Three million years later
Earth was at the peak of its prosperity...
The Republic of Hontworl's surprise announcement of its withdrawal...
...from the UN had a strong impact on international diplomacy.
The reason for the withdrawal is not yet clear.
President Kerry Beoluke of the Republic of Hontworl...
....announced today that his nation is withdrawing from any...
...international organizations with links to the UN...
...including the International Atomic Energy Agency and International Science Organization.
Earlier today, without the presence of the ambassador of Hontworl...
...the Security Council unanimously voted for economic sanctions against Hontworl.
Three months after Hontworl's withdrawal from the UN...
...the Republic of Asham announced today...
...that it would also withdraw from the UN.
In Mekol, the capital of Hontworl, President Beoluke held a press conference...
...and announced that Hontworl and Asham will sign a military treaty.
Mr. Beoluke also announced that they will establish an alternative United Nations.
President Kerry Beoluke of the Republic of Hontworl turned 52 today.
Despite being called the Son of Satan, Hitler reborn...
...President Beoluke's popularity in Hontworl appears to be higher than ever.
Cheered on by thousands, President Beoluke emerged from the Presidential Palace...
...and announced that 3 more nations have signed a military treaty with Hontworl.
What Mr. Beoluke calls an alternative UN...
...is seen by the diplomatic community as the beginning of a new political block.
Experts warn that this could trigger a new cold war.
In his speech...
...President Beoluke condemned the Mantle Plan of Dr. Nanbu.
The Mantle Plan is a massive project...
...which involves establishing a new system to harness energy...
...and protect the global environment.

Authorities still have no clues...
...on the massive explosion that destroyed the City of May-au Eeal...
...in a matter of seconds earlier this morning.
Utoland City~~~~~~~ March 21, 2066 2:30 PM
A Hontworl government spokesman...
...strongly denied any involvement in this tragic incident.
International Science Organization Headquarters
Please begin, Dr. Nanbu.
This incident should be considered as a direct challenge...
...to international peace and freedom.
As you know, we've been pushing the Mantle Plan for the past two years...
...trying to utilize our resources more effectively with minimum damage to the environment.
It is now clear, the real reason for Hontworl's withdrawal from the UN...
...is that the Mantle Plan conflicts with Hontworl's national interests.
Dr. Nanbu, is Hontworl opposed to the Plan...
...or does it seek to control the whole project?
It could be both.
However, it is most likely that its plan is to control the world's energy resources.
Hontworl is not necessarily the primary threat to the international community.
A secret organization has been controlling Hontworl for years.
This organization is one which is extremely dangerous to the world.
A secret organization?
What could this be?
Take a look at this.
Unusually powerful low pressure systems have been observed throughout the world.
I am convinced that these are artificially created.
Artificially?
That's impossible.
In the past three months, a number of research facilities around the world...
...indispensable to the Mantle Plan, have been attacked by unknown forces.
All these incidents took place where the mysterious low pressure systems occurred.
This shows a deliberate plan to cripple the project.
It could just be a coincidence.
How can you be so sure?
Please take a good look at the center of this low pressure system.
What's that?
I don't know.
It's 400 meters long.
As you can see from the radar image, it's a man-made object.
Do you think it's responsible for all those low pressure systems?
Save your theories, Dr. Nanbu.
Your story sounds like a cheap sci-fi animation.
Don't waste our time.
By the way, this picture was taken by our Seventh Satellite...
...which belongs to my Weather Department.
I didn't approve anyone's using it.
I've requested its use a number of times.
The one who refused my requests without any reasonable explanation...
...was YOU, Dr. Hesslar!
Well, if it happens again...
...I will report your abuse of authority to the UN.
I think Dr. Nanbu's theory has some merit to it.
And if true, it will be a significant threat to our project.
I authorize you continued investigation, Dr. Nanbu.
Thank you very much, Chairman Anderson.
But I can't think of any organization that has such advanced technology as this.
It's hard to believe.
But I have an idea of what it might be.
What's its name?
It's name is...
Dr. Kirkland, there's a call for you.
It's me.
Dr. Kirkland, have you made up your mind yet?
I've made my refusal very clear already.
If you join our Galactic Company...
...we'll provide you with enough funds for your research and yourself.
I want nothing to do with you!
That's very unfortunate, Doctor.
Would you mind looking out the window?
What?
Speed: 800!
Altitude: 1200!
Activate the condenser!
Condenser activated!
External plates: Open!
External plates: Opened!
Welcome aboard the Turtle King, Dr. Kirkland.
I hope you had a pleasant trip.
Who the hell are you?
I thought it was the Galactic Company that's been after me.
It was your refusal to join us that forced us to take this action, Doctor.
Are you saying that you hijacked the plane just to get me?
This has nothing to do with them!
All we want is your help, Doctor.
