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

This is Dokoaru, the country I was telling you about.
As you can see, it's a small country.
The president of this country has contacted the ISO to ask for your help.
As you all know, Dokoaru is rich in underground resources such as diamonds, gold, and silver.
I see, so that's why Galactor's after it, right?
But the president has refused to give Galactor financial assistance,
and apparently Galactor is after his life because of that.
That president's brave. I like him!
Of course he's brave, he's the president of an entire country.
I thought we were the only ones brave enough to stand up to Galactor, so it's impressive.
This is the president of Dokoaru.
He has a cane. I wonder if there's something wrong with his leg?
It seems the president's left leg is slightly injured.
Anyway, if Dokoaru falls into Galactor's hands, it will become a source of money for them.
We must stop them at all costs.
Understood. We'll bend our power to protecting Dokoaru and its brave president,
and we will succeed.
I'm counting on you. I pray for your good luck.
Roger!
We'll be reaching Dokoaru soon.
Good! Put it up on the screen.
Okay.
What a welcome! I wonder if they're all here to greet us?
Yeah, probably. Take a look at their flags.
Huh?
Well, well, even elite people from the government came to greet us.
I'm impressed.
Ryu, change the landing spot.
But after everyone went through the trouble to come greet us? That would be rude.
We can't say that the same thing that happened in Inderia won't happen here too.
We don't know where Galactor's traps might be waiting for us.
This is just like announcing to Galactor that we're here.
I see...
The Science Ninja Team, who the President of Dokoaru had asked for help,
did not appear in front of the people after all.
Later, here in the president's residence...
But what in the world is the meaning of this?
I caught a glimpse of a plane that looked like the God Phoenix,
but then it flew off somewhere.
And the President has been waiting for them for quite a while too.
Mr. Secretary, they are making fun of our country.
But in any event, isn't there any way we can contact the Science Ninja Team somehow?
There is no need for that.
What?
When did you get here?!
We are being targeted by Galactor, just like this country.
We must avoid doing anything which would draw attention to ourselves.
Please forgive us for our rudeness.
You're as impressive they say.
I've heard rumors about you, but I never knew you were this cautious.
I hear that the President is eager to see us.
He has been anxious to see you for a while.
Now then, please show them to the President's room.
Yes, Sir. This way, please.
That was close! That thing almost squashed me flat!
My humblest apologies.
This is the oldest mansion in Dokoaru after all.
Haven't we reached the President's room yet?
This way. Please, follow me.
Sis, something feels creepy about this. Are you sure we'll be okay?
What's with you? And you call yourself a man? Don't be a wimp.
Sis is even scarier than this place!
What's with you? And you call yourself a man? Don't be a wimp.
Watch out!
What in the world is going on here?
Go on, explain yourself!
You're just as good as they say, Science Ninja Team.
Now it is clear that you are not imposters.
Galactor is after the President.
We have to be as cautious as humanly possible.
But you're really very exhaustively prepared, aren't you?
With that kind of equipment, even Galactor would find it a bit hard to break in here.
That was just the beginning.
Now then, this way, please.
This time the President really will be waiting for you.
Mr. President, Sir, I have brought the Science Ninja Team.
Oh, I see. Thank you.
Excuse me.
Welcome, everyone. I apologize for the rude things I've put you through.
It's nice to meet you.
I sent people to greet you at the airport,
but you never came, so I was worried.
Now please, make yourself at home. You must be tired.
It might be a little tight for all five of you though.
Now that I've gotten this old,
I'm a bit jealous of healthy young people like yourselves.
Please have some coffee, one of the products this country prides itself on.
Here you are. And here you are.
My, such a nice aroma.
Relax and enjoy.
Help yourselves. Let's review the course of events thus far over some light beverages.
Today's been nothing but surprises, so it's made me thirsty.
Thank you!
What did you do that for, big brother?
Look down.
The carpet's changing color!
For the carpet to change color that much,
there's some pretty powerful poison in the coffee!
Wait! I don't know anything about this! There must be some mistake!
Ken, wait! Someone might have put the poison in the coffee without the President knowing.
She's right. Someone's trying to set a trap for the President.
That's right! This has to be Galactor's doing.
They're dirty bastards!
Dirty bastards... That's exactly right.
Because you use cheap tricks like this!
You Galactor bastard!
Now show us what's underneath that mask.
One of the Black Birds!
I should have known you'd see through it, Gatchaman. Good job.
For my information, I'd like to ask you: How did you figure it out?
The President's left leg is bad,
so of course he should carry his cane in his left hand too.
How foolish of me.
And...
There's more?
The President was afraid of Galactor.
It's unthinkable that he would have given us such a blatant welcome,
with even the press included.
If he was asking for our help, he would have greeted us in secret.
I see.
No wonder you've been nothing but torment for my Galactor comrades.
Your powers of perception are amazing.
But it's too late now!
You won't be able to take one step out of this mansion!
Because it's riddled with traps!
Sorry, but I've already put the real president to rest!
What?!
It seems the President put all of these traps in here because he was scared of us breaking in.
But he's given us something I think will be useful for killing you!
Die!
Watch out!
Get them! Today's the day we wipe out the Science Ninja Team!
Bird Run!
Two down!
Here's some extra service!
Bastards! Let me go! I said, let me go!
Hot!
Big brother! We can get out through here!
Okay, let's get out of here!
Watch out!
Ken...
Be careful, everyone. We don't know what might come flying out at us.
Uh, uh-oh... What do I do? I'm getting dizzy. This stinks!
Idiot, just close your eyes.
Dammit!
Hey!
Dammit! Let us out! Hey!
Dammit! Let us out!
It's poison gas!
I can't breathe...
Ryu, do something about this!
Dammit... This is Gatchaman...
