Elseworld: Gatchaman God Phoenix

Here's a trip down memory lane. Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman! Although I wasn't lucky enough to watch the original anime of the series, I did follow the western  edited version titled Battle of the Planets/ G-force. It was heavily toned down show minus the mass death tolls of mecha battles, language profanity and an enemy leader with gender issues.


Anyway, here's an "elseworld" take on the youngest member Junpei and little background of how (and why) i envisioned him as he is:

Berg Katse has succeeded in killing the Gatchaman team by sabotaging and blowing up the God Phoenix (Gatchamans spaceship). Earths other defenses soon fell one by one.

A little over 14 years has past, majority of Earth's nations have been conquered. Only a few remaining resistance groups continue fighting the Galactors forces. Then a figure resembling one of the Gatchaman resurfaces dealing strategic attacks on Galactor's facilities and operations.

A darker Junpei returns after years of recuperation and preparation...one who is hellbent on revenge. He dons a new armor and a new name. One that serves as a reminder and as a symbol of his quest....
