Synopsis:

In 2066, the withdrawal of the Republic of Hontworl from the United Nations throws global stability into question. This geopolitical shift is quickly overshadowed by a new threat: the Turtle King, a formidable avian fortress, launches an attack on Myori, the capital of the Republic of Triad. The International Science Organization, led by Dr. Nanbu, struggles to understand this enigmatic enemy while its own scientists vanish without a trace.

The Gatchaman, a team of five specialized warriors, are reassembled to investigate these unsettling events. Years have passed since their previous confrontations with Berg Katze and Galactor, leaving their skills untested. As the Gatchaman delve deeper into the mystery of the Turtle King and the disappearances within the ISO, they must confront not only a powerful new adversary but also the challenges of rediscovering their unity and purpose in a changing world. The series explores themes of international relations, scientific responsibility, and the enduring struggle against overwhelming odds.
