Science Ninja Team Gatchaman - Season 1 Episode 14 The Terrible Icecander
It is reported that all kind of nuclear ships (cruise ships, submarines, battle ships etc) are disappearing.
It is the deed of the Galactor mecha Icecander, aiming at nuclear energy.
While investigating these incidents, the Science Ninja Team gets a message that a suspicious iceberg is moving forward against the current of the sea. The God Phoenix follows the iceberg, going to the north pole, where they discover a base in the middle of icebergs. Ken and Jun sneak into the base.
In the base, while they are trying to take out the nuclear reactor, an operation is performed, designed to convert the crew and the passengers of the ships into Galactor members. With this strategy, Galactor wants to gain nuclear energy AND new members at the same time.
Just at this moment, Katse wants to perform the operation on a small girl, passenger on one of the cruise ships. Ken and Jun invade the room and stop the operation, but Katse locks them up and leaves a time bomb in the room. In this instance, an old man in a wheelchair, who was on the same ship as the little girl, takes the time bomb in his arms and sacrifices himself, saving the others from the explosion.
Ken and the others exit the operation room. First they free the abducted passengers and let them get back on board, then they blow up the base and escape.
The Icecander pursues them, but the God Phoenix encounters it using the fiery phoenix and the mecha goes up in flames.
