Oh! Gatchaman!
Collapse! Gatchaman Base
I'm sorry, Ken, as a father, to have to leave you like this... Stay healthy. Be strong.
Father!
Farewell, Ken!
Father!
Ken!
Father...
You're finished, Ken.
Chief. How is it? How is my body?
Thanks to the Neo Bioreactor, it looks like we're able to keep your cell deterioration under control.
But as to how long the effects will last...
If the level of deterioration gets any worse, it'll tear Ken's body apart.
If possible, I'd like to place you on medical leave.
Chief! We can't afford to postpone our investigation of the Space Pulse any longer!
You're right.
At a time like this, how could you think to put me, the leader of the Science Ninja Team, on leave?
Ken, you should believe in your friends more! They'll fight hard for you.
I won't do it!
To find the truth of the Space Pulse, we'll have to get close to Leader Z.
I don't want to rest until we do.
During the examination, I had a dream about my father.
I risked my life to save the people of this world!
I'm my father's child... I don't want him to ridicule me!
Ken!
You and my father were best friends! And I've always thought of you like a father!
A father should tell his son to sacrifice his life if it's for the good of the world!
Come with me. I have something to show you.
I'm sorry!
Oh, it's all right.
It's vital that we search for the truth of the Space Pulse,
but finding Galactor's home base is equally important.
For this purpose, I'm currently reconfiguring an existing resource observation satellite.
By resource observation satellite,
do you mean one of those probes that looks for things like oil and uranium underground?
Exactly. With this, we can use electromagnetic waves
to search a few dozen kilometers beneath the Earth's surface.
I see...
We know for certain Galactor has been operating underground ever since they left Satanhofen.
If we use this, we'll soon be able to discover the location of Galactor's home base.
Yes! And when the time comes, we'll smoke the monsters out of their den.
Ken... why did Chief Nambu call for you?
Oh jeez, it was just a check-up.
How were the results, Ken?
Nothing out of the ordinary.
That's good to hear, Ken.
I thought it would be about another important mission!
I'm curious about Galactor's movements.
Ken! Are you really going to be all right?
You worry too much, Engineer Kamo!
Ken, what happened here?
Oh, I accidentally ran into a nurse carrying a flower vase. It must have gotten me a little dirty.
What's this powder...?
Sir! How long do you intend to allow Kempler to hold on to the family's power like this?
And the tiny food rations for the soldiers! Even the wine you love to drink is almost gone, Sir.
I know! We'll wait until the time is ripe.
Sir! Operation Flower Vase was a success.
Excellent! You've done it, SP-2.
Yes, Sir. I'll be waiting for my next orders.
All right! Don't let your eyes off of Nambu!
Yes, Sir! Understood.
Mechandol, I'll show you my true strength.
Watch carefully. Right there... is Gatchaman Base.
Using the latest antenna technology, I've been able to track them straight to the location!
Antenna technology?
Yes! It's a minute iron particle that appears to be nothing but dirt or sand.
If we can crush Gatchaman Base,
they'll no longer have the Gatcha Spartan and won't be able to fight!
You... have a point. When did you even come up with...?
Now, however shall we carry out the raid? Procure an Iron Beast from Leader Z right away!
Yes, Sir!
By the way, what can you tell me about Egobossler and Mechandol's whereabouts?
Sir, we still haven't been able to locate them.
What? I thought I ordered you to find and execute them a long time ago!
Y-You did, Sir.
I believe the reason is that it has yet to go through the required chain of command.
What?! What do you mean?
There are still those who are loyal to Egobossler among our ranks.
What idiocy! Egobossler and Mechandol are now Galactor's enemies!
If we don't stand unified and put full effort into the fight with Gatchaman,
it'll be the downfall of this family!
I am the leader of Galactor! Those who disobey my orders will be executed!
Understood. I'll relay the order to my subordinates immediately!
I see. Understood!
Your Excellency, battle preparations are all in order!
All right! Dispatch all units at once!
Sir!
Chief! The resource observation satellite has just sent a completely new type of report!
What is it?
Please, have a look.
Is that...
Chief! What in the world is that?!
A huge number of Galactor soldiers must be moving through their underground tunnels.
At any rate, we've done well to catch them! Can you tell how deep underground that point is?
Yes, Sir! It comes up on this computer screen!
Hmm, an average depth of 1 .6 kilometers. All right. Please investigate their point of origin immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Once we have that, we'll be able to locate Galactor's home base!
Chief! It may be because the satellite is still being reconfigured,
but we're unable to locate the point of origin.
However, we have been able to approximate it to a likely area.
Team! We've managed to detect Galactor's underground movements
with the resource observation satellite currently under reconfiguration.
From this we've gathered that a huge enemy force is now dispersing
throughout the entire continent of Europe.
What's their point of origin?!
Ken, why do you want to know the point of origin?
