Take that!
Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman, G-1 !
Ditto, G-2!
G-3!
G-4!
G-5!
The test results are passable.
Now we just have to install memory circuits into their electronic brains.
Wow, impressive as ever, Dr. Nambu! I can't believe they're robots!
This is like each of us has a copy of ourselves!
Now there'll be no place for us.
So we're finally going to get dumped, huh?
No, they're for an operation that uses dummies of all the Science Ninja Team members.
They may be robots, but they look just like you.
Their electronic brains enable them to act on their own will.
They're super-robots created using the amassed scientific knowledge
of the International Science Organization.
This is an operation that will locate a secret Galactor base,
while also enabling us to protect the lives of Science Ninja Team.
It's killing two birds with one stone.
Then are you saying, Doctor, that the real us can't do our jobs?
Ken, that's not what he's saying.
Dr. Nambu is concerned about our safety, and...
I know that.
But we've already agreed to die for the cause.
So why NOW? Give me a break.
That's not how it is, Ken.
You have an important mission to fulfill too.
We'll deliberately let Galactor capture these robots,
then have the robots' electronic brains
transmit the secret base's location and information about it to us.
With that, we'll to formulate a plan to catch Berg Katse.
Then we'll have you, the real Science Ninja Team, take action.
I understand, Dr. Nambu.
Good! We'll deploy the robots immediately and begin the sting operation.
Roger!
A few days later,
the International Police Federation announced that they would hold
a ceremony to pay tribute to the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman's
outstanding performance and achievements.
All members of the Science Ninja Team are expected to attend.
The Science Ninja Team, which has been veiled in secrecy up until now,
will finally make a public appearance.
This news was quickly broadcast and spread worldwide.
You should be gratified, Berg Katse.
The perfect opportunity to test the power of our new mecha has arrived.
What do you mean by that, Sir?
The truth is, I've been working round the clock lately,
so I haven't been able to watch any news.
You imbecile, listen carefully!
Tomorrow, all members of the Science Ninja Team
are supposedly going to nonchalantly make an appearance at New City.
So if we make our new mecha go on a rampage there,
that Gatchaman bunch I hate so much will...
Exactly!
By the way, the new mecha has already been completed, correct?
Yes, Sir, of course.
However, we haven't yet finished running performance tests.
I don't care! Deploy it immediately and destroy Science Ninja Team!
Certainly, Sir.
So that Ninja Team will... All right!
Check it out! I know it's me saying this, but we look pretty cool, huh?
Wow! I want to be in the parade too!
But do you really think Galactor will be fooled and snatch those robots for us?
I don't know... But they look so much like us, I think they will.
Ken, where are you going?
I'm going to take a little walk.
Heh, I bet he's self-conscious.
80,000 people are gathered here at TYA Stadium,
hoping to catch a glimpse of the Science Ninja Team
and applaud them for their various achievements.
We're only moments away from witnessing the Science Ninja Team
making a grand appearance in front of this crowd of spectators!
This is a very tense moment!
All of the audience's attention is focused on that single spot!
G-1 , switch places with me.
Go back to the observation deck and wait for Dr. Nambu's orders.
I will go back to the observation deck and wait for Dr. Nambu's orders.
Hurry!
Roger!
The robots will be found out right away.
Galactor isn't that easy to beat.
Now Dr. Nambu from the International Science Organization,
the creator of the Science Ninja Team,
is shaking hands with each member, honoring their achievements.
What is that?
Those clouds look very strange!
What's that?
Science Ninja Team, this is Nambu!
A mecha monster of Galactor's is here!
So they came, just like we expected.
Let's see.
What the hell is that?
Doctor, we'll be right there to help you!
Don't ! If you make the wrong move now, you'll jeopardize the operation.
Just stand by, all right?
Come on, they're gonna get us if we just sit back and do nothing!
No! I won't authorize you to move out!
All of you stand by until I give further orders!
Damn it!
But if we go right now, we could take it out!
Oh, Ken, where have you been?
Big brother, we've got a problem!
That's our Ken. He wants to move out right away.
All right, we'll get ready too.
But we're still supposed to be standing by!
I know, I know. We're just going to get ready, that's all.
Oh, aren't you coming with us, Ken?
We have been ordered to stand by.
I knew it was a robot! So this means the real Ken is... No way!
Did you see that? That's the power of Galactor's new mecha monster, Mammoth Blizzarder!
Captain, all members of the Science Ninja Team have escaped!
What?!
Go after them! Don't let a single one of them get away!
Looks like I've got company.
I've been waiting for you wearing an anti-electricity suit!
Damn it!
Good, that went well.
Dr. Nambu! Please give us permission to move out! Ken...
What about Ken?
The robots are about to tell us the exact location of Galactor's secret base.
You guys can go into action after that.
No, that'd be too... Well...
What is it?
I understand. We will be standing by.
Big brother's been acting a little odd,
and now even Sis has gotten weird.
Can't we pin down the location of Galactor's base yet?
Try doing the circuit again.
Yes, Sir.
Latitude is still 90 degrees. It has stopped at the North Pole.
Latitude 90 degrees... The North Pole, huh?
If the transmitter is working correctly,
then a large Galactor secret base is hidden under that thick ice?

