List of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman episodes

This article is a list of episodes from the television show Science Ninja Team Gatchaman in order by air date.

A huge turtle-shaped mecha, the "Turtle King", attacks a uranium storage facility. The International Science Organization (ISO) and the delegates of various countries are very concerned. Nambu, the only person who previously knew of Galactor, now officially announces the existence of both this criminal organization and the Science Ninja Team that has been formed to defeat it.

The Science Ninja Team receives Nambu's orders, unites in the "God Phoenix", and flies off right away to a missile-launching base where the mecha was sighted.

Ken stops Joe, who's eager to get into his first real fight. Ken takes Jun along and they sneak inside the mecha. With Ken's help, the God Phoenix then enters the mecha, and Joe, Jinpei, and Ryu join the battle against the Galactor members.

A spaceship disappears, along with a device that can report and record the location of the Earth's resources.

The Science Ninja Team receives Nambu's instructions and heads toward the bottom of the sea, in the vicinity of the spot where contact with a spaceship was lost. There, shrimp-shaped bulldozers leave a huge aircraft carrier located on the sea bottom to build a uranium factory. Ken stops Ryu, who wants to fire a bird missile and sneaks into the aircraft carrier alone.

Ken discovers the spaceship's capsule inside the aircraft carrier, but the astronauts who were on board have been taken hostage. Ken attempts to rescue them, however, in reality, the pilots were already murdered. Showing them as if they were still alive was a trap.

Jinpei sneaks into the aircraft carrier, following Ken on Joe's orders. He is able to rescue Ken as he is being led underground. The two of them collect the device and escape, destroying the computer in the aircraft carrier.

Deadly crashes involving passenger planes keep occurring. Ken, who's investigating these occurrences, encounters a boy named Makoto, who is awaiting the return of his father who was reported missing in one of the accidents.

Makoto's father is the younger brother of Dr. Takahara, the inventor of "uranless", a new element. It is found that the string of plane crashes were caused by Galactor, which is intent on getting the uranless, since it is capable of neutralizing the means of propulsion of their giant mummy.

Ken encountered the mummy in his Cessna before, and because of that incident, he has data concerning the propulsion system of the mummy. He contacts Dr. Takahara in order to get the uranless. He meets Makoto's father, who miraculously survived the crash, but it's really Berugu Kattse in disguise, who battles with Ken and escapes. Makoto blames Ken for torturing his father, and Ken promises to bring back his father—whereupon he gets the pin hiding the uranless.
