Oh! Gatchaman!
Danger! Gatchaman Base
After his African invasion plan data was stolen by Gatchaman,
Egobossler ordered his underlings to infiltrate Gatchaman Base and steal the data back.
Sir!
Kempler, you seem to be having some difficulties.
Yes, well...
Security around the ISO is extremely tight, so retrieving the information has been a little, well...
You haven't made any progress yet, then.
Yes, sir!
I'm sending you a little rat.
One that will be of much use to you.
Yes, sir!
Get out, Vittendorf!
No one knows anything about Vittendorf's past.
He is an exceptionally talented political assassin.
Explosions with no explainable cause.
It's said that many unexplained cases are without a doubt connected to this man.
He's a skilled strategist whose very name can cause assassins in the underground to turn pale.
So, Egobossler.
I guess you are really happy you left me alive.
What work do you have for me?
Take those off his wrists.
Yes, sir!
Don't bother, I'll take care of them myself.
This rat should be able to cut right through the Science Ninja Team's belly.
I just don't get this bit!
Uh...
What? If it isn't urgent, then save it for later!
O-okay.
So, how is the data analysis going?
Chief Engineer Kamo and the others have been working on it nonstop.
Even with all of Gramps's talent, extracting their plans from the encrypted cassette is a difficult task, huh?
What's wrong, guys?
I'm just stressed out.
About the data?
Yeah.
Jinpei?!
Stressing out just because you're worried about some data?
Man, some Science Ninja Team you are!
You're right, Jinpei. Let's think it over.
All right, one more!
It's acting kind of weird!
Jinpei, your bracelet fell off.
Oh, man!
It's broken!
You should fix it right away.
Yeah, I will.
Hey Big Bro, do you know what tomorrow is?
Tomorrow?
What is going on tomorrow?
Whatever!
You know what day tomorrow is, right?
Tomorrow...
What is it?
Fine, fine!
Big Sis hasn't forgotten, right?
I mean, you rescued me when I was all alone in the mountains and took me in,
and you've been by my side ever since!
I don't know. Why, is tomorrow special?
Aw, man, this sucks!
Nobody remembers!
Message from Chief Nambu!
Really?! If you came to help, we could decrypt the enemy data in no time flat!
Chief Engineer Kamo, "no time flat" is surely overestimating how long it will take.
I'll bring the tactics data the ISO has collected.
Oh, Chief Nambu!
What's up?
I was going to ask if he knows what tomorrow is.
The Chief's too busy to answer your little quiz, Jinpei.
We're busy, too.
We don't have time for quizzes.
It's not a quiz, dammit!
Fine then! You're all big meanies anyway.
Have you intercepted the ISO's communications yet?
The message encryption code changes every few seconds, so it's impossible to intercept.
So they aren't half bad.
We shouldn't underestimate them.
Now, then.
I'm borrowing your room.
All right, let's go!
I don't let anyone see my methods.
You promised me I'd have privacy.
All right. But failure is not an option!
I know.
Go.
I told you not to poke your nose into my business!
But Chief, it's too dangerous to travel to Gatchaman Base alone without protection!
Please wait for us to send you an escort!
I can't wait for them.
Decrypting this data is urgent business.
Must you leave right this moment?
Yes. I leave the rest in your hands.
All right. I'll defend the base as best I can.
"Too dangerous to travel to Gatchaman Base."
"I can't wait for them."
Nambu will be heading to Gatchaman Base very soon!
All right!
That must be it.
Nambu! What happened?!
I'm all right.
Just a bit of a headache.
It's fine now. Let's go.
All right!
Well, look at you, coming back like nothing's wrong!
What are you talking about?
Why did you kill my man?!
Because he tried something and failed.
That's what happens to guys who get in the way of the work I put my life on the line for.
You'd react the same way, wouldn't you?
Nambu is heading to Gatchaman Base.
What?!
Contact the pursuit group and tell them to go after that helicopter!
Yes, sir!
Wh-what are you doing?!
I'd appreciate it if you didn't do anything unnecessary.
My work is not yet done.
I told you not to get in my way.
How can you let it get away?! We'll find out where their base is!
