SPC Mysteries

I recently came across a very nice image of the scene in the KNT intro that features the unknown character discussed a few posts above, thought I'd share it so you can get a better look if you're interested.

Is not really a hidden character, just a cameo.

Nice helmet, kid.

When I look at the char, the word "dork" comes to mind.

Left to right:
Shot of Polly in Episode 11 (And an intresting caption.)
Money of Little Tokyo (What does it say on it?)
Mistake with colouring (And an odd result)
What Does EIZU mean?
Bug with sunglasses seen with mother and son (my next avatar)
and at night

Neat stuff, eh?

[Helios]

In reference to the previous posts about the armour placement/launch sequence: how, when the bullet canister things are placed into the launcher in the order of Speedy, Guido and Polly, does Polly get fired before Guido?

I remember there was a discussion on those "schematic" pics already in another thread. Just in case anyone missed it, "oppai" is Japanese for "boobs".  And "XXXX"... well, I think you can figure that out. Her ear was also labeled as "mimi" ("ear").

"Eizu" means "AIDS". For some reason, all of the labels on Sukashii's pic refer to various diseases or medical ailments. His foot was also labeled "mizumushi" ("athlete's foot"), his chest as "kekkaku" ("tuberculosis"), and his head as "nō shuyō" ("brain tumor").

For completion's sake, Yattarou's head was labeled "aho manuke" ("foolish blockhead/dunce"), his torso as "harahetta" ("I'm hungry!"), his crotch as "kintama" ("(gold) balls"), and his head profile as "okane ga hoshii" ("wants money").

As for the money... from what I can tell, the yellow ones are marked "ichi man", meaning ten thousand (10,000). The green ones are marked "ichi sen", meaning one thousand (1000).

Interestingly enough, the cats' tails are all colored yellow on their "Edo-Mae Set" toys as well.

I remember seeing that bug a couple times, but I never noticed it had sunglasses. Very interesting!

Man, those schematic labels are harsh. 

[Mechadon]

Man, those schematic labels are harsh. 

I know man. I want to kill the person who did that to Polly. It's like they're saying those are her only interesting features. It's SEXIST! Polly is the ultimate bad-ass and they're treating her like some object. I'M GONNA KILL THEM!

[felineki]

They're just jokes, you know.

The plight of the objectified ninja girl.

Even better: why doesn't the cannon rotate when Fran's screen does?

Plot holes is all.

I'm still trying to figure what the yellow part of the bug is.

But who is that character with Fred's sword? (and on the topic of Fred, does he speak normally in KNT?)

Most big shot nobles of the Edo era would have a retainer to sit near them and keep their sword handy.  That's Fred's sword, but he's too important to be bothered carrying it himself.  And, no, he doesn't speak normally in KNT.  He usually just throws in a "Baka!" or "Aho" to comment on the activities going on around him.

There are times though, that I've seen him speaking for several seconds instead of just a one or two word sentence.

Lets go for another plot hole  with the cannon:  When the pizza cats jump into the ovens, they go forward quite a bit, the down a lot more:  why do they then climb at a 45 degree angle up the tube?  They'd miss the cannon by a mile.

Are you sure? I don't remember that. Only in the final sequence of the ending episode of KNT series one can watch Usahime speaking anything (but unintelligible) and Ieie saying ('honto wa shabererunda' = 'actually I can speak').

Actually they don't enter into the oven, but into rubbish disposal chute instead; I've learned that when read the KNT 31 script scans kindly suplied by  .

The episode was Unidentified Flying Oddballs, when Fred speaks nonsense to the aliens for a bit. I don't know if he was saying nonsense in KNT as well(I haven't watched the original of that episode), but it looked to me like he was speaking.

It still caused everyone to fall over, though.

In the KNT version the aliens spoke Ie-Ie's language.

Theres still the question of how the tunnel would reach the bullet chamber (and why the chamber is bigger on the outside than the inside.

But a more important question remainds: are mama-san and junior dogs, or beavers?

[felineki]

I don't think you can really come up for an explanation for the whole "suting up" sequence. Flying down vast tunnels and chutes at high speeds just looks cool and that's all there is to it, IMO.

Mama and junior are tanuki, I think. "Raccoon dogs".

[adam808]

The cats jumping into the chutes reminds me of the opening to Getter Robo Go.

Right, this is my first thread on here. I know there is no real answer for this, but I just want your opinons on this. Why do all of you think and are so shy when it comes to removing their helmets? I mean, what are they so shy to show us? Do they have a bad haircut? Do they think their head is too out of proportion with the rest of their body? What do you think?
