Completion of the Plan to Destroy the Crescent Base

The luxury passenger ship Trian is traveling across the clear Pacific Ocean.

Onboard are many ISO engineers about to engage in the research of undersea resources.

Are any bathing suit beauties going for a swim in the ocean?

Would you like to have a look?

No, even if you do look, all you'll see is the ocean and the sky.

I see. Well, we are smack in the middle of the Pacific after all.

But if some beautiful mermaids should happen to show up, let me know, okay?

Ah, so you like them too.

Go away, you idiot.

All right...

Hello?

What are you doing here?

Oh, you see, I don't know where the bathroom is.

This is the engine room.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

For crying out loud, he's the first passenger to mistake the engine room for the bathroom.

Did it go well?

Yeah, piece of cake. Did it go well?

Yeah, piece of cake.

Yes?

Lord Katse, I set the radio guidance mechanism in the heart of the ship

on the engine in the engine room, exactly according to plan.

Good work. Stand by for your next mission.

Yes, Sir.

Oh, how I've waited for this day!

I think I'll try it out a little first.

Now all I have to do is push a button, and the torpedoes will go to town all on their own.

Go!

Yes, Gatchaman here.

This is Nambu.

There's been an incident. Please assemble the team immediately.

Got it.

Let's go. Ryu, it's me. Come in.

Ryu!

Be quiet, jeez...

Hey, Ryu! Be quiet, jeez...

Be quiet, jeez...

Ryu, wake up! There's been an incident!

What? An incident?

All right... Huh?

Man, I can't even take a nap!

Let's go, Jinpei!

What? Where? Let's go, Jinpei!

What? Where?

This is where the Trian sank.

Including the International Science Organization engineers,

there were 1 ,853 casualties.

1 ,51 7 people died when the British ship Titanic

sank off of Newfoundland, Canada in April of 1912,

but this surpasses even that as the greatest of accidents.

What caused this, Doctor?

Judging from the circumstances,

I'd say it appears to have been hit by extremely powerful torpedoes.

So basically, Galactor did this in order to wipe out the ISO's engineers?

I get it! They say the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg,

but that must have been Galactor's fault too.

Right, Joe?

Right, big brother?

What do you think, Ryu?

Sis?

Galactor's been around forever, right?

Right? Right?

Well, I guess what happened in the past doesn't really matter now.

Galactor's objective isn't clear yet,

but it's possible that there could be another incident or a series of incidents.

I'd like you to patrol the area.

Understood!

What's the matter, Ken?

To be frank, I just can't get into this.

What do you mean?

Big brother, do you feel sick or something?

No, I've had enough of the same thing happening over and over.

Think about it.

No matter how many of Galactor's murderous mecha we risk our lives taking down,

they just make another one right away.

That's how much technology and capital they have!

But if we just leave them alone...

I know.

But this time I just can't get into it somehow.

Then there's nothing to be done. I'll ask the UN to make the patrol.

Ken!

We're moving out! Ken!

We're moving out!

We're moving out! What?!

What?!

We have to go out anyway, don't we?

After all, there's no way I could stand surrendering to Galactor.

We're moving out!

Roger! We're moving out!

Roger!

Man, I was having a really nice nap and I got suddenly woken up. Now I'm sleepy.

Jinpei! The Science Ninja Team is...

I know, I know! Don't finish that sentence.

Seeing you glare at me cleared the sleepiness right up.

Oh! Am I that pretty?

Ken, we're almost at the place where the Trian sank.

All right, take us underwater.

Got it!

It's the wreckage of the Trian.

They sure do some awful things.

Damn those Galactor scum! How dare they do this to innocent people?!

We've caught a big fish here.

Lord Katse, the God Phoenix has waltzed right in here!

I see, so they showed up just as we suspected.

I was sure they would arrive at the scene,

but I didn't think they'd take the bait so quickly.

All right, follow the plan! Begin diversionary tactics!

Yes, Sir! I will make sure the plan succeeds no matter what!

Ken, the radar has picked up something strange.

What? Okay, kill the engine.

It's crab-shaped tanks.

I'll blow them to pieces!