If you follow them, you'll lose everything.
Do you think Nambu is stupid enough to show you where their base is?
What?! So you're saying you've found their base?
I can.
And they won't decrypt our plan data, of course.
The Count will be pleased.
Don't worry. There aren't any aircrafts following us.
The helicopter checked out all right, too.
Yes, we did a very thorough examination.
We even checked out the vehicle with an infrared device.
Thank you. We can travel to the base without fear.
Chief, we've established a communications link with the base.
This is Nambu.
This is Gatchaman Base.
Chief Nambu, please send the keyphrase.
Sending it now.
An uninvited guest cannot go through the looking glass.
I repeat, an uninvited guest cannot go through the looking glass.
That's it, it's Chief Nambu!
It feels like I'm home again.
Welcome!
No, you should be saying "welcome back!"
That's right! Say "welcome back!"
All right, everyone, altogether now!
Welcome back!
Thank you.
Here is a birthday present for you.
Thanks, Chief!
Birthday?!
That's right!
That's why I was asking everyone yesterday!
But nobody remembered!
I'm sorry, Jinpei!
It's fine!
I'm glad you remembered, Chief!
Go on, open your present!
Okay!
Wow, this is awesome!
You have really outdone yourself, Chief.
Come on now, you shouldn't say that!
Okay, you really outdid yourself, Chief!
That's good, right?
Another headache, Chief?
Y-yes, how very strange.
That's not good. You should go rest. Y-yes, how very strange.
That's not good. You should go rest.
I'm sorry. I think I will.
Almost done.
That's weird. Why is it lighting up?
Now watch.
Now you'll see I was telling the truth.
It'll start working on this squirrel's brain in just a few seconds.
It immediately starts destroying its surroundings.
Then kills itself.
Well?
Th-that's crazy! You did that to him?!
According to my calculations, it should be happening soon.
Nambu will destroy Gatchaman Base for us!
If what he's saying is true, he's not just a rat after all.
What?!
Wh-what's going on?!
What happened?!
An accident has occurred!
Fire in Sectors 15, 13, and 17!
Ken! What happened?!
I don't know!
We need to stop the explosions!
Who is there?!
P-Professor Nambu?!
Why?
The hangar!
Let's go!
Chief Nambu!
Chief Engineer Kamo!
The Chief's being controlled by someone!
You need to stop him!
What?!
Gatchaman Base will disappear from the surface of the Earth today!
Chief! Please stop!
Chief!
What happened to you, Chief?!
Die!
Now is our chance! Chief!
Spread out!
Big Bro!
Ken!
Come on, come on, come on!
Dammit!
I can't do it. I can't shoot him.
Damn you and your dirty tricks, Galactor!
That's it!
Jinpei!
What are you doing?!
No, Jinpei! Don't shoot!
Professor Nambu! Chief Nambu!
Jinpei, what did you do?
Jinpei?!
It's his glasses! These were controlling him!
His glasses?!
Really? Let me see.
This is terrifying.
Truly evil science.
Where am I? What happened?
Kempler, sir!
Gatchaman is alive!
What?! They're alive?!
Yes, sir!
Th-that can't be! Don't be silly!
Between last night and this morning, no large explosions were recorded anywhere in the world!
It looks like you failed, Vittendorf.
But why?!
My plan was perfect!
We do not tolerate failure!
W-wait! Let me try again!
Something must have gone wrong!
It's not like you to panic in the end!
All right. It's just as you say.
Before you kill me, could I have one last cigarette?
All right. Have one.
Looks like I'm out of luck.
What's this needle?
How terrifying.
It's too dangerous to let him live.
Vittendorf's horrifying plan fell apart.
But this is not the end of Egobossler's plot against them.
What is their plan to invade Africa?
Will the team decrypt their data?
Hurry, Science Ninja Team!
Use all your wisdom and courage!
Egobossler has ordered a special express train,
carrying materials for his Iron Beast mechas to Gibraltar.
Hearing this, Gatchaman wants to destroy it.
But lots of hostages are also on the train!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"The Saturn Limited Express Z-Press"!
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
