Approximately three years after President X departed for space, the Mantle Project progressed smoothly and Earth regained its peace. Just as the International Science and Technology Agency decided to disband the Science Ninja Team, President X returned and attacked.
00:20The previous work, Gatchaman, was hugely popular, but some of the content was left incomplete at the end, so this work, Gatchaman 2, clears up those issues.
00:36Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:40Gatchaman 2 was produced by Tatsunoko Productions and aired for a total of 52 episodes from 1978 to 1979.
00:55The story begins with the mysterious sinking of a luxury cruise ship due to a meteorite.
01:02After the ship sank, children floating in the ocean were captured, and using special equipment, adult mutants were created after several months.
01:15And as soon as Galactor is resurrected, this mutant is appointed as its commander, Gel Sadra.
01:23At the time, the International Science and Technology Agency was discussing the frequent disappearances of scientists and military personnel.
01:33At that moment, Dr. Nanbu appears and announces that the disappearances have occurred due to the revival of Galactor, and that the Science Ninja Team has been secretly reunited.
01:46Additionally, Hawk Getz of the Earth Defense Force will join as G2, replacing Condor's Castle, who was thought to have died in the previous film, and will investigate ruins believed to be the hideout of a resurrected character.
02:03After arriving at the site, the Science Ninja Team finds themselves in a difficult situation due to the betrayal of Getz, who has been replaced by an enemy spy, and the appearance of Gelsadra.
02:13The members prepared themselves for death, but for some reason the attacking mecha exploded and they discovered that the traitorous Getz had also been defeated.
02:26Feeling puzzled, they proceed inside the hideout and discover a huge character base under construction, so they call in the New God Phoenix and invade the base.
02:39After the invasion, Gelsadra attempted to launch a rocket, so the control room was bombed, destroying both the base and the rocket.
02:49However, the Eagle Sword is caught in an explosion and he loses consciousness, but is rescued by a mysterious person, Dr. Raffel.
02:59In fact, Condor Joe is also rescued and revived by Dr. Raffel, and from episode 4 he returns to the Science Ninja Team and faces off against President X again.
03:16Now, let me introduce the main character.
03:19First up, we'll be introducing Eagle Sword, the sword of Ootori, the leader of the Science Ninja Team.
03:27In this work, he pilots the new G1 unit, Eagle Sharp, and uses a circular bird saucer as a weapon.
03:36Joe the Condor, also known as Georgia Sakura, who was thought to have died in the previous film, has been turned into a cyborg by Dr. Raffel and returns to the Science Ninja Team.
03:51He pilots the new G2 Unit, the Condor Attacker, and like in the previous game, he uses a feather shuriken as a weapon.
03:58John of Shiratori pilots the new G3 unit, Autoswan, and uses the Aurora Ribbon, which can capture and attack by striking.
04:13Jinpei of Subakuro pilots the new G4 model, the Swallow Helicopter, and uses a glove on his right hand and a rebound ball, which is part of the Super Pole set, as his weapons.
04:26Nakanishi Ryu, who will become the Eared Dragon, pilots his first personal mecha, the new G5 unit, the Hound Tank, and uses a gripper made of a slime-like substance to capture and throw opponents.
04:44For detailed information about each member, please refer to the Gatchaman video on this channel.
04:50Another character is Dr. Nanbu, the founder of the Science Ninja Team and head of the Science and Technology Department, who gives instructions to the Science Ninja Team from their new base, G-Town.
05:07And in this film, a key character, Sylvia Pandora, appears.
05:15She is a female scientist who appears as Dr. Nanbu's secretary, but in fact, she lost her husband and her child when she boarded the luxury ship that appeared in the first episode and was shipwrecked.
05:29That child was none other than the commander of the new Galactor, Gel Sadra, and although there is a tearful reunion between father and son in the film, he is killed by President X.
05:42Dr. Raffel is the person who revived the Queen, who died in the previous film, as a cyborg, and it has been revealed that he was deeply involved with President X.
05:57According to President X, he told President X about the existence of Earth and later cooperated in the founding of Galactor, but betrayed him after learning President X's true intentions.