What? You say you caught Gatchaman?
Yes, Sir. Even Gatchaman can't stand up to us Black Birds.
I see, well done. I'm impressed.
They may be the Gatchaman team, but they're still just a bunch of kids.
So they fell right into the trap, eh?
And thanks to that, Galactor's minions should be carrying off Dokoaru's treasures right about now.
Finish off the Science Ninja Team immediately!
With all due respect, Lord Katse,
right now, that gas is giving them a taste of the suffering of Hell.
Even if we leave them alone, it will only be a matter of time
before they're sent to the other world.
You imbecile!
It's that kind of attitude that always lets them get away!
Kill them off, now!
Yes, Sir!
Look how pathetic the great Science Ninja Team looks now.
Take aim!
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Fire!
What?! They're not there!
Dammit! The gas didn't work?!
Just a little bit longer and you would have had us,
but your opening the door saved us. My thanks.
Dammit! Get them!
Dammit...
Let's get out of here!
Don't let them get away!
Hey! Stop!
They're coming after us!
Joe, we're counting on you.
Leave it to me. I'm not a race driver for nothing.
Go faster. If we can make it to the city, I think we'll be all right.
Okay!
Dammit, they ran off into the city.
They might think they've gotten away, but it's not going to be that easy.
This is the captain of the Black Birds.
Proceed as planned and send out the brainwashing waves.
Do it at the strongest setting.
Yes, Sir!
My head hurts!
Dammit!
Everyone, turn your jamming devices on!
Man, that hurt. My head's still pounding.
I wonder what kind of waves they were? They certainly didn't feel good.
Wait, what's that sound?
Ken, something's wrong with them.
Look at their eyes! They're all crazy!
What's wrong, everyone? We're the Science Ninja Team,
and we came to protect this country from Galactor!
Stop it!
We're on your side! Come on, stop it! Stop it!
We're on your side! Come on, stop it!
Dammit...
Wait! Stay calm, Joe. Let's just run away for now.
Darn...
They're coming from behind us too!
Ken, there's no use running away.
If this is any indicator, they'll be waiting for us no matter where we go.
Come on, you can get away through here. Hurry!
All right!
Maybe I'll give them a little scare.
So we were too late after all.
Dokoaru has already fallen into Galactor's hands.
In other words, we were completely fooled, weren't we?
Since you're from the Science Ninja Team, you'll make my mama and papa
turn back into the nice people they were, right?
If all of the rest of the people in this city have gone mad,
then why do you figure this one kid is normal?
Do you always play down here, little boy?
Yeah! It's my own secret place!
I see, I get it now.
Those waves we felt before were brainwashing waves.
Those brainwashing waves have made everyone in this country go insane.
So that's it. And the waves couldn't reach underground, right?
Where could they be sending those waves from?
It would probably have to be the central radio station
to send out such strong waves.
I think that must be their base.
We'll sneak inside and attack!
This tunnel should pass under the central radio station.
Don't worry little boy, we'll get your mama and papa back to normal.
Really?
Yes, really. So stay here and hide, okay?
Okay! Then let's pinky-swear, Mister! Promise?
Okay, let's make a promise.
Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye!
That's strange. I don't think it was open a minute ago.
Oh no! He found us! Hurry up and hide!
Hey, rushing that much won't help!
Strange...
Who's in there?!
Come on, hurry up!
Those Gatchaman scum!
Thanks to those brainwashing waves,
right about now, they're probably getting a good thrashing from the townspeople.
Hey! Haven't you found where they hid the God Phoenix yet?
No, Sir! Please give us just a little more time.
Hurry up and find it, and smash it to pieces!
We have the Science Ninja Team completely trapped like rats!
You're the ones who are trapped like rats.
What?
It's Gatchaman! Fire!
Get lost!
Bird Run!
Take that!
Fire! Fire!
This is it.
Fire!
Here!
Oh no! The brainwashing device!
What's wrong, Black Bird?
Now that we've broken your brainwashing device, are you scared all of a sudden?
Good work, members of the Science Ninja Team.
While you were all fighting the Black Birds,
Galactor safely grabbed all of Dokoaru's gold, silver and diamonds.
Oh no! We were tricked!
I have no use for this country any more.
Oh yes, I forgot...
I predicted that you would destroy the brainwashing device,
so I rigged it with a time bomb
which will blow up the entire base three minutes later.
Lord Katse, what about us?
Your mission is over.
Now rest in peace along with the Science Ninja Team!
That's crazy!
Let's get out of here!
I won't let you get away!
Escape!
Guys, are you all right?
Big brother!
Over here! We're all right.
Dammit! Those Galactor bastards!
That was close. I'm glad everyone's all right.
Dammit! He completely beat us this time! That damn Berg Katse!
You jerk!
I wonder if that little boy found his mother?
Probably...
I guess that's all we can do for the people of Dokoaru this time.
Mama! Mama!
My little boy!
Mama!
I'm so glad...
I didn't know where you went, so I was worried.
That man from the Science Ninja Team turned you back to normal!
He kept his promise!
The man from the Science Ninja Team?
That must be them! The Science Ninja Team!
Thanks, guy from the Science Ninja Team!
For the Science Ninja Team, it was their first frustrating defeat.
But if there was one thing that made the five of them feel a little bit better as they left Dokoaru,
it must have been the glimmer in the round eyes of the little boy
being held in the arms of his gentle mother.

The Mantle Project's deep sea lab used for studying the Earth's crust
has suddenly stopped communicating with the surface.
Ken and Joe go to investigate in the deep-sea submersible Marine Satan.
Galactor quickly detects them and secretly sets a trap.
Just then, Joe the Condor suddenly collapses.
Stuck in the extreme situation of being 10,000 meters under the sea,
Gatchaman fights while protecting Joe.
