The Shadow of Death Approaches G-1
"A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves."
Sounds a lot like "Snow White."
What in the world does it mean?
Chief Nambu studies the final page of the late Daniel Schubert's Space Pulse report,
attempting to flesh out its missing contents with various computer algorithms.
What was Daniel grasping for in his writings?
On the other side, Count Egobossler, who holds the bulk of the report,
is unable to grasp the core of the Space Pulse Mystery without the last page.
lnsufficient data. Cannot be analyzed.
Damn it! Not now, when I'm so close I can taste it!
Kempler! Restart the program from the beginning!
Sir! We've already run the program a hundred-something times!
Don't give up! We can't overlook even the smallest clue if we're going to solve this!
Yes, Sir!
If even Egobossler is searching for the truth behind the Space Pulse...
my authority could collapse at any time.
What's going on?
I don't know! The computer's shorted out!
Egobossler! Enough of your useless scheming!
What are you...!
Your Excellency! What are you doing?!
What will you gain by this research?
If you have that much spare time,
why don't you devise a new plan to get rid of Nambu and Gatchaman!
Having your connection with the Space Pulse exposed
seems like it would be highly inconvenient for you!
Fool... you feeble-minded humans are incapable of comprehending my grand plan.
What! What is this grand plan of yours?
Shut up and watch...
Wh-what is this...?
Deep in space, about 100 million kilometers past the North Star,
I have seven different space stations building an antimatter planetoid.
An antimatter planetoid?
Yes. The Space Pulse you wanted so much to know about is an energy wave
that's released as a byproduct of the antimatter construction.
I have been obtaining that energy and harnessing it for information analysis and weaponry!
I thought it might be something of that nature...
But why in the world would you construct something like this?
To crash my antimatter planetoid into the Earth!
What?!
Its destructive power is 150 times stronger than nuclear fission.
The Earth will be blasted away, reduced to atoms!
That would be violating our arrangement, Your Excellency!
What violation is that?
Going behind my back, secretly building a monstrosity like this!
And on top of that, plotting to destroy the Earth with it!
At the dawn of Galactor's world domination, I would become its great leader!
Is that not what you promised?!
Which one of us was secretly plotting behind the other's back, really-
What are you saying?
You're not even the real Count Egobossler.
You knew it would be bad if I or the family found out about you, so you shoved it all under the rug!
Your Excellency! You can't tell the family about me!
I know that.
I won't abandon you or the family. That is why I built the underground city, Gallatown!
I can control the antimatter planetoid.
Even a shallow sweep across the Earth will scorch the planet's surface.
However, it won't be enough to reach Gallatown.
You can put your mind at ease, Egobossler.
Damn... I couldn't beat him. Leader Z will just continue to use me like his slave...
Before I attack, there's something I need you to do.
You must defeat Nambu as quickly as possible!
I doubt you'll do anything stupid, but it is vital that my plan remains a secret.
So Nambu is more of a threat than Gatchaman now, I see.
All right!
I'll destroy Nambu as well as the Space Pulse research data they are undoubtedly studying now.
Don't make any mistakes this time.
Fool... my true goal is the total destruction of Earth.
I won't rest until it's done.
"A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves."
We still don't know what it means,
but if we look at Galactor's destructive plots until now,
atomic explosions deep in the Earth, the solar shift... there's a pattern to it all.
We can assume their plans this time will rival those that came before.
Chief! Computer F is displaying a solution!
What?!
It's the predicted solution to the sentence,
"A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves" in Dr. Daniel Schubert's report.
The meaning of "A poisoned apple and the seven dwarves" is unknown.
100 million kilometers past the North Star, a huge energy source appeared in space.
It is likely that Space Pulse AQ3 is coming from that source.
So it's true.
Leader Z has something to do with this massive energy source in space,
and the Space Pulse AQ3 is some kind of intermediary between them.
Chief! If we can decode the AQ3, maybe we can find out more about their relationship!
Yes, but decoding the Space Pulse is next to impossible...
Chief Nambu! Chief Nambu!
You're needed in the command room immediately!
Chief! There's an object bearing in from 2 o'clock, 38 degrees on the radar.
It may be one of Galactor's Iron Beasts.
What?!
Put the UN troops on defense and evacuate the townspeople!
Yes, sir!
Science Ninja Team! Deploy immediately!
It looks like a Galactor Iron Beast is making its way
straight for the ISO headquarters from underground.
Roger! We'll head there right away!
Damn it! Don't these guys ever learn? Appearing in New York again...
Commence attack immediately!
Roger!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Gatchaman Killer Technique: Lightning Slash!
Another Iron Beast just came out of the old one!
Damn! I'll wipe it out in one strike with my Hyper Shot. Ryu, let's do it!
Roger!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Joe! Something's wrong with Ken!
Ryu! What did you do?! The Hyper Shot isn't working!
