This is G-2. Ken, can you hear me?
What is it, Joe? This line is for emergencies only.
How long do we have to be on standby?
If we wait too long, Galactor...
Until The Red lmpulse have completed the first phase of the attack...
we are not to make a move.
This is not what this line is for. I'm signing off.
Ken! Hey, Ken!
What does Galactor want with me?
You recognized us as Galactor...
So you must be a member of the Science Ninja Team!
We intercepted transmissions between members of the Ninja Team...
somewhere in this area!
We were told to kill anyone who seemed suspicious!
You cannot escape, Science Ninja!
We have you completely surrounded!
This is 0021. 0304, do you read me?
0304 please respond!
Where is the Science Ninja?
He got away.
I'm the only survivor.
All right. Get in.
We're heading back to Kloskaracomb.
Once the "Earth Revival Project" commences...
Gatchaman will no longer be a problem.
What are these objects?
According to the U.N. Spy network, Galactor placed these objects...
in 4 separate locations.
Our sensors cannot penetrate them.
We know nothing about the interior components...
of these huge mechanical objects.
When we tried to approach them, we were fired upon...
by Galactor fighter ships.
What on earth are these things for?
All the citizens who lived in these areas...
have become refugees.
They have been dispersed to neighboring areas...
but capacity levels are being exceeded everywhere.
It's a pandemic of global proportions.
It's only a matter of days before the world plunges...
into a state of complete chaos.
According to our military intelligence reports...
over the last few months the nation of Hontworl and its allies...
have been arming itself at twice our pace.
It's feared that Galactor would use its arsenal of nuclear weapons...
if this escalates into a worldwide confrontation.
If that should happen, it could mean the end of the world.
How defenseless we are.
We can do nothing but sit here and watch.
Secretary General...
we are doing much more than just sitting here.
At this very moment, the Red lmpulse is conducting...
an investigation into the location of Galactor's hidden fortress.
A waste of time.
Put an end to your useless games, Dr. Nanbu.
Commander Braddock!
It's been a long time. Hasn't it, Dr. Nanbu?
You!
Yes. I am the great commander of Galactor.
The leader of the new world order...
Verk Katse.
Damn you!
I would think twice before doing anything rash.
If you try to come after me, Commander Braddock will die.
Nanbu, those impudent little rats from Red lmpulse...
that you sent to spy on us have all been eliminated.
We will soon find the rest of your little rats, your Ninja team...
and exterminate them as well.
You have no choice but to bow down and surrender...
to the great and mighty Galactor!
Dr. Nanbu, I assume you know by now what our machines are.
I don't know. Please explain it to me.
It all started three million years ago...
When the great Master X came to Earth.
It was then, that the battle between us...
and those who would destroy us first began.
Now it is time to finally settle this issue.
Do you understand, Dr. Nanbu?
Now is the time.
It has been prophesied in all of the ancient texts of the world.
The time of Earth's armageddon is fast approaching.
Armageddon?
The regeneration systems have been deposited...
at four points on the Earth where the energy flow...
can easily be controlled.
When this system becomes fully operational...
the laws of physics will be at our command...
as will every natural phenomenon on the face of the planet.
We will manipulate air currents to create hurricanes and tornadoes.
We will change the currents of oceans...
and generate tidal waves.
We can cause enormous earthquakes...
and shake the Earth to reshape the very continents!
Unbelievable!
These are the powers of gods!
If you surrender to Galactor and become our willing subjects...
we will grant the world's population a chance to survive.
However, if you have not surrendered within 24 hours...
we will initiate our plans...
by creating violent earthquakes that will reshape the face of the planet.
According to our projections...
only a quarter of the world's population will survive this upheaval.
As a display of our power...
we will now transform Tangier City into a mountain of rubble.
Feast your eyes upon this!
The entire history of the human race will be obliterated!
Know the stupidity of believing yourselves to be masters of creation!
Surrender to us in fear, as the monkeys feared fire...
and scurried about in panicked puzzlement!
We are your rightful masters and rulers!
Your knowledge and power are insignificant.
Witness as your civilization disintegrates into nothingness.
Our absolute conquest now begins and you can do nothing but watch.
Those who remain unwilling to submit, will be subject to our wrath...
and will meet the same fate as this burning city.
We will never surrender!
In our hearts, we still have hope.
What "hope" is that?
Five young people, who possess unlimited potential...
The Science Ninja Team...
Gatchaman!
Bird! Go!
Galactor's fighters are approaching.
It's a massive formation.
Stupid Joe...
Why is he missing at a time like this?
Do you think he went to Galactor's base all by himself?
We don't have time to discuss such things.
We'll just have to fight twice as hard to make up for Joe's absence.
The Science Ninja are quite brave to be coming after us.
But the second they show themselves, they will die.
All ships open fire on the Godphoenix!
What are you doing?
Can't you defeat a single enemy?
All ships, close ranks for attack formation!
They've combined!
O.K. We'll execute our own maneuvers.
