Many moons ago Gatchaman was a Japanese anime based on the Science Ninja Team (Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman) of five heroes lead by Ken with Jo, Jun, Ryu and Jinpei. The series is far more familiar to Western viewers as "Battle of the Planets." Fast forward to 2015 and Gatchaman Crowds is an updated version of the same idea. As in the original series Berg Katze is the villain who uses Rui to his advantage while trying to act the good guy.
