Go, go, go Gatchaman
Today, the sky bustles
Today, the Earth bustles
Oh! Gatchaman!
The Evil of Mechaland
What? You want Egobossler out of your sight?
Yes. I dutifully followed Leader X, and now you, Leader Z,
but despite that he speaks to me with no respect!
Even for a newcomer, his attitude is appalling!
Respect comes to those who earn it.
Why would someone who has no respect for those
who came before him pledge his loyalty to His Excellency?!
By loyalty, you mean abase yourself before him and wait on his beck and call?
What?!
I don't need a lecture on loyalty from someone whose actions ring hollow.
Damn you!
Stop!
Egobossler, state your business.
I have just ordered Mechandol to create
a special operations squad consisting of our most elite forces.
A special ops squad of elite forces?
What an exaggeration.
If you truly wish to show your loyalty, you could at least give a decent suggestion.
Not to worry.
There are many scientists in my family, all of them better than you.
Excuse me!
Your Excellency! Such an insolent man would never truly pledge long-
It's alright.
No matter how wicked he may be, I'll use him as long as I can.
If he turns his claws on us, we simply need to kill him.
Forgive me, Your Excellency.
I had no idea you had easily seen through his intentions.
Meanwhile, the President of Tanzania landed in New Haven, a city close to New York.
Your Excellency, thank you for coming all this way.
The pleasure is all mine.
I'm glad to be able to meet with you, Chief Nambu.
Could these two be from the Science Ninja Team?
That is top secret information privy only to the ISO, so I cannot tell you that.
Right, I understand. Good luck out there.
The President was the leader of an international peace movement
who was traveling to many different countries.
What a magnificent parade. I'm very pleased.
Oh, that was only the beginning.
There will be a much larger parade to welcome you tomorrow.
Oh, then I'm looking quite forward to that.
Your Excellency, please.
Oh, thank you!
Won't they be surprised!
What's going on?
Something's happened at the parade!
Roger! We'll be right there!
Knockout gas!
Joe!
I understand how you feel, Chief.
I'm relieved to hear no one was badly hurt.
Please don't apologize.
Yes, Your Excellency.
What's wrong with the children?
We're looking into the cause right now, but unfortunately we don't know.
My, the children are not the bad guys here.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's parade.
I'm relieved to hear you say that, Your Excellency.
I've traveled to many countries and seen many different things.
Many of those things were horrifying.
Don't worry.
Excuse me.
Oh, it was you!
Thank you for keeping the children from being harmed.
Everyone's feeling a lot better. Please don't worry.
Please excuse us.
Alright, try to remember and tell me one more time.
I already told you!
As soon as we reached the stand, my head got all fuzzy, and when I came to I was in this bed.
So no one remembers anything.
Yes.
We're completely at our wit's end.
I thought we could find out by asking the children, but...
If we don't know what caused this, the same thing might happen tomorrow!
Could we cancel the welcome parade?
The President might be disappointed, but that's the best choice to preserve the safety of the city.
It's me, Chief Nambu.
What?! A crowd is by the station?!
Let's go!
Roger!
So it's not just the children in the marching band.
Even if we cancel the parade, we might not be able to keep the peace.
They acted as if they were all hypnotized.
Hypnotized?
That could be the case.
The only ones who would use scientific means to perform a mass hypnosis...
...would be Galactor and Egobossler.
Yes. I'm going to return to New York for now.
We'll stay here and keep watch.
Please do!
Everyone, come to the roof! Hurry!
What's wrong?
Everyone's going the same way.
Those kids are, too!
Wait!
Follow them!
An amusement park?
Now that I think of it, the parade was supposed to end here.
The secret behind the mass hypnosis must be in there!
You've finally come, Gatchaman.
That's right, a mass hypnosis device is hidden here.
I see, so the adults and children who visited the amusement park were given a hypnotic suggestion,
and by activating a specific radio frequency, we can control them.
But for Gatchaman to find it so easily,
the Egobossler Family must truly be weak.
The show is not over yet.
