Challenge of the Iron Commandos
On the island of Paron lies a beautiful nation blessed with many natural resources.
Its citizens place their trust in Queen Mariabeth and all live in peace.
However...
Please, don't shoot!
I'm begging you.
The Nation of Paron will stop resisting.
So please stop your unreasonable destruction!
Egobossler! Egobossler! Egobossler!
Queen Mariabeth, I am Count Egobossler.
The Nation of Paron is now under the control of Galactor.
And this castle will be our forward base of operations.
Evil never thrives.
You will go to hell, I promise!
Hell?
I am a man who has already walked through the fires of hell and survived!
I will not find myself there again!
Take them away!
But treat the Queen Majesty with respect!
Listen up, all of you!
Establish a perimeter around the island of Paron!
Kill anyone who tries to get off the island!
The people of Paron will serve Galactor.
Kill anyone who resists!
Egobossler! Egobossler! Egobossler!
Gatchaman! The island of Paron has fallen under Galactor's control!
What?!
According to my information, Galactor has decided to erect their main forward base on that island.
I see. They're advancing their forces.
They're using the island of Paron as a foothold for their invasion of Africa!
Africa is where the world's energy comes from!
It's the site of many of the ISO's Mantle Energy plants!
They've got to be going after the energy plants in Africa.
Yes, but it seems their true objective isn't that straightforward.
The ISO's lntelligence Department is looking into Egobossler.
According to their data, his father and grandfather and even his very old ancestors
have all aspired to control Europe.
Perhaps the desire to take over the world runs through their veins.
There are many parts of Egobossler's family that are shrouded in mystery.
It's not clear whether his family had a rank in court.
He might've named himself Count anyway.
We don't know much of the man's past, either.
The only thing we know is that...
he graduated from Devilsburg Graduate School with a degree in physics.
Huh? He has a degree in physics?
That's right. If someone like that paired up with Leader Z...
It's difficult to think that his goals are just to seize the energy plants.
What is his true goal, then?
We don't know, but it's true that he's taking very strange and erratic actions.
It could be something as terrifying as the Solar Shift plan!
I'm not going to let them build a forward base!
How interesting.
Big Bro! What's interesting?
Think about it.
Egobossler built a forward base of operations without running or trying to hide.
Let's sneak into Paron and capture him.
That will put an end to Galactor's plans and organization!
I get it!
Chief Engineer Kamo! We're leaving at once!
I've been waiting for that.
Everything's repaired and ready for you!
Ken, twenty kilometers to Paron Island!
All right! Stay off the radar and stay close to the sea surface!
Roger!
There's Paron Island!
Climb!
Gatchaman! Stay away from Paron Island!
Else we will shoot the hostages!
What?!
Look at the cliff!
With one word, all the Paronians will die!
Dammit! You dirty bastard!
Get away, Gatchaman, or the hostages are all dead!
You coward! I won't forgive you for this!
Count, Gatchaman retreated with their tail between their legs!
Is that so?
I didn't expect Gatchaman to be so terrified.
It's exactly as you say, sir.
Kempler, how go the preparations for the celebration of the capture of Paron Island?
All will be ready soon.
Prepare the most delicious foods from all over the world.
We will have French cooking, ltalian cooking, Spanish and Mexican cooking...
All sorts of dishes from all over the world.
They have radar around the whole island, covering it like a big net.
And they have a low-altitude radar, which is what picked us up.
They have a lot of helicopters patrolling the skies above the island.
And they must have set up a secure guard along the coast.
All right! I'll infiltrate it by myself!
Huh?!
Ken, it's too dangerous to go alone!
It's more difficult to detect one person than all five of us!
Wait for my report!
This is G-1 . Gatchaman!
It looks like you made it somehow!
We'll be fine if we follow along the northern coast.
I'm going to infiltrate the castle now!
All right. We're praying for your success!
Gatchaman, you've got some guts trying to infiltrate our island's defenses!
But the Iron Commandos won't let you go any further!
Die, Gatchaman!
Hello! I brought the cake for the party!
Here's my clearance paperwork.
All right, move along!
Count Egobossler, congratulations on your conquest of Paron Island!
Gentlemen, no, my Galactor fellows,
allow me to extend my heartfelt thanks for giving us this chance to celebrate our victory.
Egobossler! Egobossler!
However, on this glorious day,
Gatchaman has infiltrated our Paron Island's defenses.
But our loyal and talented Iron Commandos and Kempler
have struck down a member of Gatchaman and sent him to a watery grave!
Egobossler!
My fellows! These glorious nights are few and rare!
I would like you to enjoy tonight to the fullest!
And our beautiful Queen Majesty...
...will also celebrate the glory of Galactor!
To the glory of Galactor!
Egobossler!
Cheers.
Your Majesty, do you intend to slight me with such an action?
I am not insulted in the slightest.
In fact, as a man trying to take over the world. I am honored that the leader of a nation,
and a beautiful queen at that, would take such an action against me.
What are you doing?! You filthy animal!
Count Egobossler!
Please accept this heartfelt present from all of us.
A present?
Oh, how splendid.
Oh, my. What a wonderful gift.
The number of candles is the number of countries you're going to take over!
Mechandol, the world will surrender to my might in the days to come.
With this cake, let us pray that the fallen Gatchaman finds happiness in the next world.
We're right here!
So, you're Egobossler!
Gatchaman!
I've come from the depths of a watery grave to capture you!
I can't believe you survived!
Get out of here, small fry!
With the five white shadows together, we call forth a storm!
Gatchaman! This is our first meeting, yes?
Your calm and collected attitude,
the kindness hidden amongst the intensity on your naive faces.
A great man who stands up again, no matter how many times you strike him down.
Not a man I would want as an enemy.
As long as there are those who seek to destroy the world's peace,
we will rise up from the depths of hell!
That is Gatchaman!
Wonderful, Gatchaman.
Everyone, to the Gatcha Spartan!
Roger!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan combination complete!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Come on!
Let's go!
Here we go!
Gatchaman!
I respect your courage!
I leave the Nation of Paron to you.
But your battle with Egobossler has only just begun!
We will meet again, Gatchaman!
Gatchaman couldn't capture Egobossler.
But thanks to their efforts, the Nation of Paron was saved.
Crush Egobossler's plans!
Gatchaman! Protect the world!
Science Ninja Team!
In front of Gatchaman's eyes, a Red Cross ship going to aid refugees is attacked.
While navigating an ocean riddled with mines,
they go on a rescue mission with a group of boys hoping to save their friends.
Gatchaman stands to face Galactor with fury!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Charge! The Terrible Soldiers"!
Look forward to it!
Byun, byun, byu byun byun
Fantastic, fantastic, Gatchaman
Protect our home
Enter the Iron Beast mecha
Dancing through the sky on white wings
Our friend, Gatchaman
The morning sun is a splendid match
To the colors of blazing wishes
Byun, byun, byu byun byun
Fantastic, fantastic, Gatchaman
