The Grand I nsect Operation
This is everything on Earth,
the planet that we, Galactor, are attempting to conquer.
According to our analysis,
all animals on Earth have a powerful destructive instinct.
Even a human baby grows up finding joy in destroying things.
This is a video tape that we Galactor have secretly recorded.
Go!
Yay! Go!
Yeah, go!
We're cool!
Hey you guys, stop that! Stop that!
Children tend to release that energy indiscriminately.
Oh! It's the cops! Children tend to release that energy indiscriminately.
Run! Children tend to release that energy indiscriminately.
Stay there! Children tend to release that energy indiscriminately.
They sure are good at running away.
Of course there are neither any reasons They sure are good at running away.
Of course there are neither any reasons
nor objectives to these actions.
I'm so bored. I wonder if there's anything else we can break.
Damn.
Oh, you don't see this everyday. It's a beetle!
Oh look, there's another one here.
I caught one, too.
It's incredible, they're beetles!
Mine is bigger!
Look at mine, too.
There sure aren't any insects in the cities anymore.
I've been walking around since morning,
and I haven't even caught an ant.
Wait a second...
Could this be a beetle?!
Wow, I'm really lucky to find a beetle in a place like this.
No! I hate them!
But I spent all day looking for this.
No means no!
If you don't listen to me, I'm going to kick the both of you out!
You don't understand the value of this treasure, Sis.
Stop complaining, and go throw it away!
Darn my Sis...
Oh! She won't ever know if I pretend throw it away,
but secretly keep it as a pet!
Oh? What was that sound just now?
Jinpei must have fallen off his bed, half-asleep, again.
That boy can't be helped.
It has gone well. Our plan is a success.
It was very impressive Lord Berg Katse.
I would never have thought of using children.
Now we just have those four beetles rampage as much as they want.
Berg Katse, it is still too early to celebrate.
In order to carry out our ambitions,
we must completely destroy everything.
That means we cannot have the hated Science Ninja Team find out!
I know.
I have arranged things so that they cannot do anything about it,
even if they find out.
So don't worry.
Come on Jinpei. How long are you going to sleep?
It's already noon, wake up!
Oh! He's not here!
The window is broken!
I wonder just what could have happened?
Oh yes...
How strange for him to disappear, leaving his bracelet behind.
Oh yes, that sound from last night...
The nuclear power plant!
Oh wow, such giant beetles.
Trying to run away?
This is Ken. Come in, Dr. Nambu.
This is Nambu.
Mechanical beetles are on the rampage.
Please grant permission to launch the God Phoenix. Over.
Unfortunately I can't .
What?! You can't ?! Why not, Doctor?!
Jun just contacted me. Jinpei has disappeared.
Jinpei!?
Yes.
He left his bracelet behind.
Ken, this is only my guess,
but Jinpei must have been kidnapped by someone!
What?! It can't be?!
If so, who could have taken Jinpei?
It was probably Galactor.
Them again! Damn it! What do they want with him?!
I don't know.
Three children other than Jinpei have also disappeared.
Then it sounds like it probably has something to do
with those beetle monsters.
Oh yeah, Jinpei had a beetle with him last night.
Even though I told him to throw it away.
Okay. Then go after those beetle monsters.
I want all of you to work separately this time.
Roger!
Bird Go!
Oh there's a child in its stomach!
Dr. Nambu, the children are being held captive inside the beetles!
What?!
Then we can't just attack them.
Yes. Please halt the attack immediately.
Understood.
Red lmpulse is headed to attack. I will contact him immediately.
Approaching target. All units prepare to fire missiles.
Red lmpulse. This is Nambu!
Children are captured inside the targets, halt your attack.
What?!
Urgent order, halt the missile attack immediately!
So we're going to let them get away from right under our noses?
Okay! Here it comes.
Now is time for us, the Science Ninja Team to be the heroes.
This is Gatchaman, G-2 respond.
This is G-2.
Joe, I'm leaving that beetle over there up to you, over.
Roger!
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh
Roaring engines, ninja of science
G-3, chase it as far as you need to, over.
Roaring engines, ninja of science Roger!
Destroy Galactor
Evil of the world
G-5, don't let that one get away either!
