Oh! Gatchaman!
Destruction by Fire! Egobossler's Palace
Thanks to Gatchaman's decisive efforts, Galactor's army suddenly disappeared.
Egobossler and Galactor's frenzied African invasion campaign has now come to this.
Chief, we patrolled every inch of the African coastline, but we didn't find any signs of Galactor.
Could they have gone straight back to Satanhofen?
Take a look at this.
Galactor's other tank division is being pushed further and further
into Europe by the UN 8th Fleet's ground forces.
Whoa, those tanks are awesome!
Those are the UN's newest weapon, the Phaser Tank.
Those tanks can melt 60-millimeter thick steel with the phaser ray guns mounted on them.
That's crazy awesome!
We'll be invincible with that on our side!
But I don't think the Galactor forces are scattering just because of these new tanks.
It's clear that there's a break in the chain of command.
That could mean that something happened
between Egobossler and the one pulling the strings, Leader Z.
Yes, that's exactly it.
Egobossler has already returned to his Satanhofen home base.
Huh?
How do you know this?
The UN has an intelligence operative, Colonel Bachs, in deep cover in Satanhofen,
and he rushed us the information.
That bastard! I knew he'd run off to hide in his castle!
This is Colonel Bachs.
According to his intel, there is an emergency time bomb inside the palace.
Chief, let's rendezvous with Colonel Bachs ASAP,
blow up the palace with that device, and capture Egobossler!
Huh?!
Ken, it's too dangerous!
That's right, last time we tried going in they beat us pretty bad!
Yeah, Big Bro!
Jinpei! How can you defeat Galactor if you're afraid of them?
Scary.
And this time the situation is different.
Galactor has fallen into disarray.
We need to use that disarray to move forward.
It's just as Ken said.
This is our best chance to capture Egobossler.
Chief, please let us go.
All right, understood.
I'll send the file on Colonel Bachs as well as passcodes
and a meeting time to you via Telex ASAP.
I'll also contact the UN forces and get them to fly in a Phaser Tank Squadron
Thank you for taking care of that.
As for Satanhofen, I'll go in by myself.
What?! Don't be stupid, Ken!
It's too dangerous to go alone!
That's how it has to be done if I'm going to sneak in unseen.
The rest of you will stay back in your G-Mechas and cover the phaser tank squadron.
Okay. Once you've said it, there's no stopping you.
If those are your orders, well, there's nothing we can do.
Be careful, Ken!
Big Bro...
Chief! The Science Ninja Team is heading out!
Be careful out there, and I pray for your success!
Roger!
Mechandol, sir! We've received a telegram from our 4th Tank Squadron in France!
It's only a matter of time before the UN armies wipe them out!
Urgent message from our troops in the Alps.
They're on the verge of total destruction by what's believed to be a partisan resistance group!
On every front, the UN's phaser tanks have cut through our lines, and we can't even resupply them!
What is Count Egobossler doing?!
There's nothing I can do about it.
You must ask the Count for orders.
The Count is currently in a private meeting with Leader Z.
What is happening, Egobossler?
You turned and ran with your tail between your legs at Gatchaman's attack!
I did not run!
I came back to our main base to rebuild our command structure!
Stop saying that!
Your troops are in disarray because you've retreated!
How are you going to take responsibility for that?
Don't insult me!
Without us humans, you couldn't accomplish your goals!
How about you do your job and build more Iron Beast mechas before scolding me?!
I have anticipated what is to come and have begun preparations.
If what you were after was to remain the hero,
you should act at once to recover from your present situation.
Dammit!
I can't believe he's ordering me about on every little thing!
But it's just as he said, we can't allow any setbacks!
But what should I do?!
Who is it?
Sir, it's Kempler.
Enter.
Count, this is urgent.
One of our new spies, Yurgent, has finally gained Nambu's trust
and is going to make contact with Gatchaman.
What?! How did this happen?
I carried out this plan on my own authority, and for that, I'm sorry sir.
Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.
Sir! The plan to lure out Gatchaman and destroy them looks as if it will be successful!
So you're saying they bit at the bait we left them?
That's correct.
I see. Well done, Kempler!
Yes, sir! Please leave it to me.
Good luck!
Egobossler!
If I can take down Gatchaman, the tide will turn right away!
Ken, security's tight.
They have checkpoints throughout the city.
All right, I'm off!
Wait here until I call you on the bracelet!
Big Bro! Maybe it really is too crazy out there to go in on your own.
Jinpei, there's no use trying to stop him.
Just let him go.
But...
Okay, I'm counting on you.
Ken!
Do you remember the passphrase for Colonel Bachs?
"A normal jack's no good."
"That's not true, it's all in the way you use it."
