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
Renzilla, the Electric Monster
This is a legendary lake
where a flying dragon which survived the ice age is said to be hiding in secret.
It is a lake whose icy surface never melts throughout the year.
But strangely, the lake's surface did not freeze this winter.
Dr. Miwa, who was researching the use of the lake to generate solar energy,
could not overlook the news.
It's strange indeed, Taro.
What's wrong, Taro?
We're in trouble!
Welcome, Dr. Miwa.
Who are you?
Our master, Lord Katse, is waiting for you.
Galactor?!
This is an order from Lord Katse. You must come with us.
It's no use resisting!
Taro, deliver this.
To Dr. Nambu... Go!
Taro!
Taro...
He's late.
I wonder who the unusual guest he's going to introduce us to is?
What?
Help! Please!
Jinpei, what's the matter? It's just a dog.
Taro...
Doctor!
Sit.
Doctor, the guest is...
That's right, he's our guest, Taro.
The world famous scientist, Dr. Miwa, who's researching solar energy,
adores this dog as if it's his own son.
And this dog, Taro, brought this camera all the way to me.
Now, the pictures inside are of...
Mountain Top Lake.
As a place that can produce powerful solar energy
that can easily surpass nuclear power,
Dr. Miwa has chosen this place.
Why did he choose that particular place?
Because it's frozen throughout the year.
By turning the entire lake into a polarization glass,
he means to gather the sunlight and change it into powerful energy.
It's a wonderful invention.
But when the project was about to be completed,
Dr. Miwa disappeared.
Or rather, shocked by the lake's unusual change,
he apparently rushed out of the research center.
The lake, which is supposed to freeze into a gigantic lens,
didn't freeze this year of all years.
You mean, someone is interfering with the doctor's research?
No, it could be a more terrible scheme.
By massively expanding the doctor's research,
someone is trying to produce powerfully destructive energy.
The type of guys who plot something like that have gotta be...
Galactor!
That's right. It cannot be anyone but Galactor.
Galactor...
Open your eyes! Open your eyes and watch carefully, Dr. Miwa.
The legend of the lake has come true
with Galactor's electric monster, Renzilla.
But we are dissatisfied with Renzilla,
because nuclear power takes too long to conquer the Earth with.
I'm afraid we must take over your research.
In other words, we want to apply solar energy as Renzilla's energy source.
By doing so, we will be able to wreak destruction that will terrify the entire world.
Ten, no, a hundred times more destruction than we wreak now will instantly be made possible!
You're mad!
Say what you want.
Eventually, the entire world will grovel before Renzilla
and obey Galactor!
We, Galactor, will be able to rule the entire world!
Stop it!
If Dr. Miwa's research is used for the world's peace, that's wonderful.
But if it's used against it...
We must rescue Dr. Miwa no matter what, for the world's peace.
Besides, he's a dear friend of mine.
Doctor!
Leave it to us.
I'm counting on you.
Gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
Roger!
There's Mountain Top Lake.
Let's descend a little.
That's an entrance to Galactor's base!
All right, the God Phoenix can't proceed any further.
We must approach using each of our vehicles.
Okay! Dr. Nambu improved them to accommodate the snow.
Leave this to me.
Once we land, Ryu, you cover up and hide the God Phoenix with snow. Okay?
Every unpleasant task comes to me.
Our guide is you, Taro.
That's the entrance to the base. Okay?
Yeah!
No! It's mad to produce a prism as horrible as this.
Kill me if you want.
You'd better not shout any more. Just look at this.
Taro!
The fate of their lives is in your hands.
What?!
The fools, they're trapped rats.
That's ...
That's Dr. Miwa!
Taro!
Oh no!
That's it, Gatchaman!
Behold! Even if it's a dog, you'll see what happens to those that come against us.
A beast is a beast after all.
Not knowing it's just a TV screen, it's excited.
It's only reflecting Dr. Miwa's image.
I'll ease your pain right now.
Taro!
It's terrible.
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Gatchaman
I have a report to make.
