Gatchaman Versus Turtle King
This is the watchtower. Visibility isn't good because of the downpour,
but for the moment nothing is out of the ordinary.
A monster!
The monster robot is targeting the uranium storehouse.
Commence attack!
That damn uranium thief...
The appearance of the monster robot filled the entire world with terror.
Representatives from every country
assembled in the conference room of the lnternational Science Organization.
We've gathered all possible scientific powers
and we're making haste to develop non-polluting energy sources.
However, the uranium we would use for world peace
has been stolen by a monster robot.
This is certainly the work of those who would
sabotage our endeavors towards world peace.
Director Anderson, who is this group?
Unfortunately, it's impossible for even top intelligence agents
to discover their true identity.
The monster robot will surely come again.
We can't just leave them be. We have to take steps of some sort.
But at present their identity is entirely...
Known to me.
Dr. Nambu, you say you know who they are?
They're the Galactor group.
Galactor?
Yes, according to my investigations,
they're a group with formidable scientific powers
whose aim is world conquest.
l see. Then where are their headquarters, Dr. Nambu?
We don't know that yet.
We'll have to search it out ourselves, in secret.
But if that was impossible even for top intelligence agents,
there probably isn't anyone who can search it out.
There is!
Who?
They're sometimes five, and sometimes one...
The white shadow that steals close without showing its true form...
They are called the Science Ninja Team.
This is Gatchaman, over.
This is Nambu.
Gatchaman, we've picked up a suspicious aircraft heading north on radar.
Doctor, is that the monster robot from before?
Yes, l think that's certain.
G-1 , gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
Roger!
Bird Go!
Ken the Eagle: Science Ninja Team G-1 , also called Gatchaman.
Jun the Swan: Science Ninja Team G-3.
Ryu the Owl: Science Ninja Team G-5.
The Science Ninja Team is a team of young ninja of justice,
created by Dr. Nambu to shatter Galactor's hopes of world conquest.
Their goal is to use the many machines Dr. Nambu has invented,
and following his orders, search out the secret Galactor bases
spread throughout the countries of the world
to locate their headquarters.
Jinpei the Swallow: Science Ninja Team G-4.
Joe the Condor: Science Ninja Team G-2.
ln this way, the Science Ninja Team, centered around Gatchaman,
completed the combination of units G-1 through G-5.
The aircraft that we think is the monster robot has vanished from our radar.
But our enemy is Galactor. We can't let down our guard.
Judging by the name Junk-actor they don't seem too tough.
Their name isn't Junk-actor; it's Galactor.
The monster robot is a rampaging turtle.
There have been many civilians killed as well.
That's unforgivable.
We'll blast some Bird Missiles at that turtle monster when we find him.
No! The Science Ninja Team's mission isn't just to fight,
it's to search out Galactor headquarters.
Don't jump the gun, Joe!
Gatchaman, you're the Science Ninja Team's leader.
l'd like you to be very careful that there's no forgetting the mission
and going against orders during your operations.
Yes, Sir.
Members of the Science Ninja Team, l pray for your success.
l wonder if he's not going to come out anymore?
He'll come, make no mistake.
The truth is you want to be cool and fight the monster robot too, right, Ken?
Jun, even l'd like to take a swing at him and...
ldiot!
Hey, what's that?
Gee, the ocean and a turtle...
Something stinks about this.
Ryu, go underwater.
Roger.
The turtle monster came through here; that's for sure.
Yes.
Wow! lt's the turtle monster!
Damn, he's rampaging around like he thinks he's really something.
l can't watch this anymore. Ryu, get us closer.
You got it.
Wait!
What?! Wait!
What?!
Are you going to go against orders, Joe?
That depends on the circumstances.
Listen, l'm going to break into his body and bring him down.
Our mission is the surveillance of the monster and the location of Galactor headquarters.
Ryu, get us far away before we're discovered.
l can't agree with that, Ken. Have you become scared?
What?!
