Galactor's Giant Air Show
Airplanes have progressed the most since the start of the 20th century.
The lnternational Science Organization, centering the project around Dr. Nambu,
has created a brand-new type of non-polluting airplane.
Today is the day it will be tested.
Right now, one of those planes is about to take off on a test flight.
Naturally, the test pilot is Ken the Eagle.
All right, Ken, if you're successful on this test flight,
we may be able to resolve the pollution of our skies worldwide.
l'm counting on you to do well.
Yes, Doctor, l'll give it all l've got.
This is Ken. The test plane is prepared for takeoff.
Control tower, please instruct me, over.
No anomalies on the radar. Take off.
Roger!
That's big brother for you. He's good, isn't he?
Keep it up!
This is the test plane. l'm now in the air.
What's that? An airplane?!
lt'll be a close call! Ken!
Big brother Ken! Look out!
l am Katsenberg, the steel demon!
Katsenberg?
Ken! What in the world happened?
Dammit! What happened, big brother?!
Ken!
Look out, Doctor, this is dangerous! Let's get away from here fast!
Hey, Ken! Are you all right?
l'm all right.
More importantly, that monster said his name was Katsenberg,
but just who do you suppose he is, Doctor?
Katsenberg?
Katse...
l get it. lt's that Berg Katse bastard!
That's right!
He's the only person who would do something this horrible.
Yes, l understand then why he came to destroy the powerful new plane
l took such pains to build.
Then our enemy is the Galactor group again! Damn it!
Doctor, please allow the God Phoenix to launch right away!
All right, Science Ninja Team, move out.
Launch the God Phoenix immediately!
Yes, Sir!
Five seconds to liftoff.
Four, three, two,
one, zero!
Oh, there he is, that Galactor scum.
Hey, he's coming towards us.
Ryu, watch your piloting.
Do you think you can win against the scientific power of Galactor?
Come, then, God Phoenix!
Dammit, how dare you mock us?!
Damn, l'll bring you down!
Bird Missiles don't work on it!
lt sounds like he got the tail wing!
lt's unthinkable for the God Phoenix to be broken.
What is that whip made out of?!
l'll let you off with only this much damage today.
l'll leave the rest to enjoy the next time we meet.
Farewell!
lt's no use. His speed is incredible.
Damn!
That's a Galactor secret weapon. Our own lack of caution is our worst enemy.
This is formidable.
That isn't just an ordinary steel whip after all, is it, Doctor?
No, based on the investigation l've just done,
it seems the Galactor group has invented something incredible.
This is a super-metal called Whisker.
Whiskey?
Not whiskey, Whisker.
What's Whisker? l've never heard of it.
Recently, things stronger than steel are being developed one after another.
Whisker is stronger than any other metal.
They say it's a super-metal, a hundred times, no, a thousand times sturdier than the others.
So that strange plane and the whip are both made of Whisker?
Then it makes sense that the Bird Missiles didn't work on it.
l had no idea that Galactor was already developing Whisker.
There's no way we can win if this weapon is used on us.
The world will end up being conquered by Galactor.
Then Doctor, we just have to make weapons out of this Whisker too.
lsn't that right?
Yeah, yeah!
We just can't do that.
The lnternational Science Organization has been researching it for many years,
but unfortunately we can't make it yet.
Galactor's science is even more advanced than ours.
Does that mean we're going to keep being defeated by them?
No, there is one way.
We'll find Galactor's secret factory, breach it,
and destroy the Whisker production facility.
Gatchaman immediately began searching all of the world's mines.
Today is already the third day.
Ken, that's a huge amount of magnetic force!
There's probably a large mine below here.
Okay, Ryu, let's get in close and investigate. Prepare to descend!
Roger.
Oh, no, this is it! This is where Galactor's secret factory is!
Ken! We're going to keep diving!
Wait! At this rate, we'll be killed.
We'll pretend we've been shot down and infiltrate the secret factory.
Damn, so l have to stay behind all by myself again?
Okay, we're descending!
Now! Let's go!
We've brought down the enemy plane.
Excellent.
How's that for you?
You can't do anything in the face of our science, can you?

The secret Galactor factory that Gatchaman was looking for
is underground, deep in the mountains where no one lives.
The Science Ninja Team thinks they have smoothly infiltrated this underground factory,
but there is no way Galactor could miss them.
That's Galactor for you. What a factory.
Okay, let's plant an explosive and blow them up!
ldiot.
Just try to collapse that furnace.
The melted Whisker will pour down on us and we'll kick the bucket just like that.
Oh, Ken, what should we do?
Just like the doctor said, destroying the computer that controls this factory
along with the nuclear reactor is probably best after all.
Big brother! What's that?
Okay.
All right...
Bastard...
Jun and l will find the computer.
Jinpei and Joe, you guys destroy the nuclear reactor.
Got it?
Okay!
Jun, bet you're happy to be together with Ken, huh?
ldiot!
Joe, do a good job of it.
Yeah, you too.
Looks like it's below us.
lt's kind of creepy, isn't it? lt's too quiet.
l'm going.
Wait here until l give you the word, Jun.
Okay.
Ken, look out!
Bird Run!
This is Ken. Joe, Jinpei, come in. Come in.
This is Joe. l'm in front of the nuclear reactor.
We're about to start operations.
Now, let's hurry up and waste this thing.
Stop!
You've got admirable courage, infiltrating this secret factory.
Or rather, it must mean you don't know your place.
We knew you guys snuck in.
Let's have you drop your weapons quietly.
Damn, so we were tricked?
Then Ken and Jun are also...
We've finally found it.
lf we throw this out of order, the entire factory will be paralyzed.
l'll give it a try.
Let's see...
Jun, do it fast.
Ninja Technique, Tornado Fighter!
Oh, no, the computer was destroyed! This is bad!
That's big brother for you. Looks like it was a success.
This is no time to be impressed, Jinpei.
Come on, we can't lose either.
Here we go!
Jun, climb fast!
Ken!
You've got some nerve, destroying my computer.
All right, l'll shower you with thanks for it!
lt's a pity for you, but this time l'm ripping you to pieces.
Jun, help us out!
Now you've done it.
All right...
That's ...
Now!
When did he...
Dammit!
Ken, wait!
The mission is over. Let's get out of here quick!
G-5! G-5! This is Ken. Come help us, quick.
Roger!
What about Ken and Jun?
They're not here yet.
Oh, here they are.
Jun, hurry!
Damn, if we don't escape fast, the missiles will explode. Ken, hurry!
Ryu, get us out of here quick!
Roger!
What's going on?
We're being pulled down! The magnetism is too strong!
Switch to jet propulsion!
That's right!
You Gatchaman scum, how dare you interfere with my plans?!
All right, l will pay you back for this! Just remember that!
The fearsome Whisker that Galactor invented was no match for Gatchaman.
But Berg Katse hasn't given up yet.
What kind of secret weapon will he create next?
Go, Gatchaman! For the sake of world peace!
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
Galactor, creates a fearsome stronghold in the shape of a sea anemone,
and begins to attack the secret underwater base Dr. Nambu built.
Gatchaman and the others go to face it.
All alone, Jinpei the Swallow sneaks into the stronghold.
But what awaits Jinpei there is...
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, "The Secret of the Crescent Coral Reef"
Look forward to it!
