Today, the sky bustles
Today, the Earth bustles
Oh! Gatchaman!
A man with passion for love and justice
A man who will always protect this world
His name is Gatchaman
Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman Fighter GO!
Take to the skies, run along the Earth,
Swim the seas
Enable the road to peaceful life
Call forth the Gatcha Spartan
Help us restore our peace
Go, go, go Gatchaman
Today, the sky bustles
Today, the Earth bustles
Oh! Gatchaman!
Revive, Gatchaman
Gatchaman dismisses his cellular deterioration, choosing to fight Galactor to the bitter end.
However, repeated use of the Science Ninja Technique Hyper Shot further weakens his body.
This is a color display of how his cellular deterioration measured last time.
The red areas have been completely destroyed, the purple areas are getting progressively worse,
and the yellow areas are still normal.
I'll add the data from the last battle to this predictive chart.
This is what we predict will happen from here on out.
Ken... you've fought so hard for such a long time...
But it seems the time has come for us to make a decision.
Chief! How are the results?
This is your body.
Ken, I'm giving you an order as Chief of the ISO.
Starting today, you are discharged from the Science Ninja Team.
What?
I'll let you know which post you're being transferred to at a later date.
Until then, please rest.
Chief! Can't we just bite the bullet and try cell restoration?!
Cell restoration...?
There must be some way to revive my cells! If we can do that, then I can still fight! Please!
Everyone is afraid of death, including me!
But I'm more afraid of things going Galactor's way!
Ken...
If you won't permit me to try, then I'll figure it out on my own.
Maybe the Human Body Engineering Research Institute will have some ideas.
I'll use the vacation time you gave me to go there.
Wait, Ken!
I'll go to the research institute.
I'm the one who turned you into Gatchaman.
The responsibility is mine and mine alone. Maybe right now my duty should be to help you.
Chief...
But I want you to remain here. The progression of your cellular deterioration will slow down if you rest.
Save the fighting for after your cells have healed, okay?
But this is my problem.
This isn't just about you.
If you don't follow the Chief's orders we'll remove you as our leader.
Every soldier needs to rest and relax.
You guys...
We came because we were worried, and we ended up overhearing...
Ken, you need to rest.
Please take care of Ken. I'm going to leave immediately.
Who's going to escort you?!
I'll go.
Wait, let Jun go.
She just wants to do what she can to help Ken.
Strange... Why was Gatchaman acting on his own?
He appeared out of nowhere that day... Our plan didn't purposefully keep him away,
and he definitely didn't know about our plan in advance...
But I don't think him showing up was part of their plan.
Why...? It doesn't make sense!
That's right! That day...
I see... I see now...
He doesn't have sufficient strength to fight anymore!
Sir!
They're on the move!
What?!
Okay. Thank you.
I have some good news. The research institute is developing a cellular activity device.
What? So they can return Ken's body to the way it was?!
We can't say for sure yet, but they've promised to give us their full cooperation.
We have no choice but to trust them.
Yes...
This was taken in sector F-37.
Zoom in on the cockpit!
Yes, Sir!
Well! I never thought I'd see Nambu leave the ISO with only one escort!
Sir, this would be the perfect opportunity to take him out!
Hmm... Pity Gatchaman is useless to him right now too.
What do you mean "Gatchaman is useless"?
Depart immediately and get rid of Nambu!
Yes, Sir!
So this is the new Neo Bioreactor, huh?
Yes.
The device is programmed with comprehensive anatomical data from a variety of human samples.
Will it work for Ken as well?
Why don't we perform a trial with the cell sample that you brought?
This is the cell's current activity line. There is hardly any indication of life.
All right, start it up!
Yes, Sir.
That's just the initial response. The real result comes afterwards.
Ken...
It's no use... I'm done for...
Die!
Ken!
Why did you give up without a fight?
There's nothing more cowardly than giving up on life!
I won't let you die meaninglessly! If we die, we die together!
You must live, Ken...! Live!
It's a success! It is possible to revive Gatchaman's cellular activity!
Chief!
