Oh! Gatchaman!
Don't Touch the Super Stuff
Today, at 1:10, a Galactor Iron Beast was predicted to pass by the entrance of Death Valley.
The Science Ninja Team got word of this and headed towards Death Valley at once.
Around here.
Will that information be true?
Oh, we'll know in a few minutes.
But who on Earth gave us that info?
Jinpei, you shouldn't worry about that now.
But don't you think this could be a trap?
We've already prepared for that.
Just don't worry more than you have to, Jinpei.
O-okay.
Spartan spotted!
Looks like our intel was correct.
All right, lift the Iron Bear!
A Circuit on. B, C, on.
Main engine at full power!
Caterpillar treads up!
Iron Bear in the air!
Th-there it is!
Looks like we can trust this intel.
All right, let's attack!
Mechandol, sir, it's just as we heard.
The Gatcha Spartan is coming at us from the left!
All right, commence the attack!
Pull up, quickly!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Ken!
The Gatchaman Fencer was knocked away!
A strange boomerang is heading this way!
We've lost the right-side Iron Tusk!
This is Nambu.
Return to base!
Mechandol, it's a trap! Return to base immediately!
The Iron Beast's getting away!
Incomplete information?!
Yes. A man named Gordon gave us this information.
But it seems it was just to show off the power of his Neophryte.
"Neophryte"?
What's that?
Long, long ago, many asteroids fell to Earth.
The high pressure and temperature brought on by their impact caused the high-density substance
encased in the meteorite to meld with Earth metals and create a new substance.
The substance, Neophryte, had been defined in theory, but no one has ever seen it.
It's stronger and harder than any substance known to man.
Not only that, but certain types of barriers will not work against it, either.
And Gordon is trying to sell it to either the ISO or Galactor, of all things!
What?!
So he's selling it to the highest bidder.
Are you kidding me?! If Galactor gets their hands on that...
Yeah! Then the Gatchaman Fencer won't work on them anymore!
Galactor cannot be allowed to have Neophryte.
Neophryte is absolutely necessary to our operation.
We've suffered great losses at the hands of the Gatchaman Fencer, but if we get Neophryte,
defeating the Science Ninja Team will be like taking candy from a baby!
Listen up! We must get our hands on that Neophryte!
Sir! I will depart right away!
Wait!
Huh?
He's demanded that Kempler go alone to negotiate.
Huh?!
What? Me, by myself?
That's correct. Those were Gordon's demands.
Slimy bastard.
All right. Where are the negotiations taking place?
In the same place, Death Valley.
Welcome.
You Gordon?
Now, let's talk about our trade.
Wait, Gordon!
You'll pay for your foolish idea of "trading" with Galactor!
Gordon!
Give up and hand over the Neophryte!
If not, you'll pay the ultimate price!
Gatchaman, get out of here!
Galactor!
Who's that?
You thought the Science Ninja Team wouldn't know what you bastards were up to?
Joe?!
The Science Ninja Team!
Just try to pull one of your dirty tricks and see what happens!
Go ahead, try, Kempler!
We'll blast you with a missile!
You can never be too careful with you lot!
Look, I told you to come negotiate with me alone!
And the Neophryte is hidden in another location!
If you try anything with me, you won't get your hands on my Neophryte!
Got it? Now go away!
This way.
It's certainly a rarity to get an audience with one of Galactor's top brass and Gatchaman.
I'm almost ashamed to bring you to such a squalid place.
Come in.
Just a reminder, I've rigged this cave to collapse if either of you try anything with me.
Got it?
Now, let's discuss a trade agreement.
My other Neophryte weapons are designed to be fired from a bazooka.
What?!
Fired from a bazooka?!
I've hidden it somewhere no one will find it.
Now, who will I give that information to?
How much does Galactor intend to pay?
10 million.
What? Did you come here to make a mockery of me? That won't do!
Now, what about the ISO?
Not a single penny!
What?!
Gordon, are you content to let Galactor take control of the Earth?
I don't care about that!
I didn't call you here to listen to your lecture!
All right, 50 million.
50 million is right.
You're off by a few digits.
Look, I want money.
I'm the only one who possesses Neophryte. You can only get it here.
Really mull that over.
Dammit, he's looking down on Galactor!
Why is Kempler having so much trouble with him?!
Everyone, get in the Iron Bear!
We'll get Gordon to tell us where the Neophryte is!
100 million!
Gatchaman doesn't even intend to buy it!
