Secret of the Birdstyles
Berg Katse, who was easily defeated by the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman,
ran desperately for his life.
However, the Science Ninja Team, ready and eager to fight,
pursued Katse relentlessly until they closed in tightly on him.
Katse, was barely saved by his giant metal beast Mammothoon.
When it went mad with anger and began to counter-attack,
the God Phoenix attacked with a Super Bird Missile,
and the beast was instantly buried by a giant glacier.
Those despicable Gatchaman scum! They dared to hunt down me,
the next leader of Galactor, like a common dragonfly or beetle!
Just you wait, Gatchaman! I will pay you back for this!
Oh look, you can see the oceanography lab from here! See?
Yeah, but even better Sis, you can smell the ocean.
You're right. And I can hear the waves.
Peace is so wonderful...
What in the world is that?
Something must have happened!
I'm scared!
That's Mammothoon!
So Katse is alive after all!
Dammit! He must have gotten out of that glacier! Dammit!
Ken! This is G-3, Jun.
Mammothoon has just appeared at the amusement park at Point N.
What? Damn, I thought we finished it off with that Super Bird Missile.
He's one stubborn bastard.
Tell me about it. He's a monster!
Okay, everyone head to Point N immediately.
Jun, keep an eye on him until we get there.
Get here fast, Ken!
Our target is that oceanography lab!
Fire missiles!
Yes, Sir!
I'm sure this will really rattle those Science Ninja Team bastards.
Now that they know I'm immortal,
they're probably shaking their fists in the air!
I'll show them what happens when they make me angry!
Wipe out all of these eyesores!
Yes, Sir!
Watch out, Sis! Mammothoon is...
Right now we have to save these children. Come on!
There's too many people around, so I can't change into Birdstyle.
Help me, Mommy!
It's Sis!
Jinpei, I'm fine! Hurry up and save the children!
Come on everybody, run!
He just doesn't know when to die. This time I'll really...
So you've shown up again, Gatchaman scum!
Hurry up and shoot him down with missiles!
I'm afraid we can't , Lord Katse.
The launch system was destroyed in the attack.
Dammit! Then we have no choice. I hate to say it, but let's withdraw for today!
Damn, Mammothoon!
This time I'll make sure I take you down with Super Bird Missiles!
You can't . The mecha aren't combined, so you can't fire.
Dammit! Katse, you scum!
Ryu! Joe! Don't chase him too far.
Saving the children is more important.
All right.
Don't get too upset about it.
Thanks to Jun and Jinpei's early warning,
even though the lab was destroyed, not a single person died.
That in itself is enough to be happy about.
Good work. All of you go relax in the standby room.
Man, I'm starved.
What's wrong, Jun?
Well, I lost one of my shoes.
What?!
And?! You still can't find it?!
No...
This is bad. Search everywhere for it!
No matter where it is, you must get it back!
Huh?
All of you search!
But no matter how hard they look, there is no way for them to find Jun's shoe.
It has been carried to Galactor's base with Mammothoon.
It's a woman's shoe.
Captain, this was stuck to Mammothoon.
What?
Why would I care about something like that? Don't bring it to me!
You dimwit.
You still haven't found it?
If Jun's shoe falls into Galactor's hands,
they can use it to find out the secret of the Science Ninja Team's transformation!
Oh dear...
That's right...
I didn't think about that.
They have vast scientific resources, just like we do.
There's no way they won't discover that shoe's secret.
The secret of our transformation...
As it stands, the only thing we can do now
is pray that the shoe doesn't fall into Galactor's hands.
What? There's a shoe that won't burn
even in Galactor's great complete automatic incinerator?
Yes, Lord Katse.
That's ridiculous. You guys must be losing your minds.
No, Sir. If you do not believe me, then please see for yourself.
All right, all right. Go straight to the lab and start analyzing it.
I'll be there soon.
Yes, Sir.
I have so many things to do, and they bother me with a silly thing like this.
Now I won't have time to relax and enjoy my meal.
All right, begin.
Yes, Sir.
See, it's just an ordinary shoe after all. You imbecile.
Just a moment, Lord Katse.
Huh? What is it?
It's not breaking apart at all.
What?
How can that be?
Use all of Galactor's scientific resources to analyze that shoe!
Stronger!
We can't push it any farther! The instrument will burn up!
It doesn't matter!
This is that Science Ninja Team member's ...
