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
Counterattack! The Underg round Torpedo Operation
The Crescent Coral Reef, which was destroyed by Galactor's surprise attack,
sinks down to the bottom of the abyss.
It is the heaviest blow Dr. Nambu and the Science Ninja Team have been dealt
in their long war with Galactor.
I finally did it! I destroyed the heart of Gatchaman and the others,
the Crescent Base, with my own hands.
Lord Berg Katse, I was told that we couldn't find anything in the wreckage of the Crescent Base.
I see. Well, that can't be helped
since the Crescent Base was completely destroyed.
Exactly, Sir. The Science Ninja Team probably shared the same fate as the God Phoenix.
Yes, I'll report to our Leader immediately. I bet I'll be praised.
La~lalalala la~lalala shabalalala la~
I simply cannot believe
that the almost invincible Science Ninja Team would meet a watery grave.
You overestimate the power of the Science Ninja Team, Leader.
Even those wretches are flesh-and-blood. They aren't invincible.
Then is there any proof? Proof that they really died?
You're such a skeptic! I destroyed the Crescent Base!
I should be praised. I can't think of any reason I should be berated.
I know that!
Then would it hurt for you to say a little something like,
“Good work, Katse, thank you”
and give me a medal?
I'm worried because your information often contains mistakes.
Okay, then. I'll be sure to bring you proof that the Science Ninja Team died.
When I do...
I'll give you what you wish.
When he gets praised, it goes straight to his head.
It's better if I make him angry like that.
Around that time, Dr. Nambu and the Science Ninja Team,
who were at the end of their rope with the setback of losing the Crescent Base,
were lost in thought.
What should we do? Even if I want to protect the colossal International Science Organization,
I don't even have a means of communicating.
We lost the data on the Mantle Project as well.
And we lost the manufacturing plant for Super Bird Missiles too,
along with the Crescent Base.
Joe, how many Super Bird Missiles do we have left?
So, only... only one left...
Doctor, what should we do now?
There's no question about it. We just have to fight!
But with only one Super Bird Missile...
Yeah, we won't be able crush Galactor's iron beast mechas.
Yeah, we'll end up being defeated again.
Even so, I'll fight! As long as I have my arms and legs,
I'll keep fighting against Galactor to the end.
I understand how you feel, Joe. But we can't just fight.
We have to destroy Galactor.
We can't defeat Galactor with just arms and legs.
Ken, in addition to weapons, don't we also have wisdom and courage?
Yes...
What?! Galactor's iron beast mecha is...
Run!
Please give us the order to deploy, Doctor!
That's right!
We'll fire the Super Bird Missile at the iron beast mecha!
Let's go!
Hold it!
I won't give you the order to deploy and fight. You all stand by here.
Doctor!
The place Galactor's attacking is a tourist city,
which doesn't have any strategic value for us at all.
You don't have to deploy and fight. Just leave it to UN forces.
Doctor, have you lost your mind?!
Even if there's no strategic value,
there are 300,000 people in that city.
Are you going to just sit back and let them die?
The Doctor's gotten scared since the Crescent Base was destroyed.
Doctor, we still have one Super Bird Missile left.
Please give us the order to deploy and fight!
I can't do that.
Dammit, I'm going! No matter what others may say, I'm going!
Me too.
Doctor!
Everyone, bear with me. I can't let you deploy now.
Alpha City was destroyed by Galactor's attack.
But due to prompt action by UN forces, the citizens rushed into an underground shelter,
and escaped danger in the nick of time.
As I thought, Gatchaman didn't appear.
This is clear proof that they no longer exist in this world.
Now our Leader has no other choice but to believe it.
Of course, if dead people appear, they're nothing but ghosts.
That whistle is...
May I come in, Lord Katse?
You idiot! To think you'd be whistling during the operation!
I apologize, Sir. I didn't mean to, but I was just happy too, and...
What do you want?
Yes, Sir! We've completely destroyed the target.
Good, start the next operation.
Yes, Sir!
Even I'd say that I'm crazy for being scared of the dead Science Ninja Team.