Hold on. Let's keep an eye on them for a little longer.

There are so many of them!

They're trying to blind us!

I can't take it anymore!

The diversionary tactic was a success. Kill the engine!

Take that! They're running away!

If you want to pay us back, come right over and try it!

Ryu, follow them! We'll take down every last one of them!

No, wait.

We'd better make a report to Dr. Nambu first.

What? Crab-shaped tanks?

Yes, but then we fired a Super Bird Missile and they fled right away.

What should we do? Should we follow them? Or...

No, wait.

It's dangerous to pursue them too far.

We don't know what kind of trap is waiting for us.

You should probably cut your patrol short and head home for the day.

Understood. Ryu, take us back to base.

Okay!

Keep on just like that! This is Galactor's last chance!

This time, it will be ours!

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I hope peace like this comes to the surface world soon too.

Naw, it may look peaceful,

but eat-or-be-eaten battles are going on where you can't see them.

Oh, Jinpei, you have no sense of romance.

Sis, look!

It's suckerfish. They're looking good!

I think I want to be a suckerfish in my next life.

You get to go all kinds of places without having to move.

Unaware that a special midget submarine that Galactor had created to act like a suckerfish

was attached to their God Phoenix,

the Science Ninja Team went straight back to the Crescent Coral Reef.

That's it!

That's the real Crescent Base!

All right, this time let's do a good job of it.

Okay!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah! Let's do it!

Let's do it!

It's the Crescent Coral Reef!

All right, we've done it!

This time... This time, I'm going to destroy you with these hands no matter what!

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman Gatchaman

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

All right, you stay here by yourself and stand by.

Okay, be careful.

All right, we have to find the engine room right away and set this in it.

Let's go!

Okay, this should do it.

Now I just have to copy this and send it to Dr. Nambu.

Don't move! Put your hands in the air!

Who are you?!

Galactor!

I told you not to press that!

Please spare me!

Take off your clothes! Be quick about it! Please spare me!

Take off your clothes! Be quick about it!

Scientist clothes aren't too bad.

We look better in these.

Now I look like a scientist for sure, don't I?

Well now, nice to see you, Dr. Galactor!

What's with these things?! He's one nearsighted bastard!

I now have the results of our investigation of the Trian.

According to our data, it appears that a radio guidance mechanism

was placed somewhere inside the ship.

That must mean a Galactor spy infiltrated the ship, right?

Yes, I suspect they fired missiles locked onto that guidance device.

Which means that somewhere in the vicinity of the Trian

there should be a submarine or something of the sort,

which is what fired the missiles.

But, Doctor,

when we were patrolling, there wasn't anything but crab-shaped tanks.

It was probably hiding in some seaweed or behind a rock.

More importantly,

what bothers me is that we don't yet know what Galactor's objective here is.

Come to think of it, the crab-shaped tanks that attacked us

retreated unexpectedly easily.

That's right.

Usually, they're pretty darn persistent in their attacks.

Those Galactor bastards were probably panicking

because things didn't go like they planned.

I hope that's the case, but...

Dr. Nambu, it's an emergency!

Somebody has overpowered the engineers!

What?!

Search the inside of the base! Do it quickly!

Yes, Sir!

It's Galactor. When did they get to us?

We have to look for them!

Wait!

Galactor was after the Crescent Base all along.

Which means it's possible

that a radio guidance mechanism has been planted here, just like it was on the Trian.

It hasn't been planted yet!

But, Doctor, considering their scientific powers,

I'd bet that they've developed a special guidance mechanism

that can't be detected by our equipment.

That's right,

after all they're installing it here in the Crescent Coral Reef,

and we have the most cutting-edge science and technology around.

That's a distinct possibility.

So... This is really bad!

What's going to happen to us, Doctor?

There's only one way.

Ken and Jun, you stay here and find Galactor and the guidance mechanism.

The rest of you take the God Phoenix

and track down the submarine that fires the torpedoes.

Now!

Roger!

We must protect this Crescent Base at any cost.

We have to find it no matter what!

If we don't hurry, the Crescent Base will be blown to bits!

I'll never let that happen, dammit!

