Fear of the Extinction Ray Gun
After the data on his plans was stolen by Gatchaman from his Data Bank base,
Count Egobossler and his goons worked feverishly to recreate his plan.
Sir!
No one should be able to decipher that data!
Don't try to console me!
Nambu is an excellent scientist.
He will most certainly decipher it.
Shall we change our plans entirely then?
That's stupid! All of our forces have already started to deploy!
Then do we kill Nambu, or do we rush our African advance?
Those are our only two choices.
By the way, how is Dr. Doll's extinction ray gun research proceeding?
Sir, it should be completed very soon!
Have him finish that quickly then equip a mecha with it!
Does that mean we're rushing our African advance?
That's right.
We'll leave Nambu and Gatchaman speechless!
Kempler! I'll leave recreating the data cassette to you.
Sir!
Sir! We've just received information that Dr. Doll's daughter has escaped the Alps Base!
What?! His daughter has escaped?
Prepare the helicopters!
Yes, sir! At once!
We've just received word that Dr. Doll's daughter has escaped a Galactor base in the Alps
and was taken in at a National Defense camp!
Huh?!
Dr. Doll presented a new theory on the destruction of matter last year at the World Science Council,
but he went missing after his theory wasn't accepted!
I never thought he was kidnapped by Galactor!
According to his daughter,
Dr. Doll has been working on an extinction ray gun for Galactor.
An extinction ray gun?
What's that?
To put it simply, it's a weapon that can destroy anything
that exists on Earth in a matter of seconds.
It's a terrifying weapon that can pierce through the Earth
and destroy a city from right underneath it at full power.
So the enemy's plans are to use that weapon to quickly expand the area they control!
Before they attack with that weapon, we need to find their secret base
and do something to destroy it!
All right, let's go!
Science Ninja Team, launch!
Roger!
Science Ninja Team, I pray for your success!
They have a ton of mechas defending it, team!
Chief Engineer Kamo, how goes deciphering Galactor's data?
I'm using all our computers and trying every possible pattern to decipher it,
but it's proving more difficult than I'd expected.
Please continue that as quickly as possible.
Roger!
Why did you let your daughter run away?!
Are you trying to betray us?!
We kill traitors!
Don't be so angry at him, Mechandol.
But sir!
Professor!
I granted you your wish.
So why have you allowed your daughter to escape?
I don't want to believe that you would betray me, professor.
I did not let her escape!
She escaped on her own! I knew nothing of it!
That must be so.
You wouldn't betray me, the only one who truly understands your theory.
Sir! Gatchaman is heading towards the National Defense Camp!
So they've come.
Dr. Doll, finish this device at once.
Soon, you will have the perfect opportunity to prove your theory to the idiotic scientific community.
All right.
Why'd she escape?! That idiot!
She's worked so hard with me on my research,
and now we can finally prove my theory to the scientists that rejected it!
What?!
So that means the professor wasn't forced to join Galactor?!
That means it was his choice to work with Galactor!
Why would he do that, Karen-
Stop it, you two.
There must be a reason for all this.
Isn't that right, Karen?
Yes. My father presented his theory at the World Science Council a year ago.
And his theory was rejected at the council meeting.
We know that.
Yes. After that, my father was like a living corpse.
It was so hard looking after him when he was in that state.
That's when Count Egobossler came to my father.
And he provided him with the funds and resources to conduct his research,
bribing him with generosity, huh?
My father and I believed Egobossler because he was a Count.
The Count used my father's theory to make a weapon.
I was against it, but my father said it was a chance to triumph over those who ridiculed him.
Gatchaman! Please, stop my father's terrifying research!
At this rate, the whole world will be destroyed, and they'll label my father as a traitor!
Karen, please tell us where Galactor's base is in the Alps.
I'm sorry, but I was so focused on escaping, I don't remember where it is.
But you should see it when you get close.
Please take me with you.
I want to try once more to convince my father to stop.
But we can't take you to such a dangerous place.
Please take me with you!
I won't get in your way, I promise!
Ken, please bring her with us.
I understand the feeling of wanting to save your father painfully well.
She'll be fine with us.
And if she doesn't come with us, we won't be able to recognize the enemy base.
