With the head of the Egobossler family, Count Egobossler (and his two subordinates Mechandol and Kempler), Z is bent on destroying the Earth, and the Science Ninja Team, once more.<\/p>\n
In the wake of Anderson’s death, Dr.Nambu has become the new head of the ISO, while the team is now confined to the Gallatown (aka “G-Town”) underwater base. Engineer Kamo is introduced, and after the New GodPhoenix is destroyed early on, the team receives the new Gatchaspartan as their mecha. The Gatchaspartan has a special mode as well, called Hypershoot, that can only be utilized by Ken (with his new “Gatchafencer” sword).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Z plans to destroy the earth with an antimatter asteroid, codenamed “Poison Apple”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
