Patog iller The Triple Combined I ron Beast
Patrol is so exhausting.
Huh? A villa this deep in the mountains?
I wonder if anybody's there?
Awesome! She's just my type! This is so cool!
Dear Lord, I'm a very bad little boy. Please forgive me.
Stupid! Stupid! Bad boy!
That's better.
I think I'll take another look!
That vehicle...
Hurry, come with me!
What are you doing?
No! I want to stay here! Let me go!
Huh? Hey, wait a minute, come on...
If you don't treat me better, I'll tell Papa.
Then you'll be in trouble!
I understand.
Darn! I wanted to see her a little longer.
But she was one hot girl! Sis has nothing on her!
Did you say something, Jinpei?
No, it's nothing. It's none of your business.
Maybe I should get a haircut once in a while.
It's getting pretty long.
You're freaking me out. What in the world is up with you?
Hey, Tetsuya, I mean Jinpei, what the hell are you doing?
Oh, nothing.
Your hair should be like this and this...
Yeah, that style looks best on you.
We interrupt this program for a breaking news bulletin.
Maria Roberts, the only daughter of world-famous millionaire Mr. Roberts,
was kidnapped ten days ago and has been missing ever since.
However, now a ransom note has been received from the kidnapper
demanding one billion yen for her safe return.
Maria is a pretty fourteen-year-old young lady with blonde hair.
It's her!
Hey, she's kinda pretty.
But this sure makes me glad I wasn't born into a rich family.
Your family would actually be glad if you got kidnapped, wouldn't they?
Hey, what did you mean by that?!
Jinpei, where are you going?
Uh, well, I just remembered something I had to do.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
Don't be gone long! We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
It's Maria!
What was that sound?
Who's there?
You letch!
How rude! How dare you peep into the shower room?!
No! You got it all wrong! I came to save you.
You're Maria, the girl who was kidnapped, right?
That's right.
"That's right"? That's right.
"That's right"?
Run away with me, fast!
No! Papa's going to give them the one billion yen soon.
Then I'll be able to make a grand return.
That's what you say...
Hey! How long are you going to stay in there?! Come on out!
No!
Who's in there?
Who are you?
Don't move!
Straight jab!
Uppercut!
Neck throw!
Hot!
You're strong! Oh, I love that! Tell me your name.
The name's ... I mean... My name is Jinpei.
Please get dressed quickly.
Listen, hold on tight, okay?
Right, I won't let go of you.
What happened?
What happened? Hey!
Why you, you're not getting away!
What's going on?
Come on, hurry up!
I can't , my leg hurts. Come on, hurry up!
I can't , my leg hurts.
We give up! Please don't shoot!
Good, put your hands up and walk toward me.
I surrender. Have mercy, Mister.
You're not just some ordinary brat, are you, kid? What's your name?
What, you ain't gonna tell me, you little bastard?
I'll tell you!
I'm Mr. Nobody!
Roundhouse kick! Back kick!
Take this!
And another one!
Jeez! Finished already?
That wasn't even worth the effort!
That was so cool!
I love strong men like you!
Be my friend! Okay?
Uh, well, everyone's worried about me, so I have to get back fast!
And so, thanks to Jinpei's unexpected feat,
Maria, the daughter of a world-famous millionaire,
was safely returned to her parents.
However, the case took an unforeseen turn.
And here, in the local police department...
Oh, Chief.
Is this them?
The nefarious kidnappers who caused all the stir?
Yes, Sir.
What about the boy who helped rescue the girl?
Well, he disappeared before we even realized it.
I see... Disappeared, huh?
When a person does a heroic deed like that,
it's human nature for him to want to show off in front of other people.
But this kid just disappeared?
Why do you think that is?
Beats me.
Okay, you guys go on and leave. I'll do the interrogation.
But why would you do that, Chief?
Didn't you hear me? I said to leave!
Yes, Sir.
Damn...
Just a little longer and we would have had a billion yen!
That kid wasn't just some ordinary brat...
I know he wasn't ordinary!
No ordinary brat could have beaten up six prime fighters like you and taken Maria,
even if you are all muscle and no brains.
Now, I want you guys to tell me everything you can about that kid.
Yes, Sir, for one thing, he was as nimble as a bird.
He was, how do I put it... Just like...
You'd better not tell me he was like one of the Science Ninja Team.
Well?
Now that you mention it,
there was some sort of vehicle that looked like it belonged to the Science Ninja Team
flying over the villa this afternoon.