"They have vast scientific resources, just like we do."
"There's no way they won't discover that shoe's secret."
That's right.
I'm sure if they get that shoe, they'll find out who I am.
I'll become a decoy. Galactor is sure to come looking for me.
Well done, Berg Katse.
I have devised two missions based on that shoe.
First, using what we know of the Science Ninja Team shoe,
I'm having Dr. Misuno invent a special mecha
which will instantly break off their transformations.
He will probably have the data completed very soon.
When it is complete,
it will likely be a death blow for the Science Ninja Team.
However! It will take Dr. Misuno a number of days to develop the mecha.
Until then, you will carry out the second mission.
Certainly, Sir.
I'll call it, "Operation Cinderella."
lmmediately afterwards, top-class art specialists
like plastics artists, anthropotomists,
sculptors, and cosmetic medicine experts
were summoned from various Galactor research institutions,
and a steady stream of data was passed round.
And by analyzing the shoe from every possible angle,
they attempted to determine the age, height, weight, and even personality
of the person who wore it.
The only things we cannot extrapolate from the shoe
are her face and style of clothing.
But we believe her body shape is more or less accurate.
Excellent work! Now I can begin my mission.
You, come with me.
Huh?
Come quietly.
Do it!
Shoot, they were just street thugs.
And I thought they were from Galactor...
This is a girl's dream, the World Beauty Center.
We'll make you into the world's top beauty for free!
This offer is limited only to sixteen year old girls.
Come on, step right up!
I'm going first!
Me too!
This is great! Me too!
This is great!
I'm first!
Hey, I was here first!
Now, now, no shoving! Line up single-file, please.
Now then, this represents the ideal proportions for a sixteen year old girl.
Only those who can pass through it have what it takes to be the world's top beauty,
and receive the free makeover.
First person, please.
Oh dear, you have to be that slim?
Wow...
Well, that's okay, all I have to do is get through, right? Wow...
Well, that's okay, all I have to do is get through, right?
Too bad. Next person, please.
My, I'm sure I can do it!
Somebody push my hips!
Next person, please.
This is so not fair!

Here you go, ladies.
I heard someone say that when she got inside,
all they did was stare at her feet and then tell her to leave.
Well, maybe she had athlete's foot.
You're kidding! But it's still rude.
Then maybe that beauty center is just a fake.
And it's a little strange that they were asking just for sixteen year old girls.
You said they're asking for only sixteen year old girls?
What's wrong? You didn't know?
They say they'll make you into the world's most beautiful girl.
Oh yeah, you're sixteen too, huh, Sis?
You should go there and have them make you a little better-looking.
Idiot!
Watch the bar for me!
Hey, come on, Sis!
As soon women they hear they can be pretty, they freak out.
Women are so shallow. Jeez...
Oh, shut up, I'm busy!
Jinpei, I'm calling a meeting.
Okay, be right there!
I'm sorry!
Is everyone here?
Well, Sis isn't here...
What happened to Jun, Jinpei?
I think she went to the beauty center.
What? To the beauty center?
Is there something wrong, Doctor?
Should she not have gone?
This newspaper has a story about this fake business
gathering only sixteen year old girls together.
This is just my speculation, but I think Galactor used Jun's shoe
to find out her physical features, and they are looking for her.
I have no doubt that Jun went straight into that trap on purpose,
in order to get the shoe back.
I get it! That does sound like Jun!
All of you! Jun is in danger!
All right, head to the World Beauty Center immediately!
Roger!
Lord Katse! We've finally found five girls who fit the data exactly.
All right, good work! Bring them to Mammothoon quickly.
Yes, Sir, certainly.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, everyone.
Since you all have what it takes to be real beauties, we will offer you makeovers.
Please, everyone, go to the room upstairs.
Okay, now return to base.
Yes, Ma'am.
Huh? It's the God Phoenix!
What?
Hey, Ken, this is weird. An ad balloon is coming this way.
That's not an ad balloon. It's probably a Galactor blimp.
Then, is Sis in there, big brother?
Yeah, probably.
This is Gatchaman. G-3! G-3, come in!
Bird Scramble!
Pretend you don't see them, and maintain your course.
Yes, Ma'am.
Dammit! It's too bad we can't attack it, Ken!
Right, because if we try attacking it, that blimp could blow up.
Then what would happen to Sis?
It's not just Jun, there's four other girls in there too!
