Ken assumes a false identity to penetrate a clandestine fighting tournament where martial artists battle to the death in underground arenas. The competition serves as a front for Galactor's recruitment operation. Winners find themselves kidnapped and transported to a hidden Galactor facility. Those who reject membership face a grim fate: abandonment in dense jungle terrain where they become living targets for Galactor soldiers conducting training exercises. Ken must navigate both the lethal tournament and the organization's brutal selection process while searching for a way to escape with his life. This opening volume launches a series of standalone adventures, each spotlighting a different member of the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman as they confront various threats.