I've been waiting, Berg Katse. Is Renzilla perfected?
Sir, it'll be perfected very soon.
All we need is the power of Dr. Miwa's solar energy
before Renzilla can conquer the world like a whirlwind.
Well done, Berg Katse.
Sir, all that's left is for Dr. Miwa to turn the switch on
before Renzilla is born.
Jeez, it didn't work this time either?
It's a super hard piece of glass. My yo-yo bomb doesn't work.
All right, let me try next.
It's useless, Jinpei. It'll be the same no matter how often you try.
But we can't stay here forever.
If Taro isn't dead, I can call him over here with this.
What if he's dead?
If it's within an hour,
a device embedded in his brain can resurrect him.
Look, it's responding.
Why didn't you tell us about the device sooner?
Stop it! Don't ! Stop it!
Taro! Stop it! Don't ! Stop it!
Taro!
Listen, Galactor,
on my order, the dog will bite your neck right now.
If you don't want that, open this glass wall immediately.
I can't do that. I'll be executed.
It can't be helped then. I'm sorry, but...
Wait! I'll do it.
All right, do it quickly!
Sure will, I will.
Doctor, it's just as if today's sun is wishing the new Renzilla well
on its start in life, isn't it?
Forgive me, Nambu, Gatchaman.
All's ready for the electric Renzilla.
Prism, polarizing at 687, ready.
Solar beam, reflection angle at 0.088, ready.
Start the count down.
16 seconds!
15, 1 4, 13, 12, 1 1 ...
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...
4, 3, 2, 1 ...
It's Gatchaman!
Taro, good dog.
Bird Run!
Dammit! Don't let them escape.
Did you let them get away?! Go after them immediately!
Without Dr. Miwa, the prism cannot be controlled properly.
Please forgive me, Gatchaman.
Although it was under duress, I sold my soul to Galactor.
But Doctor, they can't control Renzilla in the way they want yet.
Ken, look over there!
Oh, they're coming.
Jun, go at the top speed until we reach the God Phoenix.
Roger!
Kill everyone in the way! Take back Dr. Miwa!
Dammit...
All right, let me take a turn then.
Not too shabby, huh?
It's my turn next.
Doctor!
Gatchaman!
Damn!
Step on the break!
Why you!
Taro!
Ken!
Doctor!
Taro!
Taro...
God Phoenix, be prepared to take us in.
You're late. I'm dead bored of waiting.
Sorry, but we've rescued Dr. Miwa safely.
So, you did it! I'm coming.
That's problematic.
Doesn't matter! The sun is already above us.
Leader X must not be kept waiting any longer.
We'll start the experiment without Dr. Miwa. Prepare immediately.
That would be dangerous, Sir.
It's an order!
It's bad. They began the experiment.
Without me, they can't control the electric Renzilla and it will explode.
How wonderful! Leader X will be pleased.
Lord Katse, we have a problem! The emergency light's been on nonstop!
It's no good. It's not controllable.
It's bad! They can no longer handle it.
It'll go out of control and blindly burn down everything.
2700, 2800... can't take it anymore.
The God Phoenix can withstand up to 3000.
Can't take it.
Oh no!
Doctor! Doctor!
Oh, he's recovering consciousness.
Doctor, rest assured.
They destroyed themselves with what they bred themselves.
If we hadn't rescued Dr. Miwa, we would've been in real trouble.
You're right. But this time, it wasn't just our efforts alone.
You mean, Taro.
That's right. Taro saved the whole world.
Taro, I will never forget you the rest of my life.
Taro, goodbye.
The legendary lake falls into slumber, concealing its new legend,
the dog, Taro, who fought courageously and died bravely.
It was the first sad victory the Science Ninja Team experienced.

dinosaurs suddenly appear and go on a rampage.
Gatchaman follows them and sneaks into a dinosaur exhibition.
But what awaits him is Galactor's terrible Mechanical Jungle.
With his bracelet taken away, Gatchaman is in danger.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “The Mysterious Mechanized Jungle” Look forward to it!
