In Crowds, the renamed "Berg-Katze" is a former Gatchaman who's an alien and has destroyed planets, and has his own super-powered form. Berg Katse's rewritten origins in both the live-action film and Crowds have caused some base breakage.In the case of the last one, the production doing away entirely with the "birdstyle" suits and containing no familiar characters but Katse already earned it a very negative reception before its airdate. Remakes such as the OVA, the live action film, and "Gatchaman Crowds" are subject to much scrutiny and debate over their flaws and merits, due to how much liberties they take with the original source material.

Each with their own vehicle and unique weapons, only Gatchaman's high tech group of five young people can defend the earth from Galactor's repeated attacks as they attempt of fulfill their mission to find Galactor's hidden headquarters and finally defeat Galactor. In the future, earth is attacked by Galactor with a series of mechanical menaces.
