After Leader X is seemingly destroyed for good at the end of Gatchaman II, a fragment of him that survived grows and mutates into Z. 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.
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).
As the series progresses, it is learned that the radiation exposure from constant use of the Hypershoot is slowly killing Ken, and that continued use would mean death. Meanwhile, Z plans to destroy the earth with an antimatter asteroid, codenamed "Poison Apple".

Where it came from
Eagle Riders emerged in 1979 as a localized North American adaptation of the Japanese anime series Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter. Produced by DAX International, the series was designed to introduce Western audiences to the high-stakes science fiction narratives and character-driven drama popularized by Tatsunoko Production’s original source material.
The production process involved heavy editing and re-dubbing to fit the standards and storytelling conventions of late 1970s American television. While the series faced challenges in securing a consistent broadcast footprint compared to its predecessors, it remains a notable example of the early wave of international anime distribution, reflecting the creative efforts to translate complex Japanese animation for a diverse global market.
