Oh! Gatchaman!
Earth Extinction! 3, 2, 1
When Gatchaman discovered that there was another antimatter planetoid,
separate from the first, he disregarded his body's critical cellular deterioration
and powered up the Gatcha Spartan.
However, if he uses the Hyper Shot again, it will mean certain death.
Minute by minute, the antimatter planetoid moves closer to Earth,
now only 26 hours remain until Earth is annihilated.
The Earth awaits its final moments before it
and all of its inhabitants are consumed by the great space devil.
Chief Nambu...
I'm sure you already know this, but the antimatter planetoid we destroyed before doesn't even begin
to compare to the massive scale and power of the one we're up against now.
It's nearly impossible to destroy an antimatter planetoid when it reaches this magnitude.
Then what are we supposed to do?!
We need to divert its course away from Earth.
Of the seven space tractors surrounding the planetoid,
we need to destroy the three at its flank.
I see.
If we disrupt the balance between them, it'll throw off the antimatter planetoid's trajectory by a lot.
You'll only have one chance to attack.
One chance is enough. Our enemy isn't stupid. Whether we live or die is a coin flip...
and our planet's fate lies in the outcome.
Gatchaman! You're our last bet!
There are only three asteroid missiles remaining. Besides that, all we have is your bravery!
This isn't bravery!
Huh?
I'll just say this. It's not bravery we're feeling, it's anger and hatred. Towards Galactor.
Joe...
Ken, it's time to get out of here, don't you think?
All right!
Gatchaman, there's something I want to give you.
It's Chief Nambu's memento.
Chief Nambu?
What is it?
It was Chief Nambu's.
I thought it might be hiding an important secret, so I performed various tests and analyses.
But in the end, I couldn't figure out what it was used for.
I think the five points on the star might represent you, the Science Ninja Team.
Chief Nambu told me that I must give it to you in the event that something happened to him.
Chief Nambu...
The Science Ninja Team are not five members, but one.
And every single one of you better come back home alive!
Understood!
We're counting on you, Science Ninja Team!
Roger!
Joe...
We're approaching the antimatter planetoid!
Whoa...
Asteroid missiles, standby! Let's go!
Roger!
Now! Commence attack!
Damn it!
Joe!
Damn it!
Joe!
Spartan Laser Blast!
Joe...
Joe, the three at the flank! Can you handle it?
Yeah, this is nothing... L-Leave it to me!
All right!
Joe...
All right!
Now!
W-We did it!
We did it!
K-Ken!
What is it?!
J-Jun! Jun!
Jun!
Science Ninja Team, looks like I've caught you in my trap.
The human race can no longer escape its fate.
I win. In twelve hours. Only twelve more hours...
Leader Z!
Ah, Egobossler. The roles of Galactor and yourself have ended.
Leader Z, I commend you for your thoroughly calculated plan.
Until this very moment, you have drawn the Science Ninja Team and all of humanity's eyes to Galactor,
while you guided your antimatter planetoid all the way here.
Feeling regretful, Egobossler?
No, I'm beyond feeling angry about my own stupidity.
Why feel regret for this crumbling world now...?
But, as I was once a man who dreamed of world domination,
don't I have the right to watch as that shallow dream crumbles before my eyes?
Fine... I'll grant your dying wish.
Leader Z!
I'm not going to stand here with my tail between my legs and be tormented by you this time!
Even if it means dying by each other's hand, I won't allow you to do as you please with this Earth
that I was so close to claiming all for myself!
You watch, and I'll give you the surprise of your life!
Ken, hold on!
Jun! What the hell happened?
The antimatter planetoid's shield got us! Thankfully everyone somehow survived.
Jinpei, your wounds aren't that bad! Come on!
S-so that's what happened...
We're in trouble, Ken!
The antimatter planetoid expanded and is heading straight for Earth!
Damn it!
Come on, we'll use the Ultra Hyper Shot!
But if we use that, Ken, you'll-
How can you say that? What's more important?
One person's life or the lives of all humanity? It goes without saying.
Ken... After all those times you said "if we die, we die together"...
Why, why alone?
I remember that promise. But if this plan fails, I want as many of you to survive as possible...
Don't! This isn't your responsibility!
Joe!
Ken, I've already died once.
I'll be the one to break into the antimatter planetoid.
Joe...
Joe! That's my job as the leader of the Science Ninja Team!
To hell with being leader then!
Joe... this fight has taken everything from you. Your love, your family, even your body itself.
Joe, you've fought enough... it's my turn now.
Ken, of course I hate Galactor... I couldn't hate them more.
But Ken... I don't care what happens to the Earth or Leader Z!
I just couldn't bear to watch you, Jun, or the others die!
Now, get out of my way!
I won't get out of the way!
Ken, don't!
Quit standing there and get out of my way!
Joe... if you insist on going, you'll have to go through me first!
You want me to fight you?
That's right, Joe!
You intend to die!
But killing yourself to solve a problem is the easy way out.
I'm goingg to come back alive! I'll fight this to the end!
Ken...
Cut it out, you guys! This isn't the time to fight!
Yeah! That antimatter planetoid is hurtling towards Earth like it's being pulled by a string!
"Like it's being pulled by a string!"
And the one pulling the string is Leader Z! How could we not have realized this until now?
He must be using the Space Pulse like a string.
That's why Chief Nambu was so focused on figuring it out!
Jinpei, you're a genius!
I'm a genius?
A genius among geniuses!
Ken! We need to hurry!
All right!
All right! Follow the sound of my voice.
No matter how enormous Z is, there must be a central chamber!
Keep your guard up!
Sir!
You fools! Did you think I wouldn't see through your plan?!
Damn you, Leader Z!
Disperse! Disperse!
Now, my Lord!
Egobossler! That's enough of your meddling!
I'll be leaving this planet in a few moments.
I'll instantaneously escape to safety and gaze at the great spectacle of Earth's annihilation.
I see! So that's the source of your true power!
I wonder if you'll be able to endure the crashing shock of hyperspace as we pass through.
Gatchaman! I have found Leader Z!
Where is he?!
Point HO.YB30,26. He's in the Arctic!
The Arctic?
Damn it... Ken, Leader Z has the trump card. He can teleport anywhere!
I know. It'll all be over if he disappears into hyperspace!
My Lord!
Do whatever you must to prevent him from leaving!
Sir!
There! It's spouting flames!
That's it! We can enter from there!
All right! Ryu, full power!
Roger!
Damn you, Gatchaman! Y-you're alive?!
Leader Z!
Leader Z! The fight starts now!
The antimatter planetoid gives off a suspicious beam of light, steadily moving closer to the Earth...
Only four more hours until the planet is annihilated!
Can the Science Ninja Team defeat Leader Z after being drawn into hyperspace?
What is the truth behind Chief Nambu's memento?
In a final dash to save the Earth, Gatchaman presses on towards Leader Z's central chamber.
Is there really a future for Gatchaman and his team,
who have sacrificed their youth to fight against not two, but three devils from space?
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:

Look forward to it!
