The Evil Grand Black Hole Operation
Ryu! Get us free from that thing quick!
That's impossible 'cause of the catfish's damn whiskers.
Joe's not here, so we can't use the Super Bird Missiles!
No, it's all right.
Really?
G-2 is combined into the God Phoenix.
So that means we can fire the Super Bird Missiles!
But we won't be able to fire until we break free from this catfish!
Then it's sink or swim! I'm gonna go for broke!
Here it comes!
There! How do ya like the great Ryu the Owl's piloting?!
Okay, turn it around 180 degrees!
Roger!
Is that some awful piloting or what?!
Hang on tight!
Ryu! Maintain course and head in!
I'm already on it!
Distance, 500!
Now!
Are the four of you all right?
Galactor had us completely fooled with this decoy operation.
Decoy operation?
You mean that mecha wasn't causing the earthquakes?
Correct, as there are still earthquakes occurring, that is all I can conclude.
Then does this mean there are even more mecha somewhere?
No, this was probably just a subterfuge to serve as cover for some other operation.
If their goal was to simply cause an earthquake, they've done so many times in the past.
Galactor never uses the same tactics twice.
Then that means...
They undoubtedly have something even more extreme in mind.
At any rate, I'll update you as soon as we learn more. In the meantime, locate Joe!
His strength exhausted, Joe has been taken to Galactor Headquarters.
Now he lies on his back as his condition grows steadily worse.
The Condor is truly at Death's door.
Meanwhile, Galactor's final and ultimate plan,
the Black Hole Operation, is making steady progress.
At the same time, in the vastness of space, a single celestial body
gradually loses its light until it finally is extinguished.
The planet known as Selectol, which was larger than the Earth,
suddenly vanishes within the blackness of space.
However, no one understands the significance of this incident.
Selectol has disappeared! And without warning!
Why are you surprised, Leader?
So what if a planet or two vanishes?
Nothing was more important to me than that planet!
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about now, is it?
If the Black Hole Operation we are engaged in is successful,
the Earth shall be yours instead, right?
I'm afraid if Selectol has vanished then so too have my hopes and dreams.
However, I see any order through to the very end.
Leader, please get a hold of yourself!
The drilling machine will very soon reach the Earth's mantle.
Please give me your next orders quickly!
Okay, if this is how it is, then I'll destroy the Earth,
and make it go down with Selectol!
But... That's not what we had agreed on!
I am aware of that.
If this mission succeeds, then all the humans of the Earth will surely submit to us.
At that time, I shall give you rule over this Earth.
Now, set the destructive mechanism in the Earth's mantle immediately!
Yes, Sir! I shall do it right away.
You fool.
The Earth belongs to no one.
I shall personally obliterate it from this universe forever!
The drill has halted in the upper region of the Earth's mantle.
Explosive device is now set.
Very good!
Now at last the Earth shall be mine!
Oh, how eagerly I have waited for this moment!
Long live Galactor!
Information Bureau Director, are you still unable to locate the Red lmpulse Squad?
It's been over a week since they were last in touch with us.
I am convinced that something has happened!
Begin searching for them right away.
I'm counting on you.
Lord Katse! We have recorded a magnitude 5 quake!
Keep your shirt on!
This headquarters has been designed to withstand up to a magnitude 9,
plus a mecha has been inserted ahead of the drill which absorbs the quake vibrations.
So relax and continue with the operation!
This is the aggregate data systems center.
Seismographs and magma meters around the world are now detecting
what appears to be the initial stage of a neutron reaction.
What?! A neutron reaction?
Correct.
We believe that someone has detonated a nuclear device
deep beneath the surface of the Earth.
All right, I'm on my way now!
Something must have happened to him if we still haven't heard from him.
Joe, please answer! Where are you?!
He's a really brazen guy, but I kind of miss him now that he's gone.
Hey, let's split up and give the search one more try!
We'll all go in our mecha!
That's it! That will expand the area we can cover in our search!
I see. All right then!
We're going to hunt down Joe the Condor, even to the ends of the Earth!
Attention, team...
Return to base and report to me right away.
What? Yes, Sir, but we still haven't discovered Joe's whereabouts.
Forget about Joe.
Huh?!
What?! Huh?!
What?!
Doctor!
More important than that, we have a very serious issue on our hands,
which concerns the entire world.
For us, finding Joe is also a serious issue!
Damn right!
It is not simply the life of one man,
but rather the survival of humanity that is on the line right now!
What exactly is this serious crisis you're talking about?
I cannot explain the details to you now.
Even if Joe is faced with his own crisis right now,
I believe he knows how to find his way out of it.
Trust in his abilities and return at once.
