The Secret of the Crescent Coral Reef
Galactor, the demons that disrupt the world's peace,
has been increasing its power more and more and rioting all over the Earth.
Dr. Nambu, in order to protect the Earth from the terrible Galactor,
has decided to construct a secret underwater base for the Science Ninja Team.
The bottom of the sea is always so beautiful and peaceful.
It is. When you're this deep in the ocean, you can't even imagine pollution, can you?
Wouldn't it be nice if the whole Earth were always this beautiful, and not just the sea?
The construction of this underwater base was planned with that hope too.
I'd like Dr. Nambu to make a fine underwater base as soon as possible.
Yes, that's what our mission is for. It's worth doing.
What's that?
It's a monster, a monster sea anemone!
Thanks, Mister.
You're amazing, Mister. You're like Gatchaman!
You're cool. You really look just like Gatchaman!
Have you guys ever seen Gatchaman?
I haven't seen him, but he's got white wings and he's a champion of justice.
I'd like to meet him, even just once.
I'm a big Gatchaman fan too. I know a lot about him.
Hey, now...
Who's the coolest one on the Science Ninja Team?
That's definitely G-1 , Gatchaman. He's the leader after all!
Then, who's number two?
G-3, she's a cool girl, isn't she?!
Darn it! Then who do you like third best?
The G-2 guy.
Then who's number four?
G-5, the fat guy.
The G-4 shrimp comes in last at number five.
Dang it, I ended up dead last!
You guys don't know much about them, do you?
Sheesh...
To think that I, the 18th successor to the lga Ninja,
am the least popular person on the Science Ninja Team. That stings.
Jinpei, you're doing well as you are. Don't let it get to you.
All right, this time I'll do it!
I'm gonna become the most popular, number one!
Huh? What did you say?
Oh, nothing.
Urgent orders for Gatchaman,
gather the team and launch the God Phoenix immediately.
Roger!
I've been waiting for this. I'm going to be the most popular!
Okay!
Bird Go!
In order to wipe out all of Galactor, we need our own secret base.
This base is the base for the God Phoenix, and it's also the Science Ninja Team's fortress.
Oh, thanks. I'm going to have a fortress.
I'm really something of a prince.
An impetuous prince who eats like a pig.
Grrr...
But we have to assume that Galactor already knows
about the construction of this secret base.
As early as ten days ago, several of our submarines were wiped out by someone.
Damn, that Galactor scum.
Clearly, they're disrupting the construction of our secret base.
There's an uninhabited island at point G in the South Pacific.
Everyone, you will patrol that area.
So the secret base will be built near the uninhabited island?
G-4!
Yes, Sir.
Galactor will definitely show up.
Search the sea and skies around the island.
But are we just going to search, Doctor?
That's right. After your search, report in.
Dang it, then my chance to be number one is...
What?
Uh, nothing...
Gatchaman, I've said this many times, but we must not start a battle with Galactor.
Yes, Sir.
Well then, everyone, I pray for your success.
Damn, so we're just patrolling again?
How boring.
I wonder if Galactor will really show up?
Ken, it sounded like the doctor had something in mind, didn't it?
Yeah.
Something is up.
That's the island, the uninhabited one that the doctor was talking about.
All right, then let's try circling around this area.
As you can see Leader, Gatchaman's God Phoenix has appeared
near the uninhabited island, and it seems they've begun patrolling.
Leader, Dr. Nambu's secret base will be near here. I'm certain of it.
Now that they've shown themselves, we have to assume that.
Yes, Sir.
Find it. Find Dr. Nambu's secret base as soon as possible.
If it is completed, Galactor will be in danger.
Yes, Sir!
If you're scared of a shark like that one,
it's no wonder you're in fifth place on the popularity scale.
You blabbed, didn't you, big brother?!
Just you wait!
Come on, Sis, it's a sea anemone!
If you're scared of something like that, your popularity will drop.
Jinpei, there's no sea anemone that huge in the world.
It's definitely a monster.
I've never seen one this big either.
If we get hit by those tentacles, it's over. They've got poison in them.
Ryu, avoid it and get past.
Roger.
Damn, it's coming after us.
This is no ordinary sea anemone.
If it's not ordinary, what is it, big brother?
A monster.
Don't scare me like that!
It's definitely Galactor.
They must be searching for the secret base.
This sea anemone must be what wiped out the submarine too.
If I know it's Galactor I'm up against, I'm not scared.
This is my chance!
Jinpei, you're seriously geared up for this.
Yeah, I'm geared up! I've got a goal.
Okay, Ryu, put up a smoke screen.
Roger!
The G-4 shrimp comes in last at number five.
Those jerks, making fun of me...
Okay, then...