06:10He was supposed to have been assassinated by Berg Katze, but instead he survived and tries to defeat President X and Galactor.
06:22The mecha and equipment used in this game have been significantly redesigned from the previous game.
06:30First, there is the special uniform, the bird style. In this game, a bird style is also available that can be used in space.
06:38The mobile space suit, life support system, and radio are used as a set, and the heavy cloak has been omitted in consideration of space activities.
06:51In addition, all members were provided with a pistol-type laser gun, a sonic gun, as a common weapon.
06:59In addition, the scientific ninja arts and tornado fighters have been changed to a style that causes fear by having the members assemble engines rather than building towers, as in the previous work.
07:12The G-Mecha, which are the personal mecha of each member, have been completely redesigned in this work, and I will start by explaining Unit G1, which is used by Eagle Sword.
07:26The G1 unit, Eagle Sharp, is a small fighter aircraft capable of underwater and space travel, equipped with Eagle missiles and a Vulcan cannon, and its main wings can also be used as cutter wings.
07:41The Condor Attacker, G2, used by the Condor's superiors, is an armored six-wheeled vehicle that can be used on the surface, underwater, in the air, and underground.It is equipped with an unmanned attack aircraft, the Fire Targeter, attached to the top of the vehicle, and Condor missiles are installed throughout the entire vehicle.
08:02The G3 Auto Swan used by Shiratori Jun is a motorcycle with gliding capabilities and is equipped with Swany missiles on both sides.
08:15The G4 Swallow Helicopter used by Jinpei of Subakuro is a special helicopter capable of operating on land, sea, and air. Its wings can be used as boomerangs, and the fuselage is equipped with Swallow missiles.
08:34In the previous film, Ruyu the owl was always at home watching, but in this film she becomes a fully-fledged personal mecha, given a tank capable of underwater navigation, Unit G5, a Hound Tank, and is equipped with large bombs, Hound Bowling, and Hound Missiles.
08:57The newly constructed New God Phoenix houses these G-Mecha.
09:04There are several differences from the previous film. First of all, instead of the owl Ruyu, a pilot machine called Paimer appears to act as both a house sitter and a pilot.
09:18The Science Ninja Team's robots are equipped with computer brains that respond to commands and operate the aircraft, and are stationed in the cockpit. However, their weakness is that they are vulnerable to electronic jamming, and they sometimes react to enemy commands.
09:32Also, in the previous game, the God Phoenix's full functionality could not be used unless all the G-Mecha were collected, but in this game, the New God Phoenix is treated as a mobile base for the Science Ninja Team from the start and is set up as an independent mecha.
09:50The specifications of the New God Phoenix, when equipped with a large space booster, are a maximum total length of 320m, a weight of 11,400t, and a top speed of Mach 5, making its total length more than twice that of the old God Phoenix.
10:10It is equipped with two bird missiles and a machine gun as weapons, and its special move, like the previous game, is the scientific ninja technique, Firebird.
10:21Also, after the mobile base, Crescent Coral Reef, was destroyed in the previous game, a new mobile base, G Town, was constructed. It is a mobile attack base similar to an underwater attack aircraft carrier, and as the New God Phoenix has grown in size, the base has also become significantly larger.
10:42The base contains support facilities, living quarters, and research labs, and its armor is resistant to numerous missile attacks.
10:56The Science Ninja Team's enemy is the revived Galactor.
11:01In the previous film, Sosai X left Earth due to an incident on their home planet, but they returned to Earth and reformed the Galactor with Gelsadra as their commander.
11:14The Galactor Hondo base on Meteorite Mountain is the actual home of Sosai X, and just like in the previous game, he gives orders and has his subordinate, Gelsadra, carry them out.
11:26And Gelsadra, who was created by Sosai X as a mutant or an obedient subordinate, hates Bergkatze from the previous work as incompetent.
11:40It was also true that their hysterical or archaic personalities were very similar.
11:46During the story, while serving Sosai X, he learns an unforgivable truth.
