A normal Saturday night. Or is it?
Only a handful of highly trained experts realize the truth.
The Earth is being watched by creatures from space.
Hurry it up!
Pull over.
License? Let's go.
You were speeding. Registration?
What is it? What's wrong?
He... he vanished into thin air!
A wooded hill outside Tokyo.
An innocent-looking radar station.
But deep in the earth beneath it lies the secret headquarters of Ultra Squad.
An elite team of five fearless specialists whose mission it is to defend the earth against invasion from space at all costs.
Armed with the most sophisticated weapons that Japanese technology can provide.
And supported by a contingent of 300 crack troops, Ultra Squad is ready for anything.
Ultra One Commander Kiriyama, age 38. Specialty, invasion prevention.
Commander Kiriyama, sir.
Kiriyama reporting, Major.
Well, Commander.
Sir.
You heard about the civilian disappearance last night?
Yes, sir.
Highly irregular.
You and Ultra Squad had better look
into this matter at once.
Takenaka, fill him in.
Last night's occurrence wasn't the first.
At least three other civilians have vanished
over the last 10 days.
It seems it could happen any place.
A restaurant, a hotel lobby, and a baseball stadium.
In our view, there's a very strong chance
that aliens are at the root of these strange attacks.
Aliens?
From space?
And of course, that's why we sent for you, Kiriyama.
This is a job for Ultra Squad.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, major.
Ultra II, Lieutenant Soga, age 24, specialty, marksman.
Ultra III, Captain Furuhashi, age 29, specialty,
acrobatics and martial arts.
Furuhashi's physical strength is legendary.
Ultra IV, Lieutenant Amagi, age 26, IQ 208, specialty, strategy.
Ultra squad, report to operation center immediately.
Ultra V, Dr. Donna Mishibata, age, classified information.
Specialty, medicine and shot.
Ultra squad, report to operation center immediately.
The situation is grave. There has been another incident.
For the first time, they have struck in daylight and against our own security team.
What happened, sir?
A two-man intruder patrol disappeared along with its vehicle.
The only conclusion we can draw from this is that the aliens know we are a special anti-invasion unit, and this was a warning.
From now on, you all are to exercise extreme caution, understood?
Commander, where did this happen?
50 kilometers west of Point U.
Point U?
That's in our sector, sir. Correct. I want you and Furuhashi out there at once.
Yes, sir.
Go on, get out of the way.
Who do you think you are stopping us like that anyway?
You wanna lift, stick out your thumb,
don't stand in the middle of the road, geez.
Teach him a lesson.
Right.
Let's go.
Now what is?
Go on, give it a little more.
Very funny.
We're on an important government mission, you know.
Get lost.
Excuse me, Lieutenant Soga.
I didn't mean to offend you.
You know my name?
Sure, and you're Captain Furuhashi,
the strongest man in Ultra Squad.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
I just came to warn you, Captain.
Your lives could be in danger.
What are you talking about?
He's loony.
Don't laugh, I know what I'm saying.
If you want to stay healthy,
don't go any further up there.
We laugh at danger in Ultra Squad.
Let's go.
Wait a minute, you're asking for trouble.
Lieutenant.
Furuhashi.
Listen, you mustn't go any farther.
This guy's crazy captain, there is nothing up there at all.
See you later. So long.
I'm not crazy. You're walking into a trap.
Stay back.
Listen to me.
Come back. They'll get you.
Hold it slow.
The fools.
I told them but they wouldn't listen to me.
Now maybe you will.
These aliens are no pushovers.
Their weapons are very advanced and their spaceships invisible.
They plan to take over the earth any day now.
They didn't want to move so quickly but they're worried.
They know that Ultra Squad has been told to thwart their plan.
They want to use all these men they're beaming up as hostages.
Who are you anyway?
Oh, just a drifter captain.
Have you got a name?
Sometimes.
For now. The name Dan Moriboshi will do.
You're a strange one.
They've seen us.
Quick, get into the car.
