The Monstrous Aircraft Carrier Appears
The Science Ninja Team tried to escape from the Turtle King.
But the God Phoenix's wing got caught in the Turtle King's door.
The minutes were ticking away on the timed explosion device Galactor planted.
Secret Ninja Technique: Firebird!
As Gatchaman gave this order,
the God Phoenix's generator was pushed all the way to the red zone.
As intense friction was generated between the fuselage and the air,
the team members withstood the high temperatures and rising pressure
with all their might.
The Science Ninja Technique that carries the risk of death, the Firebird.
Finally, the God Phoenix melted the door
of the Turtle King which had caught it, and soared into the sky.
The monster robot which had threatened the people fell into the sea in tiny pieces.
The Galactor members escaped in the head portion of the robot.
The next target of their attacks was...
All of the plans for the space flight have now been carried out.
We're returning to Earth immediately, over.
Roger that. You'll be entering the atmosphere at an angle of 45 degrees.
lt's the least difficult, but take it easy.
Roger that. We've gotten this far; we won't slip up now.
Okay, beginning countdown to reverse thrust.
Jets on. All set.
Fifteen seconds.
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Zero!
This is Mantle 8. Everything is going smoothly.
We're entering the atmosphere
and then heading towards the planned water landing site, over.
Roger that.
Vessels on standby, head for the water landing site immediately
and retrieve the spaceship.
The Turtle King, we let it get away that time, but l'm sure it'll show up again somewhere.
This is G-1 .
This is Nambu.
Urgent orders: G-1 , combine with the other units and stand by at sea.
Doctor, what happened?
l'll explain later.
l want you to hurry up and complete the combination. Go!
Roger!
Bird Go!
Ken, what the hell happened for us to get called out all of a sudden?
l don't know either.
The orders from Dr. Nambu are to stand by at sea.
Maybe the turtle monster showed up again.
This is the God Phoenix. Combination is complete and we're standing by.
The manned spaceship carrying the Earth Compact device we developed
has disappeared from its water landing site in the South Pacific.
Earth Compact device? What's that?
The Earth Compact is a device that detects many resources
from outside the Earth's atmosphere,
including the uranium that sleeps within the Earth,
and then records the information its memory bank.
Geez, l thought it would be something like one of Sis's makeup things.
What a simple boy you are.
Something like that wouldn't be carried on a spaceship, would it?
Members of the Science Ninja Team, hurry to the water landing site immediately
and search for the two pilots and the Earth Compact.
l pray for your success.
Roger!
Go!
Everything went well, Commander.
Good work.
Put that cassette into the computer for me right away.
Look.
This is showing the locations of uranium and the many other energy sources in Earth's crust.
All right, l'll report to Lord Katse at headquarters.
Lord Berg Katse,
we've carried out the plan to seize the spaceship Mantle 8.
l'm respectfully sending all of the data.
All right, good work.
l think l'll ask our Leader's opinion right away.
Berg Katse, listen well.
Uranium and the other energy sources on this Earth are only present in small amounts.
But all the countries of the world are seeking uranium.
As are we.
We will steal all of the uranium on this Earth and conquer the world.
Berg Katse, do this!
Construct a large underwater uranium plant for us
above the largest uranium deposit on Earth.
Yes, Sir!
Okay, there it is.
All right, charge towards the place that's turned yellow.
You got it.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Jun, this is no time to be admiring the scenery.
The Science Ninja Team can't afford to be doing that.
Ooh, scary.
Prepare to operate underwater radar!
Roger.
Ken, the radioactivity meter is showing abnormal readings.
What?
Ken, the control stick isn't working!
lt's a whirlpool! We're being dragged into a large whirlpool!
Okay, leave it to me!
The center of a whirlpool is surprisingly calm compared to its edge.
Okay, everybody buckle your seatbelts so you don't get flung around.
Hang on tight.
l feel sick!
Ryu, Joe, on my signal, pull hard on the control sticks!
Roger.
Roger!
Okay, here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one...
Go!
We did it! We're saved.
So that's it.
Jun, show me the records for the radioactivity measurements.
