Jigokillers, the People-Eating Flowers (Part 2 )
Sis...
Jinpei, dance with me.
Sis!
Sis, when was it that you took me in?
I was at the orphanage when you took me in, saying you were an orphan like me.
All right, let me try comforting him.
Leave him alone. It's better to leave him alone for now.
But look, Jinpei loves Jun as if she was his real sister.
If he's sad, he should hate Galactor.
The hatred can help him forget his sadness.
Just like I did...
There are times I don't understand him.
I wonder if I was wrong?
Ken...
We should've looked for Jun at that time, no matter what.
But it couldn't have been helped, Ken. We had no choice.
Where's the justice when someone was left to die?
I absolutely can't stand the Science Ninja Team anymore.
What are you saying, Ken? Are you serious?!
If I wasn't a member of the Science Ninja Team,
I would have saved Jun then, no matter what it took.
Even if you had to desert ten million people?
We're not the only ones who help the citizens.
Police, the International Science Organization...
Why are we the only ones who suffer?
Why are we the only ones who must sacrifice our teammate?
Ken, you're under too much strain.
Jinpei and Jun, the orphans together, have lived side-by-side like a family.
Despite that, I...
Ah, it's the end of the Science Ninja Team.
It looks like we'll all go our separate ways.
I'm glad you've come.
Take a look. Can you believe it's the tiny flower you delivered?
Jigokillers exhibit behavior where they grow larger in the dark and in the water
and they get smaller in the sun to protect themselves.
A lot more incredible than our transformation then.
You've heard of Sea Monkeys, right?
Until all the conditions are met for it to hatch,
that tiny creature lives inside its egg forever.
Jigokiller is the same.
Long ago, I mean, an era before humans had appeared,
apparently, there was a time on Earth when it only rained and thundered.
I believe these flowers probably lived during that era.
They'd have been much bigger then.
Eventually, the sun shone over the Earth,
and a bright and peaceful time arrived.
Jigokiller became a small flower
to protect itself from spending any excess energy.
Next, to avoid the sunshine, it shrouded itself inside a hard shell and hibernated.
But why does the Jigokiller attack women only?
I don't know yet. Once I figure that out,
I should be able to come up with a plan to destroy the Jigokillers all at once.
But weren't the Jigokillers annihilated by our incineration plan the other day?
Yeah! Ever since, I haven't heard of any damage done by a Jigokiller.
You're wrong. Jigokillers are still thriving.
That strategy only stopped it from continuing to multiply itself, I believe.
lf... If the Jigokillers are still alive,
what have we sacrificed Jun for?!
Do you still believe that Jun was inside a flower?
What's wrong, Ken?! Joe! Jinpei!
Doctor, it's no good. They believe we killed Jun.
Me too...
How foolish! Why do none of you trust me?
Jun was wearing the protective suit I built.
It is made to withstand both pressure and heat.
If she was inside one of the flowers, she would have appeared from the site of fire.
The white spores that flew into the sky
after the incineration plan of the Science Ninja Team
were growing in Willy City's underground which is equipped with the world's best sewer system.
This is Nambu. G-1 , please respond.
This is Nambu. Gatchaman, please respond.
Ken! What's wrong? Why are you not responding?
Ken!
Ken, what's wrong?
Respond!
Ken, respond!
Ken...
We have news to report.
Jigokillers, which were thought to have been annihilated by the ISO,
suddenly appeared yesterday from Willy City's sewers and are on a rampage around the city.
Turn it off!
And because of this, most citizens are... Turn it off!
And because of this, most citizens are...
Ken!
What's wrong? I heard you didn't respond to Dr. Nambu's call.
I know what he wants. He wants us to fly to Willy City.
If you want, you guys can go, but I won't .
You are the leader of the Science Ninja Team.
I'm a human too.
I've had enough of things like killing friends with my own hands!
I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want.
Who are you?
Red lmpulse...
Coward!
Science Ninja Team? Gatchaman? To Hell with that!
Leave me alone. A stranger like you can never understand how I feel.
Of course, I can't understand. I'm a man.
I'm not a spineless, sissy like you.
How dare you?!
Then you still have enough will power to get angry.
You, bastard!
Dammit!
Why do you brood over allowing one of your teammates to die?
I've been forced to allow many of my friends and subordinates to die.
There are times when that cannot be helped.
You can't protect the Earth from Galactor without getting your hands dirty.
It's not like Jun is dead for sure. Why don't you verify it?
If she's dead, why don't you salvage her bones?
If she's alive, she must be in trouble and she can't even get in touch.
You should search and leave no stone unturned.
That's what a teammate would do.
That's ...
Bird Scramble! Jun!
Jun, respond! It's me! It's Ken!
Jun... Jun is still alive.
What? Bird Scramble?
Yes! I'm not the only one who noticed it.
It reached Joe, Ryu and Jinpei too.
Bird Scramble is used when you cannot communicate by words,
and it's launched by pressing the bracelet hard.
But this could be a trap.
A trap?
This is only speculation,
but it could be launched if Galactor got hold of the bracelet
and hit it without knowing how it worked.
