Oh! Gatchaman!
The Saturn Limited Express Z-Press
The SP-1 data cassette with the African invasion data was stolen,
and you failed to destroy Gatchaman Base.
I'm disappointed in you, Egobossler.
They won't decipher the data on that tape so easily.
You don't know how truly strong they are!
They took down Leader X.
But they have one great weakness:
they lack the ruthlessness required of a soldier!
Great Leader, by the time they decipher the data on SP-1 ,
we will have captured the largest Mantle Energy base on Earth.
Well, then.
Yes, soon we must show them how you operate at full power.
I've sent the Saturn Limited Z-Press to Gibraltar with the materials you need to build Iron Beast mechas.
Using Gatchaman's weakness against them, too!
Everyone, I have an urgent matter for you.
What is it, Chief?
Galactor's most likely aiming for our largest Mantle Base in Africa.
They'll probably go from Gibraltar into Africa.
Galactor's soldiers have been gathering here.
So that means we just have to bust them up!
No. A train called the Z-Press is heading towards Gibraltar from Galactor's main base, Satanhofen.
According to our intel, the train is loaded with the raw materials they need for their African invasion.
So we'll blow up the train.
That's right. The UN sent explosive operatives, but I'd like you to help them.
Gatchaman, head out!
I pray for your success!
Roger!
In just a few months, the whole world will belong to Galactor!
That's our Egobossler. He made quick work of it.
What's that?!
Gatchaman!
That's it!
All units, move into attack formation!
Roger!
All right, let's go!
Hold your fire! Ascend quickly and combine!
It's just as Egobossler said.
Gatchaman can't do a thing.
That's Gatchaman's weakness.
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan combination complete!
Dammit! They're playing dirty!
What'll we do, Big Bro?
Change of plans.
Joe, Ryu, Jinpei, head straight to the Gibraltar railway bridge.
Set explosives on the bridge there.
Jun and I will infiltrate the train and save the people on it before we get to the bridge.
It's too dangerous for the two of you. I'll go too.
No, once you're past that bridge, you'll be right in the middle of Galactor forces.
You only have one chance to succeed.
I'm counting on you, Joe.
All right.
Don't throw your life away down there, Ken.
All right. Ryu, take us down!
Roger!
You came this close to getting killed by Gatchaman!
Wh-what's going to happen to us?
When this Z-Press arrives in Gibraltar, we'll be given orders from Kempler.
Are we going to be kept alive?
I don't know about that.
We're going to be killed for sure.
They won't need us once this train gets to Gibraltar.
No! That can't be!
Well, that isn't wrong.
Gatchaman!
Elle Netter!
Save us!
Please save us, Gatchaman!
Are there more hostages in the other cars?
No, just in this middle one!
All right, everyone move to the last car!
We can't. Galactor's troops are in all the other cars.
If they attack us...
If we don't get you out of here, everyone will die.
Be brave!
Unfortunately, that's pointless.
What?!
This train will explode in five minutes.
Anita! You bitch!
Who are you?
I'm Anita, an Explosive Operative dispatched by the UN.
And I've already set a time bomb to go off!
What!
Turn it off immediately!
No!
Why?!
I was ordered to blow up the Z-Press. It's my duty!
Then what about these people here?
If this train makes it to Gibraltar, everyone in the world will be in danger.
That's how important my mission is.
So as long as you follow your orders, you don't care what happens to us?!
And if that blows up, you'll die, too!
I have no choice.
There's no time! Where did you set that bomb?
I can't tell you that.
Why are you fighting Galactor?
To save the lives of each and every person, am I right?!
Don't move, Gatchaman!
This is the end of the line for you!
We'll kill you, along with the hostages!
Take me as your prisoner.
So, please, spare these people.
Don't bring innocents into your plans!
Sure enough, Gatchaman has some brass ones.
I wish I could say I respect that, but no such luck!
Wait!
My time bomb will blow up at the smallest shock to this device!
Thank you, Anita.
Don't get me wrong.
I saved you on impluse, Gatchaman, but I won't hand over the time bomb.
Open up! Open the door!
A time bomb's going to explode!
Stop! If you come any closer, I'll throw this device on the floor!
Dammit, I don't know what an Explosives Operative is, but to us, you're no better than Galactor!
Ironic, isn't it?
I'm hated by the very people I'm fighting for.
It's no use. I'm going to die.
Anita, dozens of lives are in your hands.
An operative cannot stop her plans once she's started.
The only time she would is if she failed.
D-dammit!
Jun!
Ken, there are only thirty seconds left!
Disconnect the fuse!
Got it!
We're saved!
This isn't over.
An operative doesn't stop working on her plan until the last person falls.
Sooner or later, this train will blow up.
Hurry, get to the last car!
We'll cut the car free!
Come on, you can make it just a little further!
Why are you saving me?
We can't abandon you.
Come on, hurry!
You should've left her behind!
What are you saying?! She's risking her life to fight Galactor!
Jun, I'll do it!
Science Ninja Team...
They did it!
We're saved!
Jun, take care of them!
All right!
A bomb! There's a bomb on that train!
What?! A bomb! There's a bomb on that train!
What?!
It's controlled remotely by my colleagues.
Dammit! This is your doing again!
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
Stop!
Calm down!
Anita!
Leave that train to me.
What's going on with Ken and Jun?
Did they save everyone yet?
This is Ryu!
This is Joe. Have you heard anything from Ken?
Not yet.
How are things going over there?
Just as we thought, the defenses are pretty crazy.
It's like they were protecting a base or something!
We're going to be risking our lives to get past their defenses and set up the bomb.
Big Bro, wouldn't it be faster to destroy it with the Gatcha Spartan?
You moron, if we tried that, we'd get shot down by their high-powered guns!
On the other hand, if we try to prance on in there, we'll be walking right into the hornet's nest!
I'll go. Cover me.
W-wait! If you do that, you'll...
Jeez, I need more than one life when I'm with Big Bro!
Big Bro!
Look at that!
It's chaos out there!
Who are they?
They're probably the UN Explosive Operatives that Nambu talked about.
Their mission is far more important to them than their own lives.
Stay with me!
There's no point in dying without completing your mission!
Wh-who are you?
We're the Science Ninja Team!
S-Science...
It's up to you...
We'll get revenge for you.
If I can cut off that fuse...
Anita!
Stay with me, Anita!
Anita!
She did it!
We're saved!
Anita!
Thank you, Anita.
Ken!
Cut us free!
Joe, Jinpei!
This is Ken!
The hostages are safe!
Blow up the bridge as soon as possible!
Big Bro, we gotta hurry!
All right!
We did it! The Z-Press went down into the crevasse!
No, it's not over!
We still have work to do!
What?!
I'll put on the finishing touch.
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Thus, the bridge was blown up with the help of the relentless explosive operatives.
However, Gatchaman didn't know there was a big secret behind this plan.
Sir, Mechandol's armored forces are closing in on the African coast!
We'll begin our land campaign soon!
Perfect!
A perfect plan, if I say so myself.
I never figured they'd be lured in by my fake plan!
And Gatchaman showed us their weakness!
After landing in Africa, Leader Z takes control of the largest Mantle Base and an ironworks.
Chief Nambu orders the Science Ninja Team to destroy the base.
They must fight against their own Mantle Base, a symbol of peace!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"The Order to Destroy the Mantle Base"!
Look forward to it!
Byun, byun, byu byun byun
