It's the white wings of Gatchaman
You stake your life and fly out
That's the Science Ninja Technique Firebird
Fly! Fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go! Go, go, Gatchaman
There is only one Earth
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
You stake your life and fly out
That's the Science Ninja Technique Firebird

There is only one Earth
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
Mortal Blow! Gatchaman Fire
Through the development of a technological civilization,
humanity has been able to achieve great prosperity.
However, in exchange, it has produced large amounts of pollution,
which has eaten away at everything, even people's hearts.
And now humanity is on the verge of losing what were once its friends:
animals, insects and even beautiful Nature.
In order to bring these many friends back,
they've created a plan to develop nonpolluting energy
using things like subterranean magma and the Earth's mantle,
and bring nature back to life all over the world.
This project, which is to create a new world where people can live truly peaceful lives,
is called the Mantle Project.
Scientists and engineers from various differnt fields
have been working on research for the project day in and day out
here at the International Science Organization.
Berg Katse, are you ready to launch the combining iron beasts, the Jellyfish Mechas?
Yes, Sir, everything has been going smoothly.
Good! Destroy the Mantle Project by using the Jellyfish Mechas,
which were created using all the power of Galactor's scientific knowledge!
Yes, Sir, however...
What is it?
Wouldn't it save us trouble if we waited for the Mantle Project to be completed first,
and then conquered the world?
What did you say?
In other words, we, Galactor, will steal the entire finished Mantle Project!
Enough of your nonsense!
We have the ability to survive even in the midst of pollution.
But, Sir...
Silence!
It seems that you still don't understand what I'm thinking.
Although, it would be disgrace to the name of Leader X
if a little human like you could possibly understand my every thought.
Eventually, the day will come when you too will be able to understand everything about my plan.
And that's the day you will...
The day I will...
You mean, this?
Don't be ridiculous. On the day we successfully conquer the world,
I shall grant you the name of Leader Z!
Leader Z? You mean, I'll be a leader?
Leader Z, huh? I can't believe I'll get to become a leader.
I have to do my best!
lmbecile! All we need is one leader, me!
“Z” is my code for “ murder!”
What is that?
I bet these people have been looking forward to getting this air mail.
G-1 , come in.
Yes, this is G-1 , Gatchaman.
This is an emergency call.
All members of the Science Ninja Team are to combine immediately and stand by at point 006!
Roger!
Hey!
Over here!
Thanks for waiting!
Thank you!
Why does he have to be so rough?
Bird Go!
What took you so long, big brother? You're ten minutes late!
C'mon, don't be like that.
I was working my part-time job delivering air mail.
So you've got the green then.
What do you mean?
I'm have to ask you to pay your tab at the Snack Jun.
So, what's the mission?
That's dirty! He's trying to change the subject!
Jinpei!
Ryu, contact Dr. Nambu.
You got it.
He got you that time, didn't he, Ken?
Members of the Science Ninja Team,
the pollution-free city which was being constructed under the Mantle Project
has been destroyed by Galactor.
Also, it's been detected that Galactor rockets are heading for the Goli Desert,
which we believe will be the next target.
The Goli Desert?
Correct, the ISO is currently building a large dam in the middle of the Goli Desert
designed to turn saltwater brought in from the sea into fresh water.
We assume that's what Galactor is after.
The dam located in the Goli Desert is capable of transforming a vast desert into greenery.
It's one of the most vital facilities in the world.
If such a facility is ever destroyed, it will cause a significant delay in the entire Mantle Project.
Do your best for me, Science Ninja Team!
Joe, focus the radar on the Goli Desert.
What's the matter, Joe?
Yeah, yeah...
I have a bad feeling about this.
How are we supposed to fight Galactor without weapons?
But we've already gotten this far with just our brains and courage!
I wonder how long that's going to last?
I can't believe Joe's actually whining. Something's up with that.
I can't deny Galactor already knows how we play our cards.
But we still have to fight!
Damn it! Are we too late?
Ken, the levee was just destroyed, that's all. We still have to protect the desalination facility!
I know that. Ryu, get in front of it!
All right!
Okay, we're going to attack it with a barrage of Bird Missiles!
Joe, are you with me?
I'll let you handle it, Ken.
So you're here, Science Ninja Team!
I'll give you a nice big taste of Galactor's fearsomeness!
Now come on, get closer.
Ryu, get closer than this. We're going to take it down in one blow!
All right, here we go!
Huh? What's that?
They're parts of the mecha!
Mecha 1 , your target is the God Phoenix's Bird Missiles!
The Bird Missiles are about to blow!
Just get rid of the whole launch pad!
Or the God Phoenix will be blown to pieces!
I know!
What are you doing, Ryu?!
I'm trying to...
Looks like they've managed to escape. Mecha 2, prepare to fire!
I hate to say this, but let's withdraw!
It's like they know everything about the God Phoenix!
See, I told you!
Let's go!
Don't let them get away!
Ryu, what's going on?
Ken, this is bad. The enemy is right above the God Phoenix!
What did you just say?
Compared to us, they're much faster and more powerful, Ken!
Surprised, Science Ninja Team?
Just try to use your Firebird Technique if you can!
This will be like shooting a toy at a shooting gallery!
Get ready to drop the depth charges!