That Jinpei, he stole a march on us.
What?
He wanted to distinguish himself and become popular.
Then he went to where the sea anemone monster is?
Yeah, let's go!
The God Phoenix searched the sea around the island for Jinpei's G-4,
but in the end, they were unable to find him.
They tried calling him with their bracelets, of course, but there was no answer.
Now several days have passed.
I wonder if Jinpei was caught?
That's the only conclusion I can come to.
That runt, giving us worries we don't need.
Knowing him, I'll bet he's alive somewhere.
Jinpei...
Where the heck did that monster sea anemone scum go?
G-4, come in, G-4.
As if I could go back without distinguishing myself after running away.
This is a matter of my dignity.
Where did you go, you monster sea anemone scum?
Come on out and show yourself, damn you!
Huh?
This is it! The secret base that the doctor built!
How nice of you to come, Science Ninja.
Thanks for going to the trouble of bringing me inside this monster.
I've been looking for you guys.
Well, well, quite an energetic little shrimp you are.
But you're an idiot.
You're the one that led us to Dr. Nambu's secret base.
We've been following you,
using this sea anemone-shaped fort so that you wouldn't catch on.
Naturally, we'll blow up the secret base.
Dammit!
Why you! I'm not a fish, I'll have you know!
Whether we eat you boiled or fried is up to our individual tastes.
But before we cook you up, we'll blow up Dr. Nambu's secret base,
so watch closely, runt.
And I was so close to messing you up good too!
Depart for the secret base!
This turned out really bad.
I ended up showing them where the important secret base is.
I was stupid, thinking I wanted to be popular.
This is G-4. This is G-4. Come in.
This is G-4.
Jinpei, you're alive!
The monster is trying to blow up the secret base.
What? The secret base?
It's been discovered by Galactor.
Quick! Come quick!
Okay, hold on, Jinpei. Stay on the line.
Ken, he's southwest of us.
Okay, Ryu, take us to the surface and then full speed ahead.
Roger!
So this is Dr. Nambu's secret base?
It's dangerous to get close. We'll fire from here.
Ready!
Oh, God...
Damn, are we too late?!
Ken, Jinpei is...
Ryu!
Right, got it!
You little bastard!
It's Galactor's victory this time, Gatchaman.
Behold, I've blown up your secret base.
Next time I'll do away with you all for sure!
I'm sorry, Doctor.
It's my fault, because I ran away without telling anyone.
So the secret base was...
Members of the Science Ninja Team, you did well.
Thanks to you all, we completed your fortress, the secret underwater base.
But Galactor...
That was a fake base.
Then does that mean we were tricked too, Doctor?
Exactly.
While Galactor was following the Ninja Team around,
we were able to complete the base magnificently.
Good job, G-4.
I feel weird about this.
Doctor, where is the completed base?
Directly below the God Phoenix.
Doctor, I can't see anything but a crescent-shaped coral reef.
That's the secret base.
It can be freely moved anywhere.
Now, come, members of the Science Ninja Team!
The Science Ninja Team's secret underwater base has been finished.
Galactor, you disrupters of world peace, give us your best shot.
As long as there is Gatchaman, as long as there is the Science Ninja Team,
we will protect our beautiful Earth to the last!
Dare da? Dare da? Dare da?
Sora no kanata ni odoru kage

Yuke yuke yuke Gatchaman

Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
One day, a large number of meteorites fall toward Earth from the dark side of the Moon.
In pursuit of the solution to the mystery of these meteorites,
Gatchaman and the others head for the Moon.
But what they see there is a giant object falling toward Earth.
What is this huge object that appears from the dark side of the Moon?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, “The Devil from the Moon”
Look forward to it!
