The Bracelets Exposed

From exhaustive research on Jun's shoe which had fallen into their hands,

Galactor has finally discovered the basis behind the Science Ninja Team's transformations.

As a result, a fearsome mecha named Megaziner

which returns the Gatchaman team from Birdstyle to their normal appearances

was invented by the Galactor scientist Dr. Misuno.

Oh, so it's finally completed? I've been eagerly awaiting this moment.

Yes, Sir. I never imagined it would be finished so quickly either.

Now, Dr. Misuno, hurry up and show him the device.

Yes, Sir. Then without further ado...

Stop putting on airs and get on with it!

So a thing like that can make Gatchaman and the others turn back into their normal selves?

This is some childish trick, isn't it?

I believe that all of them transform

with the same super high frequency wave of 3600 full megahertz.

Katse, do you understand this?

Yes, Sir, I understand the gist of it, but I'm fuzzy on the details.

And therefore, if we to put out that same super high frequency wave of 3600 full megahertz,

but shift the start time,

their transformation should come undone.

However, if you use it repeatedly too many times,

you'll use too much energy, and it could blow up at any moment.

Katse, to shoulder responsibility for your constant failures,

you shall operate this Megaziner yourself.

What? You want me to use this mecha that could blow up at any time?

Correct! This is the least you'll do if you want to regain my trust!

Yes, Sir!

That's the way, Joe! Keep it up!

Be careful not to spin out!

You be careful too.

Joe's sure into it today.

Well, that's no surprise. This is his first race in a while.

I've got the top spot now.

Hey, Joe, we've got an emergency summons from Dr. Nambu.

What?! Why now?

Drop out of the race and hurry back to the base.

All right! Go on ahead, I'll be right behind you.

No. Dr. Nambu's orders are absolute.

I know, but come on, don't be so strict. I'm almost at the finish.

Yeah, big brother, he can be just a little late, can't he?

Jinpei, do you want to mess up our teamwork? We need to obey orders.

That's right! It's just like Ken said. Let's go.

Hey, Joe, don't blame me if you get yelled at by Dr. Nambu.

He's probably just going to tell us that Galactor's shown up again.

It's nothing to panic so much about.

The first car has crossed the finish line!

First place goes to the number 2 car: Joe the Condor,

with a time of 2 hours, 16 minutes, 3 seconds.

The rest of the cars are coming in now. The winner is Joe the Condor.

I did it.

Woops, I forgot.

Sorry!

Since I'm running late, I guess I should transform now.

Bird Go!

When one of the Ninja Team changes into Birdstyle,

there is a sudden burst of super high frequency waves at 3600 full megahertz.

Galactor picks up on that moment with Dr. Misuno's detection machine.

All right! We got one of the Ninja Team.

Activate the Megaziner immediately, and follow him with the radar!

Yes, Sir!

You're in for a shock, you Science Ninja Team scum!

I've never seen those cars before.

I've spotted the one from the Science Ninja Team, Sir.

Good! Don't let him get away!

Test out the awesome power of the Megaziner!

Yes, Sir, right away.

Galactor scum!

Oh no!

Come on out, Ninja Team member!

Your Birdstyle is ruined now!

Sorry, but I'm over here!

What do you think you're doing with that weird machine?

Shut up!

Kill him!

Dammit, stay still!

Shoot, I botched it?

You fool! They're as fast as birds!

Take good aim and fire again!

Lord Katse, let's call the test a success for now.

If you fire it any more, it will explode.

We have no choice. Withdraw for now.

Yes, Sir, my apologies.

What's going on?

There's no help for it. I'll give Joe a warning later.

So then, Doctor, is it Galactor again?

Indeed. An underground city which had just been constructed

by the ISO under the Ameris Kingdom's Ebatta Desert has been destroyed by someone.

I'm sure it was Galactor.

After investigating it from different angles,

we believe the underground city was burned down with special napalm bombs.

Special napalm bombs?

Murderous weapons made back during the war to torch the enemy.