Even if it's a trap, please let us go, Doctor.
Right now, we have to do it, otherwise...
All right... Science Ninja Team, gather! Launch the God Phoenix!
It looks like you've been brought back to your senses, Ken. Go! Attack Galactor!
The Science Ninja Team moves out,
but Willy City has already become a dead city due to the Jigokiller's attack.

The troops of Jigokillers that appeared in Willy City
were incinerated by United Nations Forces.
But as they burned, the Jigokillers spewed out thousands of spores,
and whenever it rained, they grew, making it impossible to do anything about them.
To root out the Jigokillers,
the people had no choice but to destroy their own city.
Jeez, I can't bear to watch.
They're destroying their city with their own hands.
That's what Galactor wants.
Galactor is destroying the city without lifting their fingers.
This case, where Galactor doesn't show up openly, is unusual.
Ken, what're we going to do now?
Let's leave the Jigokillers alone. We'll search for their base.
But where are we to look?
It's located somewhere in this city. I'm sure of it.
We'll find it, leaving no stone unturned.
I'm sure Jun will contact us too.
Commander, it looks like Willy City is almost completely destroyed.
What an easy strategy.
Just by digging out the Jigokiller seeds from the bottom of the Earth,
we were able to throw the world into turmoil.
Lord Katse!
Commander, I heard there's a woman whom even a Jigokiller couldn't kill.
What happened to her?
Yes, Sir, we examined her,
and it turned out she's wearing a strong protective suit.
A protective suit?
Yes, Sir, she stayed alive inside a Jigokiller that was incinerated by Nambu,
so we brought her here.
Good! Examine the protective suit.
It will be useful for our Jigokiller plan in the future.
What about the woman?
Even if she's a spy from the ISO, she probably won't rat. Execute her!
Yes, Sir!
Wow, this was a subway before.
Even though people worked hard to build it, it was easy to destroy.
Although I know it won't do anything to guys,
it doesn't feel good to be around them.
Ken, do you really think Jun will contact us?
Yeah...
What if it's a trap like Dr. Nambu said?
Jun is alive.
If it was a Galactor trap, they would have started something by now.
I don't understand. No matter what poison I use, nothing works.
What on earth is the Jigokiller's weakness?
Ouch!
What's going on?
It died! The Jigokiller died.
Blood? After my blood entered its body, it died.
Of course! The reason Jigokillers don't attack men...
Why couldn't I figure out something as simple as that?!
Let me show you something interesting.
This is what Galactor uses, the execution platform of terror.
It's called Iron Claw.
Because of your silly adventure, this is happening to you.
Slowly taste the approaching terror!
The sharp needles will skewer you!
There! It's Bird Scramble! Joe!
It's time to act, Ken.
Sis!
All right, let's return to the God Phoenix.
Science Ninja Team, move out!
Roger!
Ken, it's close. Northeast, 4 km!
Good! Ryu, go right in!
Roger!
The sewer! They're hiding inside the sewer!
Who the hell?
We finally found you, Galactor! This is the Science Ninja Team!
Gatchaman!
Let's go!
You bastard!
Jun!
Ryu! Jun!
Ryu!
Wait a sec, I'll rescue you now.
What the heck, you bastards?!
Why, you!
Ryu! Ryu!
Ryu!
Damn you!
Bird Go!
And what do we find causing trouble? Just a small fish.
How dare you?!
Ken!
You acted without leave!
Big brother isn't honest with how he feels, is he?
If he's happy, why can't he embrace her instead?
You're getting a little carried away there.
This is Nambu. Is it you, Ken?
Doctor, we've rescued Jun.
Is that right? That's good.
Ken, on my end, I found a method to annihilate the Jigokillers.
It was simple. The reason Jigokillers don't attack men
is because, inside men's bodies, there is something that poisons them.
Huh? Poison inside our bodies?
It's the chromosomes. Listen, females have two X-chromosomes,
while men have X and Y-chromosomes.
Jingokillers need X-chromosomes,
but they react abnormally to Y-chromosomes, which men alone have.
I have borrowed a large quantity of Y-chromosomes
from the Chromosome Research Center and built a special bomb.
Just now, Red lmpulse took off towards where you are.
It's just a matter of time before the Jigokillers perish.
Look, the Jigokillers are rapidly dying off.
If only we had found the solution sooner,
this city could have been saved from destruction.
The water color is changing. It's the end of the Jigokillers.
Ah, there's the Red lmpulse Squad!
I can't help feeling that, somehow, he's not just a stranger to me.
Did something happen?
Well, I was just clobbered.
The Jigokillers, the terrible, people-eating flowers, have perished.
By baptizing him with a rough, iron fist,
Red lmpulse helped Gatchaman get back on his feet.
In Gatchaman's heart,
the figure of Red lmpulse is seared, redder than the setting sun.

Murder Music...
Leader X of Galactor has finally perfected it.
Berg Katse kidnaps the world's best rock band and forces them to perform it.
People collapse one after another from the Murder Music aired by the Sonic Mecha.
How will Gatchaman stop the evil hand of Galactor?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “Murder Music” Look forward to it!
