The Fearsome Ice-Kander
Okay...
Yay, I did it, I did it!
Okay, I'm gonna do it too!
Dang, I guess I'm no good.
Young lady...
What?
Aren't you going to play with everyone else?
No, it's boring.
Why?
Excuse me...
Oh, Captain.
The truth is, this young lady's father died only three days ago in a traffic accident.
We're taking her to be placed under the care of her mother, who was separated from him.
You poor girl...
How about it, young lady? Won't you play soccer or something with me?
Soccer?
I may not be able to use my legs, but I'm still good.
All right, one more time.
Here!
Ouch...
What's with the weather?!
Mister, I'm scared!
What?
What's going on?
Look! It's an iceberg!
Oh, no, this is dangerous!
We're going to crash! Quick, change course!
Hello, this is G-1 , Gatchaman.
Good morning, Gatchaman. How are you feeling?
Why are you calling me this early in the morning?
There is no night or day for the Science Ninja Team.
I have urgent orders for you.
Yes, Sir!
Sheesh, I have to go on a mission with no breakfast?
A nuclear-powered ship passing through the South Pacific
disappeared along with its many passengers.
And in the middle of their drills,
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines
are going missing one after another.
The particular feature of this incident is that all the targets were nuclear-powered ships.
That's too much to be a coincidence.
Units G-1 through G-5,
combine and begin searching for the nuclear-powered ships immediately.
Roger!
Bird Go!
Good morning, members of the Science Ninja Team.
I've gotten hold of something interesting, so I'm going to have you all take a look at it.
This is something a patrol that just returned to base recorded on video.
I'd like you to pay close attention to the details.
Wow, those are some icebergs.
That's rare. They say that icebergs drift into the area near the equator,
but I've never seen ones this huge before.
They really are huge.
Whoa, it sank!
This is strange. Doctor, please show that to us again.
Please stop it there.
What is it, Ken?
Don't you think these icebergs are strange, everyone?
Icebergs are things that drift on the tides from the Arctic all the way to the southern seas.
These icebergs are opposing the tide.
Ken, how can you tell that?
Look closely.
The tide is flowing from the direction the icebergs are moving in.
There are big waves in the back, aren't there?
Yeah, it's just like Ken says.
Doctor, where was this video taken, from what vantage point?
It was taken starting 50 kilometers southwest of the Hawaiian archipelago
by a plane flying continually south.
Which means these icebergs were heading north, am I right?
Exactly. Your perception is as quick as ever, Gatchaman.
And it's weird that it suddenly sank into the ocean too.
You're an adult member of the team already, aren't you?
Oh, no, you flatter me.
Ow!
Okay, change course to the north!
Roger!
Galactor, who has achieved great military results with the beast Ice-Kander,
transports the many nuclear-powered ships covered in ice here to this Arctic base.
They take the nuclear reactor from the passenger ship
and leave the aircraft carriers, submarines, and the rest as is for use as weapons.
In order to be converted to the Galactor group,
the people are sent to the Human Conversion Laboratory on the base.
My body is sick and I don't know how many days it has left in it.
Have you seen a doctor?
Yes, it's a sickness that even the doctor can't cure.
So take very good care of your body, young lady.
Okay...
And you get better, Mister.
You mustn't lose to the sickness. No way!
Thank you.
I've started to feel brave now. I'm not scared of anything anymore.
Get out!
Hurry up and walk!
How could you do such a thing to a child like this?
Shut up, old fool!
Mister! Are you okay?
Dammit, just you wait, you Galactor scum!
This is sure something.
There's no telling which iceberg is the one we want.
Jun! Start up the electronic radar!
Roger!
What's that?
Ken, we've finally found it.
It's the base.
Okay, commence operations!
Roger!
Ryu, get close to the iceberg!
Roger!
Bird!
Flight!

This is the missing nuclear-powered passenger ship.
Here we go, Jun.
Stop, you suspicious person! Don't move!
Come this way.
Go on, get inside.
Thanks, Ken, you really helped me out.
Ken, where is this car going?
I don't know where it's going either.
I'm not driving it after all.
Getting worked up about it won't do any good.
Let's just let Galactor give us a good look at their base.
Let's try following that car. Something's up.
But we can't drive this car independently of its course, can we?
Okay, maybe I'll push this button and see what happens.
Stop that! If we make a wrong move, we'll be noticed.
All right! Do a good job following him for us.
Ken and Jun follow Galactor's computerized car
and penetrate to the heart of the Arctic base.
Stop! Don't do cruel things to such a child!
Can't you hear me telling you to stop?!
We're starting.
Stop, I'll go in her place, so please spare that child!
Who are you?
The Science Ninja Team...
Gatchaman!
Not bad, figuring out where this was, but this is the last place you'll ever see alive.
What?!
I'll take care of you with this time bomb.
Get out of the way!
What are you doing?! Stop!
Mister, why did you die?
You finally became friends with me and everything!
Mister...
Come on, hurry.
Bird Run!
Jun, hurry up and escape ahead of me.
Captain, get everyone onto the ship, quickly.
But then what about you two?
Please don't worry about us.
This will do it.
Who's there?
Dammit! So we were done in by the Science Ninja Team again?!
All right, this is what they get this time!
What's that thing?
It's what froze the nuclear-powered ships.
It's following us at really high speed!
I'm telling you, leave it to me.
Ryu! Increase the pressure!
We're moving; I can't !
He's sure persistent.
This is a pain. Ryu, try making a sudden dive!
Okay!
Damn! Ken, we've gotten trapped in ice!
All right, we've got no choice. Science Ninja Technique Firebird!
Here we go! Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
Damn you, Gatchaman scum...
You've done it again, haven't you? All right, just you wait.
I'll create an even more amazing weapon, and I'll kill you for sure!
Thank you so much!
Goodbye!
Take care! Goodbye!
Take care!
Let's meet again sometime!
Goodbye!
This small pipe was left behind as a memento by the old man
who sacrificed the short rest of his life to save the girl and the Science Ninja Team.
It's now being tightly grasped in the hands of a girl on a sea voyage
to her waiting mother in her hometown.
Gatchaman was filled with heartfelt gladness
that he was able to defeat Galactor and save that girl.
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
Chikyuu wa hitotsu
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
In a dead city finally destroyed by repeated pollution, a new life form is born.
This is the fearsome Jellyfish Lens birthed by Galactor.
The sunlight reflected by its eyes melts steel,
and the breath it exhales can reduce a green forest to ashes in an instant.
Gatchaman and the others head for the dead city on Dr. Nambu's orders
in order to destroy the Jellyfish Lens, but...
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, “The Fearsome Jellyfish Lens” Look forward to it!