The Crescent Coral Reef is a giant mobile base floating in the vast ocean.

And there are always top ISO engineers stationed here,

carrying out their duties.

It's an incredibly large base, and moreover its layout is complex.

Tracking down the Galactor operatives who have infiltrated it

and the guidance mechanism they've planted is a nearly impossible task.

This is the place.

Who are you people?!

All right, this should work.

No matter how many times I do this, it just never gets old for me.

I feel the thrill zing through my whole body.

We did it!

No matter how hard they look, they'll never find it here.

Let's not stick around too long. We'll report to Lord Katse and make our escape!

I just know we're going to be promoted for this!

Wait!

It's a patrol camera.

All right, this way!

Did you see anything down that way?

There's nothing out of the ordinary over here!

I see. They must be somewhere in this base.

Please contact us if anything happens.

What's wrong?

They're Galactor!

Jun, get around in front of them!

Roger!

Oh no!

Too bad, Galactor agents, you won't be able to escape this way now.

We were so close! Damn that Gatchaman scum!

Shoot him!

Bird Run!

Bastard!

He's gone!

Here I am.

I'm gonna punch you!

Idiot!

Sorry! Idiot!

Sorry!

Where do you think you're going?

Shut up! Women should stick to the cleaning and cooking!

I am cleaning up some garbage, you Galactor guys.

Die!

Give up, we know all about your plan.

Now, how about you tell me where you planted the radio guidance device?

Come on, tell me! If you don't ...

I'll send you to your graves with this!

What's the matter, Gatchaman?

You're looking pretty pale for someone who sounds so gutsy!

Well, that's only natural.

After all, in just a few minutes this place will be smithereens!

Watch out!

Damn, they got away!

Jun, contact Dr. Nambu, quickly!

Okay!

Do they think they can escape?

They must be done.

It was a success! Contact Lord Katse!

Okay!

Lord Katse, we were successful.

What, you were successful?

I see! Good work! Get out of there right away!

All right, submerge!

First put your hands in the air.

What?

If you move even the slightest bit,

these bazookas will blow you away along with your whole submarine!

Now, tell me where you planted the guidance mechanism!

Dammit! We almost got away!

What happened?

Sir, they've surrounded us. We can't escape!

Don't worry, don't worry.

There's no need to look so pale.

I thought this might happen, so I prepared a little something.

Now, press that red button.

Something should happen that will stun them for a moment.

Use that opportunity to escape!

Yes, Sir!

It must be this one.

That's Lord Katse for you.

He's far better at anticipating the future than we are.

Push it, fast!

All right...

Oh no!

The God Phoenix is our only hope now.

Dammit, the radar isn't showing anything.

They must have their engine off.

Ryu, are you getting anything?

We're in trouble. I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Cover more ground!

The great Katse will not be found so easily!

Well, have all the fun you can looking for me.

While the God Phoenix is away,

I'm going to blow the Crescent Coral Reef to smithereens!

You lovely torpedoes who will grant me the wish I've had for many years.

Do your worst!

I've done it! I've finally done it!

Well, Jun? Have you found it?

It's no good.

Ken, it's impossible to find one little device in this huge base.

Look for it!

If we dawdle, this base will be blown to smithereens!

We don't have time to whine!

Doctor, we've got a problem!

What is it?

Our radar has picked up what appear to be torpedoes!

What?!

They're headed this way. Doctor, let's move the base!

Your orders, Sir!

It's too late.

Berg Katse's tenacity brought the Crescent Coral Reef within his reach once again.

What will become of Nambu and the Science Ninja Team?

Danger grows closer to the Crescent Coral Reef with each passing second.

Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh

Roaring engines, ninja of science

A swarm of torpedoes charges headlong at the Crescent Base.

As explosion after explosion occurs inside the base,

it fills rapidly with fire and large amounts of seawater.

Gatchaman and the others are unable to do anything.

And as all of this is going on, Dr. Nambu is trapped beneath a computer.

The Crescent Base begins to sink into the ocean from the force of Galactor's fierce attacks,

and is in danger of capsizing.

Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: �The End of the Crescent Base� Look forward to it!
