The Cemetery in the Moonlig ht
This is the Shosken Kingdom, located in the Ohara Desert.
Just outside the country lie cemeteries dating back to the era of the ancient kingdom.
These cemeteries have always grabbed the attention of passing travelers.
Now a caravan is crossing the desert under the moonlight.
But this caravan is actually a group of soldiers who are on special assignment for the kingdom.
And they are about to reach an ancient tomb now slumbering quietly.
It looks like an ordinary tomb, but there must be something inside
which is veiled in mystery and has been since ancient times.
Come!
It's a dead end.
Don't worry.
There it is. It's over there.
This is the secret door which will solve the puzzle.
If I'm correct, behind this door should be hidden
the secret of the true nature of the evil which disturbs world peace.
You shall not pass any further.
No one has ever come out of this room alive.
You shall die as well.
Hey, what's the matter, Jinpei?
Why are you crying? Did someone pick on you?
I get it.
You ate something weird again and now you've got a stomachache, right?
You can be so insensitive, Sis. I was reading this.
Wow, crying over a book? I never knew you were so sentimental, Jinpei.
But the main character of this story is an orphan just like me.
But he's lucky because he gets to see his mom at the end.
My mom is dead...
I wish I could be a real mama's boy just once.
Yes, this is G-3.
This is Nambu. Report to the Crescent Coral Base at once!
Roger!
Jinpei, we're moving out!
Mom...
Jinpei! Mom...
Jinpei!
There's been a report that Galactor
has infiltrated the Shosken Kingdom, located in the Ohara Desert.
Their objective is unclear at this point.
A special unit from the Shosken Kingdom, disguised as a caravan,
attempted to investigate Galactor's activities,
but all the men have gone missing in the desert.
Gone missing in the desert?
Say, Doctor, is there something valuable in that desert or something?
That I don't know.
About the only things in the area are some ancient tombs.
I see...
The Shosken Kingdom is famous for its ancient tombs.
Big brother, what are "ancient tombs?"
Basically, graves where people from ancient times are buried.
Graves, huh?
That reminds me, I haven't visited my mom's grave in a while.
Your mom? Hey, what's the matter with you, Jinpei?
He's been reminiscing about his mom.
Jinpei, go ahead and make a nice long visit after this mission.
Listen up, everyone. Brace yourselves and carry out your mission.
First things first. Head for the Shosken Kingdom!
Roger!
The Shosken Kingdom is a poor country,
with eighty percent of its land covered by mountain ranges and desert.
The five members of the Science Ninja Team
blend into the crowd in order to catch sight of Galactor's activities.
The evil hands of Galactor are creeping up on this quiet land.
It sure is a nice town, so unhurried.
Is Galactor really here in such a peaceful town?
Something smells good!
Welcome, boy. Would you like...
Ah, that smells irresistible!
Huh? What's the matter, lady?
You dropped it. Here.
What's wrong, lady?
Oh no, did she figure out who I am?
Jinbe!
Huh?
Jinbe!
Oh, Jinbe! Your mother's missed you so much! Don't you ever leave me again!
Lady, I'm not Jinbe. My name is Jinpei.
Jinbe!
You're mistaking me for someone else!
Jinbe, you're going to live with me from now on! Please don't leave me alone again, Jinbe!
I wonder if this is what it feels like to be held in your mom's arms?
Jinpei!
Mom!
I'm so sorry, little boy. You look so much like my son who died, I just...
Me? Sounds like we've got similar sounding names too, huh?
Silly me...
There's no way my dead son would be in a place like this.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, lady. You kind of got me remembering my dead mother too.
What? You're alone too?
Yeah, I'm an orphan. But it's okay, it lets me be carefree.
Like today, I just decided to come visit this town on a whim.
Hey, little boy, have you decided where you're going to stay yet?
No, not yet...
Well, why don't you stay with me while you're here? What do you say?
I'll be your mother! I just can't see you as a stranger, you know?
Are you sure, lady?
So you'll be my mom just for a little while?
Of course! It's like my Jinbe has come back to life! Jinbe!
Say, lady, is it okay if I call you " Mom"?
Of course, it is! Go on, say it.
Mom...
What is it, Jinbe?
It's kind of embarrassing...
Oh, don't be shy, you silly.