Launch preparations for the underground torpedo X-1 completed!
Launch angle, check!
Guidance system, all clear!
Automatic course-correction system activated!
Launch the X-1 !
Yes, Sir! Launch the X-1 !
Launch the X-2 and X-3!
What?! The UN forces' Beta Base was attacked? Gamma Factory too?
Yes... So, they're neither missiles nor the iron beast mecha?
Okay, got it.
They're not being attacking from the sky, nor from the ground.
Then...
Oh! I got it!
Everyone, it's time to deploy!
Look at this.
We've determined their launch point
based on the locations of the bases that were attacked.
This is Galactor's underground torpedo operation base!
That's an international airport, Doctor!
That's something that Galactor would think of.
Hey, let's go and crush them right away!
This is payback for the Crescent Base!
Hold it. Don't be hasty.
The goal of this operation isn't destroying the enemy's base.
Listen! This operation is to sneak into the enemy's base,
steal the data directly connected to their computer circuits,
and find Galactor's headquarters.
Fortunately, Galactor thinks that you're dead.
You can also tell that from their attack on a strategically worthless tourist city
to see whether you were coming out or not.
Take advantage of the fact that they think you're dead.
Gather the team and launch the God Phoenix!
Roger!
This international airport was used as an air base during the last world war,
but it was renovated and is now in use as a new airport.
Those Galactor scum!
To think they would resort to such shameless tactics just because we aren't around.
Damn those bastards! Where the hell are they hiding?
Hey, what's that building?
That's an old control tower that hasn't been torn down yet.
There's something fishy about it. Okay, let's all go take a look.
All right, let's go!
Jinpei!
Sis! Jinpei!
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Ouch...
Jinpei, where are you?!
Big brother! I'm here!
Ken, he's down there!
What?!
Oh boy, Jinpei, that's quite a big fall you took.
Sis!
Hold on tight! I'm coming to rescue you.
Bird Run!
Jinpei! Are you all right?
Oh, Sis...
Well, what do you know! This is an old underground hangar.
Moreover, there's no way out.
Hey, there's an empty space on the other side of this wall.
All right... Hold on a second.
I'll be damned! There are tons of torpedoes.
What?!
All right, Joe, take care of it!
Okay.
I wonder if these were also used in the last war?
But don't you think they're too new if that's the case?
Something's fishy.
Just as we thought...
These are a new model of underground torpedoes with a course-correction system.
All right! I'll destroy every one of them!
Hold it! You don't have to be so hasty.
Huh?
Everyone, give your mini locators to me.
Hey, big brother, what the heck is Joe trying to do?
I don't know. We just have to leave it to Joe.
Wait until you see what I'm doing.
Hey, Joe, what did you do?
Well, we don't want these torpedoes to get lost like you,
so I attached ID tags to them.
Ryu, go back to the airport control tower immediately
and have the people evacuated. Go!
What? You want me to go back?
Go quickly! They may explode!
Darn! I thought for sure I'd be able to go wild today.
Guess it can't be helped. Oof...
We'll steal the tape as Dr. Nambu ordered as soon as possible.
Roger!
My fellow members of Galactor!
Our long years of hard work have finally been rewarded,
and the day has come for us to start our final operation to conquer the world!
For this memorable celebration, our Leader gave me the tape
that he recorded the final plan on.
Do you wanna have a drink? that he recorded the final plan on.
Do you wanna have a drink?
Sure. Everything is explained on this tape;
what weapons should be used and which countries to occupy.
That's it! what weapons should be used and which countries to occupy.
So, we'll know where Galactor's headquarters are with that tape. what weapons should be used and which countries to occupy.
So, we'll know where Galactor's headquarters are with that tape. I want you to listen carefully so that there won't be any confusion
when you participate in the operation.
Well then, I'll let you hear the tape before making toasts.
Lord Katse! Someone's broken in!
What?!
The wall of the torpedo hangar has been ripped open! What should I do?
You idiot! What if it was one of our enemy's secret agents?!
Find him immediately and shoot him to death!
