Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
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 Mag ma Giant Emperor of Hell
This is the most famous natural park in the nation of Ameris, the Blue Stone National Park.
Not only does it have many beautiful ravines,
the most famous parts of this park are the hot springs, something not very common in Ameris,
and the faces of successive presidents of this country carved into a 500 meter tall cliff.
A few years ago, the face of Christ
started to appear next to the faces of those successive presidents.
And this face is about to be completed.
It is the culmination of an arduous job, worked on by three generations of a family.
Okay, now it's done.
It's done.
Grandpa, now we'll be done
if we just carve the Virgin Mary next to Christ.
At the same time,
at a International Science Organization volcanic research center on a small volcanic island
research is progressing on turning poisonous underground gases into fresh air
as part of the Mantle Project to create clean energy.
Yes, our research is finally near completion.
Now we can do something to help people all around the world
who are struggling with polluted air.
All that is left is to run a pipeline to hospitals and schools that are troubled by pollution, Chief.
Okay, then let's start immediately.
Berg Katse, the International Science Organization
has finally completed research on transforming
poisonous underground gases into fresh air.
We need to destroy that facility immediately.
The time has come to show the might of the Magma Giant that our science has created.
Go, Katse!
Yes, Sir.
It's another volcanic eruption, Chief!
Don't worry, we have trenches to contain the lava.
Oh! It's coming this way!
Chief, the trenches for containing the lava won't be of any use.
We have to run immediately.
It's urgent! A giant covered in lava is destroying volcanic research facilities one after another!
It's coming this way.
Oh no! Help!
Help!
What incredible heat! We're going to die!
Help!
Losing that volcanic research facility is a major loss for the International Science Organization.
The device to transform poisonous gas into fresh air,
that we have spent long years to create, has been destroyed as well.
A giant covered in lava...
Ken, Galactor has to be behind this.
Galactor is cunning.
Creating a magma giant would be a cinch for them.
Yes! Galactor obviously did it, trying to interfere with the Mantle Project.
Ken, let's go.
I can't stand to watch Dr. Nambu saddened like this.
Doctor!
We will go to that volcanic research facility and investigate the surroundings.
We may be able to find some sort of a clue.
Okay, I'm counting on you. Be careful, though.
I pray for your success.
Roger!
Man, this is horrible.
It's almost like Hell.
It reminds me of that town of death that was destroyed by the Jellyfish Lens.
Ryu, descend and investigate the surroundings.
Okay!
Oh! What's that?!
Footprints! They're the Magma Giant's footprints!
What huge footprints!
My feet are 22cm long,
so that would make those footprints 2,000cm long? Or maybe 3,000?
Jinpei, what stupid thing are you talking about?
Follow those footprints!
Roger!
Incredible...
I'm scared, big brother.
Jinpei, be brave.
Ken, those footprints lead into that volcano.
Okay, let's try descending as far as we can.
And thus, Gatchaman and the others begin their descent into a fiery hell.
Will the God Phoenix be able to bear the high temperatures of 5,000 degrees?
Even the Science Ninja Technique: Firebird, that the God Phoenix can just barely do,
has a limit of 3,000 degrees.
Temperatures outside the ship are at 2,000 degrees.
The Giant's footprints have disappeared!
If the footprints disappear here,
then it must mean that the Magma Giant has returned to the lava.
Maybe their base is in the volcano?
Temperatures outside the ship are at 2,800 degrees. Ken, we're at our limit!
Oh! Look at that!
A cave in a place like this?
Maybe it leads somewhere.
Ryu, go into that cave.
What?
Ken, don't be crazy! What?
Ken, don't be crazy!
Temperatures outside the ship are over 3,000 degrees!
If we keep going, the God Phoenix is going to explode!
Damn it, our only clue is before our eyes and...
Imbeciles! You appear again, Science Ninja Team!
This time I will send you to Hell!
It's dangerous; the volcano is becoming active!
Rise at full speed!
Roger!
What is that?!
There it is! The Magma Giant!
That face!
I've seen that face before.
Ryu, get away from the volcano quickly!
Ryu! Rise quickly!
