Oh! Gatchaman!
Threat of the Antimatter Planet
The true purpose of the Space Pulse, which Chief Nambu sacrificed his life to discover,
was a terrifying antimatter planetoid
which packed an explosive punch over 100 times more powerful per kilogram than a hydrogen bomb.
Guided by Leader Z, the planetoid passed into our solar system,
where Gatchaman used his do-or-die Ultra Hyper Shot to blow it up,
though doing so accelerated his cellular deterioration.
However, fragments of the planetoid fell through the atmosphere and down to the Earth's surface,
where they began to cause strange occurrences throughout the globe.
Whoa, the sky looks like it's on fire!
Maybe it's some kind of bad omen!
The omens appeared one after another, escalating the tension among the people,
and even causing strange behavioral changes in the animals.
Meanwhile, the Gatchaman team returns from the outer atmosphere down to the space observatory,
where they carefully plan out their next move.
However...
Damn that Leader Z!
We blow up his antimatter planetoid,
but now its fragments rain down on Earth and cause natural disasters?!
Leader Z outwitted us.
If we had known, we could have used a different tactic to destroy the planetoid...
At that moment, what other choice did we have?!
He's right. This isn't like you, Joe.
We have you all to thank for stopping the antimatter planetoid
from crashing right into Earth!
I know. I'm not trying to blame Ken for any of this.
It just sickens me that we were outwitted by Leader Z!
Due to a disturbance in the ionosphere caused by the antimatter fragments,
the Earth's radar, communications equipment, and even computers began to go haywire.
Satellites began to break their orbit and crash down to the Earth.
Among them, even unrecoverable nuclear satellites crash-landed,
bringing about mass destruction in their wake.
Gatchaman!
According to this report, an unrecoverable nuclear satellite has crash-landed in India.
What?!
What?
What's the damage?
We're not sure of the details due to the poor reception,
but it seems the capital city, New Delhi has been destroyed.
Destroyed...
Damn it!
It's our fault for launching dangerous stuff like that up there and just ignoring it!
Additionally, although communication with other nations is still poor,
we are still receiving many reports of damage.
What kind of damage?
In many areas, falling bits of antimatter, earthquakes, as well as tsunamis, Sir.
The rain of antimatter planetoid fragments destroyed cities
and caused natural disasters all over the world.
Meanwhile in America, a strange sandstorm blows through the Grand Canyon.
Whoa! It looks like the end of the world out there.
You don't think that could actually happen, do you?
No way! The promise between Lord Egobossler and Leader Z is absolute!
True, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to build Gallatown,
even if it did get destroyed by Gatchaman.
Right! I heard a rumor that Leader Z plans to only let us soldiers survive,
and that right now he's building a second Gallatown for us somewhere.
If so, these natural disasters are really the beginning of a new tomorrow for us!
What Leader Z is doing now is incredible.
But I have to wonder what his true goal is...
Is it simply revenge on that damn Gatchaman for killing Leader X?
Or does he truly intend to destroy the Earth?
It's baffling...
What's baffling, Egobossler?
Your Excellency! It's nothing.
You're the baffling one. What are you doing right now?!
You've killed Chief Nambu, and destroyed the Gatchaman Base as well as ISO Headquarters.
Again, I've shown the world its impending demise and pushed Gatchaman and his team into a corner,
yet you still can't get rid of even one of them?!
Stop overthinking everything and take action!
Defeating Gatchaman is all you have left to do.
Once you do that, the world will be yours for the taking.
Why don't you take my newly completed Iron Beast, Arachnocold,
and demand the world surrender to you.
Yes.
If you do...
I know. That will make Gatchaman come running for sure.
Yes. Right now, a huge magnetic storm rages on the Earth's surface.
Their mecha, and therein their power will be reduced by half at least.
Now is the perfect chance to attack!
But won't the Iron Beast mecha be affected by the magnetic storm too?
A foolish question. I created the mecha!
Stop worrying about everything and start taking action!
Yes, your Excellency!
Lord Egobossler, you called for me?
Mechandol! Prepare for departure. We march!
Yes, Sir!
Look, my Lord!
This mecha's systems are all working efficiently, unaffected by the magnetic storm.