Ryu, set our course northwest. We're going back to base.
But then Joe will be alone.
Ken!
Just do as I say.
Wherever Joe may be,
all we can do now is pray that he'll be all right.
C'mon now, what's the matter, you little Science Ninja maggot?
C'mon, Joe the Condor, or whatever your name is. Where's all your usual spunk, huh?
You've really put us through the wringer, and now you're scarcely more than a corpse!
Of course it wouldn't be any fun at all if we were to take your life so quickly.
Ah, I know, I'll keep you alive to experience pain beyond death.
You there! Take him to the laboratory!
Yes, Sir. Right away, Sir.
All right, c'mon! Man, you are one serious pain in the ass.
Say, Lord Katse, we were wondering if we could have his weapon.
Right?
And what do you plan to do with this piece of trash?
We were thinking we'd keep it as a little trophy
in commemoration of our defeating the Science Ninja Team.
Ah, very well then, I'll give it to you.
It pains me to even see it, so take it away.
Thank you very much, Sir.
Well? The Black Hole Operation is progressing smoothly, I trust.
Yes, Sir! We will perform the third detonation now.
This just in from the AP Newswire.
Even in the country of lmalia,
a volcano has violently erupted without giving any advance warning.
There appear to be a large number of casualties.
Up to now, that makes...
So there you go.
This is clear proof that someone is undoubtedly using
artificial means to set off nuclear explosions under the Earth's surface,
within the mantle, to be precise.
Still, I can't believe ordinary nuclear explosions could cause something like this!
I think there could definitely be a neutron reaction.
Neutron reaction?
You get it, Jinpei?
Well, I know who Newton is, but...
You dummy.
As you know, the Earth's mantle and the areas of magma that form part of the Earth's interior
are primarily composed of iron and nickel.
There are neutral particles called neutrinos within these elements,
and if they are made to react with certain special explosives,
detonation will be induced within the mantle,
and a reaction will occur that will intensify the explosion tremendously.
If the process is repeated over and over in a short amount of time,
I predict the subterranean motion will become quite vigorous,
ultimately leading to...
What will happen, Doctor?
The Earth will be obliterated.
What?!
The pressure on the Earth's interior will increase so much
that the planet will collapse like a balloon that has lost its air.
It will lead to an area where only high gravity remains,
a so-called black hole: a big, dark pit in space.
He said a big, dark pit in space!
Now the doctor's talking nutty!
How can you have a big pit right in the middle of outer space, huh?
This ain't no laughing matter, ya frickin' dumbass!
It's no surprise that you'd have a hard time believing it.
Even though I say " pit,"
it's actually an area where only tremendous gravitational pull remains.
Meteors and other objects that come within proximity of it are swallowed.
The world-famous scientist, Doctor Einstein
has postulated that such things do in fact exist in outer space.
Then the planet Selectol, which recently vanished...
Could it be?!
If there is some connection, Could it be?!
If there is some connection,
then this could be the greatest crisis the Earth has ever faced.
Only Galactor could carry out such a dreadful scheme.
Damn you, Galactor! How dare you do such a thing to our precious Earth?!

Magnitude 6!
Hey, are we really gonna be all right?
This is getting freakier by the minute!
It's really shaking now, huh?
Ya really think we don't need to evacuate?
It's all right, Katse's not running!
Okay, this one goes like so...
Listen, you have to get it up and running, at least the communicator if nothing else.
I understand that the spread of damage has been world-wide,
but at what points exactly did the nuclear blasts occur?
Haven't you figured it out yet?
Then extrapolate them in the computer, right away.
If we're too late, who will be the one to apologize to all of humanity?!
Can't you hurry up?!
Where could Joe have gone at a time like this?
Sucks to be you.
This will give you your energy back for a while,
but when the medicine's worn off,
your symptoms will come back worse than before, and you'll die in agony.
Whoa, whoa, easy there.
It certainly is effective. Now take him to Lord Katse.
Ah! Help!
Yeah! We did it! All right! Woo-hoo!
Man, I hope this works...
Huh?
Doctor! I've got contact from Joe!
What?!
I have... discovered... Galactor's ... headquarters!
It's ordinary Morse code.
That's odd...
For him to send such important information with regular Morse...
It might be another one of Galactor's traps.
But the fact that my bracelet is responding to the signal
means that it's definitely Joe!
Doctor, let us go! Joe might be on to something!
However, as Jinpei said, it may be a trap Galactor has set.
We're ready for that.
And besides, I believe that Galactor is connected
to the chaos that has overtaken the entire world!
That's right! We're not afraid of traps at all!
Very well then, but proceed with the necessary caution.
