Edoropolis Emporium

I would like to open a topic to discuss mysteries about KNT (only) episodes.

I will start: In the first KNT episode we can see Nyanki are launched from the cannon but it`s cylinder is not turning.
How is that possible?

I cheked some other episodes - no cylinder turning.

The answer is simple: the canon didn't have any Cialis that day.

Even simpler answer - lazy animators.  :O

I'll have you know; 50% of cannons between the ages of 40-70 years old experience Launch Sequence Disfunction to some degree.

I'd have to double check this to make sure, but as far as I can remember: In episode 2 Karamaru addresses Yattarou by name. But in their previous (presumably first) encounter in episode 1, neither he nor either of the other 2 Nyanki revealed their names to him (although he does reveal his own name to them just before he leaves). :huh:

I think that animation wasn't added until later in the series and so many of the earlier episodes simply have the still shot while others have the barrel rotation. At least...that's what I think it is...someone double check my theory!

Yes. Maybe the animators were lazy. I now checked KNT episodes 50 and 52 - in them we have properly working barrel.
One episode must have been made with working barrel - I don`t think SPC animators were happy if they were told to make the barrel rotation.

In the first episode, while in battle, I can only hear  :speedy: addresses :guido: by name.
In SPC he said something like "Hey, Guido, I am in the mood for fried chicken, what do you say?"
In KNT I can only understand "Sukashi".

After that :guido: uses his Nyanki Ninpo (umbrella to hypnotize the enemy)

A new mystery:

What I like in KNT is the background music which sets the mood for the scene that is happening or about to happen
1) KNT 7 "Maji!? Karamaru ga hiirou ni naru hi" when  :badbird: is talking about his papa we can here this music:
http://www.zshare.net/audio/67061868fa28493e/

Why don`t the creators insert some more "battlish music"?
I see - this scene is not a demo of some extra hard martial art technique. But IMHO such scenes better to show with music like "The Rival (Karamaru VS Nyanki) [first track] (see this (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=3236.0) topc also).
Still, this fast shuriken throwing technique from :badbird:`s papa do require special training.

if I'm not mistaken then that's not karamarus dad but karamaru himself, in spc they said it was his dad but I think in knt it was karamaru himself and I think the ost fits for that moment

Yeah, I don't understand a lick of japanese, but I have seen this one part and the little crows distinctly call him Karamaru. This leads me to believe that in KNT actuality, it's a daydream of him being a hero to karakara fledglings and something to look up to...or something along those lines. That's just the impression I get from the scene anyway...

Wow. I always wondered why Bad Bird's dad looked exactly like Bad Bird.

If we see the :badbird: himself then the OST will fit for the scene. Its like the "dreaming music".

He said Karamaru-San. Then I guess it is a :badbird: in person.
And he may be dreaming about being a hero to fledglings - who doesn`t dreams about being a expert in some activity and proudly show it to a beginners

For the KNT Wikia article Neko Me Slash (http://kyattounindenteyandee.wikia.com/wiki/Neko_Me_Slash) I need to find the answer on the Mystery in episode 44: Where we can see the real Youtou-Masamasa sword and where - fake. Here we go:

05:46 :speedy:`s magical sword was replaced by a ordinary one.
07:27 A real sword is shown to  :bigcheese:
10:10  :badbird: is testing the prototype of the Youtou-Masamasa sword using a real one and a copy
10:40 A real sword was replace by theft robot with a copy
13:29 :speedy: found a real Youtou-Masamasa sword
14:45 Secong :speedy:`s sword is replaced (with a copy?)
15:23 :badbird: is trying to perform Neko Me Slash with 2 copies(?) of magical sword
16:20 In this scene I can only assume that Yattaro is using a real Youtou-Masamasa sword. That means the theft robot is using 2 copies of it.

If anyone can help me solve this mystery - I would be grateful.  ;)

Why do :jerry: always says his name ( Gennarisai ) after :bigcheese: explosions in the end of episode?

He doesn't say his name, but "Gennnari" (げんなり) instead. It means "out of spirits", "down" or "depressed". Thus Gennarisai's name is a pun. Moreover, "gen" and "sai" particles are largely employed in old Japanese male names.

Yes, he is down after :bigcheese: explosions :)

But still is some episodes I hear Gennarisai is this image proves that:

Thanks for the explanation, Daisensei. I had heard that there was some sort of pun going on there but never found an explanation for it.

Thanks Daisensei. I thought he was using his name for a pun, but wasn't sure. I think I saw it translated as "fed up" before, but your version makes sense too. Either way, we can tell he's not too happy about getting blown up.


I don't think it makes a difference, the pun he's making is still the same. Or, I don't know, maybe he's secretly a Pokémon. ;)

I guess so.
Thanks, Daisensei for the pun explanation.  :)

KNT 32:

What is that below the :polly: jetpack. Is this her second flute?

It's her (Only) flute... She keeps it there for use it in her introduction and the Heart  Breaker... This is not a mistery; don't you have the model sheets??

She has it even in her NES sprite...

EDIT: I hadn't looked your pic with attention, it is the episode when  :polly: loses her flute... I think it is just another mistake from the animators since we see how  :polly: is playing the cornet that :speedy: gave her...

Ok then  ;]
