This is from a Yatterman ep that apparently had Ken and Joe 'punishing' the Boronbo trio (villains) over the ending credits. The other screenshots from the ep are posted on the BOTP mailing list under Photos: Yatterman. But this one just made me laugh, so I thought I'd share my smile with all of you.

Leave it to me to quickly check this thread out... Even though it's not a smut pic, it's still kicka##.

A complementary image -- Ken beating up Hurricane Polymer.

Oh, I remember that one from the Time Bokkan DVD!

Why is Jun so cast down. Is she embarrassed of Ken's manners?

So what is wrong with Jun here? Why does she look so forlorn?

I love this image TJ.

She's upset because she wants Ken to ask her out and say she's the most beautiful. When Ken tries to talk to her (he stuck his foot in his mouth, natch), Polymer starts laughing at him, so Ken kicks him.

Yup, if you're seeing that, it's the last thing you're going to see!

That is a great pic, TJ!

TJ I looked at that picture and there is no way I'd want to be on the recieving end of those shuriken!!!

Ohh! That is a great idea. Or the wrong end of a rang?

And the bolos! Or the airgun... Oh, wait, that's right... We saw what happens when you're on the wrong side of the airgun, or at least when you try to fire it!

Hi all! If you want to see the Yatterman special, it can be found at: http://douga119.com/anime/yatterman/sp.html The two Gatchaman appearances in the special come at 31:46, where you see Dr. Nambu as part of the guest panel on a quiz show. He has no speaking part. The second one comes at the end, at 43:33, when the entire Science Ninja Team appears to retreive a stolen ring from the Dorombo villains, though only Ken has any dialogue. Katsuji Mori returned to voice Ken and Go Mifune (AKA Speed Racer) for this special. Go Mifune's part can be seen at 17:09 into the special. Be aware that the site is very slow loading, so it may take a while, but it is worth the wait. Also, the special is entirely in Japanese, with no subtitles. Fortunately, the scenes with the "Gatchaman" characters are mostly action-oriented, so they shouldn't cause too many problems. James

Thanks, James!

Thanks James i loved the rain of shuriken from the Condor. Have you noticed that they never refer to anything but the first series, you know weapons etc.

That is because, the first series is the one most people recognize, or that more people have seen. (at least that has been my understanding while wandering these boards)

Hi all! Well, the first series is the more iconic of the three, and for something brief like that, you're going to go for what's most familiar. As for the other series never being represented, you might recall that for the Microman Tatsunoko Fight toys, the Ken figure came with both his Boomerang and the Gatchaman Fencer. James

I thought it was funny that in this "Superheroes Never Pay" clip from Time Bokan, Jun and Jinpei are wearing their Gatch I civvies, and Ken, Joe and Ryu are wearing Gatch II civvies. I don't blame Jun and Jinpei for sticking to their Gatch I clothes -the suspenders and cap that Jinpei had to wear in Gatch II, and the baggy shirt that Jun got were not improvements, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiKbQofZEFc
