The Mystery of Egobossler's Birth
Look what you made me do.
What do you mean by "unconfirmed"?!
I apologize, Sir! But, well, she was gravely injured and fell into the ravine-
Idiot!
I can't believe you couldn't manage to kill them all.
Repeat the orders you were given, Chief!
Yes, Sir!
I was to kill every refugee in Satanhofen, Sir!
Yet you were unable to carry out those orders.
I'm sure you're aware of the consequences.
If by some chance Zelda did survive...
No! My past, that not even my family knows about...
No one, no one can know the truth!
Kempler! I'm going out.
Where to, Sir?
It doesn't matter! Begin preparations immediately!
Yes, Sir!
Has there been any change? We remain undiscovered?
Long time no see.
What are you doing here, Elun?
Why, I've come to visit you, of course.
What? You no longer wish to see my face? Hm?
You bastard...!
I had a strange feeling before coming today, but it looks like you've still got some spark left.
How long do you intend to keep me locked up here?
E-Elun, Devil's Child... the Rhine River...
the castle upstream... E-Egobossler...
Everyone, it's just as you heard.
Chief Nambu, what was that woman trying to say?
I don't know.
But what I do know for certain is that this woman, Zelda,
is holding on to a secret of great importance concerning Egobossler.
The Devil Child, Elun, the castle on the Rhine River, and Egobossler.
She left behind these three clues before falling into a coma.
What's her condition now? Do they think she'll recover?
The doctors are doing everything they can, but we can't know for certain.
Damn it.
If she could at least regain consciousness we might find out something more about these clues!
The Rhine River flows across a wide area of land,
and there are a bunch of similar-looking castles dotted all along it.
Tedious as it sounds, l think we need to check out each and every one of them, Ken.
All right! Team, move out!
Roger!
It pleases me to see you so alive.
I refuse to die! Mark my words, I will survive and avenge our Father,
I will reclaim my position, Egobossler!
Or you can stay here and kneel before me just like that!
Damn you! You fiend!
You could never understand the way my mother felt!
You and our father never looked at us with anything but scorn and disdain.
Like we were some filthy garbage.
I'll never forget those days! The disgrace I felt, my mother's pain!
That night, there was a storm just like this one...
Idiot!
Why do you think I put you and Kassel together?
Thankfully it wasn't serious,
but if anything ever were to happen to Kassel I'd tear you limb from limb!
My Lord!
How dare you look at me that way, Elun!
B-but...!
Master Elun.
E-Elun!
M-mother...!
Please forgive him, my Lord!
M-Margot!
Elun, put your hands together and ask his Lordship for forgiveness!
Margot, your lack of discipline with the boy has led this to happen!
You forget your place here and the debt you owe me for allowing you to stay in this castle.
S-stay strong, please stay strong, Elun...!
Why, Mother? Why does it have to be this way for us?
Elun, f-forgive me... there's something I must tell you.
M-mother, please, rest for now.
P-please, listen to me, Elun.
I've kept this hidden from you for a long time, but...
your father... he didn't die.
Wh-what did you say?
Please don't be angry with me. Your father is...
...Lord Egobossler.
What?!
Elun, my poor, sweet Elun. Forgive your mother...
Mother.
Elun, don't resent His Lordship.
Don't hate your father or Kassel.
Mother!
Promise me, Elun!
I will... I promise, mother. Just rest, no more talking.
Elun... my Elun...!
Mother...?
Mother!
Mother...!
Your name came up at the meeting with the Board of Directors today.
It did?
Yes, we were discussing your future.
You can do as you please while you're young.
You'll make some mistakes, I'm sure. The mistakes of youth... but I'm getting old, you see.
It may soon be time for me to give up my seat.
Father!
You'll have to grow up a lot in two or three more years. A lot, my son.
Yes, Father!
Who are you?
It's me, Father...
Father...?!
Wh-what do you-?
Father... have you forgotten?
It's me, your son.
What?
Elun? It's you, isn't it!
Father!
Elun! What do you think you're doing?
This is no place for you. Get out!
Father, my mother is calling for you...
My mother wants to see you...
Margot? That woman should be long dead by now!
Now don't just stand there, get out!
Didn't you hear me? My mother is calling for you. Go to her!
What...?!
Wh-what is the meaning of this, Elun?
There's no point in threatening me with that! Get out of here this instant!
Father!
Mother troubled her heart over the likes of you once...
Now you can be with her again.
Damn you! How, how could you?
Elun, your face! Don't tell me you...
Yes, I underwent cosmetic surgery.
I've decided to take your identity, your position, and your power, all for myself.
And you're going to watch every inch of my rise to power from right here.
Damn it! You devil!
Devil... the Devil's Child, Elun...!
Mother... tomorrow I'll succeed Father as the next Count Egobossler at Satanhofen.
Someday they'll call me the Devil's Child.
Like I care...!
Like I care!
I'll... I'll gladly be a child of the devil!
I won't let you keep doing as you please!
My brother...
at Satanhofen, I took the Egobossler name, rank, and power in your place...
And now l've become the next leader of Galactor with more power than anyone else on this Earth!
One day your secret will be exposed!
I've already taken care of that. All that's left now is Zelda,
and it's only a matter of time before she's gone.
What? Gatchaman?!
What was that? Ryu, magnify the screen!
Roger!
It must be a Galactor stealth submarine!
That must mean this is the castle Zelda spoke of.
Damn it, Gatchaman!
Egobossler.
Leader Z!
Leave this to me. Do what you came here to do!
Your Excellency, you knew?!
What I wish is for a strong Galactor!
Right now there is no one better suited than you...
Ken, what do you say we invite our friends outside?
Let's do it!
Looks like they've answered our invitation.
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
What is that?
Where is he?!
They've vanished!
Ken...!
Where did they go?
Damn it... what the hell just happened?
Damn it!
Come on!
There!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Team, I have some sad news...
Zelda has just passed away.
No... damn it!
The Devil's Child, Elun... what was Zelda trying to tell us?
I don't know... but we should all pray for her happiness in the next world.
I need to keep you alive just a bit longer...
Your body might still come in handy as my substitute one day!
Though they were victorious, the unsolved mystery of Egobossler's birth
still shakes the hearts of the Science Ninja Team.
What was Zelda trying to tell them?
Who is Elun, the Devil's Child?
The Rhine River flows onward today, hiding its secrets within.
Until love and peace are returned to this world, rise up! Fight on, Science Ninja Team!
Aiming to produce nuclear weapons,
Galactor has gotten their hands on the world's purest uranium ore supply.
The young guerilla fighter, Rasheed and his lover, Riska put up a fight against them.
But the Science Ninja Team witnesses a betrayal
that thrusts them from paradise into the deepest depths of hell.