You've finally come, Gatchaman!
You bastard!
Stop! Look over there!
Stop your foolish resistance!
Drop your weapons, or you're all dead!
Damn it all!
Yeah, that's right!
Incredible.
With this, killing them will be easier than taking candy from a baby.
We won't be killing them.
What?!
Gatchaman will be my henchmen.
Cute underlings who will follow my will.
Letting them live and making them my pawns is far more evil, is it not?
Chief, we've finished analyzing the hypnosis waves.
Special electric waves stimulate the brain and change its RNA,
then radio waves of the same frequency wash over the brain and take control of it.
And that's how they're controlling people?
Is there any way to interfere with that radio wave?
There is, yes, but it requires a lot of power.
Everything is ready.
Good work.
It's time to put on the finishing touches!
Yes, sir!
"The finishing touches"?
If Gatchaman were under your complete control, what would you make them do?
The President!
Right! We'll have Gatchaman assassinate the ambassador of love and peace,
the President of Tanzania,
and then we'll announce to the world that
Gatchaman has become part of the Egobossler Family!
Good work.
Gatchaman! Science Ninja Team! Come in!
Science Ninja Team, come in!
That's strange. None of them are responding!
Could it be?!
Hurry!
Yes, sir!
You're-
Has Gatchaman come back?
Yes, they came through here not too long ago.
You send out the disruption signal, I'll take this inside!
Yes, sir!
Mechandol, sir, another signal is disrupting ours!
It's fine. Show them the power of our scientific progress!
Yes, sir!
It's no use, we can't match their power!
Wh-who are you?!
What's going on?!
Gatchaman?!
Chief Nambu, what on Earth is going on?
That transmission van still doesn't have enough power?
They're being controlled by evil science.
Whatever could it be?
At this rate, the President will be...
I-it's no use.
Unless I kill them, they'll kill the King.
There's no other way to get out of this.
Th-that's it!
Joe is a cyborg!
If I use Joe's energy...
This is the only way. Hang in there, Joe.
Joe! Wake up!
He finally snapped out of it!
Mechandol, sir! An extremely powerful signal has disrupted our own and has completely disabled it!
What?!
Fine, now we've got to bring out the Iron Beast mech.
Send out the Iron Beast mech!
Yes, sir!
Ow, ow... what happened?
Oh, you're all awake!
Now! Smash them to pieces!
Everyone, jump onto that Iron Beast's claws!
Galactor! We won't forgive you for turning people into your robots!
Impertinent fools! Get them!
Owl Screw!
Elle Netter!
Swallow Top!
Damn!
What did you do?!
I opened the valve on the reactor engine!
And I've cut the circuit, so we can't stop it now!
Soon, this Iron Beast mecha will explode!
This whole city will be destroyed!
Dammit!
Joe, we have to stop that reactor!
N-no! We can't stop it once it's been started!
Everyone's gonna die!
The whole city's gonna be wiped out!
Don't panic!
Where is the reactor engine?!
Alright, I'll go in there and force the valve back into place!
Huh?
That's just crazy, Ken!
You'll have to deal with extreme heat and radiation!
You won't last more than 30 seconds, even with your Bird Gear!
If we don't do anything, the whole city is going to be wiped out!
We have to take desperate measures!
Hey, Ken, let me do it.
Joe!
I have a cyborg body.
I can take much more heat than any of you could.
And I can just wash off the radiation later.
Joe! Joe!
Joe, maybe I should...
Don't worry!
Close it!
This must be it.
It's going to explode!
Joe!
Dammit, my left arm isn't working!
Then I have to...
You did it, Joe!
It looks like the show is over!
Thus, the city of New Haven and the President of Tanzania were saved at the last second.
But Galactor will come up with new plans and continue to attack the world.
Keep it up, Gatchaman!
Don't give up, Gatchaman!
In order to build a secret nuclear fuel base in the plains of Africa,
Galactor kills all the animals in the area.
The wild warrior Simba and a warrior lion join forces
to fight hand in hand with the Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"A Warrior's Pride"!
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