Of course we'll let them go.
Release flight 307!
Prepare to fire!
Fire!
What have you done?
You forced us to reveal our ship, the Turtle King.
We couldn't leave any witnesses.
Great plans often cause great tragedy, after all.
Their deaths will become a part of the great history of Galactor.
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Eternal glory!
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Eternal glory!
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Eternal glory!
Galactor?
We know very little about this secret organization.
There's even a theory that the origin of Galactor...
...can be traced back to the beginning of human civilization.
A mysterious influence on the other side of the world?
It is likely that the Republic of Hontworl...
...is being controlled by Galactor.
Some historians believe that it may have happened earlier with the Third Reich.
This time it could be an even greater threat to mankind.
Yes.
This is G-1: The eagle, Ken.
This is Nanbu.
It looks like they're making their move.
Galactor?
Yes!
They've already destroyed many science installations...
...and kidnapped our scientists using large-scale weather control.
I suspect they're doing everything they can to stop the Mantle Plan.
Then they'll probably use their advanced nuclear capability...
...to create a new world order...
...based on the alternative UN concept which Hontworl has proposed.
Your mission is to find out everything you can...
...about this weather control system as soon as possible.
It will lead us to the secret headquarters of Galactor.
The time has come for you to show yourselves - The Science Ninja Team.
Although this is your first assignment, it will be very dangerous.
Leave it to us, Dr. Nanbu.
It's up to you, now, Ken.
No.
Science Ninja Team G1 - Gatchaman!
Roger!
Joe, run!
Joe!
Hey, Sis! Wait up!
I know you want to see him, but you're way over the speed limit!
What are you talking about, Jinpei?!
It's a Bird Scramble!
I can see. It shows on your face.
Stop fooling around!
Get G-5! We have to hurry!
Roger!
It's time!
Bird System: Stand by!
Okay!
God Phoenix - Launch!
I'll be back soon, Dad.
Bird, go!
It's been a long time, everyone.
There's no time for niceties, Ken.
It's finally time for us to do our job.
And it's going to be war; Kill or be killed.
Everyone, take your positions!
Science Ninja Team:
I have just been informed that ISO's weather satellite...
...has found another abnormal low pressure system.
It's likely that Galactor's weather control system is located at the center of it.
Your mission at this point is to observe the system...
...and gather information on it.
You're enemy is Galactor.
Remember, this is not a drill.
Once they detect you...
...they will likely attack you with highly destructive weapons...
You know about the explosion that destroyed the City of May-au-Eeal.
Take every precaution.
Good luck.
Okay, Ryu, let's head for the target.
Roger!
There's an enormous magnetic field in the middle of the low pressure system.
I see.
Ryu, don't get too close.
We don't want them to detect us.
I have a visual.
Distance: 2000.
All right. Let's see.
What a spooky cloud.
The barometer shows it's as powerful as a medium-class hurricane.
It's moving North-West at 90 mph.
They haven't detected us yet.
Let's get in the first shot with a Bird Missile.
Wait, Joe!
What?
Have you forgotten our orders.
Our mission is to observe it and track it to Galactor's headquarters.
Don't be so naive, Ken.
It's either make the first attack now...
...or suffer the consequences later.
Eventually, Galactor's gonna find us and by then, it may be too late.
We have to destroy them now!
Our orders weren't to fight them.
You don't know how dangerous Galactor can be...
...because you've never actually fought against them.
But, Ken, you should remember this:
By the time you find out, you'll most likely be dead.
Are you a member of this team or not?
What?
I'm the leader of the Science Ninja Team.
I expect you to follow my orders.
Jun, start collecting as much data on Galactor as you can.
All the information should be sent immediately to Dr. Nanbu.
Roger!
Joe, don't be so impatient.
Our trip's just begun.
Just relax.
That's right!
The best is yet to come.
I joined the Science Ninja Team...
...because I wanted to fight against Galactor.
I'm the only one here whose parents were murdered by them.
You have no idea what they really are.
I think the Galactor mecha is heading towards Kamaal.
One of the laboratories working on the Mantle Plan is in that city.
That must be Galactor's target.
Jun, ask Dr. Nanbu to arrange an emergency evacuation...
...for the City of Kamaal.
Also, request assistance from the UN Air Force.
Roger!
You see, Ken?!
If we had made the first attack earlier...
...we could have at least kept it from destroying this city!
This is your fault!
Stop it, Joe!
Don't you see that I feel bad about this more than anyone else?
But it was an order from Dr. Nanbu.
Attack it now. Use the Bird Missiles, Ken!
Didn't you just see what happened to the UN Air Force!
Conventional weapons are useless against that thing.
Look at that.
So that's what the Galactor ship really is.
Ryu, follow it carefully. They still haven't detected us.
Roger!