It seems there's a shield coming from inside that blocks the effects of the magnetic storm.
There also appears to be dozens of battle mechas
called Arachnophantoms loaded onto the rear hangar.
These mechas are incredible.
We may be able to finish off Gatchaman and the others for good this time!
Good. Send them flying throughout the world at maximum speed!
This is an announcement to all citizens of Earth: I am the leader of Galactor, Lord Egobossler!
Surrender to my family immediately!
This is an announcement to all citizens of Earth:
Surrender!
If you surrender now, I will allow you to live on, together with us.
Will you sit and wait for death to come? You must choose now!
This is an announcement to all citizens of Earth.
I am Lord Egobossler.
Surrender to my family immediately!
Gatchaman!
It's weak, but we're receiving a broadcast signal from Rome, Italy.
It appears Egobossler is demanding surrender from its citizens.
What?!
This is an announcement to all citizens of Earth.
Surrender now.
Damn you, Egobossler...!
Team, move out!
Roger!
Hold on!
What are you planning on doing with all the radar and computers going haywire, Gatchaman?!
We'll just have to operate everything manually.
Your G-mechas' power will be reduced by half, and even your bracelets won't be functioning!
I know that! But I won't let them keep treating us like babies forever!
Gatchaman... I'm keeping you in my prayers.
Damn that Leader Z! How dare he do this to Earth...
I will defeat you, mark my words!
Lord Egobossler!
We have aircraft approaching quickly, thought to be Gatchaman and his team!
Here they come...
Mechandol, launch the Arachnophantoms!
Yes, Sir!
Arachnophantom squad, launch all units immediately!
There you are! Let's swoop in and strike!
Let's do this!
Damn flies! I'll swat down every last one of you!
All units, aim for Gatchaman!
Ken!
Big Bro's in trouble!
What are they trying to do?!
They're all going after Ken at once. Damn it! I won't let them!
No! If I try to attack that thing now I might end up hitting Ken's G-1 too!
Damn it! I can't do anything!
Damn it!
Die, Gatchaman!
Yeah! That's our Ken!
There, that's our signal to group up!
All right! Ready for manual combination!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan combination complete!
My Lord! We've lost sight of Gatchaman!
What?!
He's too close for our radar to detect!
Huh? The radar and computers are all functioning normally again!
Ah! Their mecha is the only one not being affected by radio interference!
It looks like they've put up a shield that protects them from the magnetic storm!
Well isn't that convenient for us! I'm going to punch my way inside of it! Come on!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
All right. Jun, Jinpei, Ryu! You guys are in charge!
Joe! Where are you going?!
I can't let Ken go alone!
My Lord, I see them!
Gatchaman's mecha has stuck itself to the bottom of ours!
Wh-what?! Shake it off! Don't just sit there!
Why so flustered, Egobossler? Aren't you embarrassed?
That voice sounded like Gatchaman!
You're not going anywhere, Egobossler! I'll capture you this time!
You fool! That's my line!
Get him!
Damn you!
Egobossler...
Damn it...
You won't get away this time!
D-damn it... Why now, of all times... my strength is fading...!
Lord Egobossler, we must escape now before she explodes!
Quickly, my Lord!
E-Egobossler!
Ken! Hold on, Ken!
How could he fumble such a perfect chance to kill Gatchaman?!
It seems the time has come for me to wash my hands of Egobossler too...
The last few fragments of the antimatter planetoid fell down to the Earth's surface,
and the disturbance in the ionosphere finally began to return to normal.
However, the after-effects of the natural disasters still continued worldwide.
Gatchaman's cellular deterioration was accelerating faster than expected.
When the team thought about how Gatchaman must feel
after going so far to chase Egobossler down, then failing to catch him, no one knew what to say.
But the Science Ninja Team was strongly united.
The bonds that linked their hearts together would
surely revive Gatchaman's phoenix wings to help him fly once more.
Gatchaman's condition has worsened to the point that if he uses his Hyper Shot one more time,
it will mean certain death. Joe and the others desperately persuade him not to use it.
However, Leader Z has begun guiding a new antimatter planetoid towards Earth...
one even more powerful than the last!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"G-1 Desperate for High Power"!
Look forward to it!