Yes, Sir!
Geez... What fools they all are!
This is why I always get scolded by our Leader.
Look at things from my perspective.
Since we killed Gatchaman and the others, it's a bit better, but...
How shameful...
This is why I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
What happened?
Are we trying to reduce the power bill?
Turn the lights on quickly! Are we trying to reduce the power bill?
Hey! There's someone over there!
He's right!
Hurry up and turn the lights on!
That must be one of our enemy's secret agents! Shoot him down!
Huh? There's no one there.
He got away. Hurry up and find him!
What? But we haven't even had a sip yet.
You idiot! You can drink any time!
All of you go and find him immediately!
Darn it, what's with this?
He really is a demon.
There may be a lot of them, but they're all shoddy.
We can't even relax and hold a celebration.
Is it my imagination?
Well, but I really heard Gatchaman's whistling.
No, no, no, no. It can't be. I saw them die with my own eyes.
No matter how invincible he was, unless it's a ghost...
Who is it?! Where are you?!
Hey, stop it!
You are... It can't be!
In order to destroy Galactor, the white shadow came back from the darkness of the sea.
I'm the invincible Gatchaman.
What the hell is happening? Am I dreaming?
Oh, I can't believe it!
That's only natural. Shall we show him how real we are?
Sure.
Then, you were deceiving me until now?
How dare you, you Gatchaman scum?!
Die!
Bird Run!
Don't move, Gatchaman. You made a fool of me and you're trying to steal the tape?
That's asking too much.
Damn!
Dammit!
Stop!
Damn!
Ken, let's get out of here quick!
Hey! It's the Science Ninja Team!
We almost caught him. That scum Katse!
Hey, it's Gatchaman!
Why you!
Take that!
That damn Science Ninja Team!
How much more of the devil's luck do they have?!
Captain, blow up this base after firing the underground torpedoes!
Yes, Sir, understood!
We'll blow them up along with this airport!
Everyone, please hurry. This airport will be blown up soon!
Please evacuate quickly!
Ryu, launch the God Phoenix.
Got it!
Prepare to fire the underground torpedoes!
Yes, Sir!
Joe, there's only one Super Bird Missile left. I'm counting on you.
I know. Ryu, get as close to that mecha as possible.
Got it.
Lord Katse, the God Phoenix is coming.
Darn! So the God Phoenix was okay too? Those smart-alecks!
Shoot it down!
Joe, fire now!
Not yet!
Get out of here!
Hey! You can't run away! Get out of here!
Hey! You can't run away!
But the missile hit right in the engine area. What will we do?
You imbecile! They always make it act like a dud and set a timer.
If you remove it right away, it won't explode. Do it quickly! Now!
Joe, a timer shouldn't take this long. Could it be a dud?
That's right. Well, just relax and see what happens.
All right, all right.
Lord Katse, what do you think is going on?
The underground torpedoes aren't heading toward to the airport,
they're heading toward this mecha instead!
That can't be...
This isn't good! Turn around and run away! Hurry up!
It won't work! It's too late!
We did it! That'll teach them!
I see... Mini transmitters can be used like that too, huh?
Phew... You made me nervous. You're terrible, Joe.
We've now used up the Super Bird Missiles.
If I could have, I would have fired it into Katse's stomach.
Well, that's okay. We got this tape.
At least this'll be a nice gift for Dr. Nambu.
Thanks to your hard work, we'll finally know the location of Galactor's headquarters.
Damn!
Damn that Berg Katse!
The last stronghold of Dr. Nambu, Gatchaman and the others has been destroyed.
They are trying hard to bounce back from that blow.
In their eyes, a pledge to destroy Galactor can be clearly seen.

Due to a sudden large-scale blackout, chaos continues in Jutland City.
Because of that, a boy falls into a crisis during an operation.
Gatchaman investigates what's said to be the world's premier Trash Power Plant.
However, Katse has already quietly begun to act with Angler, the Electric Devil Beast.
When will the lights really come back to people in this big city?
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: “Angler, the Electric Devil Beast” Look forward to it!