Hey, those are ancient shrooms!
You're silly. Those are called "tombs."
This country is famous for them, and people from all over the world come here to see them.
Whoa! That one's the biggest! I wonder what it's like inside?
I want to go in there!
No, you can't ! It's called the Devil's Cemetery.
No one, not even travelers, are allowed to go inside that one.
Really? Why?
The other day, a caravan suddenly disappeared without a trace around here.
Something's fishy here.
I wish I could go in there to play.
No, you can't ! The devil will make you disappear!
It's done that to some of the villagers already!
Come on, let's hurry home. We're almost to the village.
Now, you must be hungry, Jinbe. Eat all you want, okay?
Wow, this is great! Thank you!
So good!
The way you eat really reminds me of my dead son.
Do I look like him that much, lady?
You're supposed to call me " Mom." Remember, Jinbe?
Oh, sorry, Mom.
This is him. You look just like him, don't you?
Whoa... You're right. We really look alike!
Isn't he adorable?
He was such a good boy, but one day he got sick and died.
Come to think of it, I guess it's been a year since then already.
Hey, why don't you let me adopt you? Wouldn't that be perfect? After all, you're an orphan.
But I have a mission to... Well, I mean, I don't think I can do that.
I see... Yes, I guess I asked for something impossible, huh?
I'm sorry, lady.
Goodness! I didn't mean to talk about something so depressing.
Come on, Jinbe, go ahead and eat some more!
Mom, can I have more? Give me a lot, please!
You're getting carried away! Don't give yourself a stomachache!
Jinbe...
I have to go pee.
Jeez... My “ Mom” is so innocent.
Jinbe... Jeez... My “ Mom” is so innocent.
Science Ninja Team G-4, the great Jinpei the Swallow,
going into action!
Devil's Cemetery, huh?
This is also around where the caravan disappeared.
Something's definitely fishy.
Maybe I should turn around after all...
What am I saying?! They're nothing but stone statues, dammit!
Huh? It's a dead end.
Huh?
What is this place?!
You little brat, no one ever comes out of this place alive.

Jinbe, don't you ever leave me again...
Huh? Oh my, I fell off the bed again. What?
Jinbe! Jinbe! Where did you go?!
Jinbe, where are you? Jinbe!
Jinbe... Don't tell me you've gone to the Devil's Cemetery!
They're Galactor.
You little brat, we'll let you live, but in exchange you must work here!
What are you guys doing?
Shut up!
You just be quiet and scoop up the sand from that sand river.
Stop moving so slowly!
Why you son of a...
Hey, what are you doing?
Let me leave! Let me go home! Let me out of here! Hey, what are you doing?
Let me leave! Let me go home! Let me out of here!
Let me go! Stop it! Let me go!
Help me!
That's a bottomless pit of quicksand.
So don't even think about running away or anything.
These are Jinbe's footprints. I knew it!
That knucklehead! Why didn't he listen to me? Jinbe!
Wait for me! Your mother is coming to save you right now!
Jinbe! Hang in there!
Damn, I bet Jinpei totally forgot about meeting here at midnight.
Jun, try to call him again.
Jinpei, Jinpei, come in, Jinpei!
No good, the receiver is still turned off.
That brat, I bet he's chasing cute girls around or something.
I saw a lot of good looking girls around here.
Ryu!
Oh yeah, this is serious, I know.
Anyway, let's wait a little longer. We might hear from him.
Damn Galactor scum, just what are they doing down here?
All right...
It's Berg Katse!
How is it going, Katse?
I'm sure you'll be delighted, Leader.
The uranium in the sand is of excellent quality.
With this much uranium,
Galactor will be able to wreak havoc all over the world!
Katse, the whole world is in need of fuel resources.
We must expedite the process
so we can conquer the world as soon as possible!
If we let anything interfere now,
all of our work will have been for naught.
We're being extremely careful, Sir.
Anyone who steps into this Devil's Cemetery gets thrown straight into the river of sand!
I see, their goal is to collect uranium. Right... This is G-4.
Jinbe, there you are! Oh, good, I've been so worried about you!
But I'm so glad you're okay! I'm so happy!
What's that?
She's over there! Let's go check it out!
Hurry up and come down! Come on home with me!
