Hell's Mecha-Buttha
Nothing suspicious.
What a lot of work. I wonder what they're building?
Who knows. We haven't been told anything about it.
Just awating it's completion, right?
Come on, let's make one more round.
Are you okay?!
Who dug a pit here?!
Hey, this isn't a pit!
What's wrong?
Did you hear something?
No...
Anyway, Sir, we're ready to begin testing the Jet Cutter prototype.
Okay, I'll let you record the data.
This is bad! Cancel the experiment!
What's wrong, Sir?
What's going on?
What's this? What's going on?
What's this? What the heck?
Jet Cutter?
Yes, Jet Cutter generates super-high heat of about 40,000 degrees Celsius.
It's a device that, by instantly cutting through all matter via vaporization,
nears the Earth's mantle to extract non-polluting energy sources.
If it were used for evil, it would become a weapon far more terrible than any laser.
If the Jet Cutter project was that important,
why it was conducted without any security measures?
Well, I thought that protection against Galactor
wouldn't be needed unitl the device was perfected.
I never expected it would be stolen while still a prototype.
According to my sources,
the unidentified giant that stole Jet Cutter disappeared at point RX.
It appears that the U.N. jets in pursuit were shot down there as well.
Everyone, I want you to recover or destroy Jet Cutter as soon as possible.
So we're cleaning up the ISO's mess again?
What did you say, Ken?
Ken!
Well, it's true, isn't it?
"That was stolen from us; so go get it back."
"This was taken from us; do something about it."
Our entire job is cleaning up after the mistakes the ISO makes!
Ken, you're going too far!
Big brother!
Nevermind these Galactor small fry that are playing robbers.
I want to crush Berg Katse!
You must not!
Ken, the Science Ninja Team doesn't exist for the sake of personal revenge.
It's fine, I'll ask Interpol or someone for help with this. I won't ask you for help.
Please wait, Doctor!
Big brother isn't himself today. Please don't be upset!
Jinpei, don't butt in.
But big brother,
if Jet Cutter becomes Galactor's , we'll be in trouble too, right?
Right?
I get it, Jinpei.
Joe, Jun, Ryu, let's go!
What's wrong, Ken? You're in a foul mood today.
Every now and then I dream about my dad.
I start wondering if we're fighting the right way, and it makes me edgy.
Ken, I understand how you feel really well,
even though your situation is a bit different from mine.
I know we shouldn't act out of our personal feelings.
But no matter how I try to suppress it, when I think of my dad, I get upset.
I don't care about that other stuff.
I don't want to see you and the Doctor fighting.
There it is!
We're almost at point RX.
I'm bringing us down.
Okay! I'm bringing us down.
Okay!
This is the wreckage of the U.N. jets.
As we thought, Galactor must have a base somewhere nearby.
It's just mountains and wasteland as far as the eye can see.
Ken, what is that?
It's not odd to see a Buddhist statue in this region.
No, we need to investigate it.
Ryu, we'll leave you with the God Phoenix. Make sure it's ready to fly at any time.
I know, I'm the one who guards the home front.
Be sure to stay on high alert.
Let's go!
Jeez, there are Buddhist statues everywhere.
Jun and Jinpei, check out the area surrounding this mountain.
Joe and I will go check out that Buddhist statue.
Joe...
Jinpei!
Roger! Jinpei!
Roger!
They're gone.
Be very careful of them.
This is an awfully eerie place.
Yeah, I've never seen anything like this before either.
Putting this weird stuff everywhere... Somebody's sure got bad taste.
Watch out, these are no ordinary Buddhist statues.
Hey, if these guys bite us, our arms could easily be ripped off.
Ken, we should return to the God Phoenix and make a fresh start.
No, I'm going further in!
Ken!
Damn, now I can't pass through.
Hey, Ken!
I found it.
That scum Berg Katse must be hiding around here somewhere.
Oh no!
It looks like we've caught a rat in our trap.
Lord Katse, we've finished equipping Jet Cutter.
Good work.
This Mecha-Buttha is finally fully equipped then.
All right, mobilize it at once!
The target of our attack is
the International Science Organization's uranium mining facility!
Fire Jet Cutter!
Ken, Ken, wake up!
Ah, he's awake!
I...
There was high voltage electric current flowing through that iron grating!
If you hadn't been wearing gloves, it would have fried you easily. It was really close.
Damn it! I can't believe I let it happen!
What's wrong, Ken? You're not acting like yourself.
