The Sea Lion Ninja Team in the Nig ht Fog
Sea Lion Island,
a small island in the North Seas seemingly forgotten by the world.
The island is surrounded by a thick ring of coral reefs,
which you rarely see in the North Seas, making it impossible for ships to approach.
The island is covered by fog all year round, and its only inhabitants are sea lions,
as the name suggests.
Look at that! There's something there!
It's just as Lord Katse suspected.
Let's take a souvenir and head back.
On this island is a secret mining facility of the International Science Organization.
But it has now been discovered by Galactor.
Leader, exactly what is this ore brought back from Sea Lion Island?
From our analysis, we have determined that it possesses great energy.
Then is it uranium?
More energy than that.
What?
This is the first time it has been discovered on Earth.
It is called kaenine.
Kaenine?
It must have been created by the influence of the deep-sea coral on the soil of Sea Lion Island.
Berg Katse, attack Sea Lion Island, wipe out the defending forces and take the kaenine ore.
However, the island is covered by fog all year round,
so make sure to take every precaution in your actions.
Do you understand?
Yes, Sir. Leave it to me, Katse!
Already, the seas around Sea Lion Island are filled with Galactor's Jellyfish submarines,
while Beetleton fighter planes circle the skies looking for an opportunity.
This is immediately reported to International Science Organization headquarters,
and a meeting is held on rescuing the workers on the island and securing the kaenine.
At this rate, Galactor will take over Sea Lion Island
and the kaenine ore will fall into their hands.
We must prevent this from happening at all costs.
Director Anderson, we have no choice but to ask the Science Ninja Team for help.
Yeah!
I agree! Yeah!
I agree! No objections.
Please hold on a moment.
The mining on Sea Lion Island is already over.
Rescuing the workers should be prioritized above all else.
If we try to fly out the kaenine ore, Galactor certainly won't just stand by and watch.
If we do this, how many lives will be sacrificed?
That is exactly what Galactor wants.
We will practically be walking into their trap.
Then Dr. Nambu, are you saying that it's all right to just let them take the kaenine?
Doctor, I know how you feel, but with the kaenine we can wipe out Galactor!
No matter how precious the stone is,
I cannot believe that it is more important than human lives.
Above all else, the mission of the Science Ninja Team is to protect human lives.
Excuse me!
And so, under orders from Dr. Nambu, the Science Ninja Team
heads to Sea Lion Island to protect the fleet and rescue the workers.
Our mission is to quickly transport the people on Sea Lion Island via those ships, right?
Dang, we're like a school bus for kindergarteners.
Idiot! This is a very important job.
They're waiting for us to come.
Yes, it's a very important mission that only we can do.
No complaining.
Still, I don't like that we're sneaking around instead of striding in with our heads held high.
Leave it up to me. I'm used to flying stealthily.
I just hope the workers on Sea Lion Island are safe.
We're not moles!
Just how long are you going to keep us trapped in this hole?!
Idiot!
Just try going out there now! You'll be blown to bits in a second! I won't let you go!
What is taking the rescue team so long? Tell me, Chief!
They'll come. They'll definitely come.
They're not going to just sit back and watch us die.
Maybe they won't come until we're already skeletons. Damn!
Chief!
What is it? Pull yourself together!
I just received word over the radio that the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
is on their way to rescue us.
Really?
Good news, everyone! We're going to be saved!
I'm picking up what appears to be a fleet on the seas to our south.
Distance?
Two kilometers.
So they came to rescue the guys on Sea Lion Island, huh?
Okay, let's use our stealth tactics to sink them.
All ships, move out!
Captain, it's approximately 2500 meters to Sea Lion Island.
With the fog this thick, we may be able to get there without being discovered by Galactor.
What's wrong?!
Captain! Torpedoes are approaching from our current heading!
What?!
Bring her about quickly! Hard to starboard!
Ken! I've picked up an SOS signal!
What? Oh no! Galactor had submarines!
Captain, I'm sorry. We were here with you, and yet...
Now that this has happened,
I intend to bring even this one ship close to the island and save the workers.
Please stay close to our God Phoenix from here on out.
I'm counting on you, Gatchaman.
Those guys on the island are eagerly awaiting us.
So you swaggered out here just as I thought you would, Gatchaman scum!
We're going to take the kaenine ore of course,
but I guess we'll also take care of Gatchaman while we're at it!
Ken! I'm picking up what look like enemy fighters.
Dead ahead at a height of 2000 meters!
All right, we'll use the weapon Dr. Nambu prepared for us.
Ryu!
Okay, here we go!
Lord Katse, we cannot continue with our missile attack because of their artificial fog.
They've got some nerve!
All right, let's leave the rest up to the Jellyfish submarines
and go to the island to take the kaenine!
Looks like it worked.
That metallic fog was like magic, huh?
To explain, the metal particles interfered with the radar signals.
I see. Dr. Nambu sure is impressive.
Defense is the best offense, eh?
We can't let our guard down yet.
I'm pretty sure they'll attack us from the sea this time.
Jinpei!
Finally! It's my turn to shine now! Jinpei!
Finally! It's my turn to shine now!