All right, now that he's on his way...
Jun, Jinpei, follow me.
Huh?!
Where?
You really think I'd let him run into a dangerous situation alone?
Huh? You're going to disobey orders?
Come on, I bet you were thinking the exact same thing.
Well, maybe.
Let's go, Big Sis.
Jeez, there's nothing I could say to stop you two!
Joe, what about me?
You stay back.
Wh-what?! I-I am not doing that!
Staying back and keeping watch is an important job.
Let's go, Jun, Jinpei!
Ryu, staying back's an important job!
Hmph! I've been staying back a lot lately!
What a terrible job!
Just kidding!
All right, go ahead.
One SPG and three trucks.
Okay, go ahead!
Thanks!
Got a flat tire? Want some help?
A normal jack's no good. I need a bigger one.
That's not true. It's all in the way you use it.
Gatchaman! I've been waiting for you!
Colonel Bachs, let's get on the move right away.
All right. First, let's fix this flat tire.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
Whoops!
Oh, sorry, my hand slipped.
Do you want me to take the tire?
Sure.
All right.
That idiot! He screwed it up!
Whatever, we'll just shoot him ourselves!
Yes, sir!
Not now!
It's like the whole city is a fortress.
I can't believe people can make a life here.
Colonel, are the people living here families of Galactor soldiers?
That's right. If necessary, women and the elderly could pick up a gun to fight.
Even those kids could use a gun, if the situation called for it.
That's crazy! Galactor would make children fight, too?!
Children are taught to fight for their mothers and fathers; for their families.
They haven't known anything but Galactor since the day they were born.
Damn you, Galactor. You've done a terrifying thing.
Watch out!
Walter!
Walter, Walter!
Walter!
Th-thank you so much!
Of course.
You saved my son's life.
Are you hurt?
No, I'm all right.
Really? Good. Please, come to my house for dinner tonight.
No, I'm in a hurry right now.
Gatchaman, why did you save that boy?
He's your enemy.
That may be true.
But when I saw he was about to be hit, I had to jump in to save him.
That's all.
I would think any normal person would have done the same. Am I wrong?
Well, I guess so.
All right, go ahead.
Thank you.
All right, I got it.
The truck Gatchaman is on just entered Block 8!
Hurry!
Sir!
Yurgent, why don't you do it already?!
Did he double-cross us?!
All right, looks like we made it.
We have to get as close to Egobossler's palace as possible!
Gatchaman, look out!
Huh?!
Die, Gatchaman!
Kempler, you bastard, are you trying to kill me, too?!
Finish them off, Kempler!
Egobossler, sir, we have reports of aircraft approaching at low altitude from 10 o'clock!
What?!
The aircraft appear to be UN transport planes.
Our radar didn't pick them up earlier due to their low altitude.
Those impudent bastards!
Prepare to attack them at once!
Die!
Bird Go!
Ryu, launch the Gatcha Spartan!
Roger! I've been waiting for you guys!
Ken!
Joe, is that you?!
You guys!
Okay, you can yell at us later.
Right now we've got to get Egobossler!
Colonel, are you all right?
Gatchaman, I'm sorry.
I am actually a Galactor spy.
Huh?!
I thought this would happen!
I figured it out back when we were fixing the tire.
Kempler ordered me to kill you, Gatchaman.
But I couldn't do it.
Ryu, blast through the palace wall!
Roger!
All right, we'll go in that way!
Bird Go!
What?! Gatchaman has broken into the palace?!
Sir! The enemy is so small they slipped right through our gunfire!
Those cowardly bastards!
Attack them with the Iron Beast Centipede!
It's an Iron Beast mecha!
Fire!
Bird Laser, Fire!
Elle Netter!
Swallow Top!
Gatchaman, this way!
Leave this to us!
All right!
Gatchaman, this is it!
This is the switch.
Press it and it will explode in five minutes.
All right!
Damn you, Gatchaman!
Die!
You traitor!
Colonel Bachs!
Bastard!
Colonel, stay with me!
G-Gatchaman.
I'm glad I met someone like you at the end.
Colonel Bachs!
Colonel!
I see. Colonel Bachs is dead.
Yes. It was a good end.
So what of Egobossler?
He disappeared, along with the city's citizens.
Not a single person remains.
Where on Earth did they all go?
They must have moved to a new base.
That's probably it.
Egobossler's not the kind of guy who'd be taken out by something like this.
Huh? Look what I found!
The palace collapsed in a blazing fire!
Egobossler must bear the full brunt of Gatchaman's attack.
And twenty to thirty secrets are hidden underneath Egobossler's palace
that not even the Count himself knew about!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Hell's Burning Ambition"!
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