Damn Galactor, I won't let your evil continue!
The Science Ninja Team is on the run!
They're frightened of my Devil Snake!
All right. All guns fire!
I got them!
Launch the auxiliary craft. Have them search every inch of sea bottom!
Lord Katse wants to make sure that Gatchaman is totally eliminated!
What was that?
Commander! We've located the Godphoenix!
What?
It appears to have been seriously damaged...
and is lying crippled on the sea floor.
We have it under surveillance.
Good. Let's finish this.
All ships, fire torpedoes!
Look! That is the end of the Science Ninja Team!
Lord Katse, I am pleased to announce that we've put an end to Gatchaman.
Well done. Master X will be pleased, as well.
Return to Kloskaracomb at once.
The system will be activated in 20 hours.
You will perish, if you are not back in time.
Yes. Recall all auxiliary craft.
Verk Katse...
at long last, the hour of Galactor's triumph is at hand!
Honorable Master X...
all our plans are proceeding according to your will.
The Gatchaman have already been exterminated.
All of mankind will kneel before us...
and soon, I will rule the planet!
Already, three million years have past since I set foot upon this planet.
Back then, there was no civilization.
Only lowly animals wandering the planet.
So I sowed the seeds.
And the seeds took root and flourished.
The time of harvest has finally arrived.
I have traversed the universe.
Three million years is no more then a moment in time.
Verk Katse, the time has come to tell the world...
to let them know who their creator is.
Only those who submit will be allowed to survive.
Those who oppose, shall perish.
Then, you will reign supreme...
over the new world created by our regeneration system!
Master X, it is with the deepest gratitude that I accept.
At last, the world will be mine.
It looks like it's over, Dr. Nanbu.
We've just received reports that Verk Katse...
has killed the Science Ninja Team.
That is just fine.
What did you say?
Everything is going exactly as planned.
We've named this strategy, "The Phoenix Maneuver."
The Phoenix Maneuver?
We have 18 hours left before time runs out.
But what has happened to the members of Gatchaman?
We must be patient. Wait and see.
Just trust in their ability.
Good. Phase one of the Phoenix Maneuver is complete.
The fate of the world depends on the success of this operation.
If Dr. Nanbu's predictions are correct...
this machine should be heading back to the Galactor base.
We must infiltrate their base and stop the "regeneration system."
I need everyone to do their best in Joe's absence.
There are only 16 hours left until the destruction of Earth.
We're in the Himalayan Mountains.
Is this where Galactor's headquarters is located?
I can't see anything that resembles a base.
Approaching aircraft...
Radio the code signal before entering airspace.
Roger. I'm sending the code now.
Code accepted. Welcome to Kloskaracomb.
Enter through gate 13.
Roger.
This is Galactor's headquarters?
Regeneration system is now up to 50 percent power capacity.
Energy charge reaching 75 percent.
Any news of trouble at the control points?
All goes well.
No movement from the U.N. Forces.
It seems they finally understand it is futile to oppose us.
It's only a matter time before Nanbu comes begging to surrender.
Good. Everyone prepare to board the ark.
We will travel to a new world in the ark of the great Galactor!
All Galactor personnel...
prepare to board the ark.
Repeat: All Galactor personnel prepare to board the ark.
Do they plan to escape in that thing when the planet is destroyed?
This is G-2 calling. This is G-2 calling.
Shit... no good.
What are you doing over there?
Looks like we still have a few rats on board.
Verk Katse!
That was quite a feat, infiltrating Kloskaracomb airspace.
But please, keep calling your friends. No one will answer.
Red lmpulse and the Science Ninja Team are all dead.
Still, even a fool like you wouldn't invade Kloskaracomb all by yourself.
Tell me where your accomplices are and I will spare your life.
Sorry to disappoint you...
but there's no one but me.
I'm alone.
And if I'm to die, I will take as many of you as I can with me.
Kill him.
Don't move Verk Katse.
Do you think a rat like you can give me orders?
I will have my revenge on you...
you killed my parents!
What are you aiming at?
I'm right here. Come on, try again.
Damn it!
Those needles are filled with a strong paralysis poison.
An ordinary man would have passed out already.
What an impressive stamina you possess. How long can you hold out?
Bastard!
Bird! Go!
I knew you were no ordinary rat.
But I would have never guessed you were a member of the Science Ninja Team.
And because you are a Science Ninja, you must be made to suffer.
Kloskaracomb is now in sight.
Send the code!
Our code has been rejected!
What? That's impossible!
Wait.
Lord Katse! What is the meaning of this?
Remnants of the Science Ninja Team have infiltrated Kloskaracomb.
That's impossible!
I killed them all!
They may have infiltrated the Devil Snake.
Conduct an immediate search.
Yes sir!
We've stopped.
Do you think they know we're here?
Damn!
It's useless to hide!
We know you're here.
What are you going to do to me?
Young lives should not be endangered.
Even young ninja.
Red lmpulse.
