Egobossler's Strategy
The ISO pools all of their resources, pushing forward with their Space Pulse research.
If we keep pushing our Space Pulse research forward,
I know we'll be able to unravel Leader Z's secrets!
However, the results were less than satisfying.
And here we find another person
who has a vested interest in the connection between Leader Z and the Space Pulse.
Your Excellency! Why do you obsess over the Space Pulse?
That is none of your concern.
Do as you are instructed, that is all.
Why? Why do obsess over the Space Pulse?
Why?!
Just then, Chief Nambu receives a report at the headquarters of the ISO.
The report is by an obscure astrophysicist by the name of Schubert,
who describes his own research on the Space Pulse.
"Space Pulse Research Notes, Volume 1," huh?
There are parts of this report that exceed our own research at the ISO.
Daniel Schubert is intent on meeting with you, and has been making frequent trips to Peru recently.
Apparently he has some unique insight on the Space Pulse that he wishes to discuss with you.
Hmm...
But it must be discreet, to avoid detection by Galactor.
All right.
Please contact him immediately.
My name is Yamanobe, I have a reservation on Flight 720.
One moment, please.
You're flying to Peru with a connecting flight in Jamaica, yes?
No, it should be for Rio de Janeiro.
I apologize.
This is the right one. Here you are!
Thank you.
What was he thinking? Going all the way to Rio de Janeiro all alone. It's reckless, I say.
Why didn't you stop him?!
He was afraid Galactor would find him...
I see.
Galactor already recognizes our faces,
and it seems like that report holds some pretty important information.
What'll you do, Gatchaman?
lf I were in the Chief's shoes, I think I would do the same thing.
So we should just let him be then?
I didn't say that.
Then...!
We're going to Rio de Janeiro too!
We are!
We're all going to help the Chief!
What?!
Nambu is on his way to Rio de Janeiro all by himself?
I thought something like this might happen.
I've been casting a wide net by placing my agents at all the major airports and train stations in the world.
It seems that I've just caught the big fish himself. Take a look at the screen.
Is that Nambu, Kempler?
It is. No matter how good his disguise is, he can't change his build or the sound of his voice.
I have no doubt that this is Nambu.
If you take off the hat, you can see that he's changed his hair color, greased it back,
tanned his skin, put on color contact lenses, and even put on a fake beard.
But under it all, he is definitely Nambu.
What business does he have in Rio de Janeiro?
And why's he gone to the trouble of disguising himself?
This would be a perfect opportunity to take care of him for good!
Please, let me take charge of the operation.
No... Nambu is a pretty influential astrophysicist, isn't he?
Before we kill him, there's something I absolutely must speak to him about.
I'm going too, Kempler!
Sir!
We just received information that Nambu called the phone number of a man named Schubert
in Rio de Janeiro during his layover at the Jamaica Airport.
Schubert? Who is that?
We are looking into that now.
What did Nambu and this Schubert person talk about?
It seems they didn't talk at all. The man named Schubert didn't pick up the phone.
Maybe he knows we're on to him.
No, our telephone line detector agents wouldn't make a blunder like that.
Apparently he made several calls to the same number.
First, he called seven times. Then twice more, and then five more times.
What kind of code is that?
We don't know for sure. But we do know that the two of them will definitely meet.
Kempler, Sir! We've just received word from Rio de Janeiro!
It looks like the man named Schubert is an astrophysicist!
What?!
I think I know what's going on here...
Nambu and Schubert must be meeting to discuss the Space Pulse.
Watch, I'm going to set a once-in-a-lifetime trap for our friend Nambu!
All right! Now we follow after him in secret!
Oh, that must be Chief Nambu.
Chief Nambu! Nice to finally meet you-!
Who are you?
...Galactor?
So those are the materials for your Space Pulse research. Hand them over!
N-no! I'm giving these to Dr. Nambu!
Damn it!
The Chief sure has a reckless streak. If that man is working for Galactor, we're really in trouble.
He must be getting desperate when it comes to the Space Pulse!
Be on your guard! Let's split up and investigate the outside of the house.
Don't overlook anything, no matter how small!