Fly with the Ninja Technique Tornado Fighter G-5, don't let that one get away either!
Fly with the Ninja Technique Tornado Fighter
Roger!

Protect the Earth under the shining sun
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Gatchaman
This is!
Ken, is this Galactor's base?
Yes! He was camouflaging it under ancient remains.
I'm going to contact the Doctor,
Everyone stand by for further orders.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
I'm going to make you pay if you're abusing children!
What's going on?
Scary. What's going on?
Scary.
What a spirited little kid.
Say whatever you want now, while you still can.
You guys are not going to get away from Galactor.
What, Galactor?!
I'm scared.
Let me go home!
Even these mischievous kids
get scared as soon as they hear the name “ Galactor.”
They're too loud, shut them up.
Yes, Sir!
Idiot! Just who do you think I am!
Don't be scared when you see.
Bird...
My bracelet isn't here!
Oh no, it must have fallen off sometime when I didn't notice.
Lord Berg Katse, what shall I do with those brats?
All right, take their brains and turn them into cyborgs.
Human children always have an impulse to destroy.
Our leader has come up with the idea
of conquering the world by making use of that impulse.
So he had you spread those beetles around,
and catch these misbehaving kids.
Come! It is finally time to create the world that we, Galactor, want!
Ken, those monstrous beetles are mechanical robots after all.
Their bodies are covered in a special elastic metal.
They are on a rampage with the captured children in their stomach.
Damn them! How cowardly of them!
Then Doctor, could Jinpei be captured as well!?
Yes. Anyway, there is nothing we can do
until we rescue Jinpei and the other children.
You are to secretly enter Galactor's base,
and rescue the children.
I pray for your success.
Yes, Sir.
Come on, Jun!
Okay.
Ken! The children are not inside!
What!? They're not there!?
That means they're being held captive somewhere in this base.
Okay, let's split up and look for them. Hurry!
Ken, be careful.
Yeah. You too, Jun.
Lord Katse, we are ready.
Good. Then begin the operation to remove their brains immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Damn, persistent kids.
Raise the voltage higher!
Yes, Sir!
Who is it!?
Fire!
The white shadow that steals close
without showing its true form...
We are known as the Science Ninja Team “ Gatchaman” !
What? How did you get here?
We are especially good at stealing close
without showing our true form.
Fire!
Jinpei! Jinpei!
Oh, Sis!
Here's your bracelet.
Thank you!
Now that I have this...
Damn it!
Bird Go!
Take this!
Hey! Wake up!
What's happened to us?
Where are we?
Doesn't matter now, let's run. Where are we?
Doesn't matter now, let's run.
Ken, hurry!
Joe! This is Gatchaman. We are escaping now.
Cover our escape!
Roger!
Jinpei, take the children, quick!
All right.
Don't let them get away! Fire!
Hurry! You can do it!
Come on, Jun. Hurry!
Bird Run!
Oh no! The beetles are loose!
Okay, I'll take you down with Bird Missiles!
Oh! Who did that?
You failed again, didn't you? You imbecile!
My sincerest apologies.
You have no choice now, but to carry out the orders given to you.
You know what to do.
Destroy all of the secrets of this base! Hurry!
Damn the Science Ninja team!
I'll take you down with me!
Oh, an earthquake.
No, the base!
Oh! Joe!
Damn.
Joe is in danger!
Okay, let's rescue G-2 as fast as we can!
Roger!
Phew. That was a close one.
There. We're safe now.
Ryu, that was a great job.
Sorry for the trouble.
Wow, you guys are that famous Science Ninja Team?
Thanks for saving us!
More importantly, where is the other weird kid?
Uh, he's gone home already.
I'm sure he's getting a stern lecture right now,
for not listening to his big sister.
You're right. I'm sure he was punished for not listening.
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
The whale shaped submarine made by Galactor,
hidden within pods of whales,
attacked port after port.
The Science Ninja Team goes to the arctic,
lead by a baby whale that Jinpei rescued.
But the giant submarine was already preparing to leave
to destroy ports all over the world.
Will Gatchaman and the others
be able to stop Galactor's ambitions this time?
Next time, on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman,
“Revenge! The Whale Operation”
Look forward to it!
