Go, go, go Gatchaman
Today, the sky bustles
Today, the Earth bustles
Oh! Gatchaman!
Desperate Fight! Valley of Betrayal
I can't die... until I get to the Science Ninja Team...
Gatchaman, huh?
Turn us around and deliver this to Chief Nambu at the ISO.
But, if we do that...
Nevermind that. Just do as you're ordered!
It's all about using what you've got.
Save the suffering people of Congo from the tyranny of President Nguesso.
We have reason to believe the President is in communication with Egobossler.
Egobossler?
Nguesso may be a dictator, but that has helped bring unity and prosperity to the country.
You're right.
But recently, massive uranium ore deposits were discovered there, the richest in the world.
Uranium ore deposits?!
Uranium is fine when used peacefully, such as in the production of nuclear energy,
but just think of what could happen if it's misused by Egobossler to make nuclear weapons?
This man, Ruhail, wrote down the location of the resistance's secret base in his letter.
Science Ninja Team, move out!
Roger!
Galactor lives up to its reputation. You've brought me an incredible piece of machinery.
If we continue on like this, we'll be able to destroy a country within the next week.
This should accelerate Galactor's world domination quite wonderfully.
And when that day comes, you, President Nguesso will rule over the entire Africa region.
And you'll get a huge amount of money from me
in repayment.
What of the resistance?
We will attack their secret base within the hour.
When the Science Ninja Team come to their rescue, we'll destroy them all at once.
What? Gatchaman?
Yes.
How did they find us here?
You don't think it was a spy, do you?
That's impossible!
Everyone, scatter and get away from here!
Rasheed... instead of splitting up, we should regroup and punch a hole right through them!
That would destroy us all, Riska! We need to run now and regroup later!
This is where the resistance's secret base should be!
Damn it! Were we too late?
Fighter jets incoming at 2 o'clock!
Joe, Ryu, Jinpei: Land here! Jun and I will take care of these guys!
Roger!
We're saved!
Gatchaman!
I see... so Ruhail's letter floated on the wind all the way to the UN.
It's a miracle!
But it was too late...
Too late?
As you can see, our organization took a devastating blow today.
Nguesso's militants are battle-hardened pros from all around the continent.
What can we hope to accomplish against a force like that with so few of us left...?
What are the young people of this country doing?
They've been forced into slave labor, all but the elderly and the women and children.
That's why we can't just throw in the towel yet!
We knew from the beginning that Nguesso's forces were formidable, didn't we?
She's right! And now we are here to help too!
Now that we know Galactor's involved, we can't just sit and watch by the sidelines!
Yeah, yeah!
Ryu's right. Come on, let's slip in among Nguesso's men and see what they're up to.
I think that's our best shot.
Just watch out for General Ghanda.
Ghanda?
He won't rest until he's crushed every resistance effort in the world!
Jun, I need you to take our bracelets for now.
But without them you'll be in danger!
It'll be more dangerous if we wear them.
It's okay, Big Sis. We're just gonna do some reconnaissance and then we'll be right back.
All right. Be careful...
Let's go!
Who goes there?!
Oh, nothing to be suspicious about, Sir.
We heard you're recruiting soldiers so we came.
So you want to join the army, huh? Very admirable!
The four of them have managed to join the army without a hitch.
Well, Nguesso is trying to amass his forces at the border now.
I'm going to use this time to round up our own members!
Rasheed!
Be careful.
You like him, don't you?
A woman's intuition.
He asked me to marry him after the fighting is over.
You're engaged? Congratulations!
Thank you. But...
What is it?
Well, Rasheed has been acting a bit strange lately.
He's been trying to avoid me for some reason.
I'm sure he's just preoccupied by the fighting.
You must fight your hardest, for love as well as justice!
Thanks, Jun.
You should rest for a minute.
I'm sure construction will go fast if they keep working people into the ground like this.
This has to stop.
We need to get closer to Nguesso somehow.
Uh-oh... it's General Ghanda.
Hey! You four recruits!
Recruits? You mean us...?
Yes. I'm reassigning all of you to Gilgis Valley to help with the uranium ore deposits.
Uranium ore...?
What's a machine like this doing here...?
Here, a present from Galactor.
Nguesso!
Joe!
They've received the death penalty?!
H-how were they captured?!
I don't know.
But today at noon there was a notice that they'd been sentenced to death in the Gilgis Valley.
Don't worry, Jun. We'll rescue them.
We will. Come on, let's go get the Science Ninja Team out of there!
Everyone, get ready!
I know a secret route that will take us to the Gilgis Valley.
We should be able to get close to them without being seen by the enemy.
Steady, halt!
The Gilgis Valley is just ahead.
Jun, we'll be in trouble if you're spotted, so could you get out of the mecha?
All right.
Over here!
Resistance fighters, good work! Look over there!
Jun...
Damn it... now this?
Big Sis...
Resistance is futile. Drop your weapons and come out! Your lives will be spared.
It was a trap! But why...?
Who knows... but in any case, we have no chance for victory now.
You can't mean we're surrendering?!
Rasheed...!
Listen to me, Riska. We cannot all die here now.
If we're alive, there's a chance that someday we might assemble a resistance force again.
But if we die here...
Rasheed.
I think Rasheed is right. Let's drop our guns.
What are you all doing? Come on!
You call this a resistance?!
We don't want to die in vain.
So giving your lives to save the Science Ninja Team is useless? Are you even a man at all?
You knew from the beginning that fighting in the resistance might cost you your life!
Riska, it's all right.
B-but...!
Don't die in vain. I know you did your best.
Riska, I'll step out first and talk to them.
Riska!
This man isn't Rasheed...!
Rasheed's only fear was scorpions. There's no way he could have squashed one so easily like that!
I should have known you'd see right through me, Riska.
Ghanda...!
It was a tough job impersonating him... and deceiving you as well.
What have you done with the real Rasheed?
About a month ago, we captured him when he was hiding in the city...
Rasheed is the only one that endured my torture for so long...
It was a pity I had to kill him...
It's 12 o'clock.
Playtime is over! Executioners, come forward!
Elle Netter!
Fire! Fire!
Let's go!
Fire! Fire!
Jun!
Don't you dare die on us!
Come on, Jun!
Big Sis!
Elle Netter!
It's no use, there are too many of them. At this rate we're...!
Jun!
Riska!
Let's get you out of here!
Ken!
Jun!
Your bracelets!
Bird Go!
Let's go!
I'll burn you all to a crisp with my Iron Beast Gazooba!
Riska! Evacuate everyone to the cliffs!
Got it!
Jun!
You think you can hide from me?
Gatchaman Fencer!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Nguesso! In the name of heaven, I will slice your evil roots from this world!
You impudent...!
Riska...
It's all right. Rasheed still lives within my heart...
He always said not to look back on the sorrows of the past.
That those tears become the strength that helps us fight again...
That's why I must live on. To build a new nation, together with him...
Riska!
Battle can sometimes turn love into tragedy.
But though love may fall, it will never disappear.
It becomes the light that connects our hearts together.
Gatchaman, Science Ninja Team, people touched by love, you must fight on for tomorrow!
Galactor conceals their secret weapon against the UN's phaser tanks,
a cyborg called Salam, enhanced by Marstora himself.
But his sister is none other than Sarah,
a nun who prays for the Science Ninja Team's divine protection.
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Cruelty! The Separation of Brother and Sister"!
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