Dammit! What are those Galactor scum after?

Maybe it's a trap to lure us out.

A trap?

This is after I let them discover the secret of my shoe.

The timing's too...

But just because they know the secret of our transformations,

that doesn't mean they know who we really are.

No, now that they've found a weakness, Galactor will definitely make use of it.

So then, are you saying they've made a new weapon and are coming after us with it?

No, even if they have found a weakness,

I don't think they will have been able to finish a weapon so fast, but...

No matter what kind of weapon they make, in the end the Birdstyles will count for a lot.

That's how we've always fought.

Even if we know it's an enemy trap, we still must go. That is our duty.

Understood, Doctor.

When we're in Birdstyle, we're invincible. So don't worry about it and let us go.

Right! The destroyed city is emitting strange electromagnetic waves.

We have no idea if they are being sent by survivors or Galactor.

Use the waves to guide you, and act carefully.

Roger!

What happened, Joe?

Why are you late?

I'm sorry, Doctor. I was attacked by Galactor on the way here.

What? Galactor?

Yes, they showed up as soon as I changed into Birdstyle.

How did Galactor find your location, I wonder?

So, where is everyone else?

They just deployed to fight Galactor!

Doctor! That's not good!

If they go now, they'll be playing right into Galactor's hands!

If they get hit by Galactor's weird electromagnetic waves,

they'll change out of Birdstyle!

They will?!

During the day, the Ebatta Desert reaches temperatures close to 60 degrees Celsius,

and the temperature abruptly drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius at night.

This makes it an unsuitable habitat for humans to live in.

However, the ISO built an underground city here due to concerns over worldwide overpopulation.

Now it has been cruelly destroyed by Galactor.

This is definitely horrible.

Everyone was instantly turned to dust.

Those Galactor bastards!

From the look of things, I don't think anyone survived.

What a mess.

This city's so huge, we can't tell where the waves are coming from, big brother.

Don't be silly Jinpei, we can tell where they're coming from without searching the entire city.

There's only a certain number of places where they can use electromagnetic waves.

If we put a radar device in our bracelets, we should get a response at close range.

Leave it to you, Sis!

This is pretty handy.

Okay, everybody split up and search.

Roger!

Here I go!

Gatchaman, come in! This is Nambu!

It's no use. He's probably using his bracelet as a locator.

I can't get through.

Wait, Joe!

It can't be avoided. I guess I'll have to ask for help from my aces in the hole.

Please be safe, guys.

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Gatchaman

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

You're...

I'm from the Science Ninja Team. Rest assured, Ma'am, I've come to save you.

You're one of the Science Ninja Team?

Thank you...

It's okay now. Are you the only survivor?

Yes, everyone else was crushed under the buildings,

including my dad and mom, and my husband...

This child too!

Please, wait!

Where are you going?

Please don't grieve any more.

We're going to destroy Galactor, you can count on that.

Oh, so you're saying you can avenge them?

Berg Katse!

You completely fell for it! Get him!

You sure stoop to cowardly methods, Berg Katse!

No hard feelings, Gatchaman.

I just thought I'd invite you one by one to see an interesting experiment.

Do it!

Bird Run!

Out of the way!

Jump, Gatchaman!

Got him!

This van seems suspicious.

All right, let's check it out.

Sis!

Lord Katse, we've captured the rest of the Science Ninja Team.

Good, bring them here right away.

Hey! Can't you find Gatchaman yet?

No, Sir. I'm sure he fell somewhere around here, but...

Then stop gabbing and find him, now!

Gatchaman you scum, there's no use trying to run.

Now that you don't have Birdstyle, I'll soon be sending you to the next world!

The same place I sent your father!

Gatchaman! Gatchaman!

A Red lmpulse member!

So you're awake.

How did you guys save me?

We've taken up where our late captain left off,

and have been tracking Galactor's movements.

Let me introduce us. I'm Masaki. And that guy over there is Oniishi.

Nice to meet you.