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
A Bird Scramble!
Huh?
Hey, Jun! Huh?
Hey, Jun!
What's up?
I've been keeping this a secret from you guys, but... Ken isn't here.
So that means the guy right there is...
That's right.
Ken disobeyed Dr. Nambu all alone and switched places with the robot.
Look...
The order is to stand by. Look...
The order is to stand by.
That bastard! He stole a march on us!
I'm sorry. I thought if we all started acting on our own, we'd jeopardize the operation, so...
I know. Don't worry, we won't tell either.
Hey, Sis, first things first, find out where big brother is right now.
Oh, you're right. Give me a second.
Latitude 90 degrees. It's the North Pole!
What, the North Pole? They sure chose a cold place!
As long as we know the location of the base, we're all set!
That's right! We have to rescue Ken as soon as possible!
They're still alive!
What?! Stubborn bastards! Get them!
Take this, you bastards!
No matter how invincible you think you are, there's no way you can withstand 5 million volts!
Captain! They're robots!
What?
I see, the members of the Science Ninja Team, whom we thought were invincible,
were nothing but robots all along!
What a juicy secret. Lord Katse will be delighted.
You imbecile!
You're telling me the members of the Science Ninja Team are robots?!
All the data on them up until now
has proven the Science Ninja Team to be living humans!
Be careful, those robots are decoys.
They're trying to locate our secret base!
The God Phoenix will be here before we know it.
Prepare to attack immediately!
The hated Science Ninja Team has managed to locate this base.
Strengthen our defenses
and shoot down their God Phoenix with our Mammoth Blizzarder!
Move out, now!
Yes, Sir!
And while you're at it, pick up all the scraps
from those damned robots and shoot them at the God Phoenix!
There!
Meanwhile, after receiving an official order from Dr. Nambu,
the Science Ninja Team heads to the North Pole, where Galactor's secret base is located.
And of course, Dr. Nambu is not aware that the real Ken has taken the place of his robot.
What was that explosion?
That could be Galactor's base.
Huh?!
Reverse thrust!
Roger!
This is not good. Make a sharp turn!
I know, I'm on it!
There's no help for it. We've got no choice but to use Science Ninja Technique: Firebird.
Hold on. Robot G-1 , evacuate through the top dome immediately.
G-1 , I will evacuate through the top dome.
Let's draw their attention to the dummy while we make an escape.
You're pretty slick, Jun.
All right, fasten your seat belts, got it? Okay, let's do it!
Captain, we've spotted Gatchaman!
So he's finally given up and come out? Kill him!
Now!
Here we go! Science Ninja Technique: Firebird!
Lord Katse, I hope you're pleased by the news.
We have finally brought down Gatchaman!
Fool! How would a human body explode? That was a robot!
No way! Those robots turned into ashes, Sir!
We were just about to dispose of them!
Gatchaman! When did he...
Now I get it. This motor is the vital part of the freezer beam.
All right!
Look what you've done! I got yelled at by Lord Katse again!
Hurry up and bring down the God Phoenix! Hurry!
Captain, the freezer beam isn't working!
Moron! If freezer beam isn't working, just switch to the laser beam and shoot it!
Yes, Sir!
Laser beam, ready to shoot!
Good, now lock on!
We can't take any more!
Jinpei!
Sis!
Good, good! Finally, the Firebird will turn into ashes!
Captain! We've got a problem!
What?
Something has gotten inside the motor and we're unable to fire!
How could it break down at a time like this?!
I did a little work on it.
Who are you?!
The call me the Science Ninja Team's Gatchaman!
When did you...
I figured you'd be disappointed if you only got a bunch of robots,
so I, the real one, have decided to come.
Ah, shut up! I swear I'll kill you this time!
Move! I'll do it!
If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me! We'll die together!
Ryu, we have to save Ken, fast!
That's right, save big brother!
All right, it's time... We'll make a fast turn...
Big brother is dead!
Stop it! A boy should never show his tears no matter how sad he is!
I know Ken is...
Huh? What's that?
What is that?
Ken...
He's so good! Those were the robot's capes!
Hey, Ryu, I guess this means we'd better go pick him up, huh?
Yeah, we wouldn't be so cool if we were missing a member, right?
What's the matter, Jun?
You're an idiot! You're such an idiot!
Sis, you're being such a baby. I can't watch this.
Oh, please! You're not a little kid, I mean, honestly...
Come on, Jinpei, that's not for kids to see. Oh, please! You're not a little kid, I mean, honestly...
Come on, Jinpei, that's not for kids to see.
Ken was ready to honestly apologize to Dr. Nambu for disobeying orders.
And because of this operation, which couldn't have been carried out by just robots,
Ken realized something afresh.
And that is, the biggest weapon
that the flesh-and-blood members of the Science Ninja Team have
is the courage to face any danger.

Players from both baseball teams suddenly disappear right in front of the audience.
After receiving the news, Gatchaman and the others rush to the mystery-filled stadium.
However, awaiting them there are those same players,
acting like completely different people.
The players' mecha curve balls keep on attacking endlessly.
What is Gatchaman's destiny? And what of the players?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “Massacring Mecha Curve Balls” Look forward to it!