I don't know! The gauge is functioning normally!
Ken! What happened out there?
I don't know! How did it fail?
According to my instruments there was nothing faulty!
You must be exhausted, Ken!
What if... no, as long as this isn't a prelude to something worse...
Chief! Galactor soldiers incoming on the 8th and 11th floors!
What?!
Put up a blockade in the most important areas. Quickly!
Yes, Sir.
Chief, the electrical circuits between the Data Analysis Room
and this Command Room have already been cut!
What...? Everyone, grab a gun and counter-attack!
What are we doing? We need to protect the headquarters!
Ken...!
Chief Nambu... just accept it!
I'm going to send you straight to hell!
Egobossler...
I may not have a license, but I do have these lead bullets. Here, have some!
Damn you, Science Ninja Team! Get them!
Everyone! Rescuing the Chief is our top priority!
Roger!
Elle Netter!
All right!
Now's our chance!
After them! Follow them now! Kill them all!
The power's been cut to all of the elevators and escalators.
They couldn't have gone much further than this floor! Find them!
It seems Galactor's current goal is to eliminate me and dispose of all the Space Pulse research data.
I'm sorry, Chief. If I hadn't muddled my Hyper Shot attack, none of this would have happened.
What?! Your Hyper Shot failed?
The Gatcha Spartan's instruments were in working order.
Hmm... I see.
Ryu! Bring the Gatcha Spartan's recording device to my research lab. It's urgent!
Roger!
The rest of you, do something about the Iron Beast mecha grappling on to this building!
You got it!
Wait!
Ken, you stay here.
What? Why?!
Why do you think? To guard the Chief!
This shaft should lead us straight to my research lab.
Jun! Jinpei! Change into their uniforms! Quickly!
Nice job, Ryu!
How did the rest of the building look?
The staff who took guns with them are fighting hard.
The Command Room and the Computer Room have been completely destroyed.
This could end really badly if we don't run them out soon!
Ken! Take care of the Chief!
Chief! We don't have time for that right now!
I need to get you somewhere safe as soon as possible!
Hmm... the generator and other equipment do seem to be functioning normally.
I don't see any damage to the Gatcha Spartan!
Chief!
Gatchaman! I need to look at your G-Suit. Lay down on the bed!
What are you thinking at a time like this, Chief?!
The Hyper Shot is your ultimate weapon.
If something is wrong, it needs to be checked out first and foremost!
Even if we are in the midst of battle!
We came to pick up some bazookas on Count Egobossler's order.
All right! Take out the bazookas!
Oh, you look like you've got your hands full. We'll carry the bazookas ourselves!
Thanks! Sorry about that. The bazookas are in the last ammunition hold.
Got it.
Thanks!
How kind of you.
What's up with him? His voice sounds like a girl!
Ken! Are you in pain?
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Gatchaman's special move, the Science Ninja Technique "Hyper Shot,"
pushes the Gatcha Spartan's generator to the red zone.
A high energy force is expelled from the G-1 mecha to the Gatchaman Fencer,
using Ken's G-Suit as a medium, wherein Ken himself becomes a fireball that can penetrate steel.
However, the only body capable of withstanding this belongs to Ken,
who has undergone special training and possesses superior physical strength.
No... his cell functions are deteriorating, all throughout his body...
How could this happen? If his cells cease to function...
If I let him go on like this...
...Gatchaman will die!
How is it, Chief?
Will I not be able to use the Hyper Shot anymore?
No, not necessarily... However...
It's still faint, but the cells in your body are starting to deteriorate.
I'll need to give you a thorough examination.
I can take it, Chief. Just tell me what's really going on.
Ken! Why are you always so...
Chief Nambu! So this is where you've been hiding!
Oh, it's Gatchaman! You look awfully tired.
Just as well! I can finish the both of you!
Egobossler!
Who do you think you are, barging into the ISO uninvited!
I'll make sure you can never do something like this again!
Don't be so sure...
Wh-what the...?
Egobossler, Sir! The Iron Beast! We must get back!
Damn it! How could this have happened?
Stop! Egobossler!
Wait!
Ken! Hold on now.
Let me go! I'm going to finish him!
Stop! We planted explosives in the Iron Beast! It's about to explode!
Damn it! They defeated me again... curse you, Gatchaman!
And so the battle ended.
However, the Command Room, along with many of the other facilities
holding important data at the ISO were destroyed by Galactor.
Chief Nambu lost almost everything...
Gatchaman's life expectancy worried him the most of all.
But no one, not even Jun could see the shadow of death slowly creeping over them.
Ken... I thought it couldn't be true...
Why did this have to happen to you too...?
Why...? Why?!
Joe fights the feelings of regret inside himself when he discovers Ken's sudden ailment.
How could they have let Ken perform such a dangerous ninja technique, instead of him?
In order to keep Ken alive, will the team have to stop using the Hyper Shot for good?