I don't care! Ryu, just do it!
Follow them!
Science Ninja Technique Firebird: Shadow Separation!
Now! Drop the charges!
How do you like that? Those depth charges are designed to seek out heat then explode!
Witness the end of the God Phoenix!
Finally, I can become Leader Z!
Now withdraw! This is Galactor's victory!
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Gatchaman
Ryu, reverse the thrusters and try to make a soft landing!
At this rate, we'll be blown to pieces!
I know! I know that, but the controller won't move!
Damn it!
Everyone, get out before you get caught up in the blast!
Are you all right, Jun?
The fuel tank must have caught on fire.
Damn it, I can't believe that's our invincible God Phoenix!
It's burning! It's burning away! Our God Phoenix!
DAMMIT!
We lost... We really lost.
That's why I told you we couldn't keep on fighting
with the Bird Missiles and the Firebird forever.
Doctor!
You are not the only people who are fighting against Galactor.
Take a look at this.
All the engineers and workers out there are also trying their best
to resurrect the God Phoenix.
Are we going to resurrect the God Phoenix?
I don't know how long it's going to take,
but we'll work around the clock at full capacity to rebuild each mecha.
But you know Galactor won't sit around and wait for us to finish!
I know that. UN forces are supposed to protect the facilities while you're inoperative.
UN forces are protecting the International Science Organization's facilities
while the Science Ninja Team's operations are suspended.
However, they are no match for Galactor's combining iron beasts, the Jellyfish Mechas.
Jinpei, I'm amazed you can feel like working at a time like this.
I'm just doing this to get my mind off of things.
Just to let you know, I don't have any money.
Yeah, I know. It's on me tonight.
Whoa, check it out. It's Galactor again!
This time they destroyed the longest channel bridge in history like it was nothing.
What the hell is the Science Ninja Team doing?
I bet they're eating and sitting around or something.
Hey! What the hell did you do that for?!
Sorry about that, my hand just slipped, you know.
Oh, so spraying water on your customers is on your menu too?
Ken, let's get out of here.
Whoops!
Damn it!
What's going on? If you're gonna fight, we'll help you out.
What's wrong?
Jun's place has started to be a hangout for hooligans, huh?
Whoa, this is awesome! The God Phoenix is resurrected!
From G-1 to G-5, each mecha is now equipped with weapons.
What? Weapons?
That's right. However, they're for self-defense purposes only, not for killing.
I understand.
Well then, let me explain the weaponry of each mecha.
It's me. What? You mean the International Science Organization?
All right, I understand. Those Galactor scum...
The International Science Organization's headquarters is being attacked as we speak!
What?
Science Ninja Team, gather and launch the God Phoenix!
The day has finally come to destroy the International Science Organization!
But before that, we'll steal the secret data on the facilities and locations of the Mantle Project!
Now that the Science Ninja Team is gone, there's nothing anyone can do about it!
Lord Katse, it's the God Phoenix!
What? That's impossible!
Gatchaman, so you're alive?!
Ryu, if we start fighting here, it will cause trouble for the citizens.
Lead them towards the mountain range!
Understood!
Don't let them get away! Follow the God Phoenix!
All right everyone, get in your own vehicles.
Let's test our new weapons!
Roger!
Ryu, find a convenient place and switch to low-altitude flight.
Roger! Good luck, everyone!
How far do you mean to run, Gatchaman?
Are you looking for a good place for us to bury your body?
God Phoenix, separate!
Science Ninja Team, Galactor will mark your graves!
Mortal Blow! Gatchaman Fire!
All right, now it's my turn. Condor Machine!
G-3, Jun Rocket!
G-4, Jinpei Bomb!
Okay, combine into the God Phoenix!
You damn Science Ninja Team! How dare you use those strange weapons?!
There's only one left. Berg Katse is in there!
All right, we'll rock his world with this Super Bird Missile!
Damn it, this is it for me! I'll leave the rest up to you!
That's so heartless!
Lord Katse!
Shut your mouths! Sacrifice yourselves for the sake of Galactor's ideals!
That's one amazing missile. It's nothing like the old Bird Missiles.
I'll bet you even Katse will be pushing up daisies now.
Think so?
So what are you saying?
You think even a Super Bird Missile won't work on Katse?
The man's a big joke,
but at the same time he's like a monster in some ways,
so we can't rest assured.
You're right about that.
If something like this was all it took to defeat him,
we would have done Galactor in a long time ago.
Something like this?
Oh, so you're telling me you don't need a weapon?
No, you're not the only one who's wished many times that he had weapons.
But as long they keep producing the tools to kill,
I don't think we can hope for peace on this Earth.
The God Phoenix has been resurrected, equipped with five new weapons.
As long as there's still evil in this world, as long as Galactor still exists in this world,
keep on fighting, you five emissaries of the phoenix!

Reports come in that nuclear blasts have suddenly occurred
in a city on a southern island.
Gatchaman and the others rush to the scene as soon as they hear the news.
However, what they find there is the iron beast Micro-Saturn,
which can transform from sand-like fine particles into an enormous mecha.
Countless traps are set up by Berg Katse.
What destiny awaits Gatchaman and the others?
Next on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “The Particle Iron Beast Micro-Saturn” Look forward to it!