Gentlemen, I just analyzed the data you sent me.
All I can tell you at this point is that the whole machine...
...is packed full of advanced alien technologies.
Alien technology?
That's right.
It's safe to say that this technology didn't originate on our planet.
Huh?
So does that mean... we're dealing with aliens?
I wonder if they have four arms and four legs and look like an octopus, or...
Jinpei!
I can't tell you anything else right now.
But this is an excellent opportunity to find out more about Galactor.
Keep following it and send more data.
Y-You...?!
Time for a short nap, Dr. Nanbu.
The Galactor ship has changed its course.
If it stays on this new course, it'll reach Utoland City in an hour.
What?!
Are you awake, Dr. Nanbu?
Where am I? Who are you?
Welcome aboard my ship, the Katzenberg, Dr. Nanbu.
President Beoluke!
You kidnapped me?
I apologize for any inconvenience.
But I couldn't come up with a better way to invite you here.
You are a brilliant scientist.
The best in the world.
You are the kind of person I would like to call a comrade, Dr. Nanbu.
What are you getting at?
I'm inviting you aboard my Noah's Ark.
It's the Ark of tomorrow for the chosen ones.
Only the chosen ones are needed for the glorious future of this world.
What will happen to the rest of the people then?
Will they be punished by God?
Will they drown in a flood?
There is no God, Dr. Nanbu.
And yes, that's what our ancestors did to the Earth thousands of years ago.
There is always a world of difference between what people say and what people wish.
They all say what they want is peace, but at the same time...
...they want superiority over others.
That's why once they start to have doubts, they become uncontrollable.
You and I know that many nations have signed a secret treaty...
...and are preparing for a massive invasion of Hontworl.
It doesn't matter to us...
...even though World War III will eventually begin.
Everything has been according to your plans - is that what you're saying?
I wonder which side is going to launch their nuclear missiles first.
Dr. Nanbu? Dr. Nanbu?
It's no use!
I can't reach Dr. Nanbu or anyone else at ISO Headquarters.
What does this mean?
I know!
There's a communications blackout.
This usually means that war is imminent.
But that means...
That's why the Galactor ship has been destroying cities around the world.
It was to cause a military confrontation...
...between the Hontworl Axis and the Anti-Hontworl Alliance!
That's crazy!
This was all a Galactor conspiracy!
If Utoland City is attacked by Galactor...
...it will certainly trigger a world war!
I've been waiting a long time for this day to come...
...Dr. Nanbu, to have you as my comrade.
I refuse!
I've learned too much about your organization and its goals.
There's no way I'll help your evil plan.
Perhaps you haven't learned enough about us.
Once you've met our leader and learn how great his power is...
...I'm sure you'll be happy to work with us...
...just like the other scientists.
Please, come in here, Dr. Nanbu.
There you are, Dr. Nanbu.
I'm glad you've joined us, too.
Dr. Kirkland?
Professor Bayling, you too?
Just as I thought, you're all alive.
What are you all doing here?
This is a wonderful place.
Look at their technology - surely, a new era in science is about to come.
We are the chosen ones after all.
I think that collaborating with them is our duty.
I'm counting on you, Dr. Nanbu.
ISO should also drop the Mantle Plan altogether...
...and join our program, don't you think?
Mind control...
Dr. Nanbu, we are at the brink of a new era.
We need your brilliant mind.
We are the ones who will write future history Dr. Nanbu.
Won't you join in the greatest and most glorious project of all time?
And be a part of Galactor?
Nothing is going to change my mind!
I am committed to stopping all your plots, and I will!
Remember that...
...Leader of Galactor:
Berg Katse!
So you do know my name.
Just as I expected, Dr. Nanbu, you're no ordinary scientist.
Yes, I am the Great Leader of the Galactor...
...and the next leader of this world - Berg Katse.
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Eternal glory!
You don't want to die here, Dr. Nanbu.
Please don't waste that brilliant brain of yours.
You should have to through the hardships that the world leaders are about to create.
I don't want to kill you, too.
In a short while, the Turtle King will destroy ISO Headquarters...
...and that will trigger World War III.
You can sit back and watch what is going to happen next.
And that will hopefully change your mind.
~
Ken!
What are you gonna do now?
I hope you're not going to tell me the same crap again!
I agree with Joe.
Let's destroy it with the Bird Missile before it reaches Utoland City.
Otherwise, that whole city's gonna die!
Not just the city, but the whole world!
Ken!
No.
We're not going to use the Bird Missile.
Bro!
Ken!
Listen to me!
I didn't say we wouldn't attack them.
We're going to sneak into it and plant bombs.
This way should be more effective than a Bird Missile.
We saw that missiles were useless against it.
We can't take a risk alerting them.
Joe, is that okay with you?
Hmph. I like this plan.
All right.