Joe will likely not have much strength.
He must be given some manner of respite, and soon.
Understood!
Let's go, guys!
Roger!
Jun, get a fix on Joe's signal.
Don't you dare lose track of it!
Roger.
It appears you have somehow managed to survive, Joe the Condor.
I'm afraid I'll need you alive just a little longer
in order for us to halt the actions of the Science Ninja Team.
Plus, there's something I want you to see now,
while the medicine is still working.
Listen well, Joe the Condor.
The entire world will be Galactor's in just a short amount of time.
What?!
And this black hole device
is what you may consider to be the heart of our operation.
Black hole?!
Correct. And what do you think this is?
Perhaps this is a little too difficult a question for you.
When this meter reaches zero,
the Earth will be completely obliterated.
What?!
Ken, the signal is coming from under Cross Karakoram.
All right, make an emergency landing.
Huh? In all this fog?
I am fully aware of the danger.
But Joe is waiting down there.
All right, then I say you just leave it to me!
Whoa, check that out!
There's some weird patterns on the ground down there!
What the heck kind of magic symbols are those supposed to be?
It also looks like a kind of giant runway, doesn't it?
We've finally found our way to Galactor's headquarters!
It seems that finding out about our plan has pushed you over the edge.
Truly magnificent, Berg Katse.
To have sunk that low puts you in a class of your own as an enemy.
It looks like the drug's effect is about to wear off.
All that's left for you now is an agonizing death by inches!
What's going on?!
Too bad for you!
I'm too good to be killed by a weakened swine who should have kicked the bucket by now!
lmmobilize him now!
How ya like that? Now I'll put a few through your heart for good measure!
I know you'd like to do that, but there's no point wasting bullets
on a guy who's going to die anyway.
Lord Katse! The God Phoenix is approaching!
What?! How could they have known about this place?!
Curses! Here they come to interfere with our plans yet again!
Knock them out of the sky with our missiles!
Ryu, we're abandoning the God Phoenix! Everyone get out!
Roger!
I have no idea where the entrance is, but let's move!
Gatchaman! We've been waiting for you!
It's me, Masaki and Oniishi too.
Red lmpulse! What are you doing here?!
We were also able to finally track down and infiltrate this base.
So I see!
Then you're also the ones who let us in?
Right, we're also the ones who sent you the Morse code message.
Ah, but more importantly, your teammate has been captured by Katse.
What? Joe has?!
He was here of all places?
No wonder we couldn't find him.
So, is he okay?
I don't know. There's no time, so let's go!
Damn it all!
I don't believe it! I thought this was strange, and now I find Red lmpulse had infiltrated us!
They just don't know when to die!
Sniper team! Take out these infiltrators immediately!
Now that you've entered Galactor's headquarters,
you'll never get out alive!
Strange... I could have sworn they took him to this room.
Damn! It's a trap!
It's no good. He was killed instantly.
Masaki!
Ken, Oniishi is still alive!
He says, " Now... I can... go see... the... Captain."
"You'll have to... take care... of the... rest."
"Fare... well,"
"Sci... ence... Ninja... Team..."
Show yourself, Berg Katse!
Finished saying your last goodbyes, Gatchaman?
Now Red lmpulse has been fully eradicated.
All that remains now is you of the Science Ninja Team.
And if you think you're trying to interfere
with our Black Hole Operation, then you are already too late!
Give up, Science Ninja Team!
Now finish them off! Fire!
It's a hand grenade!
Run! It's no use now!
You fools! Pick them up and throw them off quickly!
Easy for you to say!
Do it quick!
What did I tell you?!
Listen, team, don't let Red lmpulse have died in vain.
Locate the entrance to their headquarters quick!
Roger!
I'll get every one of them!
Mankind will soon be surrendering to me!
There is absolutely no way I'll let them get in the way now!
Red lmpulse has been completely eradicated.
Dr. Nambu and Director Anderson, who have now lost their trump card, are at a loss.
Joe the Condor struggles with all his might against his impending death.
The Gatchaman team is now faced with the Black Hole Operation,
the greatest crisis in the history of mankind.
Will they possibly be able to save the Earth now?
The ominous underground explosions
are bringing the Earth closer to oblivion with each passing moment.

Huge tsunamis push aside everything in their paths.
Massive explosions shake the ocean floor.
Galactor's Black Hole Operation proceeds steadily on course.
The Gatchaman team hunts down Katse,
while the Earth inches ever closer to destruction.
Leader X flees far into outer space.
What could be the true identity of Leader X?
And what shall be the fate of Earth?
It's the final episode of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Earth's Destruction! 0002" Look forward to it!
