The Gluttonous Monster lbukron
It's a monster!
All the sugar cane is being sucked up!
Help!
A giant cockroach-shaped mechanical monster is attacking
the world's sources of sugar cane and sugar beets one after the other,
and the sugar stock that so much hard work has gone into
disappears before it reaches the people.
The results of the International Science Organization's investigation
are that the world's sugar reserves have already been exhausted.
It looks like this incident will cause the people of the world to be starved for sweetness.
So we won't be able to eat sweet things from now on?!
I won't be able to eat the things I love? I can't believe this!
I'm sorry!
Hey, it's Jun and Jinpei.
Oh, it's Ryu.
How mean! We stood in line for eight hours to buy that, you know!
How are you gonna make this up to me?
Wow, this looks good. Wouldn't want it to go to waste, so I'll eat it.
Sheesh, I'm surprised at you.
Sis, he's eating everything.
G-5. Come in, G-5.
Damn, what bad timing.
What is it, G-5?
Oh, no, nothing. This is G-5, Doctor.
This is Nambu. The cockroach monster has appeared again.
Gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
What, right now?!
Of course, right now! Hurry up!
Roger!
Hey, Dr. Nambu's calling us.
Let's go, Jinpei.
You got it! Okay...
Wow, it's cake!
There's chocolate too!
It's mine!
A cockroach monster? Let's try getting in touch with Dr. Nambu.
Everyone, the giant cockroach monster is probably an atomically-powered robot.
It's currently eating the sugar cane and sugar beets all over the world.
Doctor, this must be Galactor, but why would they do that?
It appears they've changed their strategy.
They're trying to make the children suffer by nabbing the world's sugar.
Doctor, what is Galactor aiming for?
They probably mean to cause people trouble, plunge them into unease,
and throw the entire human race into confusion with one fell swoop.
Oh, someone who would do something like that is the lowest!
Damn it!
I can't stand someone nabbing food!
Let's get right to it.
Science Ninja Team, I want you to follow the atomic cockroach robot,
making sure not to be discovered by the enemy, and find its base.
I pray for your success.
Understood, Doctor.
Hey, there it is!
Wow, it's a cockroach monster.
It's probably big on the outside and pea-brained on the inside.
The meter's all weird!
What?!
The electric system's haywire!
It's not broken, we're being attracted by a strong magnetic force!
At this rate, we'll be sucked in along with the God Phoenix!
Okay, Ryu, keep this up and make it look like we're being sucked in.
Then you and Joe and I will jump inside its mouth.
Jun, take over the steering!
Roger!
Now!
Bird Run!
Ow...
That was close.
Impressive as always, Ken.
Ken, I found the switch.
This thing is incredible.
The inside has been made into a complete sugar factory.
Come on, quick!
Oops-a-daisy...
Hey, don't let go!
The cockroach has started to move.
This is bad! It's getting away!
Send out radio waves to jam their radar. We're following them as far as they go!
Roger!
Captain, radio waves are jamming the radar and it's not working at all.
What?!
There's nothing to be done. We'll go back to base for now.
You imbeciles! You haven't noticed that Gatchaman's infiltrated you?
I'm very sorry, Sir. I'll dispose of them right away then.
We have everything under control.
Look at this, Sir. They're wandering around this area right now.
Damn! They mean to crush us!
What should we do? Damn you!
That's right, there's got to be an exit somewhere! Hurry, look for it!
Right!
Ken, over here!
Come on, Ryu, hurry!
Hurry!
Push on my rear! Come on!
Jinpei, keep putting out jamming waves for their radar.
Roger! But Sis, they haven't contacted us.
That might mean they're captured.
Oh, I get it. That's why they left us behind.
They were thinking about what would happen when they got captured.
That's the kind of guy big brother is.
It's only natural you'd fall for him, Sis.
Jinpei, this is no time to be talking nonsense.
We have to help Ken, Joe and Ryu somehow.
What's this?
It's probably the oven for cooking the raw materials.
It can make soup out of us.
That's not funny.
Okay, fly!
Hang in there, Joe!
Yeah, I'm fine.
Ken, Joe, please don't let go!
Dammit...
That's hot...
Lord Katse, this is finally the end of Gatchaman.
Excellent! Our Leader is happy too.
Listen, Berg Katse, don't let down your guard.
Our expectations are often betrayed by Gatchaman. Understood?
Yes, Sir! I will be certain to take care.
Hey, Sis! That cockroach scum, going into a place like that!
The cockroach's base must be underneath there.
For all we know it could be Galactor's headquarters.
Now, we'll sneak in God Phoenix and all.
Ken and the others are in danger after all. We have to go help them quickly!
They couldn't have been done in, could they?
Come on, we're going.
Roger!

Ken and the others are still inside the cockroach.
We have to climb inside somehow.
Please, God, let them still be alive.
It'd be really bad if they'd been done in.
Idiot, they're sure to be alive. Come on, we're going.
It's hot, it's hot...
It's no good. At this rate, all three of us will become soup.
