A Critical Moment for the Science Ninja Team
Lord Berg Katse, all is going according to plan.
Do you think the Science Ninja Team will come, Sir?
I am sure they will.
When they do, rampage as much as you want and lure them in!
Yes, Sir!
Urgent orders for Gatchaman.
A mole monster has appeared downtown.
It must be Galactor's doing. Gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
Roger! Bird Go!
Sorry, Ken, I'm late.
Go ahead.
Okay, I understand. Let's do it!
Stop, Joe! What are you trying to do?!
I'm going to save that puppy. Don't mind me!
Joe, it's too dangerous! Come back!
Give Joe some cover!
That's ...
G-2 from the Science Ninja Team!
Kill him!
We'll teach you a lesson!
Swat down the God Phoenix!
My head!
It looks like they got Joe!
What?! They got him?!
Ryu, turn us around!
Joe!
Ryu, land.
Where do you think you're looking?!
Behold the power of the mole tank!
The Science Ninja Team is done for now!
Swat down the God Phoenix!
Look at that!
What?! Look at that!
The sun is rising!
The mole tank is weak in sunlight.
They have the devil's luck!
I can't believe big brother Joe is dead.
Joe!
It's all because of that puppy!
Damn it! Take this you jerk!
Jinpei!
Let me go! Please let me go! Please, Ken!
Yeah! If it wasn't for that dog, this wouldn't have happened!
The puppy isn't the guilty one here. Look!
I can understand how Joe felt.
Galactor killed Joe's parents, just like they did this puppy's .
This puppy is a shadow of Joe from the past.
Joe! Please wake up!
Oh! He moved!
Okay, let's all carry Joe together.
Joe, are you okay? Hang on!
Hey, big brother, what are we going to do with the puppy?
Don't worry about him!
Puppy...
You're an orphan starting today too.
Please, find a way to save Joe!
Please!
Everyone, look at this.
This metal fragment is touching the most sensitive portion of Joe's brain.
It is impossible to remove it with an operation.
Then is there nothing we can do?
No, there is just one thing we can do.
What's that?
We can gamble on the high speed centrifuge from the Space Research Facility
to remove the fragment from his head.
But there is a strong possibility that if anything goes wrong,
his body will be torn to pieces.
But Joe will die if we don't do anything.
Doctor, the members of the Science Ninja Team
train our bodies constantly.
We won't die from a small shock or two.
If Joe dies, we won't be able to use the full strength of the God Phoenix.
Please, let's gamble on the centrifuge.
Okay, I understand, but...
Let's try it.
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Gatchaman
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
A high speed centrifuge
is a simulation device designed to train astronauts
to withstand the gravitational pull experienced while escaping the Earth's atmosphere.
After Gatchaman and the others beg him to,
Dr. Nambu decides to try to remove the missile fragment in Joe's head
using the centrifugal force created by this machine.
Please start.
Please increase the centrifugal force to six times what it is now.
Increase the centrifugal force by a factor of ten!
That's crazy. If we increase it anymore, his body may be torn to...
Do it!
But...
Doctor!
It was a failure. We can't get the fragment out.
Doctor! It's urgent!
We just received notice from the International Science Organization
that the metallic mole tank monster has appeared!
Science Ninja Team, move out!
No way! I don't want to leave big brother Joe behind!
I don't want to leave when Joe could die!
Yeah!
Ken!
I'm going.
Do you think Joe would...
Would Joe be happy seeing us here?
Aren't you... Aren't you the Science Ninja Team?
You want us to go, Doctor? Fine, we'll go!
I will save Joe no matter what!
There you are, Science Ninja Team! This time I will make sure to finish you off!
It's no good. We don't stand a chance.
You must be joking! What are you talking about?!
Don't give up just because Joe isn't here!
The Science Ninja Team will win!
But without big brother Joe's G-2,
we can't become the Firebird or fire Bird Missiles.
That's right! Just why are you trying to fight this thing?!
Damn...
Did I scare you, Science Ninja Team?
The end is finally near. Say your prayers!
Damn it, we're not going to lose!
Ryu! Full speed ahead!
lmpossible! Ryu! Full speed ahead!
lmpossible!
Ken, take a look at this!
Joe!
Ryu, switch on the TV screen!
Okay!
Members of the Science Ninja Team, Joe has gone missing.
If he is still alive, I'm sure he will be headed your way wringing out the last ounce of his strength.
When he gets there, I leave it up to you!
I understand. Time to combine!
Roger!
Joe!
Hang in there!
Joe is going to die at this rate!
Don't worry about me, destroy the mole tank with the Firebird.
No, Joe! Your body can't withstand the Firebird right now.
The fragment in my head won't come out.
I know I am going to die.
I don't want my death to be wasted.
Joe...
Jun!
It hurts!
Joe!
My head! Joe!
Joe, when we die, we die together! Okay, Joe?!
Ken! I don't see the mole tank anywhere!
Try lowering our altitude some more.
All right!
It's going to crush us!
Oh no! It's going to crush us!
Oh no!
Surprised now? This mole tank is not scared of the God Phoenix.
Our only option now is the Bird Missiles.
We can't , not when we're this close.
Can Joe bear the explosive force when the Bird Missile hits?
Joe!
Big brother!
Oh! This is... Yeah, it's Joe's ...
Joe, it's come out!
Yay! It must have come out from the shock just now!
Joe, we did it!
We were able to defeat the mole tank thanks to you!
What about the puppy I saved?
The puppy is doing well.
So long as the fragment is out, I can save him from the rest of his wounds.
The Science Ninja Team can only show its true force when all five of you are together.
So don't forget the way you feel right now.
The monster attacks by Galactor are growing worse and worse.
But so long as the Science Ninja Team exists, Galactor's time will never come!
Dare da? Dare da? Dare da?

Dr. Henjinman, who invents cyborg horses with supernatural powers, is kidnapped by Galactor.
Gatchaman, searching for the professor,
follows a strange pack of horses, and tracks down their secret base.
But what they see there is Dr. Henjinman who has become Galactor's second-in-command!
Just who is Dr. Henjinman?
And what is the truth he discovers about the identity of Leader X?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, “Who is Leader X?” Look forward to it!