I don't like creepy places like this!
Oh, no!
Hey, what are you doing here? You can try to run but you'll never make it.
Come down!
He's escaping! Fire!
Jinbe! Jinbe!
Owww!
Why you!
What's wrong with you guys? Why are you grown men wearing stupid masks like that?
This isn't funny! Give me that!
Don't do it!
This is just a toy, right? Don't scare me like!
Stop! Stop!
You imbeciles! What do you think you're doing?
Don't you let that kid get away! We can't let him tell anyone the secret of this place!
Yes, Sir!
Hey, wait! I'll make you very sorry if you touch my Jinbe!
Shut up!
Oh, no! Mom!
There he is!
Don't let him get away! There he is!
Don't let him get away!
Mom, I promise I'll come rescue you, so hang in there!
This is G-4 Jinpei, please come in! Big brother!
What? You've found Galactor's base? What's the location?
It's inside the biggest tomb. Get here now!
Got it, we'll be right there! Let's move out!
Roger!
Damn, this kid is fast!
He went towards the temple!
Does he think he can get away?
Wait, he's gone inside the temple.
Did you catch him?
Lord Katse, you didn't have to come all the way out here.
He's just a little kid, Sir. He can't do anything anyway.
Imbecile!
It sounds like you don't know the story
of the little hole in the embankment that caused a huge flood.
No matter how small something is, you must never overlook it!
That's how Galactor takes care of business!
Don't you forget that!
Yes, Sir. Please forgive me...
Search everywhere for him!
And as soon as you find him, shoot him down!
Yes, Sir!
Find him! I know he's hiding around here somewhere, trembling in fear!
Who goes there?
This is a cemetery of the ancient Shosken Kingdom.
Those who disturb this venerable tomb shall receive divine punishment!
I am the mummy of an ancient king who seeks eternal peace!
It moved!
And I shall now resurrect to defeat Galactor, the agents of evil!
Gatchaman!
Berg Katse, we know all about the secret of your sand river.
Fire! Fire!
Bird Run!
Take that!
Dammit, they've gotten cocky!
Oh, no!
I won't let you get away, Berg Katse.
Today's the day you'll show us who's under the mask!
Don't you move, Science Ninja Team! Look what's inside here!
Mom!
If I press this button, those people will fall into the sand river.
Now, let Lord Katse go! Or are you just going to let these people die?
What are you going to do, Gatchaman?
Gatchaman, I don't care what happens to me,
but please destroy the bad guys and find my boy Jinbe!
He has to be somewhere in here! Please save my Jinbe!
Mom... She cares about me that much...
Damn it!
Now let the villagers go!
You're soft, Gatchaman! All of you are going to die! Do it!
Bird Run!
Oh no, he flipped the self-destruction switch!
Run! Run!
We have to save the villagers!
This way!
Jinbe! Jinbe! Jinbe!
Lady, it's dangerous.
Let me go! My Jinbe, my Jinbe is in there! Let me go!
Don't worry, I'm sure he's alive.
Oh no, I know he didn't get out. I know he's still in there! Jinbe!
I'm telling you, lady, it's okay. I'm sure Jinbe is alive.
I guarantee it!
Jinbe, oh, my poor Jinbe... I wish I could've taken your place...
Hey, what are you guys doing down there? Get a move on, let's go!
Jinbe...
Come on, let's go.
Come on, we have to go.
Cheer up, Jinpei.
I don't know what happened,
but boys shouldn't keep brooding over things forever.
Come on, hold your head high!
Sis!
You silly...
“lf there is one relaxing place in this world,
it is on your mother's lap...”
Huh? What's that?
Oh, that was just something I read in some book somewhere.
I happened to remember it just now.
Where did that come from all of a sudden? Did something happen?
The battle in the desert has come to an end.
Soon the sun will show its face again.
However, no one knows when the world will have true peace.

On a rainy day, corpses are found that have been mummified.
Gatchaman and the others suspect that this strange incident is the work of Galactor,
and begin to investigate the case.
Then Joe the Condor saves Maya, a girl being chased by Galactor's mannequin mechas,
and is mesmerized by her beauty.
However, that is just the first part of a terrible trap set by Galactor.
Who is this girl named Maya?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “Death Girls Unite!” Look forward to it!
