Hi all!

Which is what causes most of the variations that people have noticed, along with variations dependant on the quality of the original source material and the transfers made from them.
Going to the most primary of source materials, I've checked the animation cels I have from Gatchaman, Gatchaman II, and Gatchaman Fighter. I don't have a ton of cels of Jun in her civilian clothing, but in those that I do have, her hair is painted in some shade of green.

Yes and no. This material does come from a series with the proposed title of "Gatchaman 2," but it is not the same Planning that was eventually used to create "Gatchaman II." The series we know as "Gatchaman II" came from Planning for a series that was tentatively titled "New Science Ninja Team Gatchaman."
By a comment in the "Gatchaman 2" Planning that it had been two years since the original "Gatchaman" ended, it is likely that this Planning was created in 1976, two years before "Gatchaman II" was finally produced. Beyond the basic concepts of X returning to Earth and attacking with a recreated Gallactor, and of Joe being saved by beicoming a cyborg, there are very few similarities between this Planning and what eventually became "Gatchaman II."
Regardless, in the "Gatchaman 2" Planning, Governor X was to have saved Joe by making him into a cyborg who worked for Gallactor. Joe would have spent his time combatting the Science Ninja Team under the guise of the Space Joker (With the "Jo" part of "Joker" being spelled using the same katakana as the name "Joe" was). One of his main weapons was to be black-colored Feather Shuriken, and his main ship was a flying mecha named the "Condora." While I'm sure that they weren't going to tell people right away that the Space Joker was actually Joe, these things (Along with a recognizable, if disguised, face)would have made it hard for most viewers not to have figured out who he was.

computer can't bring up the picture. Could you post it in the Rubber Room? Thanks!