Because that's definitely where we'll find their home base!
I see.
Regretfully, we still can't determine the exact location. However, we do have a good guess.
It's on the Dameel Peninsula in Northern Liberia,
latitude 70 degrees north, longitude 90 degrees west, 45 minutes.
Understood! The Science Ninja Team will leave immediately.
Wait, Ken!
O-oh, Ken... don't overdo it.
No! The moment we discover that base I'm going to give those bastards a thorough crushing! Move out!
Roger!
The symptoms of cellular deterioration are returning.
What? Well then...!
Engineer Kamo, it's no use trying to stop him.
I just hope nothing happens to him...
B-But... Ken!
He's a lot like his father... once he makes a decision, he won't listen to anyone else.
What? Kempler's launching a general assault?!
And on top of that, it seems the members of Gatchaman have noticed.
That imbecile, Kempler! Shifting his focus to Europe now will amount to nothing!
No need to worry. Gatchaman doesn't have the skills to find the Gallatown I created.
But you will attack Gatchaman Base before they even have a chance!
Leave it to me.
Engineer Kamo!
About the pollen you gave me. It's clearly not an organic particle, but an artificially created one.
What?
Additionally, each singular particle is releasing an unbelievably powerful electromagnetic wave!
Y-You don't think... this is...
What's going on?!
There's an airborne vessel approaching this way!
Switch to video!
It's an Iron Beast! Galactor!
Could it know where our base is...?
Damn it! So they were able to track us here!
It's right around here! All right, launch the subterranean torpedoes!
Yes, Sir! Launching subterranean torpedoes!
Sir!
We're being attacked!
Contact Chief Nambu immediately!
Y-Yes, Sir!
What? Gatchaman Base?!
We're countering now, but Galactor is attacking with powerful subterranean torpedoes!
Engineer Kamo. What's going on, Engineer Kamo?!
I can't call the Science Ninja Team back...
I need them to follow through with the assault on Galactor's home base.
UN Troops, 7th Unit. 7th Unit, commence emergency deployment! I'll be taking command!
Damn it! I will protect this base if it's the last thing l do!
Losing Gatchaman Base would be the Science Ninja Team's greatest downfall. We must protect it.
Emergency message to Gatchaman! This is ISO Headquarters.
Gatchaman Base is under attack by Galactor!
What?!
You're joking!
It's true. The location has been discovered and is now being attacked by an Iron Beast.
We have to go back, quick!
UN troops have been dispatched under Chief Nambu's command.
Damn it... It must have been a trap! Hurry!
Roger!
This is the end of Gatchaman Base.
Sir! A battalion of fighter jets is approaching!
No matter! Crush them all!
All units, disperse and commence attack!
Is that...! Engineer Kamo... so Gatchaman Base has fallen.
Sir, Chief Nambu has taken command of the 7th Unit.
What? Nambu?
SP-2, you did well to inform me. Now, let's capture him alive.
What's going on?
We're being drawn in by the beam! I can't steer us!
You escape now!
I can't do that, Chief!
Don't worry about me! Eject now, that's an order!
U-Understood, Sir.
I'll charge right into the belly of the beast!
Chief!
Ch-Chief!
Chief!
Chief Nambu!
Your Gatchaman Base has collapsed and now you're my prisoner. Oh my, how you have fallen.
I still have the Science Ninja Team. This match isn't over as long as Gatchaman still lives!
After losing their home base and their commander,
it's only a matter of time before the Science Ninja Team are defeated.
Mechandol, the time has come. We return to Gallatown!
Y-you mean...!
Not to worry! I located the Gatchaman Base,
brought it to shambles, and even captured Chief Nambu as my prisoner.
Mechandol, this was a marvelous feat! We return proud and confident!
Y-yes, Sir!
I'll outwit that Kempler and his elders!
I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough...
This isn't your fault, Engineer Kamo!
She's right! We should be thinking about how to rescue Chief Nambu right now, Engineer Kamo.
You say that, but how do we even know where to start?!
Damn it! How could we let them take the Chief?!
No. The Chief let them take him prisoner.
What did you say?
To find the truth of the Space Pulse, we'll have to get close to Leader Z.
The Chief went to investigate the Space Pulse's target, knowing he might be killed in the process.
Gatchaman... the Chief was worried about you.
About me?! I see. I won't let myself die yet. Not until I rescue the Chief!
Let's go!
Roger!
Gatchaman flies towards their greatest crisis yet.
The Gatchaman Base has fallen,
Chief Nambu has been taken prisoner, and once again the shadow of death silently looms over Ken.
After risking his life to board the Iron Beast mecha,
Chief Nambu finally discovers the truth about the Space Pulse.
He is shocked and astonished to find that its true form is an antimatter planetoid.
But soon after, Egobossler points a gun to his head!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"The Death of Chief Nambu"!
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

The morning sun is a splendid match
