Revenge on the Iron Beast Mechadegon
The next agent of evil sent by the Galactor group,
which is trying to take possession of the world,
is the iron beast Mechadegon.
We've sucked up all of the world's oil.
All right, infiltrate the next target site.
With our iron beast, Mechadegon,
Galactor will obtain all of the Earth's underground resources!
lt's Ken, Doctor. ls something up?
Yes.
l think you already know this, but...
Underground resources in countries in the Biabrasandler region
are mysteriously disappearing.
And for some reason, there are apparently earthquakes when it happens.
You're telling me to investigate what's behind this, right?
Yes, Galactor must be involved; l'm sure of it.
l understand. This time l'll locate their headquarters.
Ken, where are you going?
First l'll go see the director of the Oriental Earthquake Research Center,
and make inquiries.
Hello, sorry to keep you waiting.
Pleased to meet you. l'm Ken the Eagle.
l'm Nakahara, the director of this facility.
Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you.
So, what can l help you with?
l'd like to ask you about the cause of the earthquakes
that are happening all over the world lately.
Well, we're also using everything we've got to investigate that, but...
ln the end, we don't even know where the hypocenters are, and what's more,
for some reason, the seismograph is always broken right before the earthquakes.
This is just my reasoning, but l think these aren't simple natural phenomena.
lt's likely that some physical being is causing the earthquakes.
What do you mean, some physical being?
lt's an earthquake!
This is dangerous. Let's run for it!
Be careful! Everyone run for the forest across from here!
Bird Go!
Director!
Director! Director!
Director!
Dammit...
That's right. lt was Galactor.
l joined the Science Ninja Team thinking,
"l'll make the people of this world happier, even if only a little."
And yet l couldn't save you, and l let you end up like this.
l didn't abandon you. l did my best to try to save you.
Please understand.
Galactor, you murdered my papa!
Galactor?
l'm not Galactor.
Then why did you have Papa's wristwatch?
That's because...
You are Galactor after all. You're the one who murdered Papa!
Stop this! l'm not an enemy!
l don't believe you!
So the Director had a cute daughter like this?
Director, l promise your death will not be in vain.
l'm responsible for the death of this girl's father.
l don't agree with that, but...
l definitely understand why you're upset.
This girl must be hurt more than l am right now.
No matter what l have to do, l want to let her avenge her father.
Please take her in until then.
l'll take her. For your sake, l'll be glad to.
l'll contact you again. l'm counting on you.
Hey, Ken, wait!
He doesn't understand a woman's feelings.
Stupid Ken! You blockhead!
Under orders from Dr. Nambu to catch the thing he'd seen at the Earthquake Research Center,
Ken is immediately sent to investigate using infrared rays.
Dr. Nambu, l'm starting now.
Understood.
This is Ken. Right now l'm not getting any readings.
Listen, Ken, go a little more towards the mountains.
Roger!
Maybe l'll try changing my direction.
Doctor! l got a reading!
So that's it. That's the source of the earthquakes then?
For a little while now, a strange airplane has been observing us from the air.
What?
Such impudence.
All right, fire a rocket and move us away!
Yes, Sir! Firing rocket immediately!
Looks like the enemy's gotten pretty flustered.
Oh, no, it's not working!
What's wrong?!
Bird Go!
So, you've finally shown your true self, Galactor scum!
That jerk...
Doctor, l'm sorry to say l let him escape.
You ran away fast, Galactor scum!

l speculate that, in all likelihood, this centipede is the largest mecha in history.
lt's virtually certain that the world's underground resources
are being carried to Galactor's headquarters by this centipede.
Then it's like l thought.
Ken, let's look at a map.
The place where the centipede disappeared...
lt was here, right?
Yes, Sir.
ln which case, it's probable that
Galactor is after the underground resources closest to this point.
Doctor, that reminds me.
There's a science laboratory not 200 kilometers from this point, right?
Exactly, Ken.
Galactor must be after the ions being preserved underground beneath the laboratory;
l'm sure of it.
l'll make emergency contact with the peacekeeping force and the mobile troops.