Why not, Ken?
Just like how you can't get up the mountain without a guide,
we won't be able to get in the base without someone showing us the way.
It's finally complete.
Let's attach it to the mecha Leader Z built right away!
Wait! Let's test it first.
I want to see the result of his work.
Professor, can we destroy the ISO's Mantle Energy plant on the African continent?
As long as it's within the firing range of three thousand kilometers, we can destroy anything.
Then let's try it out at once.
All right, everyone to battle stations!
Open the dome at two o'clock!
Weapon ready to fire!
TV Broadcast Flying Saucer on standby above Benin in Africa!
All right, fire!
The giant laser beam that Dr. Doll fired from his extinction ray gun and
rushed towards the ISO's Mantle Energy plant on the western coast of the African continent.
All right, change course 90 degrees!
Everyone! We have an emergency on our hands!
The Mantle Energy plant in Benin, Africa was destroyed in a matter of seconds!
Huh?!
Dammit! We were too late!
Father!
We intercepted this transmission from one of Galactor's flying saucers.
Wow... That huge factory, gone in an instant.
Yes, everything in a twenty kilometer radius of the plant has been destroyed.
Gatchaman! You must destroy it quickly, or we'll have a second disaster on our hands!
Understood!
Everyone, as soon as we see the Galactor base, we're rushing in!
Roger!
Father, you idiot!
You idiot!
It's all over!
It's more powerful than I had ever imagined.
It's incredible!
If we put this on an Iron Beast mecha and have it wreak havoc all over the world,
all the world's people will fear us, and fall under our control at once!
All right! Attach this to an Iron Beast at once!
Egobossler!
All right, bring an Iron Beast mecha here at once!
Yes, sir!
What do you think of that?! Do you finally realize it now?
My theory wasn't wrong at all!
Father!
Karen?
Karen, you came back!
No, I came to destroy that weapon!
Have you lost your mind, Karen?!
Look at that!
We've finally gotten our revenge on all those people who made fun of us!
No, you've lost your mind, father!
Please, stop this!
Don't be silly! That was just a test.
Our real revenge is only beginning!
Father, come down from there!
If you don't, I'll...
What are you doing?!
Don't you lay a hand on my daughter!
You loud-mouthed bitch!
Who's there?!
Sometimes one...
...sometimes five!
Sneaking white shadows that hide their form!
The Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman!
So you've come, Gatchaman!
Kill them!
Owl Screw!
Elle Netter!
Swallow Top!
Karen! Wh-what are you doing?!
Father, please, don't do such a horrible thing ever again!
Stop, stop it, Karen!
Karen!
Father, forgive me!
I'm sorry!
Karen, you idiot!
Karen!
Why?
Why did you do this, Karen!?
I won't forgive you, you bastard!
Egobossler!
You've ruined my plans once again, Gatchaman.
Take this!
We're at a disadvantage on foot!
Let's attack in the Gatcha Spartan!
Roger!
Launch!
Here we go!
Have another!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
I'm certainly unlucky to have you as an enemy, Gatchaman!
You spat on Karen's earnest desire for world peace!
For that, I will hunt you until you die, Egobossler!
I won't forgive you!
Next time we meet, I swear I will cut your throats!
You're not getting away!
Ken!
Big Bro!
Ken!
Karen, it's my fault.
It's only now that I've lost you, my irreplaceable daughter, that I realize my foolishness.
Please forgive me!
Professor.
Let go of me!
Please, let me die to atone for my sins!
What good will dying do?!
Dying won't make up for your sins, or for betraying Karen!
If you really want to apologize to Karen, you'll live on and accept your punishment
and spend your whole life working towards world peace!
If you do that, I'm sure Karen will forgive you.
I'm sorry, Gatchaman.
Gatchaman's rage did not subside.
Their rage burned on as a flame,
hating Galactor for tearing apart the bonds of love between a father and a daughter.
The unbelievable happens at Gatchaman Base!
Chief Nambu appears to have lost his mind as he begins to destroy the base from the inside!
Jinpei stands in the chief's way, all while the chief holds a detonator in his hand!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Danger! Gatchaman Base"!
Look forward to it!