The Godphoenix is approaching.
Are Ken and the others alright?
Yes, for now.
But if we don't destroy the camouflage system...
they won't be able to enter Kloskaracomb.
As of now, they'll die right in front of Galactor headquarters.
Just open fire!
Wait, cease fire.
The fact that you have sneaked onto the Devil Snake shows your audacity.
I wish to have some fun.
Now, let me exterminate you!
Show yourselves!
Gatchaman!
You can't still be alive!
To destroy the mad ambitions of Galactor...
I would rise from the depths of hell itself!
Here's your bracelet.
I have repaired its transmitter as well.
Call the rest of the Gatchaman team...
and get to the Regeneration Control Room.
As soon as I destroy the camouflage cover...
your call signal will be able to reach the outside.
We will then execute the final phase of the Phoenix Maneuver.
Stay back men.
I want to deliver the Gatchaman's head to Lord Katse personally.
Don't move!
One false move and I'll kill the commander.
Now take us to your headquarters, quickly!
That won't happen.
As long as you're on board, the base computer will not let us in.
Shoot men! Kill me along with the Gatchaman!
That's an order!
Hey sis, don't you think you overdid it a bit?
Your friends are still alive too?
Here's a present for you commander.
What? What's this?
Damn Gatchaman!
You fool.
You've been tricked by the Science Ninja!
You've even led them to our headquarters!
Forgive me Lord.
Apologize to Master X with your death...
and take those Science Ninja with you!
Do not allow the Science Ninja to come any closer to Kloskaracomb!
Without their Godphoenix they should be no problem at all!
Use the hyper-laser to scorch every square inch of these mountains!
That's the end of Gatchaman!
What was that?
What's that?
The Godphoenix!
To defeat you, we would rise from the dead as many times as it takes!
The other Godphoenix was a fake!
They're coming at us!
Ryu, Godphoenix to full power!
Prepare for Science Ninja Technique, "Phoenix Transformation"!
Roger!
You look just like your mother.
Goodbye, Ken.
What's that?
Is that really Galactor's Headquarters?
My bracelet!
Mine too.
It's Joe. The signal is coming from inside Galactor's base.
He's guiding us to the system control room!
That damn Joe.
Ryu, take us toward Galactor's Base.
The camouflage system is down!
Godphoenix is approaching.
Blast the Godphoenix out of the sky!
Don't let it come any closer.
We're going in!
Prepare for impact!
Get ready for a rough landing!
Gatchaman has penetrated area three!
It looks like they're headed for the system control room!
I will stay here alone.
Everyone else, go and kill Gatchaman!
Joe!
You all took your time getting here.
I got so bored I decided to put on a little show of my own.
There are heavy penalties for flying out of formation, Joe.
If we make it out alive...
I'll accept any punishment you give me.
Right now, Ken, I have something to give to you.
Preparations complete for maximum output of Regeneration System.
At last, my time has finally come.
Activate the Regeneration System!
Regeneration System: Increasing output.
Be pleased, Master!
Galactor is victorious!
Verk Katse!
Finally, we meet face to face. You're not getting away this time!
What do you hope to accomplish, Gatchaman?
Everything has already ended.
What?
The Regeneration System has already been activated.
We will wipe the civilization you humans have created...
off the face of the planet forever!
The Earth will return to it's prehistoric state.
Slowly the Earth will replenish itself...
until the day when Galactor will create a new civilization in our own image!
We have been in preparation for this since before the dawn of mankind!
You are powerless to stop us!
You will not escape!
Shit!
You lowly peasant.
You have the audacity to remove my sacred mask with your filthy hands.
Your crime is worth 10,000 deaths!
Jun! Jinpei!
Now do you understand my strength, Gatchaman?
Bird!
Do you think such childish tricks will work on one such as I?
Die, Gatchaman!
Please give this to my son.
Goodbye, Ken!
Father!
Verk Katse!
Now the great history of Galactor will end as well.
If Galactor dies...
every civilization on Earth will die with it.
Because Galactor is the root of all civilization!
All of you were nothing more...
than puppets dancing to the tune we played.
It doesn't matter.
I have lived long enough.
Even if human civilization had another million years of life...
without us, it would be meaningless.
So join me and together we will watch the final hour of mankind!
Master X!
Now it is time for your finaljudgement!
Members of the Science Ninja Team, the end of the world is fast approaching.
Unfortunately, Galactor's Regeneration System is still functioning.
Only you can end its operation.
The only way left to stop it...
is to strike at the very core of Galactor.
The core of Galactor?
This is the object that fell to Earth three million years ago...
and has manipulated our lives from the darkness.
I have been waiting for the moment that it would show itself.
I am authorizing the use of the Super Bird Missile!
There is only one missile, so you must make it count!
I am counting on you, Science Ninja Team!
Joe, Super Bird Missile... Fire!
Go to Hell!
"Jun"
"Jinpei"
"Ryu"
"Friends... thank you"
