Grendizer Blows Up the Vega Star Alliance’s Undersea Base!
Hello, everyone. Ever since King Vega built his undersea base, Japan has been under constant threat. The director and the rest of us were really struggling. But with the completion of our new weapon, the Ultra Submarine, we finally succeeded in destroying the undersea base. This month, I’ll tell you all about it! (Daisuke Umon)
Koji’s Heroic Feat
Koji really shone during the battle at the undersea base. At first, he got too close to the Veghians and was captured. But, as you would expect from him, he spotted an opening in their defenses and revealed the location of the undersea base—which had been shrouded in mystery until then—to the rest of us. The time has finally come to attack the undersea base.
Ultra Submarine, Go!
Just in time, the long-awaited deep-sea scooter, the Ultra Submarine, has been completed. With Grendizer on board, all you have to do is close the capsule, and it’ll dive effortlessly to a depth of 3,000 meters. It’s also equipped with weapons like the Submarine Beam and missiles. Now, let’s get moving. “Ultra Submarine, Go!”
Grendizer: The Great Battle at the Bottom of the Sea
The Ultra Submarine’s power is incredible. It dodged attacks from the Vega Beasts Gura Gura and Ibu Ibu, and used the Ultra Drill to blast a hole in the undersea base. That’s when it rescued Koji. Now, there’s nothing to fear. It fired Submarine Torpedoes, destroying the engine room, command center etc. It also took down the attacking Vega Beasts with its drill and Double Harken. Thanks to the Ultra Submarine’s magnificent performance, the undersea base was blown up. It’s just a pity that they couldn’t capture Minister Zuril and Commander Gandal. Even the Vega Army’s formidable undersea base was blown to smithereens.
I will have my revenge... King Vega
Ugh, that damned Grendizer! It was a mistake to leave the attack from the undersea base to Zuril and Gandal. They’re completely useless.
From now on, I’ll take charge and defeat Grendizer. Then I’ll conquer Earth. At Skull Moon Base, preparations for the next attack are steadily moving forward. Grendizer, just you wait!