I guess this “ nimble kid” is at least worth investigating.
Chief!
Yes, Sir.
It was painful to lose that billion yen in ransom money
that we had planned to use as capital for Galactor.
Yes, Sir! My apologies.
I regret that we didn't succeed even while I was watching over things.
But according to your report,
you might be able to discover the true identity of one of the Science Ninja Team. Is that true?
Yes, Sir.
If by any chance that kid is one of the Science Ninja Team,
my subordinates have seen his face, so...
Good work. Check out every little detail about that kid!
Deploy Patogiller if necessary.
Leave it to me. In fact, I have all of my men searching for him.
It's only a matter of time before we find out where he is.
Maria...
Oh, how heart-breaking!
Maria!
Maria...
Jinpei?
Jinpei, what's wrong?
Maria!
I missed you!
What do you think you're doing?
Oh, it's you, Sis? Ow, that hurt.
Hey, what's wrong with you, Jinpei? You're acting a little strange.
It's nothing.
Oh? But something seems odd.
That's weird. I thought I just saw somebody here.
Huh?
It's addressed to Jinpei.
Chief, I found out where the kid is.
It looks like Mission 1 is going according to plan.
Yahoo! It's from her!
Who's “ her” ?
Go away! It's none of your business, Sis.
Fine, you little miser.
Hey, Jinpei, when did you find a girlfriend?
Just go away, all right?
Yeah, yeah!
What does it say?
"Dear Jinpei, I owe you my life."
"I'll be waiting for you at Yahiro Amusement Park today at 12:00."
I want to thank you, so please be sure to come. Make sure you come!
From, Maria.
Maria!
Maria! Maria!
I didn't realize I was so popular with the ladies! Maria!
I'm so happy!
Welcome, please enjoy yourself.
I have a report.
The rat has just gone through the front gate and into the trap.
Roger! Just to be safe, send out a jamming signal.
Understood, Sir.
I wonder what I should say when I see Maria?
"You look pretty, Maria."
No, too typical.
"Maria, were you born into this world just to sweep me off my feet like this?"
That sounds too pretentious.
Maria!
Jinpei!
You're late, aren't you?
Good afternoon, Maria.
When you invite a lady out, you mustn't be late.
Sorry, I really did hurry right over here.
I'm telling you the truth.
Wait, “ invited?” Wasn't it you who invited me?
No way!
I got a letter from you, so I snuck out without Mamma and Papa knowing,
and came as fast as I could.
So that means, we were both invited by someone?
Who cares about that?
I'm so happy I could get to be friends with you, Jinpei.
Aren't you happy, Jinpei?
Yeah, I'm happy too.
Wait a minute...
This really is weird. No one else is here.
This is a trap.

I see, he's already realized it's a trap.
Get him completely cornered!
If he really is one of the Science Ninja Team, I'm sure he'll reveal himself at the last moment!
Yes, Sir!
What's wrong, Jinpei?
Never mind, just run away, fast!
Oh, no! This way!
Close the exits!
This way!
Hurry!
This isn't good!
There they are!
What? Jinpei went on a date?
That's right!
He got a letter just a little while ago, so he probably went on a date.
I wonder when he found a girlfriend?
He stole a march on me!
This girlfriend, what was her name, Jun?
Well, what was it?
I'm pretty sure it was Mari... Mari...
Oh, yeah, that's it, he said " Maria."
What? Is Maria...
She couldn't be that girl who was just in the news, could she?
What's going on?
When did that get here?
It's a crayfish mecha! When did that get here?
It's a crayfish mecha!
Let's go!
Here it comes! It's the God Phoenix!
We're going to be a decoy. Pull out!
Right!
Jun, contact Jinpei.
Okay!
Jinpei, come in. Can you hear me, Jinpei?
This is weird, I'm getting static!
Damn! It stinks that we can't use the Super Bird Missiles.
Darn it, he's probably doing something really fun right about now.
Pay attention to piloting, will you?
Jinpei, I'm scared.
It's okay. Hold on tight to me.
Stupid kids, I'll run them right off the tracks!
Oh, no!
Jinpei! Oh, no!
Jinpei!
Jinpei, it's going to be here soon.
Damn, if I transform now, she'll know that I'm one of the Science Ninja Team.
What should I do?
This has gotten interesting.
I think I'll sit back and take in the sight.
Meanwhile, Ken and the others were chasing the crayfish mecha deep in the sea,
unaware of the danger that Jinpei was in.
