SPC Mysteries

[Blackcat]

Talking about brain, where's the brain of ? It seems to have no enough space in her head to hold a brain.

Burkey, congratulations, the 4444th post is yours. Has such number some mystical meaning?

Ever heard of microchips?, they are part robot after all...l

there's one thing that i've been curious about lately.

in the original KNT version, Tanken! Otenba Hime no Yuuenchi (Let the Cellar Beware!) was considered episode #5, and Idol Tanjou? Geinoukai no Amai Wana (Singing Samurai Sensation) was listed as #6. In SPC, however, the first was listed as #6, and the other #5.

[Methid Man]

Which episode list are you looking at? Have you seen this in other lists? Maybe it could've been misarranged by mistake.

If the order is indeed different, Saban has been known to rearrange footage and even entire episodes in their dubs so I wouldn't be surprised.

Actually you got it backwards. In original KNT ep 5 was the one with Mipple. In more than one Japanese KNT ep list it says this.

Plus, watch the end of ep 4. It says the upcoming episode is Idol Tanjou? Geinoukai no Amai Wana.

It is Saban that made it ep 6.

Actually you can think she's empty head, as suggested by this manga from Violet's Internet Empire.

I've just systematized my SPC episodes numbering (see here), then I lern about an inversion of order like that. Well, things is turning more complex than I expected.

How does Francine always know who to send in when they call for a member of the rescue team?

Really a good question. 
We must hear the bell for differents rescue team member, perhaps there is a small shift in the sound frequency. It isn't a good theory, but its only one I got.

Mmmm.... it can either be that like in the same fashion as Morse Code, only with bells or just good guessing or observation of area like if underground, send Meowsma.

Anyway, here's another one.

In "Bad Bird Uncaged Part 1", Polly & Guido are in uniform before their encounter with the stranger. Was a night patrol recommened by Big Al. If so, why wasn't Speedy with them?

I didn't watch SPC version, but KNT one instead. One of the cats (Sukashii or Pururun, I don't remember) points out that the ideia of the night patrol came from Yattarou. Other cat wonders why Yattarou isn't with them then, and get the answer that Yattarou have the habit to go to bed at 8:00 pm. The sleeping time of Yattarou is pretty odd, for a pizza shop worker.

A really gopod question could be where is from the Catatonic Spirit (Kuroi Busho)? The only we know about this guy is that he is the only true samurai cat in the serie...

[KageReneko]

This is another mistery... Megumi Hayashibara did a role in KNT; who had her voice????

The "evil-mecha-of-the-week" from episode 26 "Daibouken! Zekko-chou wo Sagase". Its name was Chomoranma Nibunnoichi-gou (No. 1/2)

[Daisensei]

The helmet ears are primarily for the aesthetic look of the characters--in fact, they're canonically artificial (in one episode, Speedy removes one of his ears and plants it as a listening device).  Francine's probably look similar because the other Cats are virtually never seen without their helmets, so a change on her part would throw off the overall design.

While the Cats are seen without their armor in "Wet, Wild Weekend", the model sheets present a very different view of them: in the production models, the characters are completely devoid of both armor and skin, granting them a creepy, semi-skeletal look.  The sheets focus around the fact that the Cats (and everyone else in Little Tokyo) are cybernetic, something that the show tends to ignore.

Sometime ago we discussed about the ears of the cats. As you can see in the pics from KNT 30, it seems that sounds hurts the ears (?) at both sides of head, but not those on the top.

[KyoZaber]

Or it could be the fact that their heads feel like splitting open because of the terrible noise. 

[miss_cliche]

I noticed that throughout the entire series, Polly was the only one ever seen without a helmet on. Why did Speedy and Guido never take them off? Were they bald or something and trying to hide it?

Well, I don't think Speedy was bald at least. I remember coming across a picture of him where it looked like he had some hair coming out of a taped-up crack in his helmet...It was a light brownish colour...But still, I can't help but wonder about it.

When you live with a person who likes kick your ass everyday you need all the protection you need...

Speedy and Guido have traditional hairdos (Is this the word) of the antique Edo...

[KyoZaber]

Here's a mystery for discussion...

Polly's strength. I'm talkin about those leathal weapons called her bare hands.
Forget her claws... she could probably crush wind-pipes like be.... pop cans!

How do you suppose she got that way, and why?

I mean... It's obvious she's done some heavy stuff, I'm just wondering if you think she's been doing it all her life, or ever since the day she woke up and said "I'm gonna be a Samurai!"

[Methid Man]

Hormonal imbalance.