Right.
The back or the front?
The back.
Right.
Get the door.
Right.
Hit the bottom button, it'll activate the force field.
How do I activate the engine?
The top button.
Middle button, right.
So got to off center, Donna, come in.
Hi, Soga trouble?
Yeah, plenty, those aliens hit us.
Their ship is invisible.
What? Did you say?
Uh-huh. Invisible, Commander.
We'll tell you more the minute we get in.
Should we send help?
No, Donna. They could still be right over us.
An invisible spacecraft.
Beaming up human beings to be held as hostages.
Yes, sir. It seems the aliens think Ultra Squad won't retaliate if it means putting members of their own species in danger.
Diabolical. They want to tie our hands with our own coat of honor.
There's more to it than that, sir.
The young man who rescued Soga and Fulhashi is convinced the aliens are doing tests on the hostages.
Is that so?
Yes, Major. He says they want to identify our strengths and weaknesses before going into battle.
A sound strategy.
But one which clears the way for us to retaliate, those people have to be saved.
Precisely. Kiriyama, yes sir?
I want you and Ultra Squad to get to work on a method of making that spacecraft visible.
We can't rescue anybody if we can't see them, can we?
No sir.
Commander, Major Yonohoka, come quickly.
Leaders of Ultra Squad, if you wish to see those we have taken hostage again,
lay down your arms and surrender your planet to us.
So commands the Emperor of Zondark.
Tell you emperer that he underestimates the power of our defense system
and the fighting ability of our forces.
You won't get your pincers on our planet so easily.
Insolent Peck Squeak, you are nothing but insects to us.
Look on your brothers and despair.
Geez.
Consider carefully, earthlings.
Their fate depends on your answer.
Surrender or they die.
Surrender or we attack.
What is your answer?
No.
You fools must be demonstrated power.
I wonder what he means by that.
Seconds later.
They could destroy the entire world in a day.
Well, we'll have to fight fire with fire
and neutralize that spaceship.
It's invisible, though.
How do we spot it?
Ultra Squad will come up with something.
That ship will show up on radar.
We could track it and then shoot it down with a missile.
Killing every hostage on board.
Brilliant.
Or had you forgotten about then,
I don't like your tone, Takanaka.
Gentlemen.
Commander, they've destroyed talking those Industrial Complex.
Oh
Down down to feel is next upper squad
Let's go after them. We must act now cool down a buggy
We can't go after them without plan
Dan can you think of a plan that'll save the earth those aliens are out to destroy us
You bet I can you've got one already
Mm-hmm as I see it our main problem is their ships invisible so it seems to me the first thing we have to do is make it visible
Now the best way to do that is to coat their ship with spray paint a bright red for instance
Ingenious, but how do we get the coating on use a hundred gallon missile and radar?
I'll go discuss it with the major
Commander Kiriyama outlines Dan's plan for Major Yamaoka the major reflects then gives his decision
Go ahead. Good luck.
As the missile is prepared, the Ultra Squad radar station monitors the alien ships every move.
Operation airbrush, cleared for takeoff.
Prepare to launch.
His courage and quick thinking have earned Dan Moriboshi a tryout with Ultra Squad.
He has joined the other Ultra Squad members aboard Ultra Strike, Ultra Squad's modular jet fighter.
All clear, Ultra Squad. Good attack.
Attack.
Our radar shows us closing in on the alien ship.
Konohashi, be careful.
We're within range of enemy fire.
Target, two o'clock.
Prepare to fire.
Now.
There it is, split up and attack.
All right.
Windom, get him, boy.
,
Windom, look up!
,
Run!
Whatever that thing is, save us, commander.
Dan Moriboshi sure stole our thunder that time, didn't he?
He's a one man show.
That's for sure.
Where is Dan anyway?
I haven't seen him since we got back.
He's right here, Donna.
Don't worry.
I want to introduce Ultra Six.
Dan's one of us now.
I know that we are all looking forward to working with him
from now on.
Go Winters!