What's that?
They're squid missiles!
This is weird. It's just like it's luring us somewhere.
Those Galactor scum are probably plotting something again.
And now that I think about it, it's strange that I can't contact Jinpei.
It's like they're trying to buy time.
Oh, no!
Jun, you said a letter came for Jinpei, right?
Yeah!
It's a trap! There's no way Jinpei would give out his address.
That's one of our ironclad rules!
Ryu, turn back! Jinpei's in trouble!
Understood!
Oh, no! It's the crayfish mecha!
Now! Power up! Go!
Jun, don't take your eyes off the radar.
If Galactor is uses a mecha, it should show a response.
Roger!
Darn it, I don't have any other choice.
Bird...
It's Katse! What a dirty trick! He's watching!
Listen, close your eyes and hold on tight.
Right!
There!
There's no doubt about it!
The fact that he can do something like that proves he's one of the Science Ninja Team!
Absolutely do not let him get away!
Close in on him and expose their true identities!
Hey!
Hey! You!
Dammit!
What are you doing? Unite Patogiller and deploy it!
Leave it to me.
Maria!
Ooh, I can't wait!
We're finally going to find out the true identities of the Science Ninja Team! Right, Chief?
In the end even they were just children, eh?
Right?
I'm sorry!
Big brother! Do something!
Big brother!
Jeez, what took you so long?
It's Gatchaman!
Ken, what's with the dummy?
We'll use the same trick we did with Gezora.
We'll let Katse get a good look, so he can see that there's five of us in here,
since he's seen Jinpei's face.
Chief! Find out how many people are in there! There should only be four.
Look! Just as I thought! There's only four!
No, there should be one piloting the plane, so there's five.
What?!
Berg Katse, it looks like you've realized that you're no match for us.
So now you're playing around with children, is that it?
Then who is that kid?
Maybe he's just a normal brat who's taking karate or something.
It was really popular at one point.
You're the one who told me he was one of the Science Ninja Team!
Fool!
Ow! Fool!
Ow! You imbecile!
Ow, ow, ow! You imbecile!
Ow, ow, ow!
Jun, throw the dummy towards Jinpei.
Okay!
Oh! One of them went to rescue the kids!
Sweet!
Bird Go!
That went well.
Patogiller! Commence a full-out attack! Crush them!
Damn them!
Oh, no! It's a smoke screen!
There it is!
Jinpei, hurry up and get over here!
We're going to use Super Bird Missiles!
Big brother!
Oh, Jinpei!
Dammit! Why are you just standing there like an idiot?
Sir?
Hurry up and take us away! Sir?
Hurry up and take us away!
Yes, Sir!
An expert at running away, as always.
One of these days, we're going to finish you off, just you wait!
Big brother...
Well... Sorry for being selfish and going off on my own.
Jinpei, I want you to remember one thing.
Everyone who gets close to us ends up in danger,
just like that girl.
I know, big brother!
Oh, no! I really fainted, looking like that?
You're kidding me, right?
It's the truth, really!
No, you're kidding! Stop teasing, Jinpei!
I have something to do, so I have to go.
You're leaving already?
Be sure to come back and see me, okay?
After all, we've become friends, right? Promise!
I'll come every day, I promise.
Okay, I'll come back again! Bye-bye!
I'll be waiting!
Maria, farewell. Farewell...
Jinpei...
We absolutely must keep our identities a secret until our mission is over.
And in order to do that... In other words, well, how do I put it...
That means even if you get a girlfriend...
Yeah, I know, big brother.
You'll get to see her again soon. So cheer up, okay?
Don't worry! I'm absolutely fine, just a little tired.
I'm all better now!
One! Two! Face right! Right! One!
Poor Jinpei...
He grew up before I even realized it.
Oh yeah, it sounds like his voice has stopped changing too.
Jinpei felt his heart race over a girl for the first time.
However, as long as he is one of the Science Ninja Team,
he is not allowed to give in to those feelings.
And so, Jinpei's first love ended.
Maria!

Is Katse's true identity female?
The man who holds the key to that secret is in a prison.
When Gatchaman and the others immediately go to investigate,
all kinds of information about the mysterious Katse's life comes to light.
However, by that time, Galactor has taken the initiative
and is already closing in on Gatchaman and the others
with the iron beast mecha Snake 828.
What could Katse's true identity possibly be?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Iron Beast Snake 828" Look forward to it!
