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
That's G-4
Splendid!
So Berg Katse, what do you think of Galactor's great Acrobat Riders?
Sir!
Those were training exercises for the new GCIA combat mecha, weren't they?
Correct! We have sent out over eighty mecha beasts so far,
and they've all been defeated by the Science Ninja Team.
Do you realize just how much I've had to rack my brain because of this?
My apologies, Sir.
Hurry up and defeat the Science Ninja Team so we can achieve our goal!
Stop standing around apologizing!
If we just knew where they were, we could attack them before they transformed.
I know.
Sir?
According to a computer analysis of all the data we've collected so far,
they mainly reside in the town of Jutland.
Are you sure, Sir?
Your job is to confirm that and use the GCIA to completely destroy the Science Ninja Team.
Certainly, Sir.
The International Science Organization got wind of the information that the GCIA,
which gathers intelligence for Galactor, was going to infiltrate Jutland,
and immediately informed the Science Ninja Team through Dr. Nambu.
Understood, Doctor.
I'm sure they're going to try to slip in across the border.
All right, we'll unmask them first!
Gatchaman!
Judging by your reaction, you must be from Galactor. I'm right, aren't I?
Go!
Be careful, Jun.
I can handle it.
Bird Run!
Eat this!
You did it! Your Jun Rocket's awesome!
Huh?
Those Riders are just as good as you'd expect.
We can't let our guard down around those guys.
Big brother, they couldn't have gone far yet. Let's go after them and finish them off!
No, leave them alone.
But...
They'll come after us again! But...
They'll come after us again!
Now we know who they really are.
They'll obviously take the offensive next time.
We'll fight them then.
Take off your bracelets, and make sure they don't find out who you really are.
Roger!
Okay then, now that our mission is over,
I think I'll go for a little drive before I go home.
Oh, no, you don't , Jinpei. The snack bar is really busy.
Here you go!
How dare you?!
You little brat!
How foolish of them to take the initiative and challenge us!
Now we know for sure that Gatchaman and the others are in Jutland!
But I should have known that Nambu would detect our movements.
Agent V, it's your turn now! Find out who they really are!
Understood!
I don't have enough workers right now. Help me out a little!
You're still a kid, so I understand that you want to just play, but...
I've been raising you like my own child, so try to understand how I feel.
Please try to be a good boy, okay? I'm not nagging you because I hate you.
It's all for your sake, Jinpei, so you should try to understand.
What?
Huh?
Jeez, he ran off already!
Sis doesn't understand how I feel at all.
How can she make the Science Ninja Team's G-4, the great Jinpei the Swallow, wash dishes?
Huh?
Jeez, I thought maybe it was a girl, but it's just some fat old guy.
Man, thanks a lot. Could you give me a lift into town?
I just came from town! I'm going the other way, so get out!
Now, now, you know what they say, it's best to have company on a journey.
This isn't a taxi! And I'm not gonna do what you say!
Come on, help me out here. Start the car already, will ya?
When I say no, I mean no!
I'm going into town to look for work. So relax, okay?
Looking for work?
Yeah!
Oh, I see.
So, do you have any leads on a job, Mister?
No, I'd take any job,
but I think a place with lots of young people would be nice and lively, which suits me.
In that case, I know just the place! I'll take you there.
Really? Wow, you're nicer than you look.
Well, just leave it to me.
Now I'll be able to play!
What was that?
Nothing, just talking to myself.
Oh, really?
Here's your order!
Woops!
Hey, Jun, that guy Jinpei found is doing pretty good, isn't he?
Yeah, he's been a really big help.
He might not look like it, but he works hard.
His name's Dave. I'm his guarantor.
Now Jinpei won't have to work any more.
I wonder where Jinpei found him anyway?
Here you are. Thank you so much.
TV is boring, maybe I'll go for a drive.
No, Jinpei, you can't !
But I found someone to take my place, didn't I?
That's not the problem, Jinpei.
I heard that suspicious hippie bikers have come into town. It's dangerous.
That's exactly what I've been waiting for.
I'm going to catch them and turn them in to the police!
Wow, you must be pretty tough, huh?
Just like one of the Science Ninja Team.