Leave it up to me!
Joe, how far are we from the island?
About a kilometer. But we can't get any closer on a ship because of the coral reef.
Okay, Jinpei. Can you defeat the submarine fleet,
blow up the coral reef and get to the island?
Nothing is impossible for me, the great Jinpei the Swallow.
I'm counting on you, Jinpei.
Numerous lives are in your hands.
Leave it up to me!
My arms may be thin, but they're as strong as steel.
Ow!
What is this?! They're jellyfish monsters!
Dammit!
Okay!
How's about that?
Finally, the time has come to take the kaenine.
Crush them so completely that they cannot resist!
No matter how much you struggle, this island will become property of Galactor!
What is this?
Whew, don't scare me like that!
Sheesh, that startled me. These guys are all sea lions!
That tickles, stop it.
Oh yeah, now's not the time to be playing around.
Bye-bye, sea lions! See you later!

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
So you've come, you Galactor scum!
Whoa, whoa!
I'd rather you not make such a mistake.
I am the great Jinpei the Swallow from the Science Ninja Team!
I've come to rescue you all, and you say I'm from Galactor? How mean.
Then...
Come on, we have to hurry and escape this island together.
But how?
I'm telling you, leave it to me, the great Jinpei!
No, wait... What SHOULD we do?
Big brother, this is Jinpei. Can you hear me? Come in, big brother.
This is Gatchaman.
Jinpei, it sounds like you were able to land on the island.
Yeah, I managed.
But I don't know how to transport all these people.
Listen, Jinpei, there are a lot of sea lions on the island, right?
Use your head.
In other words, this is Operation: Sea Lion.
Huh? Operation: Sea Lion? Oh, I see!
All right, let's land and take that kaenine. Begin!
The sea lions are escaping from the island.
Shoot! I thought I'd get to eat some cooked sea lion.
We hit them that hard and they're still shooting missiles at us?
Something's wrong!
Go! Find every last one of them and kill them!
You imbeciles!
Not one person is left on the island?! What is the meaning of this?
Lord Katse, from what I've seen, we allowed nothing to escape
other than some sea lions leaving the island.
Sea lions don't matter!
Wait! Sea lions, you say?
Could it be...
That's the Ken I know! He's so smart.
Man, fooling them with sea lions... No one could SEA through that!
Oh no! They've pulled one on us!
Dammit! Load the kaenine and go after them right away!
I'll sink them into the sea, along with the Science Ninja Team!
Hurry!
You did it, Jinpei.
Yup! Pretty brilliant job, huh?
What are you talking about? It's all thanks to the sea lions.
Jeez... Well, thank all your friends for me.
It's too soon to relax.
Galactor will be coming after us, make no mistake.
Okay, full speed ahead!
Sea lions sure are smart.
They go home when their business is finished.
Jinpei, what are you doing?
Well...
Sis, we can take him home and keep him as a pet, can't we?
You're hopeless. I told you to return him to his friends.
Haven't we caught up yet,
to those hated ones who dared to insult me?!
It's no use, Lord Katse.
They're releasing a special fog that interferes with our radars.
They're getting away!
Not again! Find them with the radars on the Jellyfish submarines!
I've found the transport ship!
All right, one torpedo is enough. Fire!
It's a torpedo!
Oh no!
Damn! Ryu, destroy Galactor's submarine!
Will do!
Here come those Science Ninja Team scum! Destroy them!
You damn Jellyfish monsters! Just you wait!
Good, Ryu. Now, crash into them and blow them to bits!
How do you like this, Gatchaman?
If you keep acting up, I'm going to bombard this ship with lasers!
What happens to the workers you went to all that trouble to save isn't my problem.
Now drop your weapons and come out of the God Phoenix, quick!
We have no choice. Let's go.
Ken!
We're the ones Katse wants.
Ready, everyone?
You're sensible, Gatchaman. That saves me some trouble.
Well then, I'll skip the formalities and execute you right now, Science Ninja Team.
Ready! Aim!
Sea lion, hurry and escape!
It got away!
Now!
Shoot! Shoot!
Kill every last one of them!
Bird Run!
Hold it!
Bird Run!
How dare you get in my way?
Just you wait, you Gatchaman scum!
Ken!
Oh no! Ken!
Oh no!
Hey, hurry up!
I can figure out a simple device like this, no problem!
Ryu, do you have it?
I'm telling you, leave it to me.
Dammit! There should be a button for the laser beam somewhere!
What about this? Or this? No!
This is it!
Here we go!
That Gatchaman got me again!
That's the Ryu I know!
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Good job, everyone.
This should put Director Anderson at ease too.
Thanks to you, we were able to retrieve the kaenine as well.
Above all, this was thanks to the teamwork of the Science Ninja Team.
This time, even the sea lions helped us out.
I'll be waiting for you with a large supply of the fish they love so much.
Over and out.
Say, Sis, I really can't keep this sea lion for a pet?
Nope! Let's donate him to a zoo.
Yeah! Then I can see you every day.
Hey, Jinpei. Are you planning to go to the zoo every day?
Of course! He saved all our lives.