Okay.
There was abnormal radioactivity at the same time as that strong light from before.
Someone planted a nuclear bomb on the ocean floor, l'm sure of it.
What? A nuclear bomb?
That's right.
Nuclear explosions underwater are prohibited by international law,
but someone's done it anyway.
Okay, dive into the ocean again.
Huh? We're diving down there again, big brother?
Don't worry. lt's unlikely something that will happen again.

Ken, what's that?
So that was what was behind the tidal wave?
Ryu, put an infrared filter on the screen for me.
Okay.
Wow, that thing is huge!
lt's a monster-sized aircraft carrier.
lt's Galactor.
The spaceship was kidnapped by that underwater aircraft carrier.
l'm sure of it.
They've got the Earth Compact, and they're after a huge uranium deposit!
All right, we'll just blast some missiles at them!
Don't do anything stupid!
Don't lose your grip.
The pilots of the spaceship might be prisoners inside that aircraft carrier.
Ryu, move the God Phoenix to someplace where they won't see it.
l'm going to sneak into that aircraft carrier
and rescue the spaceship pilots and the Earth Compact device.
l'll go too!
l'll be more inconspicuous alone, so that's better. Don't worry.
Stand by here until we receive our next orders.
Damn, guess that means l'm not wanted.
Don't regret it later!
Jinpei...
Bird Go!
So l was right.
How good of you to come.
You called yourself Gatchaman of the Science Ninja Team, didn't you?
So you've taken the trouble of coming only to be captured?
Damn...
Bird Go!
Bird Run!
You're not too bad.
Now!
Stop this insolence, Gatchaman!
Can't you see them?
Be a good boy if you want the two pilots to stay alive!
Hostages? l guess l've got no choice but to give up.
Lock him up in the ship's hold or someplace.
Later l'll have him tell me all about Dr. Nambu and the identity of the Science Ninja.
Even corpses are useful sometimes.
How dare you do something so cruel?
There should still be more of them.
Stand strict guard and catch the other ones! Understood?
Yes, Sir!
Now, how about you lead me to your commander?
Jinpei, you came at a good time!
Big brother Joe told me to come because it'd be risky if you were on your own.
Well? Now you get that you need me here, don't you?
Yeah, l get it.
Now tell us. Confess!
Where did you hide the Earth Compact?!
Tell me! Tell me!
Where is the Earth Compact?! Tell me!
Tell me! Tell me!
lt hurts...
lt's inside the computer.
Big brother, l found it!
You failed again, didn't you?
Lord Berg Katse!
You imbecile!
To think you sacrificed the Turtle King,
and now the underwater aircraft carrier is destroyed too!
Look! Our Leader is angered as well!
Take responsibility, Commander.
There's only one way left.
Ram the Turtle King into the God Phoenix!
Yes, Sir.
Ken, we've told Dr. Nambu everything.
All right, to the surface!
Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
ln this way, the Science Ninja Team achieved victory.
But even then the Galactor group was steadily implementing the next plan
in their attempt at world conquest.
Hang in there, Gatchaman!
Dare da? Dare da? Dare da?
Sora no kanata ni odoru kage
Shiroi tsubasa no Gatchaman
lnochi wo kakete tobidaseba
Kagaku ninpou hi no tori da
Tobe tobe tobe Gatchaman
Yuke yuke yuke Gatchaman
Chikyuu wa hitotsu
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
lnochi wo kakete tobidaseba
Kagaku ninpou hi no tori da
Tobe tobe tobe Gatchaman
Yuke yuke yuke Gatchaman
Chikyuu wa hitotsu
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
A giant mummy is awakened from its ancient sleep by Galactor.
Today the young boy Makoto, who has had a long and anxious wait for his father's return,
stands in the rainy airport, just as he has for days.
When Galactor reaches its evil claws out towards the secret of Uranirase,
Gatchaman's desire for justice burns.
We'll show the activities of the Science Ninja Team
in their showdown with the rampaging giant mummy next time in:
"The Giant Mummy That Summons Storms"
Look forward to it!