Roger!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Would you like a drink?
No, thank you.
I think I'll have some.
Mr. Schubert, you stated in your report that
you were close to unraveling the mystery of Space Pulse AQ3.
I've come here to ask you about the specifics.
Yes, I figured as much.
But before we move onto that,
could you please tell me why you became interested in my research on the Space Pulse?
Of course. I'll just cut to the chase.
You are familiar with the head of Galactor, Leader Z, yes?
Yes...
He has attacked the ISO countless times,
but our Space Pulse research facilities seem to strike a particular nerve in him.
A while back, he attacked the city of Caubella in Russia with a terrible Iron Beast mecha,
and even used electro-magnetic waves to control and incite panic among the townspeople...
The only reason Galactor could possibly have had for attacking such a small, unimportant city...
would be to interfere with the Space Pulse research being carried out there.
It ended in failure on their part, but...
afterwards, Galactor continued to target various Space Pulse research facilities
around the globe for their destructive plot.
Why do you suppose Leader Z is so compelled to interfere with the Space Pulse research?
I would say...
You would say...?
...that if we succeed in our research, Leader Z will fall into very unfortunate circumstances.
For example?
That, I don't know. But what I can say is that the Space Pulse is extremely important to Leader Z.
Which is why we need to continue our research and solve this mystery as quickly as possible.
When we do, we'll discover Leader Z's secrets... and hopefully his weaknesses.
I see. So you'd like my cooperation in this?
Please, please help us...
So whatever solves the Space Pulse mystery will take down Leader Z?
It will!
I was hoping you would say that.
If you and I join forces, Leader Z will cease to be an enemy!
You- who are you?! Why have you changed your face with synthetic membranes...?
Are you truly Daniel Schubert?!
How very like you, Nambu... you figured it out.
I thought I might invite you to my lab to continue researching the Space Pulse...
but something tells me you'll refuse my offer now.
Egobossler, what have you done with Daniel Schubert?
Sorry I have to do this, but...
What are you-!
I need you to sleep for a little while.
Now that I've obtained the Space Pulse data, all that's left to deal with is Leader Z...
They've been in there for a long time.
Ken! Come to the back of the house, quick! We found a body!
What?!
It's Schubert!
What?!
Galactor was a step ahead of us!
The Chief is in danger!
Bird Go!
Chief!
Did you find him?
No, he's not here!
That's not possible! He has to be somewhere on the estate!
Chief! Chief!
Th-the statue of Christ is moving!
What do we do, Ken? At this rate...
What about the Chief?
We need to defeat this thing with the Gatcha Spartan first!
Roger!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan, combination complete!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Gatchaman! This time you're going to lose!
We have Nambu here with us.
If you interfere with our plans, he's dead.
Chief!
Ken, don't worry about me! Fight them...
You understand, right? That as long as you're here they won't attack.
Here, let me give you something exciting to look at!
That's low, Galactor.
Ken! Fight! Fight them!
Damn it!
Come on, Gatchaman!
Egobossler, Sir!
Don't just stand there! Get him!
You're coming with me.
Damn it!
Chief!
Galactor...!
I couldn't snatch Nambu away from you, but I have Daniel's research notes! See you soon, Gatchaman!
Chief, can you walk?
I'm fine.
Crap! They'd better hurry up! That Iron Beast is gonna explode!
"A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves..."
The last line of his research notes.
Daniel Schubert, I wish I had met you when you were alive.
Nambu was spared, but the young, unsung genius would never come home.
The Science Ninja Team's only victory was in that final, mysterious message:
"A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves..."
How is it connected to the Space Pulse?
Egobossler, what's so funny?
It's nothing.
Still, the fact that you lost to Gatchaman in Brazil is pathetic, Egobossler.
Leader Z, I obtained the Space Pulse research materials you're so afraid of.
You won't be able to reprimand me for much longer...
Due to repeated exposure to radiation during his Hyper Shot, Ken's body is steadily deteriorating.
Chief Nambu and Joe the Condor are in shock.
Continued use of the Hyper Shot will surely mean death.
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"The Shadow of Death Approaches G-1"!
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
