Recap / Golgo 13 Ep 5 The Superstars Joint Appearance

Go To

Golgo is hired by an aging company president named Ted Conan to assassinate his old protegee Bob Stinger when Bob decides to take a hit out on him to become his replacement in the company. To do so he has hired a famous Olympic sniper named Ledell Nikolavitch to shoot him while he's exiting a plane at the airport. Anticipating this, Ted attaches a single condition to Golgo's contract... he must kill Bob right at the exact moment Bob planned for him to die. To pull off the job and beat his foe Golgo will need to perfect his aim and calculations down to the smallest detail if he is to have any chance of success.


  • Boom, Headshot!: Both Bob Stinger and Ledell Nikolavitch meet their end this way during the last few minutes of the episode.
  • Inheritance Murder: Bob seeks to kill Ted so he can take his position in the company despite the fact that Ted is the one who started his career in the first place.
  • Sniper Duel: Between ace hitman Duke Togo and Olympic sniper Ledell Nikolavitch at the end of the episode. Duke wins in about 5 seconds.