I see... I'd forgotten all about you two after my dad died.

We happened to get a request from Dr. Nambu to came to save you,

so here we are.

What? The Doctor? Then he found out about Galactor's new mecha and...

I get it...

Dr. Nambu, this is Gatchaman.

Oh, Ken? I'm glad you're all right. I've been worried.

Yes, but Doctor, how did you know what was going on?

I heard from Joe.

There's no doubt that Galactor

has used Jun's shoe to figure out the secret of the Birdstyles,

and has made a machine to break through them.

I see, so then those strange electromagnetic waves were...

Wait, this means Jun and the others are in danger too!

They must have analyzed Jun's shoe

to determine the frequency you use to transform.

But they shouldn't know that you shout " Bird Go!"

in order to transform, and then go back to normal.

So is there any way to defend ourselves?

It's certainly not impossible.

Their mecha no doubt emits the same high frequency wave as your transformation,

but with the timing stunted.

But when it does, it puts out an enormous amount of power.

Therefore, if they use it too much, more than once or twice,

it will probably reach the red zone and the transmitter mecha itself will explode.

I see. So that's their weakness.

Correct. It's extremely dangerous,

but I want you to work with the Red lmpulse Squad

and find a way to pulverize that mecha.

Understood, Doctor.

You can count on me to succeed.

Hey, Ken, are you all right?

No problem, this is nothing.

You hurt your leg, so Oniishi over there treated it.

Thank you.

Galactor punctured his throat a long time ago, so he can't talk.

Ever since then, as a member of Red lmpulse,

he's devoted his life to defeating Galactor.

Now, let's hurry. The rest of the Science Ninja Team is in danger too.

First, to reveal the true identities of these three Ninja Team members.

Aim!

Yes, Sir!

Ladies first!

What's wrong? Hurry up and fire already!

Berg Katse! I came to thank you for before!

It's about time, Joe!

How dare you interfere?! Fire!

Out of the way!

All right, I'm gonna get a shot in too.

Stop! That mecha will take you out of Birdstyle. Run away!

Really?

You're kidding me.

Joe, watch out!

Watch out!

Damn, they're fast.

Poor little birdies, I'm going to strip you all of your feathers.

Who's that? Who dares interfere?

Red lmpulse? You're alive?

Fire! Fire!

Bird Go!

What in the world?

So Ken's okay.

He's so awesome.

Gatchaman, you scum! Fire! Fire!

Bird Run!

Damn, impudent Gatchaman!

Hurry up and jump, Gatchaman!

We can't let Ken handle this all by himself.

We'll all back him up, got it?

Roger!

Jump, you Ninja Team scum! I'll hit you all at once!

Let's go! Science Ninja Technique: Random Flight!

This is really making me mad!

Lord Berg Katse, it is dangerous to fire any more! Please stop!

Shut up! One more shot and they'll be finished!

It's going to explode!

At least save the Megaziner's engine, please!

Damn!

We did it!

Serves him right. We did it!

Serves him right.

He dug his own grave.

He got what he deserved.

Katse got away.

Hey, Ken, let's go after him!

No, wait.

Let's leave the rest to the Red lmpulse Squad for now.

They'll find out the location of Galactor's base.

We have a different mission to take care of. Withdraw!

Here, Ken, keep it. I think it looks good on you.

Holding a memento of the father he couldn't forget even if he tried,

Ken realized that the Science Ninja Team weren't the only ones fighting against Galactor.

Gatchaman and the others couldn't hide how happy they were

that they could once again fight in Birdstyle.

Fight, until you crush Galactor's ambitions!

Gatchaman and the others are given a mission to guard the president of the country of Dokoaru.

However, that place has already fallen into the hands of Galactor,

and a ninja squad calld the Black Birds

has set a cruel trap for Gatchaman and the others beyond their imagining.

The Gatchaman team is in a desperate situation!

And Berg Katse accomplishes something great for the first time.

Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "Berg Katse Triumphs" Look forward to it!
