The Bird Missile of Bitterness
Make fools of us, will she?!
Don't let her get away!
Yeah!
Let's go!
Hey, Babe, you got a bit of skill.
Why don't you come and have fun with us?
You wench!
Looks like she means to resist us.
Yeah, let's teach the lady a little lesson.
How about it?
Oh, yeah.
Oh no, it's the captain.
What are you guys doing?
You know you don't have time to slack off in this place.
We've got an important thing to take care of,
and look what you're doing!
Move it!
Nothing good will happen to you hanging out in a place like this.
Koji! It's you, Koji, isn't it?
Is that you, Jun?
It is you, Koji Yabane!
Looks like you're in good health, Jun.
I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you doing now?
I may have been a Grand Prix racer once,
but now I'm just a stunt racer serving the country's prime minister.
Bye, then.
Koji...
Long years have changed me.
Take care, Jun.
I can't believe I bumped into Jun at a time like this.
Why did Koji run away from me?
I wonder what that " important thing" was?
Cut into a mountain valley on the outskirts of the country
is an air base for the National Defense Force.
At first, it looks like a base for fighter jets to take off and land.
But in fact, it's also an underground repository for air-to-air missiles.
Open fire! Open fire!
Good work. All is ready on our end.
Come on, quick!
The nuclear bombs are in there.
Once the timers are installed by Koji Yabane and the others,
they're designed to explode at the slightest shock
and blow up the missiles in a nuclear blast.
Now I can become the president of this country.
Jun...
Hey, what's wrong? Hurry up and set it!
Come on! Why aren't you pressing the button?
Damn it!
He's acting strange!
That's an air force base.
I wonder what's going on?
Koji! That means...
Furthermore, according to the official report,
authorities believe a large criminal organization is behind this.
And it appears an all-out manhunt will commence at any moment.
Therefore, we must conclude this was obviously a horrifying conspiracy
whose aim was to detonate the nuclear missiles in the repository,
and rain deadly radioactive fallout down on our country.
I'm at a loss.
If we make a wrong move, we could trigger a nuclear war on Earth.
Is it really the case, Doctor?
Could it have something to do with the bikers who attacked Jun?
If we had more information, we could say that was possible, but...
Jun, will you tell us in detail about what happened?
There's nothing more I can tell you.
Doctor, I've heard something that was a little odd.
They say the genius rider Koji Yabane has made a comeback as a stunt racer.
That's the childhood friend Jun was telling us about, isn't it?
Yes, he's a genius rider who disappeared three years ago.
Koji Yabane! I see, I got it!
What did you get?
It's obvious, isn't it?
It's Koji Yabane who's after the nuclear missiles, see?
And the ones controlling him are the hated Galactor.
That's gotta be it!
Jinpei!
Don't just say whatever comes to your mind!
Sis, I...
Shut up!
Stop it, you two.
Jun, I'm giving you a mission.
I want you to investigate Koji Yabane.
Doctor! Do you mean to say Koji is with Galactor?
We have to at least consider the possibility, now don't we?
I can't do it.
Jun, what's wrong?
Have you forgotten you're a part of the Science Ninja Team?
Listen, Jun.
There's no proof that Koji isn't with Galactor.
I know it's my job,
but I'm sick of this life where I've come to suspect everyone I see.
To suspect Koji...
That's something I can't do!
Sis!
That Jun, she has fits of hysteria every now and then.
She's hiding something about Koji, isn't she?
Ken, Jun is likely to approach Koji.
Keep an eye on them for me.
I'm afraid Koji is probably controlled by Galactor.
We have resorted to any means necessary in order to conquer Earth.
And we have given political power to our allies, this country's rebel army.
We intend to use this as our springboard to world conquest.
For that we paid you lots of cash when you were practically a beggar.
Making you captain of the Black Bird Squad was to attain that goal.
And yet you...
That's enough.
Yes, Sir!
I'll give you one last chance.
The president will come to watch tomorrow's auto race.
Kill the president, whatever it takes.
If you fail, Galactor will kill you.
Understand?
Let's go, Jun!
Wait!
Jun, are you okay?
Jun!
Hey, Jun!
Why, you...
Hey, c'mon! Wait!
Hey, let's cheer up and dance.
Jun, I'm watching an auto race with Joe and the others tomorrow.
How about it? Want to come with us?
Auto race?
Koji will be racing, won't he?
Yeah...
I knew it! You're keeping an eye on Koji and me, aren't you?
I bet it's an order from Dr. Nambu.
That's right.
It's about time you stopped acting like a spoiled baby!
Joe!