Ryu...
Oh, I didn't mean anything by that. Ryu...
Oh, I didn't mean anything by that.
I heard about the Science Ninja Team while I was traveling,
and I've been wanting to meet them. Do you know where I can find them?
Nope, I don't know either.
Oh really? That's too bad.
Okay, I'm going out for a little bit. I'll let you handle the rest.
Yeah, no problem. See you later.
G HQ, this is Agent V, Agent V...
What is it, Agent V? How are things going?
Sir, I was able to infiltrate the town.
I'm on a stake-out at a place where a lot of young people come.
I'll find the ones you're after for sure.
Do a good job. If you succeed, I'll make you a Galactor captain.
They have bracelets on their wrists,
and they each have their own mecha they get into.
Be on the lookout for their mecha too.
Yes, Sir. I'm prepared for them. I'll report in again later.
Pretty nice car you have here. It's modified for racing, isn't it? Nice, nice.
He sure seems sure of himself.
I did hear that one of the Science Ninja Team was a race car driver.
Hey, you look underage.
Should you really be driving a car around?
It's all right. I have a special license.
A special license?
That's right! I might not look it, but I'm ...
What's wrong, boy? You don't have a license after all, do you?
He's trying to trick us.
I'm in trouble. I can't let them find out who I really am.
One, two, three...
I know! They're the Galactor Riders!
Look! It's the Science Ninja Team!
What?
Hey!
Wait! Kid! Hey!
Wait! Kid!
Dammit, I can't transform here.
It's no use! At this rate, I'll...
All right!
What?
This is bad!
Let's get out of here! This is bad!
Let's get out of here!
You silly boy.
This is what you get for not listening to me and riding around.
But I think you hung in there really well.
Ken and the others are proud of you too.
Of course! I'm the great Jinpei the Swallow!
Little scratches like this can't make me cry!
Oww...
There, there, don't try to act tough. Oww...
There, there, don't try to act tough.
Sis, what about the snack bar?
It's okay, I let Dave take care of it.
But I have to go now.
Here, be a good boy and get some rest, okay?
Yeah, yeah. Here, be a good boy and get some rest, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Sis really can be nice after all.

Let me feed you. Here!
Hey, this is pretty good.
Have some more.
So, I hear somebody thought you were one of the Science Ninja Team,
and you ended up getting hurt?
Yeah, they were rough!
Poor kid, if you're one of the Science Ninja Team, then I'm a Galactor agent!
You're funny.
Hey, Mister, Sis says you'll stay in town until my wounds heal?
Sure thing! You helped me out a lot, so I'll be happy to help you.
Huh?
Oops! Uh-oh, if I keep goofing around, I'll get fired!
Make sure you eat well, okay?
Wait, you don't have to go yet, do you? Stay longer!
Yeah, yeah. Later!
Shoot! This is boring.
This is Agent V. Please come in, Lord Katse.
What's taking you so long? Haven't you found them yet?
My apologies, Sir. I have my eye on one guy though.
I'll confirm immediately and report back to you.
Hurry it up! If they find out who you are, this entire mission will be wasted!
And if that happens, you might as well consider yourself dead!
You got that, fatass?
Yes, Sir, understood.
It's just like Joe suspected. He's a spy sent by Galactor.
I could tell from the look in his eyes he wasn't an ordinary person.
That stupid Jinpei sure picked a good one to drag in.
If we were fooled, it's no wonder Jinpei was too.
I think it's a shame to put all the blame on Jinpei.
But the fact is Jinpei made a mistake.
Don't be soft on him.
What I'm trying to say is, Jinpei wanted someone who would talk with him man-to-man.
What do you mean by that? He has us to talk to.
That's not what I'm talking about. I mean someone like a father.
I remember when I was around his age, I still depended on my dad.
Yeah, he is still a kid.
Anyway, now that we know that guy's a spy, we can't just let him go.
We have to take care of him before he finds out who we are.
Then are we going to tell Jinpei?
No, it would be a pity to tell him something like that when he's hurt.
Let's just leave Jinpei be for now. I have an idea.
This must be one of the Ninja Team's bracelets!
So he really is...
Not necessarily one of the Science Ninja Team.