What happened to that giant?
We're pursuing it right now.
Don't worry, we'll catch up in no time.
It took a while to rescue you, you see.
Sorry.

Something's up. Ken! The giant is moving in direction PS. What's that way?
PS?
A uranium mining facility owned by the ISO's Mantle Project 3.
That's it! They're after the underground uranium deposit.
Jet Cutter was test-manufactured for that purpose after all.
Now that we know, Ryu, let's get there ahead of them.
I'm already on it!
That's it.
Okay, let's just grab it fast and return to base. That's it.
Okay, let's just grab it fast and return to base.
Looks like it submerged itself in the lake.
It's the shortest distance to the uranium mining facility.
Joe, check out the bottom of the lake with the radar.
Roger!
Ken, shall we dive into the lake?
Hold on, it'll come back out in any case.
When its head comes out, we'll blast it with Bird Missiles.
Oh yeah! That's my job!
Joe! Now!
Right!
Damn, it's the God Phoenix!
Jeez! As usual, Bird Missiles are so ineffective!
What happened?
They got our left float!
What a fearsome weapon Jet Cutter is!
Those Science Ninja Team scum are beginning to panic!
If we take care of them now, it will make our job easier.
It's no good. The enemy has four faces, so I can't find a blind spot to rush him from!
Damn it! I can't tell if he's looking backwards or forwards!
Ken, why don't you ask Dr. Nambu for advice?
I couldn't do that now.
Our right float is damaged!
Ken, this is no time to be stubborn!
Our vertical tail-plane is damaged!
Our front tires are damaged!
Ken!
Ascend at 90 degrees! Altitude 500!
Ryu, keep circling and don't let the monster get one step from where it is!
What? Something's odd. Jet Cutter's beam of light can't reach us.
It shouldn't .
After all, every weapon has a shooting distance.
Way to go, Gatchaman!
Who would think that, while we were being hit, you were measuring distances.
Jun, read the information on Jet Cutter to me.
Let me see...
Based on the engineer's report at the research center, it seems it wasn't perfected yet.
If you fire Jet Cutter continuously,
there's a danger of triggering a nuclear explosion from within.
That must be why they temporarily cancelled the experiments.
All right, Ryu, get our altitude up to 3000 kilometers.
What? What are we doing?
3000 kilometers is the upper limit of the God Phoenix, you know.
Altitude 3000!
All right, everyone, get in your own mecha.
What do you have in mind?
Science Ninja Technique Firebird: Shadow Separation!
What?!
We've never tried it before, but it's the best method to use right now.
Let's go!
Ryu, I'll leave the timing up to you.
Okay! Everyone, please trust my ability!
Go!
Captain, the uranium deposit is 1000 meters below us.
Okay, get rid of the buildings in our way.
Yes, Sir!
What's wrong?
Something's approaching us, Sir. What's wrong?
Something's approaching us, Sir.
What the heck is that?
That's the Firebird!
So that's the Science Ninja Team's Firebird that I've heard so much about.
Fire Jet Cutter!
Ignite the rocket engines!
Firebird Shadow Separation!
Don't stop firing the Jet Cutter!
Keep shooting!
They got our rocket engines!
Damn it! Fire!
Keep firing!
Fire! Fire!
Fire!
Just before an internal nuclear explosion occured,
it was bathed in the heat from the Firebird and self-destructed.
Way to go, Ken!
So you got your own way in terms of not yielding to Dr. Nambu.
No, I shouldn't have done that.
I apologize, I'm sorry.
But I think Dr. Nambu should also understand how big brother feels.
It's okay, Jinpei. I don't want to spout excuses at this point.
I am not Ken the Eagle, out to revenge my dad's death;
I'm Gatchaman, the leader of the Science Ninja Team.
Please forgive me for dragging you into things due to my personal feelings.
Right, Ken.
If we defeat Galactor one soldier at a time, we'll definitely corner Berg Katse.
Let's go on without getting impatient.
Along with Mecha-Buttha, Jet Cutter sank to the bottom of the lake.
But Galactor is probably already preparing its next attack.
Go, Science Ninja Team!
Until you crush Galactor's ambitions!

Where is Galactor's factory that makes them one after another?
Gatchaman finds out and sneaks into the mecha factory alone.
But by that time, it is too late.
Komaking, the fearsome and far superior iron beast has been built.
Will Gatchaman and the others be able to defeat Komaking?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "The Secret of the Monster Mecha Factory" Look forward to it!