Ryu, take the God Phoenix above the enemy ship...
...then set the automatic pilot system.
Roger!
We have to finish our mission before it reaches Utoland City.
All right.
Let's go!
The timers are set to blow in precisely 30 minutes.
If we fail to escape...
...we'll be destroyed, along with the Galactor ship.
Allow 20 minutes to find the spots to set the bomb.
Set 10 minutes aside to escape.
Placement of the bombs is up to you, Jun.
Roger.
Then we all return here to the God Phoenix.
All right.
GO!
Jinpei!
Coming!
Wait for five seconds.
All right!
Captain, there are intruders!
From B-block, Section 107.
What?
Black Birds!
Yes, sir?
Go! Kill the intruders!
Yes, sir!
Okay, Jun and I are going down to the engine room.
The rest of you, get all the information you can.
Way to go, Sis!
Jinpei!
Let's go!
How is it going, Jun?
So far so good.
Who are you?
Who dare to fight the best of the Galactor - The Black Bird Unit.
Birdrang!
What's wrong?
Ken? What's happening?
Nothing. Everything is fine.
I'm finished in here.
Ten minutes 'til it blows!
Now what do we do?
How about making them tell us the location of their base?
Don't bother. Leave it to the great Jinpei.
No good.
All the files have been locked down.
Galactor systems shouldn't be that hard.
I thought you were good?
Geez.
Look out, Ryu!
That one seems to be better than the others.
Joe, don't!
Joe, let him go!
Bro!
I didn't ask you to come with me!
The door!
It's a trap!
Shit!
Don't move!
No one has ever infiltrated Galactor's Turtle King before.
So I'll let you tell me who you are before I decide your fate.
It's them!
Who are you?
Damn! What are you doing?!
Kill 'em all!
God damn it!
It could've been one of us.
It could've been all five of us.
We were here before you knew it.
We're here for justice.
We are the Science Ninja Team:
Gatchaman!
FIRE!
Bird Flash!
Damn you!
DIE!
Bird Hologram!
Birdrang!
Damn you, Gatchaman!
I'll blow up your home in Utoland City first!
Utoland City is in range of our Laser Shot.
Good.
Prepare to fire Laser Shot at maximum power!
Laser Shot: Stand by!
Energy level: Maximum!
I can't unlock this!
Out of the way!
Target: International Science Organization Headquarters!
Ready to fire.
FIRE!
Ryu, get us out of here!
Roger!
We did it!
A part of the ship seperated and is fleeing.
Follow it, Ryu.
We might still be able to find Galactor's headquarters.
Fool! You failed us!
I promise to make up for this!
Please, forgive me, Lord Katse.
I cannot.
That Science Ninja Team could become a big threat.
If you don't kill them all, I won't permit you to return home.
Eternal glory to Galactor!
It's coming back.
Is it going to dog fight with us?
No!
It looks like it's making a suicide run!
Evade, Ryu!
There's a large amount of radioactive material in that ship.
It could be a nuclear bomb!
He's trying to take us out with him!
You can't get away, Gatchaman!
Death: That's the fate that awaits anyone who stands against Galactor.
It's no use! It's just as fast as us!
Ryu, switch engine mode from turbo-jet to rocket!
What?
Ken, you're not thinking of...?
It's the only choice we have.
We have to go to the Fiery Phoenix!
Ryu, go up as high as possible!
We have to keep the damage from the blast as small as possible!
Roger!
God Phoenix: Maximum power!
Ignite Fire Bird Booster!
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Bad luck, Berg Katse.
You declared checkmate to quickly.
Dr. Nanbu...
...it's unfortunate that we couldn't come to a mutual understanding.
And, it's most unfortunate that you won't live long enough...
...to see the day the world is reborn under the rule of Galactor, Nanbu.
It looks like it's you, who's most unfortunate, Berg Katse.
You can't escape.
He was just an illusion the whole time!
Foolish mankind, your days are numbered.
Eventually you all will submit to Galactor.
It's the history of the future.
And you can't change history.
H-He's gone!
I apologize, Lord Sousai X.
There was some unexpected interference.
Berg Katse, don't underestimate the Science Ninja Team.
Make getting rid of them your first priority.
Yes, Sir.
I'll expect to hear good news from you next time.
You are the one I designated as the ruler of Earth.
I'm counting on you.
You can count on me, Sousai.
Eternal glory to Galactor!
Well done, everyone.
I congratulate you on an excellent job.
But Galactor hasn't given up yet.
They will be back with new conspiracies.
And you will be there to stop them.
I'm counting on you, Science Ninja Team!
Roger!

Galactor's headquarters is finally discovered.
To capture the hideout...
...the joint forces of the United Nations and The Science Ninja Team are dispatched.
But it turns out to be another plot.
Can the Bird Missile crush Galactor's conspiracy?
