Oh! Gatchaman!
Violence?! The Decisive Battle of Africa!
A huge decisive battle is about to start.
The UN 8th Nuclear Fleet is sailing across the Atlantic Ocean
towards the northwestern African coast,
with its flagship, the nuclear aircraft carrier, the Interpublic at the head.
Thanks to the coordinated efforts of the Science Ninja Team,
the mantle energy base in the Golis Mountains was destroyed.
However, Galactor still took control of three mantle bases in the northern part of the African continent.
It was apparent that the situation would continue to worsen
unless Galactor was completely taken out in an all-out battle.
If we don't strike them down now, Africa will become one of their permanent bases.
The fate of the world rests on this one battle.
Those fools, Galactor is indestructible now!
If they'd obeyed and bowed before us, we would have spared their lives!
Before this, news of the African battle reached Gatchaman Base.
It's difficult to find a mission for the Science Ninja Team
to undertake in the midst of a large-scale battle.
My calculations didn't predict that Galactor would take so much of the African continent this quickly.
Why?
We risked our lives to destroy that one mantle base, but Galactor snatched up the rest!
What was the point of it then?
Looks like they drew our attention to that one so they could go after the others.
Egobossler's plans are more well-thought-out than we expected.
Which means they might have already produced a number of Iron Beast mechas at the other bases.
That's right. Even with their joined forces, the UN army is heading into a difficult battle.
Dammit, while we were doing that, Galactor turned the mantle energy bases into weapon factories!
Professor! What should we do?
You go for the heart!
Take down Egobossler!
These are the African mantle bases we've identified.
The one that likely controls all of them is here, Egobossler's main base.
If we take down this control base, and with it, Egobossler,
it will break their chain of command and put them at a disadvantage against the UN armies.
But how are we going to get into Galactor's main base? It's crawling with their forces!
Ken, it's up to you to decide how you get in there.
It's already out of the realm of my theoretical capability.
You've seen battle; you must make the plan.
I leave it in your hands, Science Ninja Team.
Chief!
The ISO will send you anything you need.
Good luck!
Ken!
Chief's such a jerk.
I can't believe he's making Big Bro take on all the responsibility.
B-Big Bro!
Let him go off by himself and think.
Either way, we'll still share the same fate.
But I feel bad, letting him suffer all on his own.
Ken's our leader, right, Jinpei?
Y-yeah.
This will be our lifeline.
Ken, all's according to plan!
All right!
They're falling right into Egobossler's trap.
Signal Mechandol!
Yes, sir!
Know this! No one can compete with the likes of Egobossler and our armies!
Tell all ships not to panic!
We must make landfall and be victorious!
But the sea floor patrol didn't pick them up at all.
So Galactor's scientific knowledge has progressed this far.
I can send out orders from this main African base 100 kilometers away from the action,
and they will get every detail.
But we are still missing some key players.
Where is the Gatcha Spartan?
The day I hold the world in my hands is close.
You're a great man, Egobossler.
Egobossler, it's too early to be celebrating.
Don't underestimate the Science Ninja Team.
My brain waves are already warning me of their mecha's intrusion.
Oh?
Leader Z, I joined forces with you.
Remember that I did not pledge to follow you blindly.
Watch and see how the Science Ninja Team will meet their end!
We shall see.
Now! Move in, follow Gatchaman!
There you are, Gatchaman!
Now! Do it!
We did it! We killed Gatchaman!
I heard we just blew Gatchaman to smithereens.
Now we're sure to win.
This doesn't sit well with me.
But we need to trick our allies to trick our enemies.
Shh! We're right at the gates of hell.
Halt!
We've brought anti-aircraft guns for the main base from the ironworks base.
Security card?
Here.
It was rejected!
Oh, it was upside-down.
All right, go ahead!
Phew! For a second there, I was sure the ISO had messed up with this fake security card.
But I can't believe we got through with just one card.
We can't relax yet.
If Ken and the others fail, then we need to succeed!
Yeah.
This is weird.
What is?
Look, this security card has the same number as the one that just went through.
What?! There's no way two cards can have the same number!
Look it up! Which one's the fake?!
What if the ones we just let through are spies?
Contact the Rider Commandos!
Yes, sir!
Go ahead.
It kinda freaks me out that our lives depend on that one little card.
The news that they've taken us down has spread quickly.
They have no idea it's one of Gramps's fakes.
Morons!
But Egobossler will look for the wreckage.
He's a physicist.
He'll figure out it was a remote-controlled fake eventually.
We have to storm Egobossler's central stronghold before then.
Dammit, they figured out our card's a fake!
ISO spies!
You're trapped like rats in a cage!
Go to hell!
Gatchaman!?
G-ghosts!
All we can do now is dive right into the depths of this hell!
Let's go!
Roger!
After them! Don't let them get away!
After them!
Dammit, seems like they figured it out.
They're here! We've gotta tell the others!
No, Ryu, we can't use the bracelets until we're at the end of our rope.
If they listened in on our communications, we could put Ken and the others in danger.
We need to go straight in ourselves!
All right, here we go!
What?! The Science Ninja Team?!
Yes, sir! They've broken through the Northwestern Gate!
That's impossible!
Report! We investigated the craft that fell in the Golis Mountains,
and found that it was an unmanned, remotely controlled craft!
What?!
Report!
Gatchaman has broken through the Northeastern Gate and is approaching the rear entrance!
What?! From both the west and the east?!
Destroy them!
Smash them to bits!
Egobossler!
You're already cornered!
Who's there!
Sneaking white shadows that hide their forms!
Gatchaman!
Gatchaman?!
The Science Ninja Team is here!
Elle Netter!
Swallow Top!
You bastards!
As long as Galactor exists, we will return from the depths of hell!
This is the end for you, Egobossler!
Impudent fools!
Have at you!
Joe! We have Egobossler cornered!
You've done it already?!
All right, let's go!
Wait, Egobossler!
Ken!
Joe!
Ryu!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan combination complete!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
So this is it...
Egobossler disappeared!
Curse you, Gatchaman!
I will regroup and return to take over Africa!
They're gone! All the Galactor forces disappeared.
Egobossler!
Where did you disappear to, Egobossler?!
Where did you disappear to, Galactor?!
Everyone disappeared, leaving nothing but an uneasiness in the air.
Inside Egobossler's palace is an emergency explosive device.
After receiving word of this, Gatchaman teams up with UN operatives and heads towards his palace.
But the operative is a double agent!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Destruction by Fire! Egobossler's Palace"!
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
