The Devil from the Moon
Berg Katse, the time has finally come for our conquest of Earth.
Our great scientific powers have given us the capability to conquer this Earth.
Do it, Katse! Show our power to the humans now!
Yes, Sir, I understand.
The preparations are complete, Lord Katse. Please give us further instructions.
Good! Now is the time when we will show our power to the whole world.
Don't fail.
Yes, Sir!
What's that?!
They're meteorites!
Help!
The International Science Organization,
in order to solve the mystery of the many meteorites falling around the globe,
launches observation rockets from spaceports throughout the world.
However, an unexpected event is awaiting them.
SOS, SOS. This is the space rocket.
SOS, SOS!
This is the space... Help me!
This is the command center. What happened? Come in, space rocket!
Come in! Come in! Come in, space rocket!
How horrible!
For us to lose communication with all the rockets we launch...
What in the world has happened?
Director, the rockets were most likely all destroyed after being attacked by someone.
But then where are they coming from?
We won't be able to solve the mystery of the meteorites, will we?!
I'm analyzing the composition of the meteorites right now.
I see. I'll count on you.
I'm telling you, leave it to me. I'll beat 'em to a pulp.
It's got to be Galactor, right, big brother?
No, Jinpei, we can't say that for sure yet.
The only thing we do know is...
What?
That if things keep going like this, the Earth will be totally destroyed.
Dammit! It's Galactor, no mistake about that!
Dr. Nambu's taking awhile, isn't he?
Hi, sorry for making you wait.
I was just analyzing the composition of the meteorites, you see.
And? Did you find something out, Doctor?
Yes, we gathered samples from fallen meteorites all over the world,
and we discovered that they're all Moon rocks.
Wow, Moon rocks?
Doctor, have you contacted the spaceport on the Moon?
Communications with it are impossible.
All the functions of the Moon base and all of the artificial satellites
have gone completely dead.
Doctor! Please leave this to us.
We'll go as far as we can in the God Phoenix and investigate.
Yes, please do. Be very careful.
Roger.
Come on, everyone, the Science Ninja Team is mobilizing!
Okay!
Okay, let's go.
We're going to be under a lot of pressure, so everyone prepare yourselves.
We know, we know. Let's hurry up and go, big brother!
Ryu, take us up!
Roger.
It looks like we've exited the atmosphere.
That sucked.
How pretty! I've never seen the Moon so close up before.
They're meteorites!
They're coming this way!
Ken, it looks like those meteorites are headed towards Earth.
So this was how it was set up.
I can't think of anyone but Galactor who would do such a thing.
Those Science Ninja Team scum look surprised.
But they've still got a bigger surprise waiting for them.
Power up the guidance system. Call back the scorpion rocket!
Yes, Sir!
If we give the scorpion rocket the energy of these radio waves,
it will become a mammoth monster and wreak havoc on Earth.
What's more, we only have to send these radio waves for a few seconds
to load it with enough energy for thirty hours,
so it won't be traced back to us.
Go, scorpion rocket!
Ken, just now some kind of powerful radio wave went past us.
What?
Do it, scorpion rocket! Turn into a monster and wreck the Earth!

Hey, what's that?
That's a huge meteorite! If one that big falls to Earth...
Something's strange. That's not a meteorite.
It isn't ? Then what is it?
I don't know. Anyway, if we let it get to Earth it will be horrible.
All right, I'll nail it with Bird Missiles.
Joe!
Ken, we don't have time to get Dr. Nambu's permission for this one.
It's no good. Even the Bird Missiles don't affect it at all!
Damn!
Dammit, I can't believe the Bird Missiles don't work!
What now, Ken?
It's no good, Joe. It's too late now.
Oh, no! The Earth will...
It's a monster!
What the heck is going on?
It's like it's a scorpion monster!
Galactor scum... Whatever we have to do, we're taking him down.
I'm not going to let some guy like this ruin the Earth!
Members of the Science Ninja Team...
Oh, Doctor!
Leave the attack to the security forces.
Your orders are to locate the Galactor base
that's controlling the monster and the meteorites as fast as possible.
But Doctor...
I pray for your success, then.
Jun!
What?
Trace the suspicious radio waves from before.
We've got a record of them in our system, but they were so brief.
It will be impossible to trace them.
I'm telling you, get out the cassette with the records, quick!
Okay, I get it! You're so scary.
Here.
I get it. There was a way to do it, wasn't there?
If you like it, you can watch it as long as you like.
Now, put it in the replay machine, quick.
That's big brother for you. He's so smart.
Ken, here it is.
Okay, we're tracing it!
I've got it. The radio wave is being emitted from underwater
twenty kilometers to the southwest of Aserazu Island!
Ryu, go!
Okay, you got it!
Ken, we're close.
Okay, approach carefully.
Stop!
It's an underwater aircraft carrier. So it was hidden here?
Okay! Joe, Jinpei, and Jun, we're sneaking inside.
Ken, what about me?
Stand by here for us, so we can escape at any time.
Dammit, again?! Geez, this is boring.
Who are you?!
Now, lead us to the control room.
Ow, ow, ow...
Be even more violent!
Show Galactor's great power to everyone in the world!
Captain!
What is it?
Captain, well...
What's the matter?
You're Gatchaman!
Fire!
Sound the emergency alarm! Summon everyone!
Yes, Sir!
Now, let's have it.
Where's the device that controls the scorpion monster and the meteorites?
Fool! Do you think I'll tell you so easily?
There's no choice then.
Joe!
Look! The scorpion stopped moving!
I did it.
It's too soon to celebrate. Look!
Those meteorites will come down on this spot! Do you understand?
Die, Science Ninja Team!
Damn! Let's get out of here fast!
This is bad, big brother! The door won't open!
Damn, it's getting away!
Oh, no, I can't get through!
If we don't do something fast, we're going to kick the bucket!
All right, let's take a chance!
Jun, set a yo-yo bomb in that wall.
Ken, we'll die if she does that, you know.
Never mind, just do as I say. Come on, Jun!
Roger!
Okay, everyone gather in one place and really spread your wings.
Now, at the moment of the explosion, everybody turn around in unison.
Go!
Hurry!
That was a close shave.
Don't be silly, as if we'd be done in that easily.
This is the God Phoenix. Come in, Dr. Nambu.
Doctor, we've successfully carried out our orders, over.
Good work. We've also taken care of our side, as you can see.
After the scorpion monster lost its controller,
the security forces reduced it to virtual scrap metal.
Now we're just waiting for you all to come home.
I'm glad.
Wow, what a pretty night sky!
It's only a fleeting peace.
No true peace will come to this Earth until we annihilate Galactor.
We'll do it, with our own hands.
Someday, for sure...
The terrible battle has ended.
A beautiful starry sky has come back to crown the Earth once again.
But as long as Galactor is not struck down,
this beautiful peace can't be real.
Go, Science Ninja Team!
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
One night, the nuclear power plant is attacked by a swarm of ants that appear out of nowhere.
Gatchaman and the others hear this and fly to the power plant.
They vanquish the ant army once,
but an even more fearsome secret lies hidden.
These countless ants are robots made by Galactor.
Next week on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, “The Great Underground Monster War”
Look forward to it!
