Speed Race from Hell
The Luman Kingdom is considered the most beautiful country in the world.
The Luman Kingdom is also famous as a gambling kingdom,
and it's said that the gigantic sum of more than two billion yen
changes hands here every night.
Here!
But the people of this country struggle to pay a heavy tax.
Most of them can barely live from day to day.
Just where does this gigantic sum of several hundred million yen
that changes hands every night go?
Okay...
Stop!
Damn!
There's no way to get out of this secret base.
What is it? What has happened?
I caught a glimpse of a suspicious-looking person inside the base, Sir.
What?! That can't be.
No one can break into a secret Galactor base that easily.
But investigate the matter thoroughly just in case.
Yes, Sir, I understand.
King Luman, as I was saying, we are quite needy as well.
I would like you to increase your donation some more.
I pledged loyalty to Galactor.
I will do what I can.
We will also promise to protect your throne forever.
Speaking of, where has the Prince gone?
He was with me until just now.
Pardon me, for leaving early.
Young people act quickly.
Speaking of which, Prince, I hear you are participating in the race this year.
How confident do you feel about it?
I think something is going to happen this year.
Oh, I look forward to it.
Well then...
I found this in front of the reference room.
We can't let our guard down on this one.
We need to find out what he was trying to accomplish.
The members of the Science Ninja Team, lead by Gatchaman,
are gathered at a secret base of the ISO awaiting orders from Dr. Nambu.
Everyone, urgent orders!
I have just received information that Prince Lukor of the Luman Kingdom
has a mircofilm with the locations of Galactor's secret bases and their headquarters.
Really, Doctor?!
Yes, it is certain.
I got this information from a trustworthy source.
Yes! This is finally our chance to defeat Galactor.
Conveniently, the Luman Kingdom is going to hold a major car race.
All of you are going to compete in an open race sponsored by the Prince.
What?! We're going to compete in a race?!
Yes, you are.
The Prince is also going to compete in that race.
Just so you know, the Prince knows that there are five members in the Science Ninja Team.
He won't trust you if you approach him alone.
All five of you must approach the Prince before the race is over,
and receive the microfilm from him.
Yes, Sir.
Joe, this is a chance for you to show off your skills.
You can count on me.
Okay!
Science Ninja Team, move out!
Roger!
I see, he was the one who did it. Damn!
If the locations of our secret bases and headquarters are discovered,
things will get messy.
I have to do something quickly.
That's absolutely right.
If we leave things as they are, it will lead to great danger for Galactor.
If the Science Ninja Team takes action now,
and if they find out the location of our headquarters,
I will kill you.
What?! Kill?!
You should well know that that is the rule of Galactor.
Yes, Sir, I am aware of it.
Now the final race, which Prince Lukor himself is competing in, is about to start.
My father has sold his soul to Galactor.
I will fight against Galactor to make this country a wonderful country.
The course is three and a half kilometers per lap,
and this is an open race of one hundred laps around the course.
An open race does not limit the class of car that can compete like traditional races.
The greatest race of the century will allow any car with the necessary speed to participate.
All of the competitors are headed for the start line,
seeking glory and carrying their fighting spirit within their hearts.
We're finally about to start!
Oh no!
Oh no! They took the microfilm!
What?!
Everyone! Those black shark-shaped cars must be from Galactor!
Go after them and get back the microfilm!
Roger!
Damn! Piece of junk!
What's wrong, Ryu?
A malfunction, go on ahead without me.
I'll come after you guys in G-5.
Joe, go after Galactor!
Jun and Jinpei, you guys protect the Prince.
Okay, got it.
Roger!
He's pretty good. Okay, then!

Damn, what a cheeky thing to do.
Watch out, Prince!
Prince, please run.
Thank you for coming.
Prince Lukor, why don't you give me the microfilm
that contains the locations of our secret bases and our headquarters?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Prince, just hand it over already.
Sire, your son has done something horrible.
Lukor, stop being foolish.
You should well know what will happen to you if you disobey Lord Katse.
No!
The Luman Kingdom does not belong to you. Not to you, whose soul was stolen by Galactor.
It really belongs to all the citizens, struggling from day to day because of Galactor
who hides in the shadows hoarding a giant sum of money.
Lukor, what are you talking about?
I want to return a beautiful country to the citizens.
What an arrogant brat!
What are you doing, Lord Katse?!
Prince, I will give you ten seconds.
Just ten seconds.
Do you understand?

Father, please forgive me!
Father!
Father...
Father!
Now hand over that film!
Here, Jinpei.
Oh, damn!
What an idiot, he swallowed it.
Seize that brat, quickly!
Can't breathe!
Big brother...
Time to operate. Open up the brat's stomach.
Jinpei, you idiot! Why did you swallow it?!
It hurts when they cut open your stomach, you know!
Oh, that's ...
That young man pretended to swallow it, and threw it into my boot instead.
I see, he was putting on an act.
He even had us fooled!
Okay, we need to rescue Jinpei as soon as possible.
Jun, it's up to you.
Okay, leave it to me.
I'm ready.
Good...
Bird Go!
Idiots! You're not going to get the film even if you operate!
Shut up! Behave!
Hurry up!
Lord Katse, perhaps it would be easier if we just killed him, instead of operating on him.
It would keep the secret from getting out too.
No, I want to take a look at just how much information is on that film he swallowed.
After that, do whatever you want. Kill him or keep him alive as you wish.
All I need is the film. Understand?
I understand.
Get ready!
Stop it!
Help me!
Oh! Gatchaman!
Where did you come from?!
There is a white shadow that steals close to wherever Galactor is.
Their name is...
The Science Ninja Team!
Ninja Technique, Cross Fighter!
Katse, show your face! I will reveal your identity!
Sis!
Jinpei! Sis!
Jinpei!
What are you doing?!
Damn it, so I let him get away?
Okay, let's all get out of here fast.
They came out of a strange place.
Ken, this is Ryu. I'm above you.
Galactor is after us. Hurry up and combine.
Roger!
Bird Flight!
Oh no! The microfilm is gone!
What?!
Oh! It's over there!
We were so close to finding out the location of Galactor's secret base.
Damn it, it's too bad.
I would have actually swallowed it if I had known this was going to happen.
It can't be helped, Ken.
We should deliver what film is left to Dr. Nambu.
We may be able to get some sort of a clue from it.
Yes, let's do so.
Too bad!
Thanks to you, I was able to live another day.
Next time I will make sure to send you to Hell.
Look forward to it!
What a horrible man, to allow so many of his subordinates to die like this.
And thus, most of the microfilm that they struggled to get was burned.
But as Jun said, they may be able to discover Galactor's secret
from what little of the film remains.
Hang in there Gatchaman!
For the sake of world peace!
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
A mole-tank appears from underground and begins rampaging,
and Joe receives a head wound.
The God Phoenix cannot show its power without Joe,
and the mole-tank continues its ferocious attacks.
Severely wounded, can Joe fight again?
And will the God Phoenix...
The Science Ninja Team is in danger.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, “A Critical Moment for the Science Ninja Team” Look forward to it!