Those bracelets are a dime a dozen. Here, take a look.
Galactor Agent V, it's no use struggling. We have evidence!
Looks like you were a little too eager to get the glory.
Fine! Do whatever you want.
Good! Use your communicator to make a report to Berg Katse.
Tell him you're bringing in three of the Science Ninja Team,
and you want him to come meet you.
Come on, hurry up and do it!
Galactor Headquarters, this is Agent V. Agent V.
This is Galactor Headquarters, Berg Katse speaking.
What is it, V?
Sir, I've captured three of the Ninja Team.
What? Are you serious?
Good, I'll be waiting at the bridge on the border. Bring them there immediately.
Well done, Agent V. I'm going to make you a spy captain immediately!
Okay, that's good.
Now you're going to drive us to the bridge Katse mentioned.
Cheer up, Mr. Spy Captain.
Ken, we have a problem!
What is it, Jun?
Jinpei is gone!
What?
He's probably just sitting on the toilet reading comics or something.
His bracelet's gone, and so is his buggy that was parked out front!
Where did he run off to when he's hurt?
Ken, do you think he overheard our conversation through his bracelet
and went on ahead by himself?
What?
That's right! Jinpei would feel guilty, and...
He sure is a lot of trouble.
Dave is... Dave is...
G-4. Jinpei, this is Gatchaman. Come in.
Sorry, big brother. This thing about Dave is my fault.
I'll settle the rest myself.
Idiot! What do you think you can do when you're hurt like that?
Get back here, Jinpei!
Stop!
Sorry, Sis.
Jinpei!
It's no use.
Let's hurry after him! Ryu, you follow us in the God Phoenix.
Gotcha!
Joe, you take him with you.
Roger!
That kid was one of the Science Ninja Team?
Jinpei...
That kid sure has guts to come waltzing out here alone.
We'll finish off the whole Science Ninja Team, starting with him!
Here I come, Galactor!
If only I wasn't hurt, I could beat these guys no problem.
Dammit...
He might be one of the Science Ninja Team, but he's nothing but a small fry when he's alone.
Now, finish him off!
The Science Ninja Team!
Don't let them intimidate you! Get them!
Bird Run!
Dammit! Berg Katse, you scum!
Damn Katse...
Hey! Are you all right?
I got you! Hang in there!
Thanks, Dave.
What are you talking about? I'm the one who...
Jinpei, I'm sorry for tricking you.
I don't have a grudge against you.
I was tricking you too.
So it's even.
That's for sure.
Jinpei, get on, hurry!
What about you, Mister?
Stupid kid, listen to what your big sister tells you!
Mister!
They're all nothing but failures!
Agent V! Agent V!
How dare you betray me?!
Now I'm going to terminate you immediately, just like I said!
But if you tell me the Science Ninja Team's real identities, then I'll forgive you!
Now tell me!
Yes, Lord Katse...
Come on, tell me who they really are!
The Science Ninja Team is...
What are the real identities of the Science Ninja Team?
Hurry up and tell me, or I'll press the self-destruct button on the mecha.
It will blow up the bridge, and them with it!
And you'll go along with them!
What?!
Now tell me, unless you want to die!
Hurry up and tell me!
You damn blockhead! Go to Hell!
Sis!
Jun!
Jinpei! Jun!
Jinpei!
There!
Sorry I'm late. I just had a little something to eat.
But man, that was close!
Jinpei, don't get depressed. Cheer up!
I'm sure there will be other men you can talk with.
But the Snack Jun lost a great worker.
That's okay, I still have my hard-working Jinpei.
Damn...
Galactor left the town of Jutland.
However, the evil hand of Galactor is tenaciously closing in
on the Science Ninja Team.
When will peace finally come to the world?

The artificial sweetener Sugare was developed to take the place of sugar.
Galactor buys up the entire supply and throws the whole world into panic.
After a long search, Gatchaman and the others have found a large store of it.
However, Ryu, who got in too deep, is captured and taken to a base.
Jun and Joe want to rush out to save him, but Gatchaman stops them.
What kind of plan could he have in mind?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Galactor's Monopoly Operation" Look forward to it!