You go to the site with the Science Ninja Team right away.
Yes, Sir.
All right, this time l won't let it get away!
Hold it.
l heard about the situation from Jun.
l'm saying this in earnest,
the Science Ninja Team must not be moved by anyone's heart.
Remember this, when that happens, you will have already ceased to be a ninja.
Ninja must not be moved by anyone's heart.
Killed my father, killed my father...
Ken, what do we do about that girl?
What's wrong, Ken?
lf l bring her with me, she'll know that we're the Science Ninja Team.
Bring her with you. l'll take responsibility!
Bird Go!
lt's no good, the enemy's breaking in!
All units, commence attack!
You imbecile! To think you were discovered by the Science Ninja Team!
Yes, Sir, l humbly apologize.
Demolish the God Phoenix immediately!
lt's all right. They can't win against our lron Beast Mechadegon.
Consider your lives forfeit if you fail!
Yes, Sir!
All right, prepare for battle!
Galactor scum, this time l won't let you get away.
l'm sorry. l had no idea you were Gatchaman.
lt's okay, as long as you understand.
More importantly, look at this.
That iron centipede is the one who killed your papa.
So it was Galactor after all, wasn't it?
Poor Papa...
Now, let's do our best, everyone!
Hey, it went back to the way it was!
He's got some nerve.
There's no way to beat a monster like this.
Galactor scum!
l can't take this. l'll blast a Bird Missile at that centipede's head!
Joe, don't !
Ken, stop him quick!
Joe, stop!
Let me go!
Stop! Let me go!
Stop! Joe!
Are you going to lecture me again?
No, that's not it.
Pushing that button...
ls this girl's job!
This is the God Phoenix. Come in, please.
lt's Nambu. What is it, Ken?
We've gotten close to the enemy.
We're going to launch a Bird Missile.
You idiot!
That's something you use in an emergency. lt's not for attacking.
You're the leader of the Science Ninja Team!
l won't allow you to break the rules for no good reason.
Ken, have you forgotten the goal of the Science Ninja Team?
Pursue them as far as they go and...
Hey!
Ken, you're not serious, are you?
l'm completely serious.
Now, push the button, and avenge your papa.
Come on, quickly!
Come on.
Okay, Ryu, charge!
Roger!
Come on, quickly!
But for my sake, you...
All right, get right up close to them and fire the laser beam.
1 ,000 meters...
We're 800 meters away.
You don't have to worry about me.
Work up the courage you had that time
when you attacked me thinking l was Galactor!
Come on!
500 meters away.
400 meters...
300 meters...
200 meters...
100 meters...
80 meters...
50 meters...
Yay, we did it! We did it!
Pull yourself together.
Thank goodness, right?
l'm sure your papa is happy too.
Thank you, Gatchaman.
Thank goodness...
Ken!
l know, Doctor.
l told this girl the real identity of the Science Ninja Team,
and l disobeyed orders,
and furthermore l let a Bird Missile be launched.
l'm no longer qualified to be a member of the Science Ninja Team.
But l just couldn't calm my feelings without doing that.
As Gatchaman, who lives for justice...
Goodbye.
Hold it, Ken.
lt's not just that l need you.
Everyone who wishes for peace in this world needs you.
That alone l want you never to forget.
Then, then, Doctor...
Yes.
l'll never tell anyone who the Science Ninja Team is. l promise.
Thank you.
Big brother!
Ken! Thank goodness, right?
Thank you. l'll count on you guys from now on too.
A refreshing breeze blew in the hearts of Gatchaman and the others.
They enjoyed to the fullest the first peace in a long time.
But it probably won't last for very long.
Dare da? Dare da? Dare da?

Galactor sets up a base in the region of the sea called the Underwater Graveyard,
and from there it launches a ghost fleet at the underwater development base
built by the lnternational Science Organization.
Meanwhile, the Science Ninja Team flys to the underwater development base
on orders from Dr. Nambu.
The Science Ninja Team exposes the mystery ghost fleet's true identity,
and confronts Galactor.
Next time, "The Ghost Fleet from Hell"
Look forward to it!