Why do you keep raising the price for me?!
I have to push the sale on you, seeing as you want to buy it so badly.
Then get Gatchaman out of here! This has nothing to do with him anymore!
Oh, no, it'd be too dangerous trading with you alone.
I have no intention of being your bodyguard.
But that's beside the point. lf you value your life, you should stop making this foolish trade.
If you do, Gatchaman will protect you with our lives.
If you leave, I'll sell it!
Do you want me to sell it to Galactor?
Gordon, you are a despicable man.
Say whatever you like about me.
I just want money!
I've spent many long months and made a lot of sacrifices for this!
Do you understand what will happen to the world if you sell Neophryte to Galactor?!
I don't give a rat's ass!
Big Bro! Galactor's on the move!
What?!
Dammit, we've got to stop them!
Get in the G-mechas!
So you're really all right with me selling it to Galactor?
That is a problem for your conscience to handle, Gordon.
There's no way this guy has a conscience!
Just a devotion to money!
Listen up! Don't let that Iron Beast get anywhere near their negotiations!
Roger!
Wh-who's there?!
Tommy! Why are you here? Leave!
I wanted to see you!
When I got your letter, Daddy, I wanted to see you so bad.
I told you not to come here!
Daddy, please come home.
No! I'm in the middle of an important meeting!
That's right, kid, a really important meeting.
Daddy, please stop doing scary things!
Tommy!
Everyone knows what you're trying to do, Daddy!
I don't need money!
I just want to live with you, Daddy!
We can live together soon.
Once I get really rich!
Daddy!
Dammit, it went underground!
All right, head straight towards Gordon's meeting room!
Gordon, take the 100 million!
Mechandol! You fool, we're so close!
Don't rush things!
Kempler, your methods are too slow! I'm not waiting!
Damn! Now I have no choice.
W-wait, Gordon!
I warned you!
Stop, Mechandol, are you trying to get me killed?!
Daddy!
500 million! The Neophryte's worth 500 million!
Daddy?
You give me 500 million and I'll sell it!
I won't go a cent lower!
Gordon! With the way you act, it's hard to believe you're his father.
Shut up! I don't have time!
Do you still not get it?!
I understand. You might be able to buy your idea of happiness with money,
but with Galactor's evil schemes, it won't last long!
People like you-
Stop! Please, stop!
It's not Daddy's fault!
The Neophryte changed Daddy!
Ever since he discovered it, Daddy's different.
I wish it would just disappear!
Tommy, where are you going?!
I'm gonna throw the Neophryte away!
I know where you'd hide anything precious, Daddy!
Wait, Tommy!
Where?! Where is it?!
There's no way he knows!
He hasn't lived with me since he was four.
I've only seen him three times since then!
There's no way he knows where it is!
No, I don't believe that.
I think Tommy knows.
Children who long after their fathers are like that.
Even I can remember my earliest days with my father very clearly.
No, he couldn't be going there?
Mechandol, the kid ran out.
He knows where the Neophryte is! Follow him!
You bastard!
Joe, protect the kid!
Roger! We won't let the Iron Bear get near him!
There he is, follow him!
Everyone, stop him!
I'm going to go help Ken!
Ken!
Joe?!
I'm gonna batter it down, so get out of the way!
I know! I know where it is!
I know!
Joe!
Ken!
This is it! This tree!
Daddy always put his special treasure in a hole under this deodar cedar!
I used to watch him in secret, because I wanted what he put in there...
I thought when I got older he'd give it to me...
but I don't need it anymore!
This stuff, it... it should just disappear!
We don't need it!
Don't hold back just because he's a kid! Go!
Tommy! Tommy!
Tommy, wake up! Tommy!
Th-the Neophryte!
You idiot! Do you have a death wish?!
What have I done? Why did I work so hard?
My dream disappeared before my eyes.
No, it's still here, Gordon.
The Neophryte is gone, but you still have Tommy.
You have Tommy, who cares so much about you.
Daddy!
Tommy! I'm sorry!
And so, Neophryte, the hypermatter,
disappeared from the face of the Earth thanks to the love of a father and son.
But the next Neophryte to be discovered might fall into Galactor's hands.
And next time, love may not win the battle.
A secret research lab on Fogey lsland studying a space pulse is suddenly attacked by an Iron Beast.
Dr. Spencer orders everyone to save the data first and foremost.
But to do that, they must abandon countless islanders.
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Appearance Terror of the Triple Iron Beast"!
Look forward to it!
