The Giant Mummy That Summons Storms
Japan at last. I can finally see Makoto.
Makoto's a cute kid.
The problem is he's selfish.
He doesn't have a mother, so...
I spoil him unintentionally.
There's not a bit of turbulence today. It's a perfect day for flying.
That's a strange cloud.
What is this cloud?!
Check our course on the radar.
It's not working!
What?!
SOS! SOS! This is 703.
This is 703. SOS!
This is the control tower. Come in. Come in, 703.
SOS! SOS! This is 703. It's a storm!
Oh, something white is...
Captain, what happened?
Come in, Captain!
Is it an accident?
SOS! SOS! This is 703. It's a storm! Oh, something white is...
A storm? I can't believe it.
And what did he mean by something white?
Look at this.
These are the crash sites of the airplane accidents
that have been happening one after another lately.
They've been progressing northward from that first site in the desert.
I haven't heard of a typhoon moving along this course though.
It's strange, isn't it?
Yes, after investigating the weather conditions on the days of the accidents,
I can't believe it was a storm.
But during this accident, the captain clearly said so.
A storm, and something white.
Where are you going? This conversation is just beginning.
I know, you're going to tell me to investigate the connection
between the storm and the white thing, right?
So he resembles his father?
The boy truly has good instincts.
Give that back!
This badge is mine, you thief!
Thief?
Excuse me, has this child done something?
I'm his uncle.
Oh, no, it's nothing.
Makoto, if you don't wait like a good boy, Papa won't come back.
Oh, he's here!
Did that boy's father go abroad or something?
His father died in a plane crash. He was the pilot.
The one from the other day then?
Yes, he firmly believes his father will come home.
Every day he says he's coming to the airport, and he won't listen to reason.
I'm sorry, I should've said this earlier. My name is Tetsuro Takahara.
I'm Ken the Eagle. Pleased to meet you.
I know the mysterious crashes are happening around here, but...
Here it is.
What is that thing?!
It's a mummy!
Bird...
Darn it, he got away on me.
When we investigated the data you gathered, Platonium X was detected.
What? The thing you were hesitant to use because of the intense energy it releases?
That's right. Galactor is using that in the mummy.
Isn't there any way to stop it?
Like a neutralizer for Platonium X or something?
There is. There's just one.
It's the Uranirase that Dr. Tetsuro Takahara invented.
Uranirase...
Dr. Takahara...
Galactor knows that too. They're sure to go after him.
Dr. Takahara, that's right, I met him at that airfield.
Makoto!
Hey, it's that guy from before.
Thank you for your kindness the other day.
Makoto, you'll catch a cold, you know. Thank you for your kindness the other day.
Makoto, you'll catch a cold, you know.
It's a problem. He says he's got to come here, and he just won't listen.
But I had a dream!
In the dream, Papa said he'd come back on a rainy day.
So today Papa's going to come back on an airplane!
It's Papa. Papa's coming home!
Papa!
He believes his father is going to come home.
In the face of that, I can't bear to tell him...
It's Papa! It's Papa!
Papa!
Yay, it's Papa! Papa came back!
It's my little brother, it's really him. I can't believe it.
Papa!
Papa! Papa!
Papa!
Oh, Makoto!
Just like that mummy came back to life,
the pilot who should be dead has returned to life.
Announcement: The flight to New York...
When I came to, I was drifting alone on a wide sea.
Luckily, I was rescued by a foreign cargo ship passing through the area.
But for me, the pilot, to be the only survivor...
I don't know how to apologize to the bereaved families.
Professor, what are your feelings about this, as an older brother?
Even now I can hardly believe it.
But the one who's the happiest about it is probably Makoto here.
What are you doing there?
You've disguised yourself as my little brother very well.
You're an imposter, aren't you?!
It's impressive that you've seen through me.
It was that ring.
My little brother hated it more than anyone else when men wore rings.
So even I have failed.
Who the hell are you?
Don't be too shocked. I'm the head of Galactor, the great Berg Katse!

Makoto...
If you value the kid's life, you'll hand over the Uranirase.
