us.
I'm scared,
but I'm glad Gatchaman exist.
Just deal with them already, please!
I'm going.
Wait, Sugane.
I'm sure Katze is behind this.
The CROWDS have destroyed Kasumigaseki.
Our next target is the Ministry of Defense.
Comrades, are you ready?
Play the destruction!
With the CROWDS, regardless of distance, we can destroy the target with our minds alone.
I've heard this voice before.
He is an ex-Hundred member.
Katze must've given him the CROWDS ability.
The CROWDS is an invisible weapon; our sacred souls given material form.
Can the CROWDS actually be controlled from anywhere?
None may escape this weapon.
Yes.
Impossible!
Ministry of Defense
We have an update.
The Ministry of Defense in Ichigaya has also begun to collapse.
Ministry of Defense Collapses. Is it Connected to a Criminal Act?
A man claiming to be the leader of a group
called the Neo Hundred announced their criminal intentions on a video-sharing website.
Ministry of Defense Collapses. Is it Connected to a Criminal Act?
Just now, his pronouncements have come true.
This borders on the supernatural.
Just who are the Neo Hundred?
Ministry of Defense Collapses. Is it Connected to a Criminal Act?
It's just like Katze.
Ministry of Defense Collapses. Is it Connected to a Criminal Act?
It never dirties its own hands.
It pretends to be someone else and ignites planets on fire while enjoying the mayhem.
It wants to send this world up in flames.
Leader!
No!
Th-This situation is completely unexpected!
We must seek Lord JJ's advice!
Pai-Pai.
Most things in life're unexpected.
Even more things'll happen.
If JJ's like God,
he probly won't do anythin'.
He's not even from this planet, anyway.
I-I'm not from this planet, either.
But you and me are already friends.
Friends, my ass!
I'm your leader!
That's too complicated.
I'll ask ya as a friend.
What do ya really want ta do, Pai-Pai?
Wait. What've you been doing, anyway?
Lookin'.
For what?
Fer the game's boss!
Katze!

Incidents/Accidents
Alien Responsible for Collapsed Kasumigaseki Buildings? 10 Vehicles Overturned on Aoyama Avenue, Cause Unknown Train Derailed on Yamanote Line, Services Suspended in Both Directions Mysterious Blackout Along Tokyo Bay, No Estimate for Restoration of Power Small Fire at Tokyo Metropolitan City Hall, Electrical Problems Suspected
It'd be sad if he didn't have a grave when he dies, right?
Paranormal events have been reported not only in Kasumigaseki and Ichigaya, but nationwide.
They include vehicles suddenly being overturned, trains coming in contact with unseen objects,
and unexplained occurrences of blackouts and fires.
It's my fault.
It ain't.
It's all of our faults.
That's what Katze said.
It said it's all of our faults.
So that's why we gotta do what only each an' every one of us can do.
Exactly!
Let's think together on what we can do.
Now is not the time to be bluetsutsu.
We're already all in the same boat, aren't we?
What do ya wanna do, Rui?
I...
I want to get X and the NOTE back from Katze.
I'm sure X'll come back.
I mean, you've been on GALAX all this time with X, right?
That means yer friends.
A friend'll come back, fer sure!
Well, we all should be "Go"in' like a "Bird!"
But before that, we have somethin' we need ta do.
The second Gatchaman PR Campaign!
We're still doing that?
It's about to start.
Are you guys for real, Gatchaman?!
No way!
We just started the Gatchannel today!
Gatcha!
This's a super fun, hella excitin' show that directly connects us Gatchaman to you all!
You're so cute, Hajime!
Look, we already have questions from y'all!
"What are the CROWDS"?
Okay, we have someone knowledgeable about that.
Here's our special guest, Rui.
Jou, it started!
It's a live stream by Gatchaman!
C'mon! Hurry!
I'm not interested.
Hello, I'm Ninomiya Rui.
Gatcha!
Rui-Rui, no makeup!
Rui, you made GALAX, right?
Wait, it's OD!
That's amazin'!
OD's still alive?
First, I must make an apology.
I was managing GALAX
when an alien named Berg-Katze gave me a supernatural power called the CROWDS.
As you may have heard from the press,
Lame, Rui-Rui!
it allows its user to exert control, regardless of distance, through will power alone.
You used to make fun of these public apologies all the time!
The CROWDS have a physical manifestation, but it is invisible.
All the time!
Although I knew Katze was evil,
I used that power to help resolve various accidents and incidents.
However, in the end, I was attacked by Katze and...
Don't worry.
Your dad won't die.
Really?
Yeah.
So you should cheer him on and tell him to hang in there.
Okay, all right.
...I caused nearly 100 users of the CROWDS ability to become comatose.
I am deeply sorry.
Tachikawa City Hall
The CROWDS is an extremely dangerous power.
If you possess that power right now,
please do not use it.
Katze is taking advantage of you and trying to bring chaos to this world!
I believe in all of you.
I sincerely hope that no further acts of destruction will occur.
We feel th' same way!
Me too!
Don't quit, GALAX.
Okay, everyone! Gather round!
Tachikawa Mayor
Shimizu Shouhei
Ninomiya Rui, huh?
So young...
but impressive!
Next question comin' on up!
"Will Gatchaman fight Katze?"
Well, Pai-Pai? Yer turn.
Hey, there's the panda!
So tiny!
"Tiny"?
Don't call me "tiny"!
"Will Gatchaman fight Katze?"
Ahem.
Um, regarding whether we will fight K-K-Katze...
Pai-Pai, do ya even care if the Gatchaman becomes a laughingstock?
If you put out, you'll get three times as many honey snacks!
This p-planet is definitely under our p... p-pro...
Pro...

Lame!
"Can the Gatchaman defeat Katze?"
Th-That's...
Well, that's...
still a bit uncertain!
Hey.
It's uncertain, but I'm gonna try.
Hajime, you're so honest.
"Uncertain"? Quit being irresponsible!
Well then, it's 'bout time...
Three... two...
Bye!
Wow, that had two million viewers!
Jou
Way too many viewers!
Jou
Jou didn't come...
He'll come back in time.
I can understand how Jou feels.
There are things only those who've fought Katze can understand.
But if we don't do something...
It'll be okay.
If necessary, I'll spread my wings.
But if that happens, everything will vanish.
This city, us, everything.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
OD, I have a favor to ask.
Everyone, please follow me.
Gatchaman
Searching...
The Gatchaman, huh...
Gatchaman
Searching...
Why wasn't I told?
I'm the Prime Minister, you know?
Is Sugayama's location still unknown?
We located him just now.
Where is he?
Well, let's not rush ourselves.
Do you know what fire needs to go ablaze?
What?
A large amount of fuel.
I'm waiting for that.
There will be a huge blaze that can never been extinguished.
Aww, he cut me off!
Umeda's kinda nasty.
Rui.
Yes, my friend?
I may be imagining this,
but your facial expressions and manners of speech seem very strange at times...
a-a-at ti-ti-ti-times.
That's not true, X.
I haven't changed at all!
I'm just updating the world today too.
I see.
It's getting pretty fun, isn't it, X?
The Gatchaman are nothing to be afraid of.
They're just caged birds bound by JJ. That's why I stopped!
Heroes are...
lame-ass!
We don't need your prophecies anymore.
This is our planet.
So we'll do as we wish.
That's all I have to say.
Good job, Sugane!
Sugane.
Can I hug you?
H-Hey...
I'll hold you
Still unaware of where my feelings are headed
Let go!
H-H-Hey!
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