Ryu, keep following them.
We'll find out where their main base is.
Jinpei, try searching for the location of the Bird Scramble with the radar.
Okay, just leave it to me.
Good work.
I will examine them directly.
Give me a good look at their faces and arms.
Yes, Sir.
The members of the Science Ninja Team wear bracelets on their arms, Yes, Sir.
The members of the Science Ninja Team wear bracelets on their arms,
so it'll be easy to tell which one is her.
Next!
Next! Couldn't you get any more decent girls?
At this rate, Operation Cinderella will be a failure too!
Yes, Sir. There's still more girls left.
The Bird Scramble disappeared!
What?
Did the equipment malfunction? What?
Did the equipment malfunction?
No, it means Jun's in even more serious danger.
Okay, it has to be under us somewhere around here.
Let's land and search for their main base.
But there's nothing that looks special down there at all.
Oh, yeah! I just remembered!
I'm pretty sure there's an outdoor museum right up ahead.
What does a museum have to do with Galactor?
Well, it is a mammoth mecha they have.
If they wanted to hide it, that would be the perfect place.
I see...
You didn't even realize that, and you call yourself an adult?
I can't believe you!
Ryu, we'll go with Jinpei's flash of inspiration. Take it down slowly.
Gotcha!
Let's go!
You're the only one left. Hurry up and show me your face!
Come on, hurry up!
What's the matter? Hurry up and look this way!
Lord Katse, it's the God Phoenix!
What?!
What? You just wait! What?!
What? You just wait!
I knew they'd come.
How did they find us here? Take them down, now!
Wha?!
So, how do you like my flash of inspiration?
Jinpei, don't get cocky!
Come on, get out of here, fast!
Oh no! Somebody stole the Ninja Team shoe!
Lord Katse! My humblest apologies! The girls have...
Imbecile!
This way! Hurry!
How audacious of you to steal the shoe and try to run away!
Which one of you is it? Step forward!
It wasn't me!
Don't look at me either!
It was me!
I'm the Science Ninja Team member you've been looking for!
You're from the Science Ninja Team!
I knew you were one of those girls!
Get them!
What's going on?
Bullying girls? That's low, Berg Katse!
Damn it! So you showed up, Gatchaman!
Today's the day I'll kill you for sure! So prepare yourself!
Fire!
Bird Run!
Bird Kick!
Take that!
Eat this!
Jun, run!
Thanks! Jun, run!
Thanks!
Jinpei, hurry!
What about you, big brother? Jinpei, hurry!
What about you, big brother?
Don't worry about me, just go!
Bird Run!
Berg Katse, you coward!
Hurry, big brother. He'll fire Mammothoon's missiles,
and we won't be able to get out!
Understood! I'll be right there!
Come on! Get Mammothoon activated, now!
Yes, Sir!
All right, here we go!
You're not getting away! Shoot it down with missiles!
We should be getting a direct hit any moment now!
Lord Katse, the missiles are coming back!
How can that be?!
Run away!
Lord Katse!
Oh, shut up! Lord Katse!
Oh, shut up!
I'm glad everyone made it through okay.
Yeah, we got Jun's shoe back safely too, but even so...
It's too bad we let Berg Katse get away.
There's no help for it.
The girls are safe; that's the most important thing.
Hey, Sis, to keep from losing one of your shoes again,
I think you should write your name in them from now on!
Idiot! If I did that, they'd know who I really was right away!
Scary! You're acting just like Katse!
My apologies for having failed again.
Idiot! lmbecile! Simpleton! Fool!
I have nothing left to say to you.
The only positive aspect of this situation
is that Dr. Misuno's secret weapon is almost complete.
Look forward to that!
Yes, Sir...
When will the mysterious mecha Dr. Misuno is inventing be complete?
A storm awaits the Science Ninja Team,
who are withdrawing without any idea what kind of danger they're in.

A plate tectonics lab that is part of the Mantle Project
is attacked by Galactor's new iron beast, Jumbo Shakora.
Gatchaman and the others are ordered to deploy immediately.
However, at around the same time,
Ryu the Owl gets news that his father has been shipwrecked,
and he is torn between his duty and his devotion to his family.
It just wouldn't be the Science Ninja Team without Ryu.
Meanwhile, Jumbo Shakora's attacks get fiercer and fiercer.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Jumbo Shakora, the Ocean Devil King" Look forward to it!