Uranirase?
That's right, the Uranirase that you invented. We want it.
What's wrong? Get it fast, or...
Wait!
How dare you, you bastard?!
I'm your opponent, Galactor! Come on!
All right, then!
Don't be mean to Papa!
Just you wait!
Dammit!
Papa!
Papa went away!
It's your fault.
You were mean to him!
You jerk!
Makoto...
I'm sorry, Makoto.
Just who are you?
I'm sorry, I should've said this earlier.
The truth is, I've been asked by Dr. Nambu to get that Uranirase.
By Nambu, I see.
He just contacted me about the Uranirase.
The bad guys would pay no attention to the ornament of an innocent child.
The Uranirase is inside this badge.
I won't give it to you!
This is mine! It's something important I got from my papa!
Makoto! If you aren't a good boy, Papa really won't come back.
Makoto, we need that to call your papa back too.
I'll bring your papa back for you for sure.
Really? You promise?
What's that?
This is G-1 , over.
Ken, the giant mummy showed up at the airport.
What?
G-1 , hurry to the airport with the Uranirase.
Launch the God Phoenix!
Roger!
Bird Go!
What is that thing?
Makoto, the airport is...
He's not here.
Could Makoto have gone to the airport?
Papa, I don't want you to go!
I don't want you to ride off in a plane anymore!
Makoto, no! That man's not your papa!
Oh, this is awful. The airport's a sea of fire.
Ken, there's nothing to hesitate about, just blast some Bird Missiles at it.
No, he's a mummy monster who's taken all of those missile hits without batting an eyelash.
Even if we fire Bird Missiles, it won't do anything.
The only thing that can help is this Uranirase.
But how do we use it on that monster?
Ryu, approach again.
We're looking for the part of the mummy that controls it!
It's no use. I can't get any closer than this.
Which part would they have put the Platonium X in?
Riot! Riot, mummy monster!
Until the day we conquer the Earth, riot and run wild!
It's his back!
Ken! A child jumped out onto the runway!
What?!
Makoto!
Papa, where are you?
Don't hesitate! Trample the kid!
Makoto, wait!
It's dangerous, Sir! Makoto, wait!
It's dangerous, Sir! Please let me go, the child is...
We can't let you go! Please let me go, the child is...
Papa! Papa!
This is bad. That kid's going to get trampled by the mummy!
Ryu, get us close to the mummy.
Ken!
What are you going to do, big brother?
Makoto, watch out!
Bird Flight!
Bird Run!
Yay, he did it! That's Ken for you!
Our mission is over now. Come on, let's pull up.
Foiled by Gatchaman again?
Hey, it's Papa!
Papa, where are you going? I don't want you to go!
Dammit, so there was a rocket hidden in its body?
No, Papa, I don't want you to go!
Makoto...
Liar!
You said you'd bring Papa back, didn't you?!
You jerk! Liar!
Makoto, that wasn't Papa. There's a group called Galactor...
It's all right, Doctor. Makoto believes. Please don't hurt him.
I'll gladly be hated by Makoto.
Ken, why are you...
Because he's the same as me. My father was a pilot too.
He's been missing since he was in an accident ten years ago.
But I don't want to think that my father is dead.
I'm sure he's alive somewhere.
I'm sure I'll be able to see him someday. I believe that.
Papa, you'll come home, right? You'll definitely come home, right?
Papa!
Makoto, please find happiness.
As he prayed this, Gatchaman's hatred for Galactor,
who stole the boy Makoto's father, blazed up anew in his heart.
Hang in there, Gatchaman!
Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
The shadow dancing high in the sky
It'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
The Iron Beast Mechadegon, created by Galactor,
is stealing oil resources and causing earthquakes all over.
Because of that, the Director of the Earthquake Research Center dies.
The daughter that the Director leaves behind mistakes Ken
for a Galactor member and attacks him.
Gatchaman, feeling responsible, takes the girl aboard the God Phoenix
and lets her take revenge on Mechadegon.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman “Revenge on the Iron Beast Mechadegon”
Look forward to it!