11:51It was because he was a child with abnormal chromosomes that he was separated from his parents during a luxury cruise and forcibly transformed into a mutant.
12:04Later, when he learns that his biological mother, Sylvia Pandora, was also killed by Sosai X, he betrays Sosai X in order to get revenge.
12:15Now, finally, it's the final episode.
12:21The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 51.
12:27They are trying to move the sun and destroy the solar system, including the Earth.
12:32Sosai X was implementing the solar shift plan simultaneously on Earth, Mars and Venus.
12:39The Science Ninja Team tries everything they can to thwart the plan,
12:46However, strange phenomena are beginning to be observed all over the world.
12:52Meanwhile, Condor Joe is in disbelief after Dr. Raffel is murdered.
12:57The cyborg's body is not receiving enough energy.
13:00Staggering, he entered the power facility and placed electrodes on his body.
13:05I was forcing myself to replenish my energy.
13:09At that time, Gelsadra, who had betrayed Sosai X, was on the run.
13:16The flying saucer he was piloting becomes unable to fly and crash-lands on an island, where he meets Ken and Joe.
13:23Regretting his actions that led to his mother's death, he vows to work together with her to defeat Sorto X.
13:29However, Joe, who is prepared to face off against Sosai X,
13:35After knocking Ken unconscious, Gel Sadra and I headed to Meteorite Mountain, where Sault X was located.
13:41Traveling through the blizzard, the two reach a base that resembles a mass of machinery and enter.
13:50However, Gelsadra was injured in the fight with the guards,
13:56Joe enters Sosai X's room alone.
14:01Meanwhile, Ken, who had been unconscious, regains consciousness.
14:05In New God Phoenix, he follows Joe's trail,
14:09Together with the other members, they infiltrate the base.
14:12And when Ken entered Sosai X's room,
14:17There they found the injured Gel Sadra and Joe lying on the ground.
14:22Then, finally, the true form of Sosai X is revealed.
14:27Space brains, or self-aware electronic brains, will emerge.
14:33It has a bulb-like shape with four protrusions.
14:37There were mechanical spheres floating around the area, a strange sight.
14:43Sosai X let out a fearless laugh,
14:47The hostile star system that destroyed their home planet,
14:50Hit the sun like a bomb,
14:53The solar shift plan will soon be activated.
14:57I'll tell the three of them.
14:59At that time, Gelsadra,
15:01Staggering, I pressed the button on the wall,
15:04By opening the floor, the underside of the Sosai X is exposed.
15:09And Gelsadra,
15:13Where the light flashes,
15:15In other words, pointing to weaknesses,
15:18I'm telling you to attack,
15:20Sosai X's beam attack,
15:22It fell under the floor.
15:25By Sosai X
15:27During the attack,
15:28Somehow,
15:29Although he releases a bird saucer,
15:31vice versa,
15:32Beam attack,
15:34I'll fall down.
15:35The floor saw this,
15:39Charge into Sosai X,
15:41The bomb in my body,
15:42I'm trying to activate it,
15:45Sosai X,
15:46An overview of the solar shift plan:
15:48suddenly,
15:49After talking like crazy,
15:52Explosion,
15:53at the same time,
15:54The base was blown to pieces.
15:57Escaped,
15:58The five members are
16:00The sword,
16:01The last bird saucer he released was,
16:04Sosai X's,
16:05It was piercing my heart.
16:07I found it.
16:09At that time,
16:10The dying Gelsadra,
16:11Spread out before your eyes,
16:13Of the beautiful Earth,
16:14By looking at the greenery and flower fields,
16:17Consuming evil deeds,
16:18With the mother of illusion,
16:20He takes his last breath.
16:23The scene changes,
16:24Prevent the solar shift plan,
16:27Relief,
16:28He returns with the Science Ninja Team members.
16:31New God Phoenix.
16:32In addition,
16:33It exploded,
16:35From Sosai X,
16:36In the scene where one fragment glows,
16:39The program ends.
16:44So,
16:45where:
16:46Let's take a look at the Science Ninja Team in action.