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Ken, the monster robot's flown off towards a city!
This is bad! This time a city will be destroyed!
lnnocent people will be sacrificed.
Oh, this is so frustrating l'm going to cry.
l want to cry too.
Ken, what do we do?
Ken, l'm not taking your orders anymore.
l'm blasting a Bird Missile at him!
Wait!
Don't get in my way.
Ryu, get us right up close to him.
That's the Ken l know.
Don't jump the gun, Joe.
We're just going to smash his eyes.
That's enough for me.
All right, first, two people will sneak in, making sure not to be seen,
through the monster robot's air shaft.
l've been waiting for this.
l, the great Swallow Jinpei, the 18th successor to the lga Ninja...
l won't take you with me.
We're going to recover the stolen uranium.
lt's a life-threatening job.
l'll be one of the ones to go.
l'll be the other one.
Just a minute, there!
Dealing with explosives is my job. l'll be the other one to go.
Too bad for you, Joe.
The truth is, you want to go and be friendly with Ken, don't you, Sis?
Hey!
Here we go, Jun!
Bird...
Flight!
Who are you?!
Jun, be careful. lf you die, we'll die together.
Leave it to me.
You be careful too, Ken!
lf the uranium isn't in its belly, then just where...
What impudent brats.
Just watch, this time l'll finish them off!
The red light that never misses its target will guide you to Hell!
The laser beam isn't working.
Check it out!
lt's a success!
We're going in.
There's no uranium inside the monster robot.
Damn, they led us on a fool's errand.
Jun completed our objective.
Now, let's retreat before there's any trouble.
But this isn't really satisfying somehow.
Damn! So we're too late then?
Looks like it's my turn in the spotlight.
There's no way we can avoid going against our orders now, Ken.
Looks that way.
You reckless brats who snuck into the Turtle King,
the monster robot that's the pride of Galactor...
l'll be nice and ask your names right now before l kill you all.
We're sometimes five, and sometimes one,
the white shadow that steals close without showing its true form...
The shadow warriors of justice, the Science Ninja Team!
What?
United, our team is called Gatchaman!
Gatchaman?
Ninja Technique: Tornado Fighter!
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Take that!
You failed, didn't you?
Yes, Lord Berg Katse. Please, order countermeasures.
Wait, l'll ask for instructions from our Leader.
Leader, how shall l deal with the carelessness of the Turtle King?
Berg Katse,
the Science Ninja Team will surely be Galactor's most fearsome enemy.
Our most fearsome enemy?
Do not make light of them by thinking of them as children.
Until we obliterate the Ninja Science Team,
we will not be able to see the day when the world of Galactor will come.
Yes, Sir! Let us blow up the Turtle King
and obliterate all of the Science Ninja Team at once!
The neck has separated from the body. Launch the God Phoenix. We're following it!
Go to Hell, you cursed Science Ninja Team!
To wipe out the monster's body along with the Science Ninja Team,
Galactor pushes the button for a timed explosion device.
Gatchaman is in danger!
Damn! Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
Ken, if we use that, we'll...
l know. We'll have to withstand a lot of pressure,
and the God Phoenix may break apart and be strewn across the sky.
But what other way is there?
lf we stay this way, the Science Ninja Team will end up
being wiped out together with this turtle monster!
All right, let's try it. Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
All right, here we go.
Push the generator all the way to the red zone!
Huh? What's that?!
The God Phoenix which fell with the Turtle King,
becomes the Firebird and soars high into the heavens.
What is this Science Ninja Technique Firebird that carries the risk of death?
And what is the destiny of Gatchaman?
Hang in there, Gatchaman!
Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
The shadow dancing high in the sky
lt's the white wings of Gatchaman
You stake your life and fly out
That's the Science Ninja Technique Firebird
Fly! Fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go! Go, go, Gatchaman
There is only one Earth
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
You stake your life and fly out
That's the Science Ninja Technique Firebird
Fly! Fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go! Go, go, Gatchaman
There is only one Earth
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
