Fall 1979 Anime

During an era of rigid class divisions and escalating hardship among the common people, the Austrian Empire sends Princess Marie Antoinette to France to marry Crown Prince Louis XVI. This political marriage is intended to strengthen the alliance between the two nations, but the future queen deeply resents having her fate decided for her. Upon her arrival, Marie Antoinette is introduced to Oscar Fançois de Jarjayes, Commander of the Royal Guard. Because her father longed for a son, Oscar was raised as a boy and expected to inherit his title as Commander. Though admired by both men and women, Oscar secretly wishes to live as a woman instead of disguising herself as a man. As Oscar reluctantly serves the spoiled young queen, the growing suffering and anger of the poor become increasingly impossible to ignore—especially when Marie Antoinette carelessly wastes her wealth.

After Leader X is apparently destroyed for good at the conclusion of Gatchaman II, a surviving fragment of him grows and transforms into Z. Alongside the head of the Egobossler family, Count Egobossler (and his two underlings Mechandol and Kempler), Z is determined to destroy Earth and once again target the Science Ninja Team. Following Anderson's death, Dr. Nambu becomes the new leader of the ISO, while the team is confined to the underwater base Gallatown (also called "G-Town"). Engineer Kamo is introduced, and after the New GodPhoenix is destroyed early on, the team receives the new Gatchaspartan as their mecha. The Gatchaspartan also has a special mode called Hypershoot, which only Ken can use (with his new "Gatchafencer" sword). As the story progresses, it is revealed that the radiation exposure from frequent use of the Hypershoot is slowly killing Ken, and continued use would result in death. Meanwhile, Z plans to destroy Earth using an antimatter asteroid codenamed "Poison Apple."