Ken, look at that!
Ken, I'm going to use the gun and try something.
Hang onto Ryu by yourself for me while I'm doing it.
Okay, understood. It looks like there's no other way.
Okay, Ryu, I'm going to let go of your hand.
Really?
Ryu!
Joe, hurry!
It's all over!
Damn, those stupid brats! Yet again, they've...
Fools!
Sir!
Our Leader was looking forward to this with anticipation,
and yet you're so pathetically useless!
Lord Katse, this time I will display for you the sight
of them being pulled to pieces for sure with the centrifugal separator.
I trust those words are true. If you fail this time...
You understand, don't you?
Yes, Sir!
What's this?
Damn! It's a centrifugal separator!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, help!
Ken, at this rate we'll die!
But we can't escape!
Lord Berg Katse, this time it's the end of Gatchaman.
All right, pull them to pieces!
Meanwhile, Jun and Jinpei,
who have successfully snuck into the mechanical cockroach monster,
infiltrate its atomic power room, or what can be justly called its heart.
Increase to maximum power output!
Yes, Sir!
You bastard!
Jinpei, destroy the power source, quick!
All right! You can leave any destruction to me!
You bastard...
Jinpei, are you okay?
Oh, no! The power isn't working! Hurry to lbukron!
Yes, Sir!
Whew, we were saved in the nick of time.
In just a little longer, we would have flown to bits.
That took ten years off my life...
Hey, this is sugar!
Look at all this sugar!
Galactor scum, they took it all for themselves.
Good for you, getting all this way alive. I've got to hand it to you, Gatchaman.
But this mountain of sugar is your gravesite!
Now's the time for you to give up!
Go ahead and try it, if you can, Galactor.
Now you'll see Gatchaman's true skill!
Such impudence! Get them! Kill them!
The white shadow that steals close...
Without showing its true form.
People call us...
The Science Ninja Team!
G-5, called Ryu the Owl!
And G-2, Joe the Condor!
G-1 , Ken the Eagle. I am also called Gatchaman!
Ninja Technique: Tornado Fighter!
Bird Run!
You jerks, why you...
Oh, it's the nuclear reactor. Okay, then...
Stop this already, Gatchaman!
Would you exchange their lives for a victory?
Jun, Jinpei! What are you doing here?
These hooligans not only had the audacity to sneak into a Galactor base,
they destroyed the power source!
So that's it. That saved us.
Now, let's have you drop your weapons like good boys.
All right.
You bastard!
Damn! Just you wait, brats!
Why you, dammit...
Sheesh, I'm tired...
Ryu, so you were here after all.
Ken, if we don't bust this nuclear reactor...
Hey! Stop, Ryu! If there's a radiation leak, the Science Ninja Team will perish too.
Oh, I really am a hopeless guy.
Leave it to me!
I use my head.
And if I do this...
That will do it.
All right, let's hurry back to the God Phoenix.
They're taking a long time. Hurry up, Ken.
Sugar, taking it for presents...
Ryu, aren't you done yet?!
Hurry!
You've failed again, haven't you, you imbecile?!
I'm very sorry, Lord Berg Katse. Please give me one more chance.
Okay, engines at full force!
Roger!
There! Follow Gatchaman!
What happened?!
Damn! The shock from the blast just now caused a landslide!
Then we're...
Can't we get out?
Dammit! We were so close to escaping!
It's no good. At this rate, we'll crash.
There's no choice.
We'll escape using the Science Ninja Technique Firebird.
Don't just stand around!
Everyone get in your seats and buckle your safety belts!
Roger!
Here we go! Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
Is everyone okay?
Of course!
Everyone put in a good effort.
I'll never die until I've given this sugar to the kids as a present!
Hah, you talk pretty, but you're planning to lick it all up yourself, aren't you?!
Why, you! But maybe I'll try just a little lick.
It really is sweet!
The sweetness of sugar tasted after the battle is over...
This is the very taste of true peace, to be sure.
As he looked at the happy smiles on the faces of children,
in his heart Gatchaman vowed anew
that he must defeat Galactor without fail, for these children's sakes as well.
Dare da? Dare da? Dare da?
Sora no kanata ni odoru kage
Shiroi tsubasa no Gatchaman
Inochi wo kakete tobidaseba
Kagaku ninpou hi no tori da
Tobe tobe tobe Gatchaman
Yuke yuke yuke Gatchaman

Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
Inochi wo kakete tobidaseba
Kagaku ninpou hi no tori da
Tobe tobe tobe Gatchaman
Yuke yuke yuke Gatchaman
Chikyuu wa hitotsu
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
The lake created in Africa's great desert
by the International Science Organization disappears in an instant.
Pursuing the answer to this mystery,
Gatchaman hears the tale of the red sand from a village elder.
Red sand that is really bacteria carrying a huge energy.
Mysterious red sand, a moving lake, and in the shadows, a Galactor plot.
Next time, “ The Mysterious Red Sand”
Look forward to it!
