Revenge! The Whale Operation
Hey, it's getting rowdy on the deck.
I bet the crew is just excited,
since we haven't been on land in a long time.
What's going on?
What is it? What's going on?
What is it?
Hey, look at that!
What is that?
It's coming this way!
Watch out! It's going to hit us!
G-1 of the Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman,
was on his way home after completing a job as a test pilot, his real job.
That's !
This is horrible.
This is Gatchaman. Go ahead.
This is Nambu.
The suspension bridges over Strait F
and the petrochemical complexes along it were destroyed by someone.
Doctor, I'm flying over a burning petrochemical complex right now.
Good, according to an eye-witness report, it was attached by a giant whale.
Giant whale? Then it's not Galactor?
I don't know.
Gatchaman, gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
Roger!
Bird Go!
Big brother, is it true that a whale has destroyed a petrochemical complex?
No, there is no way a whale could do such a thing.
It's probably a submarine or something disguised as a whale.
That means Galactor is behind it.
Yes, Galactor is the only one who would do a thing like this.
Big brother, look! Whales!
Ken, these are real whales.
But it's strange!
This pod of whales is swimming furiously towards something.
Oh, yes! A whale's head works like a radar!
Then they must have found something.
Okay, let's descend until we are just over the surface of the water,
and follow the pod of whales.
Just as Ryu said, a whale's head is sensitive to special sounds,
for example, sounds of very high frequencies.
This allows them to capture prey even without very good eyes.
Hey! There's a really big whale over there!
The pod of whales are headed towards that giant whale.
It looks suspicious. Proceed carefully!
Okay! Get closer!
That's a submarine disguised as a whale!
Looks like it is that whale's child.
He's become an orphan too.
Jinpei, this is not the time for sympathy.
He's right. We have to go after the whale-shaped submarine right away.
Okay! I'm going to get revenge for the baby whale!
Oh, look at that!
Killer whales! The gangs of the sea!
They must have been lured here by the smell of blood.
Oh no! The baby whale is going to get eaten too! Let's help it.
What are you talking about? We're in the middle of a mission right now.
But don't you feel sorry for it?
The baby whale that survived is going to be killed too.
Idiot, we have to defeat Galactor first.
No, you're wrong. Whales are living things too.
Joe, you're a jerk!
Joe, you don't understand what it's like being an orphan at all!
Jinpei!
That idiot, just what can he do with that bean-sized tank?
Ken...
I know, Joe.
Heh, how about that?
Joe...
After saving the poor baby whale who lost his mother,
Gatchaman took the baby whale back to their secret base,
intending to release it into the underwater farm.
You idiots! What is the meaning of this?!
Just what do you all think your duty as the Science Ninja Team is?!
How can you lose track of an important enemy
just to save a baby whale?!
Listen, while you were busy fighting that large pod of killer whales,
I've been receiving terrible information from all over the world!
Whales, numerous giant whales have been appearing and disappearing,
attacking ports and ships all over the world.
Could those whales also be...
Yes, they are probably whale-shaped submarines.
If an unknown submarine was to be found, all countries would go on guard.
We can't tell if it's a submarine or a whale.
That is Galactor's aim!
The submarine's only objective is to attack ships and ports?
I don't know.
We lost our only lead thanks to you guys.
I released the baby whale you brought here into the sea.
What? You released it?
Yes, with a small tracking device.
A small tracking device?
Yes, we're going to take advantage of the whale's ability.
I'm sure he will find something for us.
He may turn out to be a lot more useful than the lot of you.
Doctor, it's appeared on the radar.
Yes, strange.
It's swimming upriver and entering the ice fields.
He must have gotten bored with the ocean, and is playing in the rivers now. How cute.
Jinpei! Now is not the time to be joking around.
The rivers around there are dozens of kilometers wide,
and there are areas all over the ice fields that humans have never set foot in.
Ken is absolutely right.
Places like that are extremely convenient locations for Galactor.
Go! Science Ninja Team! I pray for your success!
Roger!
Under orders from Dr. Nambu, Gatchaman and the others
fly towards the icy region near the Arctic Circle.
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Strange, that baby whale just keeps circling beneath the ice floes.
Ken, what's that?!
Yes, we need to investigate it.
Okay, Joe come with me.
The rest of you, stand by until you are given orders.
Darn, leaving me behind again.
Jinpei, listen to what he says.
Darn...
What a horrible place, so many puddles.
Quiet, look. What a horrible place, so many puddles.
Quiet, look.
That radar station's supposed to be abandoned, but it's operating.
I see, this is getting a little interesting.
