Gatchaman (ガッチャマン)

You know, if the Chosen Ones are infected with Virus X,

they'll become Galactors.

Don't worry.

As long as the Stones are shining, they'll still

protect us even though they've been infected.

But what if the light of the Stones fades?

Until then...

Year 2015 Eastern Europe

21st Century

Strange monsters appeared everywhere.

Large-scale war began to spread throughout the world.

A red light armor that could defend all attacks,

it didn't work in any of mankind's counterstrikes.

The 17th day after the war started.

Half of the world had been subdued by unknown forces.

These new conquerors called themselves Galactors.

Many people were killed.

The world was filled with grief and agony.

Many children had lost their parents and siblings were separated.

Humanity is only allowed to live in certain regions.

They were waiting for extinction.

And they put their last hope on one thing.

Ken! Run!

Ken!

Hand over the Stone!

Ken!

Are you awake, the Chosen One?

This incredible crystal known as "Stone"

possessed the power to create the superhero ninja agents.

We called them

Gatchaman.

13 Years Later, Tokyo.

19th, Galactors have appeared in North Sanriku

connecting with North Kitakyushu. ln addition,

this month's unempolyment rate is 29.3%.

Increasing by 2.5% compared to last month.

Overseas migration exceeded 9 million people.

Sis!

l can buy with my salary. Don't worry.

No.

Why you need so many clothes for your mission?

Since it's an undercover mission,

of course l need more clothes.

What do you mean?

lt's about human observation and intelligence gathering...

Hey! You can't tell anyone about...

the Ministry of Home Affairs' main objective!

Why not?

You can't tell anyone.

You're doing something you shouldn't be doing as well.

lt's confidential. lf using proper channels...

That'll be too complicated, so we're sneaking in.

Hey, let's steal the recipes of that 3-star restaurant, what do you say?

You're so low. Just forget about it!

Don't worry. I'll see again very soon.

Yes. Bye.

Oh, yes. Mom, you should listen to your doctor's advice.

Take your medicine regularly and you'll recover soon.

Yes.

Thank you.

Mission completed.

The day has finally come.

Our enemy is the lSO conference. (lSO: lnternational Science Organization)

Scientists, the governments, endophytes and plutocrats...

from all over the world are our targets.

Combat Code, "Last Suicide"

The "Last...

Suicide".

Though this is your first time in combat

it will also be your last as well.

Understood.

What's that?

Galactors have shown up. A strange weapon is

approaching Nishi-Shinjuku's defensive line.

Attention everyone!

We repeat!

lt's the Galactors...

Hurry!

Jinpei! Dodge!

Fire!

Suprisingly, Galactor and human DNA are 99% identical.

lSO Tokyo branch.

The 1 % difference is Virus X.

The destruction of human civilization, the

thing that claimed countless lives...

With horrifying power, this is...

Virus X.

Western calendar, Year 1718.

We've uncovered 28 unknown crystals

from ancient ruins in central Africa.

They called them "Stone".

Red alert.

The Galactors are approaching.

Expected target Command Central.

Please move to the evacuation zones immediately.

Please be quiet, everyone.

Don't worry.

We've made plans in the event of an attack.

The light emitted from the Stone

is generally known as G-particles.

lt can defeat the armoured Galactor drones,

detroy Virus X, and suppress their weapon capabilities.

Look up, can you see

me, the White Ghost?

If we touch it, it's just a stone.

But if lSO agents touch it, it becomes a beacon of hope.

We gather together the Chosen Ones,

provide them with training,

and turn them into powerful weapons against the Galactors.

Ken Washio.

Jinpei Ohtsuki.

G-Force Science Ninja Team!

Don't be so cocky.

Ryu Nakanishi.

Jun Ohtsuki.

l was going to take care of both...

Something bigger is waiting for us.

Yes.

The enemy's weapon is heading East along Yasukuni Highway at 40km/h.

Estimated to arrive at lSO HQ in 7:20 minutes.

Massive fire is ripping Shinjuku! Neutron weapons are requested!

This is HQ! Neutron weapons are prohibited!

G-Force will be right there.

This is G-Force! Arriving at destination in 40 seconds.

Understood.

Well, the 3-star recipes, l'm counting on you.

l knew you were going to say that.

This isn't the time to chit-chat!

Target's located in the city center.

Pursuing the target at the coffee shop in Shinjuku-sanchome.

Roger!

ldentical with the registered model 363B in database and evidence.

PCB bombs, huh? Those could take millions of lives...

Forward! And stop it!

Roger!

Roger!

This monster...

Jun!

Understood!

Ryu! Jinpei! They're coming...

Micro bombs.

Enemy's weapons are 2,000 meters away from lSO HQ.

3 minutes until detonation.

Ouch! Are you serious?

Get ready!

That's hot!

Jinpei!

Jinpei, what's wrong?

Jun, don't stop!

You've got 50 seconds until detonation! Disarm the bomb first!

Yes, understood!

Laser!

George Asakura!

Amazing!

Who is he? You know him?

Alright! The last one!

Huh? No way! Why?

30 seconds left.

Jupiter enters the moon's shadow! The Gate is opening!

Hey! What is this all about?!

10 seconds left.

Sis!

Alright!

Well done, Ken!

George!

Who is he? You know him?

Haha! They're brother and sister.

They were asking the same thing.

Huh?

Oh, yes. Ryu, You should use your brain more.

Huh?

So that it'll become like a 21st century computer.

How do you know about us?

I've read the records on you two.

l'm George Asakura, from lSO Europe.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

lSO East Asia Branch.

Jinpei was in danger, thank you for saving her. I hope I can do the same for you one day.

We won't be this lucky every time. The mission is much more important.

You must complete the mission even if l'm in danger.

Yes! Those are the rules, right?

George, he seems like an old friend.

Yeah. We've known each other for 13 years.

We've been together ever since our parents were killed by Galactors.

Same as you, Jinpei.

My parents are still alive.

The enemy has taken them captive.

l see. l'm sorry.

We'll get them out one day.

l want to cook something delicious!

And it was really funny back there.

This gorilla here had fallen flat on his back.

Don't make fun of others! You're gonna pay for it someday!

Sheesh! Gorilla!

Alright! That's enough.

l've heard enough!

At this rate,

both of you will be together when there's a mission, huh?
