Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
The shadow dancing high in the sky
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
Fly! Fly, fly, Gatchaman
Go! Go, go, Gatchaman
There is only one Earth
Oh, Gatchaman, Gatchaman
Pursue Katse!
We finally finished it off!
Yeah, it was close though.
Serves those Galactor scum right!
Now they won't be able to do anything evil ever again!
And that's finally the last of Berg Katse too, huh?
It's too soon to celebrate, everyone.
If you think your mission is over now, you're very wrong.
Huh? What do you mean, Doctor?
In the past, whenever we've destroyed Galactor's mecha beasts,
we've always let Berg Katse get away.
Take a good look at this replay of the battle you just fought.
Now, you didn't notice it, but Berg Katse fled in an escape rocket,
heading north-northwest at mach 2.5.
When someone tries to escape, we usually don't chase them too far,
but fighting isn't a game.
It's the perfect chance for us to attack Berg Katse!
It's not too late if we act now. This time, be sure to chase Berg Katse to the very end.
And then locate Galactor's true base!
Understood, Doctor.
Ryu, follow him at mach 5!
Okay!
Small rocket spotted! 50 degrees to the right, distance 35 kilometers.
We won't let you get away this time, Berg Katse!
It's the Science Ninja Team!
But they always used to give up and draw back!
This is Berg Katse! I'm being pursued by the God Phoenix!
I'm located at Coordinate X, Point B.
I request immediate rescue!
SOS! SOS!
We're approaching point-blank range of the rocket.
Let's go!
This will be the end of Berg Katse!
Die!
Wait, Joe! Those missiles would turn that little rocket into dust!
Shut up! He killed my mom and dad! Let me go!
I'll kill him!
I told you to stop! We'll capture Katse alive!
No! Let me go!
He must have decided it was hopeless and made his rocket self-destruct.
I think you're right.
Good, he saved me the trouble.
Joe!
You bastard!
Stop it, you two!
If you're not going to listen to what I say as the leader,
then get off the God Phoenix!
You're lecturing me again?
Listen, Ken, if we had let Berg Katse live, he would've just go back to his old evil tricks again.
It's good that he died.
Yeah, I know.
But our mission was to capture him alive
and make him tell us the location of Galactor's main base.
I longed to kill him too.
But I controlled myself.
Please understand, Joe. We're members of the Science Ninja Team.
We have a duty that we have to fulfill
that comes before settling our own personal grudges.
Dammit!
He's right. It's just like Ken said.
Let's go back to base.
Wait! Look at that!
Berg Katse!
After him, Ryu!
Roger!
Damn, we lost him in the jungle.
Is there any limit to his talent for escape?!
Land, Ryu.
Okay, got it!
You won't get away, Berg Katse. I'll capture you with my own hands.
I've been waiting for you, First Commando Unit.
Berg Katse messed up, was chased by the Science Ninja Team,
and crash landed at Coordinate X, Point B.
Rescue him immediately!
Yes, Sir! You can count on us to rescue him.
That imbecile Katse.
He causes me nothing but problems,
and now he's run away to Point B of all places.
But I don't want to lose my dearest subordinate like this.
I hope the commando unit will be able to rescue him safely.
It will definitely be the end for Berg Katse this time.
Yeah, it doesn't look like he could have gone very far.
Don't kill him.
I know.
Big brother! I hear Katse's footsteps heading west.
Ryu and Joe will come at him from the right,
Jun and I will take the left.
What about me, big brother?
Jinpei, you back us up from the air in the Helicobuggy.
You got it!
Dammit, where in the world is the rescue team? They're slow!
Here they come!
Stubborn Science Ninja Team scum. Just you wait!
Activate the First Defense System!
Bird Run!
This is Gatchaman. Come in, G-4.
This is G-4, Jinpei. What's wrong, big brother?
It's a trap! This jungle has all kinds of weapons set up in it!
Tell Joe and Ryu to be careful too!
Roger!
Come on, Ryu, hurry it up!
Don't be in such a rush! Come on, look!
I love these!
You can't fight on an empty stomach!
Knock it off!
What did you do that for?
They could be a trap. You'd better not eat them.
Huh? A trap?
I don't know; they look like regular bananas to me.
Come on, let's go!
You got it!
You're not going to last long if all you think about is eating.
They're grenades!
Run!
Hang on to me!
Sorry for picking bananas, but...
But they're my favorite.
I really am nothing but a burden, am I?
I'm not skinny like everyone else, and my reflexes are slow.
Huh?
Oh, it looks hurt.
Wait, Ryu!
Are you saying it's another trap?! Don't be so paranoid!
Oh, you poor thing. You got hurt in the blasts just now, didn't you?
There, there, we'll get you fixed up in no time.
Let's see, let's see...
There should be some medicinal plants around here somewhere...
Get out of here, fast!
You dumbass, which is more important, that animal or your life?
I can't be as cold as you.
I'm a human before I'm a member of the Science Ninja Team.
What?
Since I can't find any medicinal plants, we'll make do with this.
This will really help you get better too.
There, you'll be fine now.
Go on! Be careful. Go on now, go!
Looks like your mommy came to get you!
Take care!
Let's go, Ryu.
You got it.
Just you wait, Berg Katse!
I, the great Jinpei the Swallow, will find out what's behind your mask!