We should hurry. We need to treat him with the magnetic beam as quickly as possible,
before his cells have a chance to deteriorate any further.
Fire! Fire!
The treatment won't be possible here! Let's take the beam nozzle to headquarters!
Thank you.
Joe, please respond! Joe...! Ryu! Jinpei!
I can't reach them either! They must have jammed the radio signals in the vicinity!
I have the device. Now let's get out of here!
Their target is me. Jun, guard this man and return to headquarters!
Chief!
We'll hold them off here as best as we can.
Ken's life is depending on this! Go, go now!
Chief...
Quickly now!
Yes, Sir!
Chief, at least take this...
Thanks.
We can escape to the interior garden through here!
All right!
I'm counting on you, Jun...!
Chief!
Leave this to me and get out of here!
Yes, Sir!
Chief, please stay safe...
Jun, I'm counting on you...
Mechandol, Sir! Nambu isn't on that aircraft.
The one who escaped is part of the Science Ninja Team!
Aha! This just keeps getting better and better!
Let's go!
Joe! Please respond, Joe!
This is Joe!
I got through!
Understood! We'll head out now!
Ken, wait!
You promised you wouldn't fight! Your cells will deteriorate even further if you're active!
I can't just sit around! How can I stay here while Galactor is attacking the Chief?!
Ken, wait!
Stop him!
How can you call yourself a level-headed leader?
Who do you think the Chief is out there fighting for right now?!
Ken, he's doing this for you! He wants you to live!
And you repay him by taking actions that will shorten your life instead?
You're a fool! A stupid fool...!
Who was it that told me there's nothing more cowardly than giving up on life?
"I won't let you die meaninglessly!"
"If we die, we die together!"
You said those things... all of them, Ken...
Jun...
I'm sorry.
I hate seeing you give up, Ken...
Thank you...
All of you...
How can it take this long just to kill one measly person?!
Chief! This way!
Out of bullets...
Damn you, impertinent little...!
There! Attack them all together!
Do you have any more ammo?!
No. Do you have any more ammo?!
Surrender now and say your last prayers...
Your play time is over!
Panthegron!
My Iron Beast Panthegron is about to escort you to hell!
Damn you!
Oh crap!
I need to calculate the optimal level for the beam's contact with Ken's cells.
Please input the data as accurately as you can...
I will.
Joe... Jun... Jinpei, Ryu...
Give it your all, everyone.
Now! Aim for its stomach!
Yeah!
Wh-what?! It healed itself...!
Panthegron isn't just your average Iron Beast!
Get them!
Big Sis!
Without Ken here... it's up to me to finish this, no matter what it takes!
Let's begin.
I'll try a close-range attack...
Now's my chance!
Damn it! That didn't work either!
Without the Hyper Shot your resistance is futile!
Everyone, I need you to cover me!
Joe! What do you think you're doing?!
I'm going to hit that thing in the chest as hard as I can and set off an energy explosion!
Joe, that's crazy!
Enough of this nonsense, Joe!
Big Bro!
If I die now, I won't have any regrets.
Big Bro...
Joe...
Bastard!
All units, combine!
Ken!
Big Bro!
Gatchaman!
Damn you, Gatchaman! You're still going strong?!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan, combination complete!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
This thing can't be defeated by any normal means.
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Damn you! I almost had you!
God damn it!
Thanks to the efforts of Chief Nambu and the Science Ninja Team,
Ken was reborn like a phoenix from the ashes.
However, Ken's cells still haven't completely returned to normal.
The Neo Bioreactor device is still in mid-development.
There is no guarantee that one day Ken's cells won't relapse and begin to deteriorate once more.
But the Science Ninja Team's determination has never been stronger.
Now is the time to track down Galactor!
Fight on, Gatchaman! To take back world peace!
Galactor's home base lies in the North of Liberia.
The Science Ninja Team investigates immediately!
But after a surprise ambush,
Jinpei, Camilla, a girl of the Dameel tribe, and her dog, Zack, are chased into a ravine!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Bracelet of Friendship"!
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