Jun, whether the racer called Koji is a childhood friend or not,
if we leave him alone, innocent people will fall victim.
If we don't investigate Koji, the only clue we have,
what are we, the Science Ninja Team, going to do?
We believe in Koji Yabane too.
If anything, we want to help him.
All right...

Everyone, we've kept you waiting for a long time.
But at last, the world-famous auto race, the Grand Championship, is about to start.
Today, our trustworthy President Zabal is here watching the race.
Also, making a comeback as a stunt racer, former champion Koji Yabane.
And now there are ten seconds to go!
Nine...
Eight...
Seven...
Six...
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Start!
This race can be deadly, with speeds reaching an average of 200 km/hr.
At the moment, Koji Yabane is leading the race as expected.
Listen, I'll give you one last chance.
Kill the president!
Jun...
What's happened?
Koji Yabane has slipped behind.
This is strange. Could it be mechanical trouble?
Yabane, what's wrong?
What's going on?
Kill the president!
Now that he's left the lead, who will take the first lap?
The lead racer is about to come around in front of the stands.
Koji!
Follow them!
Here I go!
Aw, man! Here I go!
Aw, man!
Damn!
This is Gatchaman.
G-2, G-4, are you okay?
Yeah, we to got enveloped in the smoke just like he wanted.
Big brother, he's pretty darn tough. What are we gonna do?
I'd bet Koji Yabane went back to a Galactor secret base.
Here's a more immediate issue: I don't see Jun around.
Now that you mention it, where did she go?
Koji...
Captain, we'll have you die as ordered.
This is G-3. G-1 , please respond.
Ken, this is horrible! Koji is about to be killed!
Jun, calm down.
Where are you right now?
At the prime minister's mansion.
It looks like the place is Galactor's secret base.
All right, we'll be there right away.
Make sure you wait until we come!
How dare you shamelessly come back alive after failing again?!
As we agreed, we'll punish you immediately.
But we won't simply kill you.
The Science Ninja Team guessed our involvement and is on the move.
So I command you to dispose of the Science Ninja Team.
Using the mecha we've provided you,
you are to attack by smashing right into the God Phoenix.
Although of course, that means you won't survive.
Try to at least finish your mission in the end and die like a man.
No matter how you cut it, you're dead anyway.
He really was being controlled by Galactor.
You're a member of that Science Ninja Team I've heard so much about.
How impressive of you to sneak in here.
I commend you.
Science Ninja Team scum, you've flown like a bug into a fiery death.
It's a woman!
Jun!
No, it can't be.
She's not Jun.
Koji, I wanted to ascertain the truth with my own eyes.
Now, there's no doubt.
What's this?
Hurry up and go!
Soon the God Phoenix will also arrive!
Jun, are you okay?
Sis, I was worried about you.
All right, strike Galactor's base!
I'll definitely give them some Bird Missiles this time!
Blinded by money, I lost sight of myself.
Jun...
Being killed by the Science Ninja Team is the least I can do to atone.
Forgive me, Jun.
Whoa, it's like they've turned into a snake!
Jeez, they're trying to make fools of us.
Be on guard! Jeez, they're trying to make fools of us.
Be on guard!
The God Phoenix can't be destroyed by mere missiles!
All right, we'll counterstrike with Bird Missiles!
Wait!
Let go! You still don't get it, do you? Wait!
Let go! You still don't get it, do you?
We'll be killed too!
That's not it.
With my own hand...
I want you to let me fire the Bird Missile with my own hand.
Okay, Jun, just don't mess up.
Damn it! At this rate, we can't even launch a Bird Missile!
Oh no! The God Phoenix will be broken to pieces!
Ken, the control stick isn't working!
That's right! Ryu, keep descending like this,
and when we've built up a lot of speed, ascend all at once!
Okay! We'll take a chance and try it!
And take that moment to blast them with a Bird Missile.
Got it?
The altitude is 2000 meters.
1500 meters...
1000 meters...
800 meters...
500 meters...
400 meters...
Goodbye, Jun.
200 meters!
Pull up! Ascend!
Roger!
Jun, now's the chance! Launch a missile!
JUN!
Koji...
Jun, you did a good job.
I killed Koji with my own hands!
JUN!
Goodbye, Koji.
Galactor cruelly destroyed Jun's beautiful memories.
Such bitter thoughts darken the Science Ninja Team's hearts.
But the Science Ninja Team is sure to continue fighting
to beat off the attacks of Galactor, mankind's enemy.

Miller, a deadly killer, eagerly awaits Gatchaman and the others.
Gatchaman is in trouble!
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "The Evil White Sea" Look forward to it!