Ryu, do a somersault!

Phew, that was a close one.
They were about to get us.
Everyone, are you okay?
But why did that Magma Giant chase us into the ocean and not finish us off?
We went tumbling into the ocean.
Maybe it thought that it had already defeated us?
No, maybe it couldn't approach the coast.
It could be scared of touching the water.
If lava cools down, it's just a clump of rock.
Now I remember where I saw the Magma Giant's face!
It's looks like the face of Christ carved into the cliff at Blue Stone National Park.
How strange...
That's not the image of Christ that I carved.
I wonder who that is?
It may be Galactor.
Okay, let's investigate.
We are the Science Ninja Team.
Okay, Galactor scum, how about you give us the full tour of this place?
Oh! You're a woman, aren't you?
Don't get the wrong impression!
I'm not this Galactor that you're looking for.
I'm just a sculptor.
We'll see about that.
Come on, show us around the inside.
Hurry and stand up.
You don't trust others, do you? You doubting Ninja Team scum.
You won't ever get any sympathy from me.
What a girl she is! You won't ever get any sympathy from me.
What a girl she is!
Joe, she's a girl! Treat her more courteously.
Wow! It's like we've walked into Hell.
Be careful, poisonous gases are coming out.
We should stay away from the crater.
Ken, looks like it has something to do with the statue we saw earlier.
Katse, the International Science Organization is creating an environmentally friendly town
centered around an inactive volcano on the Calhornia peninsula.
Use the Magma Giant to burn it to ashes.
The Science Ninja Team has not died yet, so be very careful when carrying out the mission.
No, the Science Ninja Team has already...
You imbecile! I am never wrong!
If you repeat your failures too many times, I may just have to do something about it.
Yes, Sir!
Everyone, watch out! Jump up!
Wow, I wonder if we're under a lake here?
I see! The lake bottom has probably been replaced with special glass,
and the entire lake acts as a lens to absorb the Sun's energy!
I wonder where that Magma Giant is headed?
We need to find out, right, Ken?
Okay, let's go!
Science Ninja Team, so that's where you were!
This time I will send you to Hell for sure!
Knock Gatchaman and the others into the magma!
Ryu, it's urgent! Come here quickly!
Roger!
Ryu, we're going to push the God Phoenix to its limit.
I'll do anything if it means defeating Galactor!
Okay, everyone to positions!
Listen, we're going to make it so that they can't ever use this dome again!
Jun, I'm counting on you to take care of that girl.
Roger!
Okay, prepare to fire the Bird Missiles! Roger!
Okay, prepare to fire the Bird Missiles!
Fire!
Now!
Ryu, full power!
I have emergency orders for you.
The Magma Giant has appeared at an inactive volcano in the Calhornia peninsula
and is headed towards the environmentally friendly town.
Go to the environmentally friendly town immediately and stop the Magma Giant.
Hurry and run!
It's going to crush us!
The Science Ninja Team! You're still alive?!
Magma Giant, crush the Science Ninja Team first!
Chase them as far as is needed!
Yes, now! Now is your chance!
How dare you, Gatchaman?!
Go, Magma Giant, crush them!
That's it!
Good job both of you! The ocean is nearby!
Okay, we're ready.
Looks like it's gonna work like a charm, big brother!
We're okay over here. Good luck, Ken!
Okay, let's do it!
I have to start again from scratch.
Why would someone carve a person's face in a place like that?
Jinpei, it's rude to say things like that.
I'm carving it while praying that there will always be peace.
My father, and my grandfather both did so.
I'll continue carving the faces of Christ and the Virgin Mary
while praying for your wishes to come true.
Watching the young girl dedicating her life
to carving out a stone image while praying for peace
has caused a new fighting spirit to be born in the hearts of Gatchaman and the others.
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh

Gatchaman and the others let Galactor's Black Ray get away due to a mistake by Ryu the Owl.
Feeling at fault for this, Ryu quits the Science Ninja Team.
Even so, the four remaining members of the team bravely face the Black Ray.
But can the Science Ninja Team win against it without Ryu?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “The God Phoenix Reborn” Look forward to it!