What was that?!
Shoot! They're knock-out grenades!

Jinpei! What happened? Come in!
Jinpei!
Jinpei, what happened?!
Get him!
Jinpei's not inside.
Take a look at these footprints.
He was probably taken away by members of Galactor.
But where?
This is Gatchaman. G-2, G-5, come in.
This is G-2, over.
We can't find Jinpei. How are things going over there, Joe?
How do you think it's going?
We finally had Katse cornered,
but he's sure disappeared in a weird place.
This kinda looks like a native village.
Okay, we'll be right there. Stay put and keep an eye on things.
Okay, Jun, let's hurry back to the God Phoenix.
Roger!
Begin!
Mammothoon... Mammothoon...
What kind of bird is that? Mammothoon... Mammothoon...
Shhhhh! Mammothoon... Mammothoon...
Mammothoon...
Oh, God Mammothoon, we offer you in sacrifice this bird which has defiled this sacred land,
so please let your anger be appeased!
Mammothoon...
Do it!
Mammothoon...
It's a Bird Scramble. Mammothoon...
So, could that mean that weird bird over there is Jinpei? Mammothoon...
So, could that mean that weird bird over there is Jinpei?
Mammothoon...
It's hot!
Jinpei!
That boy... Jinpei!
That boy...
It's hot! Help me!
Jinpei!
Idiot, if we go out there now, the same thing will just happen to us!
You might've been born cold-hearted, but I can't take it any more!
Fine, do whatever you want.
Mammothoon...
What? It's a member of Galactor. Mammothoon...
He's so slow it's getting on my nerves.
Mammothoon...
He's interferings with a sacred ceremony! Capture him!
If you're gonna attack me, then go ahead and try!
I'm Ryu the Owl, from the Science Ninja Team!
Get him!
Huh?
Bastards!
Why you!
You're awesome, Ryu!
You're the best looking guy on the Ninja Team!
Stop, Ninja Team member! Do you want me to roast him?
Ryu, don't worry about me, finish them off!
Stop babbling, you little brat!
Got ya!
Come quietly, Berg Katse!
Huh? He's Katse?
Berg Katse made this village to hide in.
I should've known you'd figure it out, Science Ninja Team!
We are a commando unit sent to rescue Lord Katse!
Too bad for you, after you had us outnumbered and everything.
Don't do anything stupid, or Katse's head will fly!
Oh no!
Wait! Oh no!
Wait!
Hey, you coward!
Dammit!
That scum Katse...
We almost had him!
Ryu!
It's a Mammoth Mecha!
Run!
Those impudent Ninja Team scum!
They've sauntered onto the battlefield again!
All right, this is our last ace up our sleeve.
We'll teach them a lesson with Galactor's pride, Mammothoon!
He's sending out his best mecha and trying to escape! All right...
We have to rescue everyone first!
You think I'll let you get away?
Ken, hurry!
I know!
Dammit! How frustrating! Just you wait!
Thanks, Ken, you saved us.
Good grief...
Sis!
It's too soon to relax. The fight's just beginning!
You imbeciles! Nothing you do can save you now!
All right, let's give it some Super Bird Missiles!
Joe! If you hit the mecha's legs,
we can capture Katse without killing him! Hurry!
What are you just standing there for?
We'll be in danger if we get any closer!
What's wrong, Joe?!
Come on, hurry!
Hurry it up, will you?!
Outta the way! I'll fire the missiles!
I get it. If we fired now, they'd get killed too.
Joe, you...
Ken, this isn't a good place to fight.
Maybe it would be better to lure them into the mountains.
All right.
Ryu, lead that mecha with the God Phoenix.
Gotcha!
I won't let you get away, God Phoenix!
So you're trying to lead me into the mountains, huh?
It's no use hiding in a place like that!
I'll destroy you and those mountains of ice with one missile!
That's it, get closer! We'll get you for sure this time, Berg Katse!
Oh no!
The cliff's not strong enough to hold the weight of the mecha!
Now!
Rise at full speed!
Roger!
Fire!
What happened?
This is bad. We're going to fall!
You imbeciles! You've failed again!
It's too bad we couldn't take Katse alive.
But this time it really is the end of Katse!
No, we can't say that.
We won't know for sure until we see him dead with our own eyes.
You think so?
That's right! And besides, even if we did kill Katse,
there's still Galactor's headquarters to deal with.
And until we find that headquarters and destroy it completely,
a second or even third person will turn up to take Katse's place.
But why did Galactor put a killing mecha
somewhere out in the middle of nowhere like this?
It means Galactor's headquarters are somewhere around here.
Oh, I see...
I should've gone ahead and blasted all those missiles at him after all!
It's okay, we'll just look forward to doing that next time.
The Science Ninja team flies away, with a touch of regret still left in their hearts.
What really happened to Berg Katse?
And where is Galactor's headquarters?
This unexplored region called the roof of the world remains quiet.

The Gatchaman team's persistent attack
finally sent Galactor's new weapon Mammothoon falling off of a cliff
with Berg Katse inside.
However, Gatchaman and the others are troubled by the fact
that they couldn't capture Katse alive.
Was Katse really killed?
And how will Galactor counter-attack?
Peril closes in on Gatchaman and the others once again.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Secret of the Birdstyles" Look forward to it!