Joe, let's go!
Wait! We're not suspicious men!
We're the forest patrol. We got lost and ended up here.
We just turned it on to radio for help, and the radar started turning.
I see, we will call for help for you.
Come on, Joe.
Yeah...
You're too soft, Ken.
You should never trust guys like these right away.
Don't let it bug you too much, Ken.
This is the way they work.
They will gladly shoot you in the back.
It's the way they killed my father and mother. They're cowards.
Okay, Joe.
Watch tower, what happened to your scheduled report?
Is anything wrong?
No, nothing.
Joe!
Yes, if we follow this phone, we can find the location of their base. Joe!
Yes, if we follow this phone, we can find the location of their base.
This is Gatchaman, G-3 respond.
This is G-3. What is it, Ken?
Jun and Jinpei, bring a tracer and explosives.
I've been waiting to hear that!
It's finally my turn for some action.
Ryu, I leave the rest up to you.
It's always like this.
Big brother always relies on me for help.
Sorry, Ryu.
Twenty minutes until the operation.
Load the missiles onto the giant whale-shaped submarines.
This is the secret base. What is it, watch tower?
What is it watch tower? Watch tower?!
We can trace them even without being connected now.
What is it?
Sir, it was from the watch tower on the surface,
but they hung up without saying anything.
I doubt it's anything important.
I will go make a report to Lord Katse.
Yes, Sir.
Jun, hurry!
I know.
Joe it's right below you! Forty meters below the surface.
Okay, got it!
Okay, now it's up to this new weapon, the mole machine.
Fortunately, the dirt under us is soft.
We'll be done sooner than we thought.
Yup, yup, dig well.
Okay, let's go!
Looks like a major operation is about to start.
Lord Berg Katse, we are ready to begin.
Okay! Go now! Destroy all the ports around the world!
We don't have time to dilly-dally.
Jun, give everyone the time bombs.
Roger!
Okay, listen everyone.
Set these up at places where the explosion can do some damage.
Roger!
These bombs are set to explode in ten minutes. Don't forget that.
Okay, factoring in the time we need to escape,
you have five minutes to complete your work.
Ten minutes until sortie.
Who's there?!
Oh, it's a whale.
Oh, he's ...
What?
What a strange whale.
Don't shoot!
What is it?!
Dammit!
What is it? What has happened?
Idiot, you can't come to places like this.
This place is going to explode soon.
It's too dangerous here, so go home.
Your work is over, so please go home.
Jinpei, what are you doing? We need to retreat!
I know, but I can't leave him here.
Idiot! Forget about the whale!
The Science Ninja Team has invaded the base.
What shall we do?
You imbecile! You have to ask me?!
Yes, Sir...
What else is there to do?
Sortie the giant whale-shaped submarines immediately!
Yes, Sir!
Oh no! We don't have enough time!
Leave me behind, big brother! Hurry! Hurry and run!
Idiot! We can't do that!
Jinpei!
Jinpei...
Retreat!
Ken, what about Jinpei?!
That's an order! Retreat!
All soldiers, board the submarines!
Go!
Find the God Phoenix, so that I can destroy it!
Ken, one minute until explosion.
Jinpei, run away.
Ken, the giant whale-shaped submarines have appeared.
Ken, we have to get further away, or the God Phoenix will be in danger too.
The bombs are going to cause a huge explosion soon.
Oh yes!
Ryu, bring the God Phoenix closer to them!
You must be joking!
That's only going to get us caught in the explosion.
Joe! Jinpei may still be in that base.
All we can do right now is to lure them as far away from the base as we can.
Okay, Ken, leave it up to me!
The God Phoenix is attacking!
Tell all ships to charge at full speed! We'll crash into the God Phoenix!
I wonder if Jinpei is alive?
What I'm worried about is just how long Jinpei can last in this cold ocean.
Thank you, you're the one that saved me this time.
I got revenge for your parents, so you can go home in peace.
Goodbye! Don't lose to anyone, even if you're alone!
Goodbye!
This is G-4, that baby whale saved me.
Jinpei was happier about the fact that the baby whale saved him from danger,
than the fact that they destroyed Galactor's base.
Gatchaman and the others probably felt the same way,
as they heard the good news and sighed in relief.
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
The biggest, hottest speed race of the century!
Gatchaman and the others are competing in this race.
It's because they received a notice that a certain man will give them a microfilm
with the location of Galactor's secret headquarters during the race.
Galactor's black racers try to stop them,
and Gatchaman and the others fight them at the risk of their lives.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman,
“Speed Race from Hell”
Look forward to it!
